03.) PHRASE SEARCH ENGINE
=============================================================================
=============================================================================
Q1 - What is this? Why would I even need it?
A1 - With the guide at current state it becomes difficult to find what you're

looking for. This inspired me to create this phrase search engine (PSE).
Q2 - Okay, sounds good. What am I going to find in it?
A2 - What you will find here is an alphabetical list of every item, magic,
enemy etc. etc.
Q3 - Nothing special. I can make one of my own, if I wish...
A3 - What will be so special about this alphabetical list, you ask? Let me tell
you then. Each entry shall be given a specific code number.
Q4 - How is that going to help me jump straight to what I need?
A4 - Let's say you'd need a strategy to help defeat 'Optional boss'. So you
look into this list... you look up 'Optional boss' which would appear like
this:
...
Optional Boss - XBOSS
...
Take note of code number at the end. Now press CTRL + F at same time. In the
pup-up window type in XBOSS and press Enter twice to be taken to what you're
looking for. No hassle whatsoever. Speed satisfaction is guaranteed.
Q5 - There are few phrases which mean different things...?
A5 - No problem there. Such phrases will be marked by special code in
parenthesis. Find what it is here.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------BB - Blitz tech
| C - Celestial wpn upgr. | SS - Special Sphere
KI - Key item
| WM - White magic
| I - Item
S - Status
| OS - Overdrive skill
| F - Fiend
S1 - Special command
| S2 - Skill command
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Q6 - Why are some phrases shortened to one letter only...?
A6 - By throwing a quick view in the list, you may notice that some names are
abbreviated. That's because these names are spoilers. The only way for these
entries to be included was like this.

04.) ABOUT CHARACTERS
=============================================================================
=============================================================================
----------------------------------------------------------------------------TIDUS
| AGE: 17 | JOINS: He's present from the beginning
----------------------------------------------------------------------------BACKGROUND
| Star player of the Zanarkand Abes, a famous team known
throughout Zanarkand, is heading for the play that will decide the victor.
During blitzball match, a mysterious force known as Sin destroys Zanarkand. In
the chaos that ensues after the attack Tidus is swallowed up many years into
the future... far away from Zanarkand he once knew. Torn up from everything and
everybody he unwillingly sets foot on a pilgrimage throughout Spira as one of
Yuna's guardians. During the trip he develops feelings for Yuna (but we already
knew he would, right?:)). But there's one other thing on Tidus' mind: hatred
for Jecht, his father.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------FIGHTING STYLE | His main advantage is high dexterity, therefore making him an
excellent choice for disposing of fast and agile enemies. However, he has
trouble hitting flying enemies. For being bent on speed domination Tidus
employs a variety of agility enhancing techniques, such as Haste and Hastega.
As a countermeasure he uses Slow and delay techs to disallow fast enemies to
even get a turn in. He is first character capable of fighting underwater.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------OVERDRIVE
| His overdrive is called Swordplay. Once selected, try to stop
the marker in highlighted area of the bar for additional damage. New overdrives
are learned thru repeated use of existing overdrives.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------YUNA
| AGE: 17 | JOINS: Besaid island, after leaving Besaid vil.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------BACKGROUND
| Daughter of high summoner Braska, the last summoner who was
able to defeat Sin 10 years ago. She has just recently became fully-fledged
summoner after her prayers have been anwered at Besaid temple and she was
entrusted with first aeon. Yuna has decided long ago that she will follow in
her father's footsteps and become the next summoner, who will bring the Calm to
Spira. For that to happen she must journey to many temples and pray to fayth
inside each temple in order to obtain Final Aeon, the only means of destroying
Sin.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------FIGHTING STYLE | Yuna is one of the weakest characters on the battlefield, when
it comes to taking physical damage (she makes up for lack of defence with high
starting evasion). Her magical prowess is high, however. She can aid the party
well with waste array of her white magic spells, most important being Esuna,
Holy, Auto-Life, Protect, Shell and Reflect (there's many more spells, tho').

Her other strength lays in aeons - she's the only one who can summon. Is there
a particularly strong enemy in your way that just won't go down? Call in Yuna
and let the fiend have a taste of what it feels like to be outmatched.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------OVERDRIVE
| Her overdrive is called Grand Summon. When used, the aeon
called enters the fray with full overdrive gauge. Once aeon uses the overdrive,
overdrive gauge returns to previous level.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------LULU
| AGE: 22 | JOINS: Besaid island, after leaving Besaid vil.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------BACKGROUND
| One of Yuna's guardians. She considers Yuna like a younger
sister, which needs to be protected. After Yuna becomes fully-fledged summoner,
Lulu decides that she will protect her on the journey, no matter the costs.
This is Lulu's third pilgrimage so far and since the third is usually the
best... Lulu is calm and always seems to be in control of the situation.
However, under the fierce outside appearance a gentle and compassionate heart
beats.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------FIGHTING STYLE | Much like Yuna, Lulu is also pretty weak when it comes to
taking physical damage (her starting evasion is even higher than that of Yuna).
She's fairly tough when it comes to taking heavy brunts of magic attacks. Her
main specialty is black magic, the most important being Demi, Flare, Ultima and
Death (there's many more). She is the fear of flan-type and element-type
elements, for she can dispose of those using only one of many elemental spells
she can learn.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------OVERDRIVE
| Her overdrive is called Fury. When selected, rotate the right
stick as fast as you can. New Furies are available once Lulu learns respective
spell.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------RIKKU
| AGE: 15 | JOINS: Moonflow - North bank
----------------------------------------------------------------------------BACKGROUND
| A young Al Bhed girl, equivalent of FF7's Yuffie and FF8's
Selphie, this cheerful individual will surely keep you in the good mood. There
seems to be a certain relationship between her and Yuna... what it is about,
I'll let you find out for yourself when playing the game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------FIGHTING STYLE | Another character that falls easily to physical attacks. She
makes up for it with superior starting speed. Where she does come in useful are
her special abilities, with which she can steal from enemies (stealing from
most robot-type enemies will destroy those instantly), attack enemies using
excessive gil or even bribe enemies and receive rare items in exchange. She is
second character capable of fighting underwater.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------OVERDRIVE
| Her overdrive is called Mix. By combining two items from your
inventory she can conjure up one of 64 ending results ranging from healing to
attack.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WAKKA
| AGE: 22 | JOINS: Besaid beach
----------------------------------------------------------------------------BACKGROUND
| Captain of Besaid Aurochs, an unsuccessful blitz team, who is
yearning for victory, even if just one. Wakka is easily recognizable with his
trademark hairstyle. He introduces Tidus to the rest of the gang after Tidus
washes up at the beach of Besaid. After this year's blitz tournament Wakka will

retire and devote his time to be full-time guardian. Will he really...?


----------------------------------------------------------------------------FIGHTING STYLE | Armed with a strange weapon, blitzball, he can take on flying
enemies and enemies with high evasion. Thanks for this goes to his superior
starting accuracy. Other field Wakka's good at are his skills, with which he
can put enemies to sleep, silence or darkness them. He is third and final
character capable of fighting underwater.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------OVERDRIVE
| His overdrive is called Slots. When activated, fruit machine
with three reels will spin. Depending on the symbols shown a variety of attacks
can be launched. More overdrives are available by winning blitz games.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------AURON
| AGE: 35 | JOINS: Luca, during blitz tourney
----------------------------------------------------------------------------BACKGROUND
| Former guardian of Braska, Auron helped defeat Sin ten years
ago. Now he joins forces with Yuna and other guardians to put a stop to Sin's
terror once and for all. Rather than words he lets his huge sword do the
talking. But there's something about Auron which just doesn't seem to be
right... how the heck does he know so much about Sin? This and many other
questions will be answered late in the game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------FIGHTING STYLE | A powerful melee fighter, Auron is primary choice for dealing
with tough enemies, especially those who are armored. He is also known for his
Break abilities, which cut down on enemy's attack and defence. Two downsides,
low agility and weak magic defence make him susceptible to taking many hits
(augmented by high HP).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------OVERDRIVE
| His overdrive is called Bushido. When activated, enter the
commands in given time limit to enable additional damage or effects. New
overdrives are learned by collecting Jecht spheres.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------KIMAHRI
| AGE: 25 | JOINS: S.S. Liki
----------------------------------------------------------------------------BACKGROUND
| Member of the Ronso tribe, proud race of warriors who inhabit
Gagazet mountain, Kimahri has watched over Yuna since she was small child. Like
Auron, he doesn't speak much, instead focuses only on his job as the guardian.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------FIGHTING STYLE | Another strong close combat expert, tearing thru armored
enemies like they weren't even there. Fails to hit flying and agile enemies,
though... in addition he's also somewhat slow and prone to magic damage.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------OVERDRIVE
| His overdrive is called Ronso Rage. When selected, choose one
of enemy skills and use it against the enemies themselves. New Ronso Rages are
learned by using Lancet on respective enemies.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

already said, this doesn't mean I forgot about them - IT MEANS THAT BOSS /
MONSTER IN QUESTION DOESN'T OFFER THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF INFO.
Let's examine what's not mentioned:
1. Bribe part is missing. Reason? You don't get anything for Bribing Chocobo
Eater, as it is immune to Bribe.
2. DCOUNT part is missing. Reason? If you look at STIMM part, you'll see DOO
among the crowd - boss is immune to Doom, so no need to make DCOUNT part.
3. In element section only ELEMWEAK is present, others are missing. Reason?
Chocobo Eater's only elemental affinity is fire - it's vulnerable to fire.
Other four elements needn't be mentioned, as boss takes normal damage from
those elements.

07.) WHAT'S SPHERE GRID? ---> A836
=============================================================================
=============================================================================
Q1 - What is Sphere Grid?
A1 - Sphere Grid is what I would call an advancement system of sorts. If you
haven't noticed already, there is no EXP or chrs' levels in FFX. Instead you
get to use Sphere Grid, a rather big board with lots of circles, called nodes.
These nodes are filled with all kind of stuff... black magic, white magic,
special abilities etcetera. You are required to move across this grid,
activating the nodes as you pass them in order to raise your characters.
Q2 - Raise my characters? I'm not their mother!
A2 - Bad wording.:P Anyway, by raising I mean raising chr's statistics, such as
HP and Strength. Fighting alone will bring you nowhere, as it doesn't increase
stats. You have to use Sphere Grid (SG from now on) in order to increase chr's
stats to be able to defeat enemies late in the game.
Q3 - So how do I that?
A3 - You may have noticed something called S. Level (SLV from now on). This
stands for Sphere Level. By having your chrs participate in a battle and
defeating fiends any character that made at least one action in that battle
(even if just defending for one turn) will gain AP (Ability points). Once you
gain enough AP for certain chr's SLV to increase by say one level, that
character can now move ahead or back on SG. By ahead I mean moving over SG on
nodes character hasn't yet activated or been to, and by back I mean moving on
nodes character has already activated or been to.
Q4 - My SLV increased by five levels. Now what do I do?
A4 - You have two options. Most common decision is to move forward, in which
case the cost will be 1 SLV per one new node. In case you decide to move back,
cost is 1 SLV for up to four old nodes. So in your case you'd be able to move 5
nodes forward, 20 nodes back or 12 nodes back, then 2 nodes forward. Remember,
once you move on SG, that's it! SLV used for the process are lost for good.
Q5 - I see a node that has something in it. What is that for?
A5 - There's 16 different kinds of nodes you're able to find on SG.

Q6 - Activate nodes? How do I do that?


A6 - There's two requirements in order for a chr to activate a node. First, chr
must be on or adjacent to the node you want to activate and second, you'll need
spheres. Lots of them. All of such spheres and what they do is listed below:
- POWER SPHERE
- activates Strength, Defence and HP nodes
- MANA SPHERE
- activates Magic, Magic Defence and MP nodes
- SPEED SPHERE
- activates Agility, Accuracy and Evasion nodes
- ABILITY SPHERE - activates Skill, Special, Wht Magic and Blk Magic nodes
- FORTUNE SPHERE - activates Luck nodes
- ATTRIBUTE SPHERE - activates attribute node already activated by ally
- SPECIAL SPHERE - activates Special node already activated by ally
- SKILL SPHERE
- activates Skill node already activated by ally
- WHT MAGIC SPHERE - activates White Magic node already activated by ally
- BLK MAGIC SPHERE - activates Black Magic node already activated by ally
- MASTER SPHERE
- activates any node
- LV.1 KEY SPHERE - removes Lv.1 Lock
- LV.2 KEY SPHERE - removes Lv.2 Lock
- LV.3 KEY SPHERE - removes Lv.3 Lock
- LV.4 KEY SPHERE - removes Lv.4 Lock
- HP SPHERE
- turns empty node into HP+300 node
- MP SPHERE
- turns empty node into MP+40 node
- STRENGTH SPHERE - turns empty node into Str+4 node
- DEFENCE SPHERE - turns empty node into Def+4 node
- MAGIC SPHERE
- turns empty node into Mag+4 node
- MAGIC DEF SPHERE - turns empty node into Mdef+4 node
- AGILITY SPHERE - turns empty node into Agi+4 node
- EVASION SPHERE - turns empty node into Eva+4 node
- ACCURACY SPHERE - turns empty node into Acc+4 node
- LUCK SPHERE
- turns empty node into Luck+4 node
- CLEAR SPHERE
- removes nodes from SG**
- RETURN SPHERE
- returns to any previously activated node by current chr
- FRIEND SPHERE
- teleports to any ally's location
- TELEPORT SPHERE - teleports to any activated node
- WARP SPHERE
- teleports to any node
Note: ** Clear Spheres cannot erase Ability, White Magic, Black Magic, Skill
and lock nodes.
Q7 - OK, I get activation and that... btw, what are those small spots I see
around every node on SG?
A7 - These are used to quickly tell which chr has already activated which node.
There are 7 spots, differently colored and representing one of each of playable
chrs. Once certain chr has activated a certain node, that chr's spot around
activated node will light up. This is a useful feature for quick reference
without having to switch thru all chrs to see which chr has activated which
node. Also, when chr is selected, you will see a colored line after or before
that chr. Use this to see what path that chr has already walked on in order to
avoid wasting SLV for trips over paths you've already been to.
- LIGHT BLUE color belongs to Tidus
- WHITE color belongs to Yuna

PURPLE color belongs to Lulu


GREEN color belongs to Rikku
RED color belongs to Auron
DARK BLUE color belongs to Kimahri
YELLOW color belongs to Wakka

Q8 - I need advice on choosing the SG I would like to use during the game.
A8 - If FFX is your very first FF or you're playing it for the first time, I
highly suggest you choose Standard Sphere Grid. However, if you have already
finished the game once, or are feeling daring enough to undertake the challenge
of Expert Sphere Grid, be my guest. Expertize as you see fit. What is very good
about Expert SG is that all chrs start very close, therefore if you want to
have a party consisting of black mages only, this isn't a problem. The bad side
is that you need to plan ahead on what path you'd like to take.
Q9 - What are all those empty nodes for? I doubt they're there just for an eyecandy...
A9 - *eats a candy* Nope. They're to be used late in the game, when you have
access to Monster Arena. By defeating monsters there you can gain possession of
special spheres that can be used to fill empty nodes. For example, by defeating
Ironclad you'll get HP Sphere, which you can use anywhere on SG (as long as
it's used on an empty node) in order to raise your HP by 300. The same applies
for all other 9 statistics.
Q10 - There's a lot of crappy +1 nodes on SG. And all spheres I use on empty
nodes morph into +4 nodes, so I wanna get rid of all +3 and lesser nodes.
A10 - Your help awaits in Monster Arena again. By unlocking Ultima Buster in
Monster Arena you'll be able to buy Clear Spheres, which is used to remove any
node (except Ability nodes) from SG permanently. Beware - if you remove say
Str+3 node which has been activated by Lulu and Yuna, Str bonus that erased
node carried is also 'lost' for Yuna and Lulu, ie their Str stat will drop by 3
when Str+3 node is erased.
Q11 - What are new abilities added in FFX PAL version?
A11 - Indeed we're lucky bastards...
- PILFER GIL (steal gil from enemies)
- NAB GIL (steal gil from enemies and deal damage at same time)
- FULL BREAK (Power, Armor, Magic and Mental Break on one enemy)
- QUICK POCKETS (use items quickly with reduced recovery time)
- EXTRACT POWER (target fiend drops Power Spheres)
- EXTRACT MANA (target fiend drops Mana Spheres)
- EXTRACT SPEED (target fiend drops Speed Spheres)
- EXTRACT ABILITY (target fiend drops Ability Spheres)
Q12 - Any other tips you can give me?
A12 - Let's see... Rather then collecting lots of SLV, use them to teach your
characters new abilities or to increase their attributes. Finally, save your
game when you enter SG. Thus, if you make a mistake, you can always reload.

08.) STANDARD SPHERE GRID ---> A849
=============================================================================
=============================================================================
In here you'll find info on how many Sphere Levels a certain character must
reach in order to learn all abilities on his/her path before reaching the end
of its path in case you chose Standard Sphere Grid (I'll make few exceptions of

course).
Don't understand what I mean? Don't worry, you'll soon get what I mean when you
throw a look a bit below.
Notes:
--> Some abilities require a certain character to stray a bit off from his or
her path (for example, Death). I'll include them as well.
--> Info on how many Sp. L. you need to gain is based on Standard Sphere Grid
--> It'll look like this example:
Name of ability - Sphere Levels needed
--> After you reach last ability on character's path, I'll suggest on what to
do next, for example, send Tidus down Auron's path or something similar
----------------------------------------------------------------------------I - TIDUS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Cheer - 2
| Flee - 5
| Extract Speed - 11

| Provoke - 22
| Delay Attack - 27
Slow - 40
| Slowga - 53
| Delay Buster - 68
Hastega - 78
| Quick Hit - 105
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------WHERE TO NEXT?: Tidus finishes his stroll very close to first third of Yuna's
path - which is the way I recommend to go. First wait a bit until you get Lv.3
Key Sp. to remove the annoying lock. Then move in to learn Shell, Protect and
Cura. Afterwards proceed in Yuna's direction...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------II - AURON
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Power Break - learned
| Extract Power - 7
| Guard - 10
Magic Break - 21
| Threaten - 40
| Armor Break - 48
Mental Break - 53
| Sentinel - 87
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------WHERE TO NEXT?: Auron finishes close to Tidus' path. While Auron has HP and
Str, he lacks Agi and Eva, so I suggest going after Tidus. There's a small
matter removing Lv.2 Lock first tho'. After it's gone, learn Delay Attack and
Provoke, then proceed after Tidus' path.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------III - WAKKA
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Dark Attack - learned
| Silence Attack - 7
| Extract Ability - 12
Aim - 20
| Sleep Attack - 27
| Dark Buster - 41
Drain - 44
| Silence Buster - 56
| Sleep Buster - 68
Osmose - 77
| Triple Foul - 105
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------WHERE TO NEXT?: Wakka's got the Acc, but not HP and sufficient Str. So Auron's
is the way to go. Remove Lv.3 Lock first, then have Wakka learn Armor Break,
after which go after Auron's path.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------IV - KIMAHRI
Oh boy, his is a little bit complicated. Namely, Kimahri's path does contain
few abilities, but once you learn them all, you'll have to decide what you want
Kimahri to be. White Mage, Black Mage, choice is yours...
However, I'd suggest sending him down Rikku's path, as having two characters
being able to steal always pays off. You may see a problem, tho'. Two Lv.1
Locks. Don't worry, by the time we send Kimahri on Rikku's path, you'll already
have a bunch of Lv.1 Key Spheres.
From Kimahri's position send him right first. My calculations are done based on

that decision.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Lancet - learned
| Scan - 6
| Extract Mana - 7
Jinx - 8*
| At 45 Sp.L...**
| Steal - 52
Use - 53***
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------* - now send him past Lancet ability up and travel all over these stat nodes to
improve Kimahri's stats
** - use your first Lv.1 Key Sp. to remove first lock and at 49 Sp.L. use your
second Lv.1 Key Sp. to remove second lock - you're now on Rikku's path
*** - Here use Lv.2 Key Sp. to remove the lock and accumulate additional 3
Sp.L. to learn Dispel, then return on the path Rikku took
----------------------------------------------------------------------------V - LULU
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Fire - learned
| Water - learned

Blizzard - learned

Death - 75
| Waterga - 78
| Firaga - 79
Thundaga - 79
| Blizzaga - 79
| Flare - 104
----------------------------------------------------------------------------WHERE TO NEXT?: Lulu's got the Eva and Mag, but not HP or Agi, so I'd actually
go for three choices. If you want to make her even more deadly, go after Yuna's
path (in this case use one of Teleport Spheres). If you want to make her fare
longer in battle, go after Auron's path (use Teleport Sphere as well). For Agi
go down Rikku's path (use Teleport Sphere).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------VI - RIKKU
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Use - learned
| Steal - learned
| Luck - 11
Spare Change - 17
| Mug - 41
| Bribe - 71
----------------------------------------------------------------------------WHERE TO NEXT?: Tough call. Personally I'd make her HP bigger, so Auron's path
would be the way to go.
I've received an excellent tip from GamerZombie666 regarding Rikku. Once you
regain her back when crossing a large body of water on a certain animal, you'll
see that she starts very close to Reflect on the standard SG - there's only a
matter of Lv.2 Lock in the way. First Lv.2 Key Sp. you can obtain after getting
Rikku permanently is after beating Spherimorph boss in Macalania woods. So save
Rikku's SLVL until after beating boss mentioned, then use her SLVL to move over
SG toward Reflect node, use newly gained LV.2 Key Sp. to remove Lv.2 Lock and
Reflect is yours. It will prove mightily useful for later battles.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------VII - YUNA
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Cure - learned
| Esuna - learned
| NulBlaze - 2
NulShock - 3
| NulFrost - 4
| NulTide - 5
Life - 14
| Pray - 19

| Reflect - 59
Dispel - 64
| At 65th Sp.L...*
| Steal - 68
Curaga - 82
| Regen - 89
| Holy - 106
----------------------------------------------------------------------------* have Yuna use Lv.2 Key Sp. to remove Lv.2 Lock - gain two more Sp.L. to learn
Use
WHERE TO NEXT?: If you keep going, you can get Full-Life for 12 SLVL ahead.
Once you get hold of some of spheres that teleport you across the grid, return

to start of Yuna's section (armed with LV.4 Key Sp. as well) and get Auto-Life.
Same call as with Lulu, so take a look below Lulu's section - where Lulu's
mentioned, substitute her name with Yuna's and you've got where you want to go.

=============================================================================
09.) EXPERT SPHERE GRID ---> A838
=============================================================================
=============================================================================
This is an interesting section, especially for those who own PAL version. When
I first purchased FFX, I chose Expert grid, only to find myself later in the
game way underpowered since I didn't know how to utilize that grid. Instead of
gaining insane amounts of AP to backtrack, I quit and started new game, this
time with usual Sphere Grid. I finished the game with no problems that way
(well, if I don't count times I died in boss fights).
Q1 A1 from
FFX:

What is Expert Sphere Grid (ESG)?


Expert Sphere Grid (ESG) is additional Sphere Grid (SG) you can choose
when starting a new game. ESG is only available in FFX: PAL version and
International. It's not in the NTSC version of FFX.

Q2 - What are the differences between regular SG and ESG?


A2 - First big difference is starting point of all characters. All chrs, sans
Rikku start very close together. If you take a look at expert grid in your
game, you will see that Lv.1 Lock is all that separates Rikku from the rest of
the party (or vice versa, if you wish looking at it that way). According to my
notes, first Lv.1 Key Sphere is obtained at start of Mi'ihen highroad - so only
after that event you'll be able to remove the first (this one, if you like)
Lv.1 Lock.
Second difference is total amount of nodes available on ESG. ESG has 55 nodes
less than ordinary SG.
Third difference is 8 more abilities were added to PAL version. These abilities
are also on ordinary SG, but it feels right to mention them again:
- PILFER GIL (steal gil from enemies)
- NAB GIL (steal gil from enemies and deal damage at same time)
- FULL BREAK (Power, Armor, Magic and Mental Break on one enemy)
- QUICK POCKETS (use items quickly with reduced recovery time)
- EXTRACT POWER (target fiend drops Power Spheres)
- EXTRACT MANA (target fiend drops Mana Spheres)
- EXTRACT SPEED (target fiend drops Speed Spheres)
- EXTRACT ABILITY (target fiend drops Ability Spheres)
Q3 - Any recommendations on how to start with my characters when they join my
party (when using ESG)?
Note: For reference use the picture at following URL:
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/chr_start.jpg
A3 - I'd suggest the following course of action when playing ESG:
--> Tidus, Wakka, Lulu and Yuna learn Lancet - that way you'll be supplied with
endless stream of HP and MP, both of which you'll be able to get from random
enemies you'll encounter along the way
--> if you can spare some time, also have Kimahri and Tidus learn Dark Attack
--> then have Tidus, Wakka, Lulu and Kimahri learn Cure and Esuna
--> around now I'll assume you're able to fight Lord Ochu - kill him (make sure
you Overkill him) in order to receive 2x HP Sphere (if you get MP Spheres,
reset and kill him again) - use those two HP Spheres on two empty nodes near
Esuna and you'll gain quick 600 HP boost for all characters
--> after that is learned, have Yuna and Kimahri follow the path that leads to

Lulu's Thunder, Fire, Blizzard and Water spells - when you reach them,
naturally have them learn those spells
--> now you have a party of characters, all of which are able to cure status
ailments (no longer you have to rely on Yuna only), all of which are able to
restore lost HP (no longer you have to rely on Yuna only), all of which are
able to restore HP and MP at same time while weakening the monsters with help
of Lancet ability (no longer you have to rely on Save Points and Ethers, which
are hard to find) and three formidable black mages (no longer you need to rely
on Lulu only)
--> after this preparations are accomplished, distribute the characters back to
the way they used to be (you might want to have one more chr go up Tidus' path
until both Tidus and that other chr learn Haste)
This section remains as it is. I can't think of any reasonable way for the
characters to go or recommend to go. There is always a chance that a certain
skill is better in certain situation etc. I just can't. Apart from starting
tips I provided a bit up I leave you on your own path of choosing what's the
best for you.

10.) ABOUT MENUS
=============================================================================
=============================================================================
In this part I'll do my best to thoroughly explain each menu, submenu,
mastermenu and god knows what menus are there left. I'll decipher in-battle
menus first, then those that appear once a battle is over, then those you come
by when shopping or selling stuff, and finally the mastermind behind them all famous Bermuda Triangle, which appears once you press Triangle button whenever
on a field screen. *Shoots down UFO*. Better start before the invasion
begins...
*****************************************************************************
1A - BATTLE MENUS - MAIN COMMAND WINDOW
*****************************************************************************
This is the command menu you'll be using the most when in battle. It is located
in lower left of battle screen. It houses seven different commands you can
choose from. Not all are available from the start of game. But once you learn a
specific ability that falls into one of the command categories, that command
will become selectable. Each command, when chosen, will as next step require
you to select a target, or lead you to a submenu where even more options await
you. Have no fear, the explanations are here.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------ATTACK
| attack an enemy with equipped weapon
Very simple. After you select Attack command, you'll be prompted to select one
of the targets on the battlefield. By default marker (which will be either a
red triangle [meaning you're targeting a fiend] or green triangle [meaning
you're targeting one of the party members]) will point to one of the fiends on
the battlefield. Choose carefully who you want to attack. If help window is
enabled (you'll know so by the additional line at top of the screen), it'll
show the name of the target you're attempting to attack. Once the target is
selected, the chr performing the action will try to physically attack the
target. What may happen is explained below.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------SUMMON
| summon an aeon
This command is exclusive to Yuna, for she's the only one who can summon.

Select this command to be taken to a submenu. Choose one of the available


aeons, press X and aeon is summoned to be used in battle. There are occasions
when aeons can't be summoned, or certain aeons are unavailable.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------SKILL
| use Skills
Here are stored abilities, which help you alter the flow of battle to your
advantage. If you select this command, you'll be taken to another submenu. In
here you can find up to 22 additional commands, ie Skills which you can choose
from to be used either on your enemies or your comrades. Each Skill when
selected, will prompt you to select a target. Do so, confirm with X and ability
will be executed. All Skills require certain amount of MP. If that amount of MP
is not available, then you won't be able to use that skill. What may happen is
explained below.

certain stats or putting enemies into unfavourable positions. There are 22
Specials, some of which will need further detailed explanations, which will
issue immediately. What distinguishes Specials from Skills is, that Specials
can be used either on enemies, or allies. No Special ability can target both.

available if chr in question has an Overdrive available or is able to choose a
trigger command. It houses different amount of commands you can choose from,

----------------------------------------------------------------------------*****************************************************************************
1D - BATTLE MENUS - SENSOR WINDOW
*****************************************************************************
This helpful guy appears in upper left of battle screen in one of three cases:
someone in battle party has weapon with Sensor ability equipped, the fiend
targeted has been Scanned beforehand or aeon is summoned (aeons have innate
sensor ability). There are six lines of info that are helpful to your planning
of battle strategy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------HP
This shows two numbers. First one is fiend's current HP, and the other is
fiend's MAX HP. By depleting first one to zero fiend is defeated.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------x1,5 SYMBOL, FOLLOWED BY FOUR CIRCLES*
This shows the elements fiend is weak against. Elements have following colors:
fire - red, lightning - yellow, water - blue, ice - white. So if you'd find a
red-filled circle in this line, this would mean that fiend is weak to fire

attacks and you should proceed using those attacks.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ SYMBOL, FOLLOWED BY FOUR CIRCLES*
This shows the elements fiend absorbs in shape of HP. You should avoid using
element attacks whose symbols appear in this line.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ SYMBOL, FOLLOWED BY FOUR CIRCLES*
This shows the elements fiend takes no damage from. While not beneficial to
anyone, avoid using element attacks whose symbols appear in this line.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------1/2 SYMBOL, FOLLOWED BY FOUR CIRCLES*
This shows the element fiend is strong against, meaning it takes only half
damage from those element attacks. With only half as useful, also avoid using
element attacks whose symbols appear in this line.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------BLUE WINDOW WITH STATUS AFFLICTIONS
This window shows names of all statuses fiend is currently afflicted with. If
more than one status is afflicted, it switches between them in one second
intervals.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------SENSOR HELP WINDOW
This window appears on top of screen and shows two types of info: name of the
fiend, and a bit to the right a quick tip about fiend itself (may contain info
on fiend's attacks, fiend's weaknesses, or what to look out for...).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------* - If certain element's color doesn't appear in any line, fiend takes normal
damage from that element. However, there is hidden fifth element, holy element
(only manifested thru Holy white magic or Blessed Gem). Fiends that resist,
absorb, nullify or are weak to holy element also exist. You can learn of these
elemental affinities only thru trial end error.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------*****************************************************************************
1E - BATTLE MENUS - SCAN WINDOW
*****************************************************************************
Can't be missed. Cast Scan at any target in battle screen to have scan screen
appear with following data, going from left to right, top to bottom...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------NAME
Simple. Name of target you scanned.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------HP
This shows two numbers. First one is target's current HP, and the other is
target's MAX HP. By depleting first one to zero fiend is defeated/chr KO-ed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STR / MAG
Shows physical strength and magic power of the target.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------x1,5 SYMBOL, FOLLOWED BY FOUR CIRCLES*
This shows the elements target is weak against. Elements have following colors:
fire - red, lightning - yellow, water - blue, ice - white. So if you'd find a
red-filled circle in this line, this would mean that target is weak to fire
attacks and you should proceed using those attacks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ SYMBOL, FOLLOWED BY FOUR CIRCLES*
This shows the elements target absorbs in shape of HP. You should avoid using
element attacks whose symbols appear in this line.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ SYMBOL, FOLLOWED BY FOUR CIRCLES*

This shows the elements target takes no damage from. While not beneficial to
anyone, avoid using element attacks whose symbols appear in this line.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------1/2 SYMBOL, FOLLOWED BY FOUR CIRCLES*
This shows the elements target is strong against, meaning it takes only half
damage from those element attacks. With only half as useful, also avoid using
element attacks whose symbols appear in this line.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------IMMUNITIES
Shows all possible statuses target is immune to, meaning it can't be afflicted
with them no way whatsoever, even if hell freezes over... but as there have
always been exceptions, so are here.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------SCAN INFORMATION
Just a bit of information about target. Try scanning your party members!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------* - If certain element's color doesn't appear in any line, target takes normal
damage from that element. However, there is hidden fifth element, holy element.
Fiends that resist, absorb, nullify or are weak to holy element also exist. You
can learn of these elemental affinities only thru thru trial end error.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------*****************************************************************************
1F - BATTLE MENUS - CTB WINDOW
*****************************************************************************
Always visible in top right corner of battle screen, it is your pointer to when
will which target's turn come. Turns displayed in this window are as if each
target would choose 'Attack' command. But alas this is only *if*. Nearly all
commands will alter CTB order, with Overdrives having the biggest recharge
time, and Quick Pockets having the quickest recharge time. There are abilities
available that can speed up your party's turns (Haste), slow down enemy's
(Slow), or delay enemy's (Delay Attack). Careful planning of what to use is
important, so that you don't find yourself open to multiple repeated enemy
attacks.
*****************************************************************************
1G - BATTLE MENUS - SWITCH WINDOW
*****************************************************************************
Available by pressing L1 button while in any of three of following menus: Main
command screen, sub command screen or special command screen. You also must
have more than three chrs available. This screen allows you to switch members
freely in battle, suiting your needs for enemy eradication. It will show you
list of available party members that can be switched in for a chr you currently
think is not useful. Select one of other chrs and press X. Chr that is not
needed will exit the screen and chr you selected will join the battle. Note
that no turns are lost during the switch, so you can switch members as many
times as you want. You cannot switch members that are KO-ed, were
petrified/shattered, or have escaped from battle.
*****************************************************************************
1H - BATTLE MENUS - CHARACTER STATUS WINDOW
*****************************************************************************
Cosily situated in lower right of battle screen, it shows info for your
frontline party, ie the one currently battling. It shows following info:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------NAME
Name of character.

target that chr with an item or magic that restores HP. If this number drops to
0, chr is KO-ed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------MP
Amount of current MP. If you'd like to find out what is the MAX MP for chr,
target that chr with an item that restores MP. If this number drops to 0, chr
is unable to use magic, and skills/specials that require MP.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------OVERDRIVE GAUGE
Located underneath HP and MP numbers for each chr, this gauge fills each time a
certain condition is met (for these conditions check out About Overdrive modes
section). Once the gauge is full, chr's Overdrive becomes available.

course. Once you're satisfied with wares, select Done or continually press
Circle to be taken to Field screen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------*****************************************************************************
3 - TRIANGLE BUTTON MENU - GENERAL INFO
*****************************************************************************
Access the menu by pressing Triangle button anytime when on Field screen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------In top row help line is displayed, showing information on what does selected
part of Triangle menu do
----------------------------------------------------------------------------In central left part party members' data is displayed, containing info on chr's
name, current / MAX HP, current / MAX MP and current Sphere level
----------------------------------------------------------------------------In central right part eleven headings are displayed (they're explained in
deeper depths a bit below)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------In lower left corner time you've played FFX so far, amount of Gil and your
current location are displayed
----------------------------------------------------------------------------*****************************************************************************
3A - TRIANGLE BUTTON MENU - SPHERE GRID HEADING
*****************************************************************************
Check out Sphere Grid section for all aspects of SG.
*****************************************************************************
3B - TRIANGLE BUTTON MENU - ITEM HEADING
*****************************************************************************
You'll spend quite a bit of time with your best friends, the items. What
follows is explanation of Item screen...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- as usual, the top of the screen is reserved for help line that tells you what
a selected item does when used
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- below is a line with four commands:
USE:
Let's you use items in your inventory. Note that only a fraction
of items is usable, ie those that restore HP and MP - items that
cannot be used are greyed out. To use say Potion, place the cursor
on it and press X button. A small window containing all currently
available chrs will appear, for each showing current HP and MP.
Select chr you want to use Potion on and press X to complete the
healing. Reapply as necessary, and press Circle to exit this

submenu.
Let's you sort out items in your inventory, either Auto or Manual.
By selecting Auto items will be arranged automatically, and by
selecting Manual you're in the control. Place the cursor at an
item you wish to put somewhere else and press X. Blinking cursor
will appear near first selected item. What you do now is position
another cursor at the second item. When X is pressed again, these
two items will switch places.
Note: The order in which items are arranged also affects order of
items when accessed in battles.
EQUIPMENT: Let's you view the equipment you've acquired so far and, similar
to items, enable you to sort them manually or automatically. When
Auto is selected, equipment is sorted in 'chr fashion', ie first
weapons and then armors for a certain chr. For Manual place the
cursor at an eq. piece you wish to put somewhere else and press X.
Blinking cursor will appear near first selected eq. piece. What
you do now is position another cursor at the second eq. piece.
When X is pressed again, these two eq. pieces will switch places.
KEY ITEMS: Simple enough. Phew. In this submenu all you can do is view key
items you've acquired so far
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- and lastly, most of the rest of the screen is reserved for items you
currently possess; first a name of the item, then in the black circle amount of
that particular item
----------------------------------------------------------------------------SORT:

*****************************************************************************
3C - TRIANGLE BUTTON MENU - ABILITY HEADING
*****************************************************************************
Yippee. Another easy one. Once you select this heading, select one of the chrs
whose abilities you want to see. Once done, a list of abilities chr has learned
so far is displayed. As usual, top line is helpful information on what the
ability does. While here, you can also use Cure, Cura and Curaga to heal chrs
in need of HP - process is much the same as when selecting an item you wish to
use (but you do need a sufficient MP). That's all.
*****************************************************************************
3D - TRIANGLE BUTTON MENU - OVERDRIVE HEADING
*****************************************************************************
Pick this, then select a chr you wish to view overdrive info for. Screen is
outlined like this...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- top of the screen is reserved for help line telling what a selected overdrive
or ov. mode does
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- below is line with two commands:
VIEW:
Let's you view all of chr's overdrives he/she has acquired so far.
SET MODE: In here you can view all of chr's ov. modes he/she learned so far.
Move around available modes with directional buttons and press X on
selected mode to have chr switch to that ov. mode. For example,
Lulu is using Stoic mode, but you'd like her to switch to Victor.
So in Set Mode screen seek out Victor entry, press X when mode is
selected and voila! Lulu's ov. gauge now fills according to Victor.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- then chr's info with name, HP, MP and SLVL
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- then name of chr's Overdrive, ov. gauge (shows how full it currently is) and
name of ov. mode currently set by that chr

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- lastly list of all available overdrives (move around with directionals)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------*****************************************************************************
3E - TRIANGLE BUTTON MENU - EQUIP HEADING
*****************************************************************************
Use this to properly outfit the characters so that they can win easily. First
the explanation of Equip screen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- top line is help line
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- below is chr's line with name, HP, MP and SLVL
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- then chr's picture, ov. gauge and ov. mode currently in use by that chr
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- then currently equipped weapon and armor (note that you cannot de-equip a
weapon, but you can de-equip an armor)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- bottom left of the screen is where all pieces of equipment for selected chr
will appear
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- bottom right of the screen lists auto-abilities of currently selected weapon
or armor
----------------------------------------------------------------------------First choice to be done is to choose what you want to change, weapon or armor.
Let's say you'd like to change Lulu's armor. Move the cursor down and press X.
Cursor will move to bottom left of the screen, where all available armors for
Lulu will appear. Move between them with Up/Down directions. You will see a
small purple triangle by the name of one of the armors - use this to identify
the armor Lulu is currently equipped with. Use bottom right of the screen to
view auto-abilities of armors as you browse thru them. Once you know which
armor you want to equip, press X to complete the change (note that when
equipping armor whose abilities might cause MAX HP and/or MP to be reduced,
you'll be asked to confirm the change).
Same procedure is used when equipping weapons. That's it for this section.
*****************************************************************************
3F - TRIANGLE BUTTON MENU - STATUS HEADING
*****************************************************************************
Once picked, select chr whose status you'd like to see. There are six screens
you can browse thru, each of them explained below.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------1ST SCREEN CONTAINS
- chr's name, HP, MP and SLVL
- chr's pic, how full ov. gauge is, ov. mode selected, and current equipment
- finally listed are chr's statistics
----------------------------------------------------------------------------2NS SCREEN CONTAINS
- let's you view auto-abilities of currently equipped weapon and armor
----------------------------------------------------------------------------3RD SCREEN CONTAINS
- let's you view skills selected chr has learned so far
----------------------------------------------------------------------------4TH SCREEN CONTAINS
- let's you view specials selected chr has learned so far
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

5TH SCREEN CONTAINS


- let's you view white magic selected chr has learned so far
----------------------------------------------------------------------------6TH SCREEN CONTAINS
- let's you view black magic selected chr has learned so far
----------------------------------------------------------------------------*****************************************************************************
3G - TRIANGLE BUTTON MENU - AEONS HEADING
*****************************************************************************
This one is huge and a pain to do. Explanation follows...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- top line is help line, as usual by now
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- then command line with three choices: Status, Abilities and Attributes (note
that only Status is available from the start, you have to earn Abilities and
Attributes). Look for 1* mark a little below to find thorough explanation for
these three commands.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- most of right side of the screen is reserved for aeons you've acquired so
far, showing their name and HP/MP
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- by placing a cursor over one of the names small picture of selected aeon will
appear on the left
----------------------------------------------------------------------------1* - Hey! At this place I will teach you how to utilize Status, Abilities and
Attributes commands, which are selectable in Aeons heading.
--> STATUS
Shows you status of a selected aeon. Aeon's has 5 screens, with only the first
being a little different, and the rest being exactly the same as by chr's.
Aeon's first status screen looks like this:
- help line at top, with command line below it
- then aeon's name, HP, MP and how full ov. gauge is
- then aeon's pic, name of special attack and name of overdrive
- finally aeon's stats
By pressing X up to four times you can view skills, specials, white and black
magic selected aeon has learned so far. That's it for Status part.
--> ABILITIES
Use this to teach your aeons new abilities, like Full Break and Ultima. Once
Abilities command is selected, select an aeon you wish to bring by something
new (some aeons can't be taught new abilities). Another rather complicated
submenu will appear with following entries...
- help line at top, with 3-commands line below it
- aeon's name, HP/MP and ov. gauge
- in lower left a list of abilities available for learning is displayed
- in middle right item cost for selected ability to be taught is displayed
- and finally, by pressing Triangle you can scroll thru abilities aeon has
already learned so far
There's something I have to warn you about. Here's the example.
Dark Attack is first ability that is listed in 'Ability to learn' menu. But in
order to learn it, you need 6 Smoke Bombs. Which brings me to my 'warning':
Dark Attack will appear as available ability to be learned only after you've
acquired some Smoke Bombs. If you have no Smoke Bombs in your inventory, Dark
Attack ability will not be shown.
Item cost entry looks like this: first you'll see name of the item you need for
selected ability to be learned, followed by two black circles. In first total
amount of item currently in your inventory is shown, and in second amount of
item that will be left after learning is done. Subtract second number from

first to get the amount of items needed for ability to be learned.


So how do you learn an ability? Step by step guide:
1. Select Abilities in 3-commands line.
2. Select an aeon to be taken into protective custody of Dr. Tidus (Shiva).
3. Scroll Up/Down on the list of abilities available (use help line for info on
what the ability does). Abilities your aeon already knows or you don't have
enough items for will be greyed out (also, a warning window will pop up telling
you what is the reason that the ability can't be learned).
4. Let's say you'd like to teach Shiva Dark Attack. Press X (check in Item Cost
section to see how many items will be spent) and confirmation window will pop
up asking to confirm the process. Move cursor to yes and Shiva has learned Dark
Attack. Repeat as needed for other aeons/abilities and you've mastered the art
of disguise... erm, I mean teaching.
--> ATTRIBUTES
Use this to raise aeons' stats, like HP and MP. Once Attributes command is
selected, select an aeon you wish to improve. Another rather complicated
submenu will appear with following entries...
- help line at top, with 3-commands line below it
- aeon's name, HP/MP and ov. gauge
- in lower left a list of stats will appear (10 stats can be increased)
- in middle right item cost for selected stat to be raised is displayed
Item cost entry looks like this: first you'll see name of the item you need for
selected stat to be raised, followed by two black circles. In first total
amount of item currently in your inventory is shown, and in second amount of
item that will be left after raising is done. Subtract second number from first
to get the amount of items needed for a stat to be raised. HP is raised in
increments of 100, MP in increments of 10, and the rest of the staff will be
satisfied by 1 point increment.
So how do you raise a stat? Step by step guide:
1. Select Attributes in 3-commands line.
2. Select an aeon to be taken into learning custody of Dr. Tidus (Shiva).
3. Scroll Up/Down on the list of stats. Stats you don't have enough items for
or if aeon has already reached max value for that stat (HP 99999, MP 9999, the
rest 255) will be greyed out (also, a warning window will pop up telling you
what is the reason that the stat can't be increased).
4. Let's say you'd like to increase Shiva's HP. Press X (check in Item Cost
section to see how many items will be spent) and confirmation window will pop
up asking to confirm the process. Move cursor to yes and Shiva/s HP has
increased by 100. Repeat as needed for other aeons/stats and you've mastered
the art of raising stats.
*****************************************************************************
3H - TRIANGLE BUTTON MENU - FORMATION HEADING
*****************************************************************************
This option allows you to switch between members who will appear in frontline
party when the battle begins. Pick chr you'd like to switch out and press X for
a blinking cursor to appear. Then search out chr you'd like to switch in and
press X again to complete the switch process. That's it!
Note: No character enjoys and benefits from occupying first, second or third
position.
*****************************************************************************
3I - TRIANGLE BUTTON MENU - CUSTOMIZE HEADING
*****************************************************************************
Okay, last big bastard and then I'm outta here. First an overview of how
Customize screen looks like...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- who wants to make a really wild guess what's at the top?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- in next line chr's name will appear, HP, MP and SLVL
Note: Name that appears depends on piece of equipment you're having selected
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- in lower left list of all pieces of equipment you currently have in your
possession will be shown (small purple triangle denotes that a certain piece of
equipment is equipped by a certain character)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- once you place the pointer at one piece of equipment, take a look at lower
right of the screen to learn what kind of abilities have been melted into it
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Let's make an example of putting Curseproof on Lulu's Tetra Bangle in this
following step-by-step guide.
1. Pick Customize heading.
2. Find Tetra Bangle and select it.
3. You'll be taken to another submenu with a handful of available armor autoabilities, found in leftmost part of the screen. As you scroll thru abilities,
middle right of the screen will show name and amount of items needed for
specific ability to be added. Lower right shows name of selected equipment
(Tetra Bangle in this case) and names of abilities that may have already been
added, as well as any remaining empty slots (in this case no abilities have
been added yet, and four empty slots are available).
4. Find Curseproof. Take a look at Item Cost window. As you see, you'll need
Tetra Elemental item for this ability. How much? This is what numbers in two
black circles below will tell you. Subtract second number from first and you
get amount of items needed (if second circle has a minus inside, that means you
don't have enough items available).
5. Select Curseproof and confirmation window will pop up asking you to complete
the process. Do so by selecting yes and process is complete (note that in most
cases adding an ability to piece of equipment might change its name - in this
case Tetra Bangle changes to Medical Bangle).
6. Exact same procedure applies for weapon upgrading.
7. Here are some exceptions you need to be aware of:
- you can't upgrade certain weapons at all
- you can't upgrade a weapon with a certain ability if you don't have enough
items to add that ability, if superior ability is already present (you can't
add Darkward if armor already has Darkproof), if ability is already present on
a piece of equipment or if there are no free slots left
- for Curseproof you need Tetra Elementals... but as long as you don't have any
Tetra Elementals in your stock, Curseproof ability will not be displayed; once
you lay your hands on few Tetra Elementals, Curseproof ability will show up for
you to choose
With this I hand over the goods you need to know about successfully upgrading
your equipment.

*****************************************************************************
This is a help menu of a help menu, heh. Enter this section to be taken to
detailed explanations of controls, basic battle terms and explanations of
Overdrives, Overdrive Modes, auto-abilities and command abilities.

=============================================================================
=============================================================================
11.) ABOUT BATTLES
=============================================================================
=============================================================================
*****************************************************************************
PART 1 - BATTLE PREPARATIONS
*****************************************************************************
1. First select three characters you'll be using (exceptions apply for battles
where you have less than three characters or you're forced to be using certain
chr/s). Until comfortable with all chrs, I suggest having one heavy hitter
(Auron/Kimahri/Wakka), mage (if going offensively Lulu/if going defensively
Yuna) and a speedy character (Rikku/Tidus).
2. Equip your chrs prior to battles. ALWAYS wear a piece of armor. Weapon is a
mandatory piece of equipment, so don't bother trying to be weaponless, cos you
can't. Yes, I know that you can't predict what lies in future battle, but
you're better off having at least something equipped than having nothing.
3. Always save whenever you see Save Sphere. They are invaluable to your
progress. Not only do they restore party's and aeons' HP/MP to full, but once
you're after a certain tough spot in the game, you'll have a deep Phew! after
not having to repeat it again, should you encounter a game over afterwards.
*****************************************************************************
PART 2 - BATTLE START
*****************************************************************************
As you wander around in Field screen, suddenly a TV screen will shatter! Not
literally, but it is your warning that random battle has just issued! One of
three possible encounter setups await you:
1. Your party encounters enemy party and CTB window is outlined based on every
member's and fiend's Agi stat. Further divisions are possible.
- if every member's Agi is higher than Agi of fastest fiend, all your party
members will have a turn before fiends or may even have multiple turns before

first fiend even gets to act


Example 1: Party is Yuna with 30 Agi, Lulu with 33 Agi and Rikku with 45 Agi.
Enemy party consists of Dingo with 25 Agi. As you see, Dingo is slower than
three gals, so each of them will get a shot at it.
Example 2: Party is Yuna with 30 Agi, Lulu with 33 Agi and Rikku with 45 Agi.
Enemy party consists of Killer Bee with 14 Agi. As you see, Killer Bee is much
slower than three gals, so each of them will get two turns, Rikku even three
before Killer Bee even gets to act.
- if every members' Agi is lower than Agi of slowest fiend, each fiend will get
a turn before your fastest member gets to act; fiends may get to act multiple
times in case their Agi is enormous
Example 3: Party is Yuna with 30 Agi, Lulu with 33 Agi and Rikku with 45 Agi.
Enemy party consists of Dingo with 50 Agi. As you see, Dingo is faster than
three gals, so Dingo will act first.
Example 4: Party is Yuna with 30 Agi, Lulu with 33 Agi and Rikku with 45 Agi.
Enemy party consists of Killer Bee with 90 Agi. As you see, Killer Bee is much
faster than three gals, Killer Bee will get two turns before first member
(Rikku in this case) gets to act.
- if members' and fiends' Agi is a mixed bag, then CTB order goes from fastest
Agi to slowest Agi
Example 5: Party is Yuna with 30 Agi, Lulu with 33 Agi and Rikku with 45 Agi.
Enemy party consists of Dingo with 40 Agi. As you see, Rikku goes first, then
Dingo, then Lulu and finally Yuna.
2. Your party is ambushed by enemy party. You'll know so by word 'Ambushed!'
that appears at the top of battle screen. All fiends will act first. It doesn't
matter how high member's Agi is, fiends will always get to act first. Once
fiends use the advantage of free attack, CTB order returns to regular program,
ie calculating Agi of every member/fiend and outlining CTB order based on that.
For more info on how that is done look at point 1. of this section.
3. Your party ambushes enemy party. You'll know so by words 'Pre-emptive
strike!' that appears at top of battle screen. All members will go first,
regardless of Agi stat of the fiends. Once members use the advantage of free
attack, CTB order returns to regular program, ie calculating Agi of every
member/fiend and outlining CTB order based on that. For more info on how that
is done look at point 1. of this section.
4. Initiative ability
Increases your chances of gaining 'Pre-emptive strike!' advantage and reduces
enemy's chances of getting 'Ambushed!' advantage.
5. First Strike ability
Allows wielder to act first at beginning of any battle, regardless of Agi stat
of members/fiends and regardless of being ambushed. Only exception to this rule
is Varuna's Haste, in case you encounter it in O. Ruins.
*****************************************************************************
PART 3 - MEMBER'S TURN
*****************************************************************************
So a member of your party gets a turn. There's many things you can do now, each
explained below.
1. Select Attack to attack your enemy with equipped weapon. Once you have
confirmed the target fiend you want to attack, one of these outcomes may occur
(say damage done is 100 to make things easier for me to explain):
- fiend struck takes 100 damage; this is the outcome that'll occur the most
- fiend struck takes 200 damage (followed by a small screen flash); denotes
that fiend took a critical strike; chances of critical strike are increased

with higher Luck


- fiend struck takes 200 damage; denotes that fiend was struck with weapon
bearing an element fiend is weak against / fiend is Armor Breaked; continue
using that weapon / continue using any weapon
- fiend evades the attack; denotes that fiend's Eva is superior to member's
Acc; either use the character with higher Acc or improve member's Acc
- fiend is struck, but absorbs damage as 100 HP restored; denotes that fiend
was struck with weapon bearing an element fiend absorbs; discontinue using that
weapon or try other element attacks
- fiend is struck, but takes 0 damage or word Immune appears; denotes that
fiend was struck with weapon bearing an element fiend is immune to / status
ability enemy is immune to; discontinue using that element or try other element
attacks / try other statuses
- fiend is struck, but takes 50 damage; denotes that fiend was struck with
weapon bearing an element fiend is strong against / fiend is armored;
discontinue using that element or try other element attacks / use weapons with
Piercing ability, try Armor Break or switch to magic attacks
- fiend is struck, but a blue multi-hexagon barrier appears reducing damage
done by 50%; denotes fiend is under Protect; use Dispel or switch to magic
attacks
- fiend is struck, takes damage, but then the fiend responds to the attacker by
attacking him/her (note that this doesn't require a turn); denotes fiend is
capable of countering physical attacks; switch to magic attacks
2. Select Skill or Special and then choose one of abilities displayed to either
improve party's status or cripple enemy's. Note that most Skills have longer
recharge time (in aspect to selecting Attack) and most Specials have shorter
recharge time (in aspect to selecting Attack).
- Skills are used mainly to inflict fiends with status disorder and at same
time dealing some damage. Use them as needed, but take care of MP. Also take
note that element properties of weapons used still come into play, meaning even
if you successfully Full Break a Bomb, if weapon you used has Firestrike,
damage done will be absorbed.
- Specials are mostly used to aid party's status. Most are free of MP charge,
so fire away at them.
3. White Magic and Black Magic are core of existence for magic wielders. Black
magic is to be used against enemies, whilst white magic aids party members.
When black magic is used (also count Holy here), following can happen... (say
damage done is 100 to make things easier for me to explain):
- fiend struck takes 100 damage; this is the outcome that'll occur the most
- fiend struck takes 200 damage; denotes that fiend was struck with element
magic fiend is weak against / fiend is Mental Breaked; continue using that
magic / continue using any magic
- fiend is struck, but absorbs damage as 100 HP restored; denotes that fiend
was struck with element magic bearing an element fiend absorbs; discontinue
using that element magic
- fiend is struck, but takes 0 damage or word Immune appears; denotes that
fiend was struck with element magic bearing an element fiend is immune to /
status magic enemy is immune to; discontinue using that element magic / try
other status magic
- fiend is struck, but takes 50 damage; denotes that fiend was struck with
element magic bearing an element fiend is strong against; discontinue using
that element magic, try Mental Break or switch to other element magic
- fiend is struck, but a red three-circle barrier appears reducing damage done
by 50%; denotes fiend is under Shell; use Dispel or switch to physical attacks
- fiend is struck, takes damage, but then the fiend responds to the attacker by
attacking him/her (note that this doesn't require a turn); denotes fiend is
capable of countering magic attacks; switch to physical attacks
- just as fiend is to be struck, a 'half-of-the-blue-ball' barrier appears and

magic caster is struck instead; denotes fiend is under Reflect; use Dispel or
switch to physical attacks
White magic works just a bit differently:
- instead of restoring HP, member being healed takes damage; denotes member is
under Zombie; remove Zombie
- member is aided, but a red three-circle barrier appears reducing the healing
effect by 50%; denotes member is under Shell; use Dispel or switch to other
means of aiding, like items
- just as member is to be aided, a 'half-of-the-blue-ball' barrier appears and
one of the fiends is aided instead; denotes member is under Reflect; use Dispel
or switch to other means of aiding, like items
4. Items are to be used mainly for healing party members and restoring status.
Recharge time for item command is shorter than that of selecting Attack.
5. Summon (Yuna only) allows you to summon an aeon, who will take the fighting
all for himself (or herself!). Aeon's menu works much like member's.
6. Overdrive (available only if ov. gauge is full) allows chrs to perform
especially strong techs. Overdrives also have longest recharge time, so know
CTB well before you use them.
7. Switch equipment allows you to switch between weapons and armor to suit your
battle needs. Couple of examples below.
--> If you have Firestrike weapon and your opponent is a Bomb, you won't do
well against it. In fact, you'll restore HP to Bomb as it absorbs fire element.
But Bomb is weak versus ice and if you have Icestrike weapon in your stock,
switch to it and your odds have just improved dramatically.
--> If enemy Dingo is constantly putting you to sleep, that means you don't
have Sleepproof armor on yourself. Check the stock to see if you have such
armor available. If yes, equip it and Dingo's status changing attacks have just
been exterminated.
See? By experimenting and proceeding further in the game it won't take long
before you become an expert in the field.
8. Escape lets one chr flee from battle in case you believe 'Odds are against
us...'. You may not always succeed and you can't flee from most boss battles.
9. Switch is used when you believe that chr who is currently up, isn't quite
useful according to battle situation. Press L1 and select more appropriate chr,
and finally press X to complete the switch. Example follows.
- Your party is Yuna, Lulu and Rikku against Bunyip (armored mole enemy type).
It's Rikku's turn before Bunyip's. Not too good. Why? None of the gals have
particularly high Str and Bunyip is quite strong vs magic. Chr that is good
against armored mole enemies is Auron. So press L1, seek out Auron and switch
him in. Select Attack and point to Bunyip, who disappears in cloud of
pyreflies.
10. Defend is used when you can't think of anything particularly useful to be
done. Defend reduces physical damage done until next turn for 50%, but chr
defending still takes full magic damage.
*****************************************************************************
PART 4 - FIEND'S TURN
*****************************************************************************
Now for some of possible outcomes when fiend physically attacks a member.
- member struck takes 100 damage; this is the outcome that'll occur the most
- member struck takes 200 damage (followed by a small screen flash); denotes

member took a critical strike


- member is struck and takes 200 damage; denotes member is Armor Breaked; cast
Dispel on that member
- member evades the attack; denotes member's Eva is superior to fiend's Acc
- member is struck, but absorbs damage as 100 HP restored; denotes member was
struck with element attack bearing an element member absorbs (only fiend's
attack so far that falls in this category is Bomb's Self-Destruct)
- member is struck, but takes 0 damage or word Immune appears; denotes member

PART 5 - MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION AND GOOD-TO-KNOW-STUFF
*****************************************************************************
In here I'll list down any helpful info or hints I can think of to ease the
suffering of poor fiends that try to get in your way... and in case they
succeed, what to do to fix the situation.
1. You lose control of a chr if he/she is berserked, confused, petrified, KOed. Berserk is not necessarily bad, as chr continues to attack fiends with
increased Str, you just can't control that chr. Confused chr will always attack
allies, so quickly use Esuna or Remedy on such chr. Petrified chr is a mixed
bag... if chr receives an attack whose damage is greater than current HP (there
are exceptions), such chr will shatter and be gone from this battle permanently
- Soft OR Esuna used quickly will ensure that will never happen. KO-ed chr is
of no use to you, therefore Phoenix Down or Life will give that chr a new
chance.
2. Increase your party's amount of turns available by increasing Agi. You can
do so in many ways: Haste, Hastega, Chocobo Feather, Chocobo Wing.
3. Decrease enemy party's amount of turns available by decreasing their Agi or
incurring certain statuses. Decrease fiends' Agi with Slow or Slowga, or use

Delay skills to let fiends never even get the attack in. Putting fiends to
sleep and then whacking them with magic attacks is also an excellent way of
winning the battle.
4. Augment your Def and Mdef with Protect and Shell respectively (both increase
the resistance by 50%).
5. Make enemies hit themselves with magic by having Reflect on (for permanent
effect wear Auto-Reflect armor).
6. Each attack enemy does to you will make them feel the pain right back with
help of Counter-Attack and Magic Counter weapons (Sentinel and Counter-Attack
make a very good combo). Note that you cannot counter multi-target attacks.
7. Steal from enemies often. You will need a lot of items later in the game
which will help you in tougher fights or you'll need them to make a proper
weapon or armor.
8. Always try to have chr who is good against specific enemies kill that enemy,
therefore ending the battle as quickly as possible. That means like this...
Rikku - robotic enemies
Lulu - flan enemies and element enemies
Yuna - super-strong enemies (like Land Worm and Zu), for she can summon
Tidus - nimble enemies (wolf and lizard enemies)
Wakka - flying enemies
Auron, Kimahri - armored enemies
*****************************************************************************
PART 6 - BATTLE END
*****************************************************************************
Battle is over when:
- all of the fiends are killed and / or have escaped
- your party fled the battle
- your party was killed or petrified (but as long as at least one chr manages
to escape, you do not get Game Over)
*****************************************************************************
PART 7 - POST BATTLE
*****************************************************************************
So enemies have been toasted, AP distributed and items, equipment and Gil
received. What to do before next battle?
1. First, heal up any members who suffered heavy wounds (any KO-ed or shattered
allies are restored with 1 HP; also any status changes chr was afflicted with
at end of battle are gone).
2. Check the equipment your chrs wear. If you feel it doesn't do well against
enemies you fought, make proper changes. Hopefully you were 'lucky' enough to
get a taste of everything possible fiend can throw at you, therefore making
your decision what to use in next battles easier. Aside making equipment
changes in triangle menu you can also change equipment inside battles, you
know.
3. Practice makes perfect! Keep in mind that there are many generic type
enemies you'll meet thru the game. They are no different from their brethren
other than in name, color and stats. Once you encounter another enemy of say
wolf-type, you'll already know that Tidus is the best option to dispose of it.

4. Keep your eyes peeled! At top left corner of the screen you'll see a minimap. Red arrow will be pointing you in the right direction. Green squares mark
entrances and exits, white squares show save spheres. Also remember to check
everywhere and to talk to as many people as you can - doing so may yield many
useful items and equipment.

*****************************************************************************
701 - ZANARKAND
Enemies: Sinscale, Sinspawn Ammes (BOSS)
Items: 2x Potion
Equipment: Longsword
Key Items: None
*****************************************************************************
When you have control of main character, move to the bunch of people you'll see
on the pier. Talk with three kids, name your character, then talk with two
girls. Talk with left one again to hit (on) her. When done, just wait a bit.
You're now on a long driveway. Go along it until the end. Talk to every person
you see for some funny responses. One of the gals (pink top, yellow tights) you
talk to on this highway will give you 2x Potion (when asked if you have some
spare tickets, say that you do). Have a laugh or two (heh), then proceed inside
(if you wait long enough, Tidus will go in by himself).
You'll now view an amazing blitzball sequence. But everything that looks like a
ball is not friendly... Some flying 'balls' mean trouble. Your new ally will
hand Tidus Longsword (no abilities) and it's battle time. As this is first
battle of the game, it's easy - enemy doesn't attack you. BTW, your item stock
is currently composed of 10x Potion (12x Potion if you offered tickets to the
gal on the road) and 3x Phoenix Down. I'd advise you to KO your ally for this
battle and cripple Tidus' HP in yellow, ie below 50% MAX HP. Once you do that,
continuously defend with Tidus until he learns Daredevil and Loner overdrive
modes. Once both modes are learned, use Phoenix Down on your comrade, have him
KO Tidus and continuously defend as well until he too learns Daredevil and
Loner modes. When done, use Phoenix Down on Tidus and kill that lonely enemy.
When this battle ends, it's not over yet. Another awaits you. This time you're
attacked from both sides, 3x Sinscale in front and 2x Sinscale behind your
back. Listen to the advice of your comrade-in-arms and attack Sinscales that
block your path forward. These five Sinscales still do not attack and this is
also a perfect opportunity for both chrs to learn Slayer mode (but make sure
that you only target Sinscales behind your back; if you kill the three in
front, battle will end). It may be boring a bit, but do persevere, for you'll
see that Slayer mode is among the best ones. After three Sincales in front are
defeated, you'll reach your goal: first boss!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------a) Demi - GRATT VS all chrs - mgd - tears off 25% of current HP
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | A boss already (with five soon-to-be-killed Sinscales) and we
haven't had a chance to save yet. Fret not, you can't die in this battle if you
swing your joypad right (picks up few teeth scattered around...). Take a look:
Your other party member will have an Overdrive ready. Press left in command
window to bring up Overdrive command. Select it, then select Dragon Fang. If
you accidentally mess up, Dragon Fang will take care of all Sinscales anyway.
So that leaves only Ammes. Demi, Demi, Demi. Even if you're really low on HP,
you can't die. All you have to do is repeatedly attack Ammes until it bites the
flies.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------'Zanarkand: Overpass'
Yay. Save sphere. Save! Then go to right of the screen. After a bit of running
you'll again fall into a battle against Sinscales. Yawn. Rinse and repeat the
last fight you had with them - attack the ones whose turn will come up soonest,
but make priority on the ones whose wings start to flicker. After a while your
comrade will suggest attacking the generator which will now become a legit
target. Attack it a few times (ignore Sinscales!) and generator will take care
of the rest...

702 - SUBMERGED RUINS
Enemies: Sahagin, Geosgaeno (BOSS), Klikk (BOSS)
Items: 200 gil, 2x Potion, 1x Hi-Potion, 1x X-Potion, 1x Ether, 1x Hi-Potion
Equipment: None
Key Items: Flint, Withered Bouquet
*****************************************************************************
'Submerged ruins'
Where are we? Press Circle to dive until game takes over. Where are we now?
Geez, swimming again. Before you exit this area in the far north exit, explore
the ruins. You'll find two treasure chests (one containing 200 Gil, the other
2x Potion), and Al Bhed Compilation Sphere (useless if you're playing for the
first time, BUT if that's your second time thru the game, do examine that
compilation sphere and choose to pull Al Bhed Primers from your other save/s
into your current game) and a strange insignia on the pillar written in funny
language. Done all that? We have nothing left to do here, so swim to far north
exit.
'Ruins: Underwater hall'
As you enter make left turns until you reach a chest with Hi-Potion. Backtrack
and take the other path. Dive and swim in obvious direction... all this to pick
a fight? Three Sahagins will try to make short work of you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------a) 'Punch' - GRATTP VS one chr - phd - tears off 50% current HP
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | After two Sahagins kick the bucket, Geosgaeno shows up. It'll kill
remaining Sahagin and then turn on you. An intimidating amount of HP VS Tidus'
puny amount of HP. A battle that cannot be won? Indeed it is. So what do you
do? Just exchange blows with each other. Don't use any Potions! Geo's punch is
gravity based and cannot kill you, ever. After Geo hits you for the third time,
battle is over.**
* - Acquired with help of AR2.
** - With help of cheats it is possible to defeat Geosgaeno. However, you don't
get anything for it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------'Ruins: Corridor'
Cough, cough. If I never see another fish, it'll be too soon. Drat, trapped
again. Simply go up the stairs.
'Ruins: Hall'
You've reached a big room with dead campfire in the middle. Right doors can't
be opened... but push to the right of this door to have the screen shift a bit
in order to find an area with a chest containing X-Potion! Now what would
MacGyver do? Left doors lead to a messed up room...
'Ruins: Small Room'
Examine the crushed desk where you must pick up a Flint *KEY ITEM*. Exit to
previous big room and go in the back.
'Ruins: Stairs'
When on this new screen, check the bottom of the screen for Ether. Climb the
stairs and pick up Withered Bouquet *KEY ITEM*. Don't go back yet. You'll reach
the balcony of 'Ruins: Hall'. On the end is another chest with Hi-Potion.
You've done all you can for now. Return to campfire and press X...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------Immune to SENSOR and SCAN!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------a) 'Swipe' - VS one chr - phd
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | Keep Potions handy. Your first boss battle where you have to be a
bit careful! Well, you still can't pull off any fancy moves, so you're left
with tried-and-tested strategy of hitting Klikk and using a Potion when your HP
is at 150. Klikk can hit you for about 100 damage. Once Klikk loses 750 HP...
hmm, who's this? Reinforcements have arrived! Now you can try out a few new
tricks. BTW, Klikk's HP is restored to 1500. (Thanks to Gestahl for this.) New
comrade's commands include Use (allows you to use items you cannot use with
Item command) and Steal (character will attempt to steal from the enemy). Have
your comrade Use Grenades on Klikk and have Tidus attack as usual (remember to
heal yourself if damaged badly). If you run out of Grenades, you can steal some
from Klikk. And 'Give what you get!'.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------*****************************************************************************
703 - SALVAGE SHIP
Enemies: Piranha, Tros (BOSS)
Items: 3x Potion
Equipment: None
Key Items: Primer I
*****************************************************************************
'Salvage Ship: Deck'
Blah blah. It's time for you to learn how to use Sphere Grid, so pay attention.
After tutorial is over, pick up a strange small object on the deck of ship. It
turns out to be Al Bhed Primer Vol. I *KEY ITEM*. These books allow you to
understand Al Bhed language once you have all of them. Talking with one of male
Al Bheds will net you 3x Potion. Then talk to female Al Bhed and off we go.
Let's salvage something... anything.
Hint: It's very much advisable that you teach Tidus Flee and Haste ASAP. I'm
not saying to push yourself hard right now to gain enough AP, I'm merely
stating that getting these two Abilities in early stages of the game may save
your life quite a few times.
If you keep returning from 'Salvage Ship: Underwater' to the deck of Salvage
Ship to talk to leftmost Al Bhed, who gives you 3x Potion, you can rack up to
99x Potions that way.
'Salvage Ship: Surface'
While you're in water near the ship, press Circle to dive.
'Salvage Ship: Underwater'
Keep diving.
'Underwater Ruins'
When you reach a strange room, head to what appears to be control panel and
press X. I never knew that banging on stuff would be a good thing to do...
Anyway, continue on (follow the arrow in the mini-map until you reach an X mark
indicated in the mini-map). As you enter the room, couple from Piranhas will
charge from behind you. Defeat them, then examine the 'thing' by pressing X.
Try to leave... another ambush!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------SENSOR: Attacks with Nautilus Charge after backing away.
SCAN: Retreats after the column after taking damage, where it cannot be
attacked. Hits all targets with Nautilus Charge on the next turn, inflicting
great damage. Use trigger commands to stop it from unleashing Nautilus Charge.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------a) Nautilus Charge - VS all chrs - phd, requires one turn to charge
b) 'Tentacle strike' - VS one chr - phd
c) Tentacles - VS one chr - phd
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | This battle introduces Trigger commands. Follow this strategy: Tidus
attacks, girl Uses Grenades (if she runs out, she can steal some from Tros),
heal with Potions when necessary. After you deal 350 damage to Tros, it'll get
out of range. You can still hit it with Grenades, hehe. If Tidus already has
Cheer learned, use it a few times to increase Str and Def.
You have three options now. If your health is low, use Potion to heal. If
you're quite healthy, use Trigger Command Stand By [restores 50 HP to user]. Or
otherwise press Triangle to defend. Get ready for Nautilus Charge and take the
punishment of about 170 HP (half less if you were defending). Attack Tros for
further 350 damage until it gets out of range again. This time new Trigger
Command Pincer Attack [attack an enemy from two sides] becomes available. Only
Tidus is able to use it. So? Use it and Tros can't use Nautilus Charge anymore.
Tidus attacks, girl grenadiers, but beware of Tros using stronger version of
physical attack called Tentacles, heh. It takes off about 100 HP. Wave buh-bye
to Tros, who'll disappear in a cloud of mist...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Go thru the hole Tros came in and then just keep following the girl. Game takes
over again. Hm, I should go grab a snack before we move on. After a long
sequence...
*****************************************************************************
704 - BESAID ISLAND

Items: 200 gil, 2x Potion, 3x Potion, 1x Hi-Potion, 2x Antidote, 1x Phoenix

Equipment: Rod of Wisdom, Brotherhood, Seeker's Ring
Key Items: Moon Crest, Primer II
*****************************************************************************
'Besaid: Beach'
Water again. Meet the local blitz team and enjoy a bit of conversation. You'll
get 200 Gil, 2x Potion, 3x Potion and 1x Hi-Potion from them. Before you follow
their leader (who introduces himself as Wakka) off the beach, explore the area.
Pick up Moon Crest *KEY ITEM* at all costs from the chest located on the east
in a bay. Between the houses on southwest of the beach you can find a chest
with 2x Antidote.

'Besaid: Crossroads'
In this new area follow Wakka to the right. You've reached the end of the...
'Besaid: Valley'
...water? Follow the arrow. Don't forget to pick up chests (contain Phoenix
Down, Hi-Potion and 2x Antidote) you'll pass across, as this area is one-time
deal. Wakka is obviously hiding something and you'll get to learn soon what
that is... That's all? No problem!
'Besaid: Village Slope'
Simply go left.
'Besaid Village'
Yay, our first village, originally called Besaid village. Not a big one, I
might add. It has only 5 houses and one temple (which takes off 2/3 of the
village). As another rule of RPGs states: Check everything, talk with everybody
and check the shops (meanwhile ducks to avoid a Rocket Propelled Grenade).
There's a hard-to-see hidden path behind one of the houses on the left, that
leads to destroyed house with three chests. Loot them for 2x Potion, Hi-Potion
and 400 Gil. Chest in front of item shop has Phoenix Down. Now head for the
temple, which is on far north of Besaid village. Check the statues and a priest
will explain about... nope, I said no spoilers.
Return to Wakka's house and say that you want to sleep. Yawn... when you stand
up, go left, as you can't go right very far... wakey, wakey! Go to the temple
again. Tidus decides to go on a rescue mission. Welcome to the first Cloister
of Trials. While there aren't many of them, these cloisters are annoying. Let's
start. I also have pictures present to guide you thru the whole process, so
that you won't get lost ever. Under each step will be picture provided so
whenever you don't know what to do, copy/paste the link to your address bar and
voila.
*****************************************
LEVEL 1: Besaid Temple Cloister of Trials
*****************************************
LEVEL 1 PRIZE: Rod of Wisdom
STEP 1: As you enter first room, game will explain what is the purpose of
Cloister of Trials (it conveniently forgets to mention that their other purpose
is to annoy the heck out of us).
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/btemple01.jpg
STEP 2: Approach spot A marked in previous picture and touch the glyph there.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/btemple02.jpg
STEP 3: Easy, huh? Now approach spot B marked two pictures back and touch
second glyph.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/btemple03.jpg
STEP 4: Tadaah! Go down the stairs and when 'road' turns left, you'll see a
recess on the wall to the right. Examine it and remove Glyph Sphere.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/btemple04.jpg
STEP 5: With Glyph Sphere in hand go down the stairs even more. A door will be
in the way. What's this? Another recess. Put in Glyph Sphere...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/btemple05.jpg
STEP 6:... and door opens. Leave Glyph Sphere where it is and proceed down the
corridor (ignore the recess you'll see on left wall between first and second
turn). After two turns you will reach a spot with small white pillar on the

left and a bunch of wall symbols on the right. Touch the symbols.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/btemple06.jpg
STEP 7: Aren't you a nice little wall destroyer? Enter the newly opened area.
At the end is yet another recess (better get used to those). Inside is Besaid
Sphere. Remove it.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/btemple07.jpg
STEP 8: With Besaid Sphere in hand turn around and stick it into the recess
found on small pillar I mentioned before. Third wall gone... Leave the pillar
as it is. *Don't move* it yet.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/btemple08.jpg
STEP 9: Remember the door we opened with Glyph Sphere. Return there and remove
Glyph Sphere from the door.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/btemple09.jpg
STEP 10: Now I'll need you to remember the recess I mentioned in step 6. Maybe
you tried inserting Besaid Sphere into it before, but it didn't do squat,
right? That's because you need to insert Glyph Sphere into this recess like
so...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/btemple10.jpg
STEP 11: Another wall gone. Enter this small room and remove Destruction Sphere
that happily awaits to release its true potential.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/btemple11.jpg
STEP 12: Go to the room where you got Besaid Sphere (step 7!). In the recess
insert Destruction Sphere.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/btemple12.jpg
STEP 13: Unlucky me.:) And another unlucky wall gets smithened. Weee, a
treasure chest! Nail it and Rod of Wisdom (Mag+3%, Mag+5%, Sensor) is yours.
You also broke Destruction sigil! 1/6 of your work is thus done! Work for what?
It's explained in one of the sections waaaay more down in this guide.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/btemple13.jpg
STEP 14: I need to show you one more thing. If you look at this pic...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/btemple14.jpg
... there are two points of interest. You need to push small pillar onto square
shaped Spot D. If somehow you manage not to succeed into getting it there, step
onto Spot C to reset pillar's default position.
STEP 15: So stand to the right of pillar like so...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/btemple15.jpg
STEP 16:... and press left on directional buttons. Push it all the way down the
corridor until pillar is pushed onto Spot D. Pillar will now sink into the
floor. Floor will also change design into this...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/btemple16.jpg
... meaning you have successfully completed first Cloister! Congratulations.
After listening to another convo you'll be outside of temple. Head left and get
a glimpse at what Yuna can do now. Honestly, I expected a known force and not a
completely new one. Name this 'pet'. Later when the night falls, move left and
talk with Yuna. When finished and Wakka asks you a question, answer whatever
you like. Then talk to Wakka again and say you'd like to sleep.
Good morning! Wakka will hand over Brotherhood (Str+5%, 3 FS), a sword that
previously belonged to... oops, spoiler. Head for the Crusader's tent and nab
Vol. II *KEY ITEM*. Now find the girl with the dog (she's in item shop) I bet

you saw earlier and talk to her until she says 'that her dog found something'.
Go in the third house on the right of the village and 'talk' to the dog inside.
You'll get a special item, and somebody learns a new Overdrive. We're done in
this village, so get ready to depart. You gain 1x Map item automatically. Equip
function is now available in the Triangle menu.
'Besaid: Village Slope'
On your way out of the village the game will now lead you by hand by teaching
you how to best utilize your new party members.
'Besaid: Promontory'
When you reach Promontory, pray or not. It doesn't affect anything later in the
game. Proceed in arrow's direction.
'Besaid: Ancient Road'
You want some of me?

More water? Tidus' eyesight sure wanders over interesting places...;) Explore
the ship (there's Vol. III *KEY ITEM* in the ship's Power Room - where two
chocobos are; you can pick up a Remedy from the chest in the cabin; then
there's a suitcase you can kick for up to twenty potions - however, if you
already have say 12 Potions, you'll get 8 of them by kicking the suitcase).
For a quickie you need to: talk to Wakka, approach the crowd at end of the
ship, talk to Wakka, talk to Yuna, talk to... RUN!

SCAN: Save Kilika! Hit Sin from a distance with Wakka' blitzball and Lulu's
black magic. Valefor's attacks work well, too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------a) 'Move' - simply moves to another location, no harm done to your chrs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | Characters I recommend to use are Wakka, Lulu and Tidus. Let Tidus
take care of Sinscales, but kill only two of them. If you waste all three, more
will come. Naturally concentrate on Sinscales whose wings start to flicker.
Otherwise Spines will hit for about 220 damage. Have Lulu use any offensive
magic she has on Sin, and have Wakka attack Sin as well. Once two Sinscales are
disposed of, switch Tidus out and assign Yuna as medic. Attack and attack until
Sin goes down.
Liam H. wrote to me: If you feel your guys and gals are strong enough to kill
Sinscales with one hit, keep killing them and their reinforcements. Sinscale
supply is endless. That way you can end this battle with way more AP than you
ever wished for.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------SENSOR: Afflict it with darkness to make it miss.
SCAN: Absorbs HP with its Drain Touch. Inflicting darkness is the way to go.
But after two Drain Touches it will bring out the Blender, inflicting damage on
all targets.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------a) Blender - NATT VS all chrs - mgd - used every three turns
b) Drain Touch - VS one chr - phd - amount of HP deducted from attacked chr is
added to Echuilles' HP
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | What the heck was Tidus thinking anyway? Only Tidus and somebody
else are available for this battle. Hope you haven't used all Potions yet.
Forget about Sinscales. I know they're annoying (inflict around 65 damage), but
they come in infinite numbers, so concentrate your attacks on Echuilles.
Drain Touch inflicts about 50 damage and Blender deals 120 damage to all.
Take heed: Blender is used every three turns. However, by inflicting darkness
(Dark Attack!) you can increase your odds significantly as Echuilles will have
trouble connecting Drain Touch. Also have Tidus use Cheer a few times to
increase Str and Def. I recommend counting the turns Echuilles uses Drain Touch
so you'll know when Blender will come up and use that knowledge to heal
yourself in time. Again, ignore Sinscales and concentrate on Echuilles only.
Once you rip off 2000 HP it has, it bites the water.

Key Items: Primer IV
*****************************************************************************
As you get off the ship, go up and then left on next screen. After the movie go
out of the inn, head right, talk to Wakka. There's Vol. IV *KEY ITEM* in
'Kilika - Tavern'. Exit the tavern and then go left all the time (last house
you can enter before Kilika Woods has chest with 3x Potion; also, approach the
destroyed house with little girl in it... return to tavern and open new chest
with Ether). Leave this village until you reach Kilika Woods.
'Kilika Woods'
In this next battle you get to see how Enemy Skill works in this game. Have
Kimahri use Lancet on Ragora and he'll learn Seed Cannon, useless Ronso Rage
(this is how Enemy Skill is renamed in FFX). As soon as Kimahri learns new
Ronso Rage from specific enemy, this will fill up his Overdrive gauge to the
max immediately, so you can test out new ability.

Somewhere around now it's a good idea to have Tidus learn Haste. Explore the
forest, open chests, talk to folks roaming around and you'll find/receive:
Remedy, Hi-Potion, Luck Sphere, Scout, 2x Mana Sphere, 4x Antidote. If you
approach Lord Ochu from the left, engage in battle, let Ochu take a swing or
two at you, and then escape, a Crusader will come running and give you 3x
Phoenix Down.
Meet up with two acquaintances from Besaid village near the bridge you'll see
up ahead. Further ahead you will see an enemy which you will instantly
recognize if you're a veteran to FF - yep, it's Ochu, but not just any Ochu...

