Summons have been a staple of theFinal Fantasyseriesever since its fourth entryand that is once again the case inFinal Fantasy X. Here, however, they’re known as Aeons and play a very important role in the game’s epic narrative. Players will obtain five of them as they make their way through the story, although will need to complete some fairly difficult challenges in order to do so. There are also three optional Aeons that players can recruit, but adding them to Yuna’s list of summonable Aeons is also going to require quite a bit of work.

Rather than simply completing each of the temples' Cloister of Trials, players will also need to gain access to the six Destruction Sphere treasures. This guide will explain exactly how to do this, while also detailing when and where players will be able to find and recruit the three additional Aeons inFinal Fantasy X. Obtainingall eight of themis not going to be easy and will take a considerable amount of time, although, with the right strategy, things do become quite a bit easier, not to mention faster as well.
Updated July 26, 2025 by Tom Bowen:Since being added to Xbox Game Pass back in May, the number of people who have played Final Fantasy 10 has increased dramatically. That trend looks set to continue too, with the game set to remain on the platform for at least the foreseeable future and also scheduled to be added to PS Now in early December. For those who are yet to delve into the title’s epic story or are in the process of planning a return trip to Spira, this guide will explain how to unlock all eight Aeons as well as how to solve all of Final Fantasy 10’s challenging Cloister of Trials puzzles.

Summon Abilities
Pain & Oblivion
Before players can obtain Anima, they’ll first need to have obtained the Destruction Sphere treasure from the temples in Besaid, Kilika, Djose, Macalania, Bevelle, and Zanarkand. While the first five can and should be obtained on the player’s first visit, the one at Zanarkand Temple can only be acquired by returning to the temple once the airship has been unlocked. Upon doing so, players will face a new Cloister of Trials and must complete it in order to get their hands on the Magistral Rod and break the final seal at Baaj Temple.
Zanarkand Temple Cloister of Trials Solution (Second Visit)
Players will eventually come to a room with six statues and must interact with each of them to remove the seal that’s blocking the door leading to the Chamber of the Fayth. Upon entering, they’ll meet with Seymour’s mother, and a short conversation about how and why she became a Fayth will ensue. After it’s over, she’ll bestow her powers upon Yuna and players will finally gain the ability to summon Anima.

Defeat Lady Ginnem and then agree a contract with Yojimbo
Daigoro, Kozuka, Wakizashi & Zanmoto
To gain access to the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth, players will need to make their way to the Calm Lands and look for the gorge in the northern area near the entrance to Mt. Gagazet. Here, they’ll find a cave in which the restless spirit of Lulu’s first summoner Lady Ginnem still lingers and must defeat her and Yojimbo in battle so that Yuna can send her to the Farplane. Once she’s gone, players will then need to speak with Yojimbo in the Chamber of the Fayth and tell him that they’d like to secure his services “to defeat the most powerful of enemies.”
At this point, players will need to agree a contract with Yojimbo before they’re able to summon him. He’ll initially ask for 250,000 Gil, although it’s possible to drive this price down closer to the 200,000 Gil mark by offering half of his asking price plus one. Players will be able to submit up to three counteroffers providing they don’t go too low, but if he doesn’t accept the final one, they’ll need to leave and reenter the area and try again. If players pay triple his asking price, they’ll also get two teleport spheres as well as recruiting the Aeon to the party.

Unlock Requirements
Recruit the other 7 Aeons and obtain the Blossom Crown and Flower Scepter
Camisade, Razzia & Passado
Before players can obtain the game’s final Aeon, they’ll first need to capture one of every monster at Mt. Gagazet to get the Blossom Crown from the shopkeeper at the Monster Arena. Once they’ve recruited the five story-related Aeons as well as Anima and Yojimbo, they’ll then need to head over to Remiem Temple which can be found in the southeastern area of the Calm Lands. The path that leads there is near the entrance to Macalania woods, although it can only be accessed by investigating the yellow feather while riding a Chocobo.
Upon their arrival, players will encounter the unsent summoner Belgemine and must defeat the first five of her Aeons in combat to get the Blossom Crown. Defeating Anima and Yojimbo isn’t required to unlock The Magus Sisters, although doing so will reward players with the Moon Sigil for Yuna’s Celestial Weapon and so is definitely worth doing. With the two key items now in hand, players can break the seal on the door to the Chamber of the Fayth and head inside to obtain their eighth and final Aeon, The Magus Sisters.
