Step-By-Step Walkthrough

Step 1: In the first room, you’ll find two Djose spheres – one on each of the walls to your left and right. Take them both and place them on the door directly across the entrance.

Additional Notes + Tips

Obtaining the Magic Sphere in Djose / FFX
Obtaining the Magic Sphere in Djose

Keep in mind that if you mess up with the pedestal in the second room, or it becomes stuck for any reason, you can use the shining tile to the left to reset it.

Also, the hidden treasure in Djose Temple is a Magic Sphere. This can be used on your Sphere Grid to convert an empty node into a “+4 Magic” node. If you forget to obtain the treasure with the Destruction Sphere then you can return to Djose Temple later on in the game to retrieve it.

Although there are other ways to get magic spheres in FFX, so if you don’t get the treasure from the Djose Cloister then it’s not a huge loss.
