The Godhand is Rikku’s most powerful weapon and is useful for farming Gil with its Gillionaire ability. It is obtained in a secret location in Mushroom Rock Road by inputting the password “GODHAND” aboard the airship.

Upon entering the password, the player will be able to access a narrow path in Mushroom Rock Road that leads to a chest containing the weapon. It can be opened if the player has obtained the Celestial Mirror.

The weapon, in its base form, is a poor choice when it is acquired. You will need to use the Mercury Crest and Mercury Sigil to bring out its full potential.

The Mercury Crest is found in the last section of Bikanel Island. There will be a treasure chest in a shifting sand pit there where the crest can be obtained.

Mercury Sigil

The Mercury Sigil is given as a reward for finding all of the named Cactuars on Bikanel Island. Head to the final area to find a stone with a Cactuar engraved on it. Examine the stone to start the side quest.

Each Cactuar will initiate a mini game when found. If the player catches the Cactuar before being spotted, the player will battle the Cactuar. Finishing the mini game, regardless of winning or losing, rewards you with a sphere that you must insert in the Cactuar stone to begin finding the next Cactuar.

Below is a table showing each of the the targets’ locations.