DAA: Berserkward, Darkward, Poisonward, Silenceward, Sleepward, Stoneward
----------------------------------------------------------------------------SENSOR: Vulnerable to fire.
SCAN: Its claws inflict poison. Restores lost HP by sleeping. Retaliates with
Earthquake if awakened, so watch out. Being a plant, it burns easily.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------a) Poison Claw - VS one chr - phd + Poison
b) Water - WATT VS one chr - water d.
c) 'Lord Ochu falls asleep.' - once sustaining 2500 or more damage, Ochu will
go to sleep, receiving Regen status - wake it up and it will counter with
Earthquake
d) Earthquake - GRATT & CATT VS all chrs - tears off 50% current HP - used if
awakened
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | First boss battle where you get troubles with statuses - this time
it's Poison that'll annoy you. Get those Antidotes handy. Ochu's Poison Claw
will deal about 120 damage to single chr on top of poisoning it. It may also
cast Water for about 300 damage. Shut it up with Wakka's Silence Attack. If you
don't have that yet, casting NulTide is another solution. Also have Tidus use
Cheer a few times to increase Str and Def.
Further fighting this guy revealed a set attack pattern: Ochu will use one or
two Poison Claws, and then Water, again one or two Poison Claws, then Water.
Lulu is nearly a must in this fight. Her Fire will deal big damage to Ochu.
Tidus can also be of use by casting Haste I hope you've learned so far (you'll
need to gain 11 Sphere levels to get to Haste). Prior to the fight it is also
recommended to equip Firestrike weapons, if you have any.
I suggest not wasting Antidotes for Poison, but instead use Yuna's Esuna.
Once you knock of 2500 or more of Ochu's HP, it'll fall asleep on first turn
it'll get after that and at same time getting Regen status. Wake it up ASAP this will also negate Ochu's Regen. It'll counter with Earthquake, but it
cannot kill you cos it's a gravity attack based on current HP. You could also
use Valefor to strike Ochu - as Valefor is a flying bastard, Earthquake misses
(thanks to Gestahl for this). Once awakened, continue to repeat the advice I
gave above and you'll win. Also, if you've followed my tip from start of this
guide about Loner, use Slice and Dice on it for quick reduction of HP, hehe.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------After you kick his lordy ass, go right from your current position and then up
at next intersection. Also, one of two acquaintances I mentioned before will
give you Elixir; and if you talk to one of both captain Falcons... er, I mean
Crusader captains (more specifically, the one who mentions he can't believe you
wasted Ochu), you'll receive NulBlaze Shield for Tidus.

| ELEMABS: WAT
----------------------------------------------------------------------------No equipment acquired!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------SENSOR: Absorbs magical attacks against Geneaux.
SCAN: Absorbs magic cast against Geneaux's body. Defeat tentacles first, then
use magic attacks on the body. Tentacles have high magic defence, so physical
attacks are the way to go.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------a) 'Tentacles absorb magic!' - as long as tentacles live, ANY magic cast at
main body is useless
b) 'Tentacle strike' - VS one chr - phd
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | Get rid of tentacles first. Why? ANY magic cast at the body will be
absorbed by tentacles. Not only do you waste a turn, you also lose valuable MP.
However, magic cast at tentacles themselves won't be absorbed. Element to use
in this fight is fire. Body is vulnerable to it, and tentacles take normal
damage from it. Tentacles deal about 100 damage on their turn. And there's two
of them, so be careful. Heal if you're at 250 HP or less!
Now what? Body is weak to magic, but resistant to physicals. Tentacles are
resistant to magic, but weak to physicals. Have Tidus use Cheer a few times to
increase Str and Def. Meanwhile attack tentacles (3-5 hits should take them
down) and then blast away at the boss with Fire magic or Firestrike weapons.
When Geneaux's HP falls is 2399 or less, it'll bust out of its shell.
Alternatively summon Valefor at the start of battle (in Overdrive, if possible)
and energize them to kingdom come (thanks to Gestahl for this).
Geneaux uses Venom, Water and Staccato in that order. So use this big tip to
plan ahead. When it breaks from shell, first attack it'll use is Venom (about
100 damage to single chr). So use Antidote or Esuna on character that's
affected. Before Geneaux's second turn comes up when it casts Water (around 90
damage), cast NulTide. You can also Silence it! On third turn get ready for
Staccato. Deals around 100 damage to all chrs. Either Defend or keep up your HP
above 200. Then the roulette repeats... of course, you shall prevail.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------'Kilika Temple'
You've reached the next temple. And you also reached next Cloister of Trials.
'I wanna scream, I wanna jump for joy...' Yeah right. Go inside the temple.
Talk to Wakka and pick whichever choice. Wow! Go thru the door up the stairs
and enter Cloister of Trials. When all others go, wait until platform comes
back up. Then step on it... When down, go ahead and enter the door.
******************************************
LEVEL 2 - Kilika Temple Cloister of Trials
******************************************
LEVEL 2 PRIZE: Red Armlet
KS - Kilika Sphere
GS - Glyph Sphere
DS - Destruction Sphere
STEP 1: What you see on this pic is the first room of Kilika's Cloister. One
pillar (marked with A) rests KS1. Take it out and stick it into recess found on
right of the door (marked with B).
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/ktemple01.jpg
STEP 2: Hot hot hot! Remove KS1 from the recess...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/ktemple02.jpg
STEP 3:... and with KS1 in hand proceed thru now 'broken' door until you reach
next big room with four points of interest. C, D and E mark spots where there
are recesses (into which you can insert spheres) on the walls. F marks second
pillar with GS atop of it.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/ktemple03.jpg
STEP 4: Approach recess marked with D (as shown in above pic) and insert KS1.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/ktemple04.jpg

STEP 5: A glyph will appear. Now remove KS1.


http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/ktemple05.jpg
STEP 6: With KS1 in hand approach recess marked with E (as shown in step 3) in
stick it in.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/ktemple06.jpg
STEP 7: Now approach the glyph you just caused to appear. Examine it and you
will be able to touch it.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/ktemple07.jpg
STEP 8: Access granted. Shown on this pic are two points of interest. G marks
the spot of shining glyph, which we shall use later. H marks a recess with KS2
inserted in it.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/ktemple08.jpg
STEP 9: Take out KS2 from recess marked with H as shown above.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/ktemple09.jpg
STEP 10: Return to recess marked with C (step 3 pic) in insert KS2.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/ktemple10.jpg
STEP 11: Now get near the second pillar (marked as F in step 3 pic) with GS
atop of it. Remove the GS.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/ktemple11.jpg
STEP 12: Get moving to recess marked as H (step 8 pic) and insert GS into it.
Wall will split, allowing access to another room, but that room doesn't
interest us... yet.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/ktemple12.jpg
STEP 13: Now step on shining glyph, marked as G (step 8 pic). Pillar you saw
one room back (marked as F in step 3 pic) will be magically teleported near
your current position.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/ktemple13.jpg
STEP 14: Return to either of recesses marked as C or E (step 3 pic), doesn't
matter. But for this guide I shall use recess C. Remove KS2 from that recess.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/ktemple14.jpg
STEP 15: Now go to the pillar you teleported before by stepping on shining
glyph. Do you have KS2? If yes, insert it in recess found on that pillar.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/ktemple15.jpg
STEP 16: With KS2 inserted it's time to do a bit of pushing. Remember how you
pushed the pillar found in Besaid temple? Repeat the exercise for this one, but
you need to push the pillar onto shining glyph (mark G).
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/ktemple16.jpg
STEP 17: Part of the floor will crumble, allowing access to yet another recess.
From your current position go left, then down the stairs and to the right.
You're now near the recess, so remove KS3.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/ktemple17.jpg
STEP 18: See another set of stairs leading up not far from here? At the end is
a door with a recess on the right of it. Insert KS3 you just got into it.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/ktemple18.jpg
STEP 19: Recall the small room you were granted access back in step 12? Now
this room does interest us. Go there and remove DS.

http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/ktemple19.jpg
STEP 20: Now go to recess where KS3 rested before. Insert DS into it.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/ktemple20.jpg
STEP 21: Kaboom... sort of. A chest. Nail it and Red Armlet is yours. You also
just broke Destruction sigil!
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/ktemple21.jpg
STEP 22: For coup de grace go up the stairs to your left. This is where you
inserted KS3 in step 18. Now remove it and Kilika's Cloister of trials is
finished.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/ktemple22.jpg
You've reached the Antechamber! Talk to Wakka and Lulu until they start
repeating themselves. Nothing happens. Try to leave now and Yuna will appear.
You have to backtrack all the way to Kilika now. Joy, for you can test out a
new toy (if you skipped defeating Lord Ochu before, try your new toy on it).
The ship is repaired, so get on it and head out to Luca.

View the movie. You've reached Luca, second largest city in Spira. You'll find
yourself on 'Luca: Nr.2 Dock'. After blahblah is over move right to 'Luca: Nr.3
dock'. Go right a bit more... Sephiroth? Naaah.:)
Time to prepare for the game. View the tutorial (or not, since it's rather
large). Yuna will burst in, saying that she saw someone you've already met
before... What? Let's go find this person. You'll be in 'Luca: Basement A'.
Follow the arrow. 'Luca: Main Gate' welcomes you. Go a bit left and down the
stairs to enter 'Luca: Basement B'. On the floor here is Vol. VI *KEY ITEM*.
There's 2x Hi-Potion chest at end of basement.
Turn back and enter 'Luca: Main Gate' again. Now let's go visit the docks.
Nr.1 Dock - 600 gil, Tidal Spear
Nr.2 Dock - 2x Phoenix Down
Return to 'Luca: Main Gate' and go in only direction you haven't gone yet. On

go right to find 'Luca: Square'. Climb the stairs on upper right of the screen
to enter 'Luca: City Limits'. Nab 1000 Gil. Return to previous screen and enter
the tavern.
Now we have to look for somebody else. Kimahri, Lulu and Tidus will form a
search party. You need to reach 'Luca: Nr.4 Dock'. You'll have to use the left
side.
Buy Thunder Spear for Kimahri from O'aka at 'Luca: Nr.1 dock'. As you reach
'Luca: Nr.2 dock', you'll get ambushed by some weirdos. New type of enemies...
remember to follow Lulu's advice! Same thing will happen on Docks 3 and 4. Kick
last few enemies into oblivion, save. Note that this is an excellent
opportunity to stock up on Hi-Potions and X-Potions. How, you ask? Return to
Dock 3 and you'll engage in random battles against Workers. If you can Overkill
one, you'll get 2x Hi-Potion, or 2x X-Potion for rare drop. When bored, proceed

----------------------------------------------------------------------------SENSOR: Vulnerable to lightning.
SCAN: Speeds up when damaged. Vulnerable to lightning, but chucks a Mute Ball
at anyone casting Thunder. Use a nearby object to escape its mighty Blitzball
Rush.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------a) Blind Ball - CATT VS one chr - phd + Blind for one turn - used if attacked
with physical attack
b) Mute Ball - CATT VS one chr - phd + Silence for one turn - used if attacked
with magical attack
c) Blitzball Rush - STATT VS all chrs - std - 12 hits randomly distributed
between targeted chrs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | Tidus will make a smartass comment... which actually pays off. As
battle starts, have Tidus use Haste on Lulu. Have Lulu cast Thunder at the
Crane three times. Meanwhile have Kimahri defend or use healing items on the
party. Do whatever you wish, just leave Oblitzerator the hell alone. Also have
Tidus use Cheer a few times to increase Str and Def.
Thundering the crane will power it up and now Oblitzerator is doomed. Have
Tidus use Trigger Command 'Use Crane' [activates crane]. Crane will move, pick
up Oblitzerator and rip off its top part, dropping it in the water, at the same
time reducing boss' HP by 93,75% of current HP. I forgot to mention that by
ripping off Oblitzerator's top part it cannot attack anymore (thanks to Gestahl
for this).
Why is this the best way? If attacked with magic, boss counters with Mute Ball
- deals about 70 damage and inflicts Silence. Blind Ball is used in case of
physical attack. Expect 90 damage and Darkness. On its regular turn it'll use

Blitzball Rush, which hits twelve times, each hit dealing around 35 damage.
Also, the lower its health, faster it'll become. And there's no Haste involved.
So it's best to go with Crane technique.
ADDITIONAL STRATEGY (submitted by Terminal Velocity):
I managed to defeat the Oblitzerator without using the crane. How so? Instead
of wasting time on using the crane with Tidus, I had him Cheer to the point
that there was no noticable increase in stats. Lulu shot off a Thunder every so
often, with the turns in which she was Silenced by the Mute Ball counter she
acted as healer.
The biggest breakthrough came when I realized that Kimahri's Lancet would be
countered by a Mute Ball, rather than a Blind Ball. This enabled me to Lancet,
get Silenced, Attack, get Blinded, then Lancet until the blindness wore off,
since Lancet is not afected by either status ailment.
The increase in Oblitzerator's Agility wasn't noticable due to Kimahri being in
Haste for more Lancet opportunities.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------What looked impossible was just possibilized! Go to your locker room, then
enter it again. Play a bit of blitzball. You obtain 1x Strength Sp. if you
manage to win this game. If you don't win, don't sweat it... After that save
when prompted. Sahagin Chiefs will litter the pool. Use a good cleansing on
them. After you kill 17 of them, reinforcements arrive.
Someone you know from before VS Vouivre. Bam! Dead Vouivre.
Wakka, Tidus and SYKFB VS Garuda. Bam! Dead Garuda (use Wakka's Dark Attack
skill for easier battle).
Wakka, Tidus and SYKFB VS ALOE (A Lot Of Enemies). Bam! Dead ALOE. But your
party didn't do it... someone else did. Surprise, surprise.
SYKFB will now start spreading rumors.:) Alright, we needed that! From No.5
Dock head to 'Luca: City Limits'. After the scene talk with Yuna and then head
off by following the arrow. *Before* you do that, tho', return to Nr.5 Dock and
check the boxes thoroughly. Between some of them is a passage that leads to two
chests containing HP Sphere and Magic Sphere.

'Highroad: South End'
Welcome to the green. You'll be seeing green for a while and I'm not
complaining. A tutor battle awaits you telling you about Auron's specialty.
Talk with people you'll see walking around. Also remember to check every nook
and cranny of the road.
You can find/receive: Hi-Potion, Hunter's Spear, 2x Antidote, Ice Brand. You'll
have a few historical lessons, encounter a few Chocobos (they're big in this
game), find out more about what Crusaders are up to, kill next boss... wait,
that comes later... umm, oh yeah, there's a woman called Belgemine you'll
eventually meet before you leave first part of Highroad. She'll challenge Yuna
to a game of Tetris. Jes, aj spik ruski. BTW, this isn't in Russian.

DAA: Fireward, Iceward, Lightningward, Waterward
----------------------------------------------------------------------------SENSOR: Vulnerable to darkness.
SCAN: Stick with piercing weapons until you knock him over. After he says
'You're next!' he'll unleash a powerful attack. Casts Blizzard when HP is low,

so stay warm with NulFrost.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------a) 'Rush attack' - GRATTP VS all chrs - phd - tears off 18,75% of current HP
b) You're next! - charge turn for Fist of Fury attack
c) Fist of Fury - VS one chr - high phd - requires one turn to charge
d) 'Smack' - VS one chr - phd
e) Blizzard - CATT & IATT VS one chr - ice mgd
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | An interesting battle. It's comprised of five 'slots'. From left to
right, your party fills second slot, whilst CE fills third slot. If CE manages
to push you out of first slot, you lose. If you manage to push CE out of fifth
slot, you win. You also win if you defeat CE the normal way. Let's talk
strategy now. Its normal attack deals around 300 damage to single chr. However,
if you see 'You're next!' appear on screen, prepare to heal or revive that
character on boss' next turn, as CE will unleash Fist of Fury, which deals up
to 1000 damage. If you can use Provoke already, you will never see 'You're
next!' and Fist of Fury.
Having HP at about 500 is recommended, as you won't need to revive the chr who
might get hit with normal attack. Of course, if chr is going to be hit with
Fist of Fury, let that chr take it.
'Rush attack' can't kill you, as it deals damage based on your current HP, but
it can knock you off the cliff, so either you knock CE off the cliff or defeat
it. Lastly, when CE is on its back and if it has less than 45% HP, CE can cast
Blizzard as a counter at one chr when attacked. For as long as CE is standing,
it is armored, so only Piercing weapons do full damage. For as long as it's
decked, it takes normal damage from any chr's physical attack.
As CE is vulnerable to fire, you might want to employ Lulu. Have her use Fire
(or Fira, if you've already gained at least 27 Sp. L. for her). Have Tidus cast
Haste on the party, and Slow on CE (you'll need about 35 Sp. L. for Tidus to
reach Slow, but it's worth it, believe me). Wakka will also be useful in this
battle. Have him use Dark Attack or Dark Buster (you need about 38 Sp. L.).
Auron? Power Break is very useful.
You need to deal at least 1201 damage (not necessarily in one attack) to
Chocobo Eater for it to fall over. Once you do that for first time, you could
use the free turns to Cheer and Focus. Then when it's on the ground, deal at
least 501 damage (not necessarily in one attack) to it and you'll push it back
one slot. Watch out for this: when CE is down and if it has 4500 or less HP,
it'll counter with Blizzard whenever attacked.
It's a bit funny when you manage to push CE off the cliff, but it's not worth
the effort IMO. Actually, I correct that: if you push CE off the cliff, you'll
receive 2x Lv.1 Key Sp., which I cannot seem to obtain if I kill CE the normal
way.
It's okay if you lose the battle by being pushed off the cliff, but it's not
okay if you lose the battle by having all of the party KO-ed. It'll be Game
Over for you, so careful.
* - You're awarded 2x Lv.1 Key Sp. only if you manage to push CE off the cliff.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------If you lose by accident, you'll continue on 'Highroad: Oldroad, South'.
You get a free ride if you won. Ride off into the sunset with Billy the Kid on
the back...
'Highroad: Newroad, South'
Nothing at all. Just go forward.
'Highroad: Newroad, North'
Don't run all the time. Go slower and look for small yellow stripes on the
ground - these are chocobo feathers. There's aren't many, but they do lead to
some treasures. There's one in this part - it leads to Heat Lance. Back on the
road look for Vol. IX *KEY ITEM* lying on the road.

'Highroad: North End'


You've reached the end of Highroad. Kick the chest for 2x Hi-Potion. Take a
right to enter Oldroad...
'Highroad: Oldroad, North'
Look carefully for feather - it leads to Thunder Blade and Scout.
'Highroad: Oldroad, South'
Feather here leads to Fortune Sphere. At the end of Oldroad you'll find a chest
with Mars Crest *KEY ITEM*.
Return all the way back to the last crossroads. Dismount Chocobo as you can't
take it any further. Laugh at Dona's incompetence (heh, serves you right, you
witch). Approach the carriage until it goes away. You can talk to Clasko here
and he'll wonder where Elma and Lucile are. You'll be given the option of
helping him look for them (carriage led by Gatta and Luzzu must be gone) or
letting it be. I don't know yet what kind (if any at all) of consequences it
might have to help Clasko out. Talk with everybody and then try going north (as
the screen shifts, talk with person in lower left corner and decide how much
you'd like to donate, if anything at all - depending on donation, you'll get an
item (for 100 gil Scout, for 1000 Ice Lance and for 10000 Moon Ring). You won't
be able to go thru as well. As you try to go back, someone will make the guards
let you thru.

QUICK TIP: If haven't done so already, have Lulu learn her Lv2 element spells:
Fira, Blizzara, Thundara and Watera.
QUICK TIP: You should train up Yuna until she learns Cura.
'Mushroom Rock'
On this road your path further north will be blocked by Clasko guy who insists
it's too dangerous to go forward. Yeah right. Talking with people will nab you:
Remedy, Ether, Hi-Potion, 2x Phoenix Down. Backtrack a bit to where you entered
Mushroom Rock - there will be a guy who hands over Tough Bangle (HP+20%, 1 FS).
After all this you'll need to take the left path.
'Mushroom Rock: Valley'
Person here will give you Hi-Potion. Then use the platform. After a lot of zigzaging (during your trip thru here find/receive: 10x Potion, 1000 Gil,
Remedy, Hi-Potion). You'll reach next platform.
'Mushroom Rock: Precipice'
In new area find your way around. Find/receive: X-Potion, Serene Armlet, 400
Gil. Taking a big curve you'll see on the map leads to Vol. X *KEY ITEM*.
Take another platform up. You'll get Mega-Potion from guy closest to mechanical
lift. Go past the save point for a bit of story. Then use the lift.
'Mushroom Rock: Plateau'

Nothing of interest. Proceed right.


'Mushroom Rock: Ridge'
Talk to Gatta and choose whatever you wish. Talk to him again, again choose
whatever you wish. You'll meet an old friend of Auron's. When done chatting,
save. Loot two chests here for Serene Bracer and Mega-Potion. Look for the
person on extreme right and say 'Yes'.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------a) 'The arms regenerated!' - after few turns in which Gui is without its arms
pass, they will regenerate
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | Looks intimidating, but fear not! Another boss with set patterns of
moves, hehe. Gui will alternate between 'Punch' (deals about 600 damage) and
Demi. Head will go like this: Thunder (deals about 180 damage), 'The head is
moving suspiciously!' and Venom (500 damage, unblockable, Poison).
Anytime when head starts to move, hit it with anything that flies at a
distance, ie Wakka's ball or Lulu's magic. Note that Auron's Dragon Fang will
not stop the head. Strange indeed (thanks to Gestahl for this). Doing this will
forfeit it's next turn. Otherwise you'll get hit by Venom, and damage dealt
can't be halved in any way. Hitting the head when it's twitching will reset
head's pattern to Thunder on next turn. Get rid of the head completely to stop
the annoying Venom.
Gui hits hard, so you should have your HP above 1000. Yuna's Cura will help you
much - I hope you listened to my advice and had her learn it? And Gui is immune
to Slow and Delay skills.
As the battle starts, cast Haste at everyone that'll participate - I'd
recommend Tidus, Yuna and Lulu. Tidus will provide Haste for members who might
get knocked out. Yuna will heal members or revive them. Meanwhile Lulu will
barrage Gui with spells.
Take note that physically attacking Gui at any time with at least one arm still
alive will not be a good idea - arm/s will move in the way and shield Gui.
Damage dealt will be done to Gui, but it won't be much. So get rid of arms
first - either by magic or by using piercing weapons.

over, you'll understand why it had to be you that did the dirty job...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | Same boss as before, only with lesser stats. Gui will alternate
between 'Punch' (deals about 100 damage) and Demi. Head will go like this:
Thunder (deals about 90 damage), 'The head is moving suspiciously!' and Venom
(200 damage, unblockable, Poison).
Anytime when head starts to move, hit it with ????'s magic. Doing this will
forfeit it's next turn, which would be Venom and damage dealt can't be halved
in any way. Gui doesn't hit hard anymore. ????'s healing magic will take care
of tight situations.
Strategy is pretty much the same as in previous fight, only things different
are members you're using and boss' stats.
Take note that physically attacking Gui at any time with at least one arm still
alive will not be a good idea - arm/s will move in the way and shield Gui.
Damage dealt will be done to Gui, but it won't be much. So get rid of arms
first - either by magic or by using piercing weapons.
When summing everything up, this battle isn't hard at all, esp of certain chr's
stats. So what else remains? Winning!

LEVEL 3: Djose Temple Cloister of Trials
****************************************
LEVEL 3 PRIZE: Magic Sphere
DJS - Djose Sphere
GS - Glyph Sphere
DS - Destruction Sphere
STEP 1: In this pic a part of first room is shown. R1 marks a recess in which
DJS1 is inserted. Remove it and stick it in left recess found on the doors
(marked with X).
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/dtemple01.jpg
STEP 2: Repeat the exercise. Remove DJS1 inserted in R2 recess and stick it in
other recess found on the doors (again marked with X). Doors will disengage the
lock and you're now able to go thru.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/dtemple02.jpg
STEP 3: Lots of spheres again. R3 is a recess with DJS3 inside. R4 has DJS4. P1
is a pillar atop which DJS5 rests.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/dtemple03.jpg
STEP 4: On this pic Tidus is standing between two recesses. Left one is R5,
right one R6. Strange contraption on the ceiling (marked with CON) is
activated...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/dtemple04.jpg
STEP 5:... by removing DJS3 from R3 and inserting it into R5. Similarly remove
DJS4 from R4 and insert it into R6. Contraption is activated!
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/dtemple05.jpg
STEP 6: For what purpose? For that stand on the left of pillar (marked as P1)
and push it to the right all the way you can. Contraption will electrify DJS5.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/dtemple06.jpg
STEP 7: At the opposite end of contraption is shining glyph. Step on it.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/dtemple07.jpg
STEP 8: Pillar (P1) will return to original position with charged DJS5 atop.
Remove DJS5 and insert it into R4. Doing this will remove the door to the left,
allowing access in further depths of Djose temple.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/dtemple08.jpg
STEP 9: Electrifying! To get across, do the following: Remove DJS3 from R5 and
insert it in either one of recesses found on top of pillar (P1). Remove DJS4
from R6 and insert it in other recess found on pillar (P1). After all of this
pillar should be in such position...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/dtemple09.jpg
STEP 10: Stand below it and push it up until it falls in the chasm. Magically

it'll float back up... (red X shows position of pillar, which is otherwise not
to be seen in this pic)
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/dtemple10.jpg
STEP 11: Approach the chasm and Tidus will jump across. E1 marks a device near
which you need to press X in order to activate it (you'll find a bunch of them
later). So do that.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/dtemple11.jpg
STEP 12: After this jump back across. Step on shining glyph again (look at step
7 pic if you forgot its location). Pillar (P1) returns to its position. Remove
DJS3 from atop of it and insert it into R1 (step 1 pic!). DJS4, when removed
from pillar, must be inserted into R2 (step 2 pic!). On this pic you see Tidus
standing in corridor with two white lines (L1 and L2), one on each side. This
means you have successfully completed this exercise.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/dtemple12.jpg
STEP 13: Only one part of picture remains to be completed. Remove charged DJS5
from R4...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/dtemple13.jpg
STEP 14:... and relocate it to R3. Pillar will disappear and will instead be
replaced by a lift.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/dtemple14.jpg
STEP 15: What's that shining on the wall? Near shining glyph you will notice an
insignia that glows every so often. Examine it and touch the glyph.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/dtemple15.jpg
STEP 16: Weeee. Destruction Sphere!

STEP 17: Once you have it, board the lift shown on step 14 pic and up you go.
On this pic you have E2, E3, E4, E5 and E6 (E2 and E6 I wasn't able to capture
onto pics... they are located behind corners - E2 on left, and E6 on right).
Approach all five of them and press X to activate them. Once they shoot down,
final steps will become exposed and another pillar shall also arise (marked as
P2).

STEP 19: Where wall previously existed, there's now a chest with Magic Sphere.
Congrats, for you just broke another Destruction sigil...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/dtemple19.jpg
... now all that is left is ascending the stairs to your left.
You've reached the Antechamber. Talk to your members until they repeat
themselves. Try to exit and Yuna pops out. Pick another name, then go to sleep.
When you control Tidus again, head back to the shop. There's a chest with
Switch Hitter. Back outside talk to everybody. Now enter the temple and enter
leftmost room. Yuna is knocked out on the bed. Talking to the person next to
her will prompt Yuna to wake up. Then head back to Djose Highroad. This time
people on Pilgrimage Road will hand over items if you stick 'em up... I mean
talk to them: Halberd, 2x Hi-Potion, 10x Potion. If you return all the way back
to screen 'Mushroom Rock: Aftermath', you'll find a destroyed pieces of some
machine in lower left of that screen. Climb the boxes near it and walk to the
next screen. Chest you'll encounter contains 4x Soft.

SCAN: After rising, it releases Depth Charges, inflicting darkness and damage
on Tidus and Wakka. Hurt it as much as you can to bring it back down.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------a) Aqua Shooter - WATT VS one chr - water mgd
b) 'Readying Depth Charges' - signifies charge turn for 'Depth Charges'
c) Depth Charges - STATT VS all chrs - std + Darkness (inflicted for three
chr's turns)
d) 'The Extractor comes back down!' - after dealing 500 damage to Extractor
during its raised state, it'll come back down
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | Yay? An underwater battle again with only two characters. One of
priorities you have to give most importance to is keeping your HP at about 500
or higher. Why? Aqua Shooter deals around 200 damage. Depth Charges deal about
350 damage to each character, on top of it inflicting Darkness.
As the battle starts, have Tidus cast Haste on both himself and Wakka. Slow
works on boss, as do Delay skills! Extractor will use two turns for Aqua
Shooter. On third turn it'll rise, and on fourth turn it'll release Depth
Charges. During boss' third and fourth turn try your hardest to inflict at
least 500 damage to boss, as you'll bring it back down, thus disabling its
chance to use Depth Charges and resetting its attack pattern to Aqua Shooter,
Aqua Shooter, 'Readying Depth Charges', etc...
If somehow you're too late or don't deal enough damage, use Eye Drops to heal
Darkness you might've been inflicted with. Otherwise use Hi-Potions you might
have left. By Hasting your chrs and Slowing the boss (at least Haste is
recommended to have already) your odds can increase greatly in this battle.
Remember to attack as much as you can during its raised state and you will win
easily.
ADDITIONAL STRATEGY:
See two Aqua Shooters and allow the boss to rise - naturally, don't forget to
hit the boss. Just before Extractor is about to use Depth Charges, have Tidus
use Provoke on Extractor. It'll come back down and two messages will pop up.
'The Extractor is provoked!' and 'Aqua Shooter damage increases!' Don't be
alarmed at the latter message, this is actually better that getting hit with
Depth Charges. AS' damage increases only by 50% anyway, so why worry? Provoked
Extractor will use two powered-up AS. After it has done so, first turn
Extractor gets after that, two new messages appear. 'The Extractor cools down'
and 'Aqua Shooter damage decreases'. Cool! From now on you'll see regular
pattern: AS, AS, rise, Depth Charges, repeat. Just remember to use Provoke
before Depth Charges phase and you win.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------'Moonflow: North Wharf'
Talk to everybody and head left. On this screen pick up Vol. XII *KEY ITEM* it's a bit hard to see. Left. Open the chest for Ether. Left again.

Recognize this person? I bet you know what follows. Yep, a tutor battle.
the chest for 4x Antidote. Proceed north. I've received an excellent tip
GamerZombie666 regarding Rikku. Once you regain her back when crossing a
body of water on a certain animal, you'll see that she starts very close

Open

Reflect on the standard SG - there's only a matter of Lv.2 Lock in the way.
First Lv.2 Key Sp. you can obtain after getting Rikku permanently is after
beating Spherimorph boss in Macalania woods. So save Rikku's SLVL until after
beating boss mentioned, then use her SLVL to move over SG toward Reflect node,
use newly gained LV.2 Key Sp. to remove Lv.2 Lock and Reflect is yours. It will
prove mightily useful for later battles.

There're two chests you can loot for Mega-Potion and Elixir. One of the houses

and open the chest for 2x Hi-Potion. Approach the big doors, then enter them.
Talk to your members, then listen to more convo.
Exit the manor, and go a bit down. Yuna is all mine, you know! Head for the
Farplane. On screen 'Road to Farplane' there's a chest with 8x Lightning
Marble. Go north. Chat, chat again, the go thru the portal. Talk to Wakka, then
Lulu, then Yuna. At this point Brotherhood weapon for Tidus is upgraded with
following abilities: Str+5%, Str+10%, Waterstrike, Sensor.
Exit the Farplane and approach the manor. Chat. Go down the slope and talk to
Lulu again and again (or if Rikku's affection for Tidus is higher, you'll have
a chat with Rikku). Then try to exit Guadosalam in direction of Thunder Plains.
Go back to front of the manor. Finally you can leave.

'Thunder Plains: South'
Don't worry if lightning strikes you. It doesn't cause any damage to you.
You will see a bunch of strange stones that glow with a picture of Cactuar.
Press *Square* button in front of three such stones (when they're glowing) to
be able to encounter Qactuars. If Wakka's Acc and Str are high enough, he will
hit and kill one with ease. Steal few Chocobo Feathers from them. They'll be

useful later. I also recommend trying to dodge 20 lightning bolts. Once you do
this, there will be a chest containing 2x MP Sphere in front of Rin's Agency
which is located just further ahead. Chests in this area on the left contain:
2x Phoenix Down, 5000 gil and 2x Hi-Potion. On the right side you'll find a
chest with Water Ball (this one is hidden in an 'alcove' you'll see in
minimap). You must go all the way north until a cutscene...
'Thunder Plains: Agency Front'
Talk to Rikku.;) Enter the Agency. Talk to everybody (do NOT follow Yuna yet!)
and Rin will show up eventually. Pick the first option and you'll receive Vol.
XIV *KEY ITEM*. Follow Yuna. After the scene talk to Rikku. There's also a book
with a hint about Cactuar stones you saw outside, which is located on the
counter between save sphere and Mifurey (Rin's attendant in this Agency).
Outside pick up Yellow Shield, then proceed north.

f) Blizzard - IATT VS one-all chr-s - ice mgd - used as counterattack in
certain situations
g) Press - GRATTP VS all chrs - phd - tears off 50% current HP
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | Challenging boss indeed, but not hard to defeat. Characters to be
brought into this fight are Tidus, Yuna and Lulu (hopefully you've learned her
Lv2 spells already).
First cast Haste on all three so you'll get more turns in. Have Yuna defend for
the time being. Have Lulu use Focus a few times to increase Mag and Mdef. It's
also recommended to bring in Auron for one turn and use Power Break on
Spherimorph - doing this will halve the damage Spherimorph is doing with Press
- instead of 50% it'll rip off 25% current HP. At any time Spherimorph is weak
to one element, and absorbs other three elements. Example: Boss is weak to
fire, but absorbs other three.
Now when Tidus is done inflicting Haste, have him attack Spherimorph with a
physical attack (make sure he doesn't have a weapon with element attack
equipped) and take note with which spell boss will counter. If it's Fire / Ice,
this means that boss is vulnerable to ice / fire element. If it's Water /
Thunder, this means that boss is weak to lightning / water.
Okay! Now that you've seen what magic boss has used as a counter, have Lulu
cast the correct countermeasure - so if boss used Fire, have Lulu use Blizzard.
Boss will use Elemental Shift - its weaknesses will change. I tried figuring
out if it has a certain pattern which dictates what will be its next elemental
weakness, but it turned out that it's completely random. One last note:
Spherimorph *doesn't* always start with Fire spells. First spell it'll use
against you is completely random.
Again have Tidus attack Spherimorph, memorising which spell it'll use. Then
have Lulu use the right counterpart. Rinse and repeat. Should somehow your HP
get low... that's why Yuna is here for.
Let's assume Spherimorph is currently using Fire. Here's description on how it
will act (re-apply for other element magic):
- if attacked with fire, water or lightning based attacks (these are all
elements boss currently absorbs), boss'll counter with that Fire spell cast at
whole party; it'll also counter like that if non-element magic (healing, for
example) is used on it
- if attacked with physical, boss counters with Fire cast at the attacker
- on boss' turn, it'll use 'Slam', which deals about 200 damage, or Press
Note: Funnily this boss can be Zombied. Too bad you don't have that ability by

now... unless you were really leveling up.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------You'll get Jecht's Sphere *KEY ITEM*.
'Macalania Woods: Lake Road'
Back on track. Save. Then proceed north as usual. Check your equipment and see
if you have weapons with Lightningstrike ability for Wakka, Auron and Tidus. If
not, I suggest returning to Thunder Plains and steal some items that allow you
to customize weapons with Lightningstrike.

Immune to SCAN!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------a) 'Negator disables all magic and summoning!' - if Negator is present in
battle, no chr can use magic based attacks nor can aeons be summoned
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | Although by taking a look at boss' HP it may seem a hard boss, it's
not. Use Wakka, Auron and Tidus. Got lightning based weapons in your stock?
Good, unload at the boss until it bites the dust. If you don't have these, it's
quite alright, but the battle will take longer.
Why is this better strategy than getting rid of Negator?
- boss counters almost every attack with Assault, which deals about 800 damage
to attacker
- on each fourth turn it'll use Mana Beam, which deals about 1300 damage to all
chrs (you can check how many turns left by blinking lights on boss' turret gun)
- I'd rather get hit by Gatling Gun (with Negator around), which hits 8 times,
but it deals less damage than single Assault (each hit scores for about 50
damage)
- plus boss doesn't counter at all with Negator around
Lastly, use Hi-Potions to heal yourself when need be.
ADDITIONAL STRATEGY: Start battle with Tidus, Wakka and Auron. Have Wakka
attack Negator until it's killed. For that time being have Tidus and Auron
attack Crawler or heal if wounds get severe (if you wish, use Tidus' Cheer to
increase Str and Def). Once Negator is down, swap Wakka for Lulu and Auron for
Yuna. Now Crawler starts countdown to Mana Beam and will *not* attack for three
turns. Mana Beam is released on fourth turn. Tidus now casts Haste at all
three, and (if possible) Slow at Crawler. As Scan indicates, Crawler spits out
another Negator once Crawler has been hit with four magic attacks. All three of
your chrs are now getting two turns in a row before Crawler gets one (or even
up to four turns per one Crawler's in case you Slow-ed it down). Your main goal
here is to have Lulu throw four magic attacks at Crawler as quickly as she can.
Heal her each time she will get countered by Assault. It's also a good thing to
cast Yuna's protective spells on the party, if she has learned them already.
Once that is accomplished, another Negator pops out. Swap to your original
team: Lulu and Yuna out, Auron and Wakka in. Crawler will continue countdown to
Mana Beam, but when it reaches the time to be released, nothing will happen cos
of Negator around.:) Again have Wakka attack Negator until it's down, Auron and
Tidus attack Crawler... etc etc. Simply rinse and repeat and you will win with
no difficulties. If Rikku had stolen any elemental-based items so far, you can
have her use them on Crawler - highly recommended are Electro Marbles.

BIG TIP: If Rikku got lucky and she stole Silver Hourglass from one of these
enemies: Lamashtu or Vouivre, have her use it on Crawler. Slow effect works
100% of the time, unless the fiend is immune to it.

STRATEGY | First things first! Use Tidus, Yuna and *Rikku*. As battle starts,
Guado Guardians will cast Protect on themselves and S. will Shell himself. Have
Yuna use Trigger Command Talk (talk to enemy). Doing this will increase her
Magic Def for 10 points (same for Wakka, but I don't find him useful for this
fight). Choosing Talk for Tidus will increase his Str for 10 points. Even if
KO-ed, stat increases remain in effect for duration of this battle. As usual
cast Haste on all three chrs. Meanwhile have Rikku Steal from Guado Guardians
to stop them using Auto-Potion.;) Once she stole from each one once, swap her
for Lulu (Haste her as well) and use Lulu's Focus a few times.
GG are susceptible to Armor Break. But *even* if Auron uses Armor Break on each
once, there still won't be any efficient increase in damage you do.
Now one thing to memorize is that S. uses element magic in certain order,
starting with ice. It goes like this: ice, lightning, water, fire. So each turn
before S. gets to act, have Yuna cast respective NulElement on party, ie if S.
is about to use Fira, cast NulBlaze. Otherwise S.'s spells deal around 600
damage a pop.
Beware of Guado G.'s Shremedy - it inflicts Confusion. Either hit Confused chr
or use Remedy on it. On turns Yuna gets to 'waste' have her cast Shell on your
members if you have it by now. Use magic attacks on Guado G. until they're
gone. Next use physicals against S. until his HP fall below 3000, at which
point reinforcements will arrive.
I hope you have lots of Phoenix Downs. Don't bother casting Haste over chr
you'll revive as they may just get knocked out again. Instead keep attacking
S.'s new ally. Her Pain carries Death, but it cannot bypass Deathproof (found
out with help of AR2, don't worry about it). If her Overdrive gets full, summon
an aeon to shield yourself from Oblivion, which deals massive damage.
Personal observation: I've seen some strategies about summoning new Aeon and
using Heavenly Strike in order to delay next turn of this enemy. This is a bad
suggestion. Why? First it delays new aeon's next turn a bit (you know, being a
special attack) and second, this enemy is immune to Delay skills.
Take a look. She mostly uses Boost. Now what does Boost do if you choose that
command for your aeons? That's right, damage done to them is greater. Same
applies here. Remember to summon an aeon if Overdrive is imminent! Tidus' Slice
& Dice might come in handy.
Once she is disposed of, S. steps back into the fray, mightily improved. His HP
is restored and he now casts Multi version spells that hit two chrs at once.
Plus they're almost three times stronger. If only one is alive, that chr will
get double dose. But again he goes in known order of ice, lightning, water and
fire - so Yuna again to the rescue. He will start with whatever element was
last used before he summoned. Recast Haste on Yuna is she's too slow to keep up
with S. He also falls easily to Slow and is susceptible to Magic Break. With
no-one to shield him now he bites the dust.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Save your game. Go left. Now you really have to do that dang Cloister of
Trials...
********************************************
LEVEL 4: Macalania Temple Cloister of Trials
********************************************
LEVEL 4 PRIZE: Luck Sphere
MS - Macalania Sphere
GS - Glyph Sphere
DS - Destruction Sphere
STEP 1: Wow... it's a long way across. And a long exercise awaits you, too.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple01.jpg
STEP 2: Stop for a while at this screen. I need to explain few thingies. R1 is

a recess with MS1. R2 is recess with MS2. P1 is pillar with one recess atop of
it. R3 marks a recess with GS. SG1 marks shining glyph we'll use few times.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple02.jpg
STEP 3: See pillar (P1)...?
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple03.jpg
Stand on its left and push it into an iceberg (marked with IC1). After this
push, stand below pillar and push it up into another iceberg (IC2). Pillar will
slide down the slope past R1.
STEP 4: Picture should look like this now, if you successfully got rid of both
icebergs.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple04.jpg
STEP 5: Let's beging inputting those spheres. First remove GS from R3.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple05.jpg
STEP 6: Go past R1 down the icy slope. You'll reach lowest level of this
Cloister and bump into pillar (P1), but that doesn't interest us yet. Go as far
left as you can and insert GS into far-left recess found on wall. You'll know
you hit the right one if a portion of the floor rises on upper level.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple06.jpg
STEP 7: Back on middle level approach newly discovered recess. Surprise,
surprise. MS3... remove it.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple07.jpg
STEP 8: Back on lower level you may have noticed two bottom parts of two of
three huge pillars that supported ice path which crumbled away once you tried
to exit the temple after you defeated last boss. One is very close to recess
into which you inserted GS and the other is all way to the right. Left hugepillar-bottom part has a recess. Into this recess insert MS3. One third of path
is created.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple08.jpg
STEP 9: Back on middle level take out MS2 from R2.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple09.jpg
STEP 10: Back on lower level insert MS2 into free recess found on top of pillar
(P1).
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple10.jpg
STEP 11: After MS2 is in, push this pillar to the right. It'll slide right
under huge-pillar-bottom part and create second third of path. It must look
like this...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple11.jpg
STEP 12: Back on middle level remove MS1 from R1.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple12.jpg
STEP 13: Finally insert MS1 into R3. Path complete!
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple13.jpg
STEP 14: Once you're back to the top... hm, another shining glyph? What does it
do? Step on it.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple14.jpg
STEP 15: Oooops. But it is necessary if you want to break Destruction sigil for
this temple. *Push* pillar (P1) that materialized near you down the slope. Do
not remove MS2 from the pillar! Pillar'll be shot across into some light

beam...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple15.jpg
STEP 16:... see the light? MS2 became DS. Step on SG (shining glyph, if you
forgot).
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple16.jpg
STEP 17: At same level remove MS1 from R3.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple17.jpg
STEP 18: Insert MS1 into R1 to create a path to lower level.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple18.jpg
STEP 19: Remove DS from pillar (P1) that teleported to its default position.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple19.jpg
STEP 20: Go down onto lower level (we recreated the path). I'm sure you've
noticed another recess to the right of recess we fed earlier with GS. This
recess can be fed with DS...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple20.jpg
STEP 21: A part of floor will crumble away, revealing chest with Luck Sphere.
You also broke Destruction sigil for this temple as well.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple21.jpg
STEP 22: Remove DS from recess you put it into.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple22.jpg
STEP 23: Return DS onto its original position on pillar (P1).
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple23.jpg
STEP 24: Retrieve MS1 from R1...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple24.jpg
STEP 25:... and put it into R2.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple25.jpg
STEP 26: Return to top floor and step on this shining glyph again.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple26.jpg
STEP 27: Familiar? As before do not remove DS! Push pillar down the slope.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple27.jpg
STEP 28: Go down the slope on middle level and approach SG. Also step on it. DS
changed back into MS2.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple28.jpg
STEP 29: Again stand on pillar's left and push it to the right.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple29.jpg
STEP 30: Remove MS1 from R2.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple30.jpg
STEP 31: Insert MS1 into R1.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple31.jpg
STEP 32: Now stand below pillar and push it up, so that is slides to lower
level.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple32.jpg

STEP 33: Go after the pillar to lower level. Push it to the right, just like
before. Second third of path is again created.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple33.jpg
STEP 34: One last touch... remove MS1 from R1.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple34.jpg
STEP 35: Insert MS1 into R3...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/mtemple35.jpg
... and you're home free. Just be careful that you don't step on shining glyph
found on upper level, otherwise you'll have to do some stuff again! Proceed
north to exit this Cloister.

times or so), you can just flee.

SCAN: Try to stop him from healing himself with Auto-Potion. He sometimes casts
Berserk on other enemies, making them stronger.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------a) Protect - on Wendigo - physical damage is halved
b) Shell - on Wendigo - magical damage is halved
c) Auto-Potion - CATT on oneself - any type of attack is done on Guado G.,
it'll heal himself for 1000 HP
d) Berserk - on Wendigo - this will increase Wendigo's Str - each turn Wendigo
doesn't spend in Berserk, Guado G. may try inflicting Berserk on it again
e) Thundara - LATT VS one chr - lightning mgd
f) Blizzara - IATT VS one chr - ice mgd
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | Ouch. Wendigo's Punch under Berserk deals about 2500 damage.
Otherwise you're looking at around 1800 damage when not under Berserk. Yet
again you have annoying Guado G. to deal with. First have Rikku steal from them
so they can't use Auto-Potion anymore. Then have Tidus cast Haste on himself,
Wakka and Yuna. When this is done, use Wakka's Dark Attack (or Buster, if
you're that far) on Wendigo to blind it, thus decreasing its chances to hit
you. Meanwhile have Yuna cast Protect on Tidus (switch him out and bring Auron
in), then Wakka, then Auron. On Yuna's next turn switch her out and bring Tidus
in. Now lastly cast Haste on Auron and you're set.
With Auron Power Break Wendigo. Wakka should keep using Dark Attack or Buster.
Use Tidus to dispose of Guado G. You can also Threaten Wendigo, freezing it up
and forfeiting its next turn.
Once those two are gone, they'll cast Protect and Shell on Wendigo. Just
beautiful. If Yuna is far enough already to use Dispel, then by all means use
it. Or call Ixion and use his Aerospark which carries Dispel effect. Otherwise
battle is still easy, it'll just take longer.
Finally heal that Berserk on Wendigo if it's still affected. Now pay attention.
Keep attacking with Tidus, Auron and Wakka (have the latter use Sleep Attack Buster!) - but as soon as Wendigo puts up its hands - stop. Bring in Lulu and
shell Wendigo to oblivion with her spells. You might also consider bringing in
Rikku and have her Use attack items in your inventory.
Wendigo will alternate between three turns of 'Ready punch' and 'Punch'.
That's all you need to know to kick its ass.

'Oasis'
Yay. Dessert! Not a typo.:) Get out of water, then go back in the water. Get a
chest with 4x Remedy. If you missed Primer I at start of game, you can now find
it to the right of the save sphere in the shades. Let's go for a stroll in
desert. In first battle two others join you. Go up a bit and find third one.
Near is chest with 8x Al-Bhed Potion. Also, if you missed getting Primer III
before, nail it now. It is under the same tent where you found third one.
'Sanubia Desert: East'
On this screen first go right to find fourth one - near this spot you may nail
Primer V, but only if you missed getting it earlier in the game. Then go in
other direction to find fifth one. Nab two chests for 8x Al-Bhed Potion and 2x
Ether. Who's leading the way anyway? A tutor battle will issue introducing how
Rikku can dispose of robotic enemies fast. At intersection leading on the left
is chest with 4x Hi-Potion. To the right of this chest you can nail Primer XIV,
but only if you missed getting it earlier in the game. Follow Rikku into next
section of desert...
'Sanubia Desert: Central'
Kick the chests for: 4x Hi-Potion, 8x Al-Bhed Potion, 2x Mega-Potion and 2x XPotion. Save at save sphere found in this part of desert. Further ahead you
will see a sign saying 'This way to Home.'. Before it is Vol. XVIII *KEY ITEM*.
Backtrack to save sphere and go left. You'll see a lot of ruins. Here you can
find Vol. XVII *KEY ITEM* (inside one of ruined houses) as well as few more
chests with Elixir, Lv.2 Key Sp., 10000 Gil. Continue on to last part of
desert.
'Sanubia Desert: West'
There's a few nice goodies here, but you'll need to defeat their guardians in
sandtraps. Doing this yields 2x Teleport Sphere, 3x Megalixir. In 'regular
chests' you'll find 8x Hi-Potion, Mercury Crest *KEY ITEM*, 3x Mega-Potion, 2x

Win a battle. Then proceed right.
'Home: Main Corridor'
Careful now! First win a battle. Then go down the stairs and when screen

shifts, examine the chest under stream of smoke to your immediate left. You'll
receive 4x Al Bhed Potion. Go back up the stairs you just descended and enter
first door on the left.
'Home: Living Quarters'
Win a battle. Examine the left chest and pick...
First row: Bomb, Elixir, Hi-Potion
Second row: Mega-Potion, Soft, Chimera
Third row: Potion, Remedy, Evil Eye
As you can see, it's a bad thing if you choose either: first choice in first
row, third choice in second row, or third choice in third row. Chest will open,
but you'll have to defeat the respective fiend. The *best* choice is second
choice in first row - you get 1x Elixir.
Then examine right chest. First pick second option in third row, then third
option in second row, then second option in second row. You'll get Friend
Sphere.
There's also Vol. XX *KEY ITEM* to the right of this chest (hard to see, keep
mashing X to pick it up). Exit the room, go down the stairs and go forward. In
chest you'll find 6x Al-Bhed Potion. Backtrack a little and head right.
There's Vol. XXI *KEY ITEM* at the end of this hallway. Then enter door on the

a volley of Guided Missiles for you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------a) Poison Breath - NATT VS all chrs - mgd + Poison - requires one turn to
charge
b) 'Swipe' - VS one chr - phd
c) Photon Spray - NATT VS all chrs - mgd - deals 8 hits between random targets
- used only if ship is far away from Evrae
d) 'Inhale' - signifies charge turn for Poison Breath
e) Haste - CATT on oneself - once Evrae is down to about 40% health, it'll use
Haste on itself - used as counterattack
f) Stone Gaze - VS one chr - inflicts Petrify and Slow (Slow is inflicted
regardless of protections!) - used after Evrae suffers from certain attack
combos (fully explained in strategy)
g) Swooping Scythe - (CATT sometimes) VS all chrs - phd - used if ship is far
away *and* if Evrae is low on HP
h) 'Out of breath range.' - signifies you've successfully evaded Evrae's Poison
Breath
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | Its 'Swipe' will strike for roughly 1200 damage. Photon Spray deals
100 damage per hit. Poison Breath strikes for 1300 damage to all chrs and
inflicts Poison.
If ship is close to Evrae, it'll attack like this - 'Swipe', 'Swipe', 'Inhale',
Poison Breath, repeat. Never use Delay skills on it. Although they work, Evrae
counters with Haste on itself (after three Delay Attacks - after one Delay
Buster). If you're able to keep attacking with Delay Attack/Buster and Evrae
doesn't manage to get a move in, you've just found your victory.
If ship is far away from Evrae, it'll use only Photon Spray. Then later when
it's low on HP (that means it is under 10665 HP and hit Haste phase), it'll be
using Swooping Scythe for about 700 damage to everyone (if ship is far away and
Evrae's turn is not up yet, and you attack it with say Fira, Evrae will
*counter* by using Swooping Scythe... in fact, everything you try to use on
Evrae will prompt it to counter).
Last obstacle fell! I figured out when to expect Stone Gaze move! Hahah,
there's not a secret I cannot uncover *ego-talk*. Shhhh! Anyway, you know
already of Evrae's attack pattern if close to it. But it may happen that
instead of 'swipe'-s you'll see Stone Gaze. Let's say that Stone Gaze has a
counter of six points. Stone Gaze will be used after:
- Evrae has been target of three physical attacks that dealt damage
- Evrae has been target of six magical attacks that dealt damage
- Evrae has been target of say... four magical and one physical attack
- as you can easily see, physical attack adds two points, and magical attack
adds one point to the counter (Special skills do not count)

- Stone Gaze is not used anymore after Evrae used Haste on itself (ie after its
HP falls below 10665)
- I noticed a glitch here: I had Tidus with Ribbon armor be the target of Stone
Gaze. He wasn't petrified, but he was slowed. Even more, I wasn't able to input
anymore commands for him (he wasn't even in ATB bar, heh).
Let's talk strategy - use Tidus, Auron and Lulu for now. Start by having Tidus
cast Haste-ga on party, then using Auron's Mental Break on Evrae, followed by
Lulu's Focus. Take first swipe. Then Auron uses Power Break, Lulu chucks
another Focus and Tidus is switched for Rikku. With her use Silver Hourglass
you might have obtained on your trips so far. If not, select to Pull Back.
About now Evrae will probably inhale. You're set.
Now you'll be shelled continuously with Photon Spray (or get to see a turn of
Evrae missing with Poison Breath) - each chr will take between 300 and 500
damage, but this is nothing dangerous yet. I bet you've accumulated a bunch of
Al Bhed Potions during your desert trip. And it just so happens that Rikku can
use them. So do that. After each Photon Spray have Rikku use Al Bhed Potion.
Meanwhile switch out Lulu and Auron bring in Wakka and Tidus. Tidus Hastes
Wakka and Rikku as well, then have Wakka attack, and Rikku be on healing duty.
Alternatively, have Rikku Mix two Distillers (bought any so far?) to get Mighty
G - this will bestow current frontline party with Haste, Shell and Protect! On
Tidus' next turn switch him out and bring Lulu back.
Now have Wakka attack, Lulu cast spells (or use Focus again for up to 5 times)
and Rikku use Al Bhed Potion after each Photon Spray (or two Photon Sprays in
case you didn't take much damage from first one).
Each turn Cid gets in his ship away from Evrae, he'll use Homing Missiles - 12
hits VS Evrae, each for about 200 damage. It can only do so 3 times, tho',
before running out of ammo. Heh.
After Evrae has 10665 or less HP remaining, it'll use Haste on itself. Photon
Spray is no longer used, instead you face Swooping Scythe (sometimes it is used
as a counter, so watch out - thanks to Gestahl for this). You'll need to get
close and personal! Wakka's Dark Attack will take care of Evrae's 'Swipe' and
Swooping Scythe attacks. As Stone Gaze doesn't deal any damage, you'll only
need to use a Soft or even better, Al Bhed Potion. This item will also heal
your problems after Poison Breath. To negate Evrae's Haste status, you'll need
to Dispel it. If none of your chrs know it, that's quite alright.
Do *not* try to Slow it, as it'll automatically counter with Haste. The *only*
way to Slow it down again is Reflecting Evrae and one of your chrs, then
casting Slow on that reflected chr. Evrae will get Slow and automatically
counter with Haste on itself. Newsflash, hehe. As Evrae is under Reflect, it'll
bounce off and Evrae will remain Slow-ed for remainder of the battle. Do not
remove Reflect! Any action you take against Evrae will prompt it to counter
with Haste on itself. As long as Evrae is under Reflect, you have nothing to
fear.
So, remember to heal Petrify status, to slow Evrae down (at least until Haste
phase) and to heal when necessary!

LEVEL 5: Bevelle Temple Cloister of Trials
******************************************
LEVEL 5 PRIZE: HP Sphere
BS - Bevelle Sphere
DS - Destruction Sphere
GS - Glyph Sphere
STEP 1: This is a general rule. Whenever I say push pillar back, it means
you'll have to push it into the electric (?) current, which will cause pillar
to disappear and form a platform, which Tidus will use to be transported to
various ends. You're currently on level 1. For this pic push pillar ahead. Do
not toy around with BS1 already inserted into it. You won't need it. And any BS
must be inserted into this pillar anyway, otherwise you cannot use it.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/betemple01.jpg
STEP 2: As you see, Tidus is on a green glyph that points out a green arrow.
This green glyph only has one direction. There are green glyphs with two
directions and one with three. Fret not, all will be explained. Press X to be
'shot' in arrow's direction.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/betemple02.jpg
STEP 3: This will be called level 2. There are three green glyphs ahead, marked
with G1, G2 and G3. G1 has directions of forward (leads to G2, G3 and DE) and
to the right (leads to level 3). G2 has directions to left and right. G3 has
directions of forward and backward. DE marks dead end. If you'll be shot into
DE, you won't die, you'll simply reappear a bit before G1.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/betemple03.jpg
Oh yeah, look at green glyphs' arrow directions. For example, if you travel
over G1, Tidus will continue going forward. However, if you travel over G1 and
arrow points to the right as you press X button, Tidus' path will change.
Understood? Okay, aim for G2, direction left.
STEP 4: Retrieve BS2 from recess.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/betemple04.jpg
STEP 5: Push pillar back in and travel thru DE. Now aim for G2, direction
right. Here insert BS2 into the recess.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/betemple05.jpg
STEP 6: Push pillar back in and travel thru DE. Now aim for G1, direction
right.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/betemple06.jpg
STEP 7: This is main green glyph of level 3. I'll mark it as G4. Number 1 marks
right direction, number 2 marks forward direction and number 3 marks left
direction.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/betemple07.jpg
STEP 8: As you arrive onto G4, you have all the time in the world to make a
choice. Choose direction 1!
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/betemple08.jpg
STEP 9: You will arrive onto level 4 platform. Retrieve BS3 from recess.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/betemple09.jpg
STEP 10: Push pillar back and you arrive onto G4 again. Choose direction 2 now
and let it carry you all way to the end, so that you will reappear at G4, as

showed on this pic...


http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/betemple10.jpg
... notice G5 further ahead? It has directions of forward and right. You're
standing on G4 now, so choose direction 2 again. Don't do anything yet.
STEP 11: Showed on this pic are G6 and G7, DE as well. Both G6 and G7 have
direction of forward and right. Fall thru DE to reappear at G4. Aim for G7,
direction right.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/betemple11.jpg
STEP 12: Here insert BS3 into the recess. Push pillar back and fall thru DE.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/betemple12.jpg
STEP 13: Aim for G6, direction right. Remove GS from the recess. Push pillar
back and fall thru DE.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/betemple13.jpg
STEP 14: Aim for G7, direction right. Once you arrive at the place where you
inserted BS3 before, a path was created. Proceed down this path and insert GS
into recess found on invisible wall.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/betemple14.jpg
STEP 15: Retrieve DS. Push pillar back and fall thru DE.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/betemple15.jpg
STEP 16: Aim for G6, direction right. Insert DS into the recess. Push pillar
back and fall thru DE.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/betemple16.jpg
STEP 17: Aim for G7, direction right. Retrieve BS3 you inserted before. Push
pillar back and fall thru DE.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/betemple17.jpg
STEP 18: Aim for G5, direction right. Careful now! Push pillar further ahead
(on this pic this would mean down) to continue.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/betemple18.jpg
STEP 19: Back at level 1, but this time near the exit. Insert BS3 you're
carrying into the recess found up the stairs.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/betemple19.jpg
STEP 20: To your right is a chest with HP Sphere. Congrats, for you just broke
Destruction sigil for this temple. Only one more to go!
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/betemple20.jpg
STEP 21: Step on shining glyph that was below the chest to teleport the pillar
(you were using so far for travelling) near your position.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/betemple21.jpg
STEP 22: Push the pillar to the left. After traversing thru small tunnel,
you'll get Knight Lance. Tidus returns automatically...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/betemple22.jpg
... all that you need to do is to go right past shining glyph to complete this
boring Cloister. Long story sequence.

*****************************************************************************
Ugh, a maze. I hate these. You start with Yuna only (next to a save sphere), so
you need to be careful at least until you collect your reinforcements. In this
small room you'll see a teleporter with blinking arrow. It will blink in one
direction two times, then move one spot counter-clockwise. Let's say arronw is
blinking up (ie north). Step on teleporter at this point and you'll be moved to
another teleporter (tel. from now on).
There's a total of six tel. found in this dungeon:
- first at extreme south (can get to sixth)
- second at extreme east (can get to sixth)
- third at extreme north (can get to sixth)
- fourth at extreme north-west corner (unavailable yet)
- fifth at extreme west (can get to sixth)
- sixth in the middle of the dungeon (can get to first, second, third, fifth)
Furthermore, only one tel. is active at any given time, starting with first
tel. For example, you use first tel. to warp to sixth. Sixth is now the one
active. If you try to use say third tel. to warp to sixth, it won't work.
There's a total of eight rooms you visit during your trek thru Via Purifico:
- first at extreme south (contains save sphere and first tel.); this room is
linked to second, fifth, sixth and seventh
- second at extreme east (contains second tel.); this room is linked to first
and third
- third at extreme north (contains third tel. and save sphere); this room is
linked to second and fifth
- fourth at extreme north-west corner (unavailable yet, but you can't enter it
due to some steel bars blocking the path)
- fifth at extreme west (contains fifth tel.); this room is linked to first,
third and sixth
- sixth at extreme south-west corner (contains tel. release seal); this room is
linked to first and fifth
- seventh in the middle of the dungeon (contains sixth tel.); this room is
linked to first, third and eighth
- eighth to the right of seventh room (contains sealed tel.); this room is
linked to seventh
As I said, you start in first room. Go east to reach second room. In here
you'll find Kimahri, as well as chest with 1x Mega-Potion. Continue up north
and follow the path until you reach third room. Here you'll get Auron back. Go
west now. At next intersection go south (west path is blocked by some bars),
then south again and you will reach fifth room. Taking east tunnel here will
lead you to Lulu and 1x White Magic Sp. chest.
Take south tunnel again, and go south yet again to reach sixth room. In one
corner you will receive 1x Elixir from a friendly chest, in the other examine a
strange glyph... you've broken the seal! Now go north, at intersection go east
and you're back in first room. Go north now to reach seventh room. From this
room take north tunnel again, but at intersection take east path to arrive in
eighth room. Here nail 1x Black Magic Sp., and step on formerly inactive tel.
Sixth tel. will go wacky, destroy the bars blocking access between third and
seventh room, and reposition itself just to the right of fourth room (the one
you cannot get inside because of some bars).
From eighth room go west, at intersection north to arrive in third room. Take
west path now and you will soon find tel. escapee.:) Step on it when the arrow
is pointing west. You're finally inside fourth room. Loot the chests for Lucid
Ring (Silenceward, Confuseward, Poisonward), 1x Skill Sphere, 10000 Gil. When

done, step on tel. when the arrow is pointing east. When warping is complete,
go east to arrive in third room again. Finally take north tunnel... beware, you
cannot escape from random battles inside this red glowing tunnel!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------a) 'Countdown' - uses turns charging for Overdrive
b) Mega Flare - NATT VS all chrs - mgd
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | For starters I suggest getting both Yuna and Bahamut into full
Overdrive. First battle is against Grothia. As it starts with full Overdrive,
*Grand Summon* Bahamut and use Shield. Take about 500 or so damage. Unleash
Mega Flare. Grothia goes aaaargh. If Grothia still lives, finish off with
Impulse. Second battle is against Pterya. Summon Bahamut and have him unleash
another Mega Flare. If this doesn't kill Pterya, later pound away with physical
attacks. Lastly it's Spathi. Easy! It'll use four turns to Countdown to its
Overdrive. I suggest summoning Shiva for she'll most likely be fastest Aeon you
have. Once Spathi's Overdrive is about to hit, use Shield and I guarantee that
Shiva will survive. Then Spathi returns to Countdown... yawn. Kick its ass.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Now it's down to three remaining party members. There's a save sphere on your
left and tresure chest shop on your right (what's a shop doing down here
anyway?). After your stocks are refreshed, proceed east, then north up to the
next save sphere. Oh, an old friend...

SCAN: Beware its Stone Gaze and nasty counter-attacks. Open the gate locks to

go.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------a) Stone Gaze - NATT VS one chr - mgd + inflicts Petrify
b) Photon Spray - NATT VS all chrs - mgd - deals 8 hits to random targets
c) 'Swipe' - (CATT) VS one chr - phd
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | Easy! Just use two Phoenix Downs on Evrae and you win! Why would you
complicate things if you don't have to?;)
Well, it's most likely that Evrae will get first turn, in which it'll use Stone
Gaze. Chances are high you're down by one chr. Still want challenge? Any attack

you do to Evrae, it'll counter with 'Swipe' for about 800 damage. Photon Spray
will hit 8 times, each hit dealing about 100 damage. Two Phoenix Downs is still
fastest way to go. Do not destroy gate locks during battle or you'll miss out
on two counterattack weapons!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Once doors are opened, loot two chests you'll come across for Avenger (CounterAttack) and Rematch (Evade & Counter). Then swim thru the exit...
'Highbridge'
Buy at O'aka. How does this guy know where to be, hehe? Reflect will be
your best friend in the next boss battle! LEARN IT! Enemies here guarantee that
you'll have Yuna learn Reflect faster than a speeding chocobo! After taking a
sprint down the bridge you'll approach a save sphere. Few more steps forward
and...

g) Shattering Claw - VS one chr - phd + shatters target chr if he-she was

h) Cura - on ally - restores medium amount of HP
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | This is entirely a strategic boss battle. Remember last encounter
with this guy? The battle starts with Tidus, Yuna and Kimahri. As soon as
Kimahri gets his first turn, throw him out and bring in Auron. Characters are
set, now let's talk strategy.
First I'll present a three stage overview on how the boss attacks, that looks
like this...
---> Round 1 (Natus' HP range is between 36000 and 24000 HP):
Mortibody - Blizzard / Desperado (in case all three chrs are under Haste)
Natus - Multi-Blizzara
Mortibody - Thunder / Desperado (in case all three chrs are under Haste)
Natus - Multi-Thundara
Mortibody - Water / Desperado (in case all three chrs are under Haste)
Natus - Multi-Watera
Mortibody - Fire / Desperado (in case all three chrs are under Haste)
Natus - Multi-Fira
After this the cycle repeats...
---> Round 2 (Natus' HP range is between 23999 and 12000 HP):
Natus - Protect (triggered by first attack that crosses 24000 HP limit)
Mortibody - Shattering Claw / Desperado (in case all three chrs are under
Haste)
Natus - Break
---> Round 3 (Natus' HP range is between 11999 and 0 HP):
Mortibody - Cura / Desperado (in case all three chrs are under *same* status,
say all three are Protected etc.)
Natus - Flare (good thing about it is great delay of Natus' next turn)
Pay attention on what spell Mortibody uses. It starts with Blizzard. If it uses
Fire (or any level 1 spell for that matter - deals about 250 damage to all
chrs), Natus will use Multi-Fira (hits two chrs for 1400 damage each). So it's
advised that Yuna goes after Mortibody, but before Natus so that she can cast
respective Nul spell. If she can't do that, have her switch weapons or do
anything else that might bring her a turn before Natus gets one.
If you don't want to be bothered by that, Shell all chrs. Heal with help of
Mega-Potions or Hi-Potions. Don't forget to talk to Natus with Tidus and Auron
to increase their Str for 10 points. Cheer will increase Str and Def even more,
while Focus will help increasing Mag and Mdef.
Besides Shell cast Haste on two and only *two* characters. Don't Haste all
three of your chrs, as Mortibody is very allergic to three hasted chrs and will

use Desperado on first turn he gets (in later stages of battle I figured
Mortibody will use Desperado even in cases all three of my chrs are under
Reflect or Protect; however, it won't Desperado if two chr are under Reflect,
and third under Protect; so as long as only two chrs are affected with same
positive status, you're safe from Desperado). Auron is here for physical power
- he'll by far be your strongest character. Don't bother with Break skills as
Mortibody is immune to them, while Natus can only be Power Breaked, but it is
useless, as he doesn't attack physically.
Once Natus' HP is 23999 or less, he'll use Protect. Really? Use Dispel. If you
don't have that, it'll be harder and longer. BIG TIP: Dispel Protect effect by
calling Ixion and using Aerospark on Natus. DO NOT Overdrive. Lately I found
out this: If you 'kill' Mortiorchis, ie freeing it of all its HP, it will drain
HP from its ally. However, if by doing that Natus crosses 23999 HP remaining
limit, he will not use Protect! Or you could reload and fight random enemies
some more on the Highbridge until Yuna learns Dispel. Mortibody and Natus no
longer use element spells in this stage of battle. Now you'll be shelled with
Break, which petrifies one chr. Use Esuna or Soft immediately - do not let
Mortibody get his turn before you. Why? It'll use Shattering Claw, which
shatters petrified chr and removes that chr from battle. Randomly it may happen
that you get lucky and Mortibody uses Shattering Claw against character who
isn't petrified.
After Natus' HP is 11999 or less, he gets to test out Flare - hits for around
2000. Mortibody will now use Cura on its partner. The good thing about Flare is
that it greatly delays Natus' next turn. Recast Shell if it was removed cos of
Desperado (in case you accidentally Hasted all of your chrs) to halve Flare
damage. Also remember to cure the chr that got hit. Attack with the rest of
chrs until Natus bites the dust. Again, hehe.
Summoning Aeons? Go ahead, but note that they'll be Banished immediately, so
bring one in with full Overdrive and fire away.
As I said, Reflect is your best friend in this battle. If you have Yuna cast it
at everybody, it'll bounce back *every* spell Natus will chuck at you,
including Break and Flare! Only way you can get dispeled is Desperado.
Additional strategic tips: Natus can be poisoned. Each turn he'll spend doing
something will rip off 1440 HP. And lastly, if you have Stoneproof armor in
your stock for chr that has Provoke (most likely Tidus) - here's a great tip:
in second part of battle use Provoke with whoever is wearing Stoneproof armor.
Natus will be using Break on that character only (and in third part of battle
Flare). So now you have two free characters which can easily smite down Natus,
while character-who-did-Provoke's only job is healing him/herself.
BIG BREAKTHRU: Poison Natus. And then only heal yourself. DON'T ATTACK HIM AT
ALL COSTS. Whatever you do, DO NOT ATTACK HIM whatsoever during the fight. Nor
try anything else!!! Just leave him alone! When Natus is poisoned, every turn
he'll spend will cause him to lose 1440 HP. Wait 25 turns and he is defeated!
The biggest catch is that even when he's over 24000 and 12000 HP limits, he'll
continue to use Multi-spells. Now if this isn't better than Break and Flare...

*****************************************************************************
Yay. In this area you get to meet the most annoying enemy - Malboro and its Bad
Breath. Yippee. *Equip at least one chr with First Strike weapon - preferably
Tidus.* If you get ambushed by Malboro, you still get first turn with Tidus, so
flee.
When you enter Calm Lands, head left. After the scene go left a little bit
more. Refresh your stock (guy sells glitched Magic Counter shield for Tidus).
In the middle of Calm Lands is another Rin Agency.
There's still more - you'll meet Belgemine again to the left of Agency - this
time after the 'match' you get Aeon's Soul *KEY ITEM*, which allows you to
improve your Aeons' stats. If you win, you'll get 30x Power Sphere as well. If
you get wasted, you receive 30x Speed Sphere instead.

Find a chocobo lady in here somewhere (she's located directly north of Rin's
shop in Calm Lands). At extreme northwest there is Vol. XXIII *KEY ITEM*. Train
a chocobo by completing a first course, then choose to quit.
After you've trained the chocobo, prompt the lady to ride one. Now loot the
chests found in these parts. They contain: Lv.2 Key Sp., 10000 Gil, 5000 Gil.

Go back to where you came to Calm Lands and go right. There's a chocobo feather
in the ground here, that leads to Remiem temple.
'Remiem Temple'
Save at the entrance. Go left and examine sphere on the floor. Further ahead is
Vol. XXIV *KEY ITEM*.
Now go all the way right and mount the chocobo. Win the race with:
- first win will nab Cloudy Mirror *KEY ITEM*
- with one opened chest: Elixir
- with two: Megalixir
- with three: 30x Wings to Discovery!!! This is why we came here!
Forget about Belgemine inside the temple for now and exit this area back to
Calm Lands. Mount the chocobo and use chocobo feather found here.
There's a place called Arena here in the east. I suggest letting it be for now,
but do buy weapons with Capture ability for later usage.
Proceed for northeastern part where the exit is.
'Calm Lands: Near Bridge'
Save.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------SENSOR: Made of stone. Resistant to physical attacks.
SCAN: Boasts very high physical attack and defence. Its counter-attack Blast
Punch delays target and causes damage. Casts Mighty Guard and Slowga.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------a) Blast Punch - CATT & GRATTP VS one chr - phd - tears off 50% current HP +
delays next turn
b) Mighty Guard - on oneself - gains NulAll, Protect, Shell
c) 'Punch' - VS one chr - phd
d) Haymaker - VS one chr - heavy phd
e) Slowga - CATT VS all chrs - inflicts Slow - used as a counter after Defender
X has been a target five consecutive magical attacks, or five items have been
used on it, or after many other possible combos
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | Start the battle with Tidus, Yuna and Auron. Tidus uses Haste/ga
first on all characters (and maybe few Cheers as well), Yuna casts Protect,
Auron uses Armor Break.
Boss will usually physically attack you with 'Punch' for about 1700 damage.
Each fourth turn it will use Haymaker (this attack always connects!) for about
3200 damage. Blast Punch is its countermove - beside ripping off 50% of current
health it also delays target's next turn. Blast Punch is used after any of

following combinations: two physical attacks (rarely three), three magical


attacks, combo consisting of one *or* two magical and one physical attack (and
many more combinations... after figuring out what triggers Slowga counter in
some cases I found it impossible to figure out all examples of triggering Blast
Punch counter). So if you're going physical on it, expect Blast Punch each
second attack you do on it. I've also figured out when to expect Slowga
counter. If you target X with five fire spells consecutively, you'll see Slowga
counter after fifth fire spell you chuck at it. I also managed to be Slowga-ed
after I used three Bomb Cores on DX, among other things.
Easy. Use Provoke with Tidus. DX will only use Blast Punch from now on.
Meanwhile have your chrs bomb away at the boss until it's gone.
Hard. Once Auron has Armor Breaked DX, switch him out and bring in Wakka. Have
him use Dark Attack or Buster on DX to blind it. Its regular 'Punch' will miss
most of the time now. Haymaker can't be avoided. Of course, don't forget to put
Wakka on Haste and Protect. Once done, switch Tidus for Auron and proceed to
pummel at the boss. And how to keep up your HP? With following summary it
should be easy - Wakka keeps using Dark Attack (or Buster, since it will almost
always inflict Darkness), Auron attacks normally, and Yuna is assigned as
healer should some of DX's attacks connect. Absolutely heal before and after
Haymaker. Once DX's HP fall below 25%, it may decide to cast Mighty Guard on
itself (this is also an impossible task, for I cannot figure out what triggers
it). Easy. Just Dispel it.
Armor Break DX again cos Dispel you just use removed Armor Break as well.
Continue as usual and DX bites the dust. But why bother with complicate
strategy when you can just use Provoke with Tidus and boss goes buh-bye before
you know it.

techniques.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------a) Fire Breath - FATT VS all chrs - fire d.

c) Aqua Breath - WATT VS all chrs - water d.
d) White Wind - CATT on all allies - restores HP - used once either Y or B lose
75% of HP
e) Haste - on oneself - adds Haste
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | Long, but easy. For starters, don't physically attack them if
they're both on same Kimahri's side. If you do that, the other one will block
the attack and greatly reduce damage done. I suggest using magical attacks or
attack items from your stock with Use (in case you took Kimahri down Rikku's

path like I suggested). Wait! Don't kill them too fast. Each of these two can
be used to get Kimahri four Overdrives.
One (I'll call him Y-guy) can be Lancet-ed for Stone Breath, Aqua Breath, Fire
Breath and White Wind (White Wind must be used by Y-guy first, otherwise you
won't learn it).
The other (B-guy) has Self-Destruct, Thrust Kick, Doom and Mighty Guard (like
with Y-guy, Mighty G must be used by B-guy first).
Y goes like this: Fire Breath, Bulldoze, Aqua Breath, Bulldoze, repeat. Damage
done ranges from 70 to 120.
B goes like this: Thunder, Bulldoze, Blizzard, Bulldoze, repeat. You're looking
for damage done from 50 to 100.
As the fight progresses, there will be a point at which either Y or B will lose
over 75% of HP. At this point both of them will make an action: Y will use
White Wind and B will use Mighty Guard. Both moves are used as a counter only
once.
Once you kill off Y, B will cast Berserk on himself and only use Bulldoze from
now on. If you kill off B, Y will Haste himself. Don't bother dispelling, as
he'll recast it again. So better idea is to kill off Y first.
In case you accidentally kill either one of them off without learning Mighty
Guard and White Wind, don't reload and try again. Soon thereafter there are
enemies which you can learn these two skills from. All in all, this is not a
hard battle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------After you're done defeating those two suckers (finally, I might add), proceed

You'll find Braska's Sphere *KEY ITEM*. When you run into Wantz, buy Zombie
Ward armors for Yuna and Auron. You should also customize five Zombie Ward
armors by buying respective amount of Holy Waters. After a long trek thru the

g) Slowga - CATT VS all chrs - inflicts Slow
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | This is entirely a strategic boss battle. Start battle with Tidus,
Yuna and Kimahri. Characters are set, now let's talk strategy. First I'll
present a three stage overview on how the boss attacks, that looks like this...
---> Round 1 (Flux's HP range is between 70000 and 52500 HP):
Flux - Lance of Atrophy
Mortiorchis - Full-Life
Flux - Lance of Atrophy
Mortiorchis - Full-Life
Flux - Dispel
Mortiorchis - Cross Cleave
After this the cycle repeats...
---> Round 2 (Flux's HP range is between 52499 and 35000 HP):
Flux - Protect (triggered by first attack that crosses 52500 HP limit)

Flux - Lance of Atrophy


Mortiorchis - Full-Life
Flux - Lance of Atrophy
Mortiorchis - Full-Life
Flux - Dispel
Mortiorchis - Cross Cleave
After this the cycle repeats except for Protect part...
---> Round 3 (Flux's HP range is between 34999 and 0 HP):
Flux - Reflect (triggered by first attack that crosses 35000 HP limit)
Mortiorchis - 'Auto-attack mode'
Flux - Flare on himself
Mortiorchis - 'Ready to annihilate.'
Flux - 'S. watches... and waits.'
Mortiorchis - Total Annihilation
Flux - Flare on himself
Mortiorchis - 'Ready to annihilate.'
Flux - Reflect (if you removed it with Dispel) / 'S. watches... and waits.'
After this the cycle repeats...
Want an easy way? Have Rikku mix 2x Wings to Discovery for Trio of 9999. Attack
8 times and Flux is gone.
Hard, eh? Start with Tidus (Hastega!), Yuna (Reflect!) and Kimahri (Mighty
Guard!). If you Talk to Flux with Yuna, her Mag Def will increase for 10
points. You can increase Kimahri's Str for 10 points by doing the same
(although forget it, cos you need heavy hitters for this battle). Once Kimahri
made his magic with Mighty G., switch him out for Auron. Haste, Protect, Shell
and Reflect him, in that order. Now you're set. Reflect is recommended, but not
necessary - namely, sole purpose is to have it assist you bounce back FullLives that Mortiorchis will be casting at you.
You can easily predict what Mortiorchis will do by following Flux's actions.
Flux will be using Lance of Atrophy two times, then Dispel. The pattern then
repeats itself until his health reaches 52499. Lance deals about 500 damage and
causes Zombie. I hope you bought and customized those Zombie Ward armors. Each
turn you spend not healing Zombie is a good turn. As soon as Mortiorchis gets a
turn after Flux, it'll cast Full-Life on zombied chr, KO-ing him/her. On each
third turn Mortiorchis will use Cross Cleave for about 2500 damage to everyone
- that's why we're Protected. After this turn *heal* everyone up. *Never*
attack Morti. with Delay Attack/Buster or try to cast Slow on it. It won't
work, and it will counter with Slowga (however, I noticed that by 'killin'
Morti., ie forcing it to use Mortibsorption on its ally at least once will
remove Slowga counter).
Then pattern repeats itself. Interesting note - this boss will always go like
this: Flux, Morti., Flux, Morti., Flux, Morti. Even if Flux gets another turn
before Morti., he *won't* do anything productive.
So what to do in this part of battle? First, Haste, Protect, Shell and Reflect
everyone you'll be using. Attack normally until Morti. used two Full-Lives,
meaning it'll use Cross Cleave on its third turn. Before that we must take care
that Flux won't Dispel what we worked hard to achieve. Bring in Wakka and have
him use Silence Attack or Buster on Flux. He won't be able to use Dispel, hehe.
Switch Wakka out and bring back whoever you threw out (Wakka probably isn't
under Protect). Then have everybody Defend - with this (and help of Protect)
damage Cross Cleave does will be lessened by 75%. Okay, you're set until Flux
reaches next phase. It's also recommended to Bio Flux, so he'll get poisoned.
When Flux goes in 52K, he'll Protect himself. Yawn. Use Dispel and no Protect
for him. Later he'll continue to repeat Lance/Full-Life combo, with Cross
Cleave on third turn.
When Flux goes over 50% HP lost - first it'll use Reflect as a counter (use
Dispel!!!), and then use Flare on next turn. If Flux is under Reflect at time
he casts Flare, he'll use it on himself to be reflected at your party. But if
you remove Reflect prior to that... hehehe.;)
First turn Mortiorchis gets after 50% limit, it'll enter Auto-Attack mode. On

second turn it'll be 'Ready to annihilate!'. On third turn you'll get Total
Annihilation. Each character will receive about 4000 damage, 2000 if under
Shell. Then Morti. needs only two turns to get ready for another TA. Also you
won't see Lance of Atrophy anymore, so heal any zombies you still have!
What does Flux do during this time? After TA first turn Flux gets will use to
cast Flare on himself. If he's still Reflected, receive the punishment. If
Reflect is missing, however, he'll nail himself for about 2000 damage. On his
next turn he'll either skip it or Reflect himself again if you dispeled it
before.
Now the only danger that is left is Morti.'s TA. You can take care of Flare by
dispeling Reflect Flux casts on himself, but all you need to do to make it thru
TA is have at least 3200 HP and be under Shell. I guarantee you'll survive.
Even better: A single chr in battle against Flux with 3000 HP, really low Mag
Def and under Shell (Haste is also welcome) will be hit only *five* times. This
means chr will only take 2400 damage or less. This is tried and tested. If you
haven't been neglecting agility, you're bound to kick his ass with only one chr
alive.
Is it still so hard beating this boss?
Oh yeah, in case you'll be summoning Aeons: it's best to hit Flux with their
Overdrives, as he'll Banish them as soon as you throw anything at him.
BIG BREAKTHRU: As with previous fight with this guy, cast Haste, THEN Bio on
him and then STOP ALL ATTACKS ON HIM. Wait 50 turns for him to do his actions each will rip off 1400 of his health, including on turns he skips cos he got a
turn in faster than Mortiorchis. During this time you mustn't do anything to
him, not even Scan him. As soon as you do, bang! He'll start using Total
Annihilation and Flare... but if you don't touch him at all, all you'll be
seeing are Lance of Atrophy, Full-Life, Dispel and Cross Cleave.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Bye! Hope I've seen you one last time. Continue on. Before saving at next save
sphere check between the pillars on the left. You'll find Saturn Crest *KEY
ITEM*. You'll enter...
'Gagazet: Fayth Cluster'
Story. When you wake up, go up, then enter the door. Back outside climb stairs

'Gagazet: Mountain Cave'
Aaaargh. Strategic walkthru goes like this... First go up and then take a left
at intersection.
'Gagazet: Submerged Passage'
At intersection go forward. Hit the centre with Wakka's ball. Collect Lv.1 Key
Sp. Then go back out.
'Gagazet: Mountain Cave'
Proceed up the stairs. At next intersection go left and into the water.
'Gagazet: Submerged Passage 2'
At the end send Rikku in green hole and Tidus in blue hole (in case you don't
get it - colors correspond to chr's color on the Sphere Grid). Collect Fortune
Sphere. Then back you go.
'Gagazet: Mountain Cave'
Return to known save sphere now. At first intersection on Mountain Cave go left
again, then immediately right. Nab Pep Talk. At second intersection I mentioned
earlier now go right. Path leads to Recovery Ring and Return Sphere. Back to
Mountain Cave. At second intersection go left again. Now look for a set of
'stairs' that appeared. Save!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | A boss with set pattern of moves with few distinctions? Yes please!
What to do prior to battle? Get at least *one* armor with Confuseproof (steal
Musks from floating one-eye enemies) - best would be three such armors for
these chrs - Tidus, Yuna, Wakka.
Easy way? Rikku's Mix of two Wings to Discovery for Trio of 9999, which allows
any character to hit for 9999 damage.
Hard way? It's also an easy way, but with a bit of strategy involved. SK opens
the battle by using Photon Wings on its first turn. It causes 1000 damage to
all and sleep, silence, darkness, curse, confusion - you're bound to get a few
of these babies. I don't mind first four, but confusion is an absolute killer,
so I really suggest getting Confuseproof armors.
SK's second and third turn are 'Swipe'-s for about 1300 damage to one chr. On
fourth turn it'll use Mana Breath for 3000 damage to one.
Now it gets annoying. SK's fifth and sixth turns are Curaga on itself. You can
tamper with it a bit and have it cast something else with following actions:
- if you Reflect SK, then it will use Reflect on you in order to be able to
heal itself; not recommended
- if Armor Break is used on SK, it will cast Protect
- if you put additional negative statuses on SK (except Slow!), Armor Break
takes first priority, ie SK will use Protect instead of Curaga; very
recommended

- if under bad statuses, but Armor Break is not included, it will cast Esuna
- it may not necessarily use Curaga, it may choose to use Regen
Does SK have any other attacks in its arsenal? Yep. Sometimes during battle it
may Protect itself (only if Armor Broken) - remove that with Dispel. Yawn.
Lastly you have Tail Sweep. Don't worry, I have it all figured out.;) This is
its nasty countermove - hits everybody for about 600 damage, removes Haste and
delays next turn. If however, you put Blind on SK, chances of Tail Sweep
dealing damage to all chrs in decreased. There's more: it'll be used as a
counterattack to anything that would tamper with SK's HP (White magic, Black,
Skills), but never sooner than third such attack, and never later than sixth
attack. In other words, as soon as you attack SK for third time dealing damage
(up to sixth attack), expect Tail Sweep counter.
Oh yeah, don't try to use Slow on SK by casting it (SK will automatically
counter with Haste). You can inflict Slow on SK only like this... First have
Yuna cast Reflect on SK, then have Rikku follow with Silver or Gold Hourglass
being used on SK. Ta-daah! You just Slowed SK down significantly. Of course SK
will counter by casting Haste on itself, but it will bounce off cos of Reflect
we put into place. Much like Evrae, each and every attack you land on SK will
now prompt it to counter with Haste on itself, hehe. You can toy with him until
it gets down to 19999 HP, at which point it becomes smart enough to cast
Reflect on your party members, and then casting Esuna (or whatever suits the
situation) on that reflected member to heal itself of bad statuses.
So Yuna, Tidus and Wakka. What to do with you three? Tidus casts Hastega for
starters. Yuna follows with Shell on everyone, and Wakka keeps attacking with
Dark Attack or Buster. Wakka uses only Dark Attack or Buster!!! This is to
ensure that you'll never see Curaga. You'll get hit by Photon Wings - use
Remedy, Esuna or whatever is needed to get back in fighting shape (give
priority to confused chrs). Then it's two turns of 'Swipe', which should miss
thanks to SK being blinded. Same goes for Tail Sweep.;) Get Mana Breathed upon.
Heal character that got hit. Wakka still uses Dark Attack. Now if you did as I
suggested, instead of two Curagas you'll see two Esunas. Pattern than repeats
itself... You can help yourself more, if you wish: Using Magic Break on SK will
significantly lower his magic abilities - instead of 9999 HP it will heal
itself for 5000 or so. Mana Breath will deal about 1600 damage. Take note that
casting Dispel removes positive statuses *as well as any Breaks* you already
inflicted on SK. Casting Reflect on SK at start of battle is very helpful as
well - as it'll try to use curative magic on itself (Protect, Regen, Curaga,
Esuna) all of that will bounce of to your chrs (at least until the 19999-HPremaining-point as explained above). This is all you'll have to know to subdue
this sucker.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------SENSOR: Attacks all frontal targets when hit.
SCAN: Attacks all frontal targets when hit. It will plant a Glyph Mine upon a
circle, causing instant KO when detonated. Use the trigger command Move to
transfer to another circle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------a) Berserk Tail - VS one chr - phd + Berserk
b) 'Swipe' - CATT VS three tiles
c) Glyph Mine - plants a mine on two glyphs - if detonated while your chr is
standing on one, this chr is KO
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | His only regular attack is Berserk Tail - does 1000 damage plus
Berserk. That's bad. Anything you do to it will prompt SK to counter with
'Swipe', that covers glyph SK is facing to plus glyphs on right and left, deals
1500 damage to everyone caught in this counterattack. There's six glyphs
surrounding SK. Put your characters with command Move on glyphs 1, 3, 5 or 2,
4, 6. Main thing is that none of your chrs are together. That way SK's counter
won't reach them all.
Lastly, SK may use Glyph Mine on first turn he gets after sustaining damage for
fourth time, on two glyphs, not necessarily ones you're standing on. If you
are, Move away. When Glyph Mine detonates, it's sure KO for chr standing on it.
So what to do? Cure Berserk ASAP (or if you have Berserkproof armor, you have
nothing to worry about). Only attack with your strongest character - Auron is
possibly your strongest one.
Well, bring in Yuna, Tidus and Auron. Hastega and Protect are basically all you
need. And few Esunas on the way. Remember to Move away from glyphs that are
about to explode - check the turn chart in upper right screen to see when
glyph's turn comes up.
Or if you want to play safe... You'll still need to cure Berserk sometimes, but
this way involves aeons. Have Yuna summon an aeon, but don't use aeon's
overdrive. Have aeon attack regularly. It takes SK three turns of doing
'Swipe', and on fourth it'll plant Glyph Mine. If you dismiss an aeon before
that happens, hehehe... (:P at SK) After mine explodes, have Yuna summon again
and repeat until SK is defeated.
Additional strategy: Have a chr with Berserkproof armor and have that chr use
Provoke on Spectral Keeper. Now continuously defend with Provoker while other
two members hack away at the boss until it's dead.

