It should also be compatible with the Pal/International Version. Also this guide is in use for Rikku-Only and Rikku-Only No Overdrives. If you want to add suggestions please feel free to e-mail me. Angry e-mails will not be responded, so it’s basically a waste of time to try. Also if you need additional help also feel free to e-mail me. You should only try this challenge if you have completed the game once. Also you should have some knowledge of Rikku’s Mixes. This guide will give you strategies for enemies and the such. Since I beat the game a few times, there will be no in-depth story. ======================================================================== Rules (0003) ======================================================================== -You may only use Rikku -You must not stray from Rikku's part of the Sphere Grid until after BFA -You cannot revive or heal other characters -Using the Sphere Grid for other Characters is not allowed -In random encounters the other characters must escape as soon as possible. -A petrified or Ko’ed Rikku is considered Game Over -In boss battles other characters must continuously change weapons so they take full damage -You may not use actions to make other character take less damage -When Rikku isn’t available you play a normal NSG(No Sphere Grid) challenge -No customization for other characters -No Auto-Haste, Auto-Phoenix, Auto-Med, or Auto-Regen for other characters Optional Rules: -No Escaping(NE) -No Blitzball(NBB) -No Overdrives(NO) -No Summons(NS) -No[No Encounter](NNE) ======================================================================== Overdrives and Overdrive Modes (0004) ======================================================================== Rikku’s overdrive is no doubt the best in the game. She can mix all sorts of different items together to create super powerful ones. I will list the most Common Mix list to use in the game. I’m only going to give the ones for one party member since you cant use the others. Except a few healing ones. Healing Mixes Ultra Potion = Potion + Potion. Heals all Party members fully Panacea = Potion + Antidote. Heals abnormal Status Ultra Cure = Power Distiller + Smoke Bomb. Full Hp/status ailments all Mega Elixir = Potion + Elixir. Full Hp and Mp Recovery to all Super Elixir = Potion + Mega Elixir. Status, Hp and Mp Healed Completely Effect & Stat Boosting Nul-All = Potion + Lightning Marble/Bomb Core/Electro Marble. Vitality = Hi-Potion + Hi-Potion. Doubles max Hp for battle Mana = Potion + Ether. Doubles max mp for battle Mighty Wall = Antidote + Lunar Curtain. Shell and Protect Mighty G. = Remedy + Lunar Curtain. Shell, Protect and Haste Super Mighty G. = Lightning Marble + Light Curtain. Hyper Mighty G. = Lunar Curtain + Underdog’s Secret. Freedom X = Antidote + Twin Stars. Hero Drink= Potion + Designer Wallet. High critical hit rate Quartet of 9= Bomb core + Underdog’s Secret. Random does 9999 Trio of 999 = Lightning Marble + Dark Matter. All always hits for 9999 Hot Spurs= Elixir + Level 1 Key Sphere. Non-Elemental Frag Grenade = Speed Sphere + Speed Sphere Blaster Mines = Mana Sphere + Musk Hazardous Shell = Farplane Wind + Speed Sphere Pineapple = Lightning Gem + Antarctic Wind Calamity Bomb= Grenade + Level 3 Key Sphere Cluster Bomb = Bomb Core + Shinning Gem Potato Masher = Fire Gem + Lightning Marble Tallboy = Grenade + Twin Stars Chaos Grenade = Sleeping Powder + Level 3 Key Sphere Nega Burst = Silence Grenade + Shadow Gem Black Hole = Shadow Gem + Underdog’s Secret Supernova = Underdog's Secret + Underdog's Secret Fire Element Heat Blaster = Antidote + Bomb Fragment Fire Storm = Antidote + Fire Gem Burning Soul = Bomb Fragment + Underdog’s Secret Brimstone = Bomb Core + Sleeping Powder Abaddon Flame = Bomb Core + Chocobo Feather Thunder Element Thunder Bolt = Electro Marble + Grenade Rolling Thunder = Lightning Marble + Lightning Marble Lightning Bolt = Lightning Marble + Level 2 Key Sphere Electroshock = Lighting Marble + Hypello Potion Thunderblast = Lightning Marble + Dream Powder Water Element Waterfall = Antidote + Fish Scale Flash Flood = Grenade + Grenade Tidal Wave = Dragon Scale + Level 2 Key Sphere Aqua Toxin = Dragon Scale + Hypello Potion Dark Rain = Water Gem + Sleeping Powder Ice Element Snow Flurry = Antarctic Wind + Grenade Icefall = Arctic Wind + Arctic Wind Winter Storm = Arctic Wind + Level 2 Key Sphere Black Ice = Arctic Wind + Hypello Potion Krysta = Ice Gem + Silence Grenade ======================================================================== OverDrive Modes ======================================================================== Since this is a SCC(Single Character Challenge) you will want to make use of “Loner”. This overdrive mode charges within 7 turns. Keep changing weapons to make it charge faster. Changing weapons and haste together works perfectly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Walkthrough (0005) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Each location will include the random encounters from the area and include strategies to beat them. Also there will be a list of important steal items at the top of each section. Well none until you get Rikku in the Moonflow. ======================================================================== Zanarkand (0006) ======================================================================== Not