FFX - Kimarhi Spirit Lance (Macalania Butterfly Hunt Jupiter Crest/Sigil)
1A guide on how to get the ultimate (celestial) weapon Spirit Lance for Kimarhi in Final Fantasy X Remastered. To get the Jupiter Sigil you also need to do the horrendous Macalania Butterfly Hunt minigame. Worse you have to do it TWICE!
This guide assumes you have already gotten the Celestial Mirror key item. If not here's a link to a video I made on how to get it:

You'll also need to collect the Jupiter Crest and Jupiter Sigil to power the weapon up fully. The crest is an easy treasure chest collectible, but the sigil requires you to complete the extremely irritating butterfly catching mini-game in Macalania Woods - and you have to do it twice!

The butterfly catching game is awful. Basically you need to catch 7 blue butterflies in 30 seconds. If you touch any of the red ones you'll be thrown into a random battle with some fiends which chews up precious time. You have to complete the game twice - once in each of the Macalania Wood areas.
The trouble is that even though the butterflies don't move, it's really difficult to see exactly where they are on the path. Depth doesn't translate well on the screen, so there'll be plenty of times where you think you're easily going to dodge a red and end up running right into it, or running right past a blue you felt like you were lined up with. It took me a dozen or so attempts on each section to figure out and memorize where it was safe to step
I'm playing the remastered version, so some of the sigils and crests might be named differently then the original