Mind Blast.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------1st form:
a) Blind - CATT VS one chr - inflicts Darkness (inflicted for three chr's

b) Silence - CATT VS one chr - inflicts Silence (inflicted for three chr's

c) Sleep - CATT VS one chr - inflicts Sleep (inflicted for three chr's turns) used as countermove if attacked with Special ability
d) Absorb - GRATT VS one chr - tears off 50% MAX HP and heals Y. for same
amount - used on chr's with most HP
e) 'Punch' - VS one chr - phd - removes positive statuses except Reflect
----------------------------------------------------------------------------2nd form:
a) Hell Biter - VS all chrs - phd + inflicts Zombie
b) Cura - VS one chr - restores medium amount of HP

a) Mega Death - VS all chrs - KO-es all chrs
b) Hell Biter - VS all chrs - phd + inflicts Zombie
c) Mind Blast - NATT VS all chrs - mgd + inflicts Confusion, Sleep, Curse
d) Curaga - VS one chr - restores big amount of HP
e) Absorb - GRATT VS one chr - tears off 50% MAX HP and heals Y. for same
amount - used on chr with most HP
f) 'Punch' - CATT VS one chr - phd - removes positive statuses except Reflect
g) Osmose - VS an Aeon - mgd - MP deducted from Aeon is added to Y. MP
i) Regen - VS one chr - regenerates HP for certain amount of time
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | Get those Confuseproof armors out for one more time. Y. woman is
another boss with set pattern with few exceptions. Only status worth having in
this battle is Reflect.
Round 1: When Y. gets her normal turns, she'll alternate between Absorb and
'Punch'. Absorb removes 50% of MAX HP of chr targeted and gives same amount to
Y., also healing her (remember that it always targets chr with most current
HP). 'Punch' removes any positive status, but it's unable to remove Reflect. It
also deals about 300 damage. Y. also has a countermove for anything you do to
her - Sleep for specials, Blind for physicals and Silence for magic. You could
try zombifying your chrs if you have Zombie Attack - then Y. will kill herself
for the first round.
As battle starts, have Yuna cast Reflect on everybody. Now just proceed hacking
away at Y., laughing as none of her counters will hit you. Remember to heal the
member that gets hit with Absorb with items. Y. dies...
Round 2: Hellbiter will be used straight away. Nothing you can do about that.
*Stay as zombie for this round!* If you cure any / all zombies, you'll just get

Hellbiter-ed again. Waste of time? Certainly.


If all (or at least one member) is zombie, Y. will mostly be using Cura and
Regen. That's bad for zombies, you'll say. Nuh-uh, that's why we have Reflect
on.;) True, it'll heal her (cast Shell on Y. to halve healing effect), but
better that than be dead. So can you use any other status like Haste? Nope.
As soon as you attack Y., she may counter with 'Punch', which removes all
positive statuses except Reflect. Nothing dangerous left here, eh? Keep hacking
away at the boss. If she gets Regened, Dispel it. As long as you deal more
damage to her than she restores each round, you'll be okay. If she happens to
kill one of your chrs, revive that chr ASAP, then heal him/her, and Reflect it.
Also cure all zombies now and restore their health. Next attack Y. uses will
almost surely be Hellbiter, which again puts all three chrs in Zombie. Good
thing? All three are at nearly full HP. After all this Y. dies...
Round 3: Mega Death to all. Zombies too? Nope. Hehe. In this round Y. has a
set pattern - Mega Death, Hellbiter / Curaga / Regen, Hellbiter / Curaga /
Regen, Mind Blast (600 damage to all + Confusion, Curse or Sleep), Hellbiter /
Curaga / Regen, Mega Death, then repeat.
Hellbiter does 250 damage to all chrs. Naturally, keep all chrs as zombies so
Mega Death won't kill you. Neither will Curaga, cos it will be Reflected on Y.
(remember to use Shell in order to halve healing effect).
You still shouldn't bother with Haste or anything else cos of... yep, 'Punch'
counter still removes everything sans Reflect. Mind Blast will be her most
dangerous move - 600 damage to everybody and Confusion (also Sleep [inflicted
very rarely] and Curse [also low rate of connecting]). But if you got
Confuseproof armors like I suggested, you won't be affected. Y. dies for the
third and final time.
Finally, if at any time you'll be calling aeons for Overdrives obviously, be
warned. During phases one Y. alternates between 'Punch' and Absorb. During
phase two Y. alternates between Absorb and Hell Biter. In phase three she gets
even nastier. She uses Mind Blast (curses an aeon, thus disabling Overdrives),
then Absorb, then Osmose, then Absorb, and starts again with Mind Blast
(pattern is then repeated). Thanks to MrVandal for confirming Osmose used by Y.
in phase three). Of course, she still counters anything you chuck at her with
your Aeons. Y. can be Threatened, but don't count on it too often.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------After she's defeated, go down the stairs in the back. This should make a chest
appear in far left corner of this room. If not, go down same stairs again. In
the chest is Sun Crest *KEY ITEM*. Exit the Dome. Don't worry, Auron, I kinda
figured it out already... Whoa!

magic is used on Genais

e) Sigh - NATT VS all chrs - mgd + inflicts Darkness (inflicted for three chr's
turns)
f) 'Magic absorbed.' - any type of magic is used against Sin with Genais
around, it'll be absorbed by Genais
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | Easy way? Rikku's Mix of two Wings to Discovery. It'll allow your
members to deal 9999 damage with *anything*. So just pound away, hehe.
Hard way? Not dangerous really. I suggest Tidus, Yuna and Auron. Hastega with
Tidus, then have Yuna Shell each member and finally have Auron attack. After
Yuna Shells everybody, also include Protect, if you wish. Genais has set
pattern - Venom, Venom, Thrashing. Venom deals about 1600 damage and incurs
Poison (Esuna!), whereas Thrashing deals about 1600 damage to all chrs. Use

Shell and Protect respectively. Don't use magic on Genais (it doesn't counter
Demi), otherwise it'll counter with Waterga for 2500 damage on the attacker.
What about the core? As long as Genais is out, core will not act at all. It'll
only act if you attack it physically - the only way is by Wakka. But that's a
waste of time and also you may get countered by level 1 spell or Negation.
Genais must die! My thoughts exactly. Slow and Silence it! Once you knock off
50% of its health (9999 HP and lower), it'll go in its shell on first turn
Genais gets. Now anything you do to Genais while in its shell will prompt it to
counter with Cura. On its regular turn it'll use Sigh, which does about 1000
damage to all chrs and adds Darkness.
Meanwhile core will also start to act. First turn core gets (with Genais in its
shell) will get it energized. On next turn it'll unleash Gravija. It strikes
all chrs AND Genais, but if it's still in the shell, Genais is immune to
Gravija. So hit Genais once (just once is enough), see Cura counter and hope
that Genais will exit its core before Gravija. Bam, Genais is down to mere few
thousands. Use Mega-Potion to heal bad wounds and then unload everything you
have at Genais until it kicks the bucket. Only core remains!
It'll alternate turns between energizing core and Gravija. It may randomly
counterattack with level 1 elemental spells aimed at whole party, so beware.
Each spell deals about 500 damage to each chr. Sometimes it also counters with
Negation. Anyway, if you're careful not to let your HP drop below 500 (or 1000
just to be extra safe), core is as good as dead, right? Right!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Talk to everyone, then head for top of the ship. Here talk to Yuna. Who's the
girl you have highest affection with? Following sequence will answer that...
Lulu (Let's go! Just you and me.), Rikku (Don't worry. I'll cover you.) or
Yuna? Again head for top of the ship. Save.

b) Giga-Graviton - VS all chrs - Game over!
c) 'Flash attack' - STATT & CATT VS all chrs - std + inflicts Petrify,
Confusion and Zombie
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | I recommend getting Stoneproof and Confuseproof armors for whoever
you'll be using. It rarely happens, but I did get my guys petrified, zombified
and confused during this battle. First it'll use 'Drawn to Sin.' three times.
'Flash attack', which is used as a counterattack after Sin sustains damage for

six times *or* on its regular turns - not very often, deals 700 damage to all
chrs along with a small chance to deal nasty status effects, like Petrify and
Confusion. Once Sin's Overdrive charges up, you have one more turn to defeat
it, otherwise you get Game Over.
So how to win? Easy way would be: Bring in Rikku, Wakka, and Lulu. Rikku's Mix
of two Wings to Discovery will allow everyone to deal 9999 damage. So after 15
hits Sin is gone.
Hard way? Start with Wakka, Lulu and Tidus. First have Tidus use Hastega on
everyone. Now have Lulu cast her level 3 spells and Wakka attack normally. If
Yuna's far enough to have learned Holy, use her instead of Wakka. When three
turns of 'Drawn to Sin' pass, change Lulu for Auron and Yuna for Wakka. Again
use Hastega with Tidus, Auron should Armor Break the thing.
Now you're set. You'll also be more set if you've reached end of Tidus' path,
where he learns Quick Hit. Then use Friend / Teleport Spheres to teleport other
chrs here (specifically Auron and Wakka) and have them learn Quick Hit as well.
Just pummel away at the boss - or use Quick Hit continuously. If you've
customized Confuseproof and Stoneproof armors, you have nothing to fear. Note
that you cannot halve damage done by 'Flash attack' in any way. You also can't
block Giga-Graviton with an aeon.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------Has no attacks, but depending on how each Mortiphasm is turned dictates what
attacks Natus will use and his elemental properties.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | Easy way? Rikku's Mix of two Wings to Discovery. It'll allow your
members to deal 9999 damage with *anything*. So just pound away, hehe.
Customize empty armors with SOS Nul abilities and have everyone who will
participate in battle in yellow HP prior to commencing actual battle. Why? SOS
Nul abilities *cannot* be dispeled nor do they disappear after a chr affected
with it has been struck with respective element attack. *wink* Die, Omnis!
Hard way? Easy as well. On first turns Omnis will use either level 2 (deals
1000 damage) or level 3 (deals 2500 damage) elemental spells, depending on how
Mortiphasms are turned. Halve the damage with Shell. Reflect is a bad idea, cos
Omnis may absorb the element he's currently using.
As Omnis starts with Fire element, I suggest equipping all chrs you'll be using
with Fireward-proof-eater ability. Thus you'll greatly lessen the damage he'll
do to you at the start of the battle. If you have Shell on top of it - great.
Also, if you'll follow the below strategy and you have sufficient Agility, I
assure you won't see any spells again except Dispel and Ultima.
Start battle with Tidus, Yuna and Auron. Tidus goes Hastega, Yuna goes way of
the Shell (or cast NulBlaze if you lack fire reducing armors) and Auron goes

Armor Break. Forget about squeaking around with Mortiphasms - it's complete
waste of time. Let's talk about how Omnis attacks can be turned to your
advantage. If you don't attack him, all Omnis will be doing is casting four
Firagas on his turn. Recast NulBlaze after each Omnis' move until following
happens...
Once you attack Omnis for *five* times (if you heal Omnis this is considered as
an 'attack' - same deal was with Sanctuary Keeper; even Stealing from Omnis
will count), Omnis will use Dispel on the first round he gets after your fifth
attack.
Dispel hits everyone and removes their positive statuses. Use Hastega
immediately. Also make sure that Yuna gets a turn before Omnis does.
Why? I'll tell you. Damage Ultima does is about 4000, and *cannot* be halved,
not even with Shell (odd, I know, but I'm sure of what I've written - Shell
does *not* halve the damage). So unless all chrs that are fighting don't have
over 4500 HP, you'll meet your end. That's why Yuna should... no, *must* get a
turn before Omnis can cast Ultima. Have her summon Aeon, then use Shield with
that Aeon. Ultima's damage will now be no bigger than summer's breeze. After
Ultima dismiss the Aeon! Funny thing about aeons I noticed the other day...
Mortiphasms can't be targetted for Overdrives! I tried using Shiva's Diamond
Dust on them, but it said they were out of range. WTF? Heheh. As an alternative
you could check if you have any Stamina Tonics in your inventory - this item
*doubles* MAX HP of all chrs in frontline party for one battle.
Next turn Omnis gets he will use it to rotate Mortiphasms until they all point
to ice element - meaning he'll be using Blizzagas. This is Omnis' turn, meaning
he'll have to wait until next one to use Blizzagas. During this time I hope
you're fast enough with help of Hastega to inflict damage on him five times, so
you'll forfeit his Blizzagas and *force* him to use Dispel. If you're not that
fast, remember to cast NulFrost to at least nullify two to three Blizzagas.
Again, after Dispel, Hastega immediately, assure that Yuna goes before Omnis
next turn comes up, summon Aeon, use Shield, wait until Ultima hits, dismiss an
Aeon, Omnis wastes a turn, you attack him five times, ad infinitum... or at
least until all 80000 HP are gone down the potty. Yay, now Omnis is finally
pushing up the daisies.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------'Sin: City of Dying Dreams'
Oh woman. Enemies here sure put up a challenge. Equip First Strike weapons cos
of Great Malboros around - you can easily get ambushed by them and then watch
helplessly as your chrs strike each other down. Use Silence Buster on
Demonoliths to disable Pharaoh's Curse counter. Slay Behemoth King with
counterattacks to have it not use Meteor.
As you set foot in here, go a bit forward and examine the wall on the right.
It'll tell you a sob story about 10 fiends that need to be killed. Once you
have killed 10 enemies - doesn't matter what kind (if you kill them with aeons,
enemies killed *will not* count - you must dirty your hands instead; thanks to
Dominic for this piece of info), examine the wall again and it will move away.
Another must-kill-10-fiends wall. Kill next 10 fiends, examine this second wall
and buh-bye to it, too. What? *Another wall?* And this time I must waste 15
fiends? Oh well, let's do it. Once also this matter is taken care of, examine
the wall to have it removed. Can you guess what's in the chest? It's a crappy
1x Lv.4 Key Sp.
Once you get to a hole in the floor, and the other side is accessible over a
blue square-shaped stone, press Circle to get access to Four-On-One weapon for
Wakka (Lightningstrike, Firestrike, Icestrike, Waterstrike). There's a hard-tomiss pillar that can be pushed down, granting you access to one chest with
Defending Bracer (Darkproof, Deathproof, 2 FS). Continue on. Take a left as
soon as you can... a dead end? Not really. Examine the wall and it will move
away, revealing a chest with 1x Megalixir. Backtrack a bit, then proceed
further. You'll find a sort of a hole in the floor. Enter it and open another
chest for 20000 gil. Stepping on blue square found in this hole will launch you

to a chest with 1x HP Sp., then by taking a stroll down the slope to another
chest with 1x Defence Sp. Step on hovering blue square nearby to be safely
transported back to the ground. Carry on. You'll reach a wide area with pillars
rising from floor, disabling you to proceed further at certain points. Once you
reach a chasm, Tidus will look down. Another chest? Turn back a bit and try to
get into lower right corner of this open area. You'll notice a tunnel. Enter it
and slide down all the way. Chest you saw before contains Laevatein (SOS
Overdrive). Climb the stone steps nearby when prompted with an action command
as shown in lower right of screen, then proceed in arrow's direction.
'Sin: Tower of the Dead'
You've reached last save point. Once you enter the tower that just appeared,
there's no turning back...
'Sin: Nucleus'
If you touch ice blades coming out of the ground, you'll enter a battle. Your
goal here is to collect 10 gems that pop around. Each one collected will nail
you: Stillblade, Wicked Cait Sith, Infinity, Prism Ball, White Magic Sp., Skill
Sp., Mage's Staff, Hrunting, Knight Lance, Attribute Sp. Items you get aren't
necessarily in this order. And they all suck except for spheres.
'Sin: Dream's End'
Finally. Make any last weapon/armor changes and commence final battle.

* - If you kill Yu with attacks that dealt say 4500 and 3500 damage, it'll come
back with 8000 HP as its MAX HP. As you can see, Yu Pagodas add together
amounts of damage dealt to them and then come back with combined total of the
attacks. I'll present an example: Yu Pagoda has 5000 HP at start. Attack it
once for 3500 damage. Yu adds that to its damage total. Attack it again for
5500 damage. Yu adds that to its damage total, now totalled at 9000. Yu is
disabled for few turns. When revived, 9000 HP will be Yu's new MAX HP. Yu's
damage total resets to zero. Attack it once for 8500 HP. Yu's damage total is
8500. Attack it again for 99000 damage. Yu's damage total is now 107500. Yu is
disabled for few turns. When revived it will have 107500 MAX HP etc.

c) Curse - NATT VS one chr - mgd + Curse, Poison, Sleep, Silence, Darkness
(Sleep, Silence and Darkness are inflicted for three chr's turns)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------STRATEGY | 'Punch' does about 2500 damage. Triumphant Grasp does 2000 damage to
one chr two times and inflicts Zombie. Beam does about 1000 damage and
petrifies chr - either you bring Stoneproof armors with you or quickly use
Esuna or Soft on petrified chr. Don't ignore it or you'll have one chr less to
fight with.
Following two attacks need to charge: Triumphant Grasp will strike single chr
twice and inflict Zombie, so you better not forget to heal that. Bomber is used
if Aeon is present in battle.
If both Yu Pagodas are 'alive', they'll use Power Wave on their ally. This'll
restore 1500 HP to him and fill up something. When it's almost full, have Tidus
use Talk command - doing this will cause that something to empty and also
forfeit main boss' next turn. Talk command will be effective only twice. Third
time it is used it won't have any effect anymore.
If Yu Pagoda is under positive status when you shut it offline, that same
status will still be present when Yu goes back online. The same doesn't apply

for negative statuses. If you kill off left Yu, right one will be using Curse
and Osmose. Same applies when killing right Yu. Any status you inflict on Br.
F. Aeon will be cured by Power Wave.
Let's talk battle: Tidus, Yuna and Auron are of course recommended. Tidus uses
Hastega, Yuna Protect and Auron Power Break (continue using Power Break
throughout the battle, cos Power Wave will remove that status. Note that it is
possible to Slow Yu Pagodas - hard to connect, but not impossible (use Silver
or Gold Hourglass). When hit by J. Beam, Esuna or Soft immediately. His
'Punch' will be halved by Protect. When hit with Triumphant Grasp, first cure
zombie status, *then* heal. To get two free chrs to do the attacking, equip one
chr with Stoneproof armor and then have that chr use Provoke on boss. Power
Wave doesn't remove that - yahoo. Beam, Grasp and 'Punch' will all be directed
at Provoker. So what do you do? Two chrs attack relentlessly, while Provoker
only takes care he/she doesn't die.
After we reach second halftime, game gets more dangerous. 'Sword swipe' deals
about 2500 damage to everyone and delays all chrs' next turn as well! Hastega
will be vitally important here. 'Slam' deals about 1200 damage to one chr. Beam
is still used - Soft or Esuna immediately! Get out those Protects. If Provoked
in first half of battle, boss will *still* be affected, but doesn't do you much
good anyway cos of hit-all 'Sword swipe'.
After you knock boss' HP under 60000, be well prepared. This time instead of
Triumphant Grasp (it should be known that Triumphant Grasp used during this
part of battle doesn't inflict Zombie anymore!) you'll see sth else - Almighty
J. Shot - deals about 4500 damage to everyone and is unblockable. Use that Talk
command now! Or as last resort call an aeon and use Shield (I believe that only
Shield can lessen the damage done by special type attacks by 75%).
Killing off Yus sounds a good idea, but I suggest Slowing them down instead. If
you do kill one of them, the other Yu will either Curse you or Osmose you both of which are pretty annoying. So either you Slow them or kill them.
Fast way to kill this boss is to make him a Zombie. Then shell out that HiPotions, Mega-Potions and whatnot (X-Potions and Elixirs won't work well).
Sooner or later boss will wave goodbye. Or use Quick Hits. Or Mix 2x Wings to
Discovery. Bye-bye!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------What? Strategy for the very last boss? You really (trust me) do not need one
except for these three tips:
#1 - You're always in Auto-Life status.
#2 - Only way you can lose this battle is if you Petrify yourself.
#3 - Cast Reflect on very final boss.
Sensors of last bosses:
'Strike me down.' V.
'Extinguish me.' I. (absorbs fire)
'End it right here.' I. (absorbs lightning)
'Please... Defeat me.' S. (absorbs ice)
'Soon... Eternal rest.' B.
'Thus I atone.' A.
'Take my life.' Y.
'Stop the suffering.' C.
'Don't cry.' S.
'Gotta say goodbye.' M.
'Possesses aeons.' YY.
Oh well, I guess I can provide you with few infos on last boss: It has 99999 HP
and 1 MP. Boss can be inflicted with following statuses: Doom (will get KO-ed
in 3 turns), Full Break, Zombie, Poison (rips off 10% MAX HP), Slow, Nul
spells, Haste, Protect, Shell, Reflect, Regen, Distil effects.
Attacks it uses are Gravija (with which it hurts itself, too), Osmose (when
it's used, it works on all three chrs), Ultima (you should kinda beware since

you can't halve it with Shell... but why bother? Auto-Life is here to save the
day) and Curaga, which is used as counter to any damage boss sustains from your
chrs' side. Boss sometimes also skips its turn.
Two quick ways to defeat it is casting Reflect on it, then it's just a matter
of time before it goes down. Or zombify it and then use Life spell on it. Bam!
Boss is defeated. BTW, is it just me or does boss' dying sequence make you
remember one scene from Tomb Raider the movie?:) Also, killing this final boss
was so much satisfactory, ever since I had to fight final boss of FFIX (hates
N's guts).
You've just beaten the game. CONGRATULATIONS! And I really mean it. Enjoy the
ending sequence and cross your fingers that the sequel to this great game will
be even in every field if not even surpassing it. Now that you've finished the
game, many challenges still await you. Let me name some:

| MP, Mag and Mdef - Mana Sphere
Agi, Acc and Eva - Speed Sphere
| Luck
- Fortune Sphere
----------------------------------------------------------------------------5. Valefor may prove very valuable ally in beginning stages of the game,
especially because of her Sonic Wings, which have Delay effect. Also, as she is
a flying Aeon, some fiends cannot reach her (example: Dual Horns on Highroad).
She doesn't belong to any element, therefore you aren't able to heal her with
elemental spells. In order to obtain her second Overdrive Energy Blast: just
before you're about to leave Besaid Village for the first time, find the girl
with the dog (she's now in item shop) I bet you saw earlier and talk to her
until she says 'that her dog found something'). Go in the third house on the
right of the village and 'talk' to the dog inside. You'll get a special item,
and Valefor gains Energy Blast.
Listed below are three URL-s showing exactly what you must do:
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/valefor01.jpg
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/valefor02.jpg
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/valefor03.jpg
Lately, I've been toying around with various aspects and have discovered
following: if you return to Besaid village after completing Djose temple
trials, enter the shop. Inside you'll find owner's sister together with the
dog. Talk to her and she'll mention that dog gave something to her. She'll give
that something to you instead (Energy Blast learned).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------6. Valefor exceeds 9999 damage limit after you acquire Yuna's Nirvana *and*
power it up with Moon Crest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------II - IFRIT ---> A747
----------------------------------------------------------------------------1. You'll get him after you complete Kilika's Cloister of Trials.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------2. Special attacks:
- Meteor Strike [---> A753] - STATT VS one enemy - std
- Hellfire (Overdrive) [---> A746] - FATT VS all enemies - fire mgd
----------------------------------------------------------------------------3. Amount of items needed in order to teach new abilities:
For this please look under Valefor's section, where you'll find full and
complete listing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------4. Items needed in order to raise attributes:
HP, Str and Def - Power Sphere
| MP, Mag and Mdef - Mana Sphere
Agi, Acc and Eva - Speed Sphere
| Luck
- Fortune Sphere
----------------------------------------------------------------------------5. Ifrit is fire elemental Aeon, thus allowing you to heal him with fire-based

attacks. This is about his only advantage over Valefor. He's also very useful
for one particular fiend - Jumbo Flan. Ifrit's Meteor Strike is special type
attack, not magical, not physical. I know this is strange, but I have proof.
Jumbo Flan is immune to physicals, and Juggernaut to magicals. Guess what?
Meteor Strike works on both of them. So, in case you're tired of seeing Anima's
Pain, Ifrit is the guy to use.:)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------6. Ifrit exceeds 9999 damage limit after you acquire Wakka's World Champion
*and* power it up with Jupiter Crest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------III - IXION ---> A749
----------------------------------------------------------------------------1. You'll get him after you complete Djose's Cloister of Trials.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------2. Special attacks:
- Aerospark [---> A736] - VS one enemy - phd + Dispel effect
- Thor's Hammer (Overdrive) [---> A760] - LATT VS all enemies - lightning mgd
----------------------------------------------------------------------------3. Amount of items needed in order to teach new abilities:
For this please look under Valefor's section, where you'll find full and
complete listing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------4. Items needed in order to raise attributes:
HP, Str and Def - Power Sphere
| MP, Mag and Mdef - Mana Sphere
Agi, Acc and Eva - Speed Sphere
| Luck
- Fortune Sphere
----------------------------------------------------------------------------5. Ixion is much the same league as Ifrit. Ixion is lightning elemental, thus
he can be healed with lightning based attacks. His other useful feature is
Aerospark, as it carries Dispel effect. Otherwise I see no other beneficial
feature which might prompt you to use Ixion often.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------6. Ixion exceeds 9999 damage limit after you acquire Kimahri's Spirit Lance
*and* power it up with Saturn Crest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------IV - SHIVA ---> A758
----------------------------------------------------------------------------1. You'll get her after you defeat S. and his cronies for first time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------2. Special attacks:
- Heavenly Strike [---> A745] - VS one enemy - phd + delays enemy's next turn
- Diamond Dust (Overdrive) [---> A742] - IATT VS all enemies - ice mgd
----------------------------------------------------------------------------3. Amount of items needed in order to teach new abilities:
For this please look under Valefor's section, where you'll find full and
complete listing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------4. Items needed in order to raise attributes:
HP, Str and Def - Power Sphere
| MP, Mag and Mdef - Mana Sphere
Agi, Acc and Eva - Speed Sphere
| Luck
- Fortune Sphere
----------------------------------------------------------------------------5. Ah, my *favorite* Aeon. Her being ice elemental means she could use some
icing on the cake... er, I mean she can be healed with ice based attacks. Shiva
also possesses tremendous Agility, which will be main reason you'll want to use
her. And her special attack has Delay effect. Beware of her low HP and Def,
tho'. In a cinch she may fall easily.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. Shiva exceeds 9999 damage limit after you acquire Lulu's Onion Knight *and*
power it up with Venus Crest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------V - BAHAMUT ---> A738
----------------------------------------------------------------------------1. You'll get him after you complete Bevelle's Cloister of Trials.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------2. Special attacks:
- Impulse [---> A748] - VS all enemies - phd
- Mega Flare (Overdrive) [---> A752] - STATT VS all enemies - std
----------------------------------------------------------------------------3. Amount of items needed in order to teach new abilities:
For this please look under Valefor's section, where you'll find full and
complete listing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------4. Items needed in order to raise attributes:
HP, Str and Def - Power Sphere
| MP, Mag and Mdef - Mana Sphere
Agi, Acc and Eva - Speed Sphere
| Luck
- Fortune Sphere
----------------------------------------------------------------------------5. What the hell did they do to him in this game??? Okay, so he has big Str and
Def, but he has low Agi. His Impulse hits every enemy on the field. But both
this and Mega Flare need long to charge, so careful with them. Bahamut with
Haste learned is a killing machine. He can only be healed by healing magic.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------6. Bahamut doesn't require a certain chr's celestial weapon to exceed 9999
damage limit. He can do so after he's strong enough.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------VI - ANIMA ---> A737
----------------------------------------------------------------------------1. You'll get her after you complete Baaj Temple's Cloister of Trials. You must
have opened all six treasures (one in each temple - Besaid, Kilika, Djose,
Macalania, Bevelle and Zanarkand) in order for final seal in Baaj Temple to
disappear.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------2. Special attacks:
- Pain [---> A755] - NATT VS one enemy - mgd + KO
- Oblivion (Overdrive) [---> A754] - STATT VS all enemies - 16 consecutive hits
to all
----------------------------------------------------------------------------3. Amount of items needed in order to teach new abilities:
For this please look under Valefor's section, where you'll find full and
complete listing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------4. Items needed in order to raise attributes:
HP, Str and Def - Power Sphere
| MP, Mag and Mdef - Mana Sphere
Agi, Acc and Eva - Speed Sphere
| Luck
- Fortune Sphere
----------------------------------------------------------------------------5. Yuck. But very useful. Pain carries KO. Oblivion is strongest attack in the
game. She has big HP and Str. But special attacks take quite long to charge, so
careful planning is needed. Don't forget to teach Anima Haste/ga.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------6. Anima doesn't require a certain chr's celestial weapon to exceed 9999 damage
limit. She can do so after she's strong enough.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

VII - YOJIMBO ---> A763


----------------------------------------------------------------------------1. You'll get him after you defeat optional boss in Cavern of S. F.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------2. Special attacks:
- Daigoro [---> A740] - VS one enemy - phd
- Kozuka [---> A750] - VS one enemy - phd
- Wakizashi [---> A762] - VS one enemy OR all enemies - phd
- Zanmato [---> A764] - VS all enemies - instant kill against *any* enemy in
the game
----------------------------------------------------------------------------3. Amount of items needed in order to teach new abilities:
Yojimbo cannot be taught any abilities.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------4. Items needed in order to raise attributes:
HP, Str and Def - Power Sphere
| MP, Mag and Mdef - Mana Sphere
Agi, Acc and Eva - Speed Sphere
| Luck
- Fortune Sphere
Note: It is useless to raise Yojimbo's MP and Magic, as he doesn't use them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------5. Money-eating-machine is the best I can describe this scrooge. He'll take
money from you in order to execute one of his four special attacks. There are
only two commands available for him: Pay and Dismiss. Pick Pay, then choose
amount of Gil you want to give Yojimbo. Depending on how much he 'likes' you
(don't ask, too complicated to explain), he will choose an attack, Daigoro
being the crappiest, and Zanmato being the coolest. Daigoro and Kozuka attack
only one enemy, Wakizashi attacks either one or all enemies, and Zanmato instakills *anything* in the game.
If you pay him 0 gil at any time, he'll Dismiss automatically. Sometimes
Yojimbo acts on his own and will choose an attack without your investment.
Longest I had Yojimbo attack an enemy without me paying was three turns.
Kylie T. reminded me about an interesting tidbit I neglect to mention: if you
pay Yojimbo some gil and he nods his head, this means he'll launch Zanmato. If
however, he shakes his head, this means Daigoro will be used.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------6. Yojimbo exceeds 9999 damage limit after you acquire Auron's Masamune *and*
power it up with Mars Crest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------VIII - MAGUS SISTERS ---> A751
----------------------------------------------------------------------------1. You'll get them after you have Blossom Crown and Flower Scepter *KEY ITEMS*
and after you have obtained Anima and Yojimbo in Remiem Temple. After you've
done all that, examine barred doors in the back of Remiem temple. You'll be
asked to use both Blossom Crown and Flower Scepter. Seals have been broken, so
enter and they're yours.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------2. Special attacks:
- Mindy's Passado [---> A756] - VS one enemy - 15 consecutive hits - phd
- Sandy's Razzia [---> A757] - VS one enemy - phd
- Cindy's Camisade [---> A739] - VS one enemy - phd
- Delta Attack (Overdrive) [---> A741] - STATT VS all enemies - 6 consecutive
hits to all enemies - std - usable only if all three are alive
----------------------------------------------------------------------------3. Amount of items needed in order to teach new abilities:
Magus Sisters cannot be taught any abilities.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------4. Items needed in order to raise attributes:
HP, Str and Def - Power Sphere
| MP, Mag and Mdef - Mana Sphere
Agi, Acc and Eva - Speed Sphere
| Luck
- Fortune Sphere

----------------------------------------------------------------------------5. Strongest aeons in the game, their Overdrive only surpassed by Oblivion.
However, price comes high. As with Yojimbo, you can't control directly what
they will use. You are, however, presented with at least two commands to choose
from. When entered, Sister on the act may either execute an attack or 'Taking a
break...'. I hate it so when that happens.
Mindy: Passado, physical attack, all Lv2 element spells, all Lv3 element
spells, Drain, Death, Bio, Flare, Ultima, Lancet.
Sandy: Razzia, Reflect, Haste, Shell, Protect, physical attack, NulAll.
Cindy: Camisade, physical attack, all Lv3 element spells, Auto-Life, Life,
Full-Life, Pray, Cure, Cura, Curaga, Mighty Guard, Holy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------6. Magus Sisters don't require a certain chr's celestial weapon to exceed 9999
damage limit. They can do so after they're strong enough.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------*****************************************************************************
3 - LAST MINUTE USEFUL AEON TIPS AND TRICKS
*****************************************************************************
1. List of commands
- Attack
- *Special attack*
- White Magic
-

is outlined like this:


: launch a physical attack VS targeted enemy
: unleash aeon's special attack
: exactly the same as if you were controlling your
regular characters
Black Magic
: exactly the same as if you were controlling your
regular characters
Skill
: exactly the same as if you were controlling your
regular characters
Special
: exactly the same as if you were controlling your
regular characters
Pay (only Yojimbo): pay money to Yojimbo so that he attacks your enemies
Overdrive
: when aeon's Overdrive gauge is full, press left in
command window, then pick the name of Overdrive and let
it rip (GO Shiva!)
Shield
: by pressing right in command window you can access this
command, which reduces damage done to aeon until next
turn by 75%, but Overdrive gauge doesn't charge
Boost
: by pressing right in command window you can access this
command, which increases damage done to aeon until next
turn by 50%, but also charges Overdrive gauge faster
Dismiss
: by pressing right in command window you can access this
command, which sends an aeon away

2. Remember, Ifrit, Shiva and Ixion can also be healed with their natural
element! Ifrit with fire, Shiva with ice and Ixion with lightning.
3. You should teach your aeons following abilities: Full Break, Lancet,
Doublecast, Curaga, Hastega, Slowga, Shell, Protect, Reflect, Dispel, Regen,
Holy, Flare, Ultima.
4. When raising aeon's attributes, take heed that after certain amount of times
item requirement for certain stat may rise by one. For example: Anima needs 50
Power Spheres in order to raise her HP by 100. After you do so for about ten
times, you will need *51 Power Spheres* for next HP improvement. Same applies
for all of 10 statistics. Detailed formulas are further down.
Also note that strength of an aeon is tied to that of the summoner. So,
stronger Yuna gets, stronger aeons get, but there is aeon growth limit, ie a
point behind which aeon's stats will stop growing no matter how much you train
Yuna. The first increase in aeon's stats takes place after the 60th battle from

the time the aeon was first available). From then on, the levels can increase
up to 18 times at 30-battle intervals (thanks to piggyback).
5. If aeon is KO-ed in battle, that aeon will need certain amount of battles
before his/her HP is restored. His/her Ov. gauge is also reset to zero. You can
speed this up by finding a save sphere and examining it. Doing this instantly
revives all aeons and restores everyone's HP/MP.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Valefor
- 8 battles to go
| Ifrit
- 12 battles to go

| Magus Sisters - 30 battles to go
----------------------------------------------------------------------------6. All aeons have inherent ability of Sensor. Whenever you summon one, you will
see enemy's stats pop up on the screen when targeting that enemy. In addition
to sensor aeons also have innate ability of Piercing (discovered by Terence).
*****************************************************************************
4 - YOJIMBO MATHEMATICS INFORMATOR, NTSC STYLE ---> A848
*****************************************************************************
Note: Information written was permitted to use by Azure Edge!
This is a section where the information lies explaining just how exactly does
game configure the probability of Yojimbo using Zanmato... and the rest of the
attacks.
To start, Yojimbo's attacks are involved with six different factors. They are
motivation, compatibility, gil paid, Zanmato level of the fiend/s, Overdrive
gauge and random factor (like you expected something else, heh).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------FACTOR 1 - MOTIVATION
Motivation is most important factor, for it decides what attack Yojimbo will
use. Motivation is a points scale, starting at zero. Higher motivation means
better attack. Zanmato is performed at motivation, that is higher than 80. The
other five factors are used to calculate motivation. After the calculations are
done and if motivation is higher than 80, you'll see Zanmato. If not,
calculations are done again, this time assuming Zanmato level of the fiend is
one.
Basically, first the game will find out if Yojimbo will do Zanmato. If not,
another attack is selected. Motivation is resetted every turn, so if you pay
Yojimbo 5000 gil one turn and 10000 the next, he will only have the motivation
count for that second payment. Because all motivation numbers are whole, ingame equation rounds by ignoring the decimals.
Outlined below is small chart showing what motivation triggers what attacks:
--> 0 - 31 motivation will trigger Daigoro
--> 32 - 47 motivation will trigger Kozuka
--> 48 - 63 motivation will trigger Wakizashi VS one enemy
--> 64 (and beyond) motivation will trigger Wakizashi VS all enemies
The other five factors add up to Yojimbo's final motivation thus determining
which attack will be used. Discussed below is how these five factors apply to
the attack used.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FACTOR 2 - GIL
Cash paid is nearly as important as motivation. Paying certain amounts of gil
can add up to 56 points of motivation to Yojimbo's overall motivation. How much
gil for how many motivation? This you will see below.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FACTOR 3 - COMPATIBILITY
When you acquire Yojimbo, he starts with a hidden affection for Yuna. Better
watch out, Tidus, hehe. It starts at 50, and can raise all the way up to 255
heaven. The equation for compatibility factor is [c / 30 = m], where c =
compatibility and m = motivation.
Whaaat? Measly +8 motivation for highest compatibility? Sadly it is so. Also,
certain actions, when performed, will raise or lower Yojimbo's compatibility.
'Chart' below will show action performed first, followed by compatibility
change...
--> Pay 0 gil - compatibility drops by 20 points
--> Yojimbo is KO-ed - compatibility drops by 10
--> Yojimbo is dismissed without being payed once - compatibility drops by 3
--> Daigoro is used - compatibility drops by 1
--> Kozuka is used - compatibility is not changed
--> Wakizashi VS one enemy is used - compatibility rises by 1 point
--> Wakizashi VS all enemies is used - compatibility rises by 3
--> Zanmato is used - compatibility rises by 4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FACTOR 4 - ZANMATO LEVEL
There are five Zanmato Levels, and each fiend is assigned to one, even the
underwater fiends, which you can't Zanmato otherwise. These levels affect the
rate of Zanmato being used on a particular fiend; the higher the Zanmato level,
the lower the Zanmato rate becomes. This is also tied in with the answer you
gave when you hired him, and the motivation from his compatibility. To find out
the effect of Zanmato Level on Yojimbo's motivation, take the motivation added
from his compatibility and apply it to the below formula. For this equation, c
= motivation from compatibility, p = the amount you paid for the attack, and t
= your total amount of gil.
c * (0.75 + [{p * 0.5} / t])
Now, take the solution from the above formula and multiply it into the equation
below, based on the answer you gave Yojimbo when you hired him.
If you hired him to help with your training as a summoner, or if you hired him
to destroy fiends...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FACTOR 5 - OVERDRIVE
This one is quick. If Yojimbo's overdrive gauge is full, this adds 2 points to
his overall motivation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------FACTOR 6 - RANDOM FACTOR


Random factor will always determine whether or not you'll see Zanmato. It
randomly adds anywhere from 0 to 63 points to Yojimbo's overall motivation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE ATTACKS?
There's also a chance that Yojimbo will attack free of charge. If c =
compatibility, the chance is (c / 1024). When he does this, his motivation
calculation is much simpler. If c = compatibility, the formula is (c / 4) + a
random factor of 0 to 63. The result is:
--> 0 - 31 motivation will trigger Daigoro
--> 32 - 47 motivation will trigger Kozuka
--> 48 - 63 motivation will trigger Wakizashi VS one enemy
--> 64 - 79 motivation will trigger Wakizashi VS all enemies
--> 80 (and beyond) will trigger Zanmato
Free Zanmato is used if Zanmato level of the enemy is one. It's the most
economic way of using Yojimbo, but it'll cost you a few truckloads of gil to
get you all the way to 255 compatibility (counts few millions of dead Mimics).
At 255 compatibility Yojimbo attacks for free 25% of the time and uses either
Wakizashi or Zanmato.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------EXECUTING ZANMATO?
Here are a few tips that may help you increase your chances to see Zanmato:
- Don't let Yojimbo get KO-ed
- Don't pay him zero gil, or dismiss him straight away
- Pay him at least 1000 gil every turn you plan using him
- Keep his overdrive gauge (near) full
- Pay all money you have and hope that randomness is on your side for once
- lastly, investing large amounts of gil until he has 255 compatibility
----------------------------------------------------------------------------*****************************************************************************
5 - YOJIMBO MATHEMATICS INFORMATOR, PAL / INTERNATIONAL STYLE ---> A848
*****************************************************************************
Info supplied by Olivier Hague on FFX message board.
It all depends on Yojimbo's Motivation. It starts at 0, naturally. It is
calculated as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------FACTOR 1: The money you paid him for the attack
Motivation according to how much you paid him for the attack:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------1
~3 Gil
-> + 0
| 4
~7 Gil
-> + 4

~15 Gil
-> + 8

~31 Gil

536870912~999999999 Gil -> + 112
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FACTOR 2: The Compatibility parameter
This hidden parameter starts at 128. The minimum is 0, and the max is 255.
It decreases by 20 points if you pay him 0 Gil.
It decreases by 10 points if Yojimbo is KO-ed during battle.
It decreases by 3 points if you dismiss him just after you summoned him.
It decreases by 1 point when he attacks with Daigoro.
It doesn't change when he uses Kozuka.
It increases by 1 point when he uses Wakizashi VS one enemy.
It increases by 3 points when he uses Wakizashi VS all enemies.
It increases by 4 points when he uses Zanmato.
It doesn't reset when the battle is over.
Yojimbo's motivation according to his compatibility parameter when you paid him
for the attack:
+ (Compatibility / 4)
(round off by ignoring what's after the comma)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FACTOR 3: Your answer when you hired him, and the Zanmato Lv. of the enemy
You chose you wanted to hire him as a part of your training as a Summoner:
X [0.75 + (what you paid for the attack X 0.5 / the total amount of Gil you
have)]
(round off by ignoring what's after the comma)
You chose you wanted to hire him as a part of your training as a Summoner, or
to destroy fiends:
Enemy is Zanmato Lv. 1 -> X 1
Enemy is Zanmato Lv. 2 -> X 0.5
Enemy is Zanmato Lv. 3 -> X 0.33
Enemy is Zanmato Lv. 4 -> X 0.25
Enemy is Zanmato Lv. 5 -> X 0.2
Enemy is Zanmato Lv. 6 -> X 0.16
(round off by ignoring what's after the comma)
You chose you wanted to hire him to defeat really strong enemies:
Enemy is Zanmato Lv. 1~3 -> X 0.8
Enemy is Zanmato Lv. 4~6 -> X 0.4
(round off by ignoring what's after the comma)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FACTOR 4: The Overdrive gauge
If it was full when you paid him for the attack: + 20
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FACTOR 5: The random factor
That one is random: it can be anywhere between + 0-63
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FACTOR 6: So, how much does that make?


If, after all that, Yojimbo's motivation is equal or superior to 80, he'll use
Zanmato. If it isn't, the whole calculation will be made one more time, but the
enemy's Zanmato Lv. will be considered to be 1 this time. And according to the
new Motivation result...
0~31 -> Daigoro
32~47 -> Kozuka
48~63 -> Wakizashi (one enemy)
64+ -> Wakizashi (all enemies)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE ATTACK?
Yojimbo may also immediately attack for free when his turn comes. Odds are:
Compatibility parameter / 1024
When he does attack for free, the kind of attack he does is decided as follows:
[Compatibility parameter / 4] (round off by ignoring what's after the comma) +
0~63 (random)
If the result is:
0~31 -> Yojimbo uses Daigoro
32~47 -> Yojimbo uses Kozuka
48~63 -> Yojimbo uses Wakizashi VS one enemy
64~79 -> Yojimbo uses Wakizashi VS all enemies
80+ -> Yojimbo uses Zanmato if the enemy's Zanmato Lv. is 1, otherwise, he uses
Wakizashi VS all enemies

*****************************************************************************
Summon an Aeon in Overdrive!
Once Yuna's Ov. gauge is full, press left in command window. Yuna can now use
Grand Summon. Select an Aeon you want. Aeon she'll summon will come to battle
with full Overdrive, instantly ready to be launched. The other cool catch is
that if Aeon had full Overdrive prior to Grand Summon, he gets to keep it,
meaning you can unleash two Mega Flares in a row, for example.
*****************************************************************************
3 - LULU'S OVERDRIVE - FURY ---> A225
*****************************************************************************
Unleash a barrage of spells on the enemy!
Once Lulu's Ov. gauge is full, press left in command window. Pick Fury, then
select the spell you want to use. Now rotate right analog stick as fast as you
can. The more circles you successfully complete, the more number on screen will
rise. Once time limit elapses, chosen spell will be thrown at the enemies. The
harder the spell, the more circles you need to accomplish for one successful
casting. Two good things about it are that it penetrates enemy's Reflect and is
not affected by Shell. Bad thing is that damage done is merely a fraction of
what it could be were it cast alone. Here's the order of spells as they're
listed in Lulu's Overdrive screen:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Fire Fury (attack power 5)
| Thunder Fury (attack power 5)
Water Fury (attack power 5)

*****************************************************************************
4 - WAKKA'S OVERDRIVE - SLOTS ---> A521
*****************************************************************************

Get the right combination for the ultimate shot!


Once Wakka's Ov. gauge is full, press left in command window. Slot machine will
appear. His Overdrive is called Slots. Depending on type of reels you've
obtained so far you can choose from following:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------A - Element Reels ---> A177
These are Wakka's primary reels you'll have from the time he joins your party.
Once selected, you'll have 20 secs to line up colors of the orbs. There's four
kinds of them, each one for respective elemental damage: red for fire, blue for
water, yellow for lightning and white for ice.
There's multiple outcomes you may get depending on what was lined up. I'll
explain them:
- if you line up three red orbs successfully, Wakka will perform fire elemental
physical attack VS all enemies with attack power 34 (same applies if you line
up three blue, yellow or white orbs respectively)
- if you line up say two red and one blue orb, Wakka will perform fire
elemental physical attack VS one random enemy with attack power 34 (same
applies for various other combinations)
- if you line up say one red, one blue and one yellow orb, Wakka will perform
an ordinary physical attack VS one random enemy for critical damage with attack
power 34
----------------------------------------------------------------------------B - Attack Reels ---> A028
These are second reels Wakka can use and surprisingly, they're the best out of
all four he can joke around with. Attack Reels may appear as a prize in
Blitzball Tournament. Picture proving that available at:
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/attackreels.jpg
Once you take Attack Reels for a spin, you have 20 secs to select among three
choices: 1x hit, 2x hit, or Miss. Likewise, multiple outcomes are possible.
- if you line up say '1x hit, 2x hit and Miss', Wakka will launch three
physical attacks randomly distributed among all enemies on the screen
- if you line up say '1x hit, 2x hit and 2x hit', Wakka will launch five
physical attacks randomly distributed among all enemies on the screen
- if you line up say '1x hit, 1x hit and 1x hit', Wakka will launch six
physical attacks randomly distributed among all enemies on the screen
- if you line up say '2x hit, 2x hit and 2x hit', Wakka will launch twelve(!)
physical attacks randomly distributed among all enemies on the screen - this is
the best outcome you can wish for
- attack power taken into account is amount of hits multiplied by 10
----------------------------------------------------------------------------C - Status Reels ---> A563
These are third reels for Wakka... the least useful as well. Status Reels may
appear as a prize in Blitzball League. Picture proving that available at:
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/statusreels.jpg
Once you take Status Reels for a spin, you have 20 secs to select among three
choices: 'Down' symbol, 'skull' symbol and... errr, 'sandclock' symbol. Yet
again, multiple outcomes possible.
- if you line up three 'Down'-s successfully, Wakka will perform one physical
attack VS all enemies with attack power 34 and inflict Full Break at the same
time (if you complete 'skull'-s, enemies will be inflicted with Poison, Sleep,
Silence and Darkness; by lining up three 'sandclock'-s, Wakka will try to
launch an attack which petrifies all enemies)
- if you line up say two 'Down'-s and one 'skull', Wakka will launch a physical
attack (carries Full Break as well) against one random enemy with attack power
34 (same applies for various other combinations)
- if you line up one of each symbol, Wakka will perform an ordinary physical
attack VS one random enemy for critical damage with attack power 34
- Wakka must appear in at least 250 battles against fiends before Status Reels
become a prize
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

D - Aurochs Reels ---> A030


Last reels for Wakka and useless as well. They may appear as Tournament prize.
Picture proving that available at:
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/aurochsreels.jpg
Aurochs reels are combination of Element and Status Reels. Each slot is
comprised of following symbols: red, blue, yellow and white orbs, 'skull',
'sandclock', 'Down' and three Aurochs symbols per one slot.
Once activated, you have 20 seconds to line up the symbols. A myriad of
outcomes is possible again. For lining up orbs and symbols look a bit above,
but I do need to mention two outcomes:
- if you line up say two red orbs and one 'Down', this will no longer cause
fire elemental attack VS one random enemy - instead one random enemy is hit for
critical damage
- if you line up three Aurochs symbols, all enemies get hit once with attack
power 72
- Wakka must appear in at least 450 battles against fiends before Aurochs Reels
become a prize

to learn conditions under which a character learns one mode, how many times
must the character be in that condition and how many turns must character spend
in that Overdrive mode for his/her gauge to fill up completely.
First you'll see name of the mode, then what type of action fills the gauge,
when does the mode become available, and lastly how many turns and/or whatever
else is needed for OD gauge to fill up. So far 17 Overdrive modes have been
discovered.

3 - OVERDRIVE MODES - IN-DEPTH OVERVIEW
*****************************************************************************
----------------------------------------------------------------------------#1 - STOIC ---> A565 - when character receives damage
Learned when? - Initially available
Fills how? - Damage received x 30 / MAX HP
Fast way to obtain this mode? - None, since you already start with it
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#2 - WARRIOR ---> A620 - when chr damages enemy (NOT by Overdrives or items)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Learned when?
| Tidus
- 150 | Yuna
- 200 | Wakka
- 160
Lulu
- 300
| Kimahri - 120 | Auron
- 100 | Rikku
- 140
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Fills how? - Damage inflicted x 10 / Estimated Damage (*3), maximum 16
Fast way to obtain this mode? - No fast way but to fight lots of battles and
you'll learn it eventually
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#3 - COMRADE ---> A102 - when chr's allies take damage
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Learned when?
| Tidus
- 300 | Yuna
- 240 | Wakka
- 100
Lulu
- 100
| Kimahri - 100 | Auron
- 220 | Rikku
- 100
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Fills how? - Damage received x 20 / Target's MAX HP
Fast way to obtain this mode? - No fast way but to fight lots of battles and
you'll learn it eventually
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#4 - HEALER ---> A252 - when chr heals allies
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Learned when?
| Tidus
- 80
| Yuna
- 60
| Wakka
- 100
Lulu
- 170
| Kimahri - 100 | Auron
- 200 | Rikku
- 70
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Fills how? - Healing amount x 16 / Target's Max HP
Fast way to obtain this mode? - Engage in battle against Magic Pot. Have chr
who wants to learn Healer (chr A) know Pray. Someone else (chr B) knows Demi.
Chr B casts Demi over your party so your HP is reduced by 1/4. Chr A now uses
Pray to restore HP to two chrs at once.
I've been informed that actually you don't need to heal a damaged ally, which
means that using Pray over and over on your allies (even those that are in top
shape) will get you Healer mode.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#5 - TACTICIAN ---> A583 - chr inflicts status on the target (*1)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Learned when?
| Tidus
- 75
| Yuna
- 100 | Wakka
- 80
Lulu
- 75
| Kimahri - 60
| Auron
- 110 | Rikku
- 90
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Fills how? - for one successful status attack gauge fills per 16%
Fast way to obtain this mode? - Select any Flan enemy, let's choose Flame Flan.

For chr A customize a weapon with Firestrike and Silencestrike. Chr B knows
Esuna. Engage VS Flame Flan (kill other enemies around it). Chr A attacks Flame
Flan, who gets Silenced, but not killed since we have Firestrike weapon. Chr B
uses Esuna on that Flan to cure Silence. Repeat as needed until chr A learns
Tactician.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#6 - DANCER ---> A117 - when chr evades physical attack
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Learned when?
| Tidus
- 250 | Yuna
- 200 | Wakka
- 200
Lulu
- 300
| Kimahri - 130 | Auron
- 200 | Rikku
- 200
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Fills how? - for each successful evasion gauge fills per 16%
Fast way to obtain this mode? - Once your Eva is high enough so that most of
physical attacks miss, find an enemy who has only physical attacks. I'd suggest
fighting a battle with 3x Yowie in Cavern of S. F. Have all frontline members
who will learn Dancer know Provoke (have Stoneproof just in case). Start
battle, cast Hastega over Yowies, Slowga on yourself, then have each chr
Provoke his/her Yowie. After required number of turns Dancer is learned.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#7 - AVENGER ---> A041 - when chr's allies are KO-ed
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Learned when?
| Tidus
- 100 | Yuna
- 80
| Wakka
- 100
Lulu
- 150
| Kimahri - 100 | Auron
- 120 | Rikku
- 90
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Fills how? - for each successful ally's KO gauge fills per 30%
Fast way to obtain this mode? - Provoking Master Coeurl (found in Omega Ruins)
guarantees a KO, since Provoked Master C. uses Blaster, which carries instant
death effect. So keep doing it and soon you'll have Avenger. You can save turns
reviving if two of frontline members have Auto-Phoenix.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#8 - SLAYER ---> A510 - when chr defeats an enemy
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Learned when?
| Tidus
- 100 | Yuna
- 110 | Wakka

Fast way to obtain this mode? - Go for the enemies that have over 10000 HP. Two
places that are crawling with such enemies are Omega Ruins and final dungeon.
Keep killing them and hope you won't get bored.

- 150
| Kimahri - 200 | Auron
- 260 | Rikku

----------------------------------------------------------------------------Fills how? - for each successful get-a-turn gauge fills per 16%

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#15 - LONER ---> A310 - when chr fights alone (*5)

| Kimahri - 90
| Auron
- 35
| Rikku
- 170
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Fills how? - for each successful get-a-turn gauge fills per 16%
Fast way to obtain this mode? - Fight Magic Pot. Kill two other chrs (or have
them escape), then keep defending with remaining character.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#16 - ROOK ---> A463 - charges when character magically blocks attacks (*4)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Learned when?
| Tidus
- 120 | Yuna
- 110 | Wakka
- 120

- 120
| Kimahri - 120 | Auron
- 120 | Rikku
- 120
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Fills how? - for each successful 'deflection' gauge fills per 10%
Fast way to obtain this mode? - For chr you want to learn Rook for make an
armor with Auto-Shell and Auto-Protect. Then fight any enemy you want, as long
as this enemy can hit you with either physical or magic attack. FYI, I had Yuna
learn Rook while fighting Penance. He used Obliteration against me, and Yuna
learned Rook after this attack (she had Auto-Protect in her armor).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#17 - VICTIM ---> A614 - hit by negative status (*2) from an enemy
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Learned when?
| Tidus
- 100 | Yuna
- 80
| Wakka
- 100
Lulu
- 110
| Kimahri - 130 | Auron
- 120 | Rikku
- 90
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Fills how? - for each successful attack versus your chr gauge fills per 16%
Fast way to obtain this mode? - This one can be hard. Most appropriate enemies
to learn this mode from are Malboro, Ochu or Mandragora, all of which can
inflict multiple statuses. Get an armor with Confuseproof, Berserkproof and
Poisonproof. The other statuses are manageable. Fight any of these fiends and
wait until they throw their stuff at you. After statuses are inflicted, use
Esuna. Repeat as needed.
Don E. has sent me a great way to attain Victim mode. At the same time you're
Provoking Master Coeurls and learning Avenger mode, you're also having KO-ed
chrs' Victim counter slowly raising. Why? It appears that Death status is also
considered to be one of statuses that counts towards learning Victim. So that
means that as soon as Tidus has been killed 100 times by Blaster, he'll learn
Victim mode.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------*1 - Sleep, Silence, Darkness, Poison, Petrify, Slow, Zombie, Power Break,
Magic Break, Armor Break, Mental Break, Threaten, Doom, Provoke
*2 - Sleep, Silence, Darkness, Poison, Slow, Confuse, Zombie, Doom
*3 - Damage dealt by Attack regardless of enemy DEF. When MAG > STR, MAG is put
in place of STR.
*4 - NulBlaze, NulShock, NulTide, NulFrost, Shell, Protect, Reflect
*5 - All allies except self Petrified, KO-ed, Escaped, or Ejected

22.) ABOUT STEAL ---> A852
=============================================================================
=============================================================================
Q - What's this section about?
A - About stealing, of course. Listed below will be two charts. First will be
alphabetical chart of every enemy in the game you can steal items from naturally what and amount of items will be added as well.
Then I'll reverse the magic - first will be items listed alphabetically, then
all enemies you can steal certain item from will be listed.
Q - How do I get Steal?
A - Rikku initially starts with it. You can have other chrs learn it by
travelling all the way to Steal node (or simply use Warp Sphere), where they
use Ability Sphere to learn Steal, or you use Special Sphere or Master Sphere
in order to learn Steal from anywhere on the grid.
Q - What's Mug?
A - I'm sure you remember that ability from previous FFs.:) When executed, chr
will try to steal and at same time deal damage to the enemy as well.
Q - What is success rate of Steal / Mug?
A - You can steal first item with 100% success. Each additional item has 50%
less chance to be stolen. That means success % goes like this: 100%, 50%,
25%... understood? It is believed that enemy has infinite supply of items that
can be stolen.

Q - I got two different kinds of items from same enemy. What's up?
A - That's because most of the enemies carry two types of items to be stolen.
One is common, the other is rare.
Q - Common items suck. I want rare ones!
A - For this matter one must equip Pickpocket or Master Thief armors.
Q - What do they do and how do I get those?
A - Pickpocket increases chances of stealing rare items. You will still steal
common ones, but at lower rate. To get Pickpocket ability, you need 30x Amulet
(to get Amulets, Bribe Tonberry or kill Stratoavis).
Master Thief allows you to steal rare items only. Likewise you need 30x
Pendulum to get one Master Thief armor (to get Pendulums, Bribe Ultima Weapon
or Master Tonberry, or you can kill Neslug repeatedly).

ALPHABETICAL MONSTER LIST
*****************************************************************************
NOTE: If you don't find the enemy you're looking for, there is one simple
explanation. That enemy doesn't have anything to be stolen.

23.) ABOUT BRIBE ---> A853
=============================================================================
=============================================================================
Q - What's this section about?
A - About Bribing, of course. Listed below will be two charts. First will be
alphabetical chart of every enemy in the game you can Bribe for items - added
will also be amount of gil needed as well as an estimate number of items you
will receive should Bribe succeed. Then I'll reverse the magic - first will be
items listed alphabetically, then all enemies you can Bribe for certain item.
Q - How do I get Bribe?
A - It's on the end of Rikku's path. You can have other chrs learn it by
travelling all the way to Bribe node (or you simply use Warp Sphere), where
they use Ability Sphere to learn Steal, or you use Special Sphere or Master
Sphere in order to learn Steal from anywhere on the grid.
Q - How much gil do I need to pay?
A - Read the following info carefully.
For PAL version recommended Bribe amount is fiend's MAX HP multiplied by 10.
For NTSC version recommended Bribe amount is fiend's MAX HP multiplied by 20.
I dunno about very first release of FFX and International version.
Q - What is success rate of Bribe?
A - First take a look at fiend's HP. Multiply the amount by 10 (or 20) and you
have the amount you need to pay (it'll be listed in here as well, so why
bother?:)). Let's say you try to Bribe Malboro. For first bribing try 270001
gil. That's 10x times Malboro's MAX HP + 1. If Malboro goes away after that,
cool! You did it. If it'll say 'Miss', keep giving 1 gil and 1 gil only.
Eventually you will succeed.
Q - I didn't get as many of this item from that enemy as last time I Bribed it.
What's up with that?
A - Amount of items you get is often randomly determined. I will offer info on
estimated amount of item you'd receive should you decide to Bribe the fiend in
case you offer '10x fiend's MAX HP' gil (or 20x times for NTSC).
Q - Can I improve amount of items I get?
A - Aside from increasing amount of gil, no.
Q - This fiend/item is not listed in your list... did you forget it?
A - If you can't find certain fiend or item to be put on display in these two
lists, it means only one thing: this enemy can't be Bribed, or this item cannot
be obtained thru Bribing.
*****************************************************************************
ALPHABETICAL MONSTER LIST
*****************************************************************************

NOTE 1: The amount of gil given and items received listed is legit for PAL
version. If you have NTSC version and you're reading this, you must double the
amount of gil that is displayed near fiend's name (Remember? Fiend's MAX HP x
20 for NTSC). You will also receive roughly twice the amount of items.
NOTE 2: If you don't find the enemy you're looking for, there is one simple
explanation. That enemy doesn't have anything to be bribed for.

double the amount of times). If the item you're looking for isn't displayed

=============================================================================
24.) ABOUT DROP ITEMS ---> A854
=============================================================================
=============================================================================
Q - What's this section about?
A - About items you get when you kill an enemy (normal or Overkill). Listed
below will be two charts. First will be alphabetical chart of every enemy in
the game that can be defeated for items, which you obtain by viewing postbattle screen (ie the one where you view AP gained, weapons obtained etc.).
Then I'll reverse the magic - first will be items listed alphabetically, then
all enemies you can defeat for those items.
Q - Anything of utmost importance?
A - Yes. You can often get double amount of items when you Overkill an enemy.
Overkill means that you gave your enemy a finishing blow that dealt damage
which exceeded Overkill limit for that fiend. Here's an example:
You kill Master Tonberry with a blow dealing 9999 damage. You'd get 1x Teleport
Sphere. Overkill limit for Mr T. is 13560 damage. So if you kill Master
Tonberry with blow dealing say 20000 damage, word Overkill will appear, meaning
you exceeded Overkill limit, in which case you'll receive 2x Teleport Sphere.
Q - I received Power Spheres from Master T., but you wrote it drops Teleport
Spheres... what's up?
A - Some of the enemies, bosses included, drop two different kinds of items.
One is common drop, the other is rare.
Q - Are there any variables that work in my favor of getting only rare drops?
A - Except having a little bit of luck on your part (this doesn't include Luck
stat of your chrs), there is nothing you can do to increase your bets in
getting rare drops.
Q - This fiend/item is not listed in your list... did you forget it?
A - If you can't find certain fiend or item to be put on display in these two
lists, it means only one thing: this enemy doesn't drop anything, or this item
cannot be obtained as battle spoils from any fiend.

In this section I'll list down cases, in which once a certain ability is added
on an armor, you won't be able to add some other abilities. If you try to do
so, it'll say 'Superior ability already present'. It is possible to add lesser
ability, and then superior one (for example, you can add Darkward and then
Darkp.; but it isn't possible to do so in reverse).
- if you add *p. before *ward, latter can't be added
- if you add * E. before *p./*ward, latter can't be added
- if you add Darkp. before Darkward, latter can't be added
- if you add Silencep. before Silenceward, latter can't be added
- if you add Sleepp. before Sleepward, latter can't be added
- if you add Poisonp. before Poisonward, latter can't be added
- if you add Stonep. before Stoneward, latter can't be added
- if you add Deathp. before Deathward, latter can't be added
- if you add Zombiep. before Zombieward, latter can't be added
- if you add Slowp. before Slowward, latter can't be added
- if you add Confusep. before Confuseward, latter can't be added
- if you add Berserkp. before Berserkward, latter can't be added
- if you add A-** before SOS **, latter can't be added
- if you add Master Thief before Pickpocket, latter can't be added
- if you add Ribbon, you can't add Darkward/p., Silenceward/p., Sleepward/p.,
Poisonward/p., Stoneward/p., Zombieward/p., Slowward/p., Confuseward/p.,
Berserkward/p. afterwards

=============================================================================
=============================================================================
31.) ABOUT BLITZBALL ---> A833
=============================================================================
=============================================================================
*****************************************************************************
1) BLITZBALL INTRODUCTION
*****************************************************************************
A blitz team consists of five players and a goalie. Players are LF (left
forward), RF (right forward), MF (midfielder), LD (left defence) and RD (right
defence).
Whenever you play blitz game, you will see an overhead map in lower right
corner of the screen. It shows all players on the field and direction they're
currently facing. Your team is represented with green arrows, the opposite with
red arrows. Ball carrier is marked with a circled arrow. Note that goalies are
not shown on the overhead map.
One game of blitzball consists of two halftimes, each 5 minutes long, 10
minutes in total. League games can end in a tie, whilst tournament and
exhibition games go into overtime/s (also last 5 minutes). If latter happens,
team that scores first (so called golden goal rule) wins the game.
Your objective is to win the game by getting the ball in opposing team's goal,
which is always located on the *left* side of the pool, and to score more goals
than opposing team by the end of the match. At the same time you must prevent
the opposing team from winning. Your team's goal is always located on *right*
side of the pool.
Other 'items' that are to be found on screen whenever you play blitz game:

stats of player currently in possession of the ball in upper left


game score in lower right (beneath overhead map)
game commentary in lower left
action command in upper left

*****************************************************************************
2) BLITZBALL STATISTICS
*****************************************************************************
Each player has eight attributes. There's a maximum of 9999 HP, while the other
seven stats have a maximum of 99 value.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------HP - Health Points
The most important statistic (like usual, heh). HP drops when player has the
ball. You also need specific amounts of HP for most of the moves, attacks and
whatever there's left. If you don't have enough HP to perform a move, then you
cannot use that move. Should player's HP be totally depleted, this causes a
stat drop, making the player 9/10 less useful as before. HP regenerates when
player doesn't have the ball.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------SP - Speed
Get this stat high and not even Sonic can catch you... oops, wrong game (too
much Gamecube). High speed dictates the swimming speed of a player. The higher
it is, faster you can escape your pursuers or catch up with opposing player.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------AT - Attack
This stat dictates how strong the player is in direct encounters. Attack stat
comes into count when player tackles another player (usually one with the
ball), should that player choose breaking. Tackling player's AT is compared to
breaking player's EN. If AT is higher then EN, breaking player loses the ball.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------EN - Endurance
This stat dictates how well the player fares in direct encounters. Endurance
stat comes into count when player with ball comes into encounter and chooses
breaking, while other player tackles. Breaking's EN is compared to tackling's
AT. If EN is higher, player breaks thru.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------PA - Pass
Stat determines how well a player can pass the ball to team players. High PA
also takes care of ball not being caught or deflected by opposing players (they
can still get a hand on it making PA drop a bit, but if PA is high as mentioned
above, the decrease will be insignificant). PA slowly drops as ball travels
thru water. If it reaches zero before it is caught... ooops. Better make passes
from nearer positions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------BL - Block
Countermeasure to PA and SH (described below). If ball player decides to pass
or shoot in encounter, BL comes into picture. IF BL is higher than PA or SH,
ball is caught.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------SH - Shoot
Determines player's ability to shoot the ball. Be aware that shot ball's SH
will decrease as it travels thru water. If any defending players get their hand
on the ball, SH drops even more. Last hazard is goalie's CA. If CA is higher
than ball's SH when it's near the goal, the ball is caught or fumbled. If SH is
still higher, you'll score a goal.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------CA - Catch
It means everything to a goalie. Take it away from him and you'll have no
worries. Not true for your own goalie, heh. As written above, if CA is higher

than ball's SH at the precisely right time, ball is caught and you'll spare
yourself a goal.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------*****************************************************************************
3) MOVING AROUND
*****************************************************************************
There are three modes of movement. Default mode is Auto, which means that
players move around the pool automatically. This is not recommended mode.
You'll be a lot more successful if you choose Manual A mode (you can access
which movement mode you want to employ by pressing Triangle). Oh, and use left
analog stick for moving around, it'll be much simpler then using D-pad. Only
the ball carrier is moved by you, all others still remain in Auto mode. If at
any time you feel like you don't know where a certain player is, check his/her
position in an overhead map.
Hah, even though the tutorial recommends manual A mode for veteran players,
ignore that advice. As soon as you can, switch from Auto to Manual A. Then
there's Manual B mode... which sucks too if you try to use D-pad.
I highly recommend you stick to Manual A mode and use left analog stick.
Remember this: Movement modes are only applicable if your team is on the
offence, ie one of your players has the ball. If your team is on defence,
movement mode automatically switches to Auto.
*****************************************************************************
4) ACTION MENU
*****************************************************************************
Just swimming around the pool will not get you goals. You must select a command
to tell your players to do so.
You can access action menu by pressing Square anytime one of your players has
the ball. When Square is pressed, action menu appears in upper left corner. It
will usually have three commands you can choose from:
- Pass: select this and you will then be presented with a list of your
teammates you can pass the ball to (goalie can't be selected); select target
player to receive the ball and confirm with X; ball carrier will then attempt
to make a pass to the ball receiver
- Shoot: select this and ball carrier will attempt to score a goal from his/her
current position
- Dribble: closes the action menu and allows ball carrier to resume swimming
Don't forget that time is stopped while action menu is open! That means you
don't have to rush making awkward decisions in the process, but have all the
time to carefully consider what could your next move be.
*****************************************************************************
5) PASSING
*****************************************************************************
As you swim around the pool, notice the stat bar of ball carrier. Stat bar is
located in upper left corner.
Tidus 100HP 9EN 10PA 10SH
As you swim (ie dribbling), your HP slowly decreases. And you decide to make a
pass. Press Square to open action menu. Once you do that, this window will
appear...
Action Commands

Pass 10 HP
Shoot 10 HP
Dribble
Notice HP costs to the right of commands 'Pass' and 'Shoot'? This denotes how
much player's HP will be spent to make that action. As Tidus' PA stat is 10,
'Pass' command will require 10 HP. In short, HP cost for any player to make a
pass is whatever value that player's PA is.
Select Pass. 10 HP will be deducted from Tidus' HP...
Tidus 90HP 9EN 10PA
...and new window appears...
Pass to:
Datto
Letty
Jassu
Botta
This window requires you to select target teammate to receive a pass. Help
yourself with overhead map: ball carrier is marked with circled white arrow,
and ball receiver will be marked by circled green arrow. Note that you cannot
make passes to your team's goalie. Point the arrow to Jassu's name and upper
right corner will show another stat bar, this one belonging to ball receiver:
Tidus 90HP 9EN 10PA
Jassu 75HP 10AT 10PA 1SH
Press X to complete the pass. Tidus will now throw the ball with 10 PA. Notice
how ball's PA will decrease as it travels thru the water. If ball's PA is still
at least 1 as it reaches Jassu, pass will be successful. However, if ball's PA
becomes zero, Jassu will fumble the ball. If latter happens, any other player
can claim the ball. Enemy players are more likely to succeed.
The higher PA stat, the longer passes you can make.
*****************************************************************************
6) SHOOTING
*****************************************************************************
As you swim around, you decide to make a shot. Press Square to open action
menu. Once you do that, this window will appear...
Action Commands
Pass 10 HP
Shoot 10 HP
Dribble
Notice HP costs to the right of commands 'Pass' and 'Shoot'? This denotes how
much player's HP will be spent to make that action. As Tidus' SH stat is 10,
'Shoot' command will require 10 HP. In short, HP cost for any player to make a
shot is whatever value that player's SH is.
Point the arrow at Shoot. Another stat bar will appear in upper right, this one
belonging to opposing team's goalie.
Tidus 100HP 9EN 10SH
Raudy 80HP
8CA
Note that Raudy's 8 CA will be compared to Tidus' 10 SH. Confirm the choice
with X and Tidus will shoot the ball with 10 SH. Notice how ball's SH will

decrease as it travels thru the water. If ball's SH is still at least 1 as it


reaches the goalie, it still stands a chance to go in and score a goal.
However, if ball's SH becomes zero, opposing goalie will either catch the ball
or deflect it. If ball is caught, goalie will throw it back in to one of his
teammates. If ball is deflected, it can be recovered by anyone.
The higher SH stat, the longer shots you may attempt.
One last note for this section. As you saw, Raudy's CA was 8. CA value is
subtracted from whatever SH incoming ball has left when it reaches the goal.
However, there's also a random factor to be considered. I'll explain it in the
examples below...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------RANDOM FACTOR EFFECT
----------------------------------------------------------------------------I hated these things in FFIX, where the card game was set up so bad cos of
random numbers, which were used each time two cards battled. And random effect
is here to annoy you yet again. I'll list three examples representing how
exactly does the random effect work.
Note: All shots are made from as close to opposing goal as possible.
--> Example 1: No random effect
For starters let's assume that the game will not use any random effect when
Tidus attempts to score using Shoot command.
Tidus 100HP 9EN 10SH
Raudy 80HP
8CA
In upper stat bars you see that Tidus' SH is superior to Raudy's CA. Since no
random effect is involved, this means shot will go in and score a goal.
Tidus 100HP 9EN 10SH
Raudy 80HP
15CA
In upper stat bars you see that Tidus' SH is inferior to Raudy's CA. Since no
random effect is involved, this means shot will NOT go in, but be caught or
deflected.
--> Example 2: Positive and negative random effect
Now the game decides to play nasty with you. As Tidus attempts to shoot, a
random number is added to goalie's CA, which can range from as low as 50% of
goalie's current CA (negative random effect) and 150% of goalie's current CA
(positive random effect).
Which one will the game use? It cannot be predicted, therefore you'll need to
rely on your luck.
Tidus 100HP 9EN 10SH
Raudy 80HP
8CA
Let's say that when shot is attempted with these stats, positive random effect
is used to full extent possible, meaning Raudy's CA gets 50% boost. Thus Tidus
shoots a ball with 10 SH versus Raudy's 12 CA. The ball will not go in, since
Raudy's CA is superior to Tidus' SH.
Tidus 100HP 9EN 8SH
Raudy 80HP
12CA

Let's say that when shot is attempted with these stats, negative random effect
is used to full extent possible, meaning Raudy's CA gets 50% cut. Thus Tidus
shoots a ball with 8 SH versus Raudy's 6 CA. The ball will go in, since Raudy's
CA is inferior to Tidus' SH.

7) USING HP
*****************************************************************************
Every action blitz players make expends HP. Whoever has the ball will steadily
lose HP as he/she swims thru the pool. As you saw in parts IV and V of
blitzball informator, passes and shots also expend HP. And so do tackles,
evasiev maneuvers and more... but this types of actions are explained in later
parts.
If by any chance player's HP becomes too low or zero, that player isn't KO-ed
or anything, he or she remains conscious. However, passes and shots become 50%
less efective, meaning respective stats are halved. Whenever HP is too low, the
commands are highlighted blue. Players with insufficient HP also can't perform
any techs.
Once a player is rid of ball, he or she will slowly regain HP (unless
poisoned).
*****************************************************************************
8) ENCOUNTERS
*****************************************************************************
Encounter happens when ball carrier come into contact with one or more (up to
five) enemy players. Tidus will again serve for example. If he's ball carrier,
action menu will open, but it will have different choices...
Let's say Tidus has been intercepted by Bickson. When action menu opens (it
does so automatically)...
Breakthrough
No Break
Break to Bickson
For now select 'No Break', as I will explain Breakthrough later. You also see
Bickson's stat bar in upper right beneath Tidus'. Now your old friend appears,
action command menu...
Action Commands
Pass 10 HP
Shoot 10 HP
Dribble
Select 'Pass', and then choose who will receive the ball. Remember before when
you made a pass, the ball was passed to target teammate. However, Bickson is in
your way now...
Tidus 80HP 9EN 10PA
Bickson 72HP 1AT 2BL
and will attempt to block Tidus' passes and shots. Bickson's BL will be
compared to Tidus' PA. Once Tidus throws a pass, amount equal to Bickson's BL
is deducted from ball's PA (exceptions are possible). If ball's PA becomes zero
or less as Bickson tries to block the ball, ball is intercepted. If ball's PA
remains at 1 or higher as Bickson tries to block, his block failed and the ball
will continue its path toward ball receiver (note that is still applies that
ball loses PA as it travels thru water).
In the example above, ball's PA would remain at 8, thus Bickson would surely

fail at an attempt to block the pass.


--> If Bickson's stats were like this...
Tidus 80HP 9EN 10PA
Bickson 72HP 1AT 18BL
Bickson would surely catch the ball (even with random factor in effect) if
Tidus tried to make a pass to another teammate.
--> How about encountering two guys at once?
Tidus 80HP 9EN 10PA
Bickson 72HP 3AT 4BL
Abus
80HP 2AT 2BL
This time BL values are added, making final result 6. But with random factor in
effect, it may not always equal 6. It could be as high as 9 and as low as 3.
Knowing that in mind, pass will go through regardless.
--> Trying to score a goal
When in enc., select 'No Break', then Shoot.
Tidus
Bickson
Abus
Raudy

80HP 9EN 10SH


72HP 3AT 4BL
80HP 2AT 2BL
80HP
8CA

When attempting to shoot, goalie's stats also come into picture,


one more opponent trying to block your shot. By subtracting both
values you see that your shot has almost no chances to score. If
account random factor, amount subtracted from SH could be as low
high as 21.

resulting in
BL and CA
you take into
as 7 and as

*****************************************************************************
9) BREAKTHROUGHS
*****************************************************************************
For this part we'll discuss Breakthroughs. For example we'll assume Tidus has
encountered three enemy players.
Tidus
Bickson
Abus
Graav

80HP
72HP
80HP
80HP

11EN
6AT
4AT
2AT

11PA
12BL
2BL
3BL

Note: Enemy player with highest AT will always be listed first below your
player's stat bar, then the next highest AT etc.
You may want to pass the ball, but Bickson has very high BL. Adding in BL of
other two members assures almost no chance for pass to succeed. Thus you decide
to break past few enemy players and reduce the amount of defenders blocking
your passes/shots.
Breakthrough
No Break
Break to Bickson
Break to Abus
Break to Graav

In this example it's very good if we get rid or Bickson, so select 'Break to
Bickson'. Bickson's AT is compared to Tidus' EN. After you chose breaking thru
Bickson, you have to decide whether you'll want to pass the ball or shoot it.
Dribble option WILL NOT be available (it is available only if you decide to
break thru ALL enemy players you encountered). After you decide on pass or
shot, HP costs are payed and Bickson tackles Tidus. As Bickson't AT even with
random effect is not enough to reduce Tidus' EN to 0 (were that to happen,
Tidus loses the ball and turnover occurs), Tidus remains in possession of the
ball.
He will now attempt to pass or shoot the ball, depending on what you chose
earlier. PA stat is compared to remaining defenders' BL, in this case Abus and
Graav. Bickson CAN'T block passes/shots anymore, since he already made a move you chose to break thru him. SH stat is compared to remaining defenders' BL and
goalie's CA.
*****************************************************************************
10) TECHCOPY
*****************************************************************************
Techcopy occurs when a player attempts to learn a tech from enemy players.
Let's use Tidus for example. You will need to have him *mark* (how to mark is
explained later) an enemy player who knows a desirable tech, let's say Venom
Shot from Bickson. Once Bickson is marked, you're set.
Any time during the game Bickson attempts Venom Shot, word Techcopy! will
appear in upper left. Word will flash white and blue. Press X button when the
word is flashing WHITE to learn the tech. You may fail in following cases:
- Tidus' level is too low... so you'll either need to raise Tidus' level or try
to techcopy from someone else; in short, Tidus' level should be equal or
greater from Bickson's for a successful techcopy
- some techs can only be learned at specific moment, for example Sphere Shot,
which can only be successfully techcopied right before ball is shot
- you will fail to techcopy if you press X while the word is flashing blue
Successful techcopy will be listed in lower left of the screen, where you read
game's commentary otherwise. It will say who learned a tech. Game will also let
you know again who learned what tech at halftimes or the end of game. Captured
techs can be equipped at halftime or after the match.
The chances of success depend on participant's level:
- if your opponent's level is higher than your player's: 20%
- your opponent's level is the same: 50%
- your opponent's level is lower: 100%

equipped with Wither Tackle 3 tech (mark that player before the halftime
starts)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------*****************************************************************************
12) STATUSES DURING BLITZBALL GAME
*****************************************************************************
There are three statuses you can toy around with during a game of Blitz. Or
opposing team will toy around with you...
a) Poison
Affected player's HP drop fast when in possession of the ball, and doesn't rise
at all when not in possession of the ball. Poison wears off after halftime or
after certain amount of time (around 33 seconds).
Beware, poisoned players also 'lose' their abilities temporarily. First their
shooting techs are disabled. This is followed by tackling techs (second time)
and passing techs (third time) if poison effects are stacked with ability
called Pile Venom.
HP loss due to Pile Venom effect:

1x
2x
3x
4x
5x

4 HP every 0,6 seconds


16 HP every 0,6 seconds
64 HP every 0,6 seconds
256 HP every 0,6 seconds
1024 HP every 0,6 seconds

known as sleep. Affected player can't do anything at all. If your


put to sleep, well, you're quite screwed. Nap wears off if sleeping
hit with a ball, goal is scored, after halftime or after certain
time (around 53 seconds).

c) Wither
Break status? Almost. Affected player's stats (one or more) is/are halved, thus
making them less effective (halved stat is shown in blue). Wither wears off
after halftime or after certain amount of time (around 33 seconds).
Wither Shot reduces BL or CA, Wither Pass reduces PA, AT or BL, and Wither
Tackle reduces EN, PA or SH. HP stat cannot be affected!
*****************************************************************************
13) SCOUT LEVEL
*****************************************************************************
By talking to people all over Spira by pressing Square button in front of them
you can view their Blitz stats. You may not know off the bat, but there are
Scout levels, which can increase, thus allowing you to see more info. I'll
reveal how you can accomplish that.
A - Scout level 1
- Available from start of game
- Allows you to see player's name, level, for which team he/she plays (if any),
and gil fee per match
B - Scout level 2
- Available once you accumulate 10 wins with Besaid Aurochs team
- In addition to previous info you can now see player's stats as well
C - Scout level 3
- Available once you accumulate 20 wins with Besaid Aurochs team
- In addition to previous info you can now see techs player is currently
equipped with and how many tech slots he/she has unlocked so far
D - Scout level 4 (also the maximum scout level you can reach)
- Available once you accumulate 30 wins with Besaid Aurochs team
- In addition to previous info you can now see player's key techs and *all*
techs player has learned so far
*****************************************************************************
14) TEAM LEVEL
*****************************************************************************
By winning blitz games your team's level increases with every 5 wins. Besides
bragging rights winning also allows your team to learn new formations. Here are
the ones I obtained so far...
A - Centre Attack
- Players remain predominantly in field's centre
- Available once you accumulate 5 wins with Besaid Aurochs team
B - All-Out Defence

- All players enter defence mode


- Available once you accumulate 15 wins with Besaid Aurochs team
C - Flat Line
- Players form a straight line over the field
- Available once you accumulate 25 wins with Besaid Aurochs team
D - Counter
- LF and MF move towards opposing goal
- Available once you accumulate 35 wins with Besaid Aurochs team
E - Double Sides
- All members sans MF swim along the outer sides towards opposing goal
- Available once you accumulate 45 wins with Besaid Aurochs team
I've already accumulated over 100 victories with Besaid Aurochs, and no new
formations have been learned, nor have I discovered anything else that might be
of interest to me.
*****************************************************************************
15) PLAYER'S TECH SLOTS
*****************************************************************************
Level 1 and 2 players are unable to use any techs, at least not until they
reach level 3, at which point they may start equipping techs they've learned so
far. As their level increases, so does the amount of tech slots.

