Strategy
Calibrating the Lightning rod towers
You can find ten towers standing around Thunder Plains. There are five towers stationed in each section. You need to approach one of these to start the mini-game. Bear in mind that the difficulty will vary, with towers on the south section being easier than those that occupy the north section.
| 1 | Approach a tower and press X to start. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Perform the calibration, making sure not to commit a mistake three times. |
| 3 | You can monitor your progress by talking to the technician at the Travel Agency. |
After you calibrate each tower once, you can receive a garment grid from the Al Bhed at the Travel Agency.
