Step 1: Progress through the game
To obtain the Hermes Sandal, you must first progress through the game. Specifically, you need to reach Chapter 11. If you haven’t made it that far yet, keep playing and advancing through the story until you do.
Step 2: Farm Mission 55
Once you’ve reached Chapter 11, head to Mission 55 – “Aremis Common”. This mission can be found by speaking with Bhakti at the entrance to Oerba. You’ll need a chocobo to reach Aremis Common.
Step 2a: Preparing for Mission 55
Before attempting Mission 55, it’s important to prepare your party. Make sure your characters are at least level 4 in their primary roles and have upgraded weapons and accessories. It’s also recommended that you have a Saboteur and a Synergist in your party.
Step 2b: Defeat Enemies and Collect Items
Mission 55 involves defeating groups of tough enemies while collecting items scattered throughout Aremis Common. One of these items is the Trapezohedron, which is required to upgrade your characters’ weapons.
Step 2c: Farming for Hermes Sandals
In addition to the Trapezohedron, there’s a chance that enemies in Aremis Common will drop Hermes Sandals when defeated. Keep farming Mission 55 until you obtain enough Hermes Sandals for your party.
Step 3: Upgrade Your Accessories
Once you have obtained the Hermes Sandals, head to a save point and access the upgrade menu. Select an accessory that you want to upgrade and use the Hermes Sandals to boost its stats.
Step 3a: Choosing Which Accessory to Upgrade
It’s important to note that not all accessories can be upgraded with Hermes Sandals. Look for accessories with an empty slot labeled “Synthesized Ability”. These are the accessories that can be upgraded with Hermes Sandals.

To upgrade your accessory, simply select it from the upgrade menu and choose “Synthesize Ability”. Select the Hermes Sandals from your inventory and confirm the upgrade.