16) PREPARATIONS FOR A GAME
*****************************************************************************
Once you select your desired mode of play (league, tournament ot exhibition),
you will be take to three pre-game setup screens, where you decide on three
things.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------ASSIGN POSITIONS
Among the eight players (max number of players you can sign for Besaid Aurochs
team) choose six of them who will play one game's halftime. Note that you don't
have to select same players for same positions at start of another halftime.
You need to select LF, RF, MF, LD, RD and GL. As you move the pointer over
players' names, their stats are shown in the middle of the screen. Once every
position is filled, you'll be asked to confirm. Select Yes to proceed to next
screen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------ASSIGN TECHS
Once a player is level 3 or higher, that player can set techs to be used in a
game. On level 3 player can set one tech, as player has only one slot
available. Slots multiply as player's level goes up, up to a maximum of five
slots. I have a nasty trick for you.;)
Select any of your players. List of available tech slots and any abilities
equipped so far will appear in lower left corner. Press X by player's name and
marker will move to equipped tech list in lower left. Press X at an equipped
tech or empty tech slot to have another list pop up. This shows all techs
player has learned so far.

At the bottom of this list this player's key abilities are shown. If player
doesn't have any key abilities learned, he or she can't learn many techs. But
as player learns key techs, he or she gains access to wider range of techs that
are available for learning. Once a player has learned all three key techs, that
player can learn almost any tech.
Tidus can only learn Jecht Shot 2 tech if he knows his three key techs. Similar
applies for Wakka's Aurochs Spirit tech.
Before you set any techs tho', select Done to be taken...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------ASSIGN MARKS
Your players are on left, enemy players on the right. Select one of your
players (say Tidus), and press X. Marker will now move to enemy players' list,
allowing you to choose an opponent you want to mark, ie learn techs from
him/her (if any). Enemy player's stats are displayed in middle of the screen.
Techs enemy player is currently equipped with are displayed in lower left those that Tidus can learn are displayed in blue.
You can mark any enemy player, but aim for those that have techs in blue
displayed among equipped tech list, as blue techs are techs that you can
attempt to techcopy during the game.
Once you've decided on marks, select Done. You will asked for confirmation
before proceeding to the actual match. Select Yes and game will begin for real.
If you select No at this point, you'll be taken to first pre-match setup
screen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------And now for the nasty trick! As Tidus is a forward, he needs shot techs and
anti-techs. Forward's enemies are defenders, who are usually equipped with Nap,
Wither, Venom or Drain Tackles. So, check out enemy players (let's say Balgerda
and Kulukan) listed fourth and fifth in the enemy player list, as these two are
defenders of the opposing team. Balgerda is equipped with Nap Pass 2, Nap
Tackle, Wither Tackle and Volley Shot. Kulukan is equipped with Nap Tackle 2
and Wither Tackle 3.
What does this tell you? As Tidus will most certainly be blocked by Balgerda
and Kulukan as he attempts to make a shot, you know now what abilities those
two will have equipped and can equip Tidus accordingly. So he'll need Anti-Nap
and Anti-Wither techs. Repeat as needed for your other players to make a killer
team, equipped with just the right techs for current game.
Now select Done, but make sure you select No, when you're asked to proceed with
the game. You will be returned to first pre-match setup screen. Reapply
positions, and at Assign techs screen equip proper techs or anti-techs, which
will help you win the game, for you know, what will the enemy use against you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Another nasty trick! Select exhibition game. For your opponents choose a team
you can easily and quickly score against. If you have Jecht Shot or Jecht Shot
2, this ain't a problem. Score ASAP. After second Blitzoff wrestle the ball
from opposing players, then press Triangle to forfeit the game. You just got an
easy victory.:) With this you can quickly and easily level up your team and
scout levels.
*****************************************************************************
17) SEASON TYPES
*****************************************************************************
----------------------------------------------------------------------------League
10 games are played. One team plays other five teams two times during whole
season. Points are awarded based on outcome of games. If game ends in a tie,
each team that participated gets 1 point. Otherwise winner gets 3 points and
loser none. You can forfeit league games, but only when you're losing and in
possession of the ball.
After 10 league games are played, 1st, 2nd and 3rd teams are awarded prizes.

Top scorer also gets a prize. If two or more people finish as top scorers, all
of them get the prize.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Tournament
Two teams are randomly seeded. Seeded teams need to play only two games.
Remaining four are randomly paired up and play match 1. Two losers of match 1
are out. Winners or match 1 are paired up with seeded teams for match 2.
Winners of match 2 square off against each other in championship match, whilst
losers of match 2 are measured in consolation match.
Winner and loser of championship match, along with winner of consolation match
are awarded prizes at end of tournament. Top scorer(s) get(s) a prize as well.
You can forfeit tournament games, but only when you're losing and in possession
of the ball.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Exhibition
If you select that, you're then prompted to select a team you'd like to play
against. You can forfeit exhibition games, but only when you're in possession
of the ball. No EXP are awarded at end of halftimes.
Winner gets a small prize such as Potion, Hi-Potion, 2x Hi-Potion or Phoenix
Down (these are all the prizes I personally received so far).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------*****************************************************************************
18) EXPERIENCE POINTS
*****************************************************************************
Instead of gaining EXP in RPG itself, you deal with EXP in blitzball. EXP are
awarded for pass techs, tackle techs etc. EXP are awarded after each league or
tournament blitz halftime (no EXP are awarded after exhibition halftimes).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------*****************************************************************************
19) TECH CATEGORIES
*****************************************************************************
Cat. 1: Manual techs
Manual techs are techs for which you decide whether or not to use them when
given a choice. Most appropriate example would be:
Tidus is equipped with Jecht Shot. He is attempting a shot. One of the screens
that'll pop up will ask you if you want to use Normal shot, or Jecht Shot. At
this point you decided whether or not you will use Jecht Shot.
Manual techs expend player's HP during the match each time they're used.
Cat. 2: Trigger techs
Trigger techs are techs which activate with a given % by themselves under right
circumstances. Most appropriate example would be:
Tidus is equipped with Tackle Slip. Bickson is equipped with Nap Tackle. Tidus
is in encounter with Bickson and decides to Break to Bickson. As Bickson tries
to tackle Tidus, Bickson misses cos of Tackle Slip kicking in.
Trigger techs expend player's HP during the match each time they're used - as
mentioned, you cannot actively select to use them.
Cat. 3: Continuous techs
Continuous techs are techs that are active during the whole match. You cannot
actively select to use them, nor are they automaticaly activated. An example of
cont. tech is Golden Arm or Brawler.
Cont. techs do not expend player's HP. Instead they have HP equip cost: this
means, that if you equip Golden Arm (equip cost 30 HP) on Tidus prior to the
match, his HP will be reduced by 30 in exchange for Golden Arm effect to be
active during whole match.
*****************************************************************************
20) TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL BLITZ TEAM
*****************************************************************************
TIP 1: WHEN TO START?
I started playing actively after I got the airship permanently. I recommend
that you wait until then also. One of the main reasons to wait that late in the
game is: in case you win lot of early games, other teams will recruit players
which may otherwise be unattainable to you in early parts of the game (Linna,
Brother, and so on). But if you wait until you get the airship, you can recruit
those players for yourself without other teams interfering.
TIP 2: ASSIGNING
To start a successful blitz team, you need to assign good players. You can
assign new players by walking up to a blitz player and pressing square.
Depending on scout level you will see info about that player. Once you cycle
thru it, you'll be asked if you want to 'Sign player?', but only if the player
you're examining is free agent. Select yes to be prompted for how many games.
After that salary will be displayed and final confirmation will be displayed
before signing a contract.
If your team already consists of 8 players, you'll need to release someone
before new player is accepted. Note that you never release Tidus.
TIP 3: LEFT AND RIGHT FORWARD
Forwards are team members that will attempt to score goals. Ideal LV30 forward
should IMO have following stats and techs:
- high HP for shot techs he/she will be using
- high EN for attempting to break thru defenders

- high SH for attempts to make shots past defenders and goalie (suitable for
cases where you don't like breaking thru defenders)
- Anti-Venom 2, Anti-Wither 2, Anti-Nap 2, Tackle Slip 2, Invisible Shot
You can consider these augmentations:
- Tidus doesn't need high EN, as his Jecht Shot techs remove two to three
defenders... and you can't dismiss Tidus anyway, so you got yourself one
forward already
- if a player has enormous SH, you may not need EN, for you can attempt to
shoot a goal from further away, this way not being anywhere near defenders
- Sphere Shot or Nap Shot 3 are good choices for shot techs as well
Why do I recommend above abilities?
- Anti-Venom 2 is needed very much. As you know, poisoned player's shoot techs
are disabled first, and forwards do you no good if they can't use shoot techs.
- Anti-Wither 2 is recommended also as it successfully foils defenders' tries
to halve forward's stats. Were they able to do that, your forward's SH stat
could be reduced for up to 87,5%, just to name an example.
- Anti-Nap 2? Sleeping forward is not useful at all, therefore having this tech
ensures your forward will never go to sleep.
- Tackle Slip 2 assures 80% chances of your forward successfully avoiding
tackles. I say the risk is worth it in spite of chances being disoriented
after.
- Invisible Shot? Once the ball gets past all defenders, you've already won.
You can always score by aiming at the lower left corner. Even though the small
marker will point outside goal boundaries, ball will go in and score.
Other recommended forward?
- Oh, I recommend Linna so much! She starts with Nap Shot 3, Anti-Venom 2 and
Volley Shot.
TIP 4: MIDFIELDER
Midfielder is team member that will see most of the action. MF also tries to
catch the ball after blitzoff and takes care that most passes are made to your
forwards. MF is also first line of defence against enemy forwards. Ideal LV30
MF should IMO have following stats and techs:
- high AT for attempts to tackle enemy players trying to get to your side of
the pool
- high PA for making passes to your forwards
- high SP for luring enemy players after him/her, thus allowing forwards to
have less defenders to deal with
- high BL for blocking passes/shots of enemy players
- Nap Pass 3, Wither Tackle 3, Venom Tackle 3, Brawler, Golden Arm
Why do I recommend above abilities?
- Nap Pass 3 is very useful. MF with high PA and this tech could encounter all
five of enemy players and put them all to sleep with one Nap Pass 3.:)
- Wither Tackle 3 ensures that MF will halve one enemy player's stat whenever
that player is tackled. If it's forwards you're trying to tackle, I recommend
poisoning them first. Halving forward's stats may seem more efficient, but it's
dangerous as forwards can still use shoot techs, whereas poisoned forwards
can't use those.
- Venom Tackle 3 ensures that MF will poison enemy player whenever that player
is tackled and also disable that player's shoot techs. If it's forwards you're
trying to tackle, I recommend poisoning them first.
- Brawler will allow MF to get into encounters from further away.
- Golden Arm assures that ball's PA will not drop as fast as it usually does.
Recommended midfielder?
- Get Brother! His skills as MF are unmatched and to top it off, he boasts an

enormous speed stat for lure-enemy-away tactics.


TIP 5: LEFT AND RIGHT DEFENCE
LD and RD are team members, representing second defence line against incoming
enemy forwards, who make it past your MF. Ideal LV30 defenceman should IMO have
following stats and techs:
- high AT for attempting to tackle enemy player, should he/she choose to break
thru
- high BL for blocking enemy player's shots or passes, should he/she choose to
do so
- high SP for catching up with enemy player
- good PA for making successful passes to your MF once your defence wins the
ball from enemy player
- Venom Tackle 3, Wither Tackle 3, Anti-Nap 2, Golden Arm, Brawler
Why do I recommend above abilities?
- Wither Tackle 3 ensures that LD or RD will halve one enemy player's stat
whenever that player is tackled. If it's forwards you're trying to tackle, I
recommend poisoning them first. Halving forward's stats may seem more
efficient, but it's dangerous as forwards can still use shoot techs, whereas
poisoned forwards can't use those.
- Venom Tackle 3 ensures that LD or RD will poison enemy player whenever that
player is tackled and also disable that player's shoot techs. If it's forwards
you're trying to tackle, I recommend poisoning them first.
- Anti-Nap 2 assures that your defence will never fall asleep. Poisoned or
withered defenceman is not half as bad as sleeping one.
- Brawler will allow your defencemen to get into encounters from further away.
- Golden Arm assures that ball's PA will not drop as fast as it usually does.
Recommended LD and RD?
- For one defence position I recommend Ropp.
- For other Balgerda, but you'll need to wait for her contract with Luca Goers
to run out. Until then Kyou will make a good replacement.
TIP 6: GOALKEEPER
Goalie is your final line of defence against incoming forwards. They try to
catch or at least deflect shots enemy forwards make toward your goal. Ideal
LV30 goalie should IMO have following stats and techs:
- high CA to intercept incoming shots with ease
- good amount of HP for techs we will equip on a goalie
- Grip Gloves, Super Goalie, Anti-Nap 2, Anti-Wither 2, Regen
Why do I recommend above abilities?
- Grip Gloves increase goalies chances of catching the ball rather than
deflecting it (in which case Volley Shot equipped enemy forwards may attempt to
score a goal).
- Super Goalie randomly activates during ball's approach to your goal and adds
random number to goalie's CA.
- Anti-Nap 2 is there to assure your goal is always defended by non-sleeping
goalie.
- Anti-Wither 2 assures your goalie's stats will never be halved, which would
otherwise make your goalie only half as useful.
- Regen will make sure that your goalie will rarely run out of HP.
Recommended goalie?
- Duren for starters. But as soon as Nimrook from Al Bhed Psyches team is free
agent, sign a contract with Nimrook!
TIP 7: WHICH SEASON TO START?
Start with a tournament to gain first few EXP you need to reach level 3, at

which point you can start equipping techs. Once you get that high, switch to
few exhibition games which you should use as the opportunity to techcopy some
techs from enemy players (esp key techs your players need to be able to copy
wider range of techs - for starters I recommend learning at least one key tech
for each of your players).
Once you feel your players are at least properly equipped, you can try
finishing a league. By the time you end it your players should be around levels
7 to 12, thus having two to three tech slots available.
Now again switch to exhibition games for a while and attempt to learn second
key tech for each of your players.
Another league season should be enough to reach level 20 for your players,
allowing fourth tech slot to open up. At this point of the game you should
already have little to no problems winning a blitz game, esp with my strat I
posted. Play whatever season you wish and experiment as you see fit.
Oh, one last note... don't forget to evenly level up all players of your team
or you will regret it later (use the free EXP trick).

21) DETAILED PLAYERS OVERVIEW
*****************************************************************************
I've taken this section out as it isn't needed. If you need info on who to
recruit, the abilities learned etc., please refer to Blitzball FAQs that are
up.
*****************************************************************************
21) ABOUT BEST TEAMS
*****************************************************************************
Following info compiled by Evil R!
Best team suggestions:
I'll divide the BB game into 4 parts since most people won't play BB until
level 99. I suggest that you should start Blitz Ball after Djose Temple since
that is when the ferry will become available again and you can go back to
recruit some good players.
The best team early on right after Djose Temple is:
LF: Tidus
MF: Tatts/Kiyuri
RF: Vilucha
LD: Wedge
RD: Zalitz/Ropp
G: Jumal
If you don't plan to play BB early on then you can consider the following
teams.
Level 1-29
LF: Tidus/Wakka
MF: Tatts/Berrik (Al Behd Psyches)/Brother/Kiyuri/Naida/Svanda/Rin
RF: Vilucha/Shammi/Mep/Linna
LD: Zalitz/Judda (Al Bhed Psyches)/Kyou/Ropp
RD: Wedge
G: Nimrook/Miyu/Jumal/Kyou/Yuma Guado
Level 30-59

LF: Tidus/Wakka
MF: Brother/Berrik/Tatts/Kiyuri/Vuroja (Kilika Beasts)/Svanda
RF: Basik, Argai Ronso (Ronso Fangs)/Vilucha/Linna/Shammi/Larbeight (Kilika
Beasts)
LD: Judda/Ropp/Irga/Kulukan
RD: Wedge
G: Nimrook/Miyu/Kyou/Jumal/Keppa/Yuma Guado
Level 60-90
LF: Tidus/Nedus/Wakka
MF: Kiyuri/Vuroja/Svanda/Naida/Mifurey/Brother/Nav Guado
RF: Vilucha/Larbeight/Linna/Shammi/Besik, Argai Ronso
LD: Ropp
RD: Kulukan/Irga/Zev Ronso
G: Nimrook
Level 99
LF: Larbeight/Tidus/Wakka/Nedus
MF: Vuroja/Kiyuri/Mifurey/Linna/Svanda/Ropp
RF: Vilucha/Linna/Shammi/Isken
LD: Ropp/Kiyuri
RD: Kulukan/Irga/Zev Ronso
G: Nimrook/Wedge
*****************************************************************************
22) FINAL WORDS
*****************************************************************************
Personally I think that blitzball is extremely boring. Although I'm sure Square
meant well and all when they were making it, it could be done better. I mean,
just look at one blitz game... half the time you spend looking at your or enemy
players swimming around, making passes or shots and so on, and the other half
you spend pondering whether or not your shot will go thru.
It also takes a very long time to build a good team. And awards you're
receiving are most often pathetic... Hi-Potion for finishing first in league
season? I'd rather go Overkill Nemesis 10 times instead.
The only reason to even remotely bother with blitzball is to gain overdrives
for Wakka and Jupiter Sigil for his World Champion. After you have all of these
items, get the hell out of blitz world.

=============================================================================
=============================================================================
32.) ABOUT MONSTERS
=============================================================================
=============================================================================
This will by far take the largest piece of this guide. I made a similar guide
for FF8 about monsters, so I decided on doing another one for FFX as well.
*************************
Now for actual example...
*************************
1. Name: Tidus

2. Monster's HP: 5000 / 8000


--> Second number means damage you must inflict in finishing blow in order to
gain an Overkill
3. Monster's MP: 200
4. AP gained when monster is defeated: 2000 / 3000
--> So you would get 2000 AP should Tidus be killed without Overkill and 3000
AP should Tidus be killed with Overkill
5. Items stolen: Yuna / Lulu
--> That means Yuna is usual steal, and Lulu is rare steal
6. Items dropped: 1x / 2x Power Sphere; 1x / 2x MP Sphere
--> Usually you'd get 1x Power Sp., 2x if Overkilled. However, if you'd get a
rare drop, then you'd get 1x MP Sp., 2x if Overkilled
7. Gil earned: 1 (Scrooge:))
8. Items bribed: Dark Matter for 50000 gil
--> What item would you receive if you bribed that enemy. Bribe cost for PAL
version is monster's MAX HP x 10.
9. Monster's status info:
- Slow, Reflect, Zombie
- 30% Petrify, 60% Darkness
- 10% Poison
- 6 turns for Doom
--> In this case Tidus would be immune to Slow, Reflect and Zombie; you'd have
30% chance to petrify him and 60% to darkness him; Poison would take 10% of
Tidus' MAX HP away each time he'd take an action; he'd die after 6 turns of
being Doomed; and lastly, you'd have almost 100% probability of inflicting
*any* statuses not mentioned, for example Power Break, Silence etc.
10.
St,
10,
-->

Monster's stats info:


Df, Mg, Md, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac
10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10
Pretty self-explanatory, eh?

11. Monster's el. info: Weak to fire, immune to ice, absorbs water
--> Tidus takes extra damage from fire based attacks, is immune to ice based
attacks, and absorbs water based attacks; finally, Tidus takes normal damage
from element based attacks not mentioned, in this case lightning and holy
12. Monster's Sensor info: Main character of the game.
13. Monster's Scan info: Name this character and win the game by defeating last
boss.
14. Monster's equip. dropped info: 2 - 4 slots, 1 - 3 abilities already
present, 50% probability of equipment piece being dropped
--> That means should Tidus be defeated, you'd get a piece of equipment with
number of slots ranging from 2 to 4 slots, this weapon having 1 to 3 abilities
already integrated into the weapon, and this weapon having 50% probability of
being dropped by that enemy
15. Weapon abilities: Str+20%
16. Armor abilities: Ribbon

17. Monster's attacks:


a) Blitz Ace - VS one chr - 9 consecutive hits + Darkness and Slow (former
inflicted for five chr's turns)
--> This means that Tidus' attack hit an enemy 9 times, inflicting Darkness and
Slow at the same time. Darkness will be lifted after five turns, whereas Slow
will remain permanently in effect.

18. Monster strategy: As this is very first monster you'll encounter, you can
expect it not to be dangerous. In most cases it isn't, but in case its wings
start to flicker, kill that Sinscale soon. You can't pull anything fancy off
since the game has just begun, so only thing to do is to kill it fast and easy.

turns)

Darkness on you should its attack connect. If you have only fighters in your
party, this can be annoying. Also, its Eva is pretty high. It is recommended to
use magic against it or members with high Acc, in this case Wakka.

suitable member is Tidus, as his specialty is hitting enemies with high Agi. Be
vary of Dingo's Sleep and Silence it can and will inflict on you.

darkness.

99% probability of equipment piece being dropped
15. Weapon abilities: Darktouch, Mag+3%, Piercing, Mag+3%

a) 'Beak strike' - VS one chr - phd + Darkness (inflicted for three chr's
turns)
b) Sonic Boom - VS all chrs - phd
18. Monster strategy: What's this psycho doing here already? You don't have
much choice but to use Valefor in this fight to toast Garuda. For second Garuda
use Dark Attack to blind Garuda, greatly decreasing its Acc. Then proceed as
planned before. Don't forget to heal if your HP gets too low.

ice
12. Monster's Sensor info: Water elemental. Vulnerable to opposing element.
Resistant to physical attacks.
13. Monster's Scan info: Water-based. So soft, it's hard to damage physically.
Weak against lightning, so blast it with Lulu's Thunder spell. Don't use Water
or it will recover HP.
14. Monster's equip. dropped info: 1-2 slots, 1-2 abilities already present, 3%
probability of equipment piece being dropped
15. Weapon abilities: Distil Mana, Piercing, Waterst.
16. Armor abilities: Waterproof, Waterward
17. Monster's attacks:
a) Water - VS one chr - water mgd - may also cast it on itself to regain HP
18. Monster strategy: High Mag and Def. However, low Mdef. Lulu to the rescue.
Don't bother with physicals against Water Flan, as you'll just scratch it. Best
thing to use is Lulu's Thunder. It can also be easily silenced, thus removing
its only attack and letting it helplessly skip turns. Sometimes if low on HP,
Water Flan will cast Water on itself to replenish HP.
19. Special note: Water Flan is an armored enemy. Piercing and Armor Break are
the way to go.

17. Monster's attacks:
a) 'Bash' - VS one chr - phd

are higher.

15. Weapon abilities: N/A
16. Armor abilities: N/A
17. Monster's attacks:
a) 'Charge' - Suicide VS one chr - phd
18. Monster strategy: Careful with these around. These are last Sinscales
you'll see and also most annoying. Once a Sinscale charges you, it deals damage
and is then killed. However, it'll soon be replaced with new one. Although it
doesn't have much HP, it's not recommended to kill them. Concentrate on the big
target instead.

15. Weapon abilities: Distil Speed, Firest., Icest., Lightningst., Piercing,
Waterst.

16. Armor abilities: Slowward, Def+3%


17. Monster's attacks:
a) 'Bite' - VS one chr - phd + Petrify and Silence (latter inflicted for three
chr's turns)
18. Monster strategy: Dingo-version, pure and simple. Agile, fast and high
Mdef. As with Dingo, it lacks Def. So Tidus is the way to go. However, its
'Bite' has two annoying statuses: it can petrify a character or silence
him/her. Keep Softs at hand.

11. Monster's el. info: Weak to ice
12. Monster's Sensor info: Aerial. Vulnerable to ice. Watch out for poison.
13. Monster's Scan info: Aerial and hard to hit. Use Wakka's attack to knock it
down. It's vulnerable to ice, so Blizzard is also effective. Attacks may
inflict poison.
14. Monster's equip. dropped info: 1-2 slots, 1-2 abilities already present, 3%
probability of equipment piece being dropped
15. Weapon abilities: Distil Speed, Firest., Icest., Lightningst., Piercing,
Waterst.
16. Armor abilities: MP+5%, Poisonward
17. Monster's attacks:
a) 'Sting' - VS one chr - phd + Poison
18. Monster strategy: As a flying creature with high Eva, who is most
appropriate? Wakka. One hit from his ball will send Killer Bee 6 feet under. Or
use Lulu's Blizzard. Pay attention, tho'. Bee's regular attack can poison a
chr. Keep Antidotes around.

12. Monster's Sensor info: Vulnerable to fire.
13. Monster's Scan info: Watch out for its powerful Seed Cannon. One bad hit
will knock characters out. Plants tend to be weak against fire, so have Lulu
cast Fira. Kimahri can learn Seed Cannon.
14. Monster's equip. dropped info: 1-2 slots, 1-2 abilities already present, 6%
probability of equipment piece being dropped
15. Weapon abilities: Mag+3%, Piercing, Poisontouch, Str+3%
16. Armor abilities: HP+5%, Poisonward
17. Monster's attacks:
a) Seed Cannon - VS one chr - phd
18. Monster strategy: Let's do some weeding. Plant, eh? I wonder if it's
vulnerable to fire. Use Lulu's fire spells to deal big damage to it. Putting it
to sleep is a good idea.

13. Monster's Scan info: Casts Thunder. Physical attacks hardly hurt it.
Absorbs lightning, so Water is the way to go.

probability of equipment piece being dropped
15. Weapon abilities: Distil Mana, Piercing, Lightningst.
16. Armor abilities: Lightningward
17. Monster's attacks:
a) Thunder - LATT VS one chr - lightning mgd
18. Monster strategy: One-element-only type of enemy. Uses certain magic only,
has high Def and Mag, but low Mdef, so Lulu is chr to use. For this element
Water will take care of it in no time. Remember, physicals are useless unless
you have Armor Break ability to crush its armor.
19. Special note: White Element is an armored enemy. Piercing and Armor Break
are the way to go.

12. Monster's Sensor info: Vulnerable to lightning.

machine, but hits hard with its tool arm. Vulnerable to lightning, so Thunder
is the way to go.

17. Monster's attacks:

18. Monster strategy: What are robots weak against? Electricity. And this is
exactly what you should have Lulu use against it. Worker itself is not very
dangerous, as only attack it has is 'Arm stab', but it hurts. Unlike later
robotic enemies, stealing from Worker does not automatically kill it.

a) Fire - FATT VS one chr - fire mgd
b) 'Grow' - CATT - if Bomb suffers damage or gains health, it'll grow two times

or gains health for third time, it'll use Self-Destruct vs chr that dealt third
blow - requires two 'Grow'-s to charge
d) 'Bash' - VS one chr - phd
18. Monster strategy: Another of memorable enemies from previous FF. Attack it
three times and it'll Self-Destruct. Gotta love it. As countermeasure cast
NulBlaze prior to that and you will suffer no damage. Otherwise Blizzard or

on it may prompt it to shoot back with Pollen, which may put all chrs to sleep.
And usually Funguar appears with magic users only, and magic doesn't wake up
your chrs once they're asleep. So whatever you do, make sure that the attack
you're about to use will subdue Funguar in that one hit.

your chr. Use Esuna or Soft. Do not use Provoke or you'll be sorry.

doesn't use Bad Breath on first turn. Bad Breath is used after Malboro has been
a target of seven attacks (healing it also counts as an attack). Therefore,
after you hit it seven times, expect to see Bad Breath on first turn it gets.
You *should* have a protection against Confuse and Berserk. All other statuses
are manageable.

Curse

c) Breath - VS all chrs - inflicts Petrify - Breath is used after Demonolith
has been a target of three attacks, ie on first turn Demonolith reaches after
those three attacks
18. Monster strategy: Dangerous. Anything you do to Demonolith will prompt it
to counter with Pharaoh's Curse. Remove Poison at least. Its regular attack
puts Zombie and Curse on you. If that weren't enough, it has 'Stone breath',
which can petrify all of your chrs. You must have Stoneproof armors if you are
to stand a chance. Break its armor, then unload on it. Silencing Demonolith
disables its Pharaoh's Curse.
19. Special note: Demonolith is an armored enemy. Piercing and Armor Break are
the way to go.

18. Monster strategy: Once you see a treasure chest (along with Zaurus), steal
from it. Sometimes it'll be empty, in which case it'll turn into a Mimic.
Defeat it and you'll get lots of Gil. Do not Mug from it. Even in case it would
be empty, doing this will destroy Mimic and will not net you gil reward.
Interestingly, you cannot use Copycat command during phase of battle where
Mimic is present.
Furthermore, for as long as you don't trigger Mimic to appear, you can flee the
battle. Once Mimic enters, Flee and Escape commands are sealed. Once Mimic is
defeated, Flee command is once again selectable.

begin pummeling you with all sorts of spells. If you see Mana Focus, Emblem of
Fate is next attack it'll use. Shell yourself. His Dispel affects all chrs, not
just one. Physical attacks are the way to go.

battle) and tutorial battles (example: two Garudas on Besaid island) will be
left out. No longer will you need to search endlessly on where to find a

33.) ABOUT SIDEQUESTS
=============================================================================
=============================================================================
In this enormous section I will list information on many sidequests you can
undertake on in FFX. Some really big sidequests will gain section of their own.
So far Monster Arena and Dark aeons have been granted their wish.
--------------------I - CELESTIAL WEAPONS ---> A089

--------------------There's none among FFX players who didn't get frustrated over certain part of
this humongous quest. Personally I got annoyed as hell over lightning dodging,
chocobo racing and blitzball. But we all know, that anything can be
accomplished if you try hard enough (or are forced to, like I was for
blitzball... more on it later).
I'd like to start sidequests section with never-before-seen feature among FFX
guides (official ones don't count)... a complete and in-depth Celestial weapons
guide.
Yep, others have written it too, but they were only words... the thing that
separates mine from the others is that I will *show* you what to do as well.
Now, point me to a guide that has done that... Let's begin!
STEP 1 - CLOUDY MIRROR
Cloudy Mirror is the very first ingredient you need. Without it you cannot
start Celestial weapon (CW for short from now on) hunt. You can collect crests
and sigils, but you won't be able to open any chests/seals that hide CW. So
where do you get Cloudy Mirror? Train a chocobo in Calm Lands... well, you
don't even need to do that, just talk to chocobo lady and tell her you want to
ride a chocobo. Go to extreme southeast of Calm Lands and find the feather...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/primer24a.jpg
Once chocobo has jumped over, dismount it and cross the bridge to reach Remiem
temple. There are two chocobos near it, one on left, one on right. There's also
a sphere near left one, which you must examine...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/cloudym01.jpg
...before you're able to mount chocobo on the right...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/cloudym02.jpg
The other chocobo needs roughly 30 seconds to make it to the center ring, which
is more than enough time for you to win...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/cloudym03.jpg
Congratulations! What? It lost its power and there 'seems' to be a way to
restore it? Drat and double drat!
STEP 2 - CELESTIAL MIRROR
Okay, I'll power up the stupid thing... just don't think I'll do it for free.
Grrrr. Head on over to Macalania Woods. Find and talk to this woman...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/celestialm01.jpg
Waaaah, her husband is missing. Why would we care? Well, we need that mirror,
so you have no choice but to go here...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/celestialm02.jpg
Yay, family reunited forever... or is it...?
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/celestialm03.jpg
Just a bit to the left of the couple is this shiny path...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/celestialm04.jpg
On next screen you'll see another part of path branching off and at the end
you'll see the runaway kid.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/celestialm05.jpg
Talk to him and as sign of appreciation he'll let you obtain...

http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/celestialm06.jpg
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/celestialm07.jpg
Alright! This mirror opens ancient seals found throughout Spira... kind of. Now
you have all the means of obtaining all the weapons, all the crests and all the
sigils (well, for sigils I wouldn't be so sure as you'll surely get annoyed
when doing it, but it *is* doable).
STEP 3 - SAMPLE POWER-UP PROCESS
CW are best (this could be debatable) weapons for your seven playable
characters. They come in three parts: weapon itself, crest and sigil. When you
obtain the weapon, it's pretty weak. It has four slots, three of which are
empty and one being occupied with No AP ability (that means you will not get
any AP at end of battle). When you want to customize it, it says you can't.
WTF?
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/powerup001.jpg
You need respective crest and sigil, silly. In the pictures I used Rikku as an
example, so let's temporarily assume we got Godhand, Mercury Crest and Mercury
Sigil. You haven't forgotten where you got Celestial Mirror, right? Return
there and examine the big sphere...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/powerup002.jpg
You will be asked to present a certain chr's weapon. Choose Rikku...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/powerup003.jpg
For first upgrade you'll use Mercury Crest...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/powerup004.jpg
Let's see what happened with the weapon. No AP stayed, but Double Overdrive
ability was added (this applies for all 7 CW). Graaah... Mildly useful.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/powerup005.jpg
'Talk' to big sphere again, choose Rikku and offer Mercury Sigil...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/powerup006.jpg
After the second upgrade Godhand reaches its maximum!
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/powerup007.jpg
Here are the results of fiddling around with Godhand...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/godhandfinale.jpg
And here are ending abilities on CW of other chrs...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/masamunefinale.jpg
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/worldchampionfinale.jpg
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/nirvanafinale.jpg
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/caladbolgfinale.jpg
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/onionknightfinale.jpg
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/spiritlancefinale.jpg
STEP 4 - IN-DEPTH GUIDE TO OBTAINING CELESTIAL WEAPONS
#1A - TIDUS' CALADBOLG ---> A082
The weapon is found in Calm Lands. You may have seen a small path leading down
on extreme north of Calm Lands, but path is blocked by some guard.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/caladbolgpath.jpg
So we need to get rid of him. Talk to the chocobo lady and pick 3rd option.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/caladbolg01.jpg

After you successfully complete the first game, you'll be asked...


http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/caladbolg02.jpg
Select this course...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/caladbolg03.jpg
Successfully complete second game, and then choose this course...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/caladbolg04.jpg
...and finally this course...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/caladbolg05.jpg
Now you need to be *faster* than chocobo gal! It doesn't matter if she gets to
goal first, what matters is amount of baloons you collected and amount of birds
you hit. Once you have the faster time, choose to quit. Looksie... the guard
got interested...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/caladbolg06.jpg
Go to extreme north again and now go down the path, which was shown in the
first pic of this section. At the end you will notice a strange insignia on the
wall. Examine it and select 'Yes'...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/caladbolg07.jpg
Caladbolg is ours!
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/caladbolg08.jpg
#1B - SUN CREST ---> A578
It's in the room where you fought Y. woman...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/caladbolg09.jpg
...and chest with Sun Crest will appear!
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/caladbolg10.jpg
Note that you can return here later in the game, but there is just a small
matter of defeating Dark Bahamut first.
#1C - SUN SIGIL ---> A579
Again Calm Lands. Challenge chocobo lady to a race. You have to be *faster*
than 0.0.0. No, I'm not kidding. Yes, it's hard, but not impossible. If your
time is 0.0.0, you will not get Sun Sigil. You *have* to be faster than that.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/caladbolg11.jpg
A bit of explaining is necessary with two examples.
Example 1: Let's assume your time is 33 seconds, 12 baloons and 1 bird. 12
baloons shaves off 36 seconds, which would end in minus 3 seconds. But since
you were hit by 1 bird, this adds 3 seconds to your timer, thus ending at 0.0.0
exactly. If this would be the case, you WILL NOT get the sigil.
Example 2: Let's assume your time is 33 seconds and 12 baloons. 12 baloons
shaves off 36 seconds, which would end in minus 3 seconds. This means time
faster than 0.0.0, also resulting in you obtaining Sun Sigil.
#1D - FINAL RESULT
- Abilities on Caladbolg:
Triple Overdrive, Break Damage Limit, Magic Counter, Evade&Counter
- More HP Tidus has, more damage Caladbolg does
#2A - WAKKA'S WORLD CHAMPION ---> A640
Win a couple of Blitzball games (8 or so should be enough). When you have the
airship, go to the bar where Kimahri picked a fight with Ronsos before. Talk to

the bartender. If she says something like being even better, win some more
blitz games. But if you're greeted like this...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/worldchampion01.jpg
World Champion can't elude you much longer...
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/worldchampion02.jpg
#2B - JUPITER CREST ---> A284
In Aurochs' locker room examine the lockers. One of them is hiding the crest.
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/worldchampion03.jpg
#2C - JUPITER SIGIL ---> A285

Wakka.

--> And lastly, once you collect CW, crest and sigil for one chr, return to the
same big sphere-like thingey you used to get Celestial Mirror. Perform the
ritual and the weapon will be powered up.
Note: You *cannot* power up CW, if you have only the sigil for it. However,
weapon can be powered up, if you have only the crest. You can return later and
complete the upgrade with the sigil.
All of celestial weapons hold the innate ability of Piercing (discovered by
Terence).
---------------------II - BUTTERFLY CATCHER ---> A078
---------------------In Macalania Woods there is this minigame involving butterflies. Besides being
fairly useless and annoying there is one goal in this game - getting Saturn
Sigil for Kimahri's Spirit Lance. There are three times you can compete for
prizes: before defeating Spherimorph, after defeating Spherimorph and after you
have the airship permanently.
There's 2 butterfly minigames you can complete.
First I'll list the prizes you get for completing the games before defeating
Spherimorph.
- Butterfly game 1: 'Macalania Woods: North'
Time limit of 40 secs will lead you to 1x Ether.
- Butterfly game 2: 'Macalania Woods: Central'
Time limit of 40 secs will lead you to 1x MP Sphere.
Then for completion of games after Spherimorph's descent to Farplane.
- Butterfly game 1: 'Macalania Woods: North'
Time limit of 30 secs will lead you to 2x Elixir.
- Butterfly game 2: 'Macalania Woods: Central'
Time limit of 40 secs will lead you to 2x Megalixir.
And finally after you have the airship in your possession.
- Butterfly game 1: 'Macalania Woods: North'
Touch the multicolored butterfly and off we go. You have 30 seconds to find and
touch 7 blue ones. Touch any of red ones and you'll have to fight few monsters.
You can't afford to touch any of reds, otherwise you'll run out of time. Right
at start head back a bit and nab first blue butterfly that appears. Prize for
getting all seven blues is Teleport Sphere - in case 'north game' is the first
game you completed. If you have already done the other one, you'll receive
Saturn Sigil.
- Butterfly game 2: 'Macalania Woods: Central'
Near the bird-dude there's multicolored butterfly. Touch it and let the games
begin. 30 seconds are yours for 7 blues. This is fairly easy except for the
last part where you have to make a turn left - there's four reds cramped
closely together and in 9/10 cases you'll bump into one of them. To top it off,
last blue butterfly is very close to the exit from this part of forest, so be
really careful how far you go. Prize for getting all seven blues is Saturn
Sigil, but only in case you already completed 'north game' as well. If 'central
game' is first one you accomplished, you'll receive Teleport Sphere.
--------------------III - CHOCOBO TRAINER ---> A097
---------------------

Calm Lands... there's a lot to be done here. For starters let's get our hands
on the chocobo. On far north end of the Calm Lands there's a woman on chocobo.
Talk to her, choose 'I wanna ride one' or something close to that and training
shall begin.
Course 1 is called Wobbly Chocobo. Your goal is to finish the race under the
time limit by crossing the finish line between chocobo trainer and her chocobo.
Time limit is 12.8 seconds. Besting it or getting the same time will net you 1x
Elixir. Each subsequent time you best or tie your record you'll get 1x XPotion. Soooo, even the chocobo lady lies thru her teeth. Difficulty here is
that your chocobo will try swerving right and left at all times, so your job
will be to try and keep it steady. Winning this race opens...
Course 2 is called Dodger Chocobo. Your goal is to finish the race under the
time limit by crossing the finish line between chocobo trainer and her chocobo.
This time your chocobo will only be racing forward, but there'll be stuff
flying your way, so you should avoid it by turning left/right when necessary.
Time limit is 16.8 seconds. Besting it or getting the same time will net you 1x
Lv.1 Key Sp. Each subsequent time you best or tie your record you'll get 1x
Mega-Potion. Winning this race opens...
Course 3 is called Hyper Dodger Chocobo. Your goal is to finish the race under
the time limit by crossing the finish line between chocobo trainer and her
chocobo. Again your chocobo will only be racing forward, but there'll be even
more stuff flying your way, so you should avoid it by turning left/right when
necessary. Time limit is 18.5 seconds. Besting it or getting the same time will
net you 1x Lv.2 Key Sp. Each subsequent time you best or tie your record you'll
get 1x Ether. Winning this race opens...
Course 4 is called Catcher Chocobo. This time chocobo trainer herself
challenges you to a race. You start the race by southern entrance in Calm Lands
and finish the race close to northern exit of Calm Lands. There's a few
augmentations on the way as well. Each balloon picked up by you shaves off 3
seconds from your timer. Each bird that hits you adds 3 seconds to your timer.
What's bad and good about this is that same can also happen to your rival. To
even further annoy you, controls are pretty messed up... Time limit is 45.0
seconds. Besting it or getting the same time will net you 1x Lv.3 Key Sp. Each
subsequent time you best or tie your record you'll get 1x Turbo Ether.
Ultimately, you should aim for time *faster* than 0.0.0. If you manage to do
it, you'll receive Sun Sigil for Tidus' Caladbolg. I'd just like to put
something down, so this won't happen to you as it did to me. Anyway, in my
latest playthru I reached Calm Lands and decided to train a chocobo. As I got
to Catcher Chocobo course, I managed to get time faster than 0.0.0 on my first
try. I was thrilled, to say the least, but also worried about what I would
get... Lv.3 Key Sp., or Sun Sigil, or both? Luckily for us you get both
stuffs.:)
From now on, whenever you'll need to ride a chocobo, talk to trainer and she'll
provide a ride for you.
---------------IV - BAAJ TEMPLE ---> A042
---------------Once you've discovered Baaj Temple with coordinates found a bit below this
section, you're set. Main objective here is to obtain Anima.
When you 'appear', save at nearby save sphere. Now equip Tidus, Wakka and Rikku
with armors consisting of Deathproof, Stoneproof and Curseproof. Then proceed
to the end of pathway, jump in the water and try swimming toward the green
square. First obstacle will be your fishy friend from beginning of game:

Geosgaeno.

a) Stone Punch - VS one chr - phd + Petrify
b) KO Punch - VS one chr - phd + Instant KO and Curse
c) 'Swallow' - VS one chr - Geosgaeno can and will eat one of your chrs - if
chr eaten is under any beneficial and/or negative status, that status will be
copied onto Geosgaeno
d) 'Regurtitate A' - first turn Geosgaeno gets after 'Swallow', it'll spit chr
it ate back out onto remaining party members - damage dealt is calculated in
strategy below
e) 'Regurtitate B' - if chr eaten gets a turn before Geosgaeno does and you
choose Struggle, that chr will attack G-guy from inside - however, Geosgaeno
will counter by spitting that chr back out - damage dealt is calculated in
strategy below
f) 'Regurtitate C' - if chr eaten gets a turn before Geosgaeno does and you
choose Struggle, that chr will attack G-guy from inside - if this Struggle
kills Geosgaeno, it will counter by spitting that chr back out, dealing 9999
damage to all chrs
18. Monster strategy:
This fat fish is a very interesting enemy. Requires a bit of strategy, too.
Let's talk about it, then! Geosgaeno's KO and Stone Punch deal about 1300
damage, along with inflicting that annoying statuses which I assume you can't
be afflicted with cos of necessary protections.
On its third or fourth turn Geo loves to do 'swallow'. Now here's the big
catch: Whatever status swallowed character in under, that status/es will be
carried over to Geosgaeno! For example: Tidus has Protect, Shell, Haste and
Regen. If he gets swallowed, all of those statuses will be carried over to
Geosgaeno. Bad thing to happen!
Positive statuses you may copy: Protect, Shell, Reflect, NulTide, NulFrost,
NulShock, NulBlaze, Regen, Haste.

Negative statuses you may copy: Poison, Silence, Slow, Zombie, Armor Break,
Power Break, Mental Break, Magic Break.
However, if Tidus has Slow, Poison, Zombie etc., all of those statuses will be
carried over to Geosgaeno as well. Good thing to happen! I haven't managed to
Doom Geos., cos when I thought it'd eat one of my chrs, all it pulled off were
KO Punches. Guess you can't Doom it at all.
Ultimately, you could do this: inflict all characters with Zombie, Poison,
Regen. Then wait until someone gets eaten and voila! Geosgaeno successfully
doomed itself, hehehe. All you have to do is defend and heal yourself (cast
Curagas at zombied Geos. as well!) until Geosgaeno whittles down all of its HP
cos of the actions it's taking. You win and the entrance to Baaj Temple is now
wide open.
In case you'd like to beat this guy fair and square, you'll need to know the
following information: on first, second and possible third turn Geos. will use
Stone or KO punch. You must have Stoneproof and Deathproof armors or you'll
constantly be reviving. During this time attack or heal, doesn't matter. When
Geos. does 'Swallow', stop doing whatever you were doing and take under close
examination HP of the chr that got eaten. For this example I shall use Tidus.
'Regurtitate A' scenario: Tidus is swallowed with say 5000 HP. In case he gets
a turn inside Geosgaeno, he has only two options: Defend, which will forfeit
his turn, or Struggle, which will make Tidus attack Geosgaeno from inside. For
this scenario you should choose Defend. So Tidus will skip his turn. Afterwards
when Geosgaeno gets a turn, it'll spit Tidus back out and deal damage to all
chrs based on following equation:
([Eaten chr's current HP] minus [1] equals [damage dealt to all chrs])
So damage dealt would be 4999 to all three characters. Result would be: Tidus
left at 1 measly HP and other two chrs possibly killed.
'Regurtitate B' scenario: Scenery is exactly the same as in above example, but
this time have Tidus use Struggle. Geosgaeno will take damage, but then answer
with an attack, which spits Tidus back out, dealing damage based on following
equation:
([Eaten chr's current HP] equals [damage dealt to eaten chr])
So whatever HP Tidus would have, he'd be KO-ed.
'Regurtitate C' scenario: Scenery is exactly the same as in above example, but
this time have Tidus use Struggle. Also, this Struggle would have to kill
Geosgaeno. It will take damage, but will then counter with an attack, which
spits Tidus back out, dealing 9999 damage to all chrs. Everybody dies, and it's
Game Over. So, if you have a feeling that Struggle might kill Geosgaeno, don't
do it. Wait for chr to be available again, and *then* kill Geosgaeno for good.
Max dagame dealt this way is 9999 damage.
Now that Geosgaeno has been returned to the planet, proceed inside Baaj Temple.
When you reach Antechamber, you'll see six statues (three on each side of the
room) and a big 'poster'. Examine the poster and it will clue you in on
Destruction Spheres. You must have used Des. Sp. in each temple you visited so
far and opened the chest, which has been jinxed by Des. Sp. in each temple in
order to light up the statues. There's two chests here - one with 4x MegaPhoenix and other with 1x Megalixir.
Top left belongs to Besaid, middle left Macalania, bottom left Zanarkand, top
right Bevelle, middle right Djose and bottom right Kilika. By approaching the
statue it will light up, meaning you broke the seal for respective temple. BTW,
Bevelle statue will light up automatically, there's *no way* you could've
missed that one.
Picture support for this is here:

If you followed my guide, you should've broken five seals already. Hmmm,
where's the sixth one? In Zanarkand Temple. Return there and again we deal with
Tetris. Real easy, tho' - you have to step on all of square shapes found in
both rooms. Once stepped on, Destruction Sp. will reveal itself. Nab it, then
go to the monitor in that other room. Insert DS in one of the holes. Collect
Magistral Rod and sixth seal is broken. Return to Baaj Temple and Anima is
yours. Damn, I never knew that about S... Once she's finished rambling, return
the way you came in here. When you're in the pool where you wasted Geo, swim to
the surface and press Square to get out of the water. Examine save sphere and
beam up to continue your adventures...
----------------V - REMIEM TEMPLE ---> A456
----------------Once you can ride chocobos, nail one in Calm Lands. Go to southern entrance and
go right from it. You'll see a yellow feather in the ground. While riding a
chocobo, step over it and press X to jump the gap. Dismount, go right and
you've reached Remiem Temple.
Here there's six things to be done:
- obtain Vol. XXIV *KEY ITEM*
- obtain Magus Sisters
- another chocobo race
- obtain Flower Sceptre
- obtain Moon Sigil
- obtain Cloudy Mirror
# Vol. XXIV *KEY ITEM* stuff-to-do
Real simple. Proceed further down the path past left chocobo and pick up the
Primer edition.
# Chocobo race & Cloudy Mirror stuff-to-do
You may have noticed weird shapes beneath R. Temple. This is a racing track for
chocobos. There's a chocobo on the left and chocobo on the right. First examine
the sphere which is located near chocobo on the left. Once you're told what to
do, you should be interested in right chocobo. Examine it with X, choose to
ride and prepare. Your goal is to reach the center of the circle first with as
many chests you can open on the way and the least poles touched on the way.
Prizes are as follows:
- first win, doesn't matter what happened: Cloudy Mirror
- win with one opened chest, no poles: 1x Elixir
- win with two opened chests, no poles: 1x Megalixir
- win with three opened chests, no poles: 30x Wings to Discovery
- win with four opened chests, no poles: 30x Pendulum
- win with five opened chests, no poles: 60x Three Stars
- winning with whatever happens afterwards: 1x Potion
# Flower Scepter & Moon Sigil stuff-to-do
Inside the temple you'll meet Belgemine. Now she'll tell you who she really is
and offer a challenge - if you manage to waste all of her Aeons, you'll receive
Moon Sigil.
You'll have to defeat Valefor, Ifrit, Ixion, Shiva, Bahamut, Anima, Yojimbo,
Magus Sisters. First five you have to defeat in order listed, while Yojimbo and
Anima appear as you get them. Magus Sisters will appear last, ie after you get
them from Antechamber behind Belgemine.

Energy Ray - STATT VS one/all chr/s - std
Energy Blast - STATT VS one/all chr/s - std
Sonic Wings - VS one chr - phd + Delay effect

6. Boss strategy:
As Valefor is first Belgemine's aeon you'll be fighting, she isn't too tough,
but she ain't too easy either. Main point of being careful are her Sonic Wings,
which beside dealing damage can also delay your aeon's next attack a bit. If
she kept using Sonic Wings, you'd lose. She is also capable of using Energy Ray
at any of her normal turns. When her Overdrive is full, Energy Blast is used.
For fighting I recommend using currently your fastest aeon, which would be
Shiva. In case you can teach your aeons abilities, teach Shiva Haste and
Cura/ga. As she is summoned, use her normal attacks to strike Valefor down. If
Valefor's gauge gets full, use Shield. And that's that.
For advancing past level 1 for the first time you receive 4x Lightning Gem. In
case you missed fighting Belgemine's Ixion on the road to Moonflow, you'll
receive Summoner's Soul *KEY ITEM* first, and then 4x Lightning Gem. Beat
Valefor any time afterwards as many times as you want and you'll receive 4x
Power Sphere.

6. Boss strategy:
Just a bit stronger than Valefor, Ifrit is a manageable guy. Since you now
possess Summoner's Soul regardless of what you did in your current game, teach
Shiva Haste, Protect, Cura/ga, NulBlaze.
Summon her for this battle as well. First cast Haste, followed by Protect, then
proceed with normal attacks against Ifrit. If he wears Shiva's HP down, use
Cura/ga to heal. Ice type spells will also do nice healing if you don't have
Cura/ga. Prior to Ifrit's Hell Fire (ie, if he manages to pull one off) cast
NulBlaze. Heheh.
For advancing past level 2 for the first time you receive 30x X-Potion. In case
you missed fighting Belgemine's Shiva in Calm Lands, you'll receive Aeon's Soul
*KEY ITEM* first, and then 30x X-Potion. Beat Ifrit any time afterwards as many
times as you want and you'll receive 5x Mana Sphere.

d) 'Ixion evades!' - this note means that Ixion has now become hard to hit
physically as he poured all his energy into evasive measures
e) 'Ixion defends!' - this note means that Ixion used Shield command
6. Boss strategy:
Use Shiva yet again. Ixion's Str is a cinch lower that Ifrit's, so you're
looking at the roughly same guy with different attacks. At start of battle use
Haste on Shiva. But Haste only, don't bother with Protect. Ixion can use
Aerospark on his normal turn, which will dispel all positive statuses on Shiva
- that's why it's better to bother with only Haste.
On some of Ixion's normal turns you'll see one of two notes pop up on screen.
If it's about evading, use magic attacks on Ixion or Heavenly Strike. If it's
about defending, don't attack, instead check up on Shiva. If she needs to be
healed, use cure spells or ice spells. Otherwise recast Haste if she isn't
hasted already, or Haste was dispeled. If Ixion manages to get Overdrive, cast
NulShock before it.
For advancing past level 3 for the first time you receive 10x Chocobo Feather.
Beat Ixion any time afterwards as many times as you want and you'll receive 8x

Blizzaga - IATT VS one chr - ice mgd

6. Boss strategy:
You know, when you fight Shiva, she's a pretty smart girl (and that means both
meanings:)). Since you can't use Shiva for this battle, I'd recommend using
someone with good Def and HP - Bahamut. Prior battle teach him Haste, Shell,
Cura/ga, NulFrost and Protect.
As battle starts, cast Haste and Protect on Bahamut, Shell on *Shiva*. Then
keep hacking away at Shiva. For most of the fight she'll try to hurt Bahamut
with her 'kick' or casting Blizzara. Rarely she decides for Heavenly Strike. As
her HP gets low, she tends to use Blizzaga on her, but it won't be as
efficient, as you've put Shell on her. If Bahamut's HP gets low, don't forget
to heal him.
For advancing past level 4 for the first time you receive 60x Mega-Potion. Beat
Shiva any time afterwards as many times as you want and you'll receive 6x Star
Curtain.

6. Boss strategy:
Boring! This Bahamut is exactly the same as the one you fought in Purifico with
one exception: every time you attack Bahamut, he'll counter with 'swipe'. On
his normal turns he'll count down turns to Mega Flare.
Summon Shiva for this battle, use Haste and Protect on her, then keep
attacking. If Bahahut gets to the point where he can use Mega Flare, use
Shield. And that's all there is to it.
For advancing past level 5 for the first time you receive Flower Scepter *KEY

6. Boss strategy:
This also is boring, it's not even funny. If you have troubles seeing your
Yojimbo do Zanmato, here's the chance for you to see it, but Yojimbo requires
lots of turns before his Overdrive fills all the way up.
Shiva yet again is recommended. Once summoned, Haste and Protect on her, then
hacking away at Yojimbo. He'll fall sooner or later.

Yojimbo any time afterwards as many times as you want and you'll receive 10x

Dispel - VS one chr - shatters most positive statuses
Demi - GRATT VS one/all chr/s - tears off 25% current HP

6. Boss strategy:
Last two fights are at least somewhat interesting. Besides lots of HP Anima
boasts high Str and Mag, but she lacks speed. So once again Shiva to the rescue
(I luv ya, my girl!). Since it is not necessary to beat Anima before you obtain
Magus Sisters, you can also use them for your aid.
Cos Anima knows Dispel, it is recommended you bestow Shiva with Haste only.
Every time Shiva gets dispeled, recast Haste at her. 'Stare' and Pain should be
nothing to worry about, along with Demi. As you attack Anima relentlessly, keep
an eye on both Shiva's HP and Anima's overdrive gauge. At least two turns
before Anima's gauge would get full, cease attacking. Heal Shiva first, then
use Shield. Oblivion will deal crappy damage, but it will take a while before
Shiva has another turn cos of enormous Delay effect.
After Oblivion proceed with using the regular strategy.
For advancing past level 7 for the first time you receive 60x Stamina Spring.
Beat Anima any time afterwards as many times as you want and you'll receive 10x

When their overdrive gauges fill up and they're all still alive
a) Delta Attack - STATT VS one/all chr/s - std - 6 consecutive hits
6. Boss strategy:
Wide repertoire of spells, three enemies to deal with, decent AI... all of this
combined promises a challenging battle. And indeed it is. You might actually
have some problems beating this one. Let's see... for your side I recommend
Bahamut, cos his Impulse hits every target on the field.
As you summon him, cast Haste on him, but only that! Cindy knows Dispel, so
it's pointless to recast multiple beneficial spells, only to have them negated.
Use Impulse twice (meanwhile you'll get attacked of course, but just bear with
it), then normal attack on Mindy. This just eliminated enemy party's magician,
as well as danger of being Delta Attack-ed. After Mindy is eliminated, heal
Bahamut (cure spells!).
Now you should get rid of Sandy. But prior to that, cast Reflect on both Cindy
and Sandy - this will net you all the good spells Cindy will try to cast upon
them (Regen, Protect, Shell, Cura). Mighty Guard still gets thru Reflect, but
bear with it.
Once you get rid of Sandy, it's only Cindy remaining. She's not so hard, cos
for the most of the battle she'll be using support spells. Do take care near
end of battle (when Cindy is low on HP), as she can chuck Holy your way.
Magus Sisters are defeated, and all of Belgemine's aeons as well.
For advancing past level 8 for the first time you receive 40x Shining Gem. Beat
Sisters any time afterwards as many times as you want and you'll receive 12x
Power Sphere. If you choose to s... Belgemine any time after you defeat
Sisters, you'll receive Moon Sigil, final upgrade for Yuna's Nirvana. You won't
be able to fight Belgemine's aeons anymore... but who cares, really? Awards
you're receiving are pathetic.
# Magus Sisters stuff-to-do

This is the big one why we've come here. There's a sealed door behind
Belgemine. To unseal it, you need three things: Flower Scepter, Blossom Crown
and a bit of patience.
- to get Flower Scepter, you need to waste Belgemine's Bahamut
- to get Blossom Crown, you need to capture at least one of every fiend from Mt
Gagazet; then return to Monster Arena and manager will hand over B. Crown
- you must obtain Anima and Yojimbo
- once all of this is done, approach the sealed door, which will now unseal
- Magus Sisters are yours

Sphere, 2x X-Potion
Equipment: Flexible Arm
Key Items: Primer XXV
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Available once you dismantle Defender X, you can complete this dungeon to nail
Yojimbo, another one of three optional Aeons you can find during the game. Oh
yeah, you'll also need about 300 grans.
So, once Defender X is defeated, don't go ahead, but instead take a right by
following the path down. Here there will be a save sphere and a bit more left
entrance to Cavern of S. F.
The dungeon itself is pretty straightforward, with no big turns, but in here
there are a few nice enemies to deal with. If you encounter Tonberries, put
them to sleep and then unload on them. Flee from Magic Pots battles - trying to
guess what eye is right *is* useless. Ghosts drop armor with No Encounters
ability, if you're lucky.
Enter the dungeon. You'll arrive in a big room (teleport pad in here is
inactive yet), with path continuing on the right (according to mini-map).
Follow the path (another path will branch to the right, leading to chest with
1x Megalixir). Return on the path and enter second big room. You'll see a
scene. Further ahead will be next tunnel, with paths branching off forward,
right and left. Forward one is an obvious dead end, right one leads to chest
with Lv.2 Key Sp. Take left path to arrive an four-cross intersection. Forward
path takes you to chest with 1x Fortune Sp., right one is dead end... left path
again the right one? Yep. Yet *another* four-cross intersection. This time left
one is dead end (here nail Al Bhed Primer XXV *KEY ITEM*), forward you'll see
chest with 2x Mega-Potion, and right one leads to save sphere. Save your game,
for there is boss ahead.

three choices. Pick whichever you want, and then pay him 300000 gil you brought
along. Yojimbo is yours. If at any time you pay him triple amount of his asking
price, he'll throw in 2x Teleport Sphere. When teleported back, teleport to

You'll have to do quite some walking, but eventually you will come to the
password.
Password 2: VICTORIOUS
Opens up Besaid Ruins 1 destination in NavMap, that will lead you to armor
Victorious (Lightningproof, Fireproof, Iceproof, 1 FS). Pretty useless.

http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/victoriousdestination.jpg
How can you work it out?
The sphere in Besaid tells you how it's done. Just collect the letters from
Kilika forest, and the ruins in Bikanel island, and then write them out, small
letters first, then capitals for the last word. You take one letter from
Kilika, then one from Bikanel etc, and you end up with 'the password is
VICTORIOUS' (that is in the English version of the game anyway).
Password 3: MURASAME
Opens up Besaid Ruins 2 destination in NavMap, that will lead you to Auron's
weapon Murasame (Piercing, One MP Cost, 2 FS).
Picture support:
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/murasamedestiny.jpg
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/murasamedestination.jpg
How can you work it out?
To find the password, go to the Baaj Temple ruins and go outside, examine the
sphere on the pillars to the right of this area, it will mention where the
password can be found, and you don't have to be a brain surgeon to work it out.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------VIII - O. RUINS ---> A405
Enemies: Floating Death, Master Coeurl, Zaurus, treasure chest (latter may turn
into Mimic), Great Malboro, Wraith, Master Tonberry, Defender Z, Varuna,
Adamantoise, Spirit, Halma, Black Element, Puroboros, Machea, Demonolith,
Gemini (there're two kinds)
Items: 1x Teleport Sphere, 1x Magic Sphere, 1x Friend Sphere
Equipment: None
Key Items: Primer XXVI
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Supposedly hardest dungeon in the game. Yeah right.:) Before you venture in the
deepest depths of ruins, you *need* one ability. First Strike. Without it
you're doomed before you even begin the descent. Why? Great Malboros found in
O. Ruins will *always* ambush you, and they use Bad Breath on first turn. So
unless you have Ribbon in your armor, your chrs will strike each other down.
Now you can either use Flee with whoever has that command (and of course you
equipped him/her with First Strike as well) or use Delay Buster against it,
delaying its turn and then proceeding hacking away at it.
On FFX message board over at Gamefaqs I've noticed that there's a subquest
involving opening chests found in O. Ruins in certain order. At the end you'll
receive 99x Warp Sphere. Want a friendly piece of advice? Don't bother with it.
There are other ways to receive Warp Spheres or to find easier alternatives for
it.
Your ultimate goal in this dungeon are two wanna-be-hard bosses. I missed them
in FF9, but they make a return in this FF. Yap, it's our Ultima Weapon and
Omega Weapon, both of which have been beefed up a bit. Okay, Omega has been
beefed a lot.
Let us start by saving at the save point. This is the only one in whole
dungeon, so make use of it while you're here. Mini-map will be useless, at
least until you explore the whole dungeon. So let's start searching around. Up
ahead you'll see a big crossroads. Forward path leads to a dead end. Right path
will take you to a small round-shaped room with two chests. Open them...
chances are you'll fight some monsters (Zaurus and possibly Mimic). This is a
part of treasure hunting minigame I mentioned above. If you happen to open a
treasure with monsters, you have to win that battle. You can't flee and for
some strange reason Copycat command cannot be selected. There's a left turn
right before this round room, but it leads to a forward path I mentioned
before. So you need to go left on the big crossroads. You'll end up in another
round room with three chests. Hm, no path forward? Not true!
Just before this room there is path that leads to the right. Take it. At next
intersection you will have a chance of going left or right. Left path takes you
to another room with three chests. Take the right path. You'll see a glyph on
the wall. Touch it, but nothing will happen. You have to power it up first.

Across this glyph is a tiny slope, which leads to another chest, but it is
currently off limits. Continue past the glyph. You'll end up in X-marks-thespot room with four chests. In the back you'll see two blue lights. Near the
base of left one is Vol. XXVI *KEY ITEM*, which completes your collection of
Primers... finally, I might add.
Going left or right will take you around for a spin. Go left first, and then
take another left to reach a room with a glyph stone at the end. Touch this
glyph and glyph you saw before is now operational. Return to it, touch it, and
the missing part of tiny slope behind you will conveniently rise from the
bowels... okay, from below. Go up the path, and have two more desserts served.
I can already tell that reward for your troubles is a crappy one: 1x Teleport
Sphere. Yay us... Return to X room, and this time, go right. You'll reach a
square shaped stone in the floor. Step on it. Look, a green square will appear
in minimap. Approach it...

g) Core Energy - NATT VS one chr - mgd
h) Confuse - VS one chr - inflicts Confusion
18. Monster strategy:
From the look of Ultima's attacks you'd think that he'll be a strong boss. But
noooo... he has a set pattern of moves. And I'm here to disclose it in
following strategy. Revealed first will be the pattern of how exactly does
Ultima operate from commencing battle.
1st turn - 'Swipe'
2nd turn - Silence OR Break

3rd turn - Core Energy


4th turn - Holy OR Sleep OR Confusion
5th turn - 'Swipe'
6th turn - Shimmering Rain
Then pattern repeats itself. 'Swipe' deals 3200 damage, Core Energy 4000, Holy
8000 - these are attacks that hit one chr. Shimmering Rain deals 2500 damage to
all.
Let's talk about actual strategy for this boss-wannabe. As battle starts, use
Dark Buster (Smoke Bomb) and Silence Buster (Silence Grenade) against Ultima.
Woohoo, suck on this, Ultima. Try to nail me now. You're safe until Ultima's
3rd turn, where he uses Core Energy. By Shelling you'll take measly 2000
damage. One Curaga and we're back in fighting shape. Re-Dark and re-Silence
Ultima. You're again safe until 6th turn, where he will use Shimmering Rain.
Note that damage done by this attack is of special type damage, falling in the
category of attacks which cannot be halved in any way. Remember to heal up
after Shimmering Rain is used.
For players deciding to toy around with Ultima I'm suggesting Reflecting your
chrs. Then Ultima will successfully Silence itself, hehe. And how about seeing
holy stars?
I'll leave it up to you to choose necessary course of action to take down this
wussie. The quickest way to 'defeat' Ultima is by Bribing it for 1 million gil,
in which case you'll get a bunch of Pendulums, enough for few Master Thief
armors.
Once Ultima is defeated, you can now use the teleport to be transported to
other part of O. Ruins. If you go left first, you can get a goodie from chest
found here - Friend Sphere. Note that in each stone circle there'll be a fight.
You can flee from those anyway. Once you swerve right as long as you can... 'It
seems we rate his personal attention now.'

Shimmering Rain - STATT VS all chrs - std - cannot be halved in any way
Nova - STATT VS all chrs - std
Demi - NATT VS all chrs - tears off 25% of current HP
Core Energy - NATT VS one chr - mgd
Ultima - NATT VS all chrs - mgd

18. Monster strategy:


Now this guy is THE tough optional boss you're looking for. Let's talk first
about damage he can do to you. 'Swipe' strikes for about 4000, Core Energy for
6000 - this is for single target. Shimmering Rain does 3200 to all, and Nova
does whopping 8000 damage to all chrs. Beware of Ultima - strikes for about
5000 to all.
Unfortunately you can't afflict him with any status, so you'll have to duke it
out close and personal. And his attacks do not follow a set attack pattern.
For starters cast Hastega, Protect and lastly Shell. In your armor you should
have melted Stoneproof and Confuseproof. This takes care of Omega's Confuse and
Break. Protect will help against 'Swipe', Shell against Demi and Ultima. Nova
and Shimmering Rain can't be halved damage-wise, so you'll have to bear it.
Nova is Omega's strongest attack - it seems to me that it is used every 10th
turn Omega got since last Nova it threw at you. BTW, remember to call in
Kimahri to use Lancet on Omega to learn Nova (if you miss the chance, you can
still learn Nova from Nemesis).
Rely only on your chrs and their brute strength. If you'll be summoning, use
your Aeons to their fullest. With that said, summon them in Overdrive and let
it rip.
19. Special info: Kimahri can learn Nova.
Once Omega is defeated as well, you'll be transported to the entrance of O.
Ruins. Talk about instant wish... chest? What about it? Oh, the one in Omega
room? Magic Sphere, if you must absolutely get it.
--------------------IX - LIGHTNING DODGER ---> A303
--------------------This sidequest is available once you regain control of the airship. Return to
Thunder Plains. You'll need a lot of patience and nerves of steel for this
mini-game.
Main quest of this so-called mini game is to obtain Venus Sigil for Lulu's
Onion Knight. Once you've saved your game, equip somebody with No Encounters
ability. I assure you don't want to be bothered by random battles while
avoiding those sand-blasted grease monkeys... wait, that's wrong phrase...
annoying thunders. The moment you see a flash, press X immediately to have
Tidus jump out of the way. You *mustn't* seek shelter under the rods, save or
leave the screen - doing so will reset the counter! You also mustn't mash X
button rapidly, as you'll get hit. After you've dodged 200 bolts, return to
front of Rin's agency, open the chest and Venus Sigil is yours. There's also a
bit of crappy rewards for you to obtain, if you dodge following amounts of
bolts:
5 bolts - 2x X-Potion
10 bolts - 2x Mega-Potion
20 bolts - 2x MP Sphere (not enough for one Holy s...)
50 bolts - 3x Strength Sphere (mildly useful)
100 bolts - 3x HP Sphere (oooh, 900 HP increase... sarcastic yay)
150 bolts - 4x Megalixir (we should've gotten some Master Spheres instead)
200 bolts - Venus Sigil
Guess what else? You can receive prizes for letting bolts actually strike you.

30 bolt hits - 1x Ether


80 bolt hits - 1x Elixir
--------------------------X - VILLAGE OF THE CACTUARS ---> A080
--------------------------Using spheres to control the sands, the Cactuars defend their village. They are
the Gatekeepers. Present all 10 of the spheres they bear to the stone altar,
and the way to the village will open.
This sidequest is available once you regain control of the airship. Return to
Bikanel Island. Remember part of desert with sandstorms and a big cactuar stone
in front of it? Now you can start the sidequest involving those two.
A picture showing the location of the stone available at following URL:
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/quest_start.jpg
Way of the Gatekeepers I
- It may look like fun and games, but the Gatekeepers are a proud race of
warriors.
- While they dislike combat, they will turn and face any enemy that takes their
back.
Way of the Gatekeepers II
- Should you fail to sneak up on them they will realise they have overestimated their enemy and depart in disgust.
Way of the Gatekeepers III
- Sneak up on the cactuars when their backs are turned to confront them. It's
better that way, believe me.
Spheres
- Fail to catch the gatekeeper unaware, and you'll obtain the Sphere del
Perdedor!
- Best the gatekeeper and obtain his personalised sphere!
- Collect lots of spheres to receive an award at the village (note: the awards
suck IMO, so don't bother again if you fail).
'Song of the Gatekeeper'
10 little gatekeepers play in the sand.
Tomay's gone. Gone to fetch the water.
Be back soon.
This is your clue to whereabouts of first Cactuar. Only water you've seen
around here is at the Oasis. So that's where we're going. BTW, No Encounters
ability will help immensely to avoid random battles. What's that green thing in
the shadows to the right? Time to catch Tomay: 10 seconds.
A picture showing Tomay's location available at following URL:
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/tomay.jpg
If you manage to sneak up on Tomay, you will have to fight him as well.:)
Defeat him to receive Tomay's sphere. If you fail to sneak up on him, you get
Sphere del Perdedor. You don't have to beat the Cactuar once in battle with
him. You can escape and you will still get personalised sphere. You must not
lose to the Cactuar with all three chrs getting KO-ed, or you'll get Game Over.
Whatever the outcome, return to stone altar and insert the sphere you got.

9 little gatekeepers play in the sand.


Rovivea's gone walkabout.

What a dumb clue. Rovivea can be found running around in east Sanubia desert in

Pretty obvious. Return to Central Sanubia desert and go in the part of it where
there are lots of ruins. Time to catch those two: 13 seconds. Get the sphere
and put it in the altar.

Vague clue again, grrr. Go to central desert and locate westernmost treasure
chest. I thought we opened it already? Time to catch Robeya: 14 seconds. Hmm,
more chests? If you manage, you can grab 2x Shadow Gem, 1x Shining Gem, 1x
Blessed Gem. Get the sphere and put it in the altar.

'Song of the Gatekeeper'


3 little gatekeepers play in the sand.
A fiery inscription--The lord of the hole is gone. Isrra thinks.
Be back soon.
This has to do with sandholes in which you fought Sandragoras before. *Leave*
this screen and come back. Isrra can now be found in one of the holes. Time to
catch Isrra: 15 seconds. Lately I've discovered something neat. As you enter
the screen where you have 15 seconds to capture Isrra, notice the sandhole to
the left of your position. Also notice the minimap in upper left corner?
Minimap ain't available during any other capture-the-Cactuar screens. Anyway,
enter the sandhole and keep pushing down. You will travel all the way to the
bottom of the screen thru an invisible passageway below the sand. You'll pop
out in a sandhole a bit to the left of Isrra. As you'll see, you're very close
to him. So just get near him and he's yours to fight. Get the sphere and put it
in the altar.

Why
USS
you
and

do they have to go all the way to the Oasis?:) Go there and you will see
Enterprise 'event'. Hey! Go to your airship and head for the place where
fought Evrae for first time. Time to catch Elio: 11 seconds. Get the sphere
put it in the altar.

Depending on how many Cactuar spheres you got, right chest will have following
awards: for 1-2 spheres you get 1x Potion, for up to 5 spheres 1x Elixir, for
up to 7 spheres 1x Megalixir, for up to 9 spheres 1x Friend Sphere. Major
letdown, yet again. Pick the grand prize, Mercury Sigil in the other chest
found here.
-------------------------XI - MUSIC & MOVIE SPHERES ---> A380 & A371
-------------------------You know the theatre in Luca? Well, in this place you can buy Music and Movie
Spheres. 1 Music Sphere costs 2 grans, while 1 Movie Sphere costs 5 grans. The
longer you progress in the game, more Music and/or Movie Spheres will be
available. There is a grand total of 71 Music and 50 Movie Spheres available at

the end of game. Once you purchase first 68 Music Spheres, talk to the chap
that sells them. He'll offer you to buy last three Music Spheres, thus
completing your collection.
The very last movie/s, ie ones you see after you finish the game by defeating
last boss, cannot be bought no way whatsoever.
-----------------------------------------XII - RETURNING TO TEMPLE'S FAYTH CHAMBERS
-----------------------------------------I bet that some of you tried to return to the temples they've visited so far,
but you couldn't enter cos path would be blocked by some bozos? Here's what you
must do: After certain event Highbridge destination will become available on
NavMap. You'll know when you see it. Go there, proceed to the end of
'driveway' and see the event that'll follow.
Now you will no longer be stopped from entering the temples. You can revisit
Besaid temple (Dark Valefor needs to be feathered first), Kilika temple, Djose
temple, Macalania temple (Dark Shiva needs to be put on ice first), Cavern of
S. F. (room where you got money eating machine), Baaj temple and Remiem temple.
Most of those revisited will let you hear a part of the story and you'll be
awarded some spheres most of the time.
Besaid temple - Evasion Sp., 2x Potion, Hi-Potion, Elixir, Wht Magic Sp.
Kilika temple - Luck Sp., Accuracy Sp., Defence Sp., Agility Sp.
Djose temple - Luck Sp., Magic Defence Sp., Agility Sp.
Macalania temple - Magic Sp., Magic Defence Sp., Accuracy Sp.
Cavern of S. F. - Strength Sp.
Baaj temple - nothing (damn!)
Remiem temple - Defence Sp.

---------------------XIV - AP GAINING TRICK ---> A840, A840A
---------------------There are cases when your chrs need to gain a lot of AP to quickly cross lot of
Sphere Grid. This trick is (a common knowledge on FFX gameplay board) just what
you need, and it finally has a place in this guide as well. *crowd cheers*
Let's see just what do you require for this wonderful AP gaining machina. I'll
make it be as easy as possible.
You'll need to capture at least one of every capturable fiend in Cavern of S.
F. so that you unlock Don Tonberry in Monster Arena, make sure your chrs know
Comrade overdrive mode, and a few empty three-slotted weapons.
What I'll list first is with what weapon abilities you can work around with,
slowly advancing to better ones until I'll finish at the best combination
possible. The trick itself will be listed at the end.
At very beginning I'll need you to check something. If you have already
captured Tonberry or Master Tonberry, or have Don Tonberry unlocked, give them
a shot, but do not try to kill them yet! This fight is just a test to see which
three of your chrs have killed the most enemies. Have each chr do something
simple to Tonberry or whatever Tonberry you're fighting, and this Tonberry will
counter with Karma. Take note which three chrs took the highest damage from
Karma, for these three chrs are the ones you should be using (make sure at
least one knows Flee).
A - STRIKE ONE
If you're just starting with this trick, you'll need just one ability, which is
Overdrive->AP. For one you'll need 10x Door to Tomorrow. There are several ways
you can obtain Doors to Tomorrow, or the weapon with ability itself.
- unlock six area creations, which will unlock Catastrophe; for this effort
you'll be awarded 99x Door to Tomorrow from arena manager
- if Ultima Weapon hasn't been defeated yet, steal from it; usual steal is 10x,
and rare 20x Door to Tomorrow
- once Bomb King is unlocked (by capturing 5 Bombs, Grenades and Puroboroses)
you can defeat him for 1x Door to Tomorrow (drops 2x for an Overkill)
- you can Bribe Mech Leader for few Doors to Tomorrow
- only Ultima Buster drops weapons with Overdrive->AP ability already on it,
but chances are you haven't unlocked him yet or he's too powerful for you to
defeat
B - STRIKE TWO
So you've gained access to Overdrive->AP weapon? Cool. But wouldn't it be
cooler if you'd gain double amount of AP? That's just what Double AP ability is

for. For Double AP you need 20x Megalixir.


- Bribe Xiphos for all Megalixirs you'll need
C - STRIKE THREE
What's better than Double AP? Triple AP of course. Uhhh, but you need 50x Wings
to Discovery for it. True, but what if I tell you how you can get a weapon with
Triple AP already on it? Interested? Read on.:)
Enemies that drop Triple AP weapons are One-Eye, Ultima Buster, Th'uban and
Neslug. Latter three can be way out of your league, but One-Eye can be
manageable. To unlock One-Eye you need to capture at least 4 of each Floating
Eye, Buer, Evil Eye, Ahriman, Floating Death.
For One-Eye strategy look below in Monster Arena section, but know that when
you defeat him you'll most often get three-sloted Triple AP weapons with two
slots with nothing in it.
D - STRIKE FOUR
So, Overdrive->AP and Triple AP combo is yours. There is one more stuff that
can be added onto that combo, making it complete. The lowest alternative of
last bunch is SOS Overdrive. For one you need 20x Gambler's Spirit. It can be
obtained in bunch of ways.
- Bribe Floating Death
- unlock Th'uban to receive 99x Gambler's Spirit
- defeat Ornitholestes for 2x Gambler's Spirit (4x for Overkill)
- Steal Gambler's Spirit in amounts of 30 from Omega Weapon
- finally, all Original Creations but Nemesis offer Gambler's Spirit as common
stuff to be stolen
- Xiphos, Machea, Behemoth and Behemoth King may drop weapons with SOS
Overdrive ability already on it
E - STRIKE FIVE
Better choice from SOS Overdrive is Double Overdrive. For one you need 30x
Underdog's Secret. You can't get them so easily.
- receive 99x Underdog's Secret from Rin when you speak to him on airship, but
only if you possess all 26 Al Bhed Primers in your inventory
- kill Th'uban for 1x Underdog's Secret (2x for Overkill)
- Varuna, Ornitholestes and Ultima Weapon may drop Double Overdrive weapons
I don't recommend Double Overdrive. Too much of a hassle trying to collect
Underdog's Secrets.
F - STRIKE SIX
Ultimate combo you can wish for is Overdrive->AP, Triple AP and Triple
Overdrive. You need 30x Winning Formula for one Triple Overdrive.
- get 99x Winning Formula from arena manager once you unlock Neslug (unlock all
area creations)
- defeat Ultima Buster for 1x Winning Formula (2x for Overkill)
- Bribe Sand Worm
- defeat Th'uban, Earth Eater, Ultima Buster or Omega Weapon and you just may
be one of the lucky winners with Triple Overdrive weapon on it
G - STRIKE SEVEN
Personally I'm more than satisfied with AP gaining weapon that has following
abilities - Overdrive->AP, Triple AP, SOS Overdrive.
In order to quickly get it, do the following: fight One-Eye for Triple AP
weapon with two free slots left. Then go and Bribe Mech Leader for Doors to
Tomorrow (to get Overdrive->AP). And finally Bribe Floating Death for Gambler's
Spirits (to get SOS Overdrive).
If you have other preferred weapon, feel free to choose your own favorite. I
have provided you with as much info as I could so that you can find the
ingredients for abilities with ease.

