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 earch 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. Q7 - I can't find the thing I'm looking for in this part of the guide. Where is it? A7 - Phrases marked with an asterisk (for example, Chocobo Eater* - A095) are explained in greater detail in first part of the guide, whereas those without an asterisk are explained more in this part of the guide. * - STILL NEED TO ASTERISK RELEVANT PHRASES! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- LETTER A ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- A.

Attack prop ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18. Strategy ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***************************************************************************** 2 - BOSS / MONSTER CHART - IN-DEPTH EXPLANATION ***************************************************************************** Above chart alone doesn't explain much, does it? As you can see, it's set up in 8 aspect classes when it comes to boss / monster information. Abbr you see mentioned below terms are then found in place of their respective longer cousins. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASPECT CLASS 1 - BOSS' / MONSTER'S VITAL INFORMATION ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Name: Name of the boss / monster 2. Hit Points: Hit Points boss / monster has - once they reach zero, HP boss / monster is defeated; the other value you'll see here after the slash is how much damage you must inflict to achieve Overkill NOTE: NO OV! mark means that Overkill can't be achieved. 3. Magic Points: Magic Points boss / monster has MP 4. AP awarded: as with HP you will see two figures, like this -> XX-YY; AP XX are AP you earn by defeating boss / monster normally and YY are AP gained for Overkill 5. Stats: Information on boss' / monster's statistics, which will go like this... Strength (St), Defence (Df), Magic (Mg), Magic Defence (Md), Agility (Ag), Luck (Lu), Evasion (Ev), Accuracy (Ac) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASPECT CLASS 2 - BOSS' / MONSTER'S ITEM & GIL INFORMATION ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Steal items: First number and item listed denote common steal, second ST number and item denote rare steal; if there's only one item listed, then same item counts as both common and rare steal; two examples follow Same item for both steals -> 1x-2x Mana Sphere Different item -> 1x Power Sphere, 3x HP Sphere 7. Dropped items: First number and item listed denote common drop, second DR number and item denote rare drop; if there's only one item listed, then same item counts as both common and rare drop; if boss / monster is Overkilled, you usually receive double amount of that item; two examples follow Same item for both drops -> 2x-4x; 2x-4x Special Sphere Different item -> 1x-2x HP Sphere; 1x-2x MP Sphere 8. Gil reward: Amount of gil received at end of battle GIL 9. Bribed items: Item you get by successfully bribing *some* bosses and BR most monsters, followed by amount of gil you need to 'donate' to receive that item ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASPECT CLASS 3 - BOSS' / MONSTER'S STATUS INFORMATION* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. Status immune: All statuses boss / monster is immune to STIMM 11. Status resist: All statuses which can be inflicted upon a boss / STRESIS monster, but with a certain % probability 12. Doom counter: Some monsters / bosses have no immunity or resistance to DCOUNT Doom status. That's why this special entry is needed. Number here marks amount of turns fiend has remaining before being KO-ed. 13. Poison %: Some monsters / bosses have no immunity or resistance to POI% Poison status. That's why this special entry is needed. Number here marks percentage of MAX HP fiend loses for each turn it takes. * - if there is a status NOT mentioned, this means you can inflict that status with almost 100% prob. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASPECT CLASS 4 - BOSS' / MONSTER'S ELEMENT INFORMATION ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14. Element prop: Information on boss' / monster's element affinities, ELEMWEAK which are fire, ice, lightning, water and holy; elements ELEMHALF not mentioned cause normal damage to the fiend, while ELEMIMM abbr to the left of this should be self-explanatory ELEMABS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASPECT CLASS 5 - BOSS' / MONSTER'S EQUIPMENT INFORMATION ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15. Equipment prop: Information on how many slots you can expect to find on EQUIPMENT dropped pieces of equipment, how many abilities you can DWA expect to find forged into the equipment (DWA - weapons, DAA DAA - armors) weapon and finally prob. % of equipment piece being dropped ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASPECT CLASS 6 - BOSS' / MONSTER'S SENSOR & SCAN INFORMATION ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16. Sensor / Scan: What info do Sensor and Scan of target fiend hide? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASPECT CLASS 7 - BOSS' / MONSTER'S ATTACK PROPERTIES ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17. Attack prop: Information on boss' / monster's attacks, like who they target etc.; if the attack inflicts any statuses, listed in parenthesis will be info for how many chr's turns (those not mentioned are permanently in effect) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASPECT CLASS 8 - BOSS' / MONSTER'S STRATEGIC INFORMATION ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18. Strategy: Complete and in-depth strategy on how to defeat the boss; for monsters expect to find a quick hint on defeating a certain monster ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT NOTE: IF YOU SEE A PART OF THE CHART NOT PRESENT, THAT MEANS THAT MONSTER / BOSS IN QUESTION DON'T PRESENT OR DON'T HAVE THAT PARTICULAR PART! Example 1: Most bosses are immune to Doom, so I'll be omitting DCOUNT part for such bosses. Example 2: Most bosses are immune to Bribe, so BR part will not be included. Example 3: Many regular enemies have no statuses they resist with certain %, so making STRESIS entry is not necessary. ***************************************************************************** 3 - ABBREVIATIONS USED IN THIS GUIDE ***************************************************************************** There will also be a lot of abbrs in Boss sections. They're as follows... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- WATT - water magic attack | WATTP - water based physical attack FATT - fire magic attack | FATTP - fire based physical attack LATT - lightning magic attack | LATTP - lightning based phys. attack IATT - ice magic attack | IATTP - ice based physical attack GRATT - gravity magic attack | GRATTP - gravity based physical attack HATT - holy magic attack | NATT - non-elemental magic attack CATT - counterattack | STATT - special type attack VS - versus | chr - single character chrs - multiple characters | phd - physical damage mgd - magic damage | std - special type damage fire phd - fire el. physical damage | lightning phd - light. el. phy. damage water phd - water el. physical damage| ice phd - ice el. physical damage holy phd - holy el. physical damage | fire mgd - fire el. magical damage lightning mgd - lig. el. mag. damage | water mgd - water el. magical damage ice mgd - ice el. magical damage | holy mgd - holy el. magical damage NS - nothing special | RAA - recommended armor abilities RWA - recommended weapon abilities | SG - Standard Sphere Grid ESG - Expert Sphere Grid | SIL - silence SLE - sleep | DAR - darkness POI - poison | PET - petrification SLO - slow | ZOM - zombie POW - power break | MAG - magic break ARM - armor break | MEN - mental break THR - threaten | DEA - death PRV - provoke | DOO - doom NUL - nul effects | SHE - shell PRT - protect | REF - reflect HAS - haste | REG - regen DIS - distil effects | SEN - sensor SCA - scan | DEM - demi DEL - delay effects | EJE - eject ST - steal from enemy | DR - drop after battle BR - item that can be bribed | STIMM - status immunity STRESIS - status resistance | DWA - dropped weapon abilities DAA - dropped armor abilities | prob. - probability ELEMWEAK - el. fiend is weak against | ELEMHALF - el. fiend is strong against ELEMIMM - el. fiend is immune to | ELEMABS - el. fiend absorbs as HP FIR - fire | LIG - lightning WAT - water | ICE - ice HOL - holy | na - not applicable DCOUNT - Doom counter | POI% - poison percentage per turn ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***************************************************************************** 4 - EXAMPLE OF BOSS / MONSTER CHART ***************************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chocobo Eater | HP: 10000-800 | St, Df, Mg, Md, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac MP: 5 | AP: 90-135 | 25, 25, 20, 35, 12, 15, 0, 25 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ST: 1x-1x Potion | DR: 2x Lv.1 Key Sp.

