I thought it would only be prudent to make a note about this in the FAQ. The
Bevelle Destruction Sphere CAN'T be missed, because it's needed to get out of
the Temple and progress with the game. The Bevelle treasure that corresponds
with the statue in Baaj Temple CAN'T be missed. The treasure is the Hp Sphere
that you automatically pick up on your way out of the Temple. The chest to the
left of the exit of Bevelle Temple as a Knight's Lance for Kimahri, a weapon
with Strength +10/5/3. This has absolutely no bearing on obtaining Anima, it's
simply a normal treasure.
Thanks to the regulars at the FFX board, without them I wouldn't be writing any
stooped so low as to write this piddly excuse for a FAQ. Cheers!