H - STRIKE EIGHT
Whaaat? Armor ability? Yep. To fully utilize this AP gaining, you'll need to
spend as much turns attacking Don Tonberry as you can. Therefore you need AutoPhoenix. To get one you need 20x Mega Phoenix. Let's see...
- unlock Pteryx for 99x Mega Phoenix
- Bribe Ghost for Mega Phoenixes
- Greater Sphere may drop an armor with Auto-Phoenix
I - STRIKE NINE
Buy 99x Phoenix Down. Trust me, you'll need them.
H - FINAL STRIKE
Now the magic itself. Did you unlock Don Tonberry yet? If not, go to Cavern of
S. F. and capture one of every fiend in there. This is fixed. Comrade Overdrive
mode you must've obtained already, so no worries here (remember to switch to it
before battle!). And you also have AP gaining weaponry. Now put three chrs you
selected before (I told you what test to undertake... ahh, to heck with it - it
doesn't matter which three you choose), and equip them with their AP gaining
weapons and Auto-Phoenix armors. Pay the cash to fight the Don and let the AP
hunt begin.
Don will stand there, smoking his pipe. 'So, you've finally come for my AP? I
ain't giving them away so easily. Not without a proper fight!!!' Any chr that
gets a turn, attack the Don. Don counters with Karma. Whatever damage you just
received, was converted in AP for other two chrs. Sweet, eh? Now Auto-Phoenix
will kick in, reviving fallen chr, leaving it at critical HP (make place for
SOS Overdrive). Repeat the process until Don gets close enough (requires four
turns), at which point he'll switch to stabbing one chr (make sure you
occassionally check how many Phoenix Downs you have left). He can't... no,
shouldn't be faster than you. His Agi is 37, and I'm sure you have at least
twice of that Agi, if not even thrice. Keep letting him kill you, until you
almost run out of Phoenix Downs. Now it's a good time to escape using Flee
command. If noone knows it or Tidus isn't part of the party, switch him in and
have him execute Flee.
Once the next screen pops up, your jaw will drop at the insane amounts of AP
you have just received. SLVL number will also rise up to 99 for sure.
J - WHAT NOW?
Use SLVL to move quickly across the grid, of course.
Reader Hugh has sent me an interesting e-mail:
... While the credits were rolling, I started reading all the side-quests and
various things-to-do. The AP trick really caught my eye... because I traversed
the sphere and maxed out my characters without having to get very high in SLV.
Right before fighting the final boss I ran around getting my butt kicked, but
winning, against the really hard random fiends collecting 99 teleport spheres
at a time. The stuff you can win from those guys makes the game very simple.
Then I teleported back to the ship to enjoy my god-like status. Being able to
jump around the sphere one at a time means you can level up guys you are not
even fighting with. I got so hooked on this process, by the time I finally
fought the last battles, it was very anti-climatic... everyone deals 9999 in
damage and all agility is over 100... Just thought you might want to know
about this process, a lot easier than even collecting the things needed for the
AP trick...
Final note: This AP gaining will serve its purpose best when combined with stat
maxing guide, also found in this guide.
------------------------------XV - OMEGA RUINS TREASURES HUNT ---> A847

---------------------------XV - SEAGULLS COUNTING GAME
---------------------------There's a person on uppermost deck of S.S.Winno. The soonest you can do this is
after Djose temple trials, I believe. Talk to him and he'll ask you to count
the seagulls around the ship. Since you're reading this, you already know the
answer. It's 11 seagulls. You'll receive Ace Wizard for Wakka (Mag+3%, Mag+5%,
Mag+10%, Mag+20%).
--------------------------XVI - CLASKO'S WAY OF LIFE
--------------------------In one of many encounters with Clasko talk to him just before fighting Crawler
at Macalania lake. At his question of what does the future hold, answer that
he's better suited as chocobo breeder. Later in the game when you have access
to the airship, return to S.S. Liki and he'll give you 1x Friend Sphere as sign
of gratitude.

=============================================================================
34.) ABOUT MONSTER ARENA ---> A368
=============================================================================
=============================================================================
Largest and most rewarding sidequest in the world of FFX. Available once you
gain access to Calm Lands, but advised to continue completing it later in the
game when you have control of the airship.
Q1 - Where is the Monster Arena?
A1 - Monster Arena is located in Calm Lands, more specifically in eastern part.
Q2 - Okay, I've found it, now what?
A2 - Talk to the old geezer. Apparently all of his monsters have escaped. And
it's *your* job to recapture them all.
Q3 - Capture them? How do I do that?
A3 - Talk to old geezer again. He sells just the weapons you need - with
Capture ability.
Q4 - Come again?
A4 - Further explanation necessary, I see. Okay. Let's make an actual example.

Buy Capture weapons for all seven characters. Now fly with airship over to
Besaid island. Equip Auron with Beastmaster (this is how his weapon is called)
and leave the other two front-line members with whatever they have for a
weapon. Fall into a battle with let's say Dingo and Condor.
Have Auron slice down Dingo. See? 'Dingo captured!' This means you successfully
captured a Dingo and he now counts toward Monster arena's total.
You *must kill* an enemy with a weapon with Capture ability on it. You can use
Skills, but you cannot use Overdrives.
Q5 - I've been capturing Dingos for a while and now I get this message 'Dingo
limit reached!'. What's up with that?
A5 - This means that you've reached that monster's limit. More specifically,
you can capture 10 of each capturable monster. Any additional monster will not
be added to the total number.
Q6 - 'Capturable' monster? Aren't they all?
A6 - No. Machine enemies, human enemies and some one-time-meet-me-only enemies
cannot be captured. List of all capturable monsters will appear below. And now
I've also provided pictures help that will show you what to find where.
Q7 - So far I see nothing of interest for doing this quest... what's in it for
me?
A7 - Let me nail you a few reasons why you should bother...
Reason 1: You get a bunch of hard-to-obtain-otherwise items.
Reason 2: Regular monsters are not exactly challenging, are they? Well, by
capturing them you may unlock special monster arena creations, which are yours
to battle for a small fee.
Reason 3: These bosses when fought and defeated yield a bunch of powerful
weapons with great abilities already on them, thus saving you a waste of your
hard earned items.
Reason 4: Hardest boss in the game can be found here (if I don't count Dark
Aeons).
Reason 5: C'mon, I know you want that Mark of Conquest...
Q8 - I'm having trouble encountering *insert monster*. Where can I find it?
A8 - For some of more elusive chaps I'll provide few tips. If that still
doesn't help, save your game, then reset your PS2. Reload your last save - with
this you've just jumbled monster encounter rate... hopefully now you'll fight
particular monster more often.:)
Q9 - OK, you've convinced me! Lemme at them.
A9 - Sure, go right ahead. Capturing the regulars ain't hard, what will be hard
will be monsters created once you capture enough stuff.:)
Questions have been answered, we now return to program.
******************************
EVERYTHING ABOUT MONSTER ARENA
******************************
# BASIC BASICS ON MONSTER ARENA
Once you talk to old geezer, he will present you with five choices:
- Chat
This is useless. At most times he'll tell you about what kind of monsters he
still needs to complete a monster cre(a)ti(o)n of his own.
- Fight monsters
This is the option you'll use the most. Screen that will follow is explained

below.
- Buy weapons
You'll only want to use this once... in order to buy Capture weapons for your
characters.
- Buy items
Another most used option. You'll return here often to buy Clear Spheres, which
will be available once you unlock Ultima Buster.
- Exit
What the name says.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------# FIGHT-ME-PLEASE-OH-PRETTY-PLEASE SCREEN
Yap, this screen is where you will spend most of the time, pondering on which
enemy to spend your hard earned gil. The screen is divided into 16 entries, 13
of which are representing world areas, and 3 of which are reserved for special
monsters awaiting your ass-kicking.
From top left to bottom right areas go as follows:
A01 - Besaid
A02 - Kilika
A03 - Mi'ihen Highroad
A04 - Mushroom Rock Road
A05 - Djose Road
A06 - Thunder Plains
A07 - Macalania
A08 - Bikanel
A09 - Calm Lands
A10 - Sunken Cave (or Cavern of the S. F.)
A11 - Mt. Gagazet
A12 - I. Sin
A13 - O. Dungeon
A14 - Area Conquest
A15 - Species Conquest
A16 - Original
Note: Picture available at following URL:
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/monster_areas.jpg
Entries from A01 to A13 fill up as you capture fiends in particular area. Entry
A14 will fill up with monsters to fight once you've captured at least one of
each monster in specific area (example: Chimerageist will be unlocked once you
capture at least one of every monster in Calm Lands). Entry A15 will fill up
once you've captured a minimum amount of each fiend type (example: Pteryx will
be unlocked once you've captured few Condors, Simurghs and Alcyones). Entry A16
will fill up once you meet few special requirements. Do not worry, everything
will be explained in detail.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------# HOW DO I START?
Press Start button... no wait, that pauses the game. Oh right. Anyway, when you
first visit Monster Arena, manager (that's old geezer, by the way) will want
you to first purify Calm Lands by capturing at least one of each monster found
in Calm Lands... once you do that, Chimerageist will be unlocked in Area

Conquest entry. Now fight it or not, it doesn't matter. What matters is that
the hunting season is now open.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------# GOT THEM ALL! NOW WHAT?
What is left is the big goal. Trash all of the monsters that manager created,
receive Mark of Conquest, up your statistics, receive best armors (that is,
make them) and then just have fun in the process.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------# AREN'T YOU FORGETTING SOMETHING?
What? OH YEAH! Of course if feels right to provide you with few general advices
on engaging these guys.
--> Get celestial weapons for the guys you'll be using. Easiest celestial
weapons to be collected and fully powered up are Rikku's, Auron's and Yuna's.
Also Tidus' isn't hard, but you have two problems - if you forgot to pick up
Sun Crest, you have to trample Dark Bahamut, and for Sigil you have to win a
small Chocobo race.
--> Lots of preparations, some of which include:
# An armor consisting of Auto-Potion, Auto-Haste, Auto-Protect, Auto-Phoenix.
Instead of Auto-Potion you can have whatever you wish, but last three are
crucial. Don't leave your home without them.
# Another armor consisting of Deathproof, Confuseproof, Sleepproof and AutoMed. This will help you out stand longer against guys who use status attacks.
# And another armor with Berserkproof, Confuseproof, Sleepproof and Stoneproof.
This is armor created specifically for two guys you'll be fighting.
# A weapon consisting of Break Damage Limit, Triple Overdrive, Counter-attack,

Magic Counter. Even better choice is Celestial weapon.


# Your HP should be at 9999.
# Learn just about every ability there is on Sphere Grid, most needed are Quick
Hit, Auto-Life, Holy, Flare, Ultima.
# Tidus should have Blitz Ace and Wakka his Attack Reels. I didn't bother with
Wakka's Attack Reels, tho'... too much bad blitz memories...
--> Area creations aren't so fun to deal with, cos they don't drop useful
items. Species creations, however are entirely different story.
--> I could suggest a line-up in order to fight these guys, but that's a hard
option. What'll I do instead is provide as much feedback as possible on monster
bosses so that you may choose for yourself which of them sounds easy enough for
you to try your best on.
--> For strategies for these guys I'll make a few changes
earned, scan and sensor infos got lost cos you can't view
earn them. In strategy part you'll find recommended armor
recommended weapon to be used. Then the strategy for boss

for their info: Gil


them or you can't
to be used and
itself follows.

***********************
Part A - Area Creations
***********************
---> STRATOAVIS <--- ---> A571
1. Name: Stratoavis
2. Monster's HP: 320000/10000
3. Monster's MP: 115
4. AP gained when monster is defeated: 8000/8000
5. Items stolen: 3x Smoke Bomb/2x Stamina Spring
6. Items dropped: 2x/4x Amulet; 1x/2x Dark Matter
7. Monster's status info:
- Immune: Berserk, Confusion, Darkness, Death, Delay skills, Demi, Eject,
Petrify, Poison, Provoke, Silence, Sleep, Slow, Threaten, Zombie
- susceptible: 90% Armor Break, 90% Magic Break, 90% Mental Break, 90% Power
Break, 90% Slow
- 200 turns for Doom
8. Monster's stats info:
St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac
73, 41, 32, 82, 32, 15, 5, 100
9. Monster's el. info: NS
10. Monster's equip. dropped info: 2-4 slots, 1-3 abilities already present,
99% probability of equipment piece being dropped
11. Weapon abilities: Str+5%, Str+10%, Str+20%
12. Armor abilities: HP+10%, HP+20%, HP+30%
13. Monster's attacks:
a) 'Beak bash' - VS one chr - phd
b) Charging - signifies charge turn for Paean of the Heavens
c) Paean of the Heavens - GRATTP VS all chrs - tears off 93,5% MAX HP - phd +
Darkness and delays next turn of all chrs - used every fourth turn
d) 'Land' - once you knock off 66% of its HP, Stratoavis will have to land Charging and Paean of the Heavens are no longer used
14. Monster strategy:
RAA: Auto-Protect, Darkproof, Auto-Haste

RWA: Slowstrike, Break Damage Limit, Evade & Counter


First a representation of how boss moves:
[While in air]
-> 'Beak bash'
-> 'Beak bash'
-> Charging
-> Paean of the Heavens
-> repeat...
-> 'Land' - after the attack that crossed 66% HP limit
[While on foot]
-> 'Beak bash' ad infinitum
This is first one of few guys in the arena that has set pattern of attacks,
thus making him ultra easy. Let's talk about strategy, then.
On first and second turn Stratoavis will use 'Beak bash'. If Eva is high, he'll
miss. Otherwise Protect will help you. He'll forfeit his third turn to charge
for Paean. *Defend* before his fourth turn! Defending and Protect will lessen
the damage by 3/4. You now need to cure Darkness (or not, if you equipped
Darkproof). Then the guy repeats his daily routine... booooring. Meanwhile
shell him into oblivion. He's vulnerable to all four Breaks and can also be
slowed down.
15. Special note: For unlocking Stratoavis you'll get 99x Stamina Tonic.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------> MALBORO MENACE <--- ---> A335
1. Name: Malboro Menace
2. Monster's HP: 640000/12000
3. Monster's MP: 200
4. AP gained when monster is defeated: 8000/8000

- Immune: Armor Break, Berserk, Confusion, Darkness, Death, Delay skills, Demi,
Eject, Magic Break, Mental Break, Petrify, Poison, Power Break, Provoke,
Silence, Sleep, Slow, Threaten, Zombie
- Susceptible: Nothing
- 200 turns for Doom
8. Monster's stats info:
St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac
60, 24, 53, 63, 34, 15, 0, 120
9. Monster's el. info: Weak to fire, absorbs water
10. Monster's equip. dropped info: 3-4 slots, 1-4 abilities already present,
99% probability of equipment piece being dropped
11. Weapon abilities: Darkstrike, Poisonstrike, Silencestrike, Sleepstrike,
Slowstrike, Stonestrike, Zombiestrike
12. Armor abilities: Darkproof, Poisonproof, Silenceproof, Sleepproof,
Slowproof, Stoneproof, Zombieproof
13. Monster's attacks:
a) Putrid Breath - NATT VS all chrs - mgd + Poison, Confusion, Darkness,
Silence, Berserk and Slow (Darkness and Silence are lifted after eight chr's
turns)
b) Chow Time - VS one chr - phd
c) Mega Gastric Juice - STATT VS one chr - std + Full Break
d) Gastric Juice Blast - VS all chrs - phd + Petrify
14. Monster strategy:
RAA: Auto-Protect, Ribbon (if unavailable, put on at least Stoneproof and
Confuseproof), Auto-Haste

RWA: First Strike, Break Damage Limit, Evade & Counter, Firestrike
Another Malboro enemy. This guy will always ambush you on first turn and will
use Putrid Breath. If you don't have Confuseproof, bye-bye. See you next time.
Well, you're not out of the weeds yet. On his next turns you may get to see
Mega Gastric Juice (which strangely can be avoided with high Eva, but I can't
seem to reduce the damage done in any way, so that means damage done is fixed),
Chow Time (big phd to one chr) and Gastric Juice Blast, which can petrify all
chrs. Get that Stoneproof armor now!
So survive first turn with Confuseproof. Cast Hastega. Then keep attacking
(Overdrives!) Malboro until he bites the dust. After further testdrives I
discovered that Malboro Menace will use Putrid Breath after he's been target of
seven attacks - in other words, once you attack Malboro for seventh time,
you'll receive Putrid Breath on next turn. Gastric Juice Blast seems to be used
often after you knock off half of Malboro's health.
15. Special note: For unlocking Malboro Menace you'll get 99x Poison Fang.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------> KOTTOS <--- ---> A290
1. Name: Kottos
2. Monster's HP: 440000/15000
3. Monster's MP: 20
4. AP gained when monster is defeated: 8000/8000
5. Items stolen: 4x Stamina Spring/2x Soul Spring
6. Items dropped: 20x/40x Healing Spring; 1x/2x Dark Matter
7. Monster's status info:
- Immune: Armor Break, Berserk, Confusion, Darkness, Death, Delay skills, Demi,

9. Monster's el. info: NS
10. Monster's equip. dropped info: 2-3 slots, 1-3 abilities already present,
99% probability of equipment piece being dropped
11. Weapon abilities: Counter, Evade & Counter, Magic Counter
12. Armor abilities: HP+10%, HP+20%, HP+30%
13. Monster's attacks:
a) 'Double punch' - VS one chr - phd
b) 'Punch' - CATT VS one chr - phd
14. Monster strategy:
RAA: Auto-Protect, Auto-Haste, Auto-Phoenix
RWA: Break Damage Limit, Counter-attack, First Strike
First a representation of how boss moves:
-> 'Double punch'
-> 'Double punch' ad infinitum
-> 'Punch' - used as a counter
This guy is hardly a challenge at all. His only real power lies in huge
strength. When it's not his turn, he'll just stand there with his dukes put up
and waving 'Come get some!'. Anything you do to him will prompt Kottos to
counterattack with 'punch'. On his regular turns he'll attack with 'double
punch'. Any of these two attacks may knock a character out if your Def stat is
low. And that's all there is to it.
As battle starts, cast Hastega, then Protect on all. After that, pummel away at
Kottos until he's creamed. If someone gets KO-ed, revive, Haste, Protect. Box

match finished!
15. Special note: For unlocking Kottos you'll get 99x Soul Spring.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------> COEURLREGINA <--- ---> A101
1. Name: Coeurlregina
2. Monster's HP: 380000/10000
3. Monster's MP: 80
4. AP gained when monster is defeated: 8000/8000
5. Items stolen: 2x Farplane Wind/1x Blessed Gem
6. Items dropped: 3x/6x Shining Gem; 1x/2x Dark Matter
7. Monster's status info:
- Immune: Armor Break, Berserk, Confusion, Darkness, Death, Delay skills, Demi,
Eject, Magic Break, Mental Break, Petrify, Poison, Power Break, Provoke,
Silence, Sleep, Slow, Threaten, Zombie
- Susceptible: Nothing
- 200 turns for Doom
8. Monster's stats info:
St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac
1, 40, 70, 40, 75, 15, 0, 100
9. Monster's el. info: NS
10. Monster's equip. dropped info: 2-3 slots, 1-3 abilities already present,
99% probability of equipment piece being dropped
11. Weapon abilities: Deathstrike, Double AP
12. Armor abilities: Darkproof, Deathproof, Poisonproof, Silenceproof,
Sleepproof, Slowproof, Stoneproof, Zombieproof
13. Monster's attacks:
a) Chaos - VS one chr - inflicts Confusion, Curse and Doom
b) Hyper Blaster - VS one chr - inflicts KO - Deathproof doesn't help
c) Drain - VS one chr - amount of HP deducted from attacked chr is added to
Coeurlregina's HP
d) Thundaga - LATT VS one chr - lightning mgd
14. Monster strategy:
RAA: Curseproof, Confuseproof and/or Ribbon (Ribbon nullifies Doom), AutoPhoenix
RWA: Break Damage Limit, First Strike
Mostly used attack is Chaos. If you don't have any Ribbons, chr afflicted is
gone on fifth turn. And if you also don't have Confuseproof, oops. Character/s
that could do the reviving may get knocked out as well by the confused chr.
Auto-Phoenix is nearly a must in this battle. Regina's Hyper Blaster is
guaranteed KO. Revive immediately. When she decides to use Drain or Thundaga (I
was finally able to see it, yay me [sarcastic smile]), praise be to Yevon. As
for Menace, I haven't yet figured out her move pattern, if there even is one.
After much fighting I stand to believe that there is no set pattern for her
moves. Summoning aeons is *not* recommended, as even they get KO-ed by Hyper
Blaster when Regina decides to use it.
Battle starts, Hastega! Then hack away. On doomed chrs cast Auto-Life, and
revive fallen ones ASAP. You win.
15. Special note: For unlocking Coeurlregina you'll get 99x Candle of Life.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------> JORMUNGAND <--- ---> A280
1. Name: Jormungand

6. Items dropped: 2/4x Supreme Gem; 1x/2x Dark Matter
7. Monster's status info:
- Immune: Berserk, Confusion, Darkness, Death, Delay skills, Demi, Eject,
Petrify, Poison, Provoke, Silence, Sleep, Threaten, Zombie
- Susceptible: 90% Armor Break, 90% Magic Break, 90% Mental Break, 90% Power
Break, no % resistance to Slow
- 200 turns for Doom
8. Monster's stats info:
St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac
77, 33, 80, 186,53, 15, 6, 130

Slowstrike, Stonestrike, Zombiestrike
12. Armor abilities: Darkproof, Poisonproof, Silenceproof, Sleepproof,
Slowproof, Stoneproof, Zombieproof
13. Monster's attacks:
a) Cold Stare - STATT VS one chr - std + Petrify - ignores Shell and Protect
b) Space-Time Vorpal - NATT VS all chrs - mgd
c) 'Bash' - VS one chr - phd
14. Monster strategy:
RAA: Auto-Protect, Auto-Haste, Stoneproof, Auto-Shell
RWA: Break Damage Limit, Counter-attack, First Strike, Slowstrike
Cold Stare is most dangerous. Use Esuna or Soft on chr affected immediately.
'Bash' can be avoided with high Eva, and Space-Time Vorpal halved with Shell.
As battle starts, Hastega, then Shell, then Protect. Start hacking or
Overdriving. Take care of Cold Stare. If you let Jormungand attack petrified
chr, he/she'll be gone for rest of battle. Slow Jorm down a bit as well, then
finally kill him.
He doesn't have set movement pattern.
15. Special note: For unlocking Jormungand you'll get 99x Petrify Grenade.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------> CACTUAR KING <--- ---> A081

9. Monster's el. info: Immune to fire, lightning, water, ice and holy
10. Monster's equip. dropped info: 2-4 slots, 1-3 abilities already present,

99% probability of equipment piece being dropped


11. Weapon abilities: Str+5%, Str+10%, Str+20%

13. Monster's attacks:
a) 10000 Needles - (CATT) & STATT VS one chr - std - damage cannot be halved in
any way
b) 99999 Needles - STATT VS one chr - std - damage cannot be halved in any way
c) Run away - just like the name implies
14. Monster strategy:
RAA: Auto-Haste, Auto-Phoenix
RWA: Break Damage Limit
Senior knight of Force trio. Ugh, this is a definition of Evasion. Unless you
bear monster Acc and a bit of Luck, forget about killing this guy. Return
later... or not? Kingie counters everything with 10000 Needles. On regular
turns he may use 10000 Needles, or 99999 Needles, or Run Away. He's also immune
to all elemental skills you may decide to chuck at it and can't be bad-statused
whatsoever. Summoning an aeon gets a no-no again. Even with Shield command in
effect you cannot reduce damage received from Needle attacks.
As battle starts, rely on Tidus' Blitz Ace to try killing King. Don't forget
that for this battle it is better to have Auto-Haste in your armors, cos when
chr is revived, he'll automatically be in Haste. If one Blitz Ace isn't enough,
Entrust Tidus with Overdrive gauges from other peeps, then attack again and
this time he should go down.
He doesn't have set movement pattern.
15. Special note: For unlocking Cactuar King you'll get 99x Chocobo Wing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------> ESPADA <--- ---> A182
1. Name: Espada
2. Monster's HP: 280000/15000
3. Monster's MP: 120
4. AP gained when monster is defeated: 8000/8000
5. Items stolen: 4x Farplane Shadow/1x Farplane Wind
6. Items dropped: 1x/2x Rename Card; 1x/2x Dark Matter
7. Monster's status info:
- Immune: Berserk, Confusion, Darkness, Death, Delay skills, Demi, Doom, Eject,
Petrify, Poison, Provoke, Silence, Sleep, Threaten, Zombie
- Susceptible: 90% Armor Break, 90% Magic Break, 90% Mental Break, 90% Power
Break, 50% Slow
- Immune to Doom
8. Monster's stats info:
St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac
44, 100,31, 160,51, 15, 12, 100
9. Monster's el. info: NS
10. Monster's equip. dropped info: 2-4 slots, 1-3 abilities already present,
99% probability of equipment piece being dropped
11. Weapon abilities: Str+5%, Str+10%, Str+20%
12. Armor abilities: Def+5%, Def+10%, Def+20%
13. Monster's attacks:
a) Hades Claws - (CATT) VS one chr - phd + Poison and KO - restores big chunk
of Espada's HP as well
b) Blade Shower - VS one chr - phd - is used after four Hades Claws (including
ones launched as counterattacks)
14. Monster strategy:
RAA: Auto-Protect, Auto-Haste, Auto-Phoenix

RWA: Break Damage Limit, Counter-attack, First Strike, Slowstrike


First a representation of how Espada moves:
-> Hades Claws - either normal attack or counter
-> Hades Claws - either normal attack or counter
-> Hades Claws - either normal attack or counter
-> Hades Claws - either normal attack or counter
-> Blade Shower - can only be used on regular turn
-> Hades Claws... - pattern repeats
This is second predictive guy you can fight. Count number of times he uses
Hades Claws. After you counted four, on first regular turn Espada gets, he'll
use Blade Shower. Even if there are more Hades Claws used (because of
counterattacks), number resets to 0 after Blade Shower is used.
Example 1: You don't attack Espada at all, instead he gets four turns in which
he uses Hades Claws, then Blade Shower on fifth.
Example 2: Don't attack Espada until he does three Hades Claws to your party.
Then attack him three times. He'll counter with Hades Claws for each attack,
thus adding the total to six Hades Claws. On first turn Espada gets he will use
Blade Shower. The number of Hades Claws now resets to zero - Espada does not
need two more Hades Claws, but four.
I don't recommend fighting this guy unless you have very high Agi and Eva.
Reason is this: connected Hades Claws restore insane amount of HP to Espada,
thus nullifying your efforts to cripple his HP. Plus he has a constant Regen
effect. When Agi and Eva are high, then engage in battle and laugh as he won't
be able to hit you. What, you want to regen? Yeah right, I'll kill you first.
15. Special note: For unlocking Espada you'll get 60x Shining Gem.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------> ABYSS WORM <--- ---> A004
1. Name: Abyss Worm
2. Monster's HP: 480000/12000
3. Monster's MP: 200
4. AP gained when monster is defeated: 8000/8000
5. Items stolen: 4x Shadow Gem/1x Stamina Tablet
6. Items dropped: 1x/2x Stamina Tonic; 1x/2x Dark Matter
7. Monster's status info:

Eject, Magic Break, Mental Break, Petrify, Poison, Power Break, Provoke,

- 200 turns for Doom
8. Monster's stats info:
St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac
60, 24, 93, 63, 22, 15, 0, 120
9. Monster's el. info: NS
10. Monster's equip. dropped info: 2-4 slots, 1-3 abilities already present,
99% probability of equipment piece being dropped
11. Weapon abilities: Str+5%, Str+10%, Str+20%
12. Armor abilities: Def+5%, Def+10%, Def+20%
13. Monster's attacks:
a) 'Headbutt' - VS one chr - phd
b) Swallow - after Abyss Worm has been target of an attack for fifth time,
it'll Swallow whoever landed the fifth strike - eaten character is gone from
battle until following happens
c) Regurtitate - after Abyss Worm (with chr inside!) has been target of two
further attacks, chr eaten is returned to battle - damage dealt is always 9999
- Protect halves the damage
d) Readying Quake - signifies charge turn for Earthquake

e) Earthquake - NATT VS all chrs - mgd - requires one turn to charge


14. Monster strategy:
RAA: Auto-Protect, Auto-Haste, Auto-Phoenix
RWA: Break Damage Limit, Counter-attack, First Strike
I think this guy has a set pattern of movement too, but I need to figure it out
first. What I was able to confirm is the following:
After you attack Abyss Worm for five times, he'll Swallow that attacker. Now
Abyss will automatically forfeit all turns he gets until you attack it for two
more times. Abyss will now counter with Regurtitate, which will kill the chr
Swallowed by dealing 9999 damage to him/her (halve it with Protect).
On regular turns expect to see 'Headbutt'. After few more turns Worm will be
Readying Quake. Earthquake that follows can be halved with Shell.
As battle starts, Hastega. Then start hacking or Overdriving until you hit it
four times. Wait until Worm starts Readying Quake. Then unload on him as
attacks landed in this part of battle don't count toward Swallow.:) Abyss Worm
is defeated.
Additionally I've found out following: By not attacking Abyss Worm at all,
he'll use two 'headbutts', then Readying Quake on third and Earthquake on
fourth turn, after which he'll repeat the exercise. Furthermore, if you let him
Swallow one chr, there's a way of preventing Worm launching new attacks. With
your other two remaining characters cast Reflect on one of them, then
continously Doublecast Flare with your reflected chr being target of the
attack. Flares will bounce off onto Worm, damage him and most importantly, this
*doesn't* trigger Regurtitate.
AngelWing sent in this strat: Characters I use when fighting it all have
Counter Attack or Evade&Counter ability in their weapons. When the battle
starts, I cast Protect (or no need if you have Auto-Protect) to the party and
slow them - I mean it..... I cast Slowga to my party. Cast Haste to the Abyss
Worm and defend. When it's Abyss Worm's turn, it'll attack (headbutt) one of
your characters and your character will counter it without being countered.
When it is readying for Quake, attack it and the last character before Abyss
Worm's turn should be switched to Yuna. Tell Yuna to Summon or Grand Summon
Valefor then tell Valefor to attack or use Overdrive - but please be careful
since using Overdrive can let Abyss Worm kill Valefor due to the movement
delay. After Earthquake, dismiss Valefor and defend all your characters remember to switch Yuna back to your previous character. This might be a slow
and boring way to kill it but it is a safe way especially for someone with low
attributes.
PS: If your characters' Defend is low, the alternate way is to have *one*
character that has preety high defence (in my case, I use Auron) to use
Sentinel while the other two use Cheer and/or Luck.
15. Special note: For unlocking Abyss Worm you'll get 99x Shadow Gem.

e) Aqua Breath - WATT VS all chrs - water mgd
14. Monster strategy:

RWA: Break Damage Limit, Counter-attack, First Strike, Magic Counter
First a representation of how Chimerageist moves:
-> Megiddo Flame
-> Blizzara OR Thundara
-> 'Assault'
-> Aqua Breath
First attack Geist will use is completely random and cannot be predicted.
However, once you see what Geist has used, you're set for the remainder of
battle. Megiddo Flame can be nullified by Fireproof or better, Blizzara and
Thundara can be reflected, 'assault' can be halved by Protect, and Aqua Breath
nullified by Waterproof or better. Hah hah.

12. Armor abilities: Darkproof, Deathproof, Poisonproof, Silenceproof,

13. Monster's attacks:

a) Karma - CATT & STATT VS one chr - std - damage dealt is amount of enemies
killed (by that particular character) x 100 - can not be used after Don takes
four 'Walk forward' - if chr killed no enemies, damage dealt is zero
b) 'Walk forward' - will do so for 4 turns
c) 'Chef's knife' - VS one chr - phd
d) Voodoo - STATT VS aeon - if aeon is Don's opponent, Voodoo is used - std
14. Monster strategy:
RAA: Auto-Haste, Auto-Phoenix
RWA: Break Damage Limit
First a representation of how Don Tonberry moves:
-> 1st 'Walk forward'
-> 2nd 'Walk forward'
-> 3rd 'Walk forward'
-> before 4th 'Walk forward' any attack against Don will prompt him to counter
with Karma
-> 4th 'Walk forward'
-> 'Chef's Knife'... will always use 'Chef's Knife' from now on
-> Voodoo will be used at any time in battle if an aeon is in Don's way
Not hard, but boring. Anything you will do to Don will upset him. So he'll
counter by counting your Karma and naturally killing character targeted. Either
you kill him with aeons (he doesn't counter their attacks) or wait until he
comes closer four times, then unload on him.
15. Special note: For unlocking Don Tonberry you'll get 40x Silver Hourglass.

b) Flare - NATT VS one chr - mgd
c) 'Swipe' - VS one chr - phd
d) Ultima - NATT VS all chrs - mgd - used as a dying move
14. Monster strategy:
RAA: Auto-Haste, Auto-Protect, Auto-Shell, Auto-Phoenix

RWA: Break Damage Limit


Pop Fly and 'Swipe' can be halved by Protect, Flare and Ultima by Shell.
As battle starts, Hastega. Then Break whatever you wish on his backbone. Be
careful of Pop Fly - along with phd it delays chr's next turn. Auto-Phoenix
will take care of reviving your party members that will get taken out cos of
Catoblepas' strong attacks. Take heed and be under Shell at all costs once you
defeat Cato or his Ultima may take you out altogether.
He doesn't have set movement pattern.
15. Special note: For unlocking Catoblepas you'll get Blossom Crown *KEY ITEM*.

c) Waterga - WATT VS one chr - water d.
d) Firaga - FATT VS one chr - fire d.
e) Pharaoh's Curse - VS one chr - inflicts Curse, Poison, Silence and Darkness
f) Mana Focus - signifies charge turn for Emblem of the Cosmos
g) Emblem of the Cosmos - VS all chrs - phd - requires one turn to charge
h) Flare - NATT VS one chr - mgd
i) Demi - GRATT VS all chrs - mgd - tears off 25% current HP
14. Monster strategy:
RAA: Auto-Reflect, Auto-Haste, Curseproof, Ribbon (or Poisonproof), Auto-Shell
RWA: Break Damage Limit, Magic Counter
I'll get the move settlement for this guy as well. I know there's one. Anyway,
keep up Shell status at all times. It'll be your lifesaver. For that annoying
Pharaoh's Curse heal as soon as you can. You need your party to be in fighting
shape at all times. Once you see Mana Focus, Protect if not already under it.
Emblem of the Cosmos is Abaddon's strongest attack. If you think your chrs
won't make it, summon an aeon.
Once battle starts, Hastega then Shell. Using any elemental attacks against
Abaddon is useless, as he has infinite NulAll and Reflect. If you're reflected,
Doublecast Flare at his royal ass. Use Quick Hits or Overdrives (Banishing
Blade!). Abaddon is defeated.
Yahoo! Found a hole in his pattern - after you deal damage to Abaddon for sixth

time, he'll use Mana Focus on first turn he gets after that. Which means I can
provide new strategic information - if you can get at least six attacks in once
Abaddon releases Emblem, all attacks you'll be seeing will be Mana Focus and
Emblem of the Cosmos.
15. Special note: For unlocking Abaddon you'll get 99x Lunar Curtain.

13. Monster's attacks:
a) Mortar - CATT & NATT VS all chrs - mgd - used when either one, two or three
attacks are launched against Vorban
b) Body Splash - VS all chrs - phd
c) 'Stomp' - VS one chr - phd
14. Monster strategy:
RAA: Auto-Haste, Auto-Shell, Auto-Protect
RWA: Break Damage Limit, Counter-attack
Last bastard in area creations. Body Splash and 'stomp' can be halved with
Protect, Mortar with Shell. Vorban counters with Mortar after he's been target
of one attack, two or three attacks - with more experimentation I found out
that he also counters if you try say Stealing... anyway, he counters anything.
Longest I've been able to try to do something was three times before he
Mortared me.
As battle starts, Hastega, Protect and finally Shell. Attack with Quick Hits
and Overdrives. Take note to heal if you think next Mortar counter may kill a
chr. Banishing Blade (with successful input) will help you a lot in lowering
Vorban's defence. He doesn't have set movement pattern.
15. Special note: For unlocking Vorban you'll get 60x Designer Wallet.

c) Fangs of Ruin - VS one chr - extreme phd
14. Monster strategy:
RAA: Auto-Haste, Auto-Phoenix, Auto-Protect, Ribbon, Confuseproof
RWA: Break Damage Limit, Counter-attack, First Strike
Yippee. Let's start slaughtering Fenrirs. For this guy you'll want to have
Auto-Phoenix in yor armor - one worry is already off your back (Fangs of Hell
inflict KO regardless of protection). The other thing you need to worry about
is Confusion inflicted by Fangs of Chaos - also remember to heal chr that was
attacked quickly. That's not much HP he/she has left.
As battle starts, Hastega, then Protect. Proceed with attacking Fenrir with
Blitz Aces or Attack Reels. Note, that you may need a high Acc in order to be
able to hit Fenrir (not necessary if you'll be using Overdrives). Hell Fangs
can be avoided with high Eva, but other two can't.
He doesn't have set movement pattern.

a) Drain Touch - VS one chr - phd - HP deducted from attacked chr is added to
Ornitholestes' HP

14. Monster strategy:
RAA: Auto-Haste, Auto-Protect, Auto-Phoenix, Poisonproof
RWA: Break Damage Limit, Counter-attack, First Strike
Luckily for you, this guy can't petrify you like his other species buddies. He
has two attacks, both of which are annoying. Drain Touch will steal your HP and
add them to Orni's, while Poison Touch removes 75% of current HP and adds
Poison. If you forget or don't heal Poisoned chr, he/she may die of an action
he/she took. High Acc is also recommended, as Orni's Eva is quite high.
He doesn't have set movement pattern.

13. Monster's attacks:
a) Beak of Woe - VS one chr *or* VS all chrs - phd + Curse - ignores Protect
b) Beak - VS one chr - phd + delays next turn
14. Monster strategy:
RAA: Auto-Haste, Auto-Protect, Auto-Phoenix, Curseproof
RWA: Break Damage Limit, Counter-attack, First Strike
A low HP creation... but a nasty one at that. Most often he'll ambush you, in
which case it'll use Beak of Woe on all chrs (phd + Curse). Don't bother
healing Curse, as you'll just be re-Cursed. To compensate for lack of HP, he

has two alternatives - constant Regen and high Eva. If you can't seem to pull
off enough damage, call Anima or Magus Sisters. One or two Pains, Passado,
Razzia...
After more counting of Pteryx's feathers I've found out more: First turn it'll
always be Beak of Woe vs all chrs. If you un-Curse one chr, on next turn Pteryx
gets he will use Beak of Woe against that chr to Curse him/her again. With all
chrs Cursed Pteryx otherwise uses Beak for moderate phd - beware, Beak will
also delay chr's next turn.

and Darkness last for three chr's turns)
d) Curaga - on itself - restores big amount of HP
14. Monster strategy:
RAA: Auto-Haste, Auto-Protect, Auto-Phoenix, Confuseproof, Deathproof, Ribbon,
Poisonproof
RWA: Break Damage Limit, Counter-attack, First Strike
A flying Fenrir? Seriously, tho', Hornet packs similar attacks. Bewitching Stab
can be made useless with Confuseproof, and Venomous Stab with Poisonproof.
Regular Hornet's attack can be made harmless with Deathproof.
As battle starts, Hastega, then Protect. Heal status disorder soon and revive
fallen allies. High Acc (use Aim few times) may be needed to be able to hit
Hornet. He doesn't have set movement pattern.

b) Ultima - NATT VS all chrs - mgd
14. Monster strategy:
RAA: Auto-Haste, Auto-Shell, Auto-Phoenix
RWA: Break Damage Limit, Magic Counter, First Strike
Everything he chucked at me were Osmose and Ultima. Nothing else dangerous.
Auto-Shell will make Ultima's damage laughable. So will you once you smite down
his ugly ass. To pose at least an intermediate challenge, he has been granted
infinite NulAll and Regen statuses.
He doesn't have set movement pattern.

14. Monster strategy:
RAA: Auto-Haste, Auto-Protect, Auto-Phoenix, Curseproof, Confuseproof, Ribbon
RWA: Break Damage Limit, Counter-attack, First Strike
Like Pteryx, he likes to get a jump on you, in which case Shockwave is
unavoidable. You'll get Confused, Sleeped, Silenced, Darknessed and Slowed.
Cure any way you can, then smack down its ugly face. Black Stare is nothing to
be feared of - it's simple damage and Curse to one.
About 30 One-Eyes later I can report on following: He alternates between
Shockwave and Black Stare, no more than two Shockwaves in a row, and no more
than five Black Stares in a row.

h) Reflect - on one chr - adds Reflect
i) Curaga - on one chr (only if that chr is under Reflect) - restores big
amount of HP
14. Monster strategy:
RAA: Auto-Haste, Auto-Shell, Auto-Phoenix
RWA: Break Damage Limit, First Strike
Long, boring and tiresome. Jumbo Flan is immune to any weapon-based attack,
absorbs all elements sans holy, is under constant Reflect and packs a big HP.
For starters cast Hastega, then Reflect on one of your chrs. Now Doublecast
Flare, but make sure you target chr you just reflected. That way Flares will
hit Jumbo Flan. Oh yeah, Jumbo can be Slowed as well - maybe this isn't going
to take long, after all.:) Now repeatedly Copycat these two Flares you just

casted and sooner or later Jumbo will subdue to missing HP. Sometimes if low on
HP, Jumbo will attempt the following: he'll cast Reflect on one of your chrs,
then *immediately* Curaga. On next turn/s he'll do Reflect/Curaga combo again
(in case you dispeled Reflect), Regen (in case you don't dispel Reflect) or
Ultima. Speaking of which, I believe that lower Jumbo is to defeat, more of
Ultima you'll be seeing.
Anima's Pain is the answer to your needs. It bypasses Reflect and is a magical
attack. Spare Change deals damage to Jumbo as well. And physical Overdrives
inflict damage as well, but don't bother as Jumbo's Def is high. Do not forget
Ifrit's Meteor Strike!
Otherwise he doesn't have set movement pattern.
15. Special note: For unlocking Jumbo Flan you'll get 60x Twin Stars.

Nega counters any physical attack with Ultima. He doesn't counter magic
attacks, which is what you should use against him. Reflect on yourself, then
Doublecast Flare and Copycat it. Otherwise Nega is pretty boring creation with
usual assortment of elemental spells and Flare. Yawn.
He doesn't have set movement pattern.

attack also 'speeds up' Tanket's next turn
14. Monster strategy:
RAA: Auto-Haste, Auto-Protect, Auto-Phoenix, Berserkproof
RWA: Break Damage Limit, Counter-attack, First Strike
Danger! Although he appears slow, he has two nasty tricks. Both of his attacks
Berserk the chr attacked and delay that chr's next turn, however, Rush Attack
seems to have an added bonus of 'speeding up' Tanket's next turn. It may even
happen that you won't get anymore attacks in cos Tanket will repeatedly Rush
Attack you to death.
As battle starts, Hastega, then Protect. Unload on the guy, curing Berserk as
you go. Do NOT ignore Berserk or you'll be sorry. Once Tanket's HP is 449999 or
lower, he switches to Rush Attack. If you can't get an attack in even with
Hastega, you're too slow to keep up. You'll need more Agi. Oh, even aeons will
get creamed by Rush Attack. Once he starts Rush Attacking, you're halfway done
- don't give up.

14. Monster strategy:

First a representation of how Fafnir moves:
-> 'Bash'
-> Triple Attack *ice*
-> Triple Attack *fire*
-> Triple Attack *lightning*
-> 'Bash'... ad infinitum
Another set-move-pattern enemy. As battle starts, Hastega, Shell, Protect. Then
it's only matter of predicting Fafnir's turns. First 'bash' is Protected. Then
before he gets second turn in, cast NulFrost. Fafnir's Triple Attack targets
one chr, then delivers ice damage to all (which will be nullified), and again
targets one chr. Before third turn cast NulBlaze. Fire-based Triple Attack is
bypassed. Before fourth turn cast NulShock. Lightning-based Triple Attack is
after you. Take note that Triple Attack has same 'effect' than Tanket's Rush
Attack - delays all chr's next turn (or speeds up Fafnir's, whichever sounds
better to you). Now Fafnir will copycat his moves from beginning. All you need
to do is to keep up with him, cast respective Nul spells and heal as necessary.

Power Break
14. Monster strategy:
RAA: Auto-Haste, Auto-Shell, Auto-Phoenix, Ribbon, Berserkproof
RWA: Break Damage Limit, Magic Counter, First Strike
Yet another I-like-to-ambush-you enemy. If that happens, Goodnight. See you in
next battle.
When battle commences, Hastega, then Shell. You may also want to Reflect
yourself to bounce back any spells Sprout may cast. Okay, all spells sans
Ultima. What's really dangerous is Goodnight (first attack used). All statuses
are manageable, except Berserk. D'you get Berserkproof? Any physicals launched
against Sprout will trigger Goodnight counter. Magic attacks however will not.
Use that to your advantage. Spare Change also won't trigger Goodnight. I
believe that Sprout will use Goodnight on his first turn, during subsequent
ones you'll be seeing an assortment of his magic attacks.
Sprout otherwise has really low HP. That Regen status he has is supposed to be
a trade-off for measly amount of HP? Nope. Die, fungus!

c) 'Bash' - VS one chr - phd
d) Ultima - NATT VS all chrs - mgd
e) 'Grow' - CATT - after Bomb King is target of third attack, it'll grow - will
do so three times, after which it doesn't grow anymore nor does it SelfDestruct
14. Monster strategy:
RAA: Auto-Haste, Auto-Protect, Auto-Phoenix, Fire Eater
RWA: Break Damage Limit, Counter-attack, Magic Counter, First Strike
Inflate me or die! Baaam! Easy. Really. Okay, seriously. Each three attacks on
King that do damage will trigger him to grow. He grows three times, and
*doesn't* explode in last stage. In first stage he uses 'bash', in second Fira,
in third Firaga, in last Ultima. So the motto is - the less attacks you get in,
the faster King dies. That said, sooner you kill Bomb King, less damaging
attacks you'll see.
After having pyrotechnics party for too long, I've found out that if your chr
Counter-Attacks or Magic Counters one of King's attacks, this will not make him
grow.

d) Crush Spike - VS one chr - phd + KO
14. Monster strategy:
RAA: Auto-Haste, Auto-Protect, Auto-Phoenix, Fire Eater, Deathproof

First a representation of how Juggernaut moves:
-> Charging
-> Salvo

-> complement of moves consisting of either Attack or Crush Spike... after four
Crush Spikes have been used...
-> Charging
-> Salvo... ad infinitum
Second to last species cretin and thank god, a set-pattern-bozo as well.
When battle starts, Hastega, then Protect. Jugi's first turn will be
automatically wasted for Charging. Second turn is nothing to worry about as
well - NulBlaze! Now it gets dangerous. You'll want to see four Crush Spikes
ASAP. Why? As soon as you do, Jugi's next turn will be Charging, meaning you
have two turns to deal damage to him, quite possibly defeating him as well.
Only physical attacks count, as Juggernaut is impervious to any magical damage.

-> Reppageki
-> Bushinzan
-> Shinryudan
-> Reppageki
-> Bushinzan
-> Shinryudan... ad infinitum
Last species creation. Bearing biggest HP of the bunch you'll want to have high
Eva and Str for this battle.
When battle starts, Hastega and then Protect. Anything funny you try on
Ironclad, he'll try something funny on you - Ironclad counters anything with
Reppageki. Now if your Eva is thru the roof, he'll miss. Bushinzan and
Shinryudan on the other hand always hit. Make sure you heal immediately after
Bushinzan. Restore MP too, as Bushinzan has Osmose effect. Shinryudan will
strike pretty hard, but nothing a quick Phoenix Down couldn't take care of.

With that said, it's only a matter of patience to bring down huge amount of HP
he has to offer.

a) Flare - CATT & NATT VS one chr - mgd
b) Megaton Punch - (CATT sometimes) VS one *or* two chrs - phd + KO
c) 'Punch' - VS one chr - phd
d) 'Fall back' - after inflicting over 100001 damage when EE is standing, he'll
fall on his back
e) 'Stand up' - after being struck down for two turns, he'll stand up on his
third turn after he was struck down
14. Monster strategy:
Ugh. I-counter-almost-everything arena fiend. For starters, this guy counters
anything with Megaton Punch against random (one!) chr. If not Deathproofed,
bye. One Phoenix Down later... On regular turns EE uses either 'Punch' or
Megaton Punch against *two* chrs! He may strike same chr twice, but that's
random. So first big warning: Megaton Punch counter attacks one chr, Megaton
Punch used on regular turns attacks two chrs.
There's more to it: By dealing exactly or over 100001, EE will fall on his
back. He can't counter with MP anymore, but will now use Flare as a counter.
This is much better than MP, don't you think? He will get back up on his third
turn after being struck down and continue attacking regularly on fourth. And
lastly, EE has constant Reflect.
That's all of the tactical briefing I have, now let's strategize. I usually
bring in Tidus, Yuna and Rikku, all with full Overdrive gauges, Tidus having
either Caladbolg or weapon with Break Damage Limit and knowing Blitz Ace.
Overdrive mode is set on Comrade. Battle starts!
As you see, getting MP-ed until kingdom come is bad, really bad. But that
100001 damage seems manageable, no? So the very first turn we'll want to do in

battle is knocking down EE. First turn cast Haste on everyone. First turn Tidus
gets let him unleash Blitz Ace onto unsuspecting EE - hopefully Tidus' Str is
high enough to deal over 100001 damage to EE. Make that Sphere Shot count in
the end! Alternatively, you could also try Doublecasting reflected Flares or
Ultimas onto EE's ass - the most important thing is to use as less turns as
possible to knock down EE. Once he's decked, Shell everyone. If you have AutoShell already on armor, even better. Then Entrust Tidus with either Rikku's or
Yuna's Ov. gauge. Now continue attacking him while taking care not to get KO-ed
cos of EE's Flares - remember to heal! EE needs to 'waste' two turns now,
before he gets back on his feet. This counts as his turn, hehehe. Now repeat
the exercise from before - Tidus uses Blitz Ace, or Doublecast Flares and
Ultimas, Entrust Tidus with remaining Ov. gauge (Yuna's or Rikku's), recast
Shell in case someone got knocked out anyway and proceed hacking away until he
gets back up ad infinitum.
If you can pull all of this off, only thing you'll ever see from EE is Flare.:)
Happy Fortune Sphere hunting.

c) Elemental Shift - CATT - once you hit Greater Sphere with an element it's
currently weak against, it'll use this to change element properties
d) 'Bash' - VS one chr - phd
e) Flare - CATT VS one chr - mgd
f) Thundaga - CATT VS an aeon - lightning mgd
g) Blizzaga - CATT VS an aeon - ice mgd
h) Firaga - CATT VS an aeon - fire mgd
i) Waterga - CATT VS an aeon - water mgd
14. Monster strategy:
GS counters (nearly) everything - any magic cast at him or physical attack with
Ultima, Overdrives with Hydraulic Press, if certain items are used on it you'll
see Flare counter. On regular turns it may use 'Bash' or Hydraulic Press (which

of the two you can't predict, it's random). If hit with element he's weak
against, Elemental Shift. In case you're using aeons and you have one of them
cast elemental magic on GS, it counters with level 3 element spell - with this
you also get to know its current elemental weakness.:) That's all he has to
offer. I bet you'd like to see only 'Bash' and Hydraulic Press, right? I have
just the way for you.
Bring in Yuna, Tidus, Rikku. Haste and Protect all characters. Finally cast
Reflect on all of them. Now there's no rush! Slowly work the following out.
Whoever goes first, have that chr use any level 1 el. spell, say Fire, on
him/herself. Fire will be reflected to GS. Now it'll either heal him or damage
him... but most importantly, GS *will not* counter with anything. If Fire dealt
damage to him, you just found his weakness. If not, repeat with other three
elements. When you know what he's weak against, simply use the following
strategy: repeatedly Doublecast reflected level 3 GS-is-weak-against-it
elemental magic at him. All attacks you'll ever see from GS are 'Bash' and
Hydraulic Press.:) No Ultima whatsoever. Don't forget to heal after each
Hydraulic Press! This is a gravity attack, yes, but it deals damage depending
on MAX HP. Once GS has about 500000 HP left, finish it off with Blitz Ace or
Attack Reels. Say hi to your Luck Spheres.
Otherwise, whenever you attack GS directly, you'll see Ultima counter. I
needn't mention this is extremely boring, having to sit thru 16 animations of
Ultima before GS is defeated (assuming you hit for 99999 damage). I'm not
saying it isn't good, it's just boring. If you feel you're up to the task, then
certainly go for it.
Absolutely the fastest way to defeat Greater Sphere: Tidus and two other
members have full Overdrive gauges (these two members must also know Entrust).
As battle starts, use Tidus' Blitz Ace. See Hydraulic Press counter. Have
second person Entrust his/her gauge to Tidus, who uses Blitz Ace again. Repeat
for third time and GS is gone. You can do the same with Wakka's Attack Reels,
in which case you only need one other person with full Overdrive gauge.
I've also figured out how come that GS can also start countering reflected
magic. In the battle against it as soon as you attack it directly
(physical/magical attack against it, or maybe a counterslice to its 'Bash'),
you can't reflect magic off of your characters and not see Ultima anymore.
Anytime after GS takes damage in one of the cases mentioned in parenthesis,
you'll see Ultima after reflected magic hits GS.

b) 'Bust out' - after dealing over 450001 damage while Catastrophe is in shell,
first attack that deal damage which will cross 450000 of total damage already
done to it will force him to come out of the shell
c) Toxic Spray - VS one chr - phd + Full Break - always used on chr with most
current HP
d) Demi - GRATT VS all chrs - mgd - tears off 25% current HP
e) Hundred Thorns - VS all chrs - phd
14. Monster strategy:
Yes. Set-pattern-bozo at last!
Prepare any way you want, since this guy is so predictable.
First a representation of how Catastrophe moves:
-> Toxic Cloud
-> C. skips a turn
-> Toxic Cloud
-> C. skips a turn... ad infinitum
[first attack that goes over 450001 damage dealt]
-> 'Bust out' used as a countermove to that attack
-> Toxic Spray
-> Demi
-> Hundred Thorns... ad infinitum pattern goes repeating itself
For first half of battle (until it comes out of the shell) C. will alternate
between Toxic Cloud and skipping next turn. Make sure you wear Confusion
protection! Don't let your chrs go wild. Keep attacking C. until you cross
450001 damage dealt limit, which is when it busts out of the shell. Yawn, so
many repetitive guys.
First turn C. gets in this form is Toxic Spray against one chr. Besides damage
it includes Full Break on attacked chr, so beware. Use Dispel on affected chr
to remove those Breaks. C.'s next turn is a laugh - I mean, Demi? Hah. However,
his next turn is not a laugh... Hundred Thorns, big phd to all chrs - Armor
Breaked chr, if still not healed, is gone for sure, and other two may barely
make it - Protect yourself prior to this attack! After Hundred Thorns C.
returns to basics - Toxic Spray, Demi, Hundred Thorns. Don't forget to Protect
and Shell your chrs! Apart from this tips all I wish you is winning against
this oversized whatever.:)
15. Special note: For unlocking Catastrophe you'll get 99x Door to Tomorrow.

12. Armor abilities: HP+10%, HP+20%, HP+30%
13. Monster's attacks:
a) 'Swipe' - VS one chr - phd
b) Haste - CATT on himself - some status altering attacks/magic trigger Haste
counter
c) Protect - on itself - adds Protect
d) Shell - on itself - adds Shell
e) Regen - on itself - adds Regen
f) Rainbow - VS all chrs - phd + Sleep, Silence, Darkness, Confusion and Curse
(Sleep, Silence and Darkness last for three chr's turns)
g) Convergence - NATT VS one chr - mgd
h) Condemn - CATT VS all chrs - phd + removes ANY positive status (Auto-Life
included)
14. Monster strategy:
Yes. Another set-pattern-bozo!
First a representation of how Th'uban moves:
-> Swipe
-> Rainbow
-> Protect / Shell / Regen / skips a turn
-> Convergence
-> Haste anytime in-between this attacks as a counter to some status attacks
-> Condemn anytime in-between this attacks as a counter to most attacks
Rule 1: Condemn removes any beneficial status. This includes Auto-Life.
Rule 2: Th'uban counters everything *except* reflected magic and some other
special cases. So start Doublecasting reflected Flares on the triple.
Rule 3: You must have Sleepproof and Confuseproof (or Ribbon) in your armor.
Rule 4: On 3rd, 7th, 11th, 15th and so on turns Th'uban goes like this...
- if not under Protect, Shell and Regen; if under Shell and Regen -> Protect
- if under Protect; Protect and Regen -> Shell
- if under Protect and Shell -> Regen
- if under Protect, Shell and Regen -> skips a turn
We've ruled out what to do, now let's discuss how to beat this guy. Cast AutoLife on all your chrs. Then cast Haste/ga, Protect, and finally Reflect. Wear
Sleepproof and Confuseproof armors! Now continuosly Doublecast Flares - make
sure you reflect them off your chrs. Otherwise Th'uban will counter with
Condemn and remove all statuses you worked hard to achieve. On first Th'uban's
turn he'll 'Swipe' one chr. Nothing dangerous. When you get hit with Rainbow,
this is nothing dangerous again as long as you have Sleepproof and Confuseproof
armors. Whatever Th'uban uses on third turn, Dispel it! On fourth turn you will
lose one chr - recently I discovered that Convergence deals 99999 damage
regardless of Mdef stat; however, Shell status reduces damage done by
Convergence to a mere 60000 or so. Th'uban then returns to regular program 'Swipe', Rainbow, Shell/Protect/Reflect, Convergence.
If you'll kill him with physical attacks, remember that any protections you
casted will be removed after Th'uban's counter. The method I recommend the most
is reflected magic. If however, you have 255 Def and Agi, then by all means
proceed by the hacking corridor.
I've also figured out how come that Th'uban can also start countering reflected
magic. In the battle against him as soon as you attack him directly
(physical/magical attack against him, or maybe a counterslice to his 'Swipe'),
you can't reflect magic off of your characters and not see Condemn anymore.

Anytime after Th'uban takes damage in one of the cases mentioned in


parenthesis, you'll see Condemn after reflected magic hits Th'uban. You can
Dispel his support magics without fear of Condemn, though.
15. Special note: For unlocking Th'uban you'll get 99x Gambler's Spirit.

11. Weapon abilities: Piercing, Triple AP
12. Armor abilities: HP+10%, HP+20%, HP+30%
13. Monster's attacks:
a) Megaton - STATT VS one chr - std + KO and Confusion - ignores any protection
b) 'Lick' - VS one chr - phd
c) Slime - STATT VS all chrs - std + Poison, Curse, Armor Break and Mental
Break - ignores any protection
d) 'Retreat in shell' - once you deal 2000000 to him, Neslug will retreat into
his shell
e) 'Come out' - once Neslug restores all HP to itself or you destroy his shell,
it'll come back out
f) Curaga - on oneself - restores big amount of HP - used only when in shell
14. Monster strategy:
The only original *original* fiend. All other seven are I-saw-him-before
bosses. Most dangerous attack by Neslug is Slime - attacks all chrs, does
Poison, Curse and two Breaks. I lived too long in delusion, but it is a fact
that you can't shut off Slime by Silencing Neslug - only use for Silence so far
is that Neslug isn't able to use Curaga when he's inside the shell. When you
get affected, heal Poison first, then Breaks (with Dispel!). Megaton will
Confuse and possibly KO chr unless protected. 'Lick' is your standard physical
attack. Neslug retreats into his shell once he has 1999999 HP remaining,
whereas he gains Regen and will use Curaga on his turns, unless Silenced. You
must bring his HP under 999999 now, which will break the shell. Attacks used
from now on are Megaton, 'Lick' and Slime. BTW, I also noticed that Neslug
becomes faster when the shell is gone, so beware.
When battle starts, cast Hastega, then Protect. Silence Neslug as your first
attack! Note also how much damage you did to him. If you can hit Neslug for
99999 with physicals, do so for exactly 20 times. The total damage done to
Neslug is 1999980. A special chart:
Round 1 (Neslug's HP is between 4000000 and 2000000):
- attack Neslug for so long until total damage done is 2000000 or less

- don't go over 2000000 yet or you'll screw up this strategy


- Neslug attacks with Megaton, 'Lick' and Slime
- for an attack crossing 2000000 mark use an Overdrive, Blitz Ace or Attack
Reels
Round 2 (Neslug's HP is between 1999999 and 1000000):
- Neslug is impervious to any physical attack, however, Blitz Ace still deals
damage... a glitch?
- Neslug can restore somewhere between 65000 and 100 HP to himself for each
turn someone gets
- you must bring his total HP down below 1000000 so his shell breaks
- immediately after you Blitz Aced (more recommended is Slice&Dice, as it has
faster recovery rate) Neslug for first time, have someone else from active
party Entrust Tidus with Ov. gauge - meanwhile the other character Doublecasts
Flares/Ultimas in order to nullify Neslug's efforts to heal HP
- as soon as Tidus' turn comes up, use Blitz Ace or Slice&Dice immediately
- Bang! Neslug's shell is broken
- if you manage to get perfect Attack Reels, ie 12 hits, damage done by this
attack will be 1199988, which means you won't even see Round 2, cos Neslug's
shell will be instantly broken
Round 3 (Neslug's HP is between 999999 and 0):
- defeat it

13. Monster's attacks:
a) 'Block' - any attack directed at the body will cause arm (or both if still
alive) to move in the way to block and reduce the damage
b) 'The arms regenerated!' - after Buster spends few turns without its arms,
they'll regenerate
14. Monster strategy:
First a description of how boss acts in battle.
Head of the boss goes like this: it forfeits its first turn and grants it to
torso of the boss, which unleashes 'Punch'. Second turn it'll 'start to move
suspiciously'. Third turn it releases Contamination, which poisons, zombifies
and full breaks one chr *regardless* of protections. In case you attack the
head to stop it from moving, Contamination is forfeited. Instead head returns
to step one, which would be forfeiting its turn and granting the attack to
torso of the boss.
Torso has a set pattern as well... kinda. It will alternate like this: one or
two turns of 'Punch' (including a free attack it gets from the head), then
either Ultima or Ultima+'Punch' combo. If head is killed, you will see this

pattern: Ultima, Ultima+'Punch', Ultima, Ultima+'Punch' etc. No 'Punch' attack


whatsoever.
As it may appear, killing the head is bad idea. I agree and don't recommend
killing the head. It's not that big of a deal to chuck a low class spell at
head to disable Contamination. Did you know that Contamination can poison and
zombify even aeons? Try it and you'll see. Enough tech blabber, let's talk
fight strategy.
Use Tidus, Yuna and Rikku. First have Rikku Mix Trio of 9999, Tidus use
Hastega, and Yuna Protect and Shell on all chrs. When you're set, start using
Quick Hits. If low on health, use Pray special. It'll restore 9999 HP to all
three chrs cos of Mix we used before.
Buster's first three attacks are almost guaranteed to be 'Punch', 'Punch', then
Ultima. About now head would be moving suspiciously. Use Fire or something on
it and it'll shut up until next time. In case you're too busy to do it, take
heed that chr hit will get Poison, Zombie and Full Break. Heal Poison first,
then Break, then Zombie. If you choose to kill the head - it has about 120000
HP.
Buster doesn't have just the head, it also has two more sidekicks. They block
any and all physical damage directed at the torso, thus lessening the damage
greatly. Heh, if you have Celestial weapons, even these two sidekicks are
powerless. When they're destroyed, it takes about three torso's turns for them
to regenerate.
Last pointers: I don't recommend killing the head, but if you have pretty high
Mdef and Def, with which you can sustain enormous damage done by Ultima spell,
then by all means make just one change: kill the head then Quick Hit Buster to
death, healing when necessary.
15. Special note: For unlocking Ultima Buster you'll get 99x Dark Matter.

13. Monster's attacks:
a) 'Swipe' - (CATT) VS one chr - phd
b) Eraser - VS one chr - inflicts Petrify - can't be avoided - cannot be used
if only one chr is able to fight at any given time - I think it is never used
sooner than third Shinryu's regular turn
c) Shining - NATT VS all chrs - deals 8 hits between random targets - mgd

14. Monster strategy:


Ruby Weapon strategy-copier! Heh.
This guy has only three attacks, two of which make your life annoying. First is
'Swipe' - counters anything you do to him. The other is Eraser - petrifies one
chr and shatters him/her, thus making it unavailable for rest of battle. Argh.
And he can remove two chrs. Grrrr.
IMO Shinryu is not hard as it seems. Preparations you need to take care of:
armor with Auto-Potion, Auto-Protect, Auto-Shell, Auto-Haste. Have only XPotions available for healing with Auto-Potion. Weapon with Counter-Attack and
Break Damage Limit (Caladbolg for example). At least somewhat decent Def and
Mdef.
Once battle starts, Haste chr you'll use for the battle. Personally I used
Tidus. Then KO Wakka and Rikku. With this you'll never see Eraser, as Tidus is
only chr left that is able to fight. Strategy? You attack Shinryu, he attacks
you. He 'Swipe'-s you, you attack him. This is all as counters. If hit by
Shining, don't worry. Auto-Shell will lessen the damage. Even healing is taken
care of cos of Auto-Potion. As soon as Tidus' HP falls below 50%, Auto-Potion
kicks in with an X-Potion being used on Tidus. Now it's only matter of patience
to beat Shinryu for good.
15. Special note: For unlocking Shinryu you'll get 30x Megalixir.

11. Weapon abilities: Break Damage Limit
12. Armor abilities: Break HP Limit
13. Monster's attacks:
a) Ethereal Cannon - NATT VS one chr - mgd
b) 'Swipe' - VS one chr - phd
c) Ultima - (CATT sometimes) & NATT VS all chrs - mgd
d) Armageddon - STATT VS all chrs - std - always deals 99999 damage
e) Ultra Spark - STATT VS all chrs - std + Slow, Curse, Poison and Power Break
- damage done cannot be halved in any way
14. Monster strategy:
RWA: Counter-Attack, Magic Counter, Break Damage Limit
RAA: Auto-Haste, Auto-Protect, Auto-Shell, Poisonproof, Ribbon
I have been able to decipher some of Nemesis' attack pattern:
- Armageddon can be used on 9th, 10th or 11th regular turn Nemesis gets; which
turn it cannot be predicted

- on other regular turns he may either 'Swipe' you, use Ethereal Cannon or
Ultra Spark
- You'll never see two Ethereal Cannons consecutively (physical attacks inbetween excluded); same applies for Ultra Spark; ie once you see Ultra Spark,
one of next attacks may be Cannon (or Armageddon, if 10th turn is nearing
close); or else once you see Cannon, one of next attacks may be Spark (or
Armageddon, if 10th turn is nearing close)
- Steal from him (if you want his spheres so badly, use Mug instead - this will
not trigger Ultima), Overdrive him, or use Special ability on him... you'll see
Ultima counter
For the battle itself I can provide you with following strategic tips:
- have your HP at least 35000 (or 18000, which you can double with Stamina
Tonic when in battle)
- 'Swipe' deals about 15000 damage, Ethereal Cannon 20000, Ultima 5000 to all,
Ultra Spark 32000 to all, Armaggedon 99999 damage to all
- everything but Ultra Spark and Armageddon can be reduced with Protect and
Shell
- before every 9th Nemesis' turn *make sure* you either Auto-Life all chrs or
summon an aeon to take Armaggedon damage for you
- use Quick Hits to attack Nemesis and Quick Pockets to heal
Unfortunately it appears that Nemesis doesn't have 100% set attack pattern
except for few discrepancies as outlined above.
15. Special note: For unlocking Nemesis you'll get 10x Master Sphere.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Thus you have conquered Monster Arena at last. All of the created bosses that
poor geezer created have had their behinds handed to them. After you toast
Nemesis, you'll be awarded Mark of Conquest (for those, who have surpassed
mortal bounds). Yeah, right, I've surpassed even more. But toughest challenge
awaits you yet...

=============================================================================
=============================================================================
35) ABOUT DARK AEONS
=============================================================================
=============================================================================
IMPORTANT NOTE: Dark Aeons are only available in PAL and International versions
of the game. They cannot be fought in NTSC version of the game!
Dark Aeons are where the true challenge lies. Undeniably they're the hardest
bosses in the game (along with Nemesis). There's eight Dark Aeons. Once all of
them are defeated, a new boss, Penance, will be unlocked. Return to NavMap and
pick new destination that showed up in the drop menu...
Q1 - Where are these guys?
A1 - As soon as you get the airship under your command, go to following places:
Dark Valefor - in front of Besaid Village
Dark Ifrit - in Sanubia Desert (go all the way into the desert until you reach
the sand pit where you fought Sandragora for passage to Home; near the pit is a
person standing looking for her daughter; say yes and you'll go on a search;
when prompted, go up...)
Dark Ixion - in Thunder Plains (when you select Thunder Plains in ship's
navigator, you'll land in Rin's agency; exit it, then go up; you'll see a
warrior standing below one of the pillars; talk to him...)

Dark Shiva - in front of Macalania Temple (return to Macalania Temple; once you
approach, a Guado summoner will spill the beans and then...)
Dark Bahamut - in Zanarkand ruins, in the same room where you fought Y-woman
Dark Yojimbo - in Cavern of the Stolen Fayth (go all the way into the back of
the cavern; when you try to exit... (don't use the teleport pad!))
Dark Anima - in Mt. Gagazet (remember the first trial in Mt. Gagazet where you
had Wakka and his ball hit a center of some circling thingey?; return to this
spot and repeat the exercise; careful - if you miss, you'll have to fight some
fiends [you can flee], then you can retry...)
Dark Magus Sisters - in Mushroom Rock (return here and you'll see two females
on the road; try going past them...)
Penance - after all dark aeons are defeated, go to airship and choose NavMap;
in fall down menu Penance entry will appear
[Penance destination pic available at following URL:
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/penance_destiny.jpg]
Q2 - I went to the exact location you wrote in Q1, yet no Dark aeon appeared! I
have the airship already and the only boss still left standing is final boss.
What am I doing wrong?
A2 - Dark aeons can ONLY be fought in PAL (ie European countries) and
International versions of FFX. You cannot fight Dark aeons, if you have NTSC
version. Why? Simply because they're *not* in NTSC version.
Q3 - Let me at them!
A3 - *Not* so fast. They can and will wipe the floor with your party if you're
not well prepared.
Q4 - Okay, what do I need?
A4 - Lots of preparations, some of which include:
# An armor consisting of Auto-Phoenix, Ribbon, Auto-Haste, Auto-Protect.
# A weapon consisting of Break Damage Limit, Triple Overdrive, Counter-attack,
Magic Counter. Even better choice are Celestial weapons. However, with custom
made weapons it is possible to defeat first four dark aeons with ease. At 255
Str and a bit of Luck you can deal 99999 damage to Valefor and Shiva. Ifrit and
Ixion will take about 70000 damage per strike.
# Your stats should be beefed up a lot. I suggest maxing out all statistics
except Magic and Luck (but you do need your Luck to be at least 80 or so).
# Don't bother maxing your HP over 9999 as each and every Dark aeon can be
smoked off with 9999 HP... and right strategy of course.
# Learn Quick Hit, Auto-Life and Quick Pockets.
Q5 - Which characters do you recommend?
A5 - Personally I used Tidus (Blitz Ace), Yuna (her aeons can block attacks),
and Rikku (Mix). However, once you max the stats of certain character, none of
them is better than the other. The only difference lies in their Overdrives.
Q6 - Hey! Wakka's Attack Reels deal more damage than Blitz Ace.
A6 - Of course. So you may want to switch Tidus for Wakka. I prefered Tidus
only because of... well, him being the main character.
Q7 - Got all that. Any last minute changes and notes?
A7 - I suggest starting on Dark Valefor. It has the lowest HP of the bunch.
Then eliminate them in order you got them thru the game (with few exceptions).
Fighting Dark Aeons is useful cos they like to drop an armor piece with Ribbon
already on it.
For first four dark aeons you will do very well with weapons having Break

Now let's begin. In ship's NavMap choose Besaid Island as your next

destination. Walk all the way up to Promontory and *save* your game. Walk to
the entrance of village and let the battle begin.

RAA: Auto-Haste, Auto-Shell, Auto-Protect
RWA: Break Damage Limit, Magic Counter, Counter-Attack
With Agi of 255 and Auto-Haste you will get at least two turns with each
character before Valefor gets a kick in. Info about Valefor's attacks:
- 'swipe' deals 3700 damage
- Energy Ray deals about 1000 damage to all
- Energy Blast deals 50000 damage to all (cannot be halved in any way)
- Sonic Wings deals about 1200 damage
- this is amount of damage dealt to chrs with 255 Def and Mdef
As you can see, only danger lies in Energy Blast, which is only used when
Valefor's Ovedrive gauge charges to the max. Among other turns Valefor will be
using Energy Ray, 'swipe' and Sonic Wings, none of which are particularly
dangerous.
You'll also need to have high Accuracy, or else you'll keep missing Valefor
when physically attacking. Don't bother with magic, unless you have 255 Mag and
Doublecast. I suggest using only physical attacks.
Valefor's Overdrive gauge will fill up after you attack it for 8 times. On
first turn it gets after that, you'll be Energy Blasted. Unless your HP goes
well over 60000, you'll die. Okay, let's discuss a bit how you should fight.
First thing to be done is cast Auto-Life on all three chrs. Forget about Shell

and Protect, they're useless. Have Rikku Mix Trio of 9999 and use Pray to heal
all chrs when necessary. Then use Quick Hit ability to keep attacking Valefor,
thus allowing you to get even more hits in.
Once Valefor hits Overdrive, silently eat the punishment. As soon as you wake
up thanks to Auto-Life, recast it! Then simply repeat what you were previously
doing and Valefor goes down the potty.

RAA: Auto-Haste, Auto-Shell, Auto-Protect, Auto-Phoenix
RWA: Break Damage Limit, Magic Counter
Here's what you absolutely need if you want to have a chance against Ifrit. You
don't need any status protection (for a change). You do need Auto-Haste in
order to keep up with delay effect of Meteor Strike. Your HP doesn't need to
exceed 9999. And lastly, high Agi, high Acc and about 50 Luck. Set Overdrive
mode to Comrade.
Let's talk a bit about Ifrit's attacks:
- Meteor Strike does about 22000 damage to non-Shelled chr and delays that
chr's next turn
- 'Swipe' does about 10000 damage to non-protected chr; it is only used as
counter
- Hellfire does 33000 of non-element damage to all and can't be halved
As battle starts, Protect everyone and then Shell. Auto-Life is not to be used
except before Hellfire... which is when you may just as easily summon an aeon
to take the shot. Have each chr use Quick Hit once, and as Ifrit will counter
them, each will have a fraction of HP missing. So have first chr whose turn

comes up, use Megalixir or Healing Water.


Ifrit annoyingly counters everything you throw at him. If you have Protect on,
you'll get his for about 5000 damage. You should always have Shell on as well,
else you'll get 20000 HP taken aways when Meteor Strike comes. On regular turns
Ifrit uses only Meteor Strike and 'Swipe' as a counter. Attack Ifrit with Quick
Hits. If chr falls, revive him with Full-Life. When Ifrit's bar is filled,
you'll see Hellfire on next turn. Auto-Life yourselves or summon an aeon
instead. One dead aeon later continue with strategy of each chr taking one
Quick Hit, then having one heal all members, again each chr takes one Quick Hit
etc.
Little girl has been found! Congratulations to Dark Ifrit.
In case of lack of Luck, I have two alternate strategies:
- You could try Doublecasting Flares or Ultimas at his ass. Will take longer,
but at least you don't need to have high Luck. You do, however, need high Magic
if you want to deal a good amount of damage.
- Blitz Ace and/or Attack Reels. Overdrive attacks do not miss, regardless of
Luck and Evade of the enemy. Once Tidus or Wakka used their Overdrives, Entrust
either one with Overdrive bars from fellow party members. Comrade Overdrive
mode will take care of Overdrive gauges filling up quickly so that it won't
take long before unleashing further Overdrives.

RAA: Auto-Haste, Auto-Shell, Ribbon, Auto-Phoenix
RWA: Break Damage Limit, Magic Counter, Counter-Attack
Here's what you absolutely need if you want to have a chance against Ixion.
You'll need Sleepproof for first battle and Confuseproof for second. What two
battles? Well, you need to defeat Ixion twice before he's considered dead. You
do need Auto-Haste in order to keep up with delay effect of Thundaja. Your HP
doesn't need to exceed 9999. And lastly, high Agi, high Acc and about 80 Luck.
Set Overdrive mode to Comrade. If your Eva is enormous, Ixion's physical
attacks will never hit you and inflict some nasty status changes on you.
Let's talk a bit about Ixion's attacks:
- Aerospark does about 8000 damage to non-Protected chr and removes any
positive statuses on that chr; it is used only in first battle when Ixion's
Overdrive is charged
- 'Swipe a' does about 4800 damage to non-Protected chr; it is only used as
counter in first battle and it can incur Sleep along with Mental and Armor
Break
- 'Swipe b' does about 4800 damage to non-Protected chr; it is only used as
regular turn's move in second battle and it can incur Confuse along with Mental
and Armor Break
- Thundaja does about 5000 non-elemental damage to non-Shelled chr and delays
that chr's next turn
- Thor's Hammer does 12000 of non-element damage to all and can't be halved; it
adds Full Break to surviving chrs
As first battle starts, Protect everyone and then Shell. Auto-Life is not to be
used in this battle. Have each chr use Quick Hit once, and as Ixion will
counter them, each will have a fraction of HP missing. So have first chr whose
turn comes up, use Megalixir or Healing Water.
Ixion annoyingly counters everything you throw at him. If you have Protect on,
you'll get hit for about 4000 damage and Sleep, Armor and Mental Break. If you
pack high Evade, you'll be spared, tho'. On regular turns Ixion uses only
Thundaja and 'Swipe a' as a counter. Attack Ixion with Quick Hits. If chr
falls, revive him with Full-Life. When Ixion's bar is filled, you'll see
Aerospark. If you die, you die. Don't bother with Auto-Life, as it gets
removed, remember? One Aerospark later continue with strategy of each chr
taking one Quick Hit, then having one heal all members, again each chr takes
one Quick Hit etc.
First match time finished. 1:0 for Tidus.
In case of lack of Luck, I have two alternate strategies:
- You could try Doublecasting Flares or Ultimas at his ass. Will take longer,
but at least you don't need to have high Luck. You do, however, need high Magic
if you want to deal a good amount of damage.
- Blitz Ace and/or Attack Reels. Overdrive attacks do not miss, regardless of
Luck and Evade of the enemy. Once Tidus or Wakka used their Overdrives, Entrust
either one with Overdrive bars from fellow party members. Comrade Overdrive
mode will take care of Overdrive gauges filling up quickly so that it won't
take long before unleashing further Overdrives.
Now that big summoner is down, you need to spank the kid. He will randomly
appear in North Thunder Plains along with Ixion. Run into them and second
battle will issue. Note that you can run away from this one.
This battle has few differences. Ixion doesn't counter anymore, on regular
turns he uses 'Swipe b' (same as before, only instead of Sleep you get Confuse)
or Aerospark, and in Overdrive he uses Thor's Hammer. 'Swipe b' can easily be
avoided with high Agility, Auto-Life is still a waste (cos of Aerospark). Only
Auto-Life yourselves prior to Thor's Hammer. Thor's Hammer may likely kill some
of your chrs, but thanks to Auto-Life they'll be back before you know it. On
chrs that survived Thor's Hammer use Dispel immediately to remove Breaks he/she
received. All in all, I consider this battle easier than first one, as you
receive less attacks. Subdue Ixion with Quick Hits as usual by now.

Alternate strategy sent in by Fred K.:


Your three characters are Wakka, Yuna, and Auron. Wakka and Auron have the
Auto-phoenix ability. Have 99 Phoenix Downs. Whenever you attack and Ixion
counterattacks either Wakka or Auron will revive. You need about 20 Phoenix
Downs to win this battle. The first battle you don't have to worry about Thor's
Hammer. When Ixion's gauge is full, he will only use Aerospark, and can only
kill one character.
In second battle Ixion uses Thor's Hammer so when his gauge is nearly full use
Yuna and one of her aeons. When Ixion has used Thor's Hammer you can continue
the fight. If you didn't use one of the Aeons Ixion would wipe
out your entire party (can be rectified with Auto-Life).

ROUND 4 - DARK SHIVA ---> A129

17. Monster's attacks:
a) 'Kick' - VS one chr - phd + removes positive statuses, including Auto-Life
b) Heavenly Strike - VS one chr - phd + instant KO, Berserk and Confuse
c) Diamond Dust - STATT VS all chrs - std
18. Monster strategy:

RAA: Auto-Haste, Auto-Protect, Deathproof, Berserkproof, Confuseproof, Ribbon
RWA: Break Damage Limit, Magic Counter, Counter-Attack
Here's what you absolutely need if you want to have a chance against Shiva. You
must get Deathproof and either Berserkproof or Confuseproof (I suggest
Confuseproof, for berserked chr will at least try to hit her). You need AutoHaste in order to keep up with Shiva's crazy Agility. Your HP doesn't need to
exceed 9999. And lastly, high Agi, high Acc and about 120 Luck. Set Overdrive
mode to Comrade.
Let's talk a bit about Shiva's attacks:
- 'Kick' does 6000 damage to non-Protected chr and removes any positive
statuses on that chr
- Heavenly Strike does about 10000 damage to non-Protected chr and carries

instant KO, Berserk and Confuse


- Diamond Dust does 85000 of non-element damage to all and can't be halved
- Finally, Shiva appears to have inherent ability of Quick Hit; you can easily
see so in CTB window in upper right corner; when she uses 'Kick' or Heavenly
Strike, see how fast she'll get next turn... after all of your chrs take one;
and this is at 255 Agi and Auto-Haste!
As battle starts, don't bother with casting protective statuses cos of Shiva's
'Kick', which has Dispel effect. Auto-Life is a waste to be used... cast it
only before Shiva's Diamond Dust, which is used when she hits Overdrive. Have
each chr use Quick Hits until Shiva gets an attack in. Heal or revive,
depending on attack she used and your protection against it, then continue with
Quick Hits. As Shiva's Overdrive gets full, eat Diamond Dust punishment. Cough
cough. When woken up thanks to Auto-Life, immediately have one or two chrs
Quick Pocket Megalixir or two. Fighting conditions restored, now kick Shiva
into oblivion.
In case of lack of Luck, I have two alternate strategies:
- You could try Doublecasting Flares or Ultimas at her ass. Will take longer,
but at least you don't need to have high Luck. You do, however, need high Magic
if you want to deal a good amount of damage.
- Blitz Ace and/or Attack Reels. Overdrive attacks do not miss, regardless of
Luck and Evade of the enemy. Once Tidus or Wakka used their Overdrives, Entrust
either one with Overdrive bars from fellow party members. Comrade Overdrive
mode will take care of Overdrive gauges filling up quickly so that it won't
take long before unleashing further Overdrives.
When you defeat Dark Shiva, a familiar scene occurs. Stream of Guado Guards.
Run all the way back to 'Macalania: Crevasse'. You'll need to fight two or
three times anyway, as those bozos are fast. Once on new screen, return to
entrance of Macalania Temple and guards are gone.
Note: From Dark Bahamut onward, it is strongly recommended to max out your
statistics. Concentrate on all of them, except HP (build it up to 9999), Magic
and MP.

RAA: Stoneproof, Slowproof, Auto-Haste, Ribbon, Auto-Protect
RWA: Break Damage Limit, Counter-Attack
S***! What's he doing here? I want my Sun Crest. Sorry, first you have to
defeat this 4 million HP jerk. In case you don't care for killer strategy
below, here's what you absolutely need if you want to have a chance against
Bahamut. You'll need Stoneproof (or Ribbon) to avoid being petrified, Slowproof
or Auto-Haste to avoid being slowed and you may or may not want to get AutoProtect. Your HP doesn't need to exceed 9999. And lastly, high Agi, high Acc
and about 100 Luck. Yes, Bahamut is one of dark aeons with insanely high Evade
(thanks solely to his Luck) and without your Luck you will do no good. Set
Overdrive mode to Comrade.
Damage Bahamut's attacks do are based on max stats of my chrs:
- Mega Flare 42000 damage to all *regardless* of stats
- Impulse 7000 damage to all
- 'Bash' 8000 damage to one, but it loves to get criticals; that's why I
suggested you may want to employ Auto-Protect
Battle is commencing! Yahoo! Start by using Quick Hits, and most importantly,
*keep count of how many times you attacked him!!!* After each fifth attack
Bahamut counters with Impulse. It inflicts Full Break, Slow and Petrify. This
Petrify shatters your chr regardless of HP. So wear that Stoneproof. You DO NOT
want to be short of a chr. Slow side-effect will be made useless by Slowproof,
or cast Haste on affected chrs. Remove Break effects with Dispel on affected
chr. There, bad effects of Impulse have been negated, proceed with another five
attacks on Bahamut until one of two things happen:
a) Bahamut gets regular attack without Overdrive gauge being full
In this case you'll see 'Bash'. If Bahamut gets a breaked character, revive
that chr, cos he's sure to get KO-ed. If Bahamut gets non-breaked chr, heal or
revive that chr. Protect status is good!
b) Bahamut gets regular attack with Overdrive gauge being full
Alert. Mega-Flare is imminent. If you pack less than 50000 HP, you *will*
either need to cast Auto-Life on your chrs or summon an aeon to take the shot
instead. Once the animation is finished, your chrs are back on their feet.
Auto-Life IS NOT removed by Mega-Flare!
We're back at beginning, so continue with attacks on Bahamut, taking note of
how many attacks you launched against him, to cast Auto-Life prior to MegaFlare and to use Dispel on Break-ed chrs.
In case of lack of Luck, I have two alternate strategies:
- You could try Doublecasting Flares or Ultimas at his ass. Will take longer,
but at least you don't need to have high Luck. You do, however, need high Magic
if you want to deal a good amount of damage.
- Blitz Ace and/or Attack Reels. Overdrive attacks do not miss, regardless of
Luck and Evade of the enemy. Once Tidus or Wakka used their Overdrives, Entrust
either one with Overdrive bars from fellow party members. Comrade Overdrive
mode will take care of Overdrive gauges filling up quickly so that it won't
take long before unleashing further Overdrives.
KILLER STRATEGY!!! All you need is Auto-Life White Magic, Sentinel Special and
a weapon with Counter-Attack ability for Sentinel character (if you have
Sentinel and Counter-Attack weapons for all three, that's great). What do you

do? Simply use Sentinel for all of the battle. Bahamut's regular turn is
'Bash'. One of Sentinel chrs will run in, take the damage and then counter with
a physical attack immediately. The great thing about it is *that it doesn't
count to Bahamut's Impulse counter*, ie you can deal damage to Bahamut in this
way 30 times or more, and you still won't see any Impulses! The only danger you
have left is Mega-Flare. Nothing quick Auto-Life couldn't solve (or 45000 HP,
if you have that much - Mega Flare deals about 42000 damage to all chrs with
whatever stats they have). You could also summon an Aeon to take the Flare.

