How do you get the celestial mirror in final fantasy x When i tried to go up the fog path someone blocked my path up at the intersection and all she says is that its a good thing the path is open

To start, head to the Calm Lands and obtain a chocobo from the stationary chocobo rider there. Ride to the south plateau near where you came in from Macalania Woods, and on the east side you should see a broken bridge and a chocobo feather on the ground. Press [x] near the chocobo feather, and your chocobo will fly to the plateau below it. Continue east to the Remiem Temple. Examine the sphere on the left side of the temple, then talk to the chocobo on the right to race the second chocobo on the left. If you make it to the center of the circular track quickly enough, you'll be rewarded with the Cloudy Mirror.

To de-fog and charge your newly acquired magic mirror, talk to the mother and son at the entrance of Macalania Woods. Find the father at the campsite, speak to him, and he'll run off to be reunited with his family. Go back to the entrance and speak with the mother and father again, and keep talking to them until they mention their missing son. This may take 3 or 4 tries. After they mention their son, head up the sparkly path to their left into the trees. Bear north at the first fork, where the son should allow you passage if you talked to his parents enough times. Show the Cloudy Mirror to the large ambrosia salad-looking plant, who'll turn it into the Celestial Mirror. If there's a woman blocking the path instead of the son, either a) you're not far enough in the game yet, or b) you didn't talk to the parents enough times. With the Celestial Mirror, you can now open chests and detonate the mandalas protecting your ultimate weapons.