It's comprised of five 'slots'... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you look at the chart with a deep-eye, you'll see few parts missing. As 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 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. ===================== VI) 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. Monster's stats info: St, Df, Mg, Md, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac 10, 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: You want to defeat main hero of the game?:) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is that okay? Now that you're set, few more pointers... - monsters will be done in order of encountering them - for abbreviations found in section 17. by particular monster refer to part VI of this guide where you will find what certain abbr means =========================================================================== 001 - SINSCALE (Zanarkand) ---> A500 1. Name: Sinscale 2. Monster's HP: 100/500 3. Monster's MP: 0 4. AP gained when monster is defeated: N/A 5. Items stolen: Nothing to steal. 6. Items dropped: N/A 7. Gil earned: N/A 8. Items bribed: Immune to Bribe 9. Monster's status info: - Provoke, Threaten - NS - 25% Poison - 1 turn for Doom 10. Monster's stats info: St, Df, Mg, Md, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac 5, 1, 1, 1, 8, 0, 0, 0 11.

Monster's attacks: a) 'Bash' - VS one chr - phd b) 'Wings start to flicker.' - signifies charge turn for Spines c) Spines - VS one chr - extreme phd - requires one turn to charge 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 002 - SAHAGIN (before fighting Geosgaeno) ---> A466 1. Name: Sahagin 2. Monster's HP: 100/200 3. Monster's MP: 5 4. AP gained when monster is defeated: N/A 5. Items stolen: Nothing to steal. 6. Items dropped: N/A 7. Gil earned: N/A 8.

You shouldn't need a strategy for this Sahagin, as it goes down in one hit. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 003A - 1x PIRANHA (Submerged Ruins) ---> A422 1.

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.

Although it doesn't have much HP, it's not recommended to kill them. Concentrate on the big target instead. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 010 - DINONIX (Kilika forest) ---> A156 1. Name: Dinonix 2. Monster's HP: 140/210 3.

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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 011 - KILLER BEE (Kilika forest) ---> A287 1. Name: Killer Bee 2. Monster's HP: 110/165 3.

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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 013 - YELLOW ELEMENT (Kilika forest) ---> A647 1. Name: Yellow Element 2.

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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 014 - WORKER (Luca) ---> A639 1. Name: Worker 2. Monster's HP: 300/600 3.

Unlike later robotic enemies, stealing from Worker does not automatically kill it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 015 - GARUDA (in Luca Stadium) ---> A229 1.

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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 146 - PUROBOROS (O. Ruins) ---> A442 1. Name: Puroboros 2.