RAA: Stoneproof, Slowproof, Auto-Haste, Ribbon, Auto-Protect
RWA: Break Damage Limit, Counter-Attack, First Strike
Let's show this overgrown samurai how one should deal with it. Here's what you
absolutely need if you want to have a chance against Yojimbo (you have to fight
him 5 times before he is gone for good!). You'll need Stoneproof (or Ribbon) to
avoid being petrified, Slowproof or Auto-Haste to avoid being slowed and you
may or may not want to get Auto-Protect. Your HP doesn't need to exceed 9999.
Yojimbo is a bit better at evading as he has slightly higher Luck. Set
Overdrive mode to Comrade.
Let's discuss Yojimbo's attacks a bit:
- Wakizashi strikes all, and does about 24000 damage at max stats
- Daigoro strikes one chr for about 7000 damage, inflicts Poison and Petrify

(thankfully chr doesn't shatter if damage incurred is lower than current HP)
- Kozuka strikes one chr for about 6000 damage and also does Slow and Full
Break
- Zanmato which is only used on Overdrive, strikes all chrs and means Game
Over, as it removes Auto-Life as well; only way to evade it is having an aeon
take the place
Prior to first battle equip all three battling chrs with First Strike custom
weapons. As battle commences in the very back of the cavern Yojimbo will ambush
you 100% of the time. In 33% cases he may use Wakizashi on his first turn. With
more than 25000 HP and Auto-Protect in place (Wakizashi may still score
critical strike), you'll be just fine. If struck by Daigoro, you may go
'Aaaargh!' if chr attacked gets shattered. Equip Stoneproof armors to avoid
that. Else cure Poison status you may also receive from same attack. If Kozukaed, use Dispel to remove Breaks. But as we have First Strike, do following:
have Rikku Mix Ultra NulAll first. Don't go 'Huh? Why do I need this?0... if
you couple this with Auto-Protect armors you equipped prior to battle together
with 5x Cheer effect Ultra NulAll adds, your defence will be high enough to
survive Yojimbo's Wakizashi. As general rule by now, start attacking with Quick
Hits. Heal after each of Yojimbo's attacks! If you're unable to hit him because
of low Luck, resort to Doublecasting Flares and Ultimas. Yojimbo doesn't
counter anything, so you're safe in this field. Beware of Yojimbo's Overdrive summon aeon to take Zanmato as you cannot survive it, not even with Auto-Life.
Thankfully he packs only 1600000 HP - 17 hits each at 99999 and he's a goner.
After you defeat him for first time, his summoner will flee toward entrance of
the cavern. Go into pursuit and on the way you will engage in four more
battles. You *will* have to make a slight detour on the way - that is, check
all the rooms on the way to cavern's exit. Summoner 'hid' himself into one of
those rooms. Repeat the strategy given above and you shall emerge victorious.
Additional strategy in case you can't hit often with physical attacks:
- Blitz Ace and/or Attack Reels. Overdrive attacks do not miss, regardless of
Luck and Evade of the enemy. Once Tidus or Wakka used their Overdrives, Entrust
either one with Overdrive bars from fellow party members. Comrade Overdrive
mode will take care of Overdrive gauges filling up quickly so that it won't
take long before unleashing further Overdrives.
TOP STRATEGIC TIP:
As Yojimbo needs to be defeated five times in order to be legitimately dead,
you can try this: Defeat him four and four times only, then return to back of
the cavern and use save sphere found there to save your game, then reset. Load
lastly saved game, proceed in the extreme back of the cavern and here we go
again. Beat Yojimbo four times, load, reset, rinse and repeat. This is the
fastest and somewhat 80% reliable way of getting 4-slotted Ribbon armors, if
you're a lucky bastard and Yojimbo drops one. As an added bonus you will
receive either Dark Matters or Master Spheres after battle.
TOP STRATEGIC TIP:
Next aeons to be buried are Magus Sisters. You may have already tried to fight
them before, only to be mercilessly slaughtered by Delta Attack (like I did
countless times). One thing I need to mention: Magus Sisters have painfully
high Evade and enormous Luck to boost that. Even with 200 Luck and 255 Acc some
of my attacks didn't connect with Mindy. Thankfully, there is a way to fight
them one by one! First Sandy, then Mindy, and lastly Cindy. What do you need to
do?
[Dark Magus Sisters pic available at following URL:
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/dark_magus.jpg]
Head to Mushroom Rock Road where there are a child and a woman talking. Walk
past them and scene will occur. When given control of Tidus again, *run* to the
exit on your left!!! Don't let them catch you, or you will face them in battle,
all three with full Overdrives and Cindy releasing Delta Attack on her turn.
There's no way in hell to survive that (except aeon sacrificing itself).

Once on next screen, use the platform. When on the top, go up. Minigame will
issue, cleverly called 'Getting Away'. Your goal is to reach the end of this
path before the summoners running after you have a chance to capture you.
Longer you'll get, better your odds in upcoming battle. Screen will flash to
help you decipher how close pursuers are:
- Not flashing -> you're safe
- Yellow flash -> pursuers are getting close
- Red flash -> capture imminent
It may sound easy, but it's quite difficult, especially cos of dumb camera that
has new angles (specifically for this minigame, I presume). You should at least
try to make it past half of the path, at which point you lose one pursuer Cindy. If you get caught from now on, you'll have to fight only Sandy and
Mindy. 2 aeons is still bad, but at least you won't see Delta Attack. If you're
able to make it all the way to the second platform at end of the path,
congratulate yourself. You made it! You may now fight sisters one by one,
starting with Sandy. What is great about my strategy for these three is... you
won't need Ribbon at all!

d) Delta Attack - NATT VS all chrs - 6 hits to all chrs - removes *any*
positive statuses, Auto-Life included - can only be used if all three Sisters
are present in battle and their Overdrives are full
18. Monster strategy:
RAA: Stoneproof, Auto-Haste, Ribbon, Auto-Protect, Auto-Shell, Auto-Med
RWA: Break Damage Limit, Counter-Attack, First Strike
Here's what you absolutely need if you want to have a chance against Sandy.
You'll need Stoneproof (or Ribbon) to avoid being petrified. Your HP doesn't

need to exceed 9999 (in which case you'll need Auto-Protect). To negate MegaGraviton's nasty side effects, you will need either Ribbon for complete
protection or at least Sleepproof. Set Overdrive mode to Comrade.
Let's discuss Sandy's attacks a bit:
- Razzia deals about 97000 damage to one and removes Auto-Life; survive it only
with 99999 HP and Auto-Protect
- 'Slash' will smoke off about 12000 HP of one chr and petrify that chr, unless
Stoneproofed; if damage done is greater than current HP, chr is lost
- Mega-Graviton is used when Sandy's Ov. bar is full; you *must* have your HP
over half or else you'll be killed, as damage done is based on MAX HP; you will
also receive all sorts of bad stuff, Doom and Sleep being the worst; have at
least Sleepproof in your armor
- Delta Attack ain't used, as there's only one sis to deal with
As battle starts (may get ambushed), first thing to do is Protect yourselves.
Don't bother with Auto-Life except in one condition I'll mention later. Because
of Stoneproof you won't lose any chrs. If Razzia-ed, revive the chr with FullLife magic in case MAX HP exceeds 9999! Use Phoenix items in case MAX HP is
9999. Use Quick Hits or Doublecasted Flares and Ultimas if you can't hit Sandy
efficiently. When her Ov. bar gets full, she'll use Mega-Graviton on her next
turn, so prepare accordingly. Make sure your HP is below 33% MAX HP (Doublecast
Demis on yourself or use Dark Matter on yourself, just make sure you knock
everyone's health under that limit) or 20% MAX HP (this is in case you have
Auto-Shell armor). Cast Auto-Life on all three. If you still have available
turns, attack her. Once Mega-Graviton strikes, everyone dies, but will then be
revived thanks to Auto-Life. Sandy may still get a turn before your first chr
is able to act, but Sandy's attacks only target one, so this is the most you'll
lose.
Final result? One chr dead, two chrs alive and ready to act, *no* bad statuses
whatsoever, Sandy waiting for her input. First chr that gets to act revives
fallen one, the other Quick Pockets few Megalixirs and here we go. Fighting
conditions restored to maximum and it's ass kicking time.
Additional strategy in case you can't hit often with physical attacks:
- Blitz Ace and/or Attack Reels. Overdrive attacks do not miss, regardless of
Luck and Evade of the enemy. Once Tidus or Wakka used their Overdrives, Entrust
either one with Overdrive bars from fellow party members. Comrade Overdrive
mode will take care of Overdrive gauges filling up quickly so that it won't
take long before unleashing further Overdrives.

Doom, Silence, Darkness, Slow - can only be used when Mindy's Overdrive is full
d) Delta Attack - NATT VS all chrs - 6 hits to all chrs - removes *any*
positive statuses, Auto-Life included - can only be used if all three Sisters
are present in battle and their Overdrives are full
18. Monster strategy:
RAA: Deathproof, Auto-Haste, Ribbon, Auto-Protect, Auto-Shell
RWA: Break Damage Limit, First Strike
Here's what you absolutely need if you want to have a chance against Mindy.
You'll need Deathproof to avoid being KO-ed cos of Passado. Your HP doesn't
need to exceed 9999. To negate Mega-Graviton's nasty side effects, you will
need either Ribbon for complete protection or at least Sleepproof. Set
Overdrive mode to Comrade.
Let's discuss Mindy's attacks a bit:
- Passado does about 12000 damage to one and incurs KO; unless Deathproofed,
chr attacked is KO-ed; damage done cannot be halved in any way
- Calamity incurs Full Break, Curse, Silence, Darkness and Poison; all of this
is manageable, but cure *Poison* first, then Breaks (with Dispel, remember?);
luckily it targets only one chr
- Mega-Graviton is used when Mindy's Ov. bar is full; you *must* have your HP
over half or else you'll be killed, as damage done is based on MAX HP; you will
also receive all sorts of bad stuff, Doom and Sleep being the worst; have at
least Sleepproof in your armor
- Delta Attack ain't used, as there's only one sis to deal with
As battle starts (may get ambushed), first thing to do is... nothing. Don't
bother with Auto-Life except in one condition I'll mention later. Because of
Deathproof you won't lose any chrs, unless the damage Passado is doing exceeds
MAX HP of chr that got attacked. Revive fallen Passado-ed chrs with Full-Life
magic in case MAX HP exceeds 9999! Use Phoenix items in case MAX HP is 9999.
Use Quick Hits or Doublecasted Flares and Ultimas if you can't hit Mindy
efficiently. When her Ov. bar gets full, she'll use Mega-Graviton on her next
turn, so prepare accordingly. Make sure your HP is below 33% MAX HP (Doublecast
Demis on yourself or use Dark Matter on yourself, just make sure you knock
everyone's health under that limit) or 20% MAX HP (this is in case you have
Auto-Shell armor). Cast Auto-Life on all three. If you still have available
turns, attack her. Once Mega-Graviton strikes, everyone dies, but will then be
revived thanks to Auto-Life. Mindy may still get a turn before your first chr
is able to act, but Mindy's attacks only target one, so this is the most you'll
lose.
Final result? One chr dead (or none, if she used Calamity), two (or three) chrs
alive and ready to act, *no* bad statuses whatsoever (except if Calamity was
used), Mindy waiting for her input. First chr that gets to act revives fallen
one (or heals the Calamity-ed chr of bad statuses), the other Quick Pockets few
Megalixirs and here we go. Fighting conditions restored to maximum and it's ass
kicking time.
Additional strategy in case you can't hit often with physical attacks:
- Blitz Ace and/or Attack Reels. Overdrive attacks do not miss, regardless of
Luck and Evade of the enemy. Once Tidus or Wakka used their Overdrives, Entrust
either one with Overdrive bars from fellow party members. Comrade Overdrive

18. Monster strategy:
RAA: Auto-Haste, Ribbon, Auto-Protect, Auto-Shell
RWA: Break Damage Limit, Counter-Attack, First Strike
Here's what you absolutely need if you want to have a chance against Cindy.
Your HP doesn't need to exceed 9999 (in which case you'll need Auto-Protect).
To negate Mega-Graviton's nasty side effects, you will need either Ribbon for
complete protection or at least Sleepproof. Set Overdrive mode to Comrade.
Let's discuss Cindy's attacks a bit:
- 'Bash' deals about 12000 damage to one and removes *any* positive statuses,
Auto-Life included; survive it with Auto-Protect
- Camisade strikes one chr for about 60000 damage and has Osmose effect; halve
the damage with Protect
- Mega-Graviton is used when Cindy's Ov. bar is full; you *must* have your HP
over half or else you'll be killed, as damage done is based on MAX HP; you will
also receive all sorts of bad stuff, Doom and Sleep being the worst; have at
least Sleepproof in your armor
- Delta Attack ain't used, as there's only one sis to deal with
As battle starts (may get ambushed), don't bother with positive statuses except
those you have put in your armor. Also don't bother with Auto-Life except in
one condition I'll mention later. If Camisade-d, revive the chr with Full-Life
magic in case MAX HP exceeds 9999! Use Phoenix items in case MAX HP is 9999.
Use Quick Hits or Doublecasted Flares and Ultimas if you can't hit Cindy

efficiently. When her Ov. bar gets full, she'll use Mega-Graviton on her next
turn, so prepare accordingly. Make sure your HP is below 33% MAX HP (Doublecast
Demis on yourself or use Dark Matter on yourself, just make sure you knock
everyone's health under that limit) or 20% MAX HP (this is in case you have

effect - is only used when Anima's Overdrive is full - removes all positive
statuses from your chrs (except Auto-Life)
18. Monster strategy:
[Dark Anima pic available at following URL:
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/dark_anima.jpg]

RAA: Stoneproof, Auto-Haste, Ribbon, Auto-Shell


RWA: Break Damage Limit, Counter-Attack, First Strike
Here's what you absolutely need if you want to have a chance against Anima.
Your HP doesn't need to exceed 9999. To negate Mega-Graviton's nasty side
effects, you will need either Ribbon for complete protection or at least
Sleepproof. You also need Stoneproof (or Ribbon) to avoid being petrified. Set
Overdrive mode to Comrade.
Let's discuss Anima's attacks a bit:
- Pain will 100% guaranteed KO one chr, nuffin you can do about that
- 'Bash' deals about 4000 damage to one chr; its most dangerous side effect is
Petrify, other three are manageable; if not Stoneproofed, chr is shattered
regardless of HP; can be halved with Protect
- Mega-Graviton is used on regular turns; you *must* have your HP over half or
else you'll be killed, as damage done is based on MAX HP; you will also receive
all sorts of bad stuff, Doom and Sleep being the worst; have at least
Sleepproof in your armor; Auto-Shell will reduce damage done
- Oblivion deals about 85000 damage to all, removes all positive statuses (sans
Auto-Life) and has Osmose effect
As battle starts (may get ambushed), don't bother with positive statuses except
those you have put in your armor. Don't bother with Auto-Life except in one
condition mentioned later. If Pain-ed, revive the chr with Full-Life magic in
case MAX HP exceeds 9999! Use Phoenix items in case MAX HP is 9999. Use Quick
Hits. If you can't hit Anima, you're screwed unless your Overdrives are
powerful. What about magic? Anima is immune to all magic. When her Ov. bar gets
full, she'll use Oblivion on her next turn, so prepare like this: summon aeon
to take the cake, but most likely you will run out of aeons in case you aren't
able to do at least 1000000 damage to it between each Oblivion. You stand a
chance against Oblivion only in following cases: you have more than 93000 HP
*or* your Agi is 255, you have Auto-Haste in the armor and you know Auto-Life.
In first case resume the fighting normally. In second case you'll be out of MP
for some Quick Pockets, but you *will* have a chr available to pull out
Megalixir by Item command fast enough for others to have MP available for Quick
Pockets. Then resume the fighting normally with Quick Hits or Overdrives.
Additional strategy in case you can't hit often with physical attacks:
- Blitz Ace and/or Attack Reels. Overdrive attacks do not miss, regardless of
Luck and Evade of the enemy. Once Tidus or Wakka used their Overdrives, Entrust
either one with Overdrive bars from fellow party members. Comrade Overdrive

PENANCE BOSS STRATEGIES
***********************
[Penance pic available at following URL:
http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/penance_bastard.jpg]
Kudos to Anothergamer for this extremely useful tip. There's one ability called
Cheer. It is of utmost importance against Penance. By using Cheer five times
from start of the battle not only does it increase party's Str, but it also
increases party's Def, regardless of the fact that your chrs already have 255
Def. With this information whole new area of possibilities is opened. And also
some new discoveries were made.
A character at 255 Def and 5x Cheered takes about 7500-8000 damage from
Obliteration and 9000-9800 damage from Immolation. Arm's physical attacks,
sadly, may still kill you (unless defending), as they deal over 10000 damage.
But with help of my detailed strategy above, you shouldn't worry about being
killed by arms, as you'll never see an attack from them.
Additionally this enables your chrs to drop Break HP Limit ability from armor
and integrate something else of your choice.
More... FFX gameplay board gave another big tip on this battle. In last empty
slot in your armor integrate Def+20% armor ability. Surprisingly enough, it
still adds defence value, even though your defence is already maxed!
A - BOSS PREPARATIONS
Presenting the easiest and the ultimate strategy you've ever seen on Penance.
No longer does one need to suffer cos of Penance wiping the floor with his/her
party... No, this time you *will* wipe the floor with his ass.
a) For starters let's talk about what your stats should be:
- HP of 9999
- MP doesn't matter
- Str and Def at 255
- Mag doesn't matter
- Mdef at 255 (but for my strategy it doesn't matter)
- Agi and Acc at 255
- Luck at about 150 (trust me, you need high luck, else you'll hardly hit it)
- Eva doesn't matter (even at 255 Luck and 255 Eva I still got hit)
b) Next, what should your weapons be:
- Celestial weapons for every character you'll be using
- I recommend using weapons that are easiest to power up fully: Yuna, Auron and
Rikku
c) Next, what should your armor contain:
For this strategy -> Auto-Protect, Auto-Haste, Auto-Potion, Def+20%
d) Next, what abilities you must have:
- Quick Hit, Quick Pockets, Dispel, Use
e) Lastly, what items you will need:

- Potion, Hi-Potion, X-Potion, Three Stars, Purifying Salt


Once you have all that, talk to Cid on airship. Choose 'List' and Penance is
now available as a destination. Pick it, watch the scene and the easiest (or
most boring IMO) battle begins.
Rule 1: You want to have Auto-Protect on, as Penance's attacks are physicals.
Rule 2: About dying... you'll never even have to use any reviving at all. This
strat is 100% dying free.
Rule 3: Never let any of boss' parts get an attack in with any of your
characters being under Break statuses. With this strategy all attacks you'll
ever see are Obliteration and Immolation. Only rule to oblige by is to use
Dispel immediately after Penance's Immolation.
Rule 4: Only attack Penance if both arms are gone. Always give priority to
destroying the arms and not letting them get an attack in.
B - BOSS MOVES OVERVIEW
- Penance will for first half of battle only use Obliteration (11000 of
physical damage to all and Slow effect, which is negated cos of Auto-Haste),
regardless of fact if he has zero, one or both arms; once 25% of his HP is
knocked off, Penance loses lower half of body and also loses Auto-Protect
status
- in second part Penance switches to Immolation (15000 of physical damage to
one with Armor and Mental Breaks); in case both arms are present, it may use
Judgment Day (99999 damage to all, doesn't remove Auto-Life)
- Right Arm uses Mighty Guard (Dispel Penance first!), Calamity (use Dispel on
chr affected ASAP) or Bash (19000 of physical damage to one, Petrify effect)
- Left Arm uses Mega-Graviton (takes off 75% of MAX HP (or 37,5% if under
Shell)), and some nasty status side effects), Slowga (negated by Auto-Haste) or
'Bash' (18000 of physical damage to one, removes *any* positive status on
character attacked, unless integrated in his/her armor)
Note: Damage written is damage done to Protected and Shelled characters.
C - RECOMMENDED CHARACTERS TO BE USED
Rikku (Trio of 9999), any of the guys (all of their celestial weapons have
either Counter-Attack or Evade&Counter - useful ability for second part of
battle)
D - FIRST HALF BATTLE STRATEGY
These are the only commands you'll ever use in this battle: Cheer x5, Mix 1x,
Quick Pockets 1x, Quick Hit most of the time and occassionally Dispel. I used
Rikku, Tidus and Yuna, therefore what you're about to read is how the battle
went using these three characters.
As the battle starts, you will have 6 (most likely) or 7 (rarely) turns before
Penance gets first attack in.
Use Quick Hit (QH from now on) against Left Arm (LA from now on) until it dies.
Then use three QH against RA until Penance uses Obliteration (OBL from now on).
Don't waste time healing yet! You will survive OBL, as it will deal about 9000
damage to all. QH vs RA three more times until it dies - you'll kill it just
before its turn. 5 turns still left before second OBL. Now let's take care of
business for these five turns. Tidus and Yuna use Cheer, Rikku Mixes Trio of
9999, either Tidus and Yuna Quick Pocket Mega-Potion, and finally third Cheer
before second OBL.
It is possible you'll get in another turn cos of previous quickly pocketed
Mega-Potion - use it for Cheer. OBL strikes for second time. This time you chrs
will automatically heal themselves to full thanks to Auto-Potion and Trio
combination. What else is left to be done? Use Cheer one or two more times (5
times is max - you can continue on using it, but it's useless, as it doesn't

add anymore defence value), then Use Three Stars (nullifies need for MP) and
from now on all you have to do in first part of battle is using Quick Hits and
killing off arms as soon as they appear.
If you followed my advice closely, you'll see that you'll never have both arms
present in battle. This is to ensure that Penance will never have favorable
conditions in second part of battle to be able to use Judgement Day. In no more
than 12 OBL lower part of Penance will fall off.
BTW, here's a brief info on damage you'll receive with 255 Def, Auto-Protected,
5x Cheered and Def+20% armor abilitied chr:
Immolation deals from 8000 to 8500 damage to one (in addition to reducing MP to
zero). Arm strikes for 9000 damage (just an useful piece of info, you'll never
see arm attack anyway). Obliteration does 5900 damage to all.
E - SECOND HALF BATTLE STRATEGY
We arrive in second halftime. First character that gets to act Uses Purifying
Salt on Penance to dispel his Haste status. Main thing is not to worry of
getting killed by Immolation, simply cos you can't get killed by it. Keep using
same strategy as you did for first part of battle except with one minor
difference. You'll need to cast Dispel on chr that gets Immolated to remove
Armor and Mental Breaks. Anything else is still the same. Characters will heal
themselves thanks to Auto-Potion, Quick Hitting right targets and dispeling is
*all* you'll have to do.
Good-DIE, Penance!:)
You simply cannot fail with this strategy. Once again this couldn't have been
possible if Anothergamer didn't share the info on usefulness of Cheer.
There. This is everything I compiled together about Penance. I'm absolutely
sure it'll bring you victory without a single character dying once (in case you
won't be playing roulettes with Immolation, anyway:)).
*************************
STRATEGY FOR BHPL PLAYERS
*************************
A - BOSS PREPARATIONS
a) For starters let's talk about what your stats should be:
- HP of at least 20000 (it is important you have at least that much HP for this
strategy)
Note: Personally I had 52000 HP for every chr I used, I had those HP from a
previous battle, whose strategy you may read close to this one. I didn't need
to heal once personally during whole battle, Auto-Potion took care of it.
- MP doesn't matter:)
- Str and Def at 255
- Mag doesn't matter
- Mdef at 255 (but for my strategy it doesn't matter)
- Agi and Acc at 255
- Luck at about 150 (trust me, you need high luck, else you'll hardly hit it)
- Eva doesn't matter (even at 255 Luck and 255 Eva I still got hit)
b) Next, what should your weapons be:
- three custom made weapons for three starting characters, those weapons
consisting of First Strike and Break Damage Limit abilities
- Celestial weapons for every character you'll be using
- I recommend using weapons that are easiest to power up fully: Yuna, Auron and
Rikku
c) Next, what should your armor contain:
For this strategy -> Auto-Protect, Auto-Haste, Break HP Limit, Auto-Potion

d) Next, what abilities you must have:


- Quick Hit, Quick Pockets, Dispel, Use
e) Lastly, what items you will need:
- Potion, Hi-Potion, X-Potion, Three Stars, Megalixir, Purifying Salt
Once you have all that, talk to Cid on airship. Choose 'List' and Penance is
now available as a destination. Pick it, watch the scene and the easiest (or
most boring IMO) battle begins.
Rule 1: You want to have Auto-Protect on, as Penance's attacks are physicals.
Rule 2: Never use Auto-Life or Auto-Phoenix armor ability... Hah, you'll never
even have to use any reviving at all. This strat is 100% dying free.
Rule 3: Never let any of boss' parts get an attack in with any of your
characters being under Break statuses. With this strategy all attacks you'll
ever see are Obliteration and Immolation. Only rule to oblige by is to use
Dispel immediately after Penance's Immolation.
Rule 4: First you'll need to get rid of Left Arm ASAP.
Rule 5: Only attack Penance if both arms are gone. Always give priority to
destroying the arms and not letting them get an attack in.
Rule 6: When (mostly *if* it manages) Right Arm casts Mighty Guard, Dispel
Penance *first*. Regen effect Mighty Guard carries may restore up to 200000 HP
to Penance!
Rule 7: Equip First Strike weapons prior to battle. At 255 Str and sufficient
Luck these weapons can deal up to 99999 damage to both arms. Don't attack the
body with those... you'll only tear off 25000 or so.
B - RECOMMENDED CHARACTERS TO BE USED
Rikku (Trio of 9999), any of the guys (all of their celestial weapons have
either Counter-Attack or Evade&Counter - useful ability for second part of
battle)
C - FIRST HALF BATTLE STRATEGY
First step to assured victory is to never let any of Penance's arms to get an
attack. In this strategy you'll never see one except for Penance's.
I used Rikku, Tidus and Yuna, therefore what you're about to read is how the
battle went using these three characters.
As the battle starts, check the CTB bar. Thanks to First Strike custom weapons
you will have 9 turns (as you may know, the game counts turns as if every chr
or fiend would choose Attack command next) before Penance gets first attack in.
This is the big difference from a previous strategy - more turns available
before Penance can even act. Tidus, Yuna and Rikku all had 3 turns (starting
with Tidus).
Use Quick Hit (QH from now on) two times against Left Arm (LA from now on). 7
turns left. Rikku is up next. Mix Trio of 9999 now! 5 turns left. Rikku'll get
next turn right before first Penance's. Use QH four more times (2x Tidus and 2x
Yuna) until LA is gone. This will get you still three more turns (each of those
being QH) before first Penance's. QH Right Arm (RA from now on) three times.
Penance uses Obliteration (OBL from now on). All chrs lose 11000 HP. If this
brings them in yellow HP, Auto-Potion will kick in - Potion will be used and
will restore 9999 damage to one (thanks to Trio we mixed before), raising
his/her HP back into white range. Note that healing for the whole fight will
mostly be taken care of by Auto-Potion. You yourself may need to heal only in
following two situations:
-> Danger 1: Any of your characters has 11500 or less HP before next OBL. Last
chr that gets to act before Penance, Quick Pockets (QP from now on) MegaPotion.
-> Danger 2: In second part of battle if any of your chrs has 16000 or less HP
before next Immolation. Last and second-to-last chr that get to act before
Penance, QP X-Potion or Mega-Potion.

Okay, first OBL is away and Penance is without LA. You now have three turns
available before first RA's. Use QH three times against RA and it's gone. Three
turns left before second Penance's. Tidus now Uses Three Stars. Yuna and Rikku
switch to celestial weapons (in that order). Yuna, Rikku and Tidus will still
get a turn before Penance. Yuna and Rikku use QH, and Tidus switches to
Caladbolg (in case one chr packs less than 11500 HP, Quick Pocket Mega-Potion
first!). Next is second OBL. Don't worry yet, as Auto-Potion will take care of
negating the damage. Regardless of Tidus' previous input, he will get first
turn after second OBL. Right now LA will regenerate.
Check CTB bar. You have whole 9 moves before third OBL. And you're more or less
set as well!
Use QH against LA six times to re-kill it. As soon as that is done, RA
regenerates. Three turns left before third OBL and ten turns before RA's move
(according to CTB bar). QH vs RA three times, OBL is used. With my 50000+ HP
this OBL was first that caused my chrs to use Auto-Potion. Check CTB bar again.
Still nine attacks left before RA gets a move. QH vs RA three times, RA dies.
Six attacks left before fourth OBL. Use all of these to launch QH vs Penance.
Right before fourth OBL LA will regenerate, then follows OBL.
Nine turns before both Penance's and LA's next move. More than enough. QH vs LA
six times and it's killed. RA regenerates. Three turns left before Penance's
turn and nine turns before RA's. QH vs RA three times. Fifth OBL. QK vs RA
three more times to kill it again...
Basically it's now like this: As you don't need to heal (except in two cases
mentioned a little bit above), all of your job is Using QH against either arm
as soon as it reappears. Once the arm is disposed off, QH Penance himself until
the other arm regenerates. QH that arm until it re-dies, QH Penance, the other
arm regenerates... ad infinitum. I guarantee you'll never see any of arms
attack. Only thing to remember is that you need to throw a look at HP just
before OBL. If HP of one chr is 11500 or less, QP Mega-Potion. Continue to use
this strategy until 3000000 of Penance's HP are knocked off, at which point...
Note: For my strategy I saw 11 Obliterations before lower half fell off.
D - SECOND HALF BATTLE STRATEGY
we arrive in second halftime. If my strategy was successful for you, Rikku will
have just a turn left before Penance's next turn, which will be Immolation (IMM
from now on). Have her QP Mega-Potion. Another turn available! LA regenerates.
On Rikku's turn (last before Penance's) use Purifying Salt on Penance. Why?
He's in Haste mode now (see CTB bar?), so we need to dispel it. Purifying Salt
will take care of that, as well as dealing some damage to him. First IMM. One
chr takes 15000 damage and Auto-Potions him/herself. First turn any character
gets now he/she uses Dispel on chr that got IMM-ed (in my case Tidus was first
one available).
Seven turns left before LA's turn. It'll get a bit tricky now, but don't worry,
I have it covered. QH vs LA three times. RA regenerates. Don't panic, we'll
kill both of them soon enough. QH vs LA three more times. It's gone. Two turns
left before second IMM and eight turns left before RA's. Tidus now uses
Sentinel! Yep, Sentinel can intercept IMM. Tidus will in this case get 75% less
damage, counter-attack and heal himself for 2500 HP more than IMM dealt damage
to him. So, now we even start gaining health.:) QH vs RA once. Second IMM. Six
turns left before RA's. First chr uses Dispel on Tidus (Yuna in my case). Now
QH RA 5 more times. You'll kill it just before its turn. Phew. Three turns left
before Penance's. QH vs Penance two times, Sentinel with Tidus. Third IMM.
Tidus takes the cake, counters and heals for +2500 HP. LA regenerates. Six
turns before Penance's. Yuna uses Dispel now. Use QH vs RA four times. Three
turns left before fourth IMM. Tidus, Rikku and Yuna in that order. Tidus uses
Sentinel, and Rikku and Yuna QH vs LA two more times to kill it. Fourth IMM.
You know what happens already. Six turns before fifth IMM. RA regenerates.
Tidus uses Dispel on himself. Six QH vs RA and it dies. Two turns left before
Penance's. Tidus and Yuna are the ones still available. Tidus uses Sentinel,

Yuna QH vs Penance once. Fifth IMM. Six turns left before sixth IMM. Rikku uses
Dispel on Tidus, Yuna QH vs Penance once. And so on...
The above is 100% sure way you'll never die, but also slow. You may want to
employ different strategy for this battle as outlined below.
The battle starts with Rikku and two guys. In first half hack away as outlined
above in part D. When in second half of battle, switch Rikku out for a third
guy, but only after 'Purifying Salt phase'.
Strategy is pretty much the same, except that you don't use Sentinel as
character attacked will counter anyway. Also damage dealt will be 15000, so you
may need to issue a QP-ed Mega-Potion or Megalixir (in case QP-ing is done by
lastly added guy). Don't forget to Use Twin Stars on last guy as well to
nullify need for MP.
This is a bit faster way, as QP are fast and reliable soruce of restoring HP.
Only bit more time consuming action will be Dispel you'll need to use after
each IMM immediately.
*****************************************************************************
Justaplayer, a fellow gamer from FFX gameplay board, has allowed me to use the
info he wrote down about beating Penance with base luck.
... I know this is not much of a big deal, but it might prove useful for those
who would like to try to avoid the Greater Sphere battles and the Earth Eater
battles, although there is still the Maelspike bribing way, but you need to get
Fortune Spheres for the first activation.
First, it is possible to defeat the dark aeons this way. As you know, there is
no problem with the first four, and as long as you have 255 Accuracy you can
handle Dark Anima and Dark Bahamut, as long as Dark Magus Sisters because Cindy
has low luck and evasion stats. The same goes to Dark Yojimbo, because four
Wakka's Reels should kill him. But I'm sure you knew all that already, it is
nothing new.
What you might not know is that via this method of overusing Tidus' Blitz Ace
and Wakka's Attack Reels you can defeat Penance too. Well, let's take you have
Auto-Potion, Auto-Haste, Def+20% and Auto-Protect. Also, you use Cheer five
times, and Trio of 9999. That's what the strategy states. From there on, by
just don't letting the arms attacks via Quick Hits you defeat Penance.
But what if you don't have enough luck and therefore you can't hit the arms?
Then this is the solution: one must use just Rikku, Wakka, and Tidus for this
battle. Have in mind that this is how I did it the other day, so it's proven it
can work.
Wakka's Attack Reels hit an arm for 46000 damage or such, with 255 Strength.
that makes a total of about 200000 on average if both arms are present and
300000 on average if only one is. Tidus' Blitz Ace makes eight hits of 12000
damage more or less and the final one of 99999. In the end this makes about
200000.
Arms have 500000 HP, hardly beatable with just one Blitz Ace and one Attack
Reels, which will be our goal. The way to surely do it is by increasing Tidus
damage to 300000, which can be done via one of Rikkus overdrives, which causes
every hit to be a critical hit. This is Miracle Drink.
Secondly, overdrives must be in Comrade mode, and we must get sure that each
Penance attack will fill them, even when they are 5x cheered. That can be done
by using the overdrives Eccentric and Hot Spurs. I don't know if they're
cumulative, so I used both in first part of the battle.
Once the second part of the battle comes, things get a bit harder because just
one character is attacked. However, the overdrive bars of the other two
characters will get full with each Penance attack still.
If the attacked character is Rikku, we just need to use Wakka's and Tidus'
overdrives against the arm, and Dispel rikku, of course, because of the break

statuses. And if the attacked character is Tidus or Wakka, he will get Rikku's
bar that will be filled.
However it is important to time things so that Penance doesn't attack in second
part of the battle when one of the overdrive bars is still full, because we
need almost all of the overdrives possible and wasting one is not what we want.
I know all this is not much of a big deal, because it's just a variant of a
strategy already known, but I thought I would share this with you because I
read some times that it is needed to have high luck levels, and with this
strategy it is not... Just be careful not to stop Tidus' and Wakka's overdrive
wrong.
If you would like to know, in my case Penance died after 39 arms died too, by
being hit by Wakka's turbos and all the possible quick hits to Penance, since
he has not so much luck levels as the arms do.

=============================================================================
=============================================================================
36.) STANDARD SG STAT MAXING ---> A839
=============================================================================
=============================================================================
**********************************
PREHISTORIC PART, AKA INTRODUCTION
**********************************
Q - Why should I bother?
A - Want to have a prolonged fun with your FFX? Then statistic maxing is one of
the ways for you. By the end of the game your chrs' stats will be in ranges
from 80-100. But the max value a certain stat can reach are:
- for HP 99999
- for MP 9999
- for Str, Def, Mag, Mdef, Agi, Eva, Acc and Luck 255
Q - How to get that high stats, when there's not enough nodes on SG and you
don't even get enough Spheres to fill up empty nodes?
A - Your answer lies in Monster Arena, which serves this purpose. By meeting
some requirements you can fight some strong enemies, which when defeated drop
powerful equipment and spheres that can be used to fill up empty nodes. You can
activate those nodes later and start increasing your stats.
Q - How will you teach me to stat max?
A - Unlike other stat maxing guides, I'll be taking different approach. I've
counted number of empty nodes (including Lock nodes that become empty nodes
when removed) on Standard SG in PAL version. The number is 268 empty nodes.
I've also spent some time to activate any and all nodes on SG with Tidus as a
test chr, noting down his stats at start and end of the process, calculating
the difference. These two pieces of informations combined allowed me to come up
with a stat maxing guide, that will in the end let your chrs have max stats
without ever using Clear Spheres. Yep, you read correctly. You WILL NOT have to
be bothered by capturing five of each fiend in order to be able to buy Clear
Spheres. I have also taken into account you haven't captured anything yet, you
don't have any celestial weapons, and what I think is most important - I have
written stat maxing guide without Yuna's help. Why? It is a fact that her
Nirvana, Moon Crest and Moon Sigil are easy to get, but what if you forgot
Destruction Sp. in Besaid and Macalania temple? Or in both? Then you have a
certain dark problem. And my guide helps you build max stats with that problem
taken into account. Anything and everything you'll need to know has beed
covered in first half of stat maxing guide, going all the way down to Step 21.

Q - Will I even need Clear Spheres then?


A - If you want neatly organized SG, then yes. But I start using them after I
cover SG using the first half of guide. Stat maxing guide using the help of
Clear Spheres will be done from Step 22 onward until the final step.
Q - I have NTSC version of the game. Will this stat maxing guide be useful for
me as well?
A - There are few differences you need to be aware of. For first: according to
few sources NTSC Sphere Grid has 828 nodes in total. For second: Following
first difference it is entirely possible that the amount of specific nodes is
different between NTSC and PAL (for example, while PAL has five STR +3 nodes on
SG, NTSC might have seven STR +3 nodes; note that I'm only guessing the amount
of STR nodes). Other than that, the rest of the information provided in this
section will be useful in your efforts to stat max.
Q - Shall we start?
A - Patiently. In order to be able to fight monsters that drop aforementioned
items, some preparations need to be done. With this, let us begin.
******************************************
PREPARATIONS FOR STAT MAXIMIZATION PROCESS
******************************************
---> Info corner 1 <--I'll assume you're using the ordinary Sphere Grid (SG in further notes). It is
useful to know the following info about this SG...
Total number of nodes - 860
Total number of ability nodes - 85
Total number of nodes we can mess around with - 775
Wheee, lots of work ahead? Your final dream is to have entire SG covered with
+300 HP, +40 MP (these aren't so much needed) and +4 the-rest-of-the-stats
nodes.
---> Info corner 2 <--Chr's ultimate weapons, in this game known as Celestial weapons, will be
mightily useful. Listed in Info corner 3 below are:
- what to do first to obtain means of getting celestial weapons
- chr's best weapons, where to get them and where to get upgrades for those
weapons
- finally, my evaluation of best weapons
---> Info corner 3 <--*Obtaining the means*
Go to extreme north end of Calm Lands. Find a lady on a chocobo there. Talk to
her and tell her you would like to train a chocobo. Win at least first course.
Then quit. Talk to chocobo lady again and say you want to ride one. Take this
chocobo to southeastern part of Calm Lands and look for chocobo feather on the
ground. Press X above it. Dismount and exit to your right. You're at Remiem
temple. Mount the chocobo you'll see on the right. Win and you get Cloudy
Mirror.
Now go to Macalania Forest (enter it from Thunder Plains side). Look for a
shiny path. Near it are a child and a woman. They're missing their
father/husband. You can find him on the screen where your party used to rest
once before. Talk to him and he'll go away. Return to happy family... or is it?
Talk to them and they'll say that their child is missing. Now climb the shiny
path and on your way you'll run into that kid. Talk to him and he'll go away.
Approach the big sphere-like thingey behind him. You've got Celestial Mirror.
*Obtaining the weapons*
Caladbolg for Tidus

You must complete all training courses chocobo lady offers you. Then challenge
her to a race and win. Doing this will attract the guard that was 'guarding' a
small path leading down on extreme north of Calm Lands. Go down that path and
examine the insignia on the wall. Caladbolg is yours. Sun Crest can be found in
the room where you fought Y. woman. If you didn't get chest straight after
defeating her, Dark Bahamut stands in your way. For Sun Sigil you must win the
race with time *faster* then 0.0.0.
World Champion for Wakka
Win a couple of Blitzball games (8 or so should be enough). When you have the
airship, go to the bar where Kimahri picked a fight with Ronsos before. Talk to
the bartender and you'll get this weapon. If she says something like being even
better, win some more blitz games. After that you should get the weapon. You
get Jupiter Crest in Aurochs' locker room. Examine the lockers. One of them is
hiding the crest. Sigil will appear as a league prize once you've obtained all
overdrives for Wakka and he has appeared in at least 450 battles against
fiends.
Masamune for Auron
First item you'll need is Rusty Sword. Go to entrance of Cavern of the Stolen
Fayth. On this screen go right and up. At the end of the path you'll find Rusty
Sword. Now return to airship and pick Djose Highroad destination. On this
screen now go thru southwest exit and you'll appear in Mushroom Rock. Follow
the path (you'll know you're going right if you'll run into 4x Soft chest on
the way) and take first left you'll come across. Activate the stone lift by
pressing X. Examine the statue and choose Yes when prompted. Approach the sign
that appeared and Masamune is yours. For Mars Crest go to the place where S.
convinced few guards to let you thru the barricade. There's a path leading down
and right. Enter it and you'll be on Oldroad. Go all the way to the end and
you'll find Mars Crest in the chest. For Sigil you need to unlock
combined total of 10 Species and/or Area Creations.
Spirit Lance for Kimahri
Go to Thunder Plains. See those strange stones that glow sometimes? Approach
one of them (three in total) and press Square in front of it when it's glowing.
Do this three times and Qactuars will now be fightable. Now go to southern
Thunder Plains. Hug the right until you see a broken pillar of sorts. You'll
see a ghost of Qactuar (it's been said that following this ghost is useless and
I concur:)). Examine this 'pillar' with Square and Spirit Lance is yours.
Saturn Crest you need to go to Mount Gagazet where you fought Flux for third
time. Remember a bunch of pillars in the canyon not far from this battle point?
Between one of them is a chest with crest inside. And for Sigil... In Macalania
woods you'll need to complete both butterly mini-games. Do it successfully and
when you open the chest of second butterfly game completed you'll obtain the
sigil.
Nirvana for Yuna
Capture at least one of every fiend in Calm Lands. Open the chest that will
appear in front of Manager once you talk to him after that point. Moon Crest is
found at Besaid Beach - there's a small beach with chest. For Sigil you need to
defeat all of Belgemine's aeons in Remiem Temple and then choose to 'defeat'
her.
Onion Knight for Lulu
Go to Baaj Temple. After Geosgaeno is gone, examine the same room you fought
in. Somewhere hardly accessible (it may be just me) is a chest with Onion
Knight inside. For Venus Crest enter the Farplane. Venus Crest can be found
here. Note that it *isn't* there on your first visit to Farplane! And for Sigil
you have to dodge 200 lightning bolts consecutively. You cannot save inbetween
or seek shelter beneath rod towers. After you dodged 200 of them, chest in

front of Agency will contain the sigil.


Godhand for Rikku
Input GODHAND as a password when you have control of the airship. Then go to
that destination. At the end of the path is chest with this weapon. For Mercury
Crest you need to visit western part of Sanubia Desert - look in the chest on
one of sandpits. And for Sigil you must complete Cactuar sidequest in Sanubia
Desert. One of chests now accessible in the valley of the sandstorms houses the
sigil.
Quick reference:
- Tomay is near the oasis
- Rovivea can be found running around in east Sanubia desert in westernmost
dead end
- Chava? In same part of desert where Cactuar stone is find sign with '20%
off' stuff on it and examine it
- Alek and Aloja are in Central Sanubia desert in the part of it where there
are lots of ruins
- Vachella is in east Sanubia desert - examine save sphere here and...
- Robeya is in central desert's westernmost treasure chest
- Isrra? Make sure you *leave* this screen and come back - Isrra can now be
found in one of the holes
- Elio? Go to Oasis, then up on airship and then head for the place where you
fought Evrae for first time
- Flaile doesn't need to be found
*Evaluation*
- Tidus: weapon easy to get, but crest and sigil are entirely different story;
for crest you need to waste Dark Bahamut, and for sigil you have to win the
race with time faster than 0.0.0 - 6TH TOP PICK
- Wakka: weapon moderately easy to get, crest easy to get, sigil extremely
annoying and bothersome (especially when you keep resetting for n-teenth time
to get sigil to appear as the prize) - 7TH TOP PICK
- Auron: weapon easy to get, as is the crest... sigil needs a bit of work to be
done, but nothing annoying (first 11 areas [I excluded Sunken Cave cos of hardto-encounter Tonberry] with at least one of each fiend that appears there
captured will give you the sigil) - 2ND TOP PICK
- Kimahri: weapon and crest are easy to get, and sigil needs a bit of butterfly
hunting to be done; after you try for about an hour, you'll memorize the path
of little flying bastards so well that you'll surely succeed eventually (I'm
talking from personal experience - I haven't layed hands on butterfly catching
until I was collecting best weapons... after about hour or so I got my Saturn
sigil) - 3RD TOP PICK
- Rikku: weapon and crest are easy to get, and you don't have to do anything
difficult to get sigil - 1ST TOP PICK
- Yuna: weapon and crest are easy to get, and sigil can be obtained quite
easily; remember that you can summon multiple aeons against you-know-who's in
order to defeat them; there can be a stopper in getting Yuna's sigil in case
you forget to get Destruction Sp. treasures in all temples you've visited on
your journey; this stopper can appear in shapes of dark aeons, specifically
Dark Valefor and Dark Shiva - 4TH TOP PICK
- Lulu: weapon and crest are easy to get, but for sigil get ready with a lot of
nerves of steel - 5TH TOP PICK
*Your best party*
PAL players:
Party with which you're advised to undertake stat maxing quest is Rikku, Auron
and Kimahri - you will get their fully powered best weapons the soonest
(Kimahri's might take an hour or so). Use Yuna instead of Kimahri in case you
are able to get Anima and Magus Sisters, which means you got all Destruction
Sp. so far. Personally I used Auron, Rikku and Tidus (but Tidus only cos I got

his sigil before I got Kimahri's). Anyway, this stat maxing guide is done with
a thought that Yuna is unable to get Anima and Sisters.
NTSC players:
Definitely use Rikku, Auron and Yuna.
Before you start, I recommend getting Rikku's best weapon. With the help of
quick guide I provided it'll take you about an hour to get everything.
Kimahri's stuff will take you somewhere up to two hours. We'll take care of
Auron's on the way, but rest assured, you'll get your full-power Masamune
before stat maxing process begins for real.
I'll also take into the account the small chance in which you may have
forgotten to get Destruction Sp. chests in Macalania and Besaid temples, in
which case you have a certain tough boss in your way, also successfully nailing
you out for getting Anima and Magus Sisters.
And lastly, have the airship.:) Otherwise, almost all areas are accessible by
foot, but with airship it goes much faster. And now, stat maxing begins...
*********************************************************************
STEP 1 - LEARNING ABILITIES, GETTING DECENT STATS AND SOME GOOD ITEMS
*********************************************************************
Buy Capture weapons from Monster Arena manager for every character, doesn't
matter if you'll use them now, later or never. Customize those weapons with
First Strike weapon ability. First Strike is IMO very useful for all the fights
you're about to enter. You need Return Sp. for that. D'you have any left? If
not, don't fret, we'll get them in a minute. Manager will start crying that
he's missing all the monsters. Waaaah! Who wouldn't help the guy? Head into
Calm lands and start capturing monsters. You need at least one monster of
following: Skoll, Nebiros, Flame Flan, Shred, Anacondaur, Ogre, Coeurl, Chimera
Brain and Malboro. Rarer monsters (Malboro and Ogre) can be found a bit more
often in northwestern parts of Calm Lands. One of each shall raise
Chimerageist.
Now examine your items. If you still have any stat boosting spheres left from
your journey, use them on the grid now. They're a helpful starting boost to
your chrs. Don't bother with removing lock nodes if you don't have
corresponding lock spheres in your possession. You can get them, but that costs
money you don't currently have.
Save at nearby save sphere and venture into Calm Lands... make a trip (without
chocobo) to Rin's shop in Calm Lands. You're bound to capture few guys for the
arena. Save at save sphere near Rin's shop and start looking around the shop
itself. You'll encounter Malboro and Ogre sooner or later, just don't give up.
I recommend not forgetting to save every so often.
Okay, Chimerageist is opened. 1/10 of job for Auron's Mars sigil is done. Now
you need to defeat Chimerageist at least 3 times to get few precious Return Sp.
Quick copy and paste... Representation of Chimerageist's move order: Megiddo
Flame, Blizzara OR Thundara, 'Assault', Aqua Breath, repeat. First attack Geist
will use is completely random and cannot be predicted. However, once you see
what Geist has used, you're set for the remainder of battle. Megiddo Flame can
be nullified by Fireproof or better, Blizzara and Thundara can be reflected,
'assault' can be halved by Protect, and Aqua Breath nullified by Waterproof or
better.
In case Geist's too fast for you, (but he shouldn't really), use Yuna's help in
shape of aeons, which you can use to soften him up and then kill him. Do so
three times and you'll get 3 Return Sp. In case you get Dark Matter, reapply
fighting Geist until you get 3 Return Sp. Waste them by integrating them into
weapons for three chrs you'll be using. Right now it doesn't matter who you

will use, just choose your three favorites.


Done? Done! Board the airship and head for Besaid. Easy as pie! Capture one
Dingo, Condor and Water Flan to unlock Stratoavis (2/10 of Auron's sigil). If
you're going by this guide, right now you've also unlocked Earth Eater (which
is unlocked once you unlock *any* two area creation fiends).
Next destination is Kilika. Easy as pie again. Capture one Dinonix, Killer Bee,
Yellow Element and Ragora to unlock Malboro Menace (3/10 of Auron's sigil).
Now go to Mi'ihen Highroad... This is not hard, but will require bit more time
as you need to capture 8 fiends. Mi'ihen Fang, Ipiria, Floating Eye, White
Element, Raldo, Vouivre, Bomb and Dual Horn. One of each plastered unlocks
Kottos (4/10 of Auron's sigil).
Now for Mushroom Rock. One Raptor, Gandarewa, Thunder Flan, Red Element,
Lamashtu, Funguar and Garuda unlocks Coeurlregina (1/2 of Auron's sigil). For
Garuda you need to enter the screen called 'Mushroom Rock: Valley'. Garuda can
only be fought here.
Djose Highroad is next. Garm, Simurgh, Bite Bug, Snow Flan, Bunyip, Basilisk
and Ochu await your arrival. One of each unlocks Jormungand (6/10 of Auron's
sigil). Simurgh is most often found in the most northern part of Djose Highroad
near the sign that shows up as worldmap when examined. Right now you've
conquered 6 areas already. What does that mean? Catastrophe is unlocked at the
arena.
Thunder Plains are home of next fiends, one of each you need to capture:
Melusine, Aerouge, Buer, Gold Element, Kusariqqu, Larva, Iron Giant and
Qactuar. Combined they unlock Cactuar King (7/10 of Auron's sigil). Qactuars
can only be fought once you've prayed to at least one glowing Qactuar statue by
pressing Square button in front of it (three statues in total). Iron Giants can
be found in northern part of Thunder Plains.
Examine Macalania next. Find and capture one Snow Wolf, Iguion, Wasp, Evil Eye,
Ice Flan, Blue Element, Murussu, Mafdet, Xiphos and Chimera to unlock Espada
(8/10 of Auron's sigil).
Bikanel proves a bit tougher. One Sand Wolf, Alcyone and Mushussu are easy to
capture. Zu and Sand Worm on the other hand pack a huge amount of HP. Then
there's Cactuar, who has insane evasion (use someone with high Acc try to kill
it, also Provoke Cactuar so it doesn't run away). While you're here, I
recommend doing the Village of the Cactuars sidequest (if not done already for tips look a bit more up; alternatively, if you're bothered too much by
random encounters, wait a bit until we cover next area). In the end Abyss Worm
(9/10 of Auron's sigil) will be unlocked.
We already did Calm Lands, so let's move on.
Ah, Cavern of S. F. Yowie, Imp, Dark Element, Nidhogg, Thorn, Valaha, Epaaj,
Ghost (make deadly sure you capture one of these!!!) and Tonberry will in the
end unlock Don Tonberry (10/10 of Auron's sigil).
We have three areas left, but before we do them, let's return to the arena to
collect our prizes. Yes, yes, you can return to arena prior to that to collect
the goodies, but why bother? I recommend not wasting time going to and from,
but instead collect the stuff at once.
Talk to manager and he'll start heading over goodies:
- you've already received 60x Farplane Winds for unlocking Chimerageist

- for unlocking Stratoavis you get 99x Stamina Tonic


- for Earth Eater you get 60x Three Stars
- for Malboro Menace 99x Poison Fang
- for Kottos 99x Soul Spring
- for Coeurlregina 99x Candle of Life
- for Jormungand 99x Petrify Grenade
- for Catastrophe 99x Door to Tomorrow
- for Cactuar King 99x Chocobo Wing
- for Espada 60x Shining Gem
- for Abyss Worm 99x Shadow Gem
- for Don Tonberry 40x Silver Hourglass
- and Mars Sigil for Auron somewhere inbetween!!!
Don't modify anything just yet. We'll use the items we got later to create a
good armor. I forgot to mention that manager will let you take a first swing at
the fiend he created free of charge. I encourage you to at least take a go at
it, so you'll see what you will be up against.
Total result right now is 10 areas covered with at least one monster captured
(we left out Gagazet, I. Sin and O. Ruins), 2 Original cretins unlocked and 10
Area creations unlocked.
If you don't have Rikku's Godhand fully powered up yet, or you're troubled too
much by random encounters whilst looking for Cactuars, your next objective is
to get hold of No Encounter armor. You have two options: either you collect 30x
Purifying Salt, which is enough items to get one No Encounter armor, or you
fight Ghost in the arena (remember what I said before about capturing one
Ghost?). Purifying Salt is a rare steal from Fallen Monks in Z. Ruins, but I
advise against it. Much more advised way is to continuosly fight Ghost until he
spits out an armor with No Encounters. Saving beforehand is very good tip. If
you're worried about cash, no worries. If you're able to Overkill Ghost, you'll
get back as much gil as you payed in order to fight it. Sooner or later you'll
get that No Encounter armor. Once you do, equip it on whoever you got it for.
Wearer doesn't need to be in active party. Then get that sigil to maximise
Godhand's potential.
Second objective is to purchase weapons from Rin's shop in Thunder Plains. Pick
three fighters with high Str and buy weapons for them (two must know Provoke).
These weapons are four-slotted. They already come with Str+10% and Str+5% and
have two free slots. One slot will be used for First Strike (fight Chimerageist
for few of them). Leave the fourth slot empty for now. Go back to the arena.
Third objective is Cactuar you've captured. He gives 8000 AP when defeated and
12000 for an Overkill! I have an easy solution for this guy.;) Cactuar's Doom
count is set at 2 turns. And not long ago you received 99 Candles of Life.
Equip those First Strike weapons and pay 4000 gil (you get 1500 gil back when
Cactuar is defeated, or 3000 for Overkill, but fret not; Cactuar drops HP
Stroll and MP Stroll equipment often which can be sold for cash). Once you
enter the battle, you'll have three free turns, even if Cactuar ambushes you.
For these three turns you have you should do this: Use Candle of Life on
Cactuar, don't forget to Provoke Cactuar and try to slice it down with third
chr, hopefully getting an Overkill. In case you won't succeed in killing
Cactuar until its first turn, you've already won. Cactuar will most likely kill
Provoker with 10000 Needles (1 more turn left for Doom effect) and will be
killed on next turn it gets (you can kill it easily with second level element
gems). Remember to revive fallen chr (you'd best switch out between chrs in
order to get that big AP for as many chrs as possible). Once Cactuar bites the
dust on second turn it gets, you get your much needed AP. Reapply as necessary
until all chrs have finished their part of the grid.
NOTE: If you get bored easily doing that, switch to AP gaining trick described
way above (press CTRL + F, type in A840A, and press ENTER).

- Tidus knows Quick Hit


- Yuna knows Holy
- Lulu knows Flare
- Rikku knows Bribe
- Kimahri knows... well, whatever path you sent him down, but I recommend you
teach him Steal and Use
- Wakka knows Triple Foul
- Auron knows Sentinel
- of course, don't forget to activate stat nodes on the way
Okay, your chrs now know all of their skills that are located on their paths
over Sphere Grid. They also have at least somewhat decent stats, which means
you can now take onto last three areas. Another important achievement is that
Yuna's aeons have been bettered as well, even though you weren't using them a
lot - remember, as long as Yuna's stats rise (aeons' stats rise even if you
fight battles without Yuna in your party), so will aeons' (there is stat growth
limit tho').
Let's cover Gagazet next. Go to Gagazet and capture one Bandersnatch, Ahriman,
Dark Flan, Grenade, Grat, Grendel, Bashura, Mandragora, Behemoth, Splasher,
Achelous and Maelspike (latter three can be found in watery parts of Gagazet).
One of each drives by Catoblepas. By capturing *two* of each water fiend you'll
also unlock Shinryu.
Moving onto I. Sin dungeon. Here wear First Strike weapons you've purchased
before and customized when I advised you to. Capturable monsters found here are
Exoray, Wraith, Geminis (there's two kinds!), Demonolith, Great Malboro,
Barbatos, Adamantoise and King Behemoth. Words of advice are needed...
- Exoray is easy
- Wraith is a souped up Ghost, and likes to use Doom on first turn - until
second turn it'll already be dead
- Geminis are tough; Armor Break one and kill it ASAP to disable two Reaper
attacks in a row
- Demonolith is made harmless by using Silence Buster or Silence Grenade on it,
which disables its Pharaoh's Curse counter; remember to wear Stoneproof armors!
- Great Malboro is a pain; equip your Provoker with First Strike weapon and on
Provoker's turn Provoke Great M. to 'disable' Bad Breath, then kill it
- Barbatos can only be fought in 'city' area, which you can access once you
defeat Omnis; I don't recommend Armor Breaking it, else it'll counter with
Mortar lots of times, but it's your choice
- Adamantoise, eh? Mental Break it, then put it to sleep, then use magic on it
until it has little HP left at which point use a physical attack to capture it
- Behemoth King is another pain; all attacks sans its desperation move target
one chr, so you'll manage to stay alive till the end, when you can capture it
(interesting note: according to NTSC owners, Kingie ends with Meteor even if
you capture it in NTSC version; luckily for us, it doesn't do so in our
version). After all of this stuff is yours, Abaddon is now accessible.
And finally O. Ruins. Zaurus, Floating Death, Black Element, Halma, Puroboros,
Spirit (make sure you Provoke it or you'll be sorry), Machea, Master Coeurl
(capture one of these by all means!!!), Master Tonberry (wait until it gets
close, then unload on it) and Varuna. Capture one of each for Vorban. Now that
all area creations are unlocked, you also get access to Neslug.
Return to arena and get these prizes:
- for Catoblepas you get Blossom Crown (needed for Magus Sisters)
- for Shinryu you get 30x Megalixir
- for Abaddon you get 99x Lunar Curtain
- for Vorban you get 60x Designer Wallet
- for Neslug you get 99x Winning Formula

With this Step 1 of this informator is complete. You're ready for step 2.
************************************************************
STEP 2 - THREE SELECTED CHARACTERS LEARN IMPORTANT ABILITIES
************************************************************
What now? I know you've tried fighting arena creations, only to be defeated. I
did too. In order to survive you don't only need high stats, you need an
assortment of skills as well. IMO getting right skills before maxing stats
takes priority, therefore it is this what I'll discuss next: how to have all
chrs learn important abilities...
It is time to choose the party that will take care of those nasty overpowered
enemies. As stated before, I suggest Rikku, Auron and Kimahri, all with their
fully powered celestial weapons. If you have Anima and Magus Sisters, switch
Kimahri out for Yuna. If you don't have Anima and Magus Sisters, Yuna will act
as a backup in certain tough 'events'.
Which abilities do I deem important?
Esuna, Full-Life, Hastega, Slowga, Shell, Protect, Reflect, Dispel, Holy, AutoLife, Steal, Use, Entrust, Copycat, Quick Pockets, Doublecast, Bribe, Triple
Foul, Delay Buster, Full Break, Mug and Quick Hit.
No, no, no, I won't have you walking all over SG just to activate those nodes.
I'll provide you with an easy guide of how to obtain all of these nifty
abilities with ease...
Getting the cash
- sell off all of the excessive weaponry and armor you might have collected on
your journey and you don't need anymore
- equip Rikku with her Godhand (this is her best weapon I'm sure you've gotten
already) or in case you don't have one yet, customize any weapon with two free
slots with Gillionare (use 30x Designer Wallet you got not long ago) and First
Strike
- go to O. Ruins and save at nearby save sphere
- start circling around here and keep falling into random battles
- make sure Rikku (and First Striker) is (are) in frontline party
- most of fights are VS 1x Zaurus and 1x chest (it can be a Mimic)
- make sure you have Rikku Steal from the chest; if it says 'Nothing to
steal.', chest turns into one of four shapes of a Mimic
- defeat this bastard and you'll get 100000 gil
- Rikku must be in winning party or you won't get cash bonus
- for starters you'll need around 4000000 gil
Getting the hard-to-reach abilities for Rikku, Auron and Kimahri (Yuna)
WAY 1:
- head to monster arena
- pay to fight Master Coeurl
- Bribe it 130000+ gil for one Warp Sp. (you'll need about 15 of them)
- now pay to fight Coeurl
- Bribe it 60000+ gil for Friend Sp. (need about 45 of them)
- get 99 Ability Spheres
- now use Warp Sp. to warp to Full-Life node and use Ability Sp. to have Rikku
learn Full-Life
- now have Auron use Friend Sp. to teleport to Rikku's location and use Ability
Sp. to learn Full-Life (do the same for Kimahri, Yuna, or both)
- repeat the process of warpin' and stuff for these abilities: Auto-Life,
Copycat, Quick Pockets, Doublecast and Full Break

WAY 2:
- slaughter heaps of Cactuars so that you gain large amounts of AP with which
you can cross the grid
- alternatively, you can kill lots of Great Malboros or Master Tonberries for
two huge AP boosts
- another alternative to get lots of AP is AP gaining trick described way above
(press CTRL + F, type in A840A, and press ENTER)
- to get lock spheres with which you remove the locks at SG, you need to do a
bit of Bribing again: for Lv.1 Bribe Imp, for Lv.2 Bribe Behemoth, for Lv.3
Bribe Demonolith, for Lv.4 Bribe Chimera Brain
- the rest of the stuff is accomplished much the same as previous way
Learning the rest of important abilities
- according to abilities left (Esuna, Hastega, Slowga, Shell, Protect, Reflect,
Dispel, Holy, Steal, Use, Entrust, Bribe, Triple Foul, Delay Buster, Mug and
Quick Hit) you'll need 24 Wht Mag Sp., 12 Special Sp., and 12 Skill Sp.
- you can get Wht Mag Sp. by Bribing Dark Flan
- Special Sp. will be yours when Adamantoise is Bribed
- Skill Sp. are handed to you by Bribing Zu
- finding all of these guys is not hard, since we already captured one of each
when we were questing after area creations
- if in need of more cash, return to O. Ruins and continue slaughtering Mimics
Second step in accomplishing the task is complete. Although I've singled out
three (four) chrs, the others will get their turn once the selected chrs finish
their route across the SG.
*************************************************
STEP 3 - GETTING READY TO FIGHT SPECIES CREATIONS
*************************************************
Right. In step 3 I'll tell you how to access the chance itself to max the
stats. We'll need to unlock species creations. To do so you'll now have to
revisit each of the 13 areas and capture following amounts of stuff in order to
have Species conquest entry in the end look like this:
- Fenrir - capture at least 3 of each: Dingo, Mi'ihen Fang, Garm, Snow Wolf,
Sand Wolf, Skoll, Bandersnatch.
- Ornitholestes - capture at least 3 of each: Dinonix, Ipiria, Raptor,
Melusine, Iguion, Yowie, Zaurus.
- Pteryx - capture at least 4 of each: Condor, Simurgh, Alcyone.
- Hornet - capture at least 4 of each: Killer Bee, Bite Bug, Wasp, Nebiros.
- Vidatu - capture at least 4 of each: Gandarewa, Aerouge, Imp.
- One-Eye - capture at least 4 of each: Floating Eye, Buer, Evil Eye, Ahriman,
Floating Death.
- Jumbo Flan - capture at least 3 of each: Water Flan, Thunder Flan, Snow Flan,
Ice Flan, Flame Flan, Dark Flan.
- Nega Elemental - capture at least 3 of each: Yellow Element, White Element,
Red Element, Gold Element, Blue Element, Dark Element, Black Element.
- Tanket - capture at least 3 of each: Raldo, Bunyip, Murussu, Mafdet, Shred,
Halma.
- Fafnir - capture at least 4 of each: Vouivre, Lamashtu, Kusariqqu, Mushussu,
Nidhogg.
- Sleep Sprout - capture at least 5 of each: Funguar, Thorn, Exoray.
- Bomb King - capture at least 5 of each: Bomb, Grenade, Puroboros.
- Juggernaut - capture at least 5 of each: Dual Horn, Valaha, Grendel.
- Ironclad - capture 10 of each: Iron Giant, Gemini A, Gemini B.
IMPORTANT: If not already mentioned, you need Clear Spheres to remove crappy
nodes from SG. But in order to do so, you must capture at least 5 of every
capturable fiend in order to unlock Ultima Buster as well as being able to buy

Clear Spheres. Currently you DON'T need them yet.


Additionally, by unlocking two species creations Greater Sphere is also
unlocked. For six species creations open you get to fight Th'uban.
After this feast is complete (I bet you'll never want to see another Tonberry,
Master Tonberry, Simurgh, Ogre, Garuda and some other nice guys) return to the
arena to collect your rewards, which are:
- for unlocking Fenrir you get 99x Chocobo Feather
- for unlocking Ornitholestes you get 99x Stamina Spring
- for unlocking Pteryx you get 99x Mega Phoenix
- for unlocking Hornet 60x Mana Tonic
- for unlocking Vidatu 99x Mana Spring
- for unlocking One-Eye 60x Stamina Tablet
- for unlocking Jumbo Flan 60x Twin Stars
- for unlocking Nega Elemental 99x Star Curtain
- for unlocking Tanket 99x Gold Hourglass
- for unlocking Fafnir 99x Purifying Salt
- for unlocking Sleep Sprout 99x Healing Spring
- for unlocking Bomb King 60x Turbo Ether
- for unlocking Juggernaut 99x Light Curtain
- for unlocking Ironclad 60x Mana Tablet
- for unlocking Greater Sphere 60x Supreme Gem
- for unlocking Th'uban 99x Gambler's Spirit
- for unlocking Ultima Buster 99x Dark Matter
Almost everything unlocked except Nemesis (and Ultima Buster, if you didn't
bother capturing 5 of each fiend). Are you good or not?
*********************************
STEP 4 - FINAL STATISTIC PREPPING
*********************************
In this step I'll prep you up for upcoming battles against species creations.
You should be using Rikku with fully powered up Godhand, Auron with fully
powered up Masamune and Kimahri with fully powered up Spirit Lance (or Yuna, if
her Nirvana is fully powered).
What I'll write now may go against the common belief, but... Personally I think
that it is MUCH better that you try to cover all existing stat booster nodes on
SG *before* you take on any of newly created monsters in the arena. Sure, if
you have Yuna and all her summons, job is easy in this case, but many first
time FFX: PAL players forget to get Destruction Sp. treasures in the temples
and are later unable to win it back cos of certain would-be-tough guys. I have
had that experience.
Also, I don't think that raising HP above 9999 HP is necessary. Forget about
raising MP behind 999 MP - this value will more than suffice. I'll present a
chart with starting stats of playable chrs:

Looks crappy, doesn't it? But fear not, after all stat nodes are activated,
picture drastically changes. This next chart shows how much does each stat
improve. I used Tidus and when he covered all nodes, he had following stats:
HP, St, Df, Mg, Mf, MP, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac
9999 187 160 147 129 999 184 36
134 80
So, what are the exact increases in every stat? The answer is in the below

Note: HP and MP are increased waaaay more cos of sea of HP and MP nodes that
are on SG. But where are those additional HP and MP, you ask? You need Break HP
Limit and Break MP Limit armor abilities for that. Don't worry tho', game
remembers all HP and MP. When you get those two abilities I mentioned, HP and
MP will be properly displayed. With all HP nodes on SG activated chrs' HP end
up somewhere around 20000 (when Tidus reached 9999, I counted 51 more HP nodes
before they were all activated).
Now I'll provide the stats your chrs can have when all of the existing stat
nodes have been activated, not counting the spheres you may have gotten and
used already.

What do you say now, huh? Aren't your chrs strong or aren't they strong?:)
Really, getting to activate all of the nodes on SG first is more fun to do then
trying to nail some of species creations who may prove way too tough. But hey,
you're nearly ready now, it's time we get you in the clothes you'll use for
next battles (to raise Luck you're advised to use Attribute Sp., which you get
by Bribing Maelspikes).
After everything is covered, ie all abilities learned, all stat nodes activated
and all Lock nodes removed, you will have 269 empty nodes available. Memorize
this number and in the continuing lines you will see how to best employ them.
First we'll want to max Strength. I'll tell what next once Str is covered.
Note: In this note I'll add what stat spheres you may have received if you've
been lucky enough...
- 1x Magic Sp. from Cloister in Djose temple
- 1x Magic Defence Sp. in Moonflow: South Bank Road
- 1x Luck Sp. in Kilika Forest
- 1x Luck Sp. in Macalania Temple
- 1x Luck Sp. in Dome: Corridor
- I may have been missing some, but it doesn't matter really.
*****************************
STEP 5 - FIRST ARMOR PREPPING
*****************************
What you need to do now is go to Macalania forest and find Wantz there. When
you find him, purchase empty 4-slotted armors from him 100000 gil a piece. If
by some strange coincidence Wantz isn't there, head into arena and fight
Adamantoises or Varunas. So far these two are only fiends I know of that drop
empty 4-slot armors. Last alternative for you is to go the airship and purchase
armors from Rin. It'll already have HP+10% armor ability integrated, but will
also have three free slots. We'll get more sets of armors in the long run, just
so you know it.
For first armor we'll be using you'll want to add Auto-Haste. 80x Chocobo Wing
is enough for one, thus making a final total of 240x Chocobo Wings. You got 99
of them for unlocking Cactuar King, and you can get the rest by Bribing Machea
from O. Ruins.
Next add Auto-Protect. You'll need 210x Light Curtains. You got 99x of them
from unlocking Juggernaut. Steal the rest from Iron Giant. Or engage against
Tanket. You can steal 4x Light Curtain per one successful steal. Or in case you
can win against Fafnir, he'll drop 20 of then when killed (40 for Overkill).
For third slot you want to employ Auto-Phoenix. 60x Mega Phoenix for three.
Bribe Ghost for Mega Phoenixes if you're running low on them.
First armor is prepped and ready to use. So equip Rikku with Godhand, Auron

with Masamune and Kimahri with Spirit Lance (Yuna with Nirvana) - all these
weapons must be fully powered up. Don't forget to equip newly created armors!
Also remember that Kimahri's and Rikku's best weapons deal more damage at full
HP, whilst Auron's deals more damage, lower he is on HP.
If you'll be running low on money, remember to return to O. Ruins and kill
Mimics there for money.
************************
STEP 6 - MAXING STRENGTH
************************
First stat you'll want to increase and I strongly urge you to do so is
strength... *activates Stat Scanner* ...Ah, our target is Juggernaut! So save
at the save sphere behind arena manager, talk to him and pay the cash to
engage...
He has 1200000 HP and needs to be dealt a finishing blow over 15000 damage to
get an Overkill. He drops 1x Strength Sp. (2x for Overkill). He can be statusinflicted will all four Breaks. Here are his stats:
St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac
98, 140,70, 62, 42, 15, 0, 32
Although his Def may intimidate you, he is very slow when compared to Agi of
your speedster chrs. Two to three chr's turns for one of Jugi's is a usual.
Don't bother with magic against Jugi, as he's impervious to any magic.
Juggernaut is an extremely easy species cretin - here's his move pattern:
Charging, Salvo (fire-based attack), complement of moves consisting of either
Attack or Crush Spike... after four Crush Spikes have been used..., Charging,
Salvo... ad infinitum.
As soon as battle starts, you're nearly set for him as you're already in Haste
and Protect statuses. As you see in upper right corner, you will have many
turns (eight or so) before Jugi gets his first turn. Use Full Break or Auron's
Banishing Blade on him, then switch to Quick Hits. Jugi's first turn will be
automatically wasted for Charging. Keep using Quick Hits to assault Juggernaut
mercilessly. Sometime before Jugi's second turn remember to cast NulBlaze on
your party. As Jugi's second turn approaches, you'll see three Immune appear on
screen. Sometime now Juggernaut will go 'Aaaaaaaaargh!!! How could you do that
to meeeeee???'. In case he's still not dead, you'll start seeing Crush Spike or
Attack. Crush Spike will kill chr targetted, but that chr will be revived
automatically by Auto-Phoenix in other chrs' armors. Attack on other hand will
deal about 2800 to 3000 to one of your chrs. Nothing dangerous, as you will
soon see. Wrestle that 1x Strength Sp. (or 2x, if you Overkilled him). Now
enter Sphere Grid and place that Strength Sp. into one of the empty nodes.
Activate it as well with Rikku, Auron and Kimahri (Yuna) to have their Str
increase by four points for the next battle. Closer you get to 255 Str, faster
Jugi will bite the dust, hehe.
POST-JUGGERNAUT-BATTLE-SPHERE-GRID-INFORMATOR
- Lowest Str stat is 177 of Lulu and Yuna. This means you're gonna need 20
Strength Sp. in order to reach max Str stat for all seven chrs. Proceed in
killing Jugi until you have that much. Lay waste upon SG using 20 Strength Sp.
you've just received and Str stat for all chrs is at 255 finally. Yay us. To
avoid traveling over too much of SG, I suggest fighting Sleep Sprout for
Teleport Spheres he drops. Then use Teleport Spheres to move close to those
empty nodes and fill them up with Str +4 nodes, that you later activate. If you
need lots of Power Sp. fast, engage in battle against Kottos, feed him one
Power Distiller and Overkill him to receive 40x Power Sp.
- Empty nodes remaining: 248 empty nodes.
- Next stat target: Defence

- but uhhh, there is an obstacle in the way, as Tanket causes Berserk... before
you nail him, we'll need another armor piece
***************************
BY-STEP 6 - FAFNIR OVERKILL
***************************
Fafnir is another creation that has set attack pattern, therefore this is why I
recommend fighting it for Light Curtains (you need those for Auto-Protect). He
has 1100000 HP and needs to be dealt finishing blow worth over 13000 in order
to get Overkill. He drops 20x Light Curtain (40x for Overkill). Overkill is
very much possible anyway since your chrs have max Str, therefore you'll need
to fight it 6 times to receive all Light Curtains you need. He's also
susceptible to all four Breaks. Here are his stats:
St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac
76, 30, 109,130,38, 15, 0, 100
Even slower than Juggernaut. But he has a nasty trick, that'll be exploited
below. Once the battle commences, you are already in top shape when it comes to
Haste and Protect. If Auron has full Overdrive, Banishing Blade him or have him
use Full Break. Then resort to Quick Hits and Fafnir goes down somewhere around
his first attack, which would be simple 'Bash' for moderate (moderate cos of
Auto-Protect on) damage to one chr. In case you're still not able to defeat it
after his first and he gets around to second turn, remember to cast NulFrost
prior to it (use following move pattern to help you further decipher his next
attacks - 'Bash', Triple Attack *ice* [NulFrost], Triple Attack *fire*
[NulBlaze], Triple Attack *lightning* [NulShock], 'Bash', repeat the pattern).
Careful - Fafnir's triple-stage-attacks have Quick Hit properties... you'll
know what I'm talking about once you view the top right corner of the screen.
Nab him six times or more if he drops some Dark Matters.
***************************
STEP 7 - SECOND ARMOR PIECE
***************************
Purchase another three armors from Wantz / defeat Adamantoise to receive empty
4-slot armor. Buying from Rin on airship is not recommended anymore, so I urge
you to resort to these two ways.
What shall we integrate in this armor? This time we have four slots to work
around with. In one integrate Auto-Haste (Bribe Machea for Chocobo Wings), in
second Deathproof (Bribe Epaaj for Farplane Winds), in third Berserkproof
(Bribe Floating Eye for Musks), in fourth Confuseproof (Bribe Raldo for Hypello
Potions). This armor will help us in getting Defence and Agility to the max.
IMPORTANT: Purchase additional armor piece for Auron! Extremely important! In
first slot integrate Ribbon using 99x Dark Matters you got if you were bothered
enough to unlock Ultima Buster. If you don't have them yet, or have
insufficient amount of them, save them for later.
***********************
STEP 8 - MAXING DEFENCE
***********************
Strength alone isn't sufficient. Without high Defence you don't stand a chance
against many of Original creations, as well as dark aeons. For Defence boosting
we'll... *activates Stat Scanner* ...take on Tanket.
Prior to battle make sure you equip armor which we lastly created, ie the one
containing Deathproof, Berserkproof and Confuseproof. For this battle
Berserkproof will take care of nasty things.
Tanket is another slowpoke in species creation assortment. And yep, he has an

attack 'pattern' as well. He has 900000 HP and needs to be dealt finishing blow
worth over 10000 in order to get Overkill. He drops 1x Defence Sp. (2x for
Overkill). Overkill is very much possible anyway since your chrs have max Str.
He's also susceptible to Armor Break and Mental Break. His stats:
St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac
103,100,3, 250,41, 15, 0, 100
Slow? Yes? Nasty trick? Yes. Easy anyway? With a little trick, yes. At start of
battle have Auron execute Banishing Blade or Full Break on Tanket to soften him
up. Important thing in this battle is to keep track of how much damage you did
to Tanket. If you're hitting for 99999 (use Quick Hits!), stop at fourth
attack. At this point *always* have Auron use Sentinel until Tanket's next
attack. Auron will counter, dealing a blow, pushing Tanket's HP over 1/2 lost,
thus forcing him in switching to Rush Attack... but you won't see any, as you
will now have way more then five turns left in which you deal another five
99999-s to Tanket, successfully sending him to the Farplane. If you're worried
by Berserk you were being inflicted with in earlier battles, no worries. That's
why we have Berserkproof here - to never be Berserked. Also don't worry about
having delayed turns - as Agi is pretty high, it won't matter.:) Bye, Tanket.
POST-TANKET-BATTLE-SPHERE-GRID-INFORMATOR
- Lowest Def stat is 155 of Yuna. This means you're gonna need 25 Defence Sp.
in order to reach max Def stat for all seven chrs. Proceed in killing Tanket
until you have that much. Lay waste upon SG using 25 Defence Sp. you've just
received and Def stat for all chrs is at 255 finally. Yay us. To avoid
traveling over too much of SG, I suggest fighting Sleep Sprout for Teleport
Spheres he drops. Then use Teleport Spheres to move close to those empty nodes
and fill them up with Def +4 nodes, that you later activate. If you need lots
of Power Sp. fast, engage in battle against Kottos, feed him one Power
Distiller and Overkill him to receive 40x Power Sp.
- Empty nodes remaining: 223 empty nodes.
- Next stat target: Accuracy
- Hornet has two status attacks he will annoy you with: Bewitching Stab
inflicts Confusion (Confuseproof armor we already have) and regular 'Stab'
inflicts KO (what a coincidence - we also have Deathproof armor)
************************
STEP 9 - MAXING ACCURACY
************************
Physical prowess of our chrs has been taken care of. Now let's make sure they
have some means of (nearly) always hitting the enemies... *activates Stat
Scanner* ...oh, gosh, it's Hornet!
Prior to battle make sure you equip armor which we lastly created, ie the one
containing Deathproof, Berserkproof and Confuseproof. For this battle
Deathproof and Confuseproof will take care of nasty things.
Hornet is *not* another slow bastard, so do not get too confident. He has
620000 HP and needs to be dealt finishing blow worth 99999 in order to get
Overkill. He drops 1x Accuracy Sp. (2x for Overkill). Overkill *will* be
possible anyway since your chrs have max Str. He's also susceptible to all
Breaks. His stats:
St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac
63, 70, 88, 95, 102,15, 17, 100
He's a lot faster than his previous buddies. He's also a bit more skilled at
evading attacks, but you will miss maybe in one out of five tries. Nothing
majorly worrying. What could be worrying, but isn't, are his attacks.
Bewitching Stab's Confusion won't work, KO that 'Stab' carries won't work...
you will be inflicted by Poison, Sleep and Darkness, however. Cure them with

simple Esuna.
As battle starts, just let it all out with Quick Hits (use Aim a few times if
you think you miss too often - soon that will improve), only stopping if Hornet
manages to put someone to sleep. Yes, I suggest ignoring Poison and the damage
it does to you - concentrate on downing Hornet instead. With Auto-Haste in
place each of your chrs will be getting two to three turns for one Hornet's.
Not shabby, eh?
POST-HORNET-BATTLE-SPHERE-GRID-INFORMATOR
- Lowest Acc stat is 73 of Lulu and Yuna. This means you're gonna need 46
Accuracy Sp. in order to reach max Acc stat for all seven chrs. Proceed in
killing Hornet until you have that much. After each Hornet battle remember to
visit SG to use Accuracy Sp. you've just won in order to improve Acc for next
Hornet battle, eventually allowing you to hit him with no problem. Also
remember laying waste upon SG until 46 Accuracy Sp. are used and Acc stat for
all chrs is at 255 finally. Yay us. To avoid traveling over too much of SG, I
suggest fighting Sleep Sprout for Teleport Spheres he drops. Then use Teleport
Spheres to move close to those empty nodes and fill them up with Acc +4 nodes,
that you later activate. If you need lots of Speed Sp. fast, engage in battle
against Kottos, feed him one Speed Distiller and Overkill him to receive 40x
Speed Sp.
- Empty nodes remaining: 177 empty nodes.
- Next stat target: Agility
- Fenrir, like Hornet, has two status attacks he will annoy you with: Fangs of
Chaos inflict Confusion (Confuseproof armor we already have) and Fangs of Hell
inflict KO (what a coincidence - we also have Deathproof armor)
************************
STEP 10 - MAXING AGILITY
************************
Str, Def and Acc. What a glorious trio. How about adding another member to the
clan? *activates Stat Scanner* ...Fenrir! Finally. I've been wanting to see
what this wolf is capable of.
Prior to battle make sure you equip armor which we lastly created, ie the one
containing Deathproof, Berserkproof and Confuseproof. For this battle
Deathproof and Confuseproof will take care of nasty things.
Warning! Currently Fenrir is faster than all of your chrs... or is he? Thanks
to Auto-Haste you're ensured that your chrs will be getting one or two turns
for each of Fenrir's. He has 850000 HP and needs to be dealt finishing blow
worth 99999 in order to get Overkill. He drops 1x Agility Sp. (2x for
Overkill). Overkill *will* be possible anyway since your chrs have max Str.
He's also susceptible to Magic Break and Mental Break, none of which interest
us, since we won't be using magic against him. His stats:
St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac
73, 40, 12, 165,200,15, 60, 50
Lot faster than Hornet, also having pretty high evasion. But what was the last
thing we were collecting? Accuracy Sp.! Kiss your Evasion goodbye, Fenrir.
Luckily for us Agility of your chrs is another stat that was pretty populated
on SG, meaning you don't have to fight lots of Fenrirs...
At start of battle... you already know what to do, yes? Quick Hits all the
way... Fangs of Chaos is gravity attack, based on current HP, meaning it won't
kill you, no matter how hard Fenrir can try. It is used the most among the
three attacks Fenrir has to offer. Fangs of Hell can be avoided in maybe 2 out
of 5 times, but we don't have that much Evasion yet to guarantee 100% evasion.
Fangs of Ruin needs some further assessment to be done on my part (?????
doublecheck what the heck Fangs of Ruin do?????). You'll get five or six turns

for one Fenrir's (as we've only started collecting Agility Sp.), more if you're
using Quick Hits (watch the number of turns skyrocket once you gain 255 Agi).
As you cannot be inflicted with any dangeruos status except being KO-ed
normally by Fangs of Hell, your only job is to use Quick Hit, or Quick Pocket a
Phoenix Down to revive fallen ally.
POST-FENRIR-BATTLE-SPHERE-GRID-INFORMATOR
- Lowest Agi stat is 179 of Lulu and Auron. This means you're gonna need 19
Agility Sp. in order to reach max Agi stat for all seven chrs. Proceed in
killing Fenrir until you have that much. After each Fenrir battle remember to
visit SG to use Agility Sp. you've just won in order to improve Agi for next
Fenrir battle, eventually allowing you to hit him more times he can imagine.
Also remember laying waste upon SG until 19 Agility Sp. are used and Agi stat
for all chrs is at 255 finally. Yay us. To avoid traveling over too much of SG,
I suggest fighting Sleep Sprout for Teleport Spheres he drops. Then use
Teleport Spheres to move close to those empty nodes and fill them up with Agi +
4 nodes, that you later activate. If you need lots of Speed Sp. fast, engage in
battle against Kottos, feed him one Speed Distiller and Overkill him to receive
40x Speed Sp.
- Empty nodes remaining: 158 empty nodes.
- Next stat target: Magic Defence
- One-Eye has multi-target multi-status inflicting attack... news that you and
I don't like. Maybe you're thinking that we'll create new armor for him. If you
want to, go for it. I'll provide another section dedicated to creating armor
piece just for One-Eye battles. For those that would like to skip making
another armor, I have a little trick as well.
******************************
BY-STEP 10 - THIRD ARMOR PIECE
******************************
One-Eye's Shockwave inflicts magic type damage along with Confuse, Sleep,
Silence, Darkness and Slow. Silence and Darkness are hardly of being dangerous,
but we need to take care of other three.
Head to Wantz's again and purchase another three armors with four empty slots.
In the slots input Confuseproof (Bribe Floating Eyes for Musks), Sleepproof
(Bribe Skoll for Dream Powders) and Slowproof (Bribe Mushussu for Gold
Hourglasses). Leave fourth slot empty for now. Why not Auto-Haste instead of
Slowproof? I think it's a waste. Your chrs have 255 Agi and when you compare
this to One-Eye's Agi of 38, it makes you laugh.
******************************
STEP 11 - MAXING MAGIC DEFENCE
******************************
Physically your chrs are as tough as they can get, but what about magic
toughness? *activates Stat Scanner* ...One-Eye? The name couldn't fit better...
Prior to battle either make sure you equip armor which we lastly created, ie
the one containing Slowproof, Sleepproof and Confuseproof, or make sure Auron
is equipped with Masamune.
Warning! One-Eye has extremely high probability of ambushing you, in which case
you will get struck with Shockwave (injects Confuse, Sleep, Silence, Darkness
and Slow). One-Eye has 150000 HP and needs to be dealt finishing blow worth
over 15000 in order to get Overkill. He drops 1x Magic Defence Sp. (2x for
Overkill). Overkill *will* be possible anyway since your chrs have max Str.
He's also susceptible to Armor Break and Power Break, none of which interest
us. His stats:

St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac


55, 58, 77, 183,38, 15, 10, 18
Anyone needs speed? You chrs got it... and they've got it lots. If you listened
to my advice before, this battle will become extremely easy. But let's discuss
both ways anyway... If you went in skipping making third armor set, Auron will
be first to act. If One-Eye ambushed you, choose to Flee the battle. If One-Eye
is encountered normally, or you even gained Initiative on him, kill him before
he gets his first turn. Doing so is 100% sure you'll never even get hurt, but
it also costs money you'll waste paying to fight One-Eye, only to find out he
ambushed you and having no option left but to flee. Spending a bit more time
instead on gathering the ingredients for third armor I suggested putting
together will be 100% sure way you'll always emerge victorious.
One-Eye's Evasion and Darkness he can inflict with Shockwave won't help him one
bit in evading any of your attacks... maybe one out of ten, by which he'll
already be defeated, as he only packs 150000 HP (true, he has infinite Regen,
but who cares about that when he can't make full use of it, right?).
POST-ONE-EYE-BATTLE-SPHERE-GRID-INFORMATOR
- Lowest Mdef stat is 129. Strangely, all boys have that much. This means
you're gonna need 32 Magic Defence Sp. in order to reach max Mdef stat for all
seven chrs. Proceed in killing One-Eye until you have that much. After each
One-Eye battle remember to visit SG to use Magic Defence Sp. you've just won in
order to improve Mdef for next One-Eye battle, slowly but surely decreasing the
damage he can do to you with Shockwave. Also remember laying waste upon SG
until 32 Magic Defence Sp. are used and Mdef stat for all chrs is at 255
finally. Yay us. To avoid traveling over too much of SG, I suggest fighting
Sleep Sprout for Teleport Spheres he drops. Then use Teleport Spheres to move
close to those empty nodes and fill them up with Mdef +4 nodes, that you later
activate. If you need lots of Mana Sp. fast, engage in battle against Kottos,
feed him one Mana Distiller and Overkill him to receive 40x Mana Sp.
- Empty nodes remaining: 126 empty nodes.
- Next stat target: Evasion
- Pteryx is much like One-Eye in few aspects... likes to ambush you and has
little HP. Very luckily for us Pteryx doesn't have dangerous statuses throwing
around - he can only Curse you or delay your next turn (which won't matter cos
of high Agi stat).
IMPORTANT: One-Eye can be your richest cash-cow so far. He frequently drops
three slotted Triple AP weapons, which can be sold for 67000+ gil. Since you
can dispose of him in two attacks, I'd recommend switching to this money
earning, as I bet you're tired of seeing Mimics already.
************************
STEP 12 - MAXING EVASION
************************
Sixth stat we're about to max... *activates Stat Scanner* ...Pteryx? Another
flying-o bastard-o.
Prior to battle equip first armor we created, ie the one containing AutoPhoenix, Auto-Haste and Auto-Protect.
Pteryx also has extremely high probability of ambushing you, in which case you
will get struck with Beak of Woe (Curses!). Pteryx has 100000 HP and needs to
be dealt finishing blow worth 99999 in order to get Overkill. He drops 1x
Evasion Sp. (2x for Overkill). Overkill *will* be possible anyway since your
chrs have max Str. He's also susceptible to all Breaks. Not like I care. His
stats:
St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac

90, 100,5, 100,60, 15, 60, 100


Let's laugh a lot. Strategy is not even needed for this guy. Two Quick Hits and
it is all over, doesn't matter if you got ambushed or not.
POST-PTERYX-BATTLE-SPHERE-GRID-INFORMATOR
- Lowest Eva stat is 129. Rikku, Auron, Wakka and Kimahri are guilty. This
means you're gonna need 32 Evasion Sp. in order to reach max Eva stat for all
seven chrs. Proceed in killing Pteryx until you have that much. Remember laying
waste upon SG until 32 Evasion Sp. are used and Eva stat for all chrs is at 255
finally. Yay us - we're almost at the end. To avoid traveling over too much of
SG, I suggest fighting Sleep Sprout for Teleport Spheres he drops. Then use
Teleport Spheres to move close to those empty nodes and fill them up with Eva +
4 nodes, that you later activate. If you need lots of Speed Sp. fast, engage in
battle against Kottos, feed him one Speed Distiller and Overkill him to receive
40x Speed Sp.
- Empty nodes remaining: 94 empty nodes.
- Next stat target: Luck
- Why Luck next and not Magic? Personally I think Magic is completely useless
stat to max in FFX. You will fight toughest enemies of the game with pure
strength and skills that involve raw power. Rare occassions that will force you
to rely on magic power will be narrowed down to reviving with Life or FullLife, curing status ailments with Esuna or Dispel, and maybe occassional
Hastega or Slowga. But you know, there are other ways that do the job better,
you just need time and will to know where to look for it. Casting attack magic
is fairly useless for two things: it doesn't pay off as toughest enemies have
high magic defence and I don't want to see Ultima for x-times, where x equals
split infinity. I forgot to add that you need to fight Jumbo Flan in order to
get Magic Sp. It's 'pure' coincidence he can only be damaged by magic (there
are exceptions - Ifrit's Meteor Strike and some Overdrives deal damage to Jumbo
as well). No thanks, I'll pass on that. That's why.
**************************
STEP 13 - PART-MAXING LUCK
**************************
Yep, you read correctly. After all 255 you've seen Luck will be raised only
partly until further notice. There are two reasons to do this: You need to
fight Greater Sp. for Luck Sp. and Earth Eater for Fortune Sp. Furthermore, you
need one Fortune Sp. per one activation of Luck +4 node. Meaning? One Luck +4
node can only be fully activated with 7 Fortune Sp. Man, imagine the number of
Earth Eaters you'll have to kill.
Getting Luck Spheres
You'll need to engage VS Greater Sphere. While I have an easy strat for him,
you'll get bored easily, so make sure you're listening to some music. For
starters I would like to aim for 100 Luck stat for three chrs (or four... you
know, Yuna and Kimahri stuff, blah blah), just enough that you have little to
no problems wasting first four dark aeons.
Equip first armor we created prior to battle, ie the one containing AutoPhoenix, Auto-Haste and Auto-Protect. Greater Sphere packs 1500000 HP, with
99999 worth of damage counting for an Overkill. He drops 1x Luck Sphere (2x for
an Overkill). His stats:
St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac
87, 130,102,120,55, 15, 0, 72
Pretty slow, but dangerous anyway. To get all chrs' Luck to 100 and above,
we'll need 17 Luck Spheres. Subtract three you received so far (hopefully you
didn't use them for Mixes) and number decreases to 14 only. Let's calculate
small probability of Greater Sphere dropping Dark Matters in 1 out 4 cases...

