Den of Woe

The Den of Woe is a secret location in Final Fantasy X-2.

It is a hidden cave found in the Mushroom Rock Gorge where the spirit of Shuyin has dwelt for 1000 years. The Gullwings first stumbled upon it while heading to the Youth League headquarters when they detected Spherewaves and decide to investigate. There they discovered Ormi and Logos trying to open the sealed door by using various spheres. The goons fled but left behind one sphere, ironically this was the one that was part of the unlocking mechanism of the door: a Crimson Sphere.

The Crimson Spheres were the records of Nooj, Baralai and Gippal's experiences while training for the Crimson Squad, an elite branch of the Crusaders. Locating all 10 spheres will unlock the door and allow you to enter the Den.

The Den of Woe contains no treasure or fiends, but is filled with pyreflies that have kept Shuyin in a semi-corporeal state for a millennium, fueling his anger and grief. During your sojourn, Rikku and Paine are possessed by Shuyin, he shows Yuna how he and Lenne died, and he will also summon the images of Nooj, Baralai and Gippal to fight you. Although it is an optional side-quest of Final Fantasy X-2, unlocking and entering the Den is necessary for achieving 100% completion of the game.