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 rougly 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 Sigil will appear as a league prize once you've obtained all overdrives for Wakka. http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/worldchampion04.jpg http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/worldchampion05.jpg #2D - FINAL RESULT - Abilities on World Champion: Triple Overdrive, Break Damage Limit, Double AP, Evade&Counter - More HP Wakka has, more damage World Champion does #3A - AURON'S MASAMUNE ---> A344 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. http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/rustysword.jpg 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. http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/rustyinsert.jpg Approach the sign that appeared and examine it... http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/masamune003.jpg ...to obtain Masamune! http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/masamune004.jpg #3B - MARS CREST ---> A342 Go to the place where S. convinced few guards to let you thru the barricade. There's a path leading down and right. http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/masamune001.jpg Enter it and you'll be on Oldroad. Go all the way to the end and you'll find Mars Crest in the chest. http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/masamune002.jpg #3C - MARS SIGIL ---> A343 Once you unlock combined total of 10 Species and/or Area Creations... http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/masamune005.jpg ...you'll receive Mars Sigil from Monster Arena manager. http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/masamune006.jpg #3D - FINAL RESULT - Abilities on Masamune: Triple Overdrive, Break Damage Limit, Counter-attack, First Strike - Less HP Auron has, more damage Masamune does #4A - KIMAHRI'S SPIRIT LANCE ---> A557 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 (locations provided in pics below) and Qactuars will now be fightable. http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/spiritlance002.jpg http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/spiritlance003.jpg http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/spiritlance004.jpg Now go to southern Thunder Plains. Hug the right until you see a broken pillar of sorts. http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/spiritlance005.jpg Examine this 'pillar' with Square and Spirit Lance is yours. http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/spiritlance006.jpg #4B - SATURN CREST ---> A472 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. http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/spiritlance001.jpg #4C - SATURN SIGIL ---> A473 In Macalania woods you'll need to complete *both* butterly mini-games after you gain the airship. Do it successfully and sigil is yours. I stress again that you need to complete both games. Proof below... http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/spiritlance007.jpg http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/spiritlance008.jpg #4D - FINAL RESULT - Abilities on Spirit Lance: Triple Overdrive, Break Damage Limit, Evade&Counter, Double AP - More HP Kimahri has, more damage Spirit Lance does #5A - YUNA'S NIRVANA ---> A389 Capture at least one of every fiend in Calm Lands... http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/nirvana002.jpg He'll arrange a chest to appear. Examine it... http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/nirvana003.jpg As Tidus opens the chest, he's thinking: Yuna! Let's reach Nirvana together! http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/nirvana004.jpg #5B - MOON CREST ---> A369 At Besaid Beach there's a small beach with chest, that houses Moon Crest. http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/nirvana001.jpg #5C - MOON SIGIL ---> A370 After you acquire Magus Sisters, talk to Belgemine inside Remiem temple... http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/nirvana005.jpg When they're defeated, following choice will be presented to you... http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/nirvana006.jpg After the ritual... http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/nirvana007.jpg #5D - FINAL RESULT - Abilities on Nirvana: Triple Overdrive, Break Damage Limit, One MP Cost, Double AP - More MP Yuna has, more damage Nirvana does #6A - LULU'S ONION KNIGHT ---> A409 Go to Baaj Temple. For coordinates look below. http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/baajtemple.jpg 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. http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/onionknight002.jpg http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/onionknight003.jpg #6B - VENUS CREST ---> A612 Enter the Farplane. Venus Crest can be found here. Note that it *isn't* there on your first visit to Farplane! http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/onionknight001.jpg #6C - VENUS SIGIL ---> A613 There's a book inside Thunder plains Agency that tells about lightning strikes... http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/onionknight004.jpg After you have the confirmation to have done so many of dodges... http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/onionknight005.jpg ...and... http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/onionknight006.jpg Remember! You cannot save inbetween, seek shelter beneath rod towers or travel to another screen. All that, plus getting struck by lightning will reset the counter to 0. #6D - FINAL RESULT - Abilities on Onion Knight: Triple Overdrive, Break Damage Limit, Magic Booster, One MP Cost - More MP Lulu has, more damage Onion Knight does #7A - RIKKU'S GODHAND ---> A234 Input GODHAND as a password when you have control of the airship. http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/godhand003.jpg Then go to that destination... http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/godhand004.jpg At the end of the path is chest... http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/godhand005.jpg #7B - MERCURY CREST ---> A362 Found in western part of Sanubia Desert in the chest in one of sandpits. http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/godhand001.jpg #7C - MERCURY SIGIL ---> A363 Complete Cactuar sidequest in Sanubia Desert. One of chests now accessible in the valley of the sandstorms houses the sigil. http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/godhand002.jpg #7D - FINAL RESULT - Abilities on Godhand: Triple Overdrive, Break Damage Limit, Double AP, Gillionare - More HP Rikku has, more damage Godhand does --> 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 ne 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 X-Potion. 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. ********* GEOSGAENO ---> A231 ********* 1. Name: Geosgaeno 2. Monster's HP: 32767/32767 3. Monster's MP: 128 4. AP gained when monster is defeated: 4200/6300 5. Items stolen: 1x Water Gem/2x Water Gem 6. Items dropped: 2x/4x Power Sphere; 2x/4x Power Sphere 7. Gil earned: 1000 8. Items bribed: Immune to Bribe 9. Monster's status info: - Immune to every negative status (except Poison), including Eject and Demi; however, you can turn tide of battle in your favour - 95% Poison - 10% Poison - Immune to Doom 10. Monster's stats info: St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac 36, 50, 40, 50, 48, 15, 0, 50 11. Monster's el. info: Weak to all elements, holy included 12. Monster's Sensor info: Covered with thick scales. Vulnerable to magic. 13. Monster's Scan info: Immune to Scan 14. Monster's equip. dropped info: 2-3 slots, 1 ability already present, 99% probability of equipment piece being dropped 15. Weapon abilities: No Encounters (this is a glitch) 16. Armor abilities: Auto-Reflect 17. Monster's attacks: 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 Mega-Phoenix 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: http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/templebaaj01.jpg http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/templebaaj02.jpg http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/templebaaj03.jpg 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... ----------------- 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. LEVEL 1 - VALEFOR BATTLE 1. Boss' HP / HP Overkill; MP 20000 / 20000; 500 2. Boss' status info: - Immune to every negative status, including Eject and Demi - NS - Immune to Poison - Immune to Doom 3. Boss' stats info: St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac 20, 10, 18, 10, 21, 15, 0, 0 4. Boss' el. info; Sensor info; Scan info NS; Immune to Sensor; Immune to Scan 5. Boss' attacks: a) 'Strike' - VS one chr - phd b) Energy Ray - STATT VS one/all chr/s - std c) Energy Blast - STATT VS one/all chr/s - std d) 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. LEVEL 2 - IFRIT BATTLE 1. Boss' HP / HP Overkill; MP 28000 / 28000; 800 2. Boss' status info: - Immune to every negative status, including Eject and Demi - NS - Immune to Poison - Immune to Doom 3. Boss' stats info: St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac 23, 10, 21, 1, 18, 15, 0, 0 4. Boss' el. info; Sensor info; Scan info Absorbs fire; Immune to Sensor; Immune to Scan 5. Boss' attacks: a) 'Swipe' - VS one chr - phd b) Hell Fire - FATT VS one/all chr/s - fire mgd c) Meteor Strike - STATT VS one chr - std 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. LEVEL 3 - IXION BATTLE 1. Boss' HP / HP Overkill; MP 30000 / 30000; 720 2. Boss' status info: - Immune to every negative status, including Eject and Demi - NS - Immune to Poison - Immune to Doom 3. Boss' stats info: St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac 22, 1, 23, 1, 17, 15, 0, 0 4. Boss' el. info; Sensor info; Scan info Absorbs lightning; Immune to Sensor; Immune to Scan 5. Boss' attacks: a) 'Swipe' - VS one chr - phd b) Thor's Hammer - LATT VS one/all chr/s - lightning mgd c) Aerospark - VS one chr - phd + Dispel effect 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 Power Sphere. LEVEL 4 - SHIVA BATTLE 1. Boss' HP / HP Overkill; MP 20000 / 20000; 950 2. Boss' status info: - Immune to every negative status, including Eject and Demi - NS - Immune to Poison - Immune to Doom 3. Boss' stats info: St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac 23, 180,20, 180,21, 15, 0, 0 4. Boss' el. info; Sensor info; Scan info Absorbs ice; Immune to Sensor; Immune to Scan 5. Boss' attacks: a) 'Kick' - VS one chr - phd b) Diamond Dust - IATT VS one/all chr/s - ice mgd c) Heavenly Strike - VS one chr - phd + Delay effect d) Blizzara - IATT VS one chr - ice mgd e) 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. LEVEL 5 - BAHAMUT BATTLE 1. Boss' HP / HP Overkill; MP 35000 / 35000; 1500 2. Boss' status info: - Immune to every negative status, including Eject and Demi - NS - Immune to Poison - Immune to Doom 3. Boss' stats info: St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac 31, 1, 38, 1, 20, 15, 0, 0 4. Boss' el. info; Sensor info; Scan info NS; Immune to Sensor; Immune to Scan 5. Boss' attacks: a) 'Swipe' - CATT VS one chr - phd b) Mega Flare - STATT VS one/all chr/s - std c) Countdown: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - countdown turn to Mega Flare 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 ITEM*. Beat Bahamut any time afterwards as many times as you want and you'll receive 8x Mana Sphere. LEVEL 6 - YOJIMBO BATTLE 1. Boss' HP / HP Overkill; MP 32000 / 32000; 1200 2. Boss' status info: - Immune to every negative status, including Eject and Demi - NS - Immune to Poison - Immune to Doom 3. Boss' stats info: St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac 34, 80, 35, 1, 32, 15, 0, 0 4. Boss' el. info; Sensor info; Scan info NS; Immune to Sensor; Immune to Scan 5. Boss' attacks: a) Daigoro - VS one chr - phd b) Kozuka - VS one chr - phd c) Wakizashi - VS one chr OR all chrs - phd d) Zanmato - STATT VS one/all chr/s - std (?) 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. For advancing past level 6 for the first time you receive 8x Shadow Gem. Beat Yojimbo any time afterwards as many times as you want and you'll receive 10x Power Sphere. LEVEL 7 - ANIMA BATTLE 1. Boss' HP / HP Overkill; MP 54000 / 54000; 3000 2. Boss' status info: - Immune to every negative status, including Eject and Demi - NS - Immune to Poison - Immune to Doom 3. Boss' stats info: St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac 38, 1, 60, 1, 15, 15, 0, 0 4. Boss' el. info; Sensor info; Scan info NS; Immune to Sensor; Immune to Scan 5. Boss' attacks: a) 'Stare' - VS one chr - phd b) Oblivion - STATT VS one/all chr/s - 16 consecutive hits + Delay effect c) Pain - NATT VS one chr - mgd + KO d) Dispel - VS one chr - shatters most positive statuses e) 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 Mana Sphere. LEVEL 8 - MAGUS SISTERS BATTLE 1. Cindy's HP / HP Overkill; MP 48000 / 48000; 8000 Mindy's HP / HP Overkill; MP 20000 / 20000; 7000 Sandy's HP / HP Overkill; MP 35000 / 35000; 3000 2. All Sisters' status info: - Immune to every negative status, including Eject and Demi - NS - Immune to Poison - Immune to Doom 3. Cindy's stats info: St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac 48, 0, 38, 0, 15, 15, 0, 0 Mindy's stats info: St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac 21, 1, 28, 1, 20, 15, 0, 0 Sandy's stats info: St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac 35, 1, 18, 1, 24, 15, 0, 0 4. All Sisters' el. info; Sensor info; Scan info NS; Immune to Sensor; Immune to Scan 5. Sisters' attacks: Cindy's repertoire a) Shell - on one ally - bestows Shell b) Protect - on one ally - bestows Protect c) Mighty Guard - on allies - bestows Shell, Protect and NulAll d) Regen - on one ally - bestows Regen e) Dispel - VS one chr - shatters most positive statuses f) Camisade - VS one chr - phd g) Drain - VS one chr - mgd - amount of HP deducted is added to Cindy's HP h) Holy - HATT VS one chr - holy mgd i) Cura - on one ally - restores moderate amount of HP Sandy's repertoire a) 'Slash' - VS one chr - phd b) Razzia - VS one chr - phd Mindy's repertoire a) Fira - FATT VS one chr - fire mgd b) Thundara - LATT VS one chr - lightning mgd c) Watera - WATT VS one chr - water mgd d) Blizzara - IATT VS one chr - ice mgd e) Firaga - FATT VS one chr - fire mgd f) Thundaga - LATT VS one chr - lightning mgd g) Waterga - WATT VS one chr - water mgd h) Blizzaga - IATT VS one chr - ice mgd i) Flare - NATT VS one chr - mgd j) Ultima - NATT VS one/all chr/s - mgd k) Passado - VS one chr - phd - 15 consecutive hits 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- VI - CAVERN OF THE S. F. ---> A088 Enemies: Tonberry, Ghost, Yowie, Magic Urn, Defender, Thorn, Valaha, Epaaj, Coeurl, Malboro, Nidhogg, Dark Element, Imp, Mech Hunter, Yojimbo (BOSS) Items: 1x Megalixir, 1x Lv.2 Key Sp., 1x Fortune Sp., 2x Mega-Potion, 1x MP Sphere, 2x X-Potion Weapons: 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. ******* YOJIMBO ---> A644 ******* 1. Name: Yojimbo 2. Monster's HP: 33000/4060 3. Monster's MP: 2000 4. AP gained when monster is defeated: N/A 5.