I'd say you'll need to waste about 12 Greater Spheres. Let's do it.
As battle starts, yawn at GS' poor choice of how he wants to be positioned
during battle. After he's put together, Quick Hit him. For each attack you'll
see Ultima counter. At full Mdef it deals 900 damage to all. You may need to
heal once or twice during the process. For last chr that has a turn before GS,
do not let that chr attack. Instead heal to full with Healing Water or
Megalixir. GS regular turn can be Hydraulic Press, which hurts. 16 Ultimas
later GS lays defeated and 2x Luck Sphere is yours.
Getting Fortune Spheres...?
I really really don't recommend doing this if you don't have Tidus or Wakka
with their fully powered best weapons. Multi-hit overdrives are a must against
Earth Eater. He can be killed with chrs I suggested to use throughout maxingthe-stats process, ie Rikku, Auron and Kimahri, but it'll take another millenia
before you gather enough Fortune Spheres. Unfortunately, you will have to deck
few Earth Eaters in order to get Fortune Sp., needed to activate Luck nodes.
Getting Attribute Spheres
Again we take shelter in Bribing. You will need 34 Attribute Sp. in case Yuna
can already be part of battle party with fully powered Nirvana, or 51 Attribute
Sp. in case Yuna can't be part of battle party yet. Enemy to look for is
Maelspike, who can be Bribed for Attribute Sp. You will need about 8000000 gil
for this small feast (kill One-Eye and then sell weapons he drops or fight
Mimics in O. Ruins; additionally sell off all weapons and armors you got from
fighting previous creations). Bribe Maelspike with 100001 gil and then keep
giving it 1 gil until it goes away. Of course remember to save before any
Bribes are made.
POST-GREATER-SPHERE-AND-MAELSPIKE-BATTLE-SPHERE-GRID-INFORMATOR
- We'll raise Yuna's, Kimahri's, Rikku's and Auron's Luck to 100 with 17 Luck
Sp. we just got. Then have one of those chrs use one Fortune Sp. for each Luck
node that was newly created, and have the rest of chrs use Attribute Sp. to
activate the nodes. Luck is now 100, enough to waste Dark Valefor and Dark
Shiva with a little to no difficulty.
- Empty nodes remaining: 77 empty nodes.
***************************************
STEP 14 - YUNA 'ALMOST' ENTERS THE FRAY
***************************************
Before continuing I deem it is now time that Kimahri will be forced to step out
of the field and let Yuna enter occassionally. All of her stats are now at 255
sans Luck and Magic (you don't need latter anyway).
First thing to do is enter the airship. Input the coordinates for Baaj Temple:
X between 11 and 16, Y between 57 and 63. Enter newly discovered destination.
Go up the screen and fall into the water. Kill Geosgaeno who appears with one
hit.:) If you killed him before, much better. While still in the water, swim
north to reach the interior of Baaj temple. After climbing some steps you'll
reach Antechamber with six statues.
Top left belongs to Besaid, middle left Macalania, bottom left Zanarkand, top
right Bevelle, middle right Djose and bottom right Kilika. By approaching the
statue it will light up, meaning you broke the seal for respective temple. BTW,
Bevelle statue will light up automatically, there's *no way* you could've
missed that one.
This means we can now get all of Destruction Sp. from all the temples (except
Bevelle one, which we were forced to collect in order to be able to exit it).
- Kilika temple, Djose temple and Zanarkand temple will let you extract
Destruction Sp. with no problems
- you will run into flying problem when trying to approach Besaid temple and

you will run into speedy problem when trying to approach Macalania temple
************************************************
BY-STEP 14 - WASTING DARK VALEFOR AND DARK SHIVA
************************************************
Prior to Dark Valefor battle equip first armor we created, ie the one
containing Auto-Phoenix, Auto-Haste and Auto-Protect.
Valefor packs 800000 HP and needs to be dealt finishing blow worth 99999 in
order to get Overkill. He drops 1x Dark Matter (2x for Overkill). Overkill
*will* be possible anyway since your chrs have max Str. His stats:
St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac
148,120,186,220,105,48, 10, 250
He's moderately fast in comparison to your chrs, but we have Auto-Haste in
place and Auto-Protect. Following is info on damage estimates done to party at
max stats without Shell and Protect in place: 'Swipe' deals 3700 damage, Energy
Ray deals about 1000 damage to all, Energy Blast deals 50000 damage to all
(cannot be halved in any way), Sonic Wings deals about 1200 damage.
As you can see, only danger lies in Energy Blast, which is only used when
Valefor's Ovedrive gauge charges to the max. Among other turns Valefor will be
using Energy Ray, 'swipe' and Sonic Wings, none of which are particularly
dangerous.
Accuracy is at its max (supported by 100 Luck), therefore you will have little
trouble hitting Valefor. If you just can't seem to hit it, use Aim few times (5
times is max before using it becomes obsolete). Don't bother with magic, unless
you have 255 Mag and Doublecast. I suggest using only physical attacks.
Valefor's Overdrive charges to max after he's been attacked for 8 times. Just
before his next turn (at which he'll unleash Energy Blast), either cast AutoLife on Kimahri, Rikku and Auron, or have last chr with a turn before Valefor's
switch in Yuna, who summons an aeon to take the damage (I recommend doing the
latter). Aeon will die, but you will not. Heal with Megalixirs or Healing
Waters (you can steal them from Adamantoises) and switch Yuna back in reserve
for whoever you traded before. Nine 99999 hits later Dark Valefor is defeated.
Besaid temple can now be entered again.
IMPORTANT: Remember before when I suggested of purchasing additional fourslotted armor piece for Auron? You must have 99x Dark Matters by now, cos I'm
definitely sure you collected that much of them from killing monster arena
creations. Auron's next armor will contain Ribbon (99x Dark Matter), Auto-Haste
(Bribe Machea for Chocobo Wings), Auto-Protect (defeat Fafnir for Light
Curtains) and Deathproof (Bribe Epaaj for Farplane Winds).
Prior to Dark Shiva battle equip first armor piece we created, ie one
containing Auto-Haste, Auto-Protect and Auto-Phoenix. Equip Auron with lastly
created armor!!! Don't attempt to fight Dark Shiva without that armor.
She's fast! That's why you need 255 Agility and Auto-Haste. Following is info
on damage estimates done to party at max stats without Shell and Protect in
place: 'kick' deals 6000 damage, Heavenly Strike deals about 10000 damage, and
Diamond Dust 85000 damage to all (cannot be halved in any way). She's also
dangerous cos of her Quick Hit ability, as you will see in CTB window when in
battle against her. Her stats:
St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac
173,163,244,255,255,73, 0, 250
As battle starts, resort to Quick Hits immediately. Your aim is to defeat her
before she gains Overdrive. If you get ambushed, strategy changes a little.
Thanks to Masamune's First Strike ability Auron will have a turn before Shiva
does. Have Auron execute Sentinel! Regardless of Shiva using Heavenly Strike or
'Kick', Auron will run in to intercept the attack, take the damage and
counterattack by dealing Shiva some damage. For whole battle keep having Auron
execute Sentinel. Shiva has inherent ability of Quick Hit. You can easily see

so in CTB window in upper right corner. When she uses 'Kick' or Heavenly
Strike, see how fast she'll get next turn... after all of your chrs take one and this is at 255 Agi and Auto-Haste!
Meanwhile Kimahri and Rikku use Quick Hits to attack Shiva, successfully
cycling her HP down to zero. As Shiva has higher Luck than Valefor, missed
attacks are more often, but IMO still nothing to be worried about. Do not
forget to heal Auron every now and then (at max Def he'll take 1500 damage from
'Kick' and 2500 damage from Heavenly Strike if Auron is under Auto-Protect and
Sentinel), but use Quick Pockets!
If you think Shiva will be able to pull off Overdrive, cease attacking. Do not
give in into thinking that you may just be lucky enough to kill her before
Diamond Dust - remember that you can miss in your attacks. Instead resort to
following defence: on either Rikku's or Kimahri's last turn (*NOT* Auron's - he
must remain in battle at all times!!!) before Shiva's Diamond Dust have one of
them switch out and bring Yuna in, who will summon an aeon to take the damage
for you. After aeon dies, switch Yuna out and bring either Rikku or Kimahri
back into battle (depending on who you switched out) and then proceed using the
strategy I wrote above and by the time Shiva would use Diamond Dust for second
time you will defeat her.
Guado attack! Run from these guys all the way to the right so that you enter
screen called 'Lake Macalania: Crevasse'. Once here, return to Macalania temple
entrance and you can now enter without problem.
All of the Destruction Sp. have been collected! Now return to Baaj temple and
grab your Anima.
******************************************
STEP 15 - YUNA ENTERS THE FRAY PERMANENTLY
******************************************
Now that temple fun is behind us, few things await us. For Yuna we still need
to get two of her summons - Yojimbo (in case you don't have him already) and
Magus Sisters. You have to get Yojimbo first.
Getting Yojimbo
We'll visit Cavern of S. F. again. Remember Tonberry and you'll know straight
away where it is located. Go to very back of the cavern, where you'll meet
someone from Lulu's past. This someone will summon Yojimbo, who will engage in
battle against your party. Do I need to mention how pathetically easy he is
when compared to your 255 stats? One strike from any member will send him on
the floor (if only I could kill that annoying dog).
After the battle you'll visit Antechamber where Yojimbo will ask you what do
you wish from him. Answer something, then hand over 300000 gil and he's yours
to command in future battles.
Getting Magus Sisters
For these gals you'll need to visit Remiem temple (east exit from Calm lands,
accessible only with chocobo). Enter the temple and you'll find Belgemine. Talk
to her. Her too...? Accept her challenge, which is besting her in eight levels
of Tetris. You can't choose level eight right from the start, you'll have to
work your way up gradually. After you defeat level five, you win Flower
Scepter. If you got Anima, level six is now accessible. Best it. If you got
Yojimbo, level seven is now accessible. Best it as well.
This is it! Now approach the strange door behind Belgemine and you will be able
to enter. When Yuna exits, Magus Sisters are yours. Talk to Belgemine again and
level eight is now accessible. Best that as well, and finally say farewell to
Belgemine who will go where she belongs. Moon sigil is yours at last, meaning
Yuna's Nirvana is about to be at peak of its power!

Kimahri is now at last forced to leave the party and make place for Yuna, who
will make her glorious entrance.

****************************************
STEP 17 - PRE-FINAL SPHERE GRID OVERVIEW
****************************************
We haven't deleted single node up to now, yet already your chrs are able to
kick ass left and right. Not to mention the behind, hehe.:)
There's still 77 empty nodes remaining on SG that can be filled with something.
One part of that something I suggest you pour into 38 Luck Sp. (but it isn't
needed!), with which Luck stat will reach 255 value.
Yes, I am aware that having 255 Luck, Evasion and Accuracy is not needed.
Y'see, you can have one of the following:
- either you have 150 Luck, 255 Eva and 255 Acc
- or you have 255 Luck, 150 Eva and 150 Acc
... and you'll get roughly same results. But tell me, doesn't it fill you with
feeling of completion when you take a look at status screen and you see nothing
but 255? Well, in my stat maxing guide everything but Mag.
Subtracting that will come into running total of 39 empty nodes still remaining
on SG. You're left to do with them as you please, but many players go for HP
nodes (get them from killing Ironclad in species creation list). If you
absolutely must have Mag at 255, you'll need 27 Magic Sp. (get them from
killing Jumbo Flan).
*****************************************
STEP 18 - WASTING IRONCLAD AND JUMBO FLAN
*****************************************
Prior to Ironclad battle equip first armor we created, ie the one containing
Auto-Phoenix, Auto-Haste and Auto-Protect. If Yuna doesn't have it yet, make
one for her. For Auron stick to his Ribbon armor we have made.

Ironclad is a nice guy. He has a set attack pattern, 2000000 HP and counters
anything. He needs to be dealt finishing blow worth 99999 in order to get
Overkill. He drops 1x HP Sp. (2x for Overkill). He's also susceptible to all
Breaks except Power Break. His stats:
St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac
100,220,0, 180,65, 15, 0, 50
Strategy? If you insist. First a representation of how Ironclad moves:
Reppageki (used also as counter), Bushinzan, Shinryudan, Reppageki, Bushinzan,
Shinryudan, repeat as much times as needed. Bearing biggest HP of species
creations you'll want to have high Eva and Str for this battle, both of which
we already have. And way over as well.
When battle starts, we're already in Haste and Protect. Anything funny you try
on Ironclad, he'll try Reppageki on you. Now if your Eva is thru the roof,
he'll miss. Bushinzan and Shinryudan on the other hand always hit. Make sure
you heal immediately after Bushinzan. Restore MP too, as Bushinzan has Osmose
effect. Other than that, it's just a matter of Quick Hitting him until he dies.
Watching Yuna strike for 99999 changes one's view of her entirely.
Now that we have a bunch of HP nodes, stick them into SG. For those that are
aching in magic field, here's a brief entry for Jumbo Flan. For those that
don't care about magic, skip to Step 19.
Prior to Jumbo Flan battle equip first armor we created, ie the one containing
Auto-Phoenix, Auto-Haste and Auto-Protect. If Yuna doesn't have it yet, make
one for her. For Auron stick to his Ribbon armor we have made.
Jumbo Flan is not a nice guy - he's immune to any physical attack (funnily
Overdrives deal damage to him), and he can only be harmed by magic. He has
1300000 HP and needs to be dealt finishing blow worth 99999 to gain Overkill.
He drops 1x Magic Sp. (2x for Overkill). He's susceptible to Darkness (what for
I dunno) and Slow. His stats:
St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac
3, 255,98, 80, 60, 15, 0, 0
Strategy? Long, boring and tiresome. Jumbo Flan is immune to any weapon-based
attack, absorbs all elements sans holy, is under constant Reflect and packs a
big HP. For starters cast Reflect on one of your chrs, then Slow on that chr so
it will bounce off and hit Jumbo (or use Silver/Gold Hourglass on Jumbo).
Doublecast Flares the same way you just casted Slow. Now repeatedly Copycat
these two Flares you just casted and sooner or later Jumbo will subdue to
missing HP. Sometimes if low on HP, Jumbo will attempt the following: he'll
cast Reflect on one of your chrs, then *immediately* Curaga. On next turn/s
he'll do Reflect/Curaga combo again (in case you dispeled Reflect), Regen (in
case you don't dispel Reflect) or Ultima. Speaking of which, I believe that
lower Jumbo is to defeat, more of Ultima you'll be seeing.
Anima's Pain bypasses Reflect and is a magical attack. Spare Change works, as
do Overdrives and Ifrit's Meteor Strike.
POST-IRONCLAD-AND-JUMBO-FLAN-BATTLE-SPHERE-GRID-INFORMATOR
- You have 77 empty nodes remaining.
- Personally I'm mostly leaning onto having all stats at 255 except Mag and
Luck. Luck IMO is sufficient enough to be at 160. You will be able to kill
everything in the game with that stats. Yes, all dark aeons and Penance. True,
you may still miss with physical attacks against some of later dark aeons
(Magus Sisters), but I've done my best to find out strategies which allow you
to beat them very easily (for example, my Dark Bahamut, Dark Magus Sisters and
Penance strategies).
***********************************
STEP 19 - FINAL STATISTICS OVERVIEW

***********************************
First chart is based on my preferred final stats: all stats at 255 except Mag
and Luck. Leave Magic stat as it is (ie raised only with Mag +1, 2, 3 or 4
nodes already integrated into SG) and Luck being raised onto 160.
As you have 77 empty nodes left remaining, this means you need to get 15 more
Luck Sp. Subtracting that gives us 62 empty nodes still left. Fill them with 62
HP Sp. Lying below is chart with final statistics.
Note: HP stats are rough estimates (ie give/take 1000 HP)

Second chart is meant for players who want to have 255 in every stat. Having so
high stats they will, but at expense of lower HP. With 77 empty nodes remaining
(and based on last stats of your chrs) you will need 38x Luck Sp., 27x Magic
Sp. and 12x HP Sp. Lying below is a chart with final stats in this case.

Crappy name, but I couldn't think of anything more catchy. Anyway, what will
you find here? Before reading on about stat maxing saga (naaah, we're far from

Remember before we become so powerful, you tried to fight area, species and

See? No more constant 99999, but instead you'll keep seeing that much damage
being done to arena fiends.
*********************************
STEP 21 - SOME BANTER FROM WRITER
*********************************
There, another monstrous task is completed, albeit only half of it. I didn't
think there is any other way possible than always buying those dange Clear
Spheres, but after I took my time to study SG more closely and doing some math
it became entirely possible to max chrs' stats without help of Clear Spheres.
Now that first halftime is behind me, there is a second halftime. Yep, in next
part of stat maxing guide I will specialize in restructuring SG entirely with
help of Clear Spheres. Doing this will not cause some drastic changes, but your
HP will gain an enormous boost in the end in case you're not satisfied yet with
the amount of HP you already have. Let us undertake on the dirty job...
****************************************************
STEP 22 - STAT MAXING CONTINUED (WITH CLEAR SPHERES)
****************************************************
In case you fall into class of people that likes having neatly organized SG,
you've come just to the right section. In here I shall guide you through
tormenting way of buying Clear Spheres, clearing the crappy nodes, installing
+4 nodes, buying more Clear Sphere, more clearing, more installing... sometime
during this 1000 Don Tonberries will get killed... Anyway, it'll be boring for
a while. There are few pre-steps you'll have to read thru.
*************************************************
STEP 23 - EXTREMELY DETAILED SPHERE GRID OVERVIEW

****************************
STEP 25 - CLEAR SPHERES INFO
****************************
Clear Spheres are items you'll now be buying like mad, since we need to delete
many crappy nodes in order to organize the SG neatly.
First step in getting Clear Spheres is capturing five of every fiend. Doing
this will unlock Ultima Buster, as well as making Clear Spheres appear in Item
shop of arena manager. One Clear Sphere will relieve you of 10000 gil. Clear
Spheres can remove any node from SG except: Lock nodes, White and Black Magic
nodes, Skill nodes and Special ability nodes.
In next step I'll make another chart showing how many nodes from each stat
category you'll need to delete exactly, making necessary adjustments. Do not
attempt to delete anything yet! Take that chart only as an info corner to see
what you'll need to do.

you clear crappy Magic nodes last cos of Jumbo Flan's extremely annoying
ability of not being harmed by physical attacks.
*****************************************************************
STEP 27 - CHARACTER'S STATISTICS OVERVIEW BEFORE CLEAR SPHERE-ING
*****************************************************************
This part is of informative type as well. I will list here the stats your
characters would have in *case all of the crappy nodes would have been
deleted*. Doing so will help you and me calculate just how much spheres of each
type you'll need to get to install them into SG, thus making SG consist only of
+4 nodes. Anyway, first are stats with Luck of 160 and Mag not being touched at
all, while the rest are stats that are left only with +4 nodes, while the rest
are deleted.

STEP 28 - CALCULATING AMOUNT OF SPHERES YOU NEED FOR EACH STAT
**************************************************************
Another two-part subpart, I'm afraid. Two calculations have been done, based on
stats of each stat maxing process I suggested. First, as usual, will be stat
maxing guide with Luck of 160 and Mag not being changed.
- for HP you won't need any spheres, but you can accrue 203x HP Sp. if you wish
to have an enormous HP
- for MP you won't need any spheres
- for STR you'll need 20x Strength Sp.
- for DEF you'll need 26x Defence Sp.
- for MAG you won't need any spheres
- for MDEF you'll need 15x Magic Def Sp.
- for AGI you'll need 23x Agility Sp.
- for LUCK you won't need any spheres
- for EVA you'll need 12x Evasion Sp.
- for ACC you'll need 13x Accuracy Sp.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------This line-up shows amount of spheres needed in case all core stats are 255.

STEP 29 - FIGHTING SPECIES CREATIONS FOR SPHERES
************************************************
This shouldn't take long... as long as you don't start collecting HP Sp. If
only Ironclad wouldn't counter, battles against him would go so much faster.

But, in the veeeery end, this...

*****************************************
SOME LAST TIPS FOR PLAYERS WITH HP GROOVE

*****************************************
No, this isn't another chart or so, I just made yet another subpart for people
who keep mailing me with stuff on how to achieve 99999 HP without having an
armor with HP+??% abilities in it. It's quite simple actually.
If you take a look at stat maxing guide - 160 Luck and Magic untamed - you
prolly know what I'm saying from beginning... Magic sucks! So successfully get
rid of all Magic nodes - 47 nodes in total. Replace them with 47x HP Sp. for
another (calculates) 14100 HP added to current total, thus making chrs have
around 95000 HP already.
HP

Tidus
94420

Rikku
94260

Lulu Yuna Wakka


94280 94375 94518

Kimahri
94544

Auron
94930

Soooo, we need 20x HP Sp. still. Poor Ironclad. But which 20 nodes to erase? I
suggest getting rid of 20 MP +20 nodes which still lurk on SG. The rest of MP
nodes remaining still give + 600 MP boost to chr's base MP value, which is more
than enough for any and all MP needs.
Once also those MP nodes have been erased, you will now have 99999 HP for every
character. You can now throw away those HP+??% armors.
************************************
STATS GO IN HAND WITH GOOD EQUIPMENT
************************************
I see you're still around. *thinks* What the heck did I forget to put down? A
good weapon and armor suggestion, you say? Why not.
It's a common belief (at least I get that impression) that it's good to have
enormous amounts of HP and MP as well as 255-ish stats. Well, personally I
believe it is *not* a good thing to have over 9999 HP and 999 MP. Let me
explain why...
- Having huge amounts of HP is not good. You will need to spend many turns
healing in prolonged battles (Nemesis and Penance, for example).
- Amount of HP (MP in cases of Yuna and Lulu, but since they have One MP Cost
ability on their ultimate weapons, this is hardly a thing to worry about) also
directly relates to amount of damage celestial weapons can do (less HP means
less damage) - now imagine your chrs all have 99999 MAX HP, but their current
HP is 25000 or so; and compare to having your chrs have 9999 MAX HP, but their
current HP is 2500 or so - how many turns does each scenario require you to
heal? Latter only one. The only exception is Auron, who deals more damage lower
his current HP is - and even for him it is *not* necessary to build his HP over
9999 (having 1 HP at 9999 MAX HP or 99999 MAX HP... which is better?).
- Then there are gravity-type attacks which deal damage based on MAX HP.
Quickest example that jumps to mind is Greater Sphere's Hydraulic Press, which
tears off 93,75% of MAX HP. Were you to have over 50000 HP, how many turns
would you need to heal back to top (disregard Rikku's mix of Ultra Potion for
this scenario)? And how many turns would you need in case your MAX HP is only
9999? My point exactly.
- Are you *really* willing to spend many hours wasting Ironclad in the arena
for HP Spheres it drops? Your time could better be used elsewhere...
- Then last requirement to actually have over 9999 MAX HP is Break HP Limit
armor ability. Unless you get one on an armor Nemesis drops, you'll need Wings
to Discovery, for which you need to kill Shinryu (your time is better off doing
something else) or Bribe Malboro-type enemies (quite expensive and unreliable).
Remiem temple race with three open chests is one-time deal only.
- There are no 99999 damage dealing attacks in the game that cannot be
predicted, bypassed, blocked by an aeon taking the damage or prevented by doing
something (cast Auto-Life for example). Heck, even dark aeons overdrives are

easily predicted, for there is a nice bar showing how close they are to
unleashing the overdrive. If you can prevent or anticipate the attack, then why
the hell bother building your HP up to 99999 MAX HP, if you're going to die
anyway?
- Few sections up I made a chart showing damage area, species and original
creations can do to you once your stats have been maxed. With few exceptions
most attacks deal way less than 9999 damage - which makes having HP over 9999
hardly a necessity. Even for dark aeons you will not need that much HP.
I was able to defeat and devise a perfect foolproof strategy against Penance,
toughest enemy in FFX. I did it with only 9999 HP, stats at 255, celestial
weapons and armors having following abilities: Auto-Protect, Auto-Haste,
Def+20% and Auto-Potion. I took time to study Penance's attacks and based on
that info, I weighed my possibilities until I was able to write a very good
Penance strategy... But, this section is not for gloating about Penance's
demise, it's for armor information you have come looking for.
- Let's discuss MP and magic stat for a bit now. Does Jumbo Flan haunt the very
core of your existence? It sure does mine *laughs*. I grew tired of seeing
Anima's Pain animation after fifth Jumbo Flan fight. Based on my FF8 experience
(where magic attacks were completely useless IMO, physical attacks were the way
to go) I tried the same with this FF as well. In FFX magic attacks are again
useless (with few exceptions), and physical attacks are the way to go.
- But it is a good thing to use magic against Greater Sphere, Th'uban etc.
Please! Although they counter if you attack them physically, what do the
counters matter if you can survive them? And which is faster - animation of chr
doing physical attack or animation of chr casting Ultima?
- There are items which help you MP-wise rather than having enormous MP...
these are Twin Stars and Three Stars. Use them in battle and your MP cost has
been nullified.
Let's take a look first over armor abilities game has to offer. You can choose
from 74 different armor abilities. I'll single out the ones worth having. Under
each recommended ability you'll see amount of items you need for one such
ability to be made and under the amount all of possible ways to obtain that
item (I have excluded the chances that item might appear as blitzball prize).
1. Deathproof

- Penance, dark aeons (continuously fight Dark Yojimbo) have a chance of
dropping armor with this ability
Out of 74 we have 9 trustworthy abilites left. The remaining 65 do suck and you
don't need them. And now you have the means to obtain items you need with ease.
Good armor or best armor? A tough fact, but there is *no* best armor. We can
make some good armors instead. Based on my experience in this game, you will
stand awesome chances against anything with following three sets of armors.
GOOD ARMOR SET 1 (meant for everyday battles)
Auto-Protect, Auto-Haste, Ribbon, Auto-Phoenix
GOOD ARMOR SET 2 (meant for prolonged battles)
Auto-Protect, Auto-Haste, Ribbon, Break HP Limit
ARMOR SET 3 (meant for anything status related, including attacks that bypass

Deathproof armor ability)


Deathproof, Ribbon, Auto-Phoenix, Auto-Haste
WHATEVER ARMOR YOU WISH
If none of these three armors I suggested suit you, feel free to make your own
preferred armor. What I do recommend is that you use abilities mentioned above.
- never put anything besides No Encounters; it's a waste of items and free
slot... maybe MP Stroll or HP Stroll, as someone on GameFAQs FFX board
suggested
- never put Master Thief on armor if any of above 8 mentioned abilites is
already present; it's a waste of items and free slot
That's all I had to say for an armored section. Let's shift into expert gear
now!

=============================================================================
=============================================================================
37.) EXPERT SG STAT MAXING ---> A846
=============================================================================
=============================================================================
**********************************
PREHISTORIC PART, AKA INTRODUCTION
**********************************
Q - Expert Sphere Grid (ESG)? Wot dat?
A - Expert Sphere Grid is one of two SGs PAL players can choose from when
starting a new game of FFX. ESG is *not* available in NTSC version.
Q - Why the heck a separate section for it? Aren't they the same?
A - Nope. ESG has less nodes that standard SG to work with. And nodes that are
available on ESG aren't in same amounts than on standard SG.
Q - So, what *is* going to be different here?
A - The charts and nodes overview parts will be totally changed (number-wise,
not structure-wise). I'll also omit some of the stuff that I don't deem
necessary to be in this part.
Q - Will stat maxing process for ESG be different than that of standard SG?
A - Like stat max guide for Standard SG, I'll stick to same requirements for
this guide. I've counted number of empty nodes (including Lock nodes that
become empty nodes when removed) on ESG. The number is 277 empty nodes. I've
also spent some time to activate any and all nodes on ESG with Lulu as a test
chr, noting down her stats at start and end of the process, calculating the
difference. These two pieces of informations combined allowed me to come up
with a stat maxing guide, that will in the end let your chrs have max stats
without ever using Clear Spheres. I have also taken into account you haven't
captured anything yet, you don't have any celestial weapons, and what I think
is most important - I have written stat maxing guide without Yuna's help. Why?
It is a fact that her Nirvana, Moon Crest and Moon Sigil are easy to get, but
what if you forgot Destruction Sp. in Besaid and Macalania temple? Or in both?
Then you have a certain dark problem. And my guide helps you build max stats
with that problem taken into account.
Q - Will I even need Clear Spheres then?
A - If you want neatly organized SG, then yes. But I start using them after I
cover ESG using the first half of guide. Stat maxing guide using the help of

Clear Spheres will be done near the end.


**********************************************
PREPARATIONS FOR ESG STAT MAXIMIZATION PROCESS
**********************************************
This part will be short.
- First you need to know brief info on amount of nodes on ESG:
Total number of nodes - 805
Total number of ability nodes - 85
Total number of nodes we can mess around with - 720
- You should bother a bit to get best weapons for Rikku, Auron and Kimahri (or
Yuna instead of Kimahri, if you can get her Moon sigil).
- Your best party:
Party with which you're advised to undertake stat maxing quest is Rikku, Auron
and Kimahri - you will get their fully powered best weapons the soonest
(Kimahri's might take an hour or so). Use Yuna instead of Kimahri in case you
are able to get Anima and Magus Sisters, which means you got all Destruction
Sp. so far. Anyway, this stat maxing guide is done with a thought, that Yuna is
unable to get Anima and Sisters.
Before you start, I recommend getting Rikku's best weapon. Kimahri's stuff will
take you somewhere up to two hours. We'll take care of Auron's on the way, but
rest assured, you'll get your full-power Masamune before stat maxing process
begins for real.
- And lastly, have the airship.:) Otherwise, almost all areas are accessible by
foot, but with airship it goes much faster. And now, stat maxing begins...
*********************************************************************
STEP 1 - LEARNING ABILITIES, GETTING DECENT STATS AND SOME GOOD ITEMS
*********************************************************************
Buy Capture weapons from Monster Arena manager for every character, doesn't
matter if you'll use them now, later or never. Customize those weapons with
First Strike weapon ability. First Strike is IMO very useful for all the fights
you're about to enter. You need Return Sp. for that. D'you have any left? If
not, don't fret, we'll get them in a minute. Manager will start crying that
he's missing all the monsters. Head into Calm lands and start capturing
monsters. You need at least one monster of following: Skoll, Nebiros, Flame
Flan, Shred, Anacondaur, Ogre, Coeurl, Chimera Brain and Malboro. Rarer
monsters (Malboro and Ogre) can be found a bit more often in northwestern parts
of Calm Lands. One of each shall raise Chimerageist.
Now examine your items. If you still have any stat boosting spheres left from
your journey, use them on the grid now. They're a helpful starting boost to
your chrs. Don't bother with removing lock nodes if you don't have
corresponding lock spheres in your possession. You can get them, but that costs
money you don't currently have.
Okay, Chimerageist is opened. 1/10 of job for Auron's Mars sigil is done. Now
you need to defeat Chimerageist at least 3 times to get few precious Return Sp.
For info on kicking his ass look above... but I think you already experience
from before.:)
In case Geist's too fast for you, (but he shouldn't really), use Yuna's help in
shape of aeons, which you can use to soften him up and then kill him. Do so
three times and you'll get 3 Return Sp. In case you get Dark Matter, reapply
fighting Geist until you get 3 Return Sp. Waste them by integrating them into

weapons for three chrs you'll be using. Right now it doesn't matter who you
will use, just choose your three favorites.
Done? Done! Board the airship and head for Besaid. Capture one Dingo, Condor
and Water Flan to unlock Stratoavis (2/10 of Auron's sigil). If you're going by
this guide, right now you've also unlocked Earth Eater (which is unlocked once
you unlock *any* two area creation fiends).
Next destination is Kilika. Capture one Dinonix, Killer Bee, Yellow Element and
Ragora to unlock Malboro Menace (3/10 of Auron's sigil).
Now go to Mi'ihen Highroad: Mi'ihen Fang, Ipiria, Floating Eye, White Element,
Raldo, Vouivre, Bomb and Dual Horn. One of each plastered unlocks Kottos (4/10
of Auron's sigil).
Now for Mushroom Rock. One Raptor, Gandarewa, Thunder Flan, Red Element,
Lamashtu, Funguar and Garuda unlocks Coeurlregina (1/2 of Auron's sigil). For
Garuda you need to enter the screen called 'Mushroom Rock: Valley'. Garuda can
only be fought here.
Djose Highroad is next. Garm, Simurgh, Bite Bug, Snow Flan, Bunyip, Basilisk
and Ochu await your arrival. One of each unlocks Jormungand (6/10 of Auron's
sigil). Simurgh is most often found in the most northern part of Djose Highroad
near the sign that shows up as worldmap when examined. Right now you've
conquered 6 areas already. What does that mean? Catastrophe is unlocked at the
arena.
Thunder Plains are home of next fiends, one of each you of course need to
capture: Melusine, Aerouge, Buer, Gold Element, Kusariqqu, Larva, Iron Giant
and Qactuar. Combined they unlock Cactuar King (7/10 of Auron's sigil).
Qactuars can only be fought once you've prayed to at least one glowing Qactuar
statue by pressing Square button in front of it (three statues in total). Iron
Giants can be found in northern part of Thunder Plains.
Examine Macalania next. Find and capture one Snow Wolf, Iguion, Wasp, Evil Eye,
Ice Flan, Blue Element, Murussu, Mafdet, Xiphos and Chimera to unlock Espada
(8/10 of Auron's sigil).
Bikanel: Sand Wolf, Alcyone and Mushussu are easy to capture. Zu and Sand Worm
on the other hand pack a huge amount of HP. Then there's Cactuar, who has
insane evasion (use someone with high Acc try to kill it, also Provoke Cactuar
so it doesn't run away). While you're here, I recommend doing the Village of
the Cactuars sidequest (if you're bothered too much by random encounters, wait
a bit until we cover next area). In the end Abyss Worm (9/10 of Auron's sigil)
will be unlocked.
We already did Calm Lands, so let's move on.
Ah, Cavern of S. F. Yowie, Imp, Dark Element, Nidhogg, Thorn, Valaha, Epaaj,
Ghost (make deadly sure you capture one of these!!!) and Tonberry will in the
end unlock Don Tonberry (10/10 of Auron's sigil).
We have three areas left, but before we do them, let's return to the arena to
collect our prizes. Yes, yes, you can return to arena prior to that to collect
the goodies, but why bother? I recommend not wasting time going to and from,
but instead collect the stuff at once.
Talk to manager and he'll start heading over goodies:
- you've already received 60x Farplane Winds for unlocking Chimerageist
- for unlocking Stratoavis you get 99x Stamina Tonic

- for Earth Eater you get 60x Three Stars


- for Malboro Menace 99x Poison Fang
- for Kottos 99x Soul Spring
- for Coeurlregina 99x Candle of Life
- for Jormungand 99x Petrify Grenade
- for Catastrophe 99x Door to Tomorrow
- for Cactuar King 99x Chocobo Wing
- for Espada 60x Shining Gem
- for Abyss Worm 99x Shadow Gem
- for Don Tonberry 40x Silver Hourglass
- and Mars Sigil for Auron somewhere inbetween!!!
Don't modify anything just yet. We'll use the items we got later to create a
good armor. I forgot to mention that manager will let you take a first swing at
the fiend he created free of charge. I encourage you to at least take a go at
it, so you'll see what you will be up against.
If you don't have Rikku's Godhand fully powered up yet, or you're troubled too
much by random encounters whilst looking for Cactuars, your next objective is
to get ahold of No Encounter armor (defeat Ghost). Sooner or later you'll get
that No Encounter armor. Once you do, equip it on whoever you got it for.
Wearer doesn't need to be in active party. Then get that sigil to maximise
Godhand's potential.
Second objective is to purchase weapons from Rin's shop in Thunder Plains. Pick
three fighters with high Str and buy weapons for them (two must know Provoke).
These weapons are four-slotted. They already come with Str+10% and Str+5% and
have two free slots. One slot will be used for First Strike (need Return
Spheres - fight Chimerageist for few of them). Leave the fourth slot empty for
now. Go back to the arena.
Third objective is Cactuar you've captured. Continuously Overkill it for 12000
AP. If you get bored easily doing that, switch to AP gaining trick described
somewhere else in this guide (press CTRL + F, type in A840A, and press ENTER).
What abilities to learn? For info on this look into Sphere Grid Guide, where I
listed down the order of abilities your chrs can learn while traversing over
SG. True, it applies for standard SG, but all of these abilities are accessible
same way on ESG.
Okay, your chrs now know all of their skills that are located on their paths
over Sphere Grid. They also have at least somewhat decent stats (whose nodes
they've activated while traveling over SG), which means you can now take onto
last three areas. Another important achievement is that Yuna's aeons have been
bettered as well, even though you weren't using them a lot - remember, as long
as Yuna's stats rise (aeons' stats rise even if you fight battles without Yuna
in your party), so will aeons' (there is stat growth limit tho').
Let's cover Gagazet next. Go to Gagazet and capture one Bandersnatch, Ahriman,
Dark Flan, Grenade, Grat, Grendel, Bashura, Mandragora, Behemoth, Splasher,
Achelouse and Maelspike (latter three can be found in watery parts of Gagazet).
One of each drives by Catoblepas. By capturing *two* of each water fiend you'll
also unlock Shinryu.
Moving onto I. Sin dungeon. Here wear First Strike weapons you've purchased
before and customized when I advised you to. Capturable monsters found here are
Exoray, Wraith, Geminis (there's two kinds!), Demonolith, Great Malboro,
Barbatos, Adamantoise and King Behemoth. After all of this stuff us yours,
Abaddon is now accessible.
And finally O. Ruins. Zaurus, Floating Death, Black Element, Halma, Puroboros,

Spirit (make sure you Provoke it or you'll be sorry), Machea, Master Coeurl
(capture one of these by all means!!!), Master Tonberry (wait until it gets
close, then unload on it) and Varuna. Capture one of each for Vorban. Now that
all area creations are unlocked, you also get access to Neslug.
Return to arena and get these prizes:
- for Catoblepas you get Blossom Crown (needed for Magus Sisters)
- for Shinryu you get 30x Megalixir
- for Abaddon you get 99x Lunar Curtain
- for Vorban you get 60x Designer Wallet
- for Neslug you get 99x Winning Formula
With this Step 1 of this informator is complete. You're ready for step 2.
************************************************************
STEP 2 - THREE SELECTED CHARACTERS LEARN IMPORTANT ABILITIES
************************************************************
It is time to choose the party that will take care of those nasty overpowered
enemies. As stated before, I suggest Rikku, Auron and Kimahri, all with their
fully powered celestial weapons. If you have Anima and Magus Sisters, switch
Kimahri out for Yuna. If you don't have Anima and Magus Sisters, Yuna will act
as a backup in certain tough 'events'.
Which abilities do I deem important?
Esuna, Full-Life, Hastega, Slowga, Shell, Protect, Reflect, Dispel, Holy, AutoLife, Steal, Use, Entrust, Copycat, Quick Pockets, Doublecast, Bribe, Triple
Foul, Delay Buster, Full Break, Mug and Quick Hit.
Getting the cash
- sell off all of the excessive weaponry and armor you might have collected on
your journey and you don't need anymore
- equip Rikku with her Godhand (this is her best weapon I'm sure you've gotten
already) or in case you don't have one yet, customize any weapon with two free
slots with Gillionare (use 30x Designer Wallet you got not long ago) and First
Strike
- go to O. Ruins and save at nearby save sphere
- start circling around here and keep falling into random battles
- make sure Rikku (and First Striker) is (are) in frontline party
- most of fights are VS 1x Zaurus and 1x chest (it can be a Mimic)
- make sure you have Rikku Steal from the chest; if it says 'Nothing to
steal.', chest turns into one of four shapes of a Mimic
- defeat this bastard and you'll get 100000 gil
- Rikku must be in winning party or you won't get cash bonus
- for starters you'll need around 4000000 gil
Getting the hard-to-reach abilities for Rikku, Auron and Kimahri (Yuna)
WAY 1:
- head to monster arena
- pay to fight Master Coeurl
- Bribe it 130000+ gil for one Warp Sp. (you'll need about 15 of them)
- now pay to fight Coeurl
- Bribe it 60000+ gil for Friend Sp. (need about 45 of them)
- get 99 Ability Spheres
- now use Warp Sp. to warp to Full-Life node and use Ability Sp. to have Rikku
learn Full-Life
- now have Auron use Friend Sp. to teleport to Rikku's location and use Ability
Sp. to learn Full-Life (do the same for Kimahri, Yuna, or both)
- repeat the process of warpin' and stuff for these abilities: Auto-Life,
Copycat, Quick Pockets, Doublecast and Full Break

WAY 2:
- slaughter heaps of Cactuars so that you gain large amounts of AP with which
you can cross the grid
- alternatively, you can kill lots of Great Malboros or Master Tonberries for
two huge AP boosts
- another alternative to get lots of AP is AP gaining trick (press CTRL + F,
type in A840A, and press ENTER)
- to get lock spheres with which you remove the locks at SG, you need to do a
bit of Bribing again: for Lv.1 Bribe Imp, for Lv.2 Bribe Behemoth, for Lv.3
Bribe Demonolith, for Lv.4 Bribe Chimera Brain
- the rest of the stuff is accomplished much the same as previous way
Learning the rest of important abilities
- according to abilities left (Esuna, Hastega, Slowga, Shell, Protect, Reflect,
Dispel, Holy, Steal, Use, Entrust, Bribe, Triple Foul, Delay Buster, Mug and
Quick Hit) you'll need 24 Wht Mag Sp., 12 Special Sp., and 12 Skill Sp.
- you can get Wht Mag Sp. by Bribing Dark Flan
- Special Sp. will be yours when Adamantoise is Bribed
- Skill Sp. are handed to you by Bribing Zu
- finding all of these guys is not hard, since we already captured one of each
when we were questing after area creations
- if in need of more cash, return to O. Ruins and continue slaughtering Mimics
Second step in accomplishing the task is complete. Although I've singled out
three (four) chrs, the others will get their turn once the selected chrs finish
their route across the SG.
*************************************************
STEP 3 - GETTING READY TO FIGHT SPECIES CREATIONS
*************************************************
Now you need to unlock species creations. To do so you'll now have to revisit
each of the 13 areas and capture following amounts of stuff in order to have

*********************************
STEP 4 - FINAL STATISTIC PREPPING
*********************************
In this step I'll prep you up for upcoming battles against species creations.
You should be using Rikku with fully powered up Godhand, Auron with fully
powered up Masamune and Kimahri with fully powered up Spirit Lance (or Yuna, if
her Nirvana is fully powered).
What I'll write now may go against the common belief, but... Personally I think
that it is MUCH better that you try to cover all existing stat booster nodes on
SG *before* you take on any of newly created monsters in the arena. Sure, if
you have Yuna and all her summons, job is easy in this case, but many first
time FFX: PAL players forget to get Destruction Sp. treasures in the temples
and are later unable to win it back cos of certain would-be-tough guys. I have
had that experience.
Also, I don't think that raising HP above 24000 HP is necessary. 20000 or so HP
is more then enough until further notice. Forget about raising MP behind 999 MP
- this value will more than suffice.
The below chart took a little bit of work, but boy, if I didn't have time...
I'll present a chart with starting stats of playable chrs:

Note: HP and MP are increased waaaay more cos of sea of HP and MP nodes that
are on SG. But where are those additional HP and MP, you ask? You need Break HP
Limit and Break MP Limit armor abilities for that. Don't worry tho', game
remembers all HP and MP. When you get those two abilities I mentioned, HP and
MP will be properly displayed. With all HP nodes on SG activated chrs' HP end
up somewhere around 20000 (when Tidus reached 9999, I counted 51 more HP nodes
before they were all activated).
Now I'll provide the stats your chrs can have when all of the existing stat
nodes have been activated, not counting the spheres you may have gotten and
used already.

This looks much better than before, but when comparing these stats to those of
standard SG, you'll notice that stat increases are smaller.
After everything is covered, ie all abilities learned, all stat nodes activated
and all Lock nodes removed, you will have 277 empty nodes left. Memorize this
number and in the continuing lines you will see how to best employ them. First
we'll want to max Strength.
*****************************
STEP 5 - FIRST ARMOR PREPPING
*****************************
Make three armors (purchase them from Wantz in Macalania forest) for Auron,
Rikku and Kimahri (or Yuna) with Auto-Haste (Bribe Machea for Chocobo Wings),
Auto-Protect (defeat Fafnir, steal from Tanket for Light Curtains) and AutoPhoenix (Bribe Ghost for Mega Phoenixes).
First armor is prepped and ready to use. So equip Rikku with Godhand, Auron
with Masamune and Kimahri with Spirit Lance (Yuna with Nirvana) - all these
weapons must be fully powered up. Don't forget to equip newly created armors!
Also remember that Kimahri's and Rikku's best weapons deal more damage at full
HP, whilst Auron's deals more damage, lower he is on HP.
************************
STEP 6 - MAXING STRENGTH
************************
Increase
needs to
drops 1x
36, Step

Strength first. You'll need to waste Juggernaut. He has 1200000 HP and


be dealt a finishing blow over 15000 damage to get an Overkill. He
Strength Sp. (2x for Overkill). For strategy on him look into section
6.

POST-JUGGERNAUT-BATTLE-SPHERE-GRID-INFORMATOR
- Lowest Str stat is 161 of Lulu and Yuna. This means you're gonna need 24
Strength Sp. in order to reach max Str stat for all seven chrs. Proceed in
killing Jugi until you have that much. Lay waste upon SG using 24 Strength Sp.
you've just received and Str stat for all chrs is at 255 finally. If you need
lots of Power Sp. fast, engage in battle against Kottos, feed him one Power
Distiller and Overkill him to receive 40x Power Sp.
- Empty nodes remaining: 253 empty nodes.
- Next stat target: Defence
- but uhhh, there is an obstacle in the way, as Tanket causes Berserk... before
you nail him, we'll need another armor piece
***************************
BY-STEP 6 - FAFNIR OVERKILL
***************************
Fafnir is another creation that has set attack pattern, therefore this is why I
recommend fighting it for Light Curtains (you need those for Auto-Protect). He
has 1100000 HP and needs to be dealt finishing blow worth over 13000 in order

to get Overkill. He drops 20x Light Curtain (40x for Overkill). For strategy on
him look into section 36, By-step 6.
***************************
STEP 7 - SECOND ARMOR PIECE
***************************
Purchase another three armors from Wantz / defeat Adamantoise (or Varuna) to
receive empty 4-slot armor. Buying from Rin on airship is not recommended
anymore, so I urge you to resort to these two ways.
What shall we integrate in this armor? This time we have four slots to work
around with. In one integrate Auto-Haste (Bribe Machea for Chocobo Wings), in
second Deathproof (Bribe Epaaj for Farplane Winds), in third Berserkproof
(Bribe Raldo for Hypello Potions), in fourth Confuseproof (Bribe Floating Eye
for Musks). This armor will help us in getting Defence and Agility to the max.
IMPORTANT: Purchase additional armor piece for Auron! Extremely important! In
first slot integrate Ribbon using 99x Dark Matters you got if you were bothered
enough to unlock Ultima Buster. If you don't have them yet, or have
insifficient amount of them, save them for later.
***********************
STEP 8 - MAXING DEFENCE
***********************
For Defence maxing make sure you equip armor which we lastly created, ie the
one containing Deathproof, Berserkproof and Confuseproof, as you need to fight
Berserk inflicting Tanket.
He has 900000 HP and needs to be dealt finishing blow worth over 10000 in order
to get Overkill. He drops 1x Defence Sp. (2x for Overkill). For strategy on him
look into section 36, Step 8.
POST-TANKET-BATTLE-SPHERE-GRID-INFORMATOR
- Lowest Def stat is 136 of Yuna. This means you're gonna need 30 Defence Sp.
in order to reach max Def stat for all seven chrs. Proceed in killing Tanket
until you have that much. Lay waste upon SG using 30 Defence Sp. you've just
received and Def stat for all chrs is at 255 finally. If you need lots of Power
Sp. fast, engage in battle against Kottos, feed him one Power Distiller and
Overkill him to receive 40x Power Sp.
- Empty nodes remaining: 223 empty nodes.
- Next stat target: Accuracy
************************
STEP 9 - MAXING ACCURACY
************************
For Accuracy maxing make sure you equip armor which we lastly created, ie the
one containing Deathproof, Berserkproof and Confuseproof. For this battle
Deathproof and Confuseproof will be helpful.
Hornet has 620000 HP and needs to be dealt finishing blow worth 99999 in order
to get Overkill. He drops 1x Accuracy Sp. (2x for Overkill). For strategy on
him look into section 36, Step 9.
POST-HORNET-BATTLE-SPHERE-GRID-INFORMATOR
- Lowest Acc stat is 70 of Lulu and Yuna. This means you're gonna need 47
Accuracy Sp. in order to reach max Acc stat for all seven chrs. Proceed in
killing Hornet until you have that much. After each Hornet battle remember to

visit SG to use Accuracy Sp. you've just won in order to improve Acc for next
Hornet battle, eventually allowing you to hit him with no problem. Also
remember laying waste upon SG until 47 Accuracy Sp. are used and Acc stat for
all chrs is at 255 finally. If you need lots of Speed Sp. fast, engage in
battle against Kottos, feed him one Speed Distiller and Overkill him to receive
40x Speed Sp.
- Empty nodes remaining: 176 empty nodes.
- Next stat target: Agility
************************
STEP 10 - MAXING AGILITY
************************
For Agility maxing make sure you equip armor which we lastly created, ie the
one containing Deathproof, Berserkproof and Confuseproof. Confuseproof will
take care of nasty things.
Warning! Currently Fenrir is faster than all of your chrs... or is he? Thanks
to Auto-Haste you're ensured that your chrs will be getting one or two turns
for each of Fenrir's. He has 850000 HP and needs to be dealt finishing blow
worth 99999 in order to get Overkill. He drops 1x Agility Sp. (2x for
Overkill). For strategy on him look into section 36, Step 10.
POST-FENRIR-BATTLE-SPHERE-GRID-INFORMATOR
- Lowest Agi stat is 151 of Lulu and Auron. This means you're gonna need 26
Agility Sp. in order to reach max Agi stat for all seven chrs. Proceed in
killing Fenrir until you have that much. After each Fenrir battle remember to
visit SG to use Agility Sp. you've just won in order to improve Agi for next
Fenrir battle, eventually allowing you to hit him more times he can imagine.
Also remember laying waste upon SG until 26 Agility Sp. are used and Agi stat
for all chrs is at 255 finally. If you need lots of Speed Sp. fast, engage in
battle against Kottos, feed him one Speed Distiller and Overkill him to receive
40x Speed Sp.
- Empty nodes remaining: 150 empty nodes.
- Next stat target: Magic Defence
- One-Eye has multi-target multi-status inflicting attack... news that you and
I don't like. Maybe you're thinking that we'll create new armor for him. If you
want to, go for it. I'll provide another section dedicated to creating armor
piece just for One-Eye battles. For those that would like to skip making
another armor, I have a little trick as well.
******************************
BY-STEP 10 - THIRD ARMOR PIECE
******************************
One-Eye's Shockwave inflicts magic type damage along with Confuse, Sleep,
Silence, Darkness and Slow. Silence and Darkness are hardly of being dangerous,
but we need to take care of other three.
Head to Wantz's again and purchase another three armors with four empty slots.
In the slots input Confuseproof (Bribe Floating Eyes for Musks), Sleepproof
(Bribe Skoll for Dream Powders) and Slowproof (Bribe Mushussu for Gold
Hourglasses). Leave fourth slot empty for now. Why not Auto-Haste instead of
Slowproof? I think it's a waste. Your chrs have 255 Agi and when you compare
this to One-Eye's Agi of 38, it makes you laugh.
******************************
STEP 11 - MAXING MAGIC DEFENCE
******************************

For Magic Defence maxing make sure you equip armor which we lastly created, ie
the one containing Slowproof, Sleepproof and Confuseproof, or make sure Auron
is equipped with Masamune.
Warning! One-Eye has extremely high probability of ambushing you, in which case
you will get struck with Shockwave (injects Confuse, Sleep, Silence, Darkness
and Slow). One-Eye has 150000 HP and needs to be dealt finishing blow worth
over 15000 in order to get Overkill. He drops 1x Magic Defence Sp. (2x for
Overkill). For strategy on him look into section 36, Step 11.
POST-ONE-EYE-BATTLE-SPHERE-GRID-INFORMATOR
- Lowest Mdef stat is 122. Strangely, all boys have that much. This means
you're gonna need 34 Magic Defence Sp. in order to reach max Mdef stat for all
seven chrs. Proceed in killing One-Eye until you have that much. After each
One-Eye battle remember to visit SG to use Magic Defence Sp. you've just won in
order to improve Mdef for next One-Eye battle, slowly but surely decreasing the
damage he can do to you with Shockwave. Also remember laying waste upon SG
until 32 Magic Defence Sp. are used and Mdef stat for all chrs is at 255
finally. If you need lots of Mana Sp. fast, engage in battle against Kottos,
feed him one Mana Distiller and Overkill him to receive 40x Mana Sp.
- Empty nodes remaining: 116 empty nodes.
- Next stat target: Evasion
IMPORTANT: One-Eye can be your richest cash-cow so far. He frequently drops
three slotted Triple AP weapons, which can be sold for 67000+ gil. Since you
can dispose of him in two attacks, I'd recommend switching to this money
earning, as I bet you're tired of seeing Mimics already.
************************
STEP 12 - MAXING EVASION
************************
For Evasion maxing equip first armor we created, ie the one containing AutoPhoenix, Auto-Haste and Auto-Protect.
Pteryx also has extremely high probability of ambushing you, in which case you
will get struck with Beak of Woe (Curses!). Pteryx has 100000 HP and needs to
be dealt finishing blow worth 99999 in order to get Overkill. He drops 1x
Evasion Sp. (2x for Overkill). For strategy on him look into section 36, Step
12.
POST-PTERYX-BATTLE-SPHERE-GRID-INFORMATOR
- Lowest Eva stat is 117. Rikku, Auron, Wakka and Kimahri are guilty. This
means you're gonna need 35 Evasion Sp. in order to reach max Eva stat for all
seven chrs. Proceed in killing Pteryx until you have that much. Remember laying
waste upon SG until 32 Evasion Sp. are used and Eva stat for all chrs is at 255
finally. If you need lots of Speed Sp. fast, engage in battle against Kottos,
feed him one Speed Distiller and Overkill him to receive 40x Speed Sp.
- Empty nodes remaining: 81 empty nodes.
- Next stat target: Luck
- Why Luck next and not Magic? Personally I think Magic is completely useless
stat to max in FFX. You will fight toughest enemies of the game with pure
strength and skills that involve raw power. Rare occassions that will force you
to rely on magic power will be narrowed down to reviving with Life or FullLife, curing status ailments with Esuna or Dispel, and maybe occassional
Hastega or Slowga. But you know, there are other ways that do the job better,
you just need time and will to know where to look for it. Casting attack magic
is fairly useless for two things: it doesn't pay off as toughest enemies have

high magic defence and I don't want to see Ultima for x-times, where x equals
split infinity. I forgot to add that you need to fight Jumbo Flan in order to
get Magic Sp. It's 'pure' coincidence he can only be damaged by magic. No
thanks, I'll pass on that. That's why.
**************************
STEP 13 - PART-MAXING LUCK
**************************
Yep, you read correctly. After all 255 you've seen Luck will be raised only
partly until further notice. There are two reasons to do this: You need to
fight Greater Sp. for Luck Sp. and Earth Eater for Fortune Sp. Furthermore, you
need one Fortune Sp. per one activation of Luck +4 node. Meaning? One Luck +4
node can only be fully activated with 7 Fortune Sp. Man, imagine the number of
Earth Eaters you'll have to kill.
Getting Luck Spheres
You'll need to engage VS Greater Sphere. While I have an easy strat for him,
you'll get bored easily, so make sure you're listening to some music. For
starters I would like to aim for 100 Luck stat for three chrs (or four... you
know, Yuna and Kimahri stuff, blah blah), just enough that you have little to
no problems wasting first four dark aeons.
Equip first armor we created prior to battle, ie the one containing AutoPhoenix, Auto-Haste and Auto-Protect. Greater Sphere packs 1500000 HP, with
99999 worth of damage counting for an Overkill. He drops 1x Luck Sphere (2x for
an Overkill). For strategy on him look into section 36, Step 13.
Getting Fortune Spheres...?
I really really don't recommend doing this if you don't have Tidus or Wakka
with their fully powered best weapons. Multi-hit overdrives are a must against
Earth Eater. He can be killed with chrs I suggested to use throughout maxingthe-stats process, ie Rikku, Auron and Kimahri, but it'll take another millenia
before you gather enough Fortune Spheres. Unfortunately, you will have to deck
few Earth Eaters in order to get Fortune Sp., needed to activate Luck nodes.
Getting Attribute Spheres
Again we take shelter in Bribing. You will need 34 Attribute Sp. in case Yuna
can already be part of battle party with fully powered Nirvana, or 51 Attribute
Sp. in case Yuna can't be part of battle party yet. Enemy to look for is
Maelspike, who can be Bribed for Attribute Sp. You will need about 8000000 gil
for this small feast (kill One-Eye and then sell weapons he drops or fight
Mimics in O. Ruins; additionally sell off all weapons and armors you got from
fighting previous creations). Bribe Maelspike with 100001 gil and then keep
giving it 1 gil until it goes away. Of course remember to save before any
Bribes are made.
POST-GREATER-SPHERE-AND-MAELSPIKE-BATTLE-SPHERE-GRID-INFORMATOR
- We'll raise Yuna's, Kimahri's, Rikku's and Auron's Luck to 100 with 18 Luck
Sp. you'll need to wrestle from Greater Sphere. Then have one of those chrs use
one Fortune Sp. for each Luck node that was newly created, and have the rest of
chrs use Attribute Sp. to activate the nodes. Luck is now 100, enough to waste
Dark Valefor and Dark Shiva with a little to no difficulty.
- Empty nodes remaining: 63 empty nodes.
***************************************
STEP 14 - YUNA 'ALMOST' ENTERS THE FRAY
***************************************

Before continuing I deem it is now time that Kimahri will be forced to step out
of the field and let Yuna enter occassionally. All of her stats are now at 255
sans Luck and Magic (you don't need latter anyway).
First thing to do is enter the airship. Input the coordinates for Baaj Temple:
X between 11 and 16, Y between 57 and 63. Enter newly discovered destination.
Go up the screen and fall into the water. Kill Gesgaeno who appears with one
hit.:) If you killed him before, much better. While still in the water, swim
north to reach the interior of Baaj temple. After climbing some steps you'll
reach Antechamber with six statues.
Top left belongs to Besaid, middle left Macalania, bottom left Zanarkand, top
right Bevelle, middle right Djose and bottom right Kilika. By approaching the
statue it will light up, meaning you broke the seal for respective temple. BTW,
Bevelle statue will light up automatically, there's *no way* you could've
missed that one.
This means we can now get all of Destruction Sp. from all the temples (except
Bevelle one, which we were forced to collect in order to be able to exit it).
- Kilika temple, Djose temple and Zanarkand temple will let you extract
Destruction Sp. with no problems
- you will run into flying problem when trying to approach Besaid temple and
you will run into speedy problem when trying to approach Macalania temple
************************************************
BY-STEP 14 - WASTING DARK VALEFOR AND DARK SHIVA
************************************************
Prior to Dark Valefor battle equip first armor we created, ie the one
containing Auto-Phoenix, Auto-Haste and Auto-Protect.
Valefor packs 800000 HP and needs to be dealt finishing blow worth 99999 in
order to get Overkill. He drops 1x Dark Matter (2x for Overkill). For strategy
on him look into section 36, By-step 14.
IMPORTANT: Remember before when I suggested of purchasing additional fourslotted armor piece for Auron? You must have 99x Dark Matters by now, cos I'm
definitely sure you collected that much of them from killing monster arena
creations. Auron's next armor will contain Ribbon (99x Dark Matter), Auto-Haste
(Bribe Machea for Chocobo Wings), Auto-Protect (defeat Fafnir for Light
Curtains) and Deathproof (Bribe Epaaj for Farplane Winds).
Prior to Dark Shiva battle equip first armor piece we created, ie one
containing Auto-Haste, Auto-Protect and Auto-Phoenix. Equip Auron with lastly
created armor!!! Don't attempt to fight Dark Shiva without that armor.
She's fast! That's why you need 255 Agiliti and Auto-Haste. Following is info
on damage estimates done to party at max stats without Shell and Protect in
place: 'kick' deals 6000 damage, Heavenly Strike deals about 10000 damage, and
Diamond Dust 85000 damage to all (cannot be halved in any way). She's also
dangerous cos of her Quick Hit ability, as you will see in CTB window when in
battle against her.
Guado attack! Run from these guys all the way to the right so that you enter
screen called 'Lake Macalania: Crevasse'. Once here, return to Macalania temple
entrance and you can now enter without problem.
All of the Destruction Sp. have been collected! Now return to Baaj temple and
grab your Anima.
******************************************
STEP 15 - YUNA ENTERS THE FRAY PERMANENTLY
******************************************
Now that temple fun is behind us, few things await us. For Yuna we still need

to get two of her summons - Yojimbo (in case you don't have him already) and
Magus Sisters. You have to get Yojimbo first.
Getting Yojimbo
We'll visit Cavern of S. F. again. Remember Tonberry and you'll know straight
away where it is located. Go to very back of the cavern, where you'll meet
someone from Lulu's past. This someone will summon Yojimbo, who will engage in
battle against your party. Do I need to mention how pathetically easy he is
when compared to your 255 stats? One strike from any member will send him on
the floor (if only I could kill that annoying dog).
After the battle you'll visit Antechamber where Yojimbo will ask you what do
you wish from him. Answer something, then hand over 300000 gil and he's yours
to command in future battles.
Getting Magus Sisters
For these gals you'll need to visit Remiem temple (east exit from Calm lands,
accessible only with chocobo). Enter the temple and you'll find Belgemine. Talk
to her. Her too...? Accept her challenge, which is besting her in eight levels
of Tetris. You can't choose level eight right from the start, you'll have to
work your way up gradually. After you defeat level five, you win Flower
Scepter. If you got Anima, level seven is now accessible. Best it. If you got
Yojimbo, level six is now accessible. Best it as well.
This is it! Now approach the strange door behind Belgemine and you will be able
to enter. When Yuna exits, Magus Sisters are yours. Talk to Belgemine again and
level eight is now accessible. Best that as well, and finally say farewell to
Belgemine who will go where she belongs. Moon sigil is yours at last, meaning
Yuna's Nirvana is about to be at peak of its power!

STEP 16 - PRE-FINAL STATISTIC OVERVIEW

****************************************
STEP 17 - PRE-FINAL SPHERE GRID OVERVIEW
****************************************
There's still 63 empty nodes remaining on SG that can be filled with something.

One part of that something I suggest you pour into 38 Luck Sp., with which Luck
stat will reach 255 value (but it isn't needed!).
Yes, I am aware that having 255 Luck, Evasion and Accuracy is not needed.
Y'see, you can have one of the following:
- either you have 150 Luck, 255 Eva and 255 Acc
- or you have 255 Luck, 150 Eva and 150 Acc
... and you'll get roughly same results. But tell me, doesn't it fill you with
feeling of completion when you take a look at status screen and you see nothing
but 255? Well, in my stat maxing guide everything but Mag.
Subtracting that will come into running total of 25 empty nodes still remaining
on SG. You're left to do with them as you please, but many players go for HP
nodes (get them from killing Ironclad in species creation list). If you
absolutely must have Mag at 255, you'll need 28 Magic Sp. (get them from
killing Jumbo Flan). Hm, it appears we ran out of space.
*****************************************
STEP 18 - WASTING IRONCLAD AND JUMBO FLAN
*****************************************
Prior to Ironclad battle equip first armor we created, ie the one containing
Auto-Phoenix, Auto-Haste and Auto-Protect. If Yuna doesn't have it yet, make
one for her. For Auron stick to his Ribbon armor we have made.
Ironclad is a nice guy. He has a set attack pattern, 2000000 HP and counters
anything. He needs to be dealt finishing blow worth 99999 in order to get
Overkill. He drops 1x HP Sp. (2x for Overkill).
Now that we have a bunch of HP nodes, stick them into remaining 25 empty nodes
on ESG. For those that are aching in magic field, here's a brief entry for
Jumbo Flan. For those that don't care about magic, skip to Step 19.
Prior to Jumbo Flan battle equip first armor we created, ie the one containing
Auto-Phoenix, Auto-Haste and Auto-Protect. If Yuna doesn't have it yet, make
one for her. For Auron stick to his Ribbon armor we have made.
Jumbo Flan is not a nice guy - he's immune to any physical attack (funnily
Overdrives deal damage to him), and he can only be harmed by magic. He has
1300000 HP and needs to be dealt finishing blow worth 99999 to gain Overkill.
He drops 1x Magic Sp. (2x for Overkill).
POST-IRONCLAD-AND-JUMBO-FLAN-BATTLE-SPHERE-GRID-INFORMATOR
- You have 63 empty nodes remaining.
- Personally I'm mostly leaning onto having all stats at 255 except Mag and
Luck. Luck IMO is sufficient enough to be at 160. You will be able to kill
everything in the game with that stats. Yes, all dark aeons and Penance. True,
you may still miss with physical attacks against some of later dark aeons
(Magus Sisters), but I've done my best to find out strategies which allow you
to beat them very easily (for example, my Dark Bahamut, Dark Magus Sisters and
Penance strategies).
***********************************
STEP 19 - FINAL STATISTICS OVERVIEW
***********************************
First chart is based on my preferred final stats: all stats at 255 except Mag
and Luck. Leave Magic stat as it is (ie raised only with Mag +1, 2, 3 or 4
nodes already integrated into SG) and Luck being raised onto 160.
As you have 63 empty nodes left remaining, this means you need to get 15 more
Luck Sp. Subtracting that gives us 48 empty nodes still left. Fill them with 48

HP Sp. Lying below is chart with final statistics in these cases.

Looks good, eh? I very highly recommend this ending chart! HP and MP values can
be achieved by wearing armor with Break HP Limit and Break MP Limit.
Second chart is meant for players who want to have 255 in every stat. Having so
high stats they will, but at expense of lower HP. With 63 empty nodes remaining
(and based on last stats of your chrs) you will need 38x Luck Sp., 28x Magic
Sp. (you'll run out of three slots). Lying below is a chart with final stats in
this case.

STEP 20 - HALL OF MONSTER SHAME
*******************************
Remember before we become so powerful, you tried to fight area, species and
original creations, only to see few 99999 appear on your chrs who were KO-ed?
You will now notice an *enormous* difference.

****************************************************
STEP 21 - STAT MAXING CONTINUED (WITH CLEAR SPHERES)
****************************************************
In case you fall into class of people that likes having neatly organized SG,
you've come just to the right section. In here I shall guide you through
tormenting way of buying Clear Spheres, clearing the crappy nodes, installing +

during this 1000 Don Tonberries will get killed... Anyway, it'll be boring for
a while. There are few pre-steps you'll have to read thru.

****************************
STEP 24 - CLEAR SPHERES INFO
****************************
Clear Spheres are items you'll now be buying like mad, since we need to delete
many crappy nodes in order to organize the SG neatly.
First step in getting Clear Spheres is capturing five of every fiend. Doing
this will unlock Ultima Buster, as well as making Clear Spheres appear in Item
shop of arena manager. One Clear Sphere will relieve you of 10000 gil. Clear
Spheres can remove any node from SG except: Lock nodes, White and Black Magic
nodes, Skill nodes and Special ability nodes.
In next step I'll make another chart showing how many nodes from each stat
category you'll need to delete exactly, making necessary adjustments. Do not
attempt to delete anything yet! Take that chart only as an info corner to see
what you'll need to do.
******************************************************
STEP 25 - SPHERE GRID OVERVIEW BEFORE CLEAR SPHERE-ING

For restructuring this SG you'll require 326 Clear Spheres. It is recommended
you clear crappy Magic nodes last cos of Jumbo Flan's extremely annoying
ability of not being harmed by physical attacks.
*****************************************************************
STEP 26 - CHARACTER'S STATISTICS OVERVIEW BEFORE CLEAR SPHERE-ING
*****************************************************************

This part is of informative type as well. I will list here the stats your
characters would have in *case all of the crappy nodes would have been
deleted*. Doing so will help you and me calculate just how much spheres of each
type you'll need to get to install them into SG, thus making SG consist only of
+4 nodes. Anyway, first are stats with Luck of 160 and Mag not being touched at
all, the rest are stats that are left only with +4 nodes, and all that remained
are deleted.

STEP 27 - CALCULATING AMOUNT OF SPHERES YOU NEED FOR EACH STAT
**************************************************************

Another two-part subpart, I'm afraid. Two calculations have been done, based on
stats of each stat maxing process I suggested. First, as usual, will be stat
maxing guide with Luck of 160 and Mag not being changed (256 empty nodes).
- for HP you won't need any spheres, but you can accrue 164x HP Sp. if you wish
to have an enormous HP
- for MP you won't need any spheres
- for STR you'll need 17x Strength Sp.
- for DEF you'll need 23x Defence Sp.
- for MAG you won't need any spheres
- for MDEF you'll need 12x Magic Def Sp.
- for AGI you'll need 19x Agility Sp.
- for LUCK you won't need any spheres
- for EVA you'll need 9x Evasion Sp.
- for ACC you'll need 12x Accuracy Sp.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------This line-up shows amount of spheres needed in case all core stats are 255 (326
empty nodes).

*****************************************
SOME LAST TIPS FOR PLAYERS WITH HP GROOVE
*****************************************
Well, this section deserves HP shootout up to 99999 HP without having an armor
with HP+??% abilities in it... however, on ESG achieving this much HP will take
a lot of sacrifice.
If you take a look at stat maxing guide - 160 Luck and Magic untamed - you
prolly know what I'm saying from beginning... Magic sucks! So successfully get
rid of all Magic nodes - 45 nodes in total. Replace them with 45x HP Sp. for
another (calculates) 13500 HP added to current total, thus making chrs have
around 80000 HP already.

You're gonna need a huge resupply of 76 more HP Sp. in case you wish to have
99999 HP for all chrs... but just how the hell can you accomplish that? I don't
have any easy solution for it. You will have to sacrifice some of +4 nodes if
you wish to have 99999 HP without the need for HP+??% armors. Which nodes to
erase I leave up to your discretion.
************************************
STATS GO IN HAND WITH GOOD EQUIPMENT
************************************

I see you're still around. *thinks* What the heck did I forget to put down? A
good weapon and armor suggestion, you say? Why not.
It's a common belief (at least I get that impression) that it's good to have
enormous amounts of HP and MP as well as 255-ish stats. Well, personally I
believe this is not so. Let me explain why...
Having huge amounts of HP is not good. You will need to spend many turns
healing in prolonged battles (Nemesis and Penance, for example). Amount of HP
also directly relates to amount of damage celestial weapons can do (less HP
means less damage) - now imagine your chrs all have 99999 MAX HP, but their
current HP is 25000 or so; and compare to having your chrs have 9999 MAX HP,
but their current HP is 2500 or so - how many turns does each scenario require
you to heal? Latter only one.
Few sections up I made a chart showing damage area, species and original
creations can do to you once your stats have been maxed. With few exceptions
most attacks deal way less than 9999 damage - which makes having HP over 9999
hardly a necessity. Even for dark aeons you will not need that much HP (strats
I have for earlier dark aeons do recommend HP over 9999, but at the expense of
not having 255 stats).
Let's take a look first over armor abilities game has to offer. You can choose
from 74 different armor abilities. I'll single out the ones worth having.
Deathproof, Auto-Shell, Auto-Protect, Auto-Haste, Auto-Phoenix, Master Thief,
No Encounters, Break HP Limit, Ribbon...
Out of 74 we have 9 trustworthy abilites left. The remaining 65 do suck and you
don't need them.
Good armor or best armor? A tough fact, but there is *no* best armor. We can
make some good armors instead. Based on my experience in this game, you will
stand awesome chances against anything with following two sets of armors.
GOOD ARMOR SET 1 (meant for everyday battles)
Auto-Protect, Auto-Haste, Ribbon, Auto-Phoenix
GOOD ARMOR SET 2 (meant for prolonged battles)
Auto-Protect, Auto-Haste, Ribbon, Break HP Limit
ARMOR SET 3 (meant for anything status related, including attacks that bypass
Deathproof armor ability)
Deathproof, Ribbon, Auto-Phoenix, Auto-Haste
WHATEVER ARMOR YOU WISH
If none of these three armors I suggested suit you, feel free to make your own
preferred armor. What I do recommend is that you use abilities mentioned above.
That's all I had to say for an armored section. Only final thought remains.
*************
FINAL THOUGHT
*************
Stat maxing... With 1st November (how odd) this section lays to rest as it is
completed. Now on to other challenges still remaining.