Monster's equip. dropped info: N/A 15. Weapon abilities: N/A 16. Armor abilities: N/A 17. Monster's attacks: a) Daigoro - VS one chr - phd b) Kozuka - VS one chr - phd c) Zanmato - VS all chrs - deals 9999 damage regardless of protection 18. Monster strategy: Quite easy. Use Candle of Life on it, defend/heal for five Yojimbo's turns and then he's gone. Yawn. So much trouble yet I get nothing. I want a refund. Seriously, though, you need at least 300000 Gil as well. Once you 'talk' to Yojimbo, he'll offer 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 left room and nab chest for Flexible Arm. Right room has 1x MP Sphere and 2x X-Potion. Teleport back and then return to entrance. --------------------------------------- VII - AIRSHIP PASSWORDS AND COORDINATES --------------------------------------- # PASSWORDS ---> A014 There's three passwords you can input under the Password option when on your airship.

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 Weapons: 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. Tocuh 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-the-spot 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... ************* ULTIMA WEAPON ---> A607 ************* 1. Name: Ultima Weapon 2. Monster's HP: 99999/13560 3. Monster's MP: 99 4.

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.' ************ OMEGA WEAPON ---> A406 ************ 1. Name: Omega Weapon 2. Monster's HP: 999999/13560 3. Monster's MP: 999 4.

Monster's attacks: a) 'Swipe' - VS one chr - phd b) Confuse - VS one chr - inflicts Confuse c) Break - VS one chr - inflicts Petrify d) Shimmering Rain - STATT VS all chrs - std - cannot be halved in any way e) Nova - STATT VS all chrs - std f) Demi - NATT VS all chrs - tears off 25% of current HP g) Core Energy - NATT VS one chr - mgd h) 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 over-estimated 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. 'Song of the Gatekeeper' 9 little gatekeepers play in the sand. Rovivea's gone walkabout. Be back soon. What a dumb clue. Rovivea can be found running around in east Sanubia desert in westernmost dead end. Time to catch Rovivea: 13 seconds. Get the sphere and put it in the altar. A picture showing Rovivea's location available at following URL: http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/rovivea.jpg 'Song of the Gatekeeper' 8 little gatekeepers play in the sand. Little Chava likes big numbers. Be back soon. This one's close. In this part of desert find the sign with '20% off' stuff on it and examine it. Time to catch Chava: 13 seconds. Get the sphere and put it in the altar. A picture showing Chava's location available at following URL: http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/chava.jpg 'Song of the Gatekeeper' 7 little gatekeepers play in the sand. Alek and Aloja play tag in the ruins of men. Be back soon. 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. A picture showing Alek's and Aloja's location available at following URL: http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/alekaloja.jpg 'Song of the Gatekeeper' 5 little gatekeepers play in the sand. Vachella seeks the shining blue. Be back soon. Shining blue? This is the save sphere. You have to go to east Sanubia desert. Examine save sphere here and... Time to catch Vachella: 14 seconds. Get the sphere and put it in the altar. A picture showing Vachella's location available at following URL: http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/vachella.jpg 'Song of the Gatekeeper' 4 little gatekeepers play in the sand. O, Robeya's stuck inside. Be back soon. 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. A picture showing Robeya's location available at following URL: http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/robeya.jpg '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. A picture showing Isrra's location available at following URL: http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/isrra.jpg 'Song of the Gatekeeper' 2 little gatekeepers play in the sand. Much-curious Elio has left on a journey. Be back soon. Why do they have to go all the way to the Oasis?:) Go there and you will see USS Enterprise 'event'. Hey! Go to your airship and head for the place where you fought Evrae for first time. Time to catch Elio: 11 seconds. Get the sphere and put it in the altar. Two pictures showing Elio's location available at following URL: http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/elio1.jpg http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/elio2.jpg 'Song of the Gatekeeper' 1 little gatekeeper plays in the sand. Flaile is always behind. Be back soon. Action straight away. Time to catch Flaile: 13 seconds. Get the sphere and put it in the altar. Sandstorms are gone! Two pictures showing Flaile's location available at following URL: http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/flaile1.jpg http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/flaile2.jpg 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. --------------------------------------------------- XIII - AURON'S, BRASKA'S, JECHT'S SPHERES LOCATIONS ---> A667 --------------------------------------------------- These are special spheres that allow Auron to learn new Overdrives as well as reveal a bit of backstory about journey of the trio. In here you'll find info where you can find them. 1 - After defeating Spherimorph at Macalania Lake http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/jsphere01.jpg 2 - Besaid Village, steps near the Temple of Yevon (return here straight after defeating Spherimorph to collect this sphere, or else you'll need to defeat a tough boss later) http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/jsphere05.jpg 3 - On the S.S. Liki, bridge http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/jsphere04.jpg 4 - Luca Stadium, Basement A (near locker room) http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/jsphere03.jpg 5 - Mi'hen Highroad, Oldroad (near the chest with Mars Crest) http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/jsphere02.jpg 6 - Mushroom Rock Road, Precipice, south of the rising platform http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/asphere01.jpg 7 - Moonflow, South Wharf, near the Shoopuf dock http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/jsphere06.jpg 8 - Thunder Plains, south part, near a lightning rod on the right (from Rin's agency go down, until you find yourself in South Thunder plains; keep walking down until you get to second lightning tower; the sphere is very close to it) http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/jsphere07.jpg 9 - Macalania Forest, South, right at entrance http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/jsphere08.jpg 10 - Mt. Gagazet, Mountain Road, side road that dead-ends (remember three summoner 'graves' you can examine during your climbing?; sphere is located somewhere between first and second grave, in case you enter Gagazet from Calm Lands) http://splitinfinity.50megs.com/images/bsphere01.jpg ---------------------- 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 captureable 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 Auto-Phoenix. 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 TREASURE HUNT ---> A847 ------------------------------ Written by: Darryl Knight Information on Omega Ruins Treasure Hunt was originally written by Darryl. I e-mailed him and asked if I could use it in my guide and he gave me a green light. So without further blah blah here we go. Note: Some parts reprinted with permission! PART 1 - Theory THE WHOLE THING IS TIMED. This was his original quote on the GameFAQs message board on 2-25-02 after initially testing the 'Time Based' theory. Now with 1176 attempts at the quest and all the data he's logged, the results confirm the original hypothesis. Two compatible time base methods have been confirmed as of this version. The 'original' and a technique he has simply called 'doubling'. The basic concept uses the actual number of chests in the room at any given moment as the premise of the counting method. Counting is achieved by the player mentally (or verbally) counting off the seconds before opening a particular chest in a room. Another poster recommended using a metronome to help with keeping track of the timing. It's a great idea. Data suggests that the actual count used by the game uses 'rounding' to whole seconds (ie. slightly more than a count, goes to the next whole second). Counting begins when you arrive at the chest, NOT when you stop moving. Accuracy is critical, but not impossible. If you hated Chocobo Racing to get 0:0.0 using a timer, then you'll hate this too. The exception here is, the prize is much more valuable! First, the 'Original Method' of counting: 1. Upon entering a room, note how many chests (important) 2. Approach a chest and begin counting off the number of chests in the room, then OPEN 3. Go to the next chest and count off (but now there is one less chest), then OPEN 4. Repeat for each of the chests in the room Second is the 'Doubling Method' of counting: 1. Upon entering a room, note how many chests (important) and double it (double count) 2. Approach a chest and begin counting off the double count in the room, then OPEN 3. Go to the next chest and count off the double count (but now there is one less chest), then OPEN 4. Repeat for each of the chests in the room This 'Doubling Method' does NOT work (statistically significant) in the 'room with four chests'! You must use the 'Original Method' in the fourth room for best results. Each room is also timed with a maximum time to achieve opening the chests, except the 'room with four chests'. If the maximum time expires, you lose ALL of the chests in that room as if you had opened a 'trapped' chest. The 'room with four chests' is an exception to the rule (just to mess with you a little). It's the ONLY room that you can leave and the chests do not disappear after opening a chest. Even though you can do this, it is not recommended because of the timing issues involved. PART 2 - Statistics According to the "random" theory as expressed in the Ultimania Guide the game decides if the chest you choose in a particular room is trapped or not using the following calculations: Room with 2 chests, the odds are: 1/3 that the first chest is trapped, 1/3 that the second chest is trapped, and 1/3 chance that none of chests are trapped at all. Room with 3 chests, the odds are: 1/4 that the first chest is trapped, 1/4 that the second chest is trapped, 1/4 that the third chest is trapped, and 1/4 chance that none of chests are trapped at all. Room with 4 chests, the odds are: 1/5 that the first chest is trapped, 1/5 that the second chest is trapped, 1/5 that the third chest is trapped, 1/5 that the fourth chest is trapped, and 1/5 chance that none of chests are trapped at all. So, we are left to accept that the odds are 1/240 (3x4x4x5) of getting all 12 chests without encountering a single trap. If you ask him, that's hell. According to the 'timing' theory as expressed by himself, the player decides if the chest chosen in a particular room is trapped or not. Now, let's look at how the statistics stack up if you now know you have an element of control in the outcome of your choice. Meaning that, if you know when an event is going to occur, then matching that event is now determined by the error invoked in the choice. Data suggests a 'rounding up' in the final choice. The range of error allowed is unknown, but its small, and less than one second. If we follow standard rounding rules, it's greater than 1/2 second, it may be less than that (and probably is). For example, if the player's time is 0.7 seconds, it is rounded up to 1 second, if it's 0.4, it's instantaneous (or zero) using standard rounding. Using this criterion, and a 'worst' case scenario of a 50% error, then the calculations are: Room with 2 chests, the odds are: 1/2 x (1/3) that the 1st chest is trapped, 1/2 x (1/3) that the 2nd chest is trapped, and 1/2 x (1/3) chance that none of chests are trapped at all. Room with 3 chests, the odds are: 1/2 x (1/3) that the first chest is trapped, 1/2 x (1/3) that the second chest is trapped, 1/2 x (1/3) that the third chest is trapped, and 1/2 x (1/3) chance that none of chests are trapped at all. Room with 4 chests, the odds are: 1/2 x (1/5) that the first chest is trapped, 1/2 x (1/5) that the second chest is trapped, 1/2 x (1/5) that the third chest is trapped, 1/2 x (1/5) that the fourth chest is trapped, and 1/2 x (1/5) chance that none of the chests are trapped at all. Now, we see the results of our efforts, (1/2) x (3x4x4x5) or 1/120 of getting all 12 chests without encountering a single trap. That's HALF the original odds! The best part is, as you reduce your timing error, the odds GO DOWN! The key is to reduce your error. The lower the error in your counting, the odds at getting all the chests decreases. PART 3 - Chest Contents When opening the 12 chests, choose any order you like. The contents of the chests will always be the same. The contents of successfully opening the chests will be: 1) 1x Lv.4 Sphere 2) Defending Bracer (2 slots) Silenceproof, Darkproof 3) Turnover (Magic Counter, Counter-Attack) 4) 2x Lv.3 Key Sphere 5) Defending Armlet (Stoneproof, Poisonproof, 2 FS) 6) 2x Friend Sphere 7) 1x Lv.4 Key Sphere 8) Phantom Ring (Ice Eater, Fire Eater, Lightning Eater, 1 FS) 9) Cactuar Wizard (Half MP Cost) 10) Warmonger (Double AP, Double Overdrive) 11) 2x Teleport Sphere 12) 99x WARP SPHERE! PART 4 - Game Timing Facts Many of the game's programmed timing routines are exposed during routine gameplay and give the player clues as to how the programmers utilized timing sub-routines during events encountered throughout the course of the game. These clues were essential in development of the Timing Method. As you progress though normal gameplay events become more and more time challenging, or handicapped against the player as you proceed. Here he has outlined just a few of the major occurrences, but not all of them. If you have others, e-mail them to him. Here are a few to consider: - Lightning Dodging in the Thunder Plains Here we first encounter: Invisible Counting Active Completion Event Cueing Dynamic Environment Timing (DET) Here's where the programmers throw you the first big clue... Invisible counting need not be discussed since we all know the player has to keep track of the total amount of Lightning Dodges and that you cannot leave the Thunder Plains or the number resets. The only benefit is the result of the flash before the strike, Event Cueing. At least you know that a strike is imminent. The other is less obvious. In and around the environment of Thunder Plains you can find different frequencies of lightning strikes. Depending on where you are in the environment you can encounter 1, 2, or 3 strikes within a given time period. This fact is well documented in a number of published FAQs as to where the different areas are located on the map of Thunder Plains. - Butterfly Catching in Macalania Woods Here we first encounter: Visual Timers No Encounter Critical Timing Dialog Window timer suspend Here's where the programmers throw you the second big clue... The visual timer thing is no big deal, but what happens during a butterfly encounter is not so obvious. Anyone who has done the Butterfly Catching knows you cannot get the chest if you get into a fight after encountering a butterfly. You must go as fast as you can without having a single encounter with a butterfly. The last one is subtle, the timer suspends counting while in the actual dialogs after the battle, but there is a time when switching between dialogs you see the timer on the screen briefly. Since the timing is so critical in this little quest the appearance of this timer shows you the lost seconds needed to complete successfully. It's here the game makes sure you lose if you fight and shows you that time suspends while in a dialog. - Chocobo Racing at the Calm Lands Here we first encounter: Active Timers Visual Timers Timer Manipulation And again encounter: Active Completion Here's where the programmers throw you the third big clue... Anyone who has done this knows about the timer in getting 0:0.0 but that's only half of the story. Those damn balloons and seagulls to modify the timing is absolutely crucial to achieving the goal. You must go through each of the four races sequentially and win each one to move the guy blocking the path to Tidus' Ultimate Weapon (Active Completion). If you leave or stop racing, you cannot get the guy to move. Winning all four races in a row will get the guy to finally move out of the way. - Blitzball Here we encounter: Active Timers Passive Completion Visual Timers Event Cueing Dynamic Environment Timing (DET) Here's where the programmers throw you the fourth big clue... Anyone who has played Blitzball knows the game is timed. Getting all of Wakka's Reels and getting player Tech skills knows the process of Passive Completion. You can come and go from games and not lose your place. What you got is yours to keep. One must do things in order to achieve the goal. The clue here is the use again of Event Cueing to signal a TechCopy situation. The effectiveness of Event Cueing is hindered by the use of Dynamic Environment Timing (DET) during a TechCopy of other player's skills. The environment that changes here is the opponent and what skill is able to be TechCopied. There is no timer that you can see, but timing is absolutely critical in getting a successful TechCopy of skills like Jecht Shot 2, Sphere Shot, Invisible Shot, etc. Each skill has a different timing associated with it during a TechCopy. If you have done this, you know how hard it can be. - Omega Ruins Here we encounter the worst of the timing protocols: Invisible Timing Active Completion No Encounter Dynamic Environment Timing (DET) Dialog Window timer suspend Timer Manipulation The game knows where you are and what you are doing at all times. There are no obvious clues that this mini-quest is timed, no active timers and Invisible Timing on top of that. You must complete without saving (Active Completion), you cannot fight any Mimics (No Encounter) and the DET adds to the whole mess. As the environment in each room changes, so does the timing. There is no Event Cueing to help either. This combination of routines makes this one the worst timing mini-quest in the whole game. You can suspend the timing in any room after successfully opening a chest by leaving the chest contents dialog on the screen, kinda like a pause feature. The player is left with very few options. The only choices you have are to assume it is random and be satisfied, or you can try to manipulate the timing. If you follow the Timing Method protocol, you can beat the rules in this quest by exploiting Timer Manipulation. PART 5 - Frequently Asked Questions Q. Can I SAVE my progress after opening chests? A. No, you cannot SAVE or leave the Ruins during the quest. If you do, the item list will change and you will start getting duplicates of some items. Any deviation from the item list in the previous section says you did something wrong. Q. I enter the room. There are X chests. I approach chest 1, count X times, open, success. I move to the next chest. I count X-1 times, open, success, etc. until I get to the last one. I count once, open, trap. Every time. A. I got that at first also, I kept trying. It all comes down to timing. Remember, start counting when you get to the chest, not when you stop moving. It's probably rounding error. I actually practiced with a second hand on a clock to get the timing down. Q. What is the "Brute Force" method? A. Start from a SAVED game, then pick an order you'd like to open the chests in, and do it. If it fails, reload and use that same pattern and try it again. Do it over and over until you get it. Q. Shouldn't a better Luck score on your characters increase your odds of getting all 12 chests? A. I don't know, I haven't tried that one. Q. Does it matter which chest I open first? Should I open the closest one to me as I enter? A. I found no statistical correlation. I don't have the data to say YES and likewise, I can't say NO. Q. Do I have to open all the chests in a room? A. Yes, if you leave, the remaining chests will disappear... forever. Q. Why is the room with four chests an exception? A. I don't know. This room has some peculiar traits. You can leave and the chests do not disappear. The timing method favors the "Original" method. The LAST chest doesn't always fall into the pattern. Other than that, I would just be guessing. If you find out, let ME know! Q. Does the order depend on other events in the game before I get to Omega Ruins? A. I don't think so, because the timing method has been tested by others with a variety of "events" leading up to their appearance in the Ruins and their results seem consistent. Q. How many times have you achieved Warp Sphere x99? A. 14, over the course of this study. Not all have been through counting though. I tried variations during the sampling, so the actual results are 'tainted' (statistically speaking, of course). Q. Based on your results alone, what is the chance that your results could happen all by chance? A. Good question, I would've had to have been VERY lucky indeed. I recorded a 70% increase in non- trapped chests using this method. I still screw up on the timing myself, but now I usually know before I press X that I'm just going for chance. Q. How do you count? A. 1,2,3...no seriously, I tried one one thousand, two one thousand, etc. but I couldn't get consistent enough with it so I personally used one thousand, one...one thousand, two...one thousand, three, etc. I guess its whatever works for you. Try using a metronome or something to help. Q. If I miss the timing on a chest, what should I do? A. Go for it. You now have a 50/50 chance of getting back on the timing set up from the first chest. Consider yourself lucky if you hit it. Next time, keep track of your counting. Q. I can't get your theory to work. What should I do? A. Your timing is off. If you can clear the first two rooms (five chests) MOST of the time, then you are on the right track. If not, keep practicing. Q. I'm skeptical, does your method really work? A. I was too at first. All I ask is that you try it. Others have and say it does. I'm OK with that. Written by: Darryl Knight ---------------------------- XVI - 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%). --------------------------- XVII - 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ========================= VIII) 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 captureable monster. Any additional monster will not be added to the total number. Q6 - 'Captureable' 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 captureable 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 - OK, you've convinced me! Lemme at them. A8 - 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. A01 - BESAID ISLAND Captureable monsters found here are Dingos, Condors and Water Flans.