=============================================================================
=============================================================================
38.) ABOUT AFFECTION ---> A837

=============================================================================
=============================================================================
Q1 - Lulu, dear, how about a date? Rikku, darling, care to go with me to the
movies? Yuna, shall we have a romantic dinner?
A1 - What's up with these, you ask? You may or may have not noticed, but in FFX
some of Tidus' actions and responses directly affect which female character
will like him the most and will reflect that in some sequences.
Q2 - Tidus' responses and actions? Which sequences?
A2 - I'll give one example for each.
--> For response: Before Yuna joins your party, Wakka asks you: 'Cute, ya?'. If
you answer affirmative, this will make Yuna's affection for Tidus rise. If you
answer negative, Yuna's affection for Tidus will decrease.
--> For action: In random battle have Tidus KO Yuna. This will decrease her
affection a bit. If, however, you heal or revive Yuna, this will increase her
affection a bit.
--> For sequence: First one that jumps to mind is snowmobile sequence. You can
have a ride with either Rikku or Lulu (that's the two I got so far).
Q3 - Can you list more examples like these?
A3 - Sure.
--> Just before you're about to get Rikku in your party, get past her (don't
get too close) and try going forward. Rikku will yell 'Wait up, you big
meanie!'. Oops, affection level decreased a bit.
--> Once you've visited the Farplane and Yuna is forced to choose from
Seymour's... uh, choice, repeatedly talk to Lulu and she'll warn you not to
fall in love wit Yuna. Answer that you already have for Yuna's affection to
rise. Answer 'You're more my type, Lulu.' for hilarious response by Lulu:
'Interesting. I suppose I could add you to my list. I wish you good luck,
little boy. You're going to need it.'... and increase in Lulu's affection.
Picking middle choice decreases Yuna's affection.
--> KO-ing Lulu will decrease her affection a bit. Healing or reviving Lulu
will increase her affection a bit.
--> KO-ing Rikku will decrease her affection a bit. Healing or reviving Rikku
will increase her affection a bit.
--> In Thunder Plains when Rikku is scared of lightning and moans about
spending some time in Rin's Agency, the rest of the party is slowly getting off
the screen. Longer you wait, lower will Rikku's affection be. Sooner you enter
the Agency, better off you are with Rikku's affection.
--> when in a position of talking to multiple party members, talk to female you
want highest affection with first
--> Tidus guarding (ie taking the hit instead of her) the woman of his dreams
increases that female's affection a bit
Q4 - I've read that depending on affection you can have one of females throw
the ball to Tidus...?
A4 - Yep. For Tidus' Overdrive Blitz Ace this is very true. Depending on which
gal has highest affection with Tidus dictates who will throw the ball. If Tidus
has highest affection with say Rikku, she'll be the one throwing the ball. Same
applies for Lulu and Yuna.
Q5 - I've heard that it is not always Lulu Tidus talks to when in Guadosalam
(after Farplane's events). Dat true?
A5 - Yep. I managed to get Rikku's affection be the highest at that point and
indeed another convo occured.:)
WARNING: SPOILEROOS AHEAD!
Rikku: Yunie's not getting married, is she?

Tidus: Seems that way.


Rikku: It's your big chance, huh?
*then you're offered three choices - select third one: I'd rather have you,
Rikku.*
Rikku (backs off a bit): Oh! H-Honest? (she then punches Tidus a bit)
Tidus: Ouch!
Rikku (jumps off to lower level): Syopa cusatyo! (translated: Maybe someday!)
After this convo you can talk to her two more times. She'll reveal more about
herself and her family, and how she dreams of having a big family herself
with... tsk, tsk, find out for yourself.
Added bonus: Just for an example I'll put down quote-by-quote of what Lulu or
Rikku say when they're riding on snowmobile with Tidus.
WARNING: SPOILEROOS AHEAD!
Lulu snowmobile event:
L: I hope that you're not too mad at Wakka.
T: Hey, not at all.
L: Thank you.
T: Say, what do you think of Rikku?
L: Me? She's... fun to be with.
T: That all?
L: Well, I can tell she's not a bad person.
T: Yeah. You know what the problem is? She's just another Al Bhed to Wakka.
Wakka's head is as hard as a rock. I bet it's because of Yevon. Or, you know,
something like that.
L: Well, there's more to it than that.
T: Hmm?
L: Wakka doesn't like the Al Bhed because of his brother Chappu.
T: Oh... he used a machina weapon, right? And got killed by Sin. Killed by my
old man. *thinking* Damn you, Jecht.
L *catches on Tidus' last words*: What?
T: Oh, nothing! *changes the subject* Hey... Can someone, like, a human become
Sin ever?
L: I can't say that I know, but why?
T: Just a thought.
L: Sin is the punishment for, and the incarnation of, crimes we have committed.
T: So, no one really knows what it is?
L: There's no need to know, so no one asks. You run or you fight. That is
really all you can do. There's no sense brooding over it.
T: What, that's all? I mean, you don't even wonder?
L *smiling*: You really do come from a world where there is no Sin, like you
say.
Rikku snowmobile event:
T: Sorry about Wakka.
R *tries to smile*: He didn't have to be so mean, yeah? I almost cried.
T: Uh... Rikku?
R: Just kidding! It's okay. At least you're still nice. *GO TIDUS!!!* Hey, do I
look like Yunie, you think?
T *acts confused*
R: Well, my dad's sister is Yunie's mother, you get it?
T: I had no idea! If you say so. Okay! I guess you're guarding your family,
then.
R: Yuna's not the only on I want to protect. We Al Bhed want to protect all of
the summoners, you know? Summoners are... Well, you could say that... they
sacrifice themselves to, well... to bring happiness to Spira.
T: What do you mean? Rikku?

R: Yes?
T: 'Sacrifice themselves'?
R: You know, the pilgrimage... It takes a lot out of you.
T: Oh, right. But you know, Yuna's real serious about being a summoner. For
Yuna, well the pilgrimage kinda means everything to her. You are going to help
her, too, aren't you, Rikku? So you shouldn't say that Yuna's sacrificing
herself.
R *hugs Tidus real tight*
T: Rikku?
R: I hope you're right.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

II - ARMORS
Getting a good all around armor is impossible, but you can customize more of
them. And cos you can switch them during battles to suit your needs, this is
not a big deal at all. Let's talk shop then...
#1 - STATUS PROTECTION
- Ribbon
- Deathproof
- Curseproof
With this setup you'll be almost completely protected against all status
ailments except Breaks. Yep, there are few fiends that can put Break statuses
on your members.
#2 - ELEMENT PROTECTION
- Fire Eater
- Ice Eater
- Lightning Eater
- Water Eater
With this you'll absorb any type of elemental damage done to you except holy,
which is only used by Ultima Weapon and Belgemine's Cindy.
#3 - HERO WANNABE
- Break HP Limit
- Break MP Limit
- Ribbon
- Deathproof
Lots of HP, MP, hardly dies, hardly affected by statuses (except Curse). Beat
that.
#4 - PLAY SAFE, PLAY SOUND
- Auto-Shell
- Auto-Protect
- Auto-Haste
- Auto-Regen
Takes half magic and half physical damage, fast as lightning, automatic
healing.
#5 - AUTOMATIC MODE
- Auto-Potion
- Auto-Phoenix
- Auto-Med
- Alchemy
With this you'll almost always be in top shape when it comes to HP.
#6 - CUSTOM CHOICE
- Ribbon
- Auto-Phoenix
- Auto-Haste
- Auto-Protect
----------------------------------------------------------------------------III - QUICK CASH OPTIONS
#1 - MIMICS IN OMEGA RUINS
As you may know, sometimes in O. Ruins you get into a battle with Zaurus and a
treasure chest. There's a 50% chance there'll be nothing in the chest when you
try to steal from it. If that happens, chest turns into a Mimic. Kill it and

you'll receive 50000 Gil. Coupled with Gillionare ability this sum can increase
to 100000 Gil.
#2 - ONE-EYE METHOD
Repeatedly waste One-Eye. Most
of which is already stuck with
67000+ Gil. If you're fast and
one eye (hehe), this method is

of the time it drops weapons with 4 slots, one


Triple AP. Such weapon can be sold for roughly
strong enough to waste One-Eye in two blinks of
for you.

#3 - KOTTOS METHOD (submitted by Anders B.)


Go to Kilika, buy as many armor you can, but make sure you have 6000 gil left.
Go to Calm Lands and fight Kottos for Healing Springs once. After the fight add
SOS Regen to the armor, then sell it. You end up with more money then you gave
for it. You can make 1 armor with SOS Regen this way. If you got Overkill you
can make 3 armors with SOS Regen.
In a nutshell:
37781 (price you get for selling it) - 6000 (price for fighting Kottos) - 2250
(armor price) = 29531 gil
With overkill: 37781*3 - 6000 (For fighting Kottos) - 2250 *3 (armor price) =
100593 gil
It takes less time then finding for money mimics.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------IV - STEALING RARE ITEMS
#1 - MASTER THIEF
You need 30x Pendulum to get this. Bribing Master Tonberry costs money. Beating
Neslug costs life. Winning with four open chests in Remiem temple chocobo race
will annoy you. There is one of a time option to get many Pendulums. Ultima
Weapon. When you get to fight it, Bribe Ultima Weapon for at least one million
gil. You'll receive around 90 Pendulums, enough for three Master Thief armors.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------V - WEEDING RIBBON ARMORS
#1 - DARK YOJIMBO FARMER
Dark Yojimbo is your man! As you may know, you have to defeat him five times
before he's gone for real. But, if you defeat him four times only, then save
your game, reset it and load it again, Yojimbo fights counter will be reset to
zero. Thus you can kill him additional four times. Need I mention that this is
a top-choice of obtaining 4-slotted Ribbon armors?
True, true, other dark aeons also drop Ribbon armors, but you need to reload
after each fight in case you didn't get what you were looking for.
#2 - BASTARD'O PENANCE
When Penance can be fought, equip chrs with First Strike weapons. Choose
Penance destination in NavMap. When battle ensues, go wild on both arms. Each
one killed will get you 1x Dark Matter (rarely 1x Master Sphere) and 10000 AP.
You can wait for an arm to be regenerated and then kill it again for additional
goodies. Once satisfied, *escape*! Don't let Penance kill you and your hard
work for nothing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------VI - MONSTER FIGHTING TIPS AND TRICKS

#1 - KING BEHEMOTH, CATOBLEPAS


As you experienced, Kingie uses Meteor as desperation move when it dies (and
Cato uses Ultima). And I was informed of a way to bypass it. How? Tidus or
whoever has Counter-Attack weapon should know Provoke. Hack at King until its
HP is merely a fraction of what it used to be. Use Provoke on Kingie. It will
attack the Provoker. As Provoker takes damage (or evades the attack), Provoker
will counter the attack and kill King. Great thing about it is that such kill
doesn't trigger Meteor.
For Cato have the person with Counter-Attack use Sentinel in order to guard one
of Cato's attacks. Once guarded, counterattack will issue, killing Cato in the
process and you'll never see Ultima.
#2 - GREAT MALBORO
These guys love to ambush you. But having a chr with First Strike weapon and
Delay Buster skill is your saviour. When in battle against Great Malboro, use
Delay Buster on it and you'll dropkick its turn faaaar down on CTB bar, more
than enough for you to kill it.
#3 - TONBERRY, MASTER TONBERRY, DON TONBERRY
To avoid their Karma counter, either let them get close for four turns (at
which point Karma is disabled) and then unload on them, or put them to sleep
(except Don) and then use magical attacks.
#4 - DEMONOLITH
To avoid their Pharaoh's Curse counter, shut them up with Silence Buster. Once
silenced, they can't use it anymore, hehe. So just unload on them.
#5 - BOMB, GRENADE, PUROBOROS, BOMB KING
To avoid their inflating and Self-Destructing, defeat them with counterattacks, as these types of attacks won't cause them to inflate. Bomb King
inflates as well, but doesn't explode in the end - instead he gains access to
Ultima. Hacking at him with counters will bypass his inflating.
#6 - SPIRIT
Poison Mist is Spirit's countermove to almost anything you'll throw at it. To
get around it, cast Provoke on Spirit and it'll start using White Wind on your
party each subsequent turn it gets... until you kill it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------VII - FULL OVERDRIVE GAUGE FOR FRONTLINE PARTY IN JUST ONE BATTLE
For this tip you'll need Rikku and any other two characters. Conditions that
are to be met are that all chrs know Victor overdrive mode and have Triple
Overdrive on their weapons. Start by having Rikku Mix Eccentrick, which doubles
the charging of Overdrive gauges. After that just have remaining characters
slaughter the enemies with Overdrives. Cos of Eccentrick and Triple Overdrive
your gauges will be full at start of next battle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------VIII - LATE BOSSES GO AAARGH IN JUST TWO ACTIONS
Here's a tip I've received from a contributor and which myself have forgot to
include.
You can pretty much kill any boss enemy in the game by using a Mix of 2x Wings
to Discovery (Bribe Malboro or Great Malboro, beat up Shinryu or win Remiem
temple race with 3 open chests to get some Wings) and then use the Fury skill
by Lulu. You can reach similar results with Wakka's Attack Reels, Tidus' Slice
& Dice and Blitz Ace.

Another contributor: Alternatively cast Haste on Rikku beforehand and then have
her Use element gems, which will deal 9999 damage five times - this method is
faster than waiting for Lulu's, or anyone's overdrive for that matter (sent by
cerial killer).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------IX - AL BHED RANKS ---> A850
As you progress thru the game, you can obtain up to 26 Al Bhed Primers, whose
purpose is to 'teach' you how to talk Al Bhed-ish. After certain amount of
Primers is found, you're awarded a rank. But ranks have weird names...
-

1 Primer found - Hujela - Novice


4 Primers found - Pakehhan - Beginner
7 Primers found - Typpman - Dabbler
10 Primers found - Maynhan - Learner
13 Primers found - Cbaygan - Speaker
16 Primers found - Hydeja - Native
19 Primers found - Unydun - Orator
22 Primers found - Medanyde - Literati
26 Primers found - Sycdan - Master

----------------------------------------------------------------------------X - ONE-TIME ONLY PRIMERS OBTAINED AGAIN? ---> A851


Thanks to many sources it has been confirmed that you can obtain few of
Primers, which are otherwise one time only chances, in Sanubia Desert. They're
scattered all over it and in this part of the guide you'll find out where. So
far two contributors were generous enough to send in the info for four Primers.
More specific locations (also supported with pics) will be added in later
updates once I get around to 'miss' them and find them again.
Primer I - Found in northeastern area of the Oasis.
Primer III - In the place where you found Wakka.
Primer V - In the place where you found Kimahri. However, this Primer can still
be obtained if you visit S.S. Winno's Bridge. Look in the lower right corner of
the screen to obtain this Primer.
Primer XIV - Found in Sanubia Desert - East near the chest with 4x Hi-Potion
inside.
Primers XIX, XX, XXI and XXII need to be relocated still. During my recent game
I wasn't able to obtain them nowhere ever again. Until someone proves me wrong,
I stand to believe that these four Primers are one-time-deal only and if
they're missed, cannot be recovered in the same game. The only way to obtain
them is thru compilation sphere.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------XI - QUICKLY ATTAIN ATTACK REELS, STATUS REELS, AUROCHS REELS, JUPITER SIGIL
Be warned. Quickly doesn't mean in five minutes or so, but in 30 blitz games or
so. Let's assume you haven't played any blitz games yet, meaning that your team
(or what's left of it) is still pretty basic.
I'm talking from personal experience here. I'll put down who I used for the
most of the matches and what did I do for the time to pass quicker. Also
important is the fact that you'll never ever have to use Reset Team Data
feature!

First you'll obtain Attack Reels, which appear as Tournament prize. Second are
Status Reels as League prize. Third are Aurochs Reels as Tournament prize. And
finally Jupiter Sigil as League prize.
I started to bother getting Jupiter Sigil and all of Wakka's Reels cos I was
annoyed to see Wakka being the only one not powered up. With one testing day I
got them all. Now I'm about to share my experience with you. You're welcome to
try it yourself if you wish.
For starters I waited until I had the airship permanently. I also didn't play
any games except the story-important one. First I wanted to improve my team. I
replaced all of the original members sans Tidus.
ATTACKER: Tidus is an excellent attacker, so let him be. For the other attacker
I chose Linna (found outside Macalania temple). PAL players might have problems
cos of Dark Shiva, in which case Wedge (17 SH!) will also be a good choice. I
really recommend Linna though, since she starts with Nap Shot 3, a shoot tech
which puts goalie to sleep with 100% probability, unless goalie can resist nap.
MIDFIELDER: I recruited Brother on the airship. IMO he developed in an
excellent all-around player. His speed also proved invaluable in most of the
games.
DEFENDER: I needed two players. I chose Ropp (Mi'ihen Travel agency) and
Balgerda (she's originally a member of Luca Goers, but her contract ran out and
she didn't resign, so I recruited her). If you can't get Balgerda, then I
recommend Kyou, one of the two guards on the bridge leading to Djose temple.
GOALIE: I got lucky once again and was able to recruit Nimrook (Al Bhed
Psyches), but Jumal will also be an excellent addendum. He can be found on Luca
Square, sitting on the bench.
You're not over yet... if you don't have Jecht Shot yet, return to S.S. Winno
and learn it by examining the blitzball there. Now you're done.
After I collected my blitz team, I closed in on nearest save point and chose
'Play Blitzball'... League was open, but Tournament was closed for now.
You need to play 10 league games before season is over. For tournament you need
to play either two (if you were seeded) or three games before season is over.
League game can be tied, but tournament can't. If game is tied at the end of
2nd halftime, overtime issues. Team that scores first wins the game.
Exhibition game can be forfeited at any time (you do need to have the ball in
your possession), but league and tournament only when you're losing and you
have possession of the ball.
I had to use few tricks in order to obtain all Reels and sigil in shortest
amount of games possible. I started by playing League season first. I *did not*
intend to finish first yet, cos the award was a crappy one.
Once league game issued, I let the opposing team score, then as soon as I got
the ball from Blitzoff, pressed Triangle and forfeited the game. After the
results were shown, EXP distributed etc. I was presented with two choices:
'Back' or 'Continue playing blitzball'.
I chose 'Back', since Tournament may have opened. I wasn't sure and didn't want
to risk having a crappy reward appear as first prize. Once I appeared at save
point, I saved the game. Then I chose to play blitzball again. Tournament
wasn't open yet, so I played round 2 in league. I let the opposing team score,
then forfeited the game, chose 'Back', saved, chose 'Play blitzball'.
Tournament was now open, but the prize for first place was Underdog's Secret.
Ugh. Soft reset and loading of lastly saved game. I checked again. Tournament
was open and the prize for first place were Attack Reels. Now we're talking.

Engage in tournament battles! If you're seeded, you will need to win two games,
otherwise three. Personally I was seeded. Set Tidus and Linna (or Wedge) as
attackers, Brother as midfielder, Ropp and Balgerda (Kyou) as defenders,
Nimrook (Jumal) as goalie. If Blitzoff's ball landed in Brother's possession,
good. Otherwise I'd wrestle the ball from opposing player's ASAP and pass it to
Brother. Why him? With 75 speed he's undeniably the fastest current blitzer.
This means I used him to swim near opposing players, who (in attempt to try to
get the ball) started chasing him, but since he was way faster I was able to
keep the distance with ease. I did so for all five opposing players and lured
them to my half of the field. After I felt it was safe enough, I made a pass to
Tidus. Cos all of the opposition was after Brother, I had free way to the goal.
Once I got as close as I could, I used Sphere Shot to add few extra points to
SH. Goal! If one or two enemy defenders still manage to catch up with you or
get in your way, use Jecht Shot to knock them away.
Blitzoff will cause the ball to land in opposition's possession. Now I needed
to keep enemy players away from my goal. After I wrestled the ball from the
again, I passed it to Brother, who again served as bate and lured all enemy
players behind him on the opposing half of the field. This time I passed the
ball to either Ropp or Balgerda (Kyou). Whoever received the ball, I steered it
behind Nimrook (Jumal). Opposing AI is so bad, that it won't come after you if
you're in that position. Uhh, this is getting annoying...:) From now on, every
time I write Balgerda and you don't have her, it means you should read Kyou.
Similar for Nimrook. If you don't have him, then read Jumal.
Now I used this chance to gain some free EXP by passing the ball back and forth
between Ropp and Balgerda until the end of first halftime.
In second halftime as soon as I got the ball, I repeated the exercise with
Brother luring the enemy players away, passing the ball to Ropp and then
gaining free EXP by passes between him and Balgerda. But to not let Tidus and
Linna stay without EXP, I switched Balgerda with Tidus and Ropp with Linna.
Second halftime was over, I was victorious and also gained heaps of EXP, whilst
enemy players were sulking with 0 EXP.:)
I repeated the same strategy for championship match and won without any
difficulties. Attack Reels were mine! 'Back' and saved the game. Next target is
Status Reels, which are league prize. I still had 8 more to go for current
season to finish. Damn. Beware now... most suggest to use Reset Team Data until
Status Reels appear as league prize. *I advise against it!!!* If you do that,
you'll lose all EXP, techs and players you've acquired so far. Although you may
consider that to be a quicker choice, I suggest playing current league up until
round 9 is finished. You either let the opposing team score and then forfeit
the game, or use my strategy I provided above for easy victory and then using
the rest of the match for passes between your defenders for easy EXP. Before
playing 10th league game of current season I saved my game. Engage in 10th game
and do whatever. As it ends, make deadly sure you choose 'Back'. Save your game
in DIFFERENT slot.
Now is the time where game decided what next prize will be. I examined the save
sphere and chose 'Play Blitzball'. Next league prize wasn't Status Reels, so I
reset and reloaded. I kept trying until Status Reels were the prize for first
place. This time I couldn't afford forfeiting too many matches. I needed to win
6 and tie 2 games, so that in the end I had enough points to be first place
finisher. With the help of my game strategy that wasn't a problem at all and
Status Reels were mine.
After I cleared another 10 league games, it was time to start aiming fot
Aurochs Reels, which appear as tournament prize. There was a tournament open at
the time I finished second league season, so I started to play third league
season. After third game of third league season current tournament got closed.
In case you don't know yet, tournament opens/closes every 5 times you open the

blitz menu, whether you play any games or not (unless of course you're already
in a tournament). This is why I saved my game right after I completed fourth
game of third league season. I wasn't sure if another tournament would be open
with Aurochs Reels as award. Well, it wasn't. But after sixth game of third
league season... Of course I saved after the game. After selecting 'Play
Blitzball' new tournament was open with a crappy reward. Six tries later (ie
reset and reload) Aurochs Reels were the prize for first place. I entered the
tournament and with help of my still foolproof strategy walked away with
Aurochs Reels. Now only Jupiter Sigil remained.
I engaged in remaining four games of third league season. Do not forget to save
after 10th game by selecting 'Back'. DO NOT choose 'Continue playing
blitzball'!!! Once you select 'Play Blitzball' at the save sphere, check if
Jupiter Sigil has appeared as league prize. If it hasn't, reset, reload and
check again for so long until it shows up as prize for first place.
Right now blitzball was growing way over my head, so I had to grit my teeth to
get thru another ten games before I claimed Jupiter Sigil as my final reward.
If I never see another blitzball, it'll be too soon. Besides borrowing this
Duke quote both you and I know this is impossible, otherwise this guide would
cease existing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------XII - WANTZ'S APPEARANCE IN MACALANIA WOODS
Wantz, O'aka's brother, is a guy who appears in Macalania Woods late in the
game, more specifically after Highbridge event. He sells empty four-slot
equipment. Recently more and more people have troubles locating this guy,
therefore I created this section in which I shall put my notes about how can
Wantz appear and if possible, what triggers his appearance.
In my most recent play thru the game I ignored O'aka on the whole line, except
for one time when the game forces Tidus to talk to O'aka (on the boat from
Kilika to Luca). I also skipped talking to Wantz on Gagazet when I ran past
him. If you do that, Wantz WILL NOT appear in Macalania Woods. You also aren't
able to find O'aka anymore, which is otherwise to be found in front of Luca's
Theatre.

**This FAQ is tested for the U.S. version of Final Fantasy X, and while many
things in one form or another may be consistent in all versions, some may not
be, and may differ from the U.S. version.**
**All tests on SOS Overdrive were done with critical HP**
Introduction
------------It all started from a question that was posted simultaneously on the GameFAQs,
and PlayOnline messageboards. The question was:
"Can I add Double and Triple on the same weapon?? What would happen? Will I
get 6x or 5x AP?"
Content
------First of all let's get some fundamentals down, because some people may have
problems in the first step. I will list the abilities in order of strength with
the weakest on the left, and the strongest on the right.
Double AP -> Triple AP
SOS Overdrive -> Double Overdrive -> Triple Overdrive
If you want to make a weapon with a combination of the above abilities that are
on the same line, two scenarios happen. If you make a weapon with an ability
and want to add another ability to it, you CANNOT go left on the table. It will
say Superior ability present. So if you have a weapon that already has Triple
Overdrive on it, then you can't add Double overdrive or SOS Overdrive.
However, if you have a weapon with Double overdrive on it, you can add Triple
overdrive to that weapon with no problem, but cannot add SOS-Overdrive. The
effects of combining these different abilities are discussed further down.
Second I conducted some tests. The tests were done on a Dingo in the Monster
Arena. Wakka was the character that would perform the attack. His overdrive
mode was set to Warrior. The damage done by him was 9,999. And obviously he
would Overkill the Dingo.
AP for Killing Dingo = 2 ap
AP for Overkilling Dingo= 4 ap
AP you get for Overdrive charge: 220 ap
Overdrive to ap: 220 + 4= 224 ap
Overdrive to ap + Double OD: 220 x2 + 4 = 444 ap
Overdrive to ap + Triple OD: 220 x 3 = 664 ap
Overdrive to ap + Double OD + Triple OD: 220x3 + 4 = 664 ap
Overdrive to ap + Double OD + Triple OD + Double AP: (220x3 + 4) x 2= 1328 ap
Overdrive to ap + Double AP: (220 + 4) x 2= 448 ap
Overdrive to ap + Triple AP: (220 + 4) x 3= 672 ap
Overdrive to ap + Double AP + Triple AP: 672 ap
Overdrive to ap + Triple OD + Triple AP: (220x3 + 4) x 3= 1992 AP
Overdrive to ap + SOS Overdrive: 220 x 2 + 4 = 444 ap
Overdrive to ap + SOS Overdrive + Double OD = 220 x 2 + 4 = 444 ap
Overdrive to ap (Toss Hot Spurs): 224 ap (Strange, huh? NO CHANGE with Hot
Spurs!! LOL)
Overdrive to ap + SOS Overdrive (Toss Hot Spurs): 664 ap (Works fine here!)
Overdrive to ap + Double OD (Toss Hot Spurs): 664 ap (Works fine here!)
Overdrive to ap + Triple OD (Toss Hot Spurs): 884 ap ((Strange, huh? WRONG
RESULT with Hot Spurs!! LOL)
Overdrive to ap (Toss Eccentrick): 444 ap
Overdrive to ap + Double OD (Toss Eccentrick): 884 ap

(Toss Eccentrick): 1324 ap


+ Triple AP (Toss Hot Spurs): 2652 ap
+ Triple AP (Toss Eccentrick): 3972 ap
+ Triple AP (Toss Hot spurs AND Eccentric): 5292

We learn a couple of things from all this:


1- We learn that Eccentric will always Double the overdrive amount, however HOT
SPURS DOES NOT WORK THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO!!! When you cast Hot Spurs on
someone, it says 1.5 x Overdrive. From examining the results we see that Hot
Spurs does the following:
No Overdrive enhancing weapons present: Hot Spurs does = 1 x Overdrive
With Double OD or (SOS Overdrive on weapon and Critical HP): Hot Spurs does =
1.5 x Overdrive
With Triple OD on weapon: Hot Spurs does = 4/3 x Overdrive
I thought the above was interesting, since it was obviously a GLITCH WITH HOT
SPURS, since the game itself SAYS 1.5 x Overdrive, when you cast it. :)
2- Superior ability trait takes over:
Double AP + Triple AP = Triple AP
SOS Overdrive + Double Overdrive = Double Overdrive
SOS Overdrive + Triple Overdrive = Triple Overdrive
Double Overdrive + Triple Overdrive = Triple Overdrive
SOS Overdrive + Double Overdrive + Triple Overdrive = Triple Overdrive
3- Best AP combo involves Triple AP + Triple Overdrive, and having tossed Hot
Spurs and Eccentrick beforehand, which results in:
(24 x Overdrive amount) + (3 x m x Fiend AP)
This is not really recommended unless you are super hungry for AP, because you
will have to use items.
4- Most efficient AP combo is using a weapon with Triple Overdrive + Triple AP,
and no Hot Spurs and Eccentric.
To summarize everything, I will end this with a nice nifty formula:
n=1 for Standard, n=2 for Double overdrive or (SOS Overdrive + Critical HP),
n=3 for Triple overdrive
m=1 for Standard, m=2 for Overkill
h=1 standard, h=2 for Double AP, h=3 for Triple AP
k=1 Standard, k=2 for Eccentrick
j=1 if (no Hot Spurs tossed), OR (Hot Spurs tossed but no Double overdrive OR
Triple overdrive on weapon)
j= 4/3 if Hot Spurs tossed, AND Triple overdrive on weapon
j= 1.5 if Hot Spurs tossed, AND Double overdrive on weapon OR (SOS Overdrive on
weapon and Critical HP)
Total AP= ((j x k x n x Overdrive amount) + m x Fiend AP) x h

Permission granted by Masamune3!

Part 1: Introduction
Much of this information is taken from my message board topic on the Final
Fantasy X board, so kudos to all those who were a part of it. Special thanks
should be given to good 'ol CB!.
Part 2: What is an ultimate armor?
An ultimate armor is the all-around best armor for every situation. Obviously,
you can't expect one armor to get you through the entire game, so for certain
battles (especially Dark Aeons and Penance) specialised armors need to be made.
Part 3: Where do I start?
First you need to get yourself empty 4-slotted armor's for each character. You
can buy them from Wantz at Macalania Woods for 100000 each. If you like, you
can try your luck Inside Sin and at the Omega Ruins to try to win them from
various fiends. But your best bet is just to buy them.
Part 4: Okay, so what do I put on them?
Now, for the business end of your armors. It can take you 5 minutes to 5 hours
to make them. It depends on two things. The amount of gil you have, and your
characters stats. To make things easier, you should at least be able to dispose
of Fafnir in the Monster Arena.
Now, what to put on them? The following is a list of abilities and their
effect, and lastly, my opinions of them.
Ability: Break HP Limit
Effect: Allows you to have more than 9999 HP, up to a max of 99999 HP.
Opinion: This ability is too highly overrated. With max Defence, there is
simply no need for your HP to exceed 9999. Not to mention the time it takes to
obtain enough Wings to Discovery to put it on everyone's armor. A waste of a
slot.
Ability: Break MP Limit
Effect: Allows you to have more than 999 MP, up to a max of 9,999 MP.
Requires: Three Stars x30
Opinion: As useless as Break HP Limit. Especially considering your 2 main spell
casters have One MP Cost on their Celestial Weapons. Use a Three Stars to
reduce MP cost to 0 if you must, other than that, don't bother.
Ability: Ribbon
Effect: Protects against every single status ailment, except for Curse, Death,
and the 4 breaks, all of the time.
Opinion: A top ability, however it is not always needed. My personal preference
is to have it on only one person's armor. Me, Tidus, cause he is the main
character. Not necessary in every battle, because not every enemy uses status
attacks.
Ability: Auto-Haste
Effect: Automatically puts the character in Haste status.
Opinion: One of the best auto-abilities in the game. A must have.
Ability: Auto-Protect
Effect: Automatically puts the character in Protect status.
Opinion: Another great ability, up there with Auto-Haste. Cuts down physicals
by half. Also a must.

Ability: Auto-Phoenix
Effect: Automatically uses a phoenix down when a party member dies.
Opinion: Useful against enemies who only attack one character at a time. Makes
you pretty much invincible. A must.
Ability: Auto-Regen
Effect: Automatically puts the character in Regen status.
Opinion: Worth considering, but it really works (only restores somewhere around
100 - 450 HP per turn) to be effective. Be careful if you are Zombied if you
decide to use it. Better than most, it should be given consideration.
Ability: Defence +20%
Effect: Increases defence power by 20%.
Opinion: Many people have argued to me about using this armor ability, so I
will put it bluntly, you cannot beat Penance without this ability (unless of
course you use Zanmato, exceed 9999 HP, or use Sentinel to protect against
Immolation, none of which are recommended). Couple this with Auto-Protect and
you will reduce damage taken from physical attacks by 60%.
Ability: Auto Shell
Effect: Automatically puts the character in Shell status.
Opinion: Not as useful as you may think, as it not only cuts magical attacks by
half, but also healing magic. Not to mention it is a time-consuming process to
give it to more than 1 character.
Ability: Auto Reflect
Effect: Automatically puts the character in Reflect status.
Opinion: Not great, because you will have to cast reflect on an enemy in order
to use healing magic on the Auto-Reflected character. It wastes turns and is
really not worth the effort.
Ability: Auto Potion
Effect: Automatically uses a potion when attacked.
Opinion: A handy ability, but not one I would use too frequently, good against
Penance and Nemesis, and is much better than Auto-Regen, but only if you can be
bothered to stack up on Potions. Extraordinary when coupled with a Trio of
9999, (if your max HP is only 9999) will give you a full healing without even
wasting a turn. Keep in mind a Potion is only used when your HP falls below
50%.
Ability: Auto Med
Effect: Automatically uses a status-restorative item when attacked.
Opinion: Complete rubbish. Doesn't cure the status' that need curing. And can
be deactivated in too many ways. Don't waste your time, or your Remedies.
Ability: Master Thief
Effect: Receive only rare items when stealing, despite however many common
items the enemy may be carrying.
Opinion: Potentially an excellent ability. It comes down to opinion on whether
you want this or not. If you Steal/Mug a lot, then get it for at least one
character.
Ability: Pickpocket
Effect: Steal or mug rare items more often.
Opinion: Don't bother when you can have Master Thief, which assures a rare item
steal 100% of the time.
Ability: No Encounters
Effect: Eliminates random monster encounters.

Opinion: NEVER PUT THIS ON SOMEONE'S ULTIMATE ARMOR! That character does not
have to be in your active party for it to take effect. Put this on a separate
armor (or weapon, if you got one from the fiend outside Baaj Temple), and equip
it when you need to. You really should have at least one person with this
ability on a separate armor/weapon.
Ability: Sleepproof
Effect: Always protects against sleep.
Ability: Poisonproof
Effect: Always protects against poisoning.
Ability: Stoneproof
Effect: Always protects against petrification.
Ability: Deathproof
Effect: Always protects against instant death.
Ability: Confuseproof
Effect: Always protects against confusion.
Ability: Berserkproof
Effect: Always protects against berserk.
Ability: Curseproof
Effect: Always protects against curse.
Opinion: I personally would not bother putting any of these abilities on *my*
ultimate armor. The only one I may consider would be Confuseproof.
Ability: SOS Shell
Effect: Automatically puts the character in Shell status when in critical
condition.
Ability: SOS Protect
Effect: Automatically puts the character in Protect status when in critical
condition.
Ability: SOS Reflect
Effect: Automatically puts the character in Reflect status when in critical
condition.
Ability: SOS Haste
Effect: Automatically puts the character in Haste status when in critical
condition.
Ability: SOS Regen
Effect: Automatically puts the character in Regen status when in critical
condition.
Opinion: These abilities are not worth it. Their parent abilities are 100 times
better.
Ability: Fire Ward
Effect: Halves fire damage; includes spells and regular attacks.
Ability: Fireproof
Effect: Nullifies fire damage; includes spells and regular attacks.
Ability: Fire Eater

Effect: Absorbs fire damage as HP; includes spells and regular attacks.

Ability: SOS NulBlaze
Effect: Automatically puts the character in NulBlaze status when in critical
condition.

condition.
Ability: SOS NulTide
Effect: Automatically puts the character in NulTide status when in critical
condition.

Ability: MP+30%

Ability: HP Stroll
Effect: Regenerates HP when walking in the field.
Ability: MP Stroll
Effect: Regenerates MP when walking in the field.
Opinion: What can I say? All complete crap. Never put any of these on an
ultimate armor.
Part 5: What about you Masamune3? What do you have on *your* ultimate armor?
I opt for:
-Auto-Phoenix
-Auto-Haste
-Auto-Protect
-Ribbon (Tidus)/Master Thief (Rikku)/Auto-Regen (Rest)
This concludes ultimate armor tutorial.

41.) GAME MECHANICS ---> A856
=============================================================================
=============================================================================
Information compiled & permission granted by Terence.
----------------------------------------Battle Mechanics Topic #1: The CTB System
----------------------------------------The CTB system works on a system of clock ticks, very similar to FFT. There
are, of course, differences....
Each monster and party member have a counter. Every tick, this counter reduces
by 1. At that point, anyone whose counter has dropped to 0 may take their next
turn. It is not currently known exactly how the game resolves multiple
characters reaching 0 at the same time.
In addition to the counter, every battle object has a tick speed. This is an
integer worked out from the character's Agility. Any action you take will be a
multiple of this tick speed.
When a turn is taken, it sets the counter to a value related to your tick speed
and the ability used. Each ability has a Rank that designates exactly how fast
the ability is. Lower ranked abilities take less time than higher ranked
abilities, and the progression is linear: a Rank 8 ability will take eight
times as long to recover from as opposed to a Rank 1 ability.

The CTB window shows the next 16 turns that will be taken, in whatever order.
It assumes that each character, when their next turn comes up, will select a
Rank 3 move. Rank 3 is the default speed for any ability. Furthermore, the bar
next to each character's 'turn' represents how many ticks away it is. With no
bar showing, the turn is to be taken during the current tick. A full bright
pink bar represents a turn 20 ticks away, and for each further color that is
filled, another 20 ticks is added on. A full bar of the darkest color
represents a turn that is 60 or more ticks away.
Because of all this, there are very few formulas required to explain all this.
We'll cover the most important one now: what the counter is set to when you
take a turn.
The exact value is:
Counter = [Tick Speed*Rank*Haste Status]
...where Rank refers to the Rank of the ability used, and Haste Status is
either 1/2 for Haste, 1 for Normal and 2 for Slow. Keep in mind that when under
Haste status, your Counter will be rounded up if a fraction remains. This often
results in abilities with odd-numbered Ranks used by characters with oddnumbered tick speeds being recovered from slightly faster than usual.
Casting Haste and Slow also changes the current Counter. A successful casting
of Haste on a character will halve their current Counter while rounding down,
regardless of whether they were Slowed or not beforehand. The opposite happens
with Slow; their Counter will be doubled regardless of whether they were in
Haste or not. Also note that Dispelling either Haste or Slow will *NOT* change
their Counter. Their Counter will continue to descend at the same high or low
value until their next turn.
Your tick speed is worked out via what appears to be a table. Your Agi is
compared to the table, and depending on your Agi, you are allocated the
appropriate tick speed:
Agi
= Tick Speed | Agi
= Tick Speed | Agi
= Tick Speed
----------------------------------------------------------------------------170 - 255 = 3
| 19 - 22
= 10
| 4
= 20
98 - 169 = 4
| 17 - 18
= 11
| 3
= 22
62 - 97
= 5
| 15 - 16
= 12
| 2
= 24
44 - 61
= 6
| 12 - 14
= 13
| 1
= 26
35 - 43
= 7
| 10 - 11
= 14
| 0
= 28
29 - 34
= 8
| 7 - 9
= 15
|
23 - 28
= 9
| 5 - 6
= 16
|
(Note: As of this time, Agi 12 had to be worked out from Buers, 4 from Funguars
and 0 from Magic Pots. The final three Agi scores (1 - 3) are extrapolated from
points 4 and 0, and may not be correct.)
From this, we can see that you will get your lowest (and best) tick speed of 3
at 170 Agi onwards. Higher Agi than that isn't necessarily wasted, but it won't
make your turns come any faster.
SPECIFICS ABOUT REGEN
Regen is very heavily tied into the clock tick system, more than most. Unlike
Poison, which acts independently every time the poisoned victim takes a turn,
Regen activates whenever *ANYONE* takes a turn. However, it takes its strength
from the tick counter.
Regen activates just before the next turn is taken, and it heals proportionally
according to the number of clock ticks that have passed between the turns. The
exact amount of HP healed is:
[Clock Ticks Passed * Max HP / 256] + 100

So, if you had 9999 Max HP and 21 clock ticks pass between your turn and the
next character in line (an enemy, an ally or even yourself), you would be
healed for 920 HP just before the start of that turn.
Obviously, the more HP you have, the more you heal. Also of note is the more
turns that are taken, the more you'll heal over the same amount of clock ticks,
since you get an extra 100 for each turn that is taken.
THE ABILITIES
As stated, your average ability is considered to be Rank 3. Here is a listing
of every ability the player can use in normal combat and their associated rank.
A few notes before we begin. The Overdrive categories sometimes have their own
rank that differs from the individual abilities inside. The ranks of the
categories are included for completeness, and appear to have no bearing on the
actual time taken to recover from an Overdrive.
Also, Summoning pauses the counter for all three party members, and sets Yuna's
next counter to Rank 3. When the summon is killed or dismissed, their counters
resume as normal from the moment the Aeon vanished.

------------------------------------------Battle Mechanics Topic #2: Equipment Prices
------------------------------------------The prices allocated to the different weapons and armors you find in the game
is very straightforward. The base price for the item is controlled by three
factors: (1) the number of slots in the item, (2) the number of blank slots in
the item, and (3) the abilities on the item.
The latter of these is the most important, so we shall cover that first. Each
ability that can be found a weapon or armor has a base cost to it. The base

costs of every ability will be listed after the mechanics have be explained.
The base cost of the weapon itself is equal to the sum of the individual
ability base costs plus 5 and then multiplied by 5. In formulaic terms, it is
expressed like so:
Weapon Base = (Sum of Ability Base + 5) * 5
The number of slots on the weapon and the number of blank slots on the weapon
each add a multiplier to this. This is done by the following two tables:
0
1
2
3
4

Slots: SltM = 2
Slot: SltM = 2
Slots: SltM = 3
Slots: SltM = 6
Slots: SltM = 10

0
1
2
3
4

Blanks: BlnkM = 1
Blank: BlnkM = 1
Blanks: BlnkM = 3/2
Blanks: BlnkM = 3
Blanks: BlnkM = 400

The final cost of the weapon is equal to:


[Weapon Base * SltM * BlnkM]
The selling cost of a weapon is equal to 25% of the final cost. In addition,
various merchants throughout the game will apply their own discounts and
surcharges to the buying cost of weapons and items.
As an example and a fun exercise, we will look at the Caladbolg, and work out
how much it would sell for if you could actually sell it.
Caladbolg has the abilities Break Damage Limit, Triple Overdrive, Evade &
Counter and Magic Counter. These have the base costs of 0, 4000, 2200 and 2500
respectively.
This gives us a base cost for the weapon of:
(0 + 4000 + 2200 + 2500 + 5) * 5 = 43525
Now, the weapon has 4 Slots in total for a Slot Multiplier of 10, and no blank
slots, giving a Blank Multiplier of 1. So the end result is:
[43525 * 10 * 1] = 435250
Finally, since we want the selling price, we divide this by 4 to get:
[435250 / 4] = 108812
Now, for the abilities and how much they're worth.

---------------------------------------Battle Mechanics Topic #3: The AP System


---------------------------------------There is a stat that we will call Total Sphere Level or TSLv for short.
It starts at different levels for various characters:
Tidus: 0
Wakka: 2
Yuna: 2
Lulu: 2
Kimahri: 6
Auron: 12
Rikku: 25
Every time you gain a Sphere Level, your TSLv increases by 1, to a practical
maximum of 101.
The amount of AP you require to reach your next Sphere Level is dictated by
your Total Sphere Level. The formula for TSLvs 0-100 is:
AP Req = 5*(TSL + 1) + [(TSL^3) / 50]
If your TSLv is 101 (or more, but there's no proof that it ever increases past
that), your AP Requirement will instead be 22000.

AP GAINING
During battle, each character has an AP pool. This pool begins at 0 when battle
starts. Whenever an action occurs that merits an experience increase, it will
immediately increment the pool.
Everyone in the party earns AP from a defeated monster *immediately* which is
applied to the pool. Double and Triple AP is applied here, not at the end of
battle. To be able to use Double or Triple AP, however, the character must be
in the current party and be active: a KOed character, for example, will not be
able to receive Triple AP from a monster kill, even if he is raised before the
battle is ended.
Overdrive -> AP is also handled via the pool, and Triple AP is applied to it at
the exact same time. Switching weapons to bring in a Triple AP *after* you have
accumulated Overdrive -> AP points does not work.
Once the battle has officially ended, either by killing all monsters in the
field or successfully escaping, any character who completed a turn in battle
and is still active is eligible to transfer all AP in their pool to themselves.
Any character that never took a turn will gain no AP, even if their pool is not
empty. Switching out to another character does not count as taking a turn.
As stated, Double and Triple AP are applied as AP is added to the pool; they do
not magically multiply the final result by 2 or 3. You must have the character
in the active party and with the weapon equipped at all points where you earn
the AP in order to benefit.
OVERDRIVE -> AP
Other than killing and overkilling fiends, Overdrive -> AP is the only other
way to accumulate AP in battle.
Your Overdrive meter is measured in percentage points, from 0 to 100. Fractions
of a percentage point cannot be gained.
Overdrive -> AP activates whenever you have a weapon equipped with it on it and
your Overdrive charges. It converts Overdrive to AP based on your current AP
requirement.
The basic formula for this is:
AP Earned = [Overdrive% * AP Requirement / 100]
For example, if your Overdrive is charged by 3% and your current Total Sphere
Level is 97 - giving you an AP Requirement of 18743 - then Overdrive -> AP
would convert that to:
[3 * 18743 / 100] = [562.29] = 562
However, Overdrive -> AP also has a penalty associated with it. In order to
prevent you from continually charging your Overdrive to rake in the AP, each
time your Overdrive is converted past the first time, a cumulative penalty will
be applied to it. This occurs no matter what Overdrive Mode you are in. The
only way to avoid it is to only have your Overdrive charge once per battle.
The penalty is applied separately to each character; if two characters have
weapons that have Overdrive -> AP on it, any one of them will only get
penalised if their *own* Overdrive charges more than once. Only the number of
times the individual character has charged *and* converted is looked at when
working out the penalty.
Charging your Overdrive on a weapon that does not have Overdrive -> AP is not
counted towards the penalty.
The penalty itself is a compounding 90% each time multiplied to the conversion
rate. The exact formulas for each charge can be defined as follows:
1st Charge: AP = [Overdrive% * AP Requirement / 100]
2nd Charge: AP = [([Overdrive% * AP Requirement / 100] - 1) * 0.9]
3rd+ Charge: AP = [(Overdrive% * AP Requirement / 100) * (0.9^(Charge - 1))]

Thus, the best way to get the most out of Overdrive -> AP is to choose
Overdrive modes that can give you a large charge all in one go, not split up
over several turns. In addition, there is no point in charging your Overdrive
more than about 10 times; by that point, you've already collected 65% of the
maximum amount of AP you could get out of this due to the compounding penalty.
22 charges are required to get 90% of the total amount out, by which point each
charge will be giving you only 10% of what your first charge gave you.

****************
III - INTERVIEWS
****************
Here you can enjoy nine interviews. Two are from people who did voices for
Tidus and Yuna, and seven are from game's creators.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------INTERVIEW 1 - James Arnold Taylor (voice of Tidus)
The character of Tidus is, he's a young aggressive, excited...young man. He
wants to be right always, he wants to be the hero. When I prepared for that, I
just drew from my own life, especially cos I can relate to the way he reacts to
things, I tend to react and then go, 'This is what I should do in this
situation,' so that's kind of how he takes life and takes...his life in this
game.
Tidus and Yuna, I think when they start off, they're at two completely separate
ends of the world, and they find out throughout the story that they have a lot
more in common than they think. She tends to be very calm and cool and Tidus is
much more aggressive, much more excited, he's ready to go and she's more of a
thinker. But she teaches him so much, it's really a love story between them.
That's what the essential story is, his love for her and him discovering that
love and vice versa.
I think that Tidus is driven by her being so calm and collected. It makes him
more aggressive and he seeks the truth even more and he seeks to pull that
excitement out of her. He wants to see her excited about things and as
energised as he is. And so, I really tried to give some... loving pushes to the
character when they're together to say, 'Come on, let's go! Hey! You know, it's
exciting!' and she said, 'Yeah, OK, I'll get excited but in my time.'
There's like 9000 lines of dialogue, which is really amazing. There is a lot of
dialogue, which is different from any other game that I've ever experienced. On
average, there might be like, for a regular animation, there might be 300 lines
total and 9000 lines... So many different paths to turn in the game and so many
different ways to go, there's so much there.
Well, there's some great memorable moments in this game for me personally.
There's a scene where Yuna teaches Tidus to laugh. Because he's so serious and
he's so set on his mission and he gets so caught up in his emotions. When he's
laughing, it was fun to do and it was fun to watch because we did that to
picture, I got to watch Tidus the character doing this and me adding to it.
That was a lot of fun and very memorable.
There's also some real emotional moments that are very memorable in it where
Tidus finds out some information about Yuna that is shocking to him and he has
to deal with it - he has no choice but to deal with it. And if he wants to be a
hero, he has to take on responsibilities and emotions.
They're new emotions for him but he handles them well and it's a breathtaking
scene, too. The animation in this... when I first say it, we had to stop for a
while where I was going, 'This is amazing animation!' I kept saying it over and

over.
I'd say to the people who play this game and all of the Final Fantasy games,
that this is, in my opinion, the most exciting, the most visually stunning, and
to take the time to go through and get every aspect of the game it could take
hours and hours but it's gonna be a lot of fun and it's a learning experience,
it's a growth. And, you know, not to sound corny, but you'll learn. You can
become possibly a better person because this character, Tidus, he learns and
becomes a better person. If you really get involved in the story, get wrapped
up in it, like most of us do, you should grow from it as well.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------INTERVIEW 2 - Hedy Burress (voice of Yuna)
Basically, she is a summoner in a mythical land called Spira and is being aided
by some friends on a mission to defeat Sin. This journey that she's on is one
that her father did before her. I get the sense that it's a generational
obligation, as well as an honour, and it gives her this sense of duty, that
motives her through most of the story.
Duty, respect, honour, these are the things that are important to her. These
are the things that I try to translate to the voice of Yuna as well, but at the
same time, retaining the gentleness and femininity that is so apparent in the
way that she looks. So, it was an interesting dichotomy.
I had to come to finding a way to balance those two aspects out. She's this...
gentle yet forceful presence. I wouldn't say docile, because I don't get the
sense she backseats anything.She's very direct, very forthcoming with her
opinions and her ways but she doesn't have to be aggressive about it, abrasive.
She does it in a way that leads others. She brings them to herself and to her
journey and that's evident with the friends that she has...her companions.
More so than lieutenants and sergeants and things, they're her friends. It's a
very familial kind of energy that she exudes. Tidus' character provides her
with a new dimension that we haven't seen to Yuna before, which is the romantic
dimension. It fleshes her out in that extra part of het that we haven't seen.
That's a little more humanising, too, because we've only seen her duty-bound,
her goal to free the land from Sin.
We see her with her friends being a little more human and a little more
personable. But Tidus really provides that... womanly aspect to her, the
romantic element that fleshes her out completely. I think you have to go into
it with an actor head because these mikes and this whole system is so sensitive
that every nuance to your voice will be heard and you can't make your voice
sound like you're thinking, you have to think and your voice will just do it.
It's a lot more organic, I think, than we would initially assume. It's even
something that I've discovered as I do this. So I try to relate myself to the
character that I'm portraying. In this case, I relate myself as best as I can
to Yuna - I haven't save the world lately, so that dimension escapes me a tiny
bit! But, what elements that are there, that are very specific and human and at
the same time, general and identifiable, I try to tap into those elements,
think about it from that perspective and then my voice reflects what I'm
thinking, what I'm feeling without even trying. So, when you force it, it's
obvious.
When you just do it, it's gonna be a lot more enjoyable for you and for the
listener. If I had one thing I'd like the gamers to take away in this movie's
experience, would probable be that - an experience. I want them to get lost in
the story and in these characters, to forget they're playing a game, to
participate like they're there having it happen.
I hope that through our voices, this animation, this story telling, we can
transport them into a completely different world... right there in Spira.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------INTERVIEW 3 - Yoshinori Kitase (Producer)
For FFVIII and VIII, the setting was sci-fi and many players responded by
saying that they preferred a simple fantasy world.

[Fantasy] They seemed to have a fixed notion of what fantasy means to them, and
to them, it consisted of a medieval European world. I wanted to change that
idea. I wanted to expand the definition of what the players thought the word
'fantasy' implied. Going back to a medieval European fantasy didn't seem to
help us advance, so while I was considering different world environments,
Nojima proposed the idea of trying to create a fantasy world that incorporated
Asian elements.
[Voices] Having voices in the game this time was a major breakthrough and
having live actors play a part in development made the characters even more
lifelike. Before, the characters we created were just figments of our
imagination - something completely unreal. But when a real person with acting
skills contributes their talents to those characters, the dialogue, emotions
and expressions become very lifelike. In this way, I think we were able to
create very realistic characters.
[The Theme] Journey is the main theme that runs throughout the story. In
addition to journey there are many hidden themes so I'm sure that different
players will feel more strongly about certain themes than about others. For me,
the theme of family - more specifically, father and son, father and daughter happen to stand out. I'm the father of two children, and so from that
standpoint, I can relate to that theme. But others might relate more to the
relationship between Yuna and Tidus. In this way, I feel that there are many
hidden themes that could surface depending on the player and his or her
experience.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------INTERVIEW 4 - TETSUYA NOMURA (Character Designer)
The main difference between this game and previous FF titles is how finally
detailed the world setting is.
[The FFX World] I made a conscious effort to not deviate too much and this is
probably what turned out to be the most unique aspect of the game compared to
the other FFs. When the world was first set, there was an overall Asian flavour
to it and there were many elements that were inspired by Thailand and the South
Pacific. These elements reflected the location of the southern islands, and the
Asian flavour was prevalent throughout. Since Japan also exists within Asia, I
wanted to incorporate Japanese touches as well.
INTERVIEW 4 (continued) - FUMI NAKASHIMA (Sub-Character Chief Design)
The aspect I concentrated on most was giving characters from differenet regions
and cultures distinctive styles of clothing. For example, the Al Bhed are
people who function in a machine-oriented society, so I wanted to make them
stand out from other citizens of Spira. I purposely had them wear goggles and
masks in order to make them appear strange and eccentric. The Ronso are a
warrior tribe, so I gave them features that would allow them to engage in
battle easily.
[Favorite Character] If I had to pick one character, it would be Keepa, a
blitzball player for the Besaid Aurochs. He is the only chubby player on the
team, so he stands out. That makes him look cute and that's why I like him.
INTERVIEW 4 (continued) - KOJI SUGIMOTO (Main Programmer - Character)
We gave the designers a little more freedom with facial expression so they were
able to include many bones in the faces. Any by doing this, we were able to
create much more natural expressions. Even the eyes move and blink.
[Playstation 2] It's been said that the PS2 is a very complicated piece of
hardware and that development is complex. That's indeed true, and it's taken a
long time to master it. But the harder you try to push the hardware, the more
rewarding the results. This is where the machine shows its true potential, and
it's fascinating. For example, the detail on Yuna's long sleeves and Tidus'
hood, specular shine and shadows - elements which were different to program
before can now be rendered more realistically, I think.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------INTERVIEW 5 - YOSUKE NAORA (Art Director - World)


At the beginning of the project, when the development staff was deciding on the
concept and world and throwing around ideas, [Asia] I noticed that many people
were interested in Asian-related themes. I was personally interested in Asian
elements, and thought incorporating this into a fantasy world might be
interesting. When I spoke to Nojima, the scenario writer, and Kitase, the
director, they seemed to share the same thoughts, and this seemed like it was
going to work. Like previous FF instalments where the visuals were a big
selling point, this instalment would also have to maintain high visual detail,
but also add new elements. To create these particular game visuals, our staff
checked every single detail to ensure that the visuals didn't look unnatural or
awkward. We also tried to make sure the controls were smooth to minimise
inconvenience and stress.
[Game Visuals] So I hope the player won't find anything unnatural about the
game. We consider a project a success if the player doesn't experience any
awkwardness or stress while playing the game.
INTERVIEW 5 (continued) - TAKAYOSHI NAKAZATO (Director - Map)
The world map appears in many games. I decided to abandon that notion [Reality]
and try to depict map system more realistically. So, we threw out the concept
of the world map in favour of a more realistic representation. In the past, we
had pre-rendered backgrounds, which resemble 3D environments but are in reality
just flat images. So to create the illusion of movement, we had to
painstakingly create each image, frame by frame.
[Modelling] This time, we were able to prepare a 3D model and apply motions to
it, so our breadth of presentation expanded considerably, I think. The map
seems ordinary, but if you stand still and look around, You'll find small
details like grass along the roadside swaying in the wind, or the clouds
moving. I hope you'll take the time to look around and enjoy these small
details. I understand that you'll probably want to finish the game quickly but
try looking around when you have the chance. It'll help us feel that adding all
those little touches was worthwhile.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------INTERVIEW 6 - TOSHIRO TSUCHIDA (Director - Battle)
It wasn't that I wanted to completely reform the gamem but I wanted to
incorporate elements that as a gamer playing FF I found to be interesting or
entertaining. This resulted in the demise of the ATB system, replaced by a
party interchange system. For example, there's a monster called Bomb that grows
bigger when attacked and in the end, it explodes so the player must try to
defeat it before it explodes. This has been a recurring element in the FF
series, but instead of just progressing through the battles in real time, I
thought it would be more enjoyable for players to take their time [The Thinking
Battle] and analyse how best to defeat the Bomb before is self-destructs.
We've adjusted the battles to offer a sense of satisfaction from taking a
tactical approach. So I believe that those who've tended to fight without too
much thought might now find a new way to enjoy battles by taking the time to
strategise.
INTERVIEW 6 (continued) - SHINTARO TAKAI (Art Director - Battle)
Each time we've created an FF game, there has been a willingness to change some
aspect or the other from its predecessors. For my part, I think I've changed
the way aeons are handled in this instalment. The world setting for this game
is highly developed, and the scenario and art consequently synchronize well.
[Battles And Scenarios] In the same way, the battles are not independent
elements of the game, and it was my intention from the beginning to create
something that mirrored the scenario, too. Coming up with new aeons was easy
and natural for me since I matched the aeons - part of the visual spectacle of

the game - to fit the world. This time, since Yuna's unique ability to summon
aeons was a key point, I knew from the start that I wanted to present scenes
focusing on the connection between Yuna and the aeons. I'm very proud of the
results and although the summoning sequences may seem long, they've been paced
well, so I believe they're enjoyable to watch.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------INTERVIEW 7 - MOTOMU TORIYAMA (Director - Event)
Until now, I only had to give directorial instructions to the graphics staff,
but this time, we had voiceovers and actors to act out the scenes. We then used
this as a base to create everything else; so in a sense, I finally felt like I
was able to do directorial work, in the real sense of the word.
[Real Direction] Until now, I had done my work from my cubicle, but I had the
chance to visit the studio often this time, where I came into contact with many
more people. For me, finding a way to imbue - as much as possible - the game's
characters with the realistic qualities of the actors was the main goal.
INTERVIEW 7 (continued) - TAKASHI KATANO (Main Programmer - Event)
As memory capacity increased, we tended to use it up. Since the PS2 has
improved graphics, the amount of data used for presentation also increased and
insufficient memory always seemed to be a problem. Planners' requests were very
demanding, so keeping up with that was the most diificult task for me.
Regarding the seamless transition between events and battles, since the
controls are completely different, the transfer between the two was difficult
to overcome. But the results should show the effort we put into it, so I hope
everyone enjoys the game.
INTERVIEW 7 (continued) - KAZUSHIGE NOJIMA (Scenario)
I worked on the scenario for FF VII and VIII, and the relationship between the
main character and the player [Tidus And The Player] is what I've always been
concerned about. I've wanterd to transform that relationship into something
new. In VII, the character was reserved, so I tried to find ways for the player
to imagine what was going through his mind. The hero of VIII was also reticent,
but I tried to get the player to feel more attached to him by having him
disclose his feelings, although the other character couldn't hear his thoughts.
This time, by having the character reflect on the past, we have two facets to
him: a character who moves through the game as well as a character who reflects
on the past. And then we have the player, who is in a completely different
world. I wanted to do something contrary to what I'd been trying to do before,
where I tried to bring the player and the character closer.
'What is Sin?' Whether Sin represents something... If I were to exaggerate, I
would compare it to the obstacles encountered in life, and giving up without
overcoming them when faced with them directly. This of course differs for each
person, but it can be compared to something along those lines. When I explain
Sin to people, they say it's easy to understand when it's compared to a
typhoon. In a deeper sense, I'm sure this analogy also applies.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------INTERVIEW 8 - CHIHARU MINEKAWA (Supervising Sound Editor)
I shouldn't be one to praise this title's presentation but I think it's just
fantastic. And keeping in line with this, I believe the same degree of quality
is required for sound elements. Since the overall production has grown very
elaborate, our job has become more detailed. We created even the most mundane
sounds meticulously, [Streaming Sounds] so they would flow smoothly all the way
through. The sounds I refer to are souns effects. For example, if you go to a
seaside town and travel from the sea to a mountain path, we've designed the
sounds to change naturally from one location to another. So it's possible that
you won't even notice such subtle changes. For the player to be suddenly
walking through the mountains or other new environments without realising it,
this was out toughest task. It was our goal to provide continuous,

uninterrupted sounds. If everything feels natural to you, we're satisfied that


we've accomplished our task.
INTERVIEW 8 (continued) - NOBUO UEMATSU (Sound Producer & Music)
If I was being demanding, I'd like the players to listen to all of the music. I
have confidence in my music [The Harmony] but I'd also like everyone to hear
the harmony between the sound effects, dialogue and music. That's what I take
the most pride in. The music is toned down and the dialogue is projected when
needed, and sound effects take centre stage where necessary. When music is
meant to be the main element, the dialogue and sound effects take the back
seat. I believe that the three sound effects complement each other well.
[The Theme Song] Regarding the theme song, my first concern was finding someone
to sing it. The Asian-inspired theme had nothing to do with the choice, but
since I was personally interested in Okinawan music, my staff and I looked at
various CDs of that particular region. That's when one staff member found some
CDs by Rikki. I had never heard a voice quite like hers and I contacted her
immediately. After that, I had the chance to visit her hometown of Amami
Ooshima and meet her several times. I had a certain image for the song in mind
but it was difficult to complete. The deadline was fast approaching, so I tried
changing my work environment to finish the song. I took the synthesizer from my
office and brought it into the reception room. After the girls at the front
desk left for the day, I sat there alone through the night, composing my songs.
After this switch, I was able to compose nearly ten songs in an hour. Any of
them could have been used but I took the one I considered best for the theme. I
completed the melody first, so I had Nojima write the lyrics afterwards. We
both celebrated the night it was completed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------INTERVIEW 9 - HIRONOBU SAKAGUCHI (Executive Producer)
After switching over to the Famicom (NES), there was a time when I wasn't happy
with anything I was creating. I thought of retiring from the game industry and
I created Final Fantasy as my final project. That's why the title includes the
word 'final' but for me, the title 'Final Fantasy' reflectes my emotional state
at the time and the feeling that time had stopped. They say that
technologically, it's good to keep going, and each time we give it our all and
expend our skills and energy until we can go no further; this is what I
consider to be the 'final fantasy'.
The stories and characters change each time. This is because stories tend to
limit a world and I think by changing these aspects and creating new material
for each title, we try to show our full potential. In a way, you can say it
serves us as a type of challenge for us.
[The Production Of FF The Movie] While we were working on the movie, the eighth
instalment was being developed simultaneously. From that time, I've been giving
input on hair simulation, clothes, and so forth. We use a CG tool called MAYA 3D CG software as well as original tools created in Honolulu, so I give input
on these elements as well. One thing I noticed while working on the film - and
this is something I've thought about while working on games, too - is the
importance of the pre-production scenarios, concept art and world. It's vital
to have several ideas for the concept and to select just one to shape into a
game or movie. I believe it is important for you to take your time during this
process and to remain focused in order to create something impressive.
[The Future] For example, going from Final Fantasy VI to VII, everyone was
uneasy about the transition. In making the jump to 3D, I had to ask myself
whether this was indeed a Final Fantasy world as we progressed. This time,
moving to the PS2, adding in voices and conducting everything in real time
brought its own share of anxiety.
But as I mentioned before, for me, the true definition of Final Fantasy is to
continue challenging myself. So, I'd like to explore new frontiers and move in
a direction yet to be uncovered.

*The Script*
~~~~~~~~~~~~
So here we be, the script! Read and enjoy, and remember to note that there are
SPOILERS!
^Camera in Underwater, in the viewpoint of someone, looking up towards the sun.
^
*YUNA*: 37, 38, 39, 40, 41
^Yuna bursts to the surface of the water. She can see that sky is cloudless,
and sun glare covers half the screen. She takes deep breaths.^
YUNA: (happily) Two minutes, forty one seconds, a new high!
^A shout is heard from behind Yuna^
WAKKA: Yuna! C'mon!
YUNA: Be right there!
^Wakka crosses his arms and looks out to Yuna. Yuna walks up the beach. It's
Besaid Beach.^
WAKKA: (enthusiastically) Pretty good at holding your breath now, ya?
YUNA: Not as good as you!
WAKKA: (embarrisingly) Yeah, well, I haven't even practiced recently.
YUNA: You sure look it.

^Yuna taps Wakka's stomach several times. A stereotypical "rubber ducky" (ie,
when you squeeze a squeaky thing) sound is heard when she prods it. Wakka slaps
his forehead.^
WAKKA: Eh... ah...
YUNA: (exclaiming) It's not like you're the one having a baby!
^Wakka turns round and runs off towards Besaid. Yuna watches him run off, then
turns and looks out towards sea.^
*YUNA*: It's been two years since then. I can hold my breath underwater for two
whole minutes now. It takes more than just physical strength, there's a few
tricks to it that you need to figure out. I didn't understand when it was
explained in words, but after a lot of practise, I finally got it. I'd never
thought there was any kind of trick to it. I couldn't afford to think about
anything back then.
^Camera Zooms out, overlooking the bay. Yuna turns and walks towards Besaid.^
*YUNA*: The Eternal Calm. It's my two minutes and forty one seconds and Wakka's
pudgy stomach. It's not much, just a quiet kind of happiness.
^FADE OUT^
^A large creaking door is heard^
^FADE into Yuna appears with a Yevon drape in the background. Camera zooms in
behind Yuna; she is at the door the Besaid Temple. She walks in. Wakka and some
man are talking to each other. They notice Yuna, and walk over to her.^
OLD MAN: (awestruck) I saw you from a distance at the stadium two years ago...
but I never thought I'd get to see you in person. You're as beautiful as
ever... ::sigh::
YUNA: Thank you.
OLD MAN: (concerned) I have a favour to ask about my grandson. He's joined up
with the Young Persons' Alliance. Now, not to say the Alliance is bad in and of
itself... but me and the missus are both in New Yevon, my son and daughter-inlaw too. My grandson used to come to our meetings, but one day he just...
There's a lot of young folks in the Alliance, so I'm sure it's exciting for
him, but still...
^Camera begins to circle the statue of High Summoner Braska.^
*YUNA*: A number of groups have formed across Spira since then. How should we
build this new world? What should Spira be like in the future? Everyone is
looking for their own path.
^Camera goes back to watch the conversation.^
OLD MAN: I feel that... my grandson and his companions are moving too quickly.
*YUNA*: With so many different ways of thinking, at times conflict is
inevitable. Some people are uncomfortable with the new way of things. Honestly,
I am too, sometimes... But this is good enough for now. That's what I keep
telling myself.

YUNA: I understand your feelings. But try talking over with your grandson. His
actions may appear reckless to you, but his feelings for Spira are the same as
your own.
OLD MAN: ::sigh::
^Camera zooms out again. Yuna and the Old Man are talking, but cannot be heard.
FADE OUT^
^FADE into at a flyby shot of Rainbow Falls at Besaid. Yuna is walking towards
the camera <away from Besaid>, as it zooms to the bridge. Wakka can be seen
running towards Yuna from behind. Camera zooms to behind Wakka, near normal
game camera position.^
WAKKA: (shouting) He-ey!
YUNA: Who is it? A visitor?
WAKKA: ::sounding tired:: <that run has worn him out!> Ya, you know how it is.
The village geezers are shooting their mouths off about that again.
YUNA: Who is it this time?
WAKKA: The son of the head of New Yevon.
YUNA: No way. I'd probably just end up being used by him.
WAKKA: ::slaps forehead:: Man... sorry, Yuna.
YUNA: I'll go turn them down
WAKKA: No problem, I got it. I mean, you don't wanna hafta see their frowning
faces, do ya?
YUNA: ...Right.
^Camera goes to the path, to see a young man, dressed in what appears to be a
Crusaders uniform, runs towards Yuna and Wakka.^
Young Man: Lady Yuna! ::does a Spira Salute:: Lady Yuna! I am Yeivel of the
Young Persons' Alliance! I have come today to deliver a message from our leader
Nurge!
WAKKA: She's not joining the alliance.
YEIVEL: But...
YUNA: Is that why you came?
YEIVEL: ...yes, it is.
YUNA: I'm not going to join with any group.
^Yeivel runs towards Yuna, but is blocked by Wakka.^
YEIVEL: Are you perhaps going to form your own group?
^Camera goes to Yuna, and begins to circle her face.^
YUNA: Please leave.

^Camera zooms around the bend, and Rikku run round!^


RIKKU: Yuna! Wakka!
^FADE OUT^
^Sea and seagulls can be heard.^
^FADE into Rikku's Salvage ship.^
*YUNA*: Rikku sometimes comes to Besaid Island. She travels about Spira,
teaching people how to use machina, excavating old machina from underground or
underwater... She's awfully busy, but she seems to be enjoying herself.
^You can hear Rikku making strange noises. The camera zooms to Wakka's belly.
Rikku is elbowing it cheekily. It makes that strange Squeezy Toy sound again
every time she presses it.^
WAKKA: Stop that!
RIKKU: Quite the tummy you've got now. So how's Lulu?
WAKKA: She's in the village. Come say 'hi' later.
RIKKU: Of course! ::Turns to Yuna:: And Yunie, same as always, huh?
YUNA: That's right. Same as always.
^Yuna looks to the sky, shielding her eyes from the bright sunlight. The camera
goes to an angled birds-eye view of the ship. Seagulls <?> are seen squawking
past. Camera changes to long side view of the ship.^
WAKKA: So Kimahri's still at Mt. Gagazet?
RIKKU: You betcha! He's teaching the Ronso children tons of stuff. He's really
quite the teacher! ::fumbles in her pouch:: Anyway, I got something from
Kimahri for you. He said he found it up the mountain.
YUNA: A sphere? <Movie btw>
WAKKA: Weird shape, huh?
RIKKU: ::with a hint of concern:: Look closely, Yuna.
^Rikku turns the movie sphere on. The screen fades, and fades back into
something which looks like what you see on a poorly tuned, but nearly there,
TV. Strange rattling sounds can be heard. Suddenly, bars appear, and a rattling
sound... And someone familiar is behind them... Sound quality is poor.^
Tidus: What the hell do I get arrested for? Let me go already! You hear me,
don't you? What'd you think if she was your girl? Who cares if I used the
enemy's machina? It was the only way to save the Summoner! What would you have
done instead?! Let me out of here! Let me see her!
^The movie sphere finishes, and the screen goes white, then back to the ship.^
*YUNA*: A voice... a voice that had been close by for what seemed like
forever...

WAKKA: What's this about? What's he doing there? Is that really him? What's
this all about?
RIKKU: I don't really know... but you want to find out, don't you?
WAKKA: Well, yeah!
YUNA: Yes.
RIKKU: Then let's go!
YUNA: Where to?
RIKKU: No idea! Let's go talk to Kimahri first and think about it then, okay?
WAKKA: But we don't know anything! <Wakka, take out the "we" and put in "I",
and you've hit the spot... :P My jokes are getting worse...> Shouldn't we look
into it a little first?
RIKKU: And just who's gonna find it out for us?
???: Leave it to us!
^Yeivel bursts onto the scene. As in the one from earlier. And just where did
he get that RIDICULOUS hat?^
YEIVEL: Our leader Nurge should agree as well! I'll convince him myself!
WAKKA: Get outta here!
YEIVEL: Y-yessir! I'll return as soon as something has been learned! ::Bows and
leaves::
RIKKU: I think that Yunie ought to go herself.
WAKKA: That's impossible.
RIKKU: Why's that?
WAKKA: The next three months are completely booked. Everyone wants to meet
Yuna.
RIKKU: And what about what Yunie wants!
WAKKA: Well, y'know... Someday, when the world's settled down and all...
RIKKU: Whaddya mean, someday!? What's the matter with you, Wakka? Yunie always
worked so hard, she should only have to worry about herself now, so why!?
Everytime I come here, I always think about how everyone's busy finding their
own happiness... except for Yuna.
WAKKA: ::shrugs:: Well, that's...
RIKKU: ::runs towards Wakka:: Has your head gone as soft as your belly!? Yunie!
*YUNA*: I... I want to go. But if I leave, I may disappoint people.
YUNA: I...
^YUNA has a memory of Tidus saying something from some time back...^

Tidus: Well, if acting grown up means not being able to say what I want, then
screw it! Nothing'll change that way!
YUNA:: ::nods, then turns to Wakka and Rikku:: I'll go.
WAKKA: Yuna!!!
RIKKU <Same time as Wakka>: ::sighs with relief::
YUNA: After all... this is my story.
RIKKU: Ha! I knew you'd say that, so I went ahead and brought some stuff for
you. ::runs to the door::
WAKKA: ::slaps forehead:: Oh, no...
YUNA: First off, we gotta get you into some new clothes! You're famous after
all, so you'd better go undercover!
WAKKA: J--just a sec, ya? Lemme go get Lu.
*YUNA*: The Eternal Calm. It's my two minutes and forty one seconds and Wakka's
pudgy stomach. It's a small and quiet kind of happiness... But... ::holds fist
to chest:: I guess I can ask for a little more, can't I?
YUNA: Rikku, let's get going!
^Screen whites out, a ship horn is heard... and...^

Q: Which do you recommend, the .avi one, or the .mpg one?
A: Thanks to Path2XTC for most of this info!
"Believe it or not the smallest AVI at 104MB (106,900KB) is the best of the
three at a resolution of 640 x 480. This is why DivX is ruling, it IS the best
ever. [I'll add that you need the DivX codec for this one to run, more on that
later -Mouse] The largest is another AVI at 174MB (178,542KB) that is only 512
x 368 and the subtitles aren't as good. The last, the MPG, is 143MB (145,903KB)
with a pathetic resolution of about 350 x 200 (I'm not sure on the specific
resolution, because it never finished downloading), but the same subtitles as
the good AVI." Yet again, thanks to Path2XTC for that info!
Q: Is it worth downloading?
A: It depends on a number of factors. If you have broadband, the real thing is

a lot better than this script. If you're on dial-up, like me, I would say only
if you really really want to, as 104MB is no easy feat on a 56k.
Q: Where can I get it?
A: I reccommend that you use a P2P (Peer to Peer) program such as KaZaA or
Morpheus. Failing that, you could look around on some FFX fansites, but I
wouldn't be hopeful, and I don't know of any. It also comes bundled with FFX:
International, but only in Japan, and there are no subtitles.
Q: I have a P2P program, but can't find it amongst all the other FFX stuff!
A: I suggest refining your search to movie files only, and searching for "Final
Fantasy X". And if you're using KaZaA, check the description to see if it is
the subtitled one. I've heard rumours that there is a non-subtitled one
floating about.
Q: I'm on a modem, how do you suggest I download it?
A: I would then reccommend a P2P program, as it saves download progress. If
you've found a website, I suggest using a program such as Download Accelerator
Plus. You can get these at download.com.
Q: I downloaded the .avi version, and it's saying I need a codec!
A: To run most .avi versions, you need the DivX Codec, available at
download.com again.
Q: I'm looking for a Real Player version, as it's smaller. Do you know of any?
A: Nope, sorry. Gimme a shout if you find one.
Q: I'm on a Mac, so KaZaA and Morpheus don't work. What can I do?
A: From what I've heard, the P2P system for the Mac is rather ****. I suggest
you try and find a website.
Q: What do you think happens after what we see?
A: I can't really say, apart from the upcoming FFX spin-offs are based on after
this, or so I've heard.
*Q: What about this spin-off?
*A: Well, in my latest edition of UK Official PlayStation 2 Mag, it gives info
about the new spin off, Final Fantasy X-2. It's getting a preliminary release
date in the UK as September/October, but you might as well stick another few
months, so Q3 2003 - Q1 2004. This is the extract from the magazine (Along with
a nice pic of Yuna!) "For the first time, Square is reviving the story and
characters from one of its Final Fantasy Titles, rather than ditching
everything and starting from scratch. Set two years after FFX, Final Fantasy X2 follows the continuing adventurs of Yuna the Summoner. The cheeky minx has
now developed a bit of Lara Croft attitude sporting hotpants (!!!) and a pair
of pistols: she even has a few action scenes, leaping across chasms and
climbing rockfaces, usually Final Fantasy titles merely require characters to
wander from one place to another. Exciting stuff for lovers of RPGs, not to
mention lovers of girls in hotpants." So there you have it!
*Q: Will we get it in the US? We didn't get the Dark Aeons!
*A: To that, I have no idea, but I'm sure that you will. And probably before us
Europeans too!
Q: Why did Lulu and Kimahri not make appearances?
A: Kimahri didn't make an appearance because he was on Mount Gagazet, and there
really was no need to include him. Lulu didn't make an appearance because she
was quite well into pregnancy, if you guess from Yuna's comments early on. It
would be akward to alter her character model.

Q: Wakka doesn't look fat! Why do they keep going on about it?
A: As with Lulu, there's no point in altering the character model.
Q: Is this a story-setter for the upcoming Yuna and Rikku spin-offs?
A: The "spin-offs" are set just after this video. The added ending which came
on the extra DVD on the Japanese International version is the prelude to the
"spin-offs". No-one is sure at this point, but I would think that this is the
scene-setter for the Yuna and Rikku versions.
Q: Why was it never released in the English speaking world?
A: Thanks to Angelus for the following answer!
Well, since FFX: International wasn't released until after the NTSC (American
Version), the voice actors who played the parts had no need to record this
extra scene. Although over here in PAL territory we received the International
version, we still had the American voice-overs, after-all it would be way to
expensive and kinda pointless for Square-Europe to re-record all the voices.
But, because the American production was already complete Square weren't
willing to get back the voice actors to record a 10 minute scene, and is the
main reason other territories did not receive the extra ending. It would have
been possible for them to release it with the Japanese voice-overs and use
subtitles, but this would have made it look a little cheap, especially as after
several hours of gaming, you're used to hearing English voice-overs. Instead of
making it look incomplete Square decided not to include the scene at all.
Q: Will Final Fantasy X International work on my PAL PS2?
A: No. The only difference between the PAL version and International version is
the content of the extra DVD disc (And that you can play the game in Japanese).
It is better for you to download it than to buy it.
Q: Will Final Fantasy X International work on my American NTSC PS2?
A: No. If you want to import it, you either need a Japanese PS2, or you will
have to chip yours, which I severely do not recommend. Chipping is bad, and
also runs a rather high risk of damaging your PS2. I know someone who chipped
their PS2, and wrecked it. It was still under warranty, but it was voided. It
cost him L125 pounds to get it fixed (Around $200). Don't do it.
Q: I have Final Fantasy X International. I completed the game, and the extra
ending didn't show! What's going on?
A: I get this quite often. ;) The extra ending is on the extra DVD disc, it is
NOT in the game. You do NOT need to play the game to view the ending. Also, It
only comes with the Japaneese version of Final Fantasy X International, not the
generic Asian version. Many imported version come from Hong Kong - this version
does NOT include the extra ening. I'm pretty sure of this. Correct me if I'm
wrong.

43.) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - FAQ ---> A842
=============================================================================
=============================================================================
Greetings! In this section most commonly asked questions will be answered.
Q1 - I missed Destruction Sphere at Bevelle, but now I can't enter it again.
What can I do?
A1 - There is no way you can miss Destruction Sphere at Bevelle. You need to
pick it up and use it in order to be able to leave the temple when you first
visit it. Again I stress that there is no way in purgatory you could've missed

that sphere.
Q2 - I have PAL version of FFX and have beaten the game. I have also heard of
extra ending that is on DVD, but I don't get to view it once I beat the game.
After words The End appear, that's it.
A2 - That bit of 'ending' can only be seen on Bonus DVD that came along with
Japanese INT version. The movie you'd like to see sadly hasn't been put on
bonus DVD that came along with PAL FFX.
Q3 - How do I open that darn door in Remiem Temple? I want Magus Sisters!
A3 - You need Flower Sceptre (get it by defeating Belgemine's Bahamut inside
Remiem Temple), Blossom Crown (capture at least one of each fiend from Calm
Lands and Gagazet, then arena manager hands it over). You'll also need to
obtain Anima and Yojimbo. Only then will you be able to remove the seal barring
the door and obtain final trio of aeons.
Q4 - I've entered Baaj Temple in order to get Anima. There're six statues in
there. Five of them lit up and one didn't. But I'm sure I got Destruction
Sphere from all temples I've visited so far. What gives?
A4 - You're missing Destruction Sphere from Zanarkand Temple. Return there.
Monitor shows white squares. You now need to step on all seven white squares
found in both parts of the temple. Once stepped on, pick up now revealed
Destruction Sphere. Go to the monitor in that other room. Insert it in one of
the holes. Collect Magistral Rod and sixth seal is broken. Return to Baaj
Temple and Anima is yours.
Q5 - Where is Tonberry in Cavern of S. F.? And what is the deal with Magic Urns
I so often run into?
A5 - Tonberry is one of rare fiends that's hard to encounter. As is common
belief on Gamefaqs FFX board, Tonberry can be encountered the most in far green
room. If even that doesn't work like it should, save your game and then reload.
As odd as it sounds, this seems to reset game's random encounter order and
frequency of which monsters you encounter, so this might help you find Tonberry
more often.
As for Magic Urns, no purpose has been found as of yet. Urns are only killable
with Yojimbo's Zanmato or by Dooming them (200 turns), but don't bother as you
get nothing in return. You may be interested in 'seven items' stuff you can
find in Urn's scan. That too hasn't been deciphered yet. Either you can get
seven different items from Urn or up to seven items in one battle, neither of
which I've been able to do. So for now, don't bother.
Q6 - There are some guys that won't let me enter the temples! What can I do?
A6 - Have you been to Highbridge yet? When Kimahri suggests so in one of the
scenes aboard the airship, Highbridge will become a destination on NavMap. Go
there, see the scene and you will no longer be prohibited from entering the
temples. BTW, recently I found out that you simply cannot miss talking to
Kimahri and Yuna in order for Highbridge to appear as a destination - you HAVE
to talk to both of them in order for the story to progress.
Q7 - Where the purgatory is eighth Cactuar Isrra? It's pretty obvious from the
clue he's supposed to be in the hole Sandragora was in before, but the bastard
is nowhere to be found.
A7 - You need to exit *Sanubia Desert - West* to *Sanubia Desert - Central* and
then reenter the West Desert. Recheck the sand traps and Isrra will be found in
one of them.
Q8 - Nemesis is still locked!
A8 - You need to capture 10 of every captureable fiend, you need to defeat all
Area creations, you need to defeat all Species creations, and you need to
defeat all seven Original creations (sans Nemesis, of course). Only after

you've done all that, Nemesis will be unlocked. Lastly, Nemesis is found under
Original creations, page two, which means you should press right once you enter
that submenu.
Q9 - I try to enter Besaid after I gain airship permanently, but I get my
behind handed to me by some flying bastard. What can I do? And... um, there's
an icy problem in front of Macalania temple. Tips?
A9 - You *have* to defeat this flying annoyance or 'wooohooo!'. One option is
boosting your stats a bit to stand better chances. The other is summoning
Yojimbo in battle and paying him all your gil, also hoping that random factor
is on your side and he'll do Zanmato.
Q10 - Help! I can't find Garuda, Qactuar, Simurgh etc. Oh, and I also heard
that this enemy most often pops up at this part. Can you take a pic of the
area?
A10 - I'm afraid I'll have to say no to this request. Based on my experience a
certain enemy tends to pop up just as often on one part of the background as it
does on the other. As it's often been said already, if you just can't seem to
capture certain enemy, save your game, then reset, then load lastly saved game
and try again. Monster encounter probability has changed with this, hopefully
for the better.
If I were to take a pic of the area and say: Simurgh pops up here for sure,
you'd go try it... and 10 Basilisks later you'd still be left resultless. I can
only provide you with two specific solutions:
- Qactuar can be fought in Thunder Plains, but only after you've prayed to a
Cactuar stone (you know, the ones that glow every so often) by pressing Square
button.
- Garuda can only be fought on Mushroom Rock: Precipice, and Mushroom Rock:
Valley. You will know so if you enter Triangle menu and examine lower left
corner where it says the name of the area.
Q11 - I need help with this and that boss!
A11 - Please! Use the strategies I wrote in the guide. I assure you that they
will help you win against whatever it is you're up against. Strategies I wrote
are result of lots of trial and error tests I ran when fighting those bosses.
If you still can't win, then next reason you aren't able to do so is cos you're
underpowered, in which case you should level up a bit. If you don't want to do
that, then get all of your aeons in overdrives and use them on bosses. This
alone should finally get you victory.