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 Auto-Med. 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 for their info: Gil earned, scan and sensor infos got lost cos you can't view them or you can't earn them. In strategy part you'll find recommended armor to be used and recommended weapon to be used. Then the strategy for boss itself follows. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # IN-DEPTH INFO AND STRATEGIES FOR MONSTER CRETINS! *********************** 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 5. Items stolen: 4x Remedy/2x Mana Spring 6. Items dropped: 2x/4x Mana Tonic; 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 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 block the damage in any way when it connects, so this leads me to believe this attack's damage can't be blocked), 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. There's not much you can do about predicting its attacks anyway... or maybe there is, yet I still need to figure it out. Weeding is complete! 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, 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 88, 60, 12, 1, 36, 15, 0, 150 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), Auto-Phoenix 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 2. Monster's HP: 520000/10000 3. Monster's MP: 63 4. AP gained when monster is defeated: 8000/8000 5. Items stolen: 4x Petrify Grenade/1x Three Stars 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 9. Monster's el. info: NS 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) 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 1. Name: Cactuar King 2. Monster's HP: 100000/10000 3. Monster's MP: 0 4. AP gained when monster is defeated: 8000/8000 5. Items stolen: 2x Chocobo Wing/1x Designer Wallet 6. Items dropped: 3x/6x Blessed 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 255,100,255,255,80, 15, 240,180 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% 12. Armor abilities: Def+5%, Def+10%, Def+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: - 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, 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. 15. Special note: For unlocking Abyss Worm you'll get 99x Shadow Gem. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---> CHIMERAGEIST <--- ---> A094 1. Name: Chimerageist 2. Monster's HP: 120000/10000 3. Monster's MP: 30 4. AP gained when monster is defeated: 8000/8000 5. Items stolen: 2x Mana Spring/2x Stamina Spring 6.

Armor abilities: Fire Eater, Ice Eater, Water Eater 13. Monster's attacks: a) Megiddo Flame - FATT VS one chr - fire mgd b) Blizzara - IATT VS one chr - ice mgd c) Thundara - LATT VS one chr - lightning mgd d) 'Assault' - VS one chr - phd e) Aqua Breath - WATT VS all chrs - water mgd 14. Monster strategy: RAA: Water Eater, Fire Eater, Auto-Haste, Auto-Protect 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. 15. Special note: For unlocking Chimerageist you'll get 60x Farplane Wind. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---> DON TONBERRY <--- ---> A162 1. Name: Don Tonberry 2. Monster's HP: 480000/10000 3. Monster's MP: 120 4. AP gained when monster is defeated: 8000/8000 5. Items stolen: 2x Candle of Life/1x Designer Wallet 6.

Armor abilities: Darkproof, Deathproof, Poisonproof, Silenceproof, Sleepproof, Slowproof, Stoneproof, Zombieproof 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---> CATOBLEPAS <--- ---> A086 1.

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*. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---> ABADDON <--- ---> A001 1. Name: Abaddon 2. Monster's HP: 380000/10000 3. Monster's MP: 780 4. AP gained when monster is defeated: 8000/8000 5. Items stolen: 3x Purifying Salt/1x Shining Gem 6.

Armor abilities: Mdef+5%, Mdef+10%, Mdef+20% 13. Monster's attacks: a) Blizzaga - IATT VS one chr - ice d. b) Thundaga - LATT VS one chr - lightning d. 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---> VORBAN <--- ---> A617 1. Name: Vorban 2. Monster's HP: 630000/10000 3. Monster's MP: 120 4. AP gained when monster is defeated: 8000/8000 5. Items stolen: 2x Healing Spring/1x Stamina Tablet 6.

Armor abilities: Def+5%, Def+10%, Def+20% 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ************************** Part B - Species Creations ************************** ---> FENRIR <--- ---> A201 1.

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). Ruin Fangs can be avoided with high Eva, but other two can't. He doesn't have set movement pattern. 15. Special note: For unlocking Fenrir you'll get 99x Chocobo Feather. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---> ORNITHOLESTES <--- ---> A410 1.

Monster's attacks: a) Drain Touch - VS one chr - phd - HP deducted from attacked chr is added to Ornitholestes' HP b) Poison Touch - GRATTP VS one chr - phd + Poison - tears off 75% current 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. 15. Special note: For unlocking Ornitholestes you'll get 99x Stamina Spring. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---> PTERYX <--- ---> A440 1. Name: Pteryx 2.

Armor abilities: Def+5%, Def+10%, Def+20% 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. 15. Special note: For unlocking Pteryx you'll get 99x Mega Phoenix. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---> HORNET <--- ---> A259 1. Name: Hornet 2.

Monster's attacks: a) Bewitching Stab - VS one chr - phd + Confusion b) Venomous Stab - VS one chr - phd + Poison c) 'Stab' - VS one chr - phd + KO, Sleep, Silence and Darkness (Sleep, Silence 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. 15. Special note: For unlocking Hornet you'll get 60x Mana Tonic. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---> VIDATU <--- ---> A616 1. Name: Vidatu 2.

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. 15. Special note: For unlocking Vidatu you'll get 99x Mana Spring. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---> ONE-EYE <--- ---> A407 1. Name: One-Eye 2.

Monster's attacks: a) Shockwave - NATT VS all chrs - mgd + Confuse, Sleep, Silence, Darkness and Slow (Sleep, Silence and Darkness are lifted after ten chr's turns) b) Black Stare - VS one chr - phd + Curse 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. 15. Special note: For unlocking One-Eye you'll get 60x Stamina Tablet. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---> JUMBO FLAN <--- ---> A282 1. Name: Jumbo Flan 2. Monster's HP: 1300000/99999 3. Monster's MP: 999 4. AP gained when monster is defeated: 10000/10000 5. Items stolen: 4x Lunar Curtain/1x Mana Tablet 6.

Armor abilities: Fire Eater, Ice Eater, Water Eater 13. Monster's attacks: a) Blizzaga - IATT VS one chr - ice d. b) Thundaga - LATT VS one chr - lightning d. c) Waterga - WATT VS one chr - water d. d) Firaga - FATT VS one chr - fire d. e) Flare - NATT VS one chr - mgd f) Ultima - NATT VS all chrs - mgd g) Regen - on one chr (only if that chr is under Reflect) - adds Regen 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 ELEMENTAL <--- ---> A385 1.

Monster strategy: RAA: Auto-Haste, Auto-Shell, Auto-Phoenix RWA: Break Damage Limit, Magic-Counter, First Strike 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. 15. Special note: For unlocking Nega Elemental you'll get 99x Star Curtain. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---> TANKET <--- ---> A584 1. Name: Tanket 2.

Monster's attacks: a) Attack - VS one chr - phd + Berserk and delays chr's next turn b) Rush Attack - VS one chr - phd + Berserk and delays chr's next turn - this 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. 15. Special note: For unlocking Tanket you'll get 99x Gold Hourglass. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---> FAFNIR <--- ---> A197 1. Name: Fafnir 2.

Monster strategy: RAA: Auto-Haste, Auto-Protect, Auto-Phoenix, Auto-Shell RWA: Break Damage Limit, Counter-attack, First Strike 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. 15.

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?

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. 15.

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.

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. 15.

Monster's equip. dropped info: 3-4 slots, 1 ability already present, 99% probability of equipment piece being dropped 11. Weapon abilities: Triple Overdrive 12. Armor abilities: Auto-Potion 13. Monster's attacks: 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 Auto-Shell 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. 15.

Monster's stats info: St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac 87, 130,102,120,55, 15, 0, 200 9. Monster's el. info: Variable 10. Monster's equip. dropped info: 2-4 slots, 1 ability already present, 99% probability of equipment piece being dropped 11. Weapon abilities: One MP Cost 12. Armor abilities: Auto-Phoenix 13. Monster's attacks: a) Ultima - CATT & NATT VS all chrs - mgd b) Hydraulic Press - (CATT sometimes) & GRATTP VS all chrs - phd - tears off 93,75% MAX HP 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. 15.

Armor abilities: Darkproof, Poisonproof, Silenceproof, Sleepproof, Slowproof, Stoneproof, Zombieproof 13. Monster's attacks: a) Toxic Cloud - NATT VS all chrs - mgd + Poison, Confusion and Curse 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.

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 Auto-Life 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.

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 15. Special note: For unlocking Neslug you'll get 99x Winning Formula. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---> ULTIMA BUSTER <--- ---> A606 1.

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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---> SHINRYU <--- ---> A486 1. Name: Shinryu 2. Monster's HP: 2000000/99999 3. Monster's MP: 72 4. AP gained when monster is defeated: 50000/50000 5. Items stolen: 1x Gambler's Spirit/1x Three Stars 6. Items dropped: 1x/2x Wings to Discovery; 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 - 255 turns for Doom 8. Monster's stats info: St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac 92, 60, 86, 98, 70, 15, 0, 200 9. Monster's el. info: NS 10. Monster's equip. dropped info: 2-4 slots, 1 ability already present, 99% probability of equipment piece being dropped 11. Weapon abilities: Double AP 12. Armor abilities: Auto-Med 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 X-Potions 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---> NEMESIS <--- ---> A386 1. Name: Nemesis 2. Monster's HP: 10000000/99999 3. Monster's MP: 9999 4. AP gained when monster is defeated: 55000/55000 5. Items stolen: 1x Lv.4 Key Sp./1x Warp Sphere 6. Items dropped: 1x/2x Warp Sphere; 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 - 255 turns for Doom 8. Monster's stats info: St, Df, Mg, Mf, Ag, Lu, Ev, Ac 255,150,255,150,200,0, 0, 150 9. Monster's el. info: Absorbs all elements, including holy 10. Monster's equip. dropped info: 3-4 slots, 1 ability already present, 99% probability of equipment piece being dropped 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 in-between 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. Note: I have been given info that Nemesis has 8 possible attack set-ups, thus making him at least somehow predictable. With this in mind I entered into battle against Nemesis and compiled following info. I - Whatever attack pattern was present in NTSC version, it's sure as hell gone for PAL. II - Support for my theory is here below, where you see 11 possible attack patterns I was 'lucky' enough to be target of. Even when I thought I had the guy, Nemesis used a different attack. Argh! 1.