putting a strategy for sin scales because one hit kills them. Time to get started. Watch the opening scene. Follow Auron until you battle some sin scales. Beat the crap out of them. Continue on up to Sinspawn Ammes, another easy battle. Just hack away. Watch the scene. ======================================================================== Baaj Temple/Al Bhed Ship (0007) ======================================================================== Alright, first if you have another save file with all Al Bhed primers I would suggest you go west to find a stair case to download those primers on to this file. Comes in handy when you can get 99 Underdog’s Secrets on Airship. Steal Items: Grenades from Klikk and from Piranhas. Needed for Flash Flood Mix for Tros. Swim up, fight the Sahagins and then get chased in the Temple by Geosgaeno. Find Withered Bouquet and the Flint. Hi-potions are found if you continue up when you get the bouquet. WOOT!!!! Rikku’s first appearance. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ KLIKK HP:1500 AP:5 Overkill:400 ////////////////////////// Starts as just Tidus just attack until...RIKKU makes a great first impression. Now you can only use Rikku now, so steal grenades then start balsting him those grenades you stole...and well shes comes with 2. Rikku knocks you out…your on ship…talk to the Al Bhed close to save sphere to get 3 potions. Now time for swimming with the Piranha’s. I suggest stealing about 5-8 Grenades from them, so you’ll have some by the time you get Rikku back in the Moonflow. If your doing RONO you WILL need at LEAST 6-8 grenades to kill Tros. I recommend 10 just to be safe. More story and a…BOSS FIGHT! This Strategy below is for RO not RONO TROS: Hp:2200 Overkill:600 AP:8(12) Steal: Grenades!!!!! Easy battle. I recommend you get the “Loner” overdrive mode her if you can, if not you can always get it later. Kill Tidus off or wait for Tros to do it for you. He will eventually use Nautilise Charge which will do a nice bit of damage to you. You should defend before his turns, once you get Loner finish him with a Flash Flood. Overkill!!!! RONO Strategy TROS the Mighty Alright, again i suggest you get Loner but you can get it later. Defend before his turns while you wait to get Loner. Once you get Loner start blasting him with Grenades hopefully you'll get OVERKILL!!!!! If you run out of grenades, you can steal some from him. I had 10 grenades but only used 6 because one got critical. :( Rikku is gone now until the Moonflow…Remember now you must play game as a normal NSG challenge!!! You do well to remember that... ~7 Hours of Gameplay later...Rikku back WOOT!!! what? did you expect me to put strategies for other bosses before you get Rikku did ya??? Hehehehhe i'm joking they all there:P ======================================================================== Besaid (0008) ======================================================================== Storyline. Talk the aurochs to get some items and gil. If you want you can get Moon Crest. Follow your Jamaican friend...he shoves you in some water...Tidus Thinking" MAN, my hair is ruined...again...*sigh*". Fight some Pirahnas. Get your whooping 1-3 AP. Not much here, rest , go to Temple , meet the "Beautiful Summoner". Get some affection points towards Yuna if you say she's cute. Time for some Tutorial battles...just pwned everything. Once these battles are over, hike back to Besaid to get your mangled Energy Blast from the mangy dog. Test out Valefor agaisnt a Garunda. Charge overdrive and murdelize it with Enery Blast. Now since you can encounter some enemies here i'll some strats... Dingo-HP:125 AP:2 Overkill:188 Attack once with Tidus. Condor-HP:95 AP:2 Overkill:143 Attack once with Wakka. Water Flan-HP:315 AP:2 Overkill:473 Attack once with Lulu. Were those strategies really neccessary?? Making me waste my time...oh well more reading for you:P You'll be hiking along...and the graphics change and the Ronso scum starts flying at you...too bad Yuna's most trustworthy guardian is...useless in battle. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ KIMAHRI HP:750 AP:3(4) Overkill:300 ////////////////////////// Pathetic fight. Attack like 5 times and he'll have his tail between his legs. Heal with potions if necessary. Use Spiral Cut if you want an overkill. Talk to the people near the boat to get some items. The Seeker's Ring you get is quite nice for Yuna. ======================================================================== S.S. Liki (0009) ======================================================================== Watch scenes and whatnot, then go below deck to loan O'aka some cash, if you want. 101 gil should be plenty for him. Go find Yuna's bag to get yourself up to 20 Potions. Oh, and it just so happens that Sin of all things comes and attacks you... \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ SIN & SINSCALES HP-SIN:2000 Sinscale: 200 AP-10(15) Sinscale:2(3) Overkill-SIN:1000 Sinscale:400 /////////////////////////////////// Battle is easy peasy. Really easy Summon Valefor, use fire(~300) twice then use Energy Blast(~1400) for Overkill. The MORE challenging way. Take out 2 of the Sinscales with Tidus and Kimahri. I REAPEAT 2. Sin will shoot more down on deck if you take out all 3. Then replace Tidus and Yuna for Lulu and Wakka and attack with Wakka's ball and use Lulu's magic to kill it. Some more Story...Tidus falls in water, Wakka follows...this leads to funny scene...Tidus getting owned by some Sinscales. By the Way another Boss Fight, if ya didn't already know. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ SINSPAWN ECHUILLES HP:2000 AP:12 ///////////////////////////// DON'T ATTACK SINSCALES!!! They are annoying yes, but they keep comming back anyway. So, make Wakka use Dark Attack to Blind Echuilles, then just attack like mad. Watch out for Blender. It would be a good idea to heal after that. More story happens..then you arrive in.... ======================================================================== Kilika (0010) ======================================================================== Watch Yuna dance, and work that Rod. Save the kid GET the Ether. Proceed up to the Forest. Some Enemies here that i will give strategies for: Random Encounters: Ragora-HP:780 AP:20 Overkill:1170 -Lulu use Fire twice and Tidus attack once, finish with Kimahri if needed. Dinonix-HP:140 AP:9 Overkill:210 -One attack from Tidus is usually a kill, attack with Wakka/Kimahri if needed. Killer Bee-HP:110 AP:9 Overkill:165 -Lulu Blizzard once, or Wakka equipped with Scout(Icestrike) for Overkill. Yellow Element-HP:300 AP:9 Overkill:450 -Lulu cast Water once Group Encounters: Ragora x2-HP, AP, Overkill same as above -same as above, just do it twice. Dinonix + Killer Bee Tidus attack Dinonix for kill and Wakka attack with Scout or Lulu with Blizzard. Dinonix + Yellow Element Tidus attack Dinonix and Lulu cast Water on Yellow Element = Dead Yellow Element + Killer Bee Lulu cast Water on Element and Wakka attack Killer Bee for Kill. Yellow Element + Killer Bee + Dinonix Lulu cast Water, Wakka attack Bee, Tidus attack Dinonix for death Ragora + Killer Bee x2 Wakka attack one Bee, and attack other when he gets another turn. Lulu cast Fire twice on Ragora and Tidus continue to attack it. Don't forget to get Luck Sphere and Nulblaze Shield...comes in handy sometimes. Go talk to Luzzu and Gatta. You can fight Lord Ochu now...or later and completly owned it once you Get Ifrit. Either way, i'll put a strategy for with and without Ifrit...like it's needed...BTW you'll need some Antidotes or Yuna's Esuna for this battle. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ LORD OCHU W/O Ifrit HP:4649 AP:40(60) Overkill:800 ////////////////////////// Firestrike would be helpful, but not needed. Tidus attacks for ~140 damage and use Kimahri's overdrive, Jump, if you still have it from the Tutorial battle. It does ~300 damage. Then use Lulu pound it with Fire magic for ~330 damage. Heal HP and cure Poison after Poison Claw. Lord Ochu falls asleep ~2000 HP. WAKE IT IMMEADIATLY, it has REGEN. It uses Earthquake for 1/2 HP. Heal if you want. Then continue to use Lulu's fire magic and attack with Kimahri and Tidus. LOL in this fight i got HP spheres, Beladonna Wand and Serum Ring.:P :) Now for the Lord Ochu Strategy with Ifrit...What? did you expect me to put it after the Sinpawn fight???? Too Bad...This is my FAQ...It'll go my way or i'll end it here.. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Lord Ochu W/ Ifrit ///////////////////////////// Yuna summon Ifrit, Use Meteor Strike for ~500. Wait for OD to charge, heal with fire if needed. Use OD for ~1600 damage, it falls asleep now. Then blast on it with Fire for ~350 damage. If Ifrit dies from Water, just use Lulu to whack it with Fire. May not take as long as other challenge, but still effective i s'pose. Watch the race scence...talk to Lulu after...she has some crazy laugh that makes me cry laughing. Another Boss fight with another Sinspawn piece. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ SINSPAWN GENNAUX: HP-Body:3000 Tentacles:450 AP-Body:48(72) Tentacles: 5(7) ////////////////////////////////// Lulu use Magic once plus Tidus and Kimahri attack = One dead Tentacle. Do this twice to take out the other tentacle. Tentacles do a pathetic ~100 damage, heal if needed. Lulu use Fire magic twice to do massive damage..Sarcasm...then attack with Tidus once, and if needed Kimahri. It takes ~800 damage for him to come out of his shell. Once shell is gone, attack with Tidus and Kimahri. Use OD if you want, makes battle go faster and get Lulu to cast Fire like there's no tomorrow. Use antidote after Venom(~120 + poison) and cure after Staccato(~150). Should go down easily. I got a Darktouch weapon for Tidus from him:P Now, continue on to Temple and do the Cloisters. Get Red Armlet, helps agaisnt Seymour and Natus for him live from some Multi-spells, while you get Rikku set up. GO. GET. ON. SHIP. ======================================================================== S.S. Winno (0011) ======================================================================== Proceed with Story. Now, GET THE JECHT SHOT!!!!NAO!!!!!! SO, you can win the Goers match easier. ...What a waste of space for this small piece... ======================================================================== Luca (0012) ======================================================================== Meet up with Seymour, Mika and all those loons. Now, Buy Stunning Steel FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS MIGHTY!!!!!!!. It helps agaisnt some bosses before you get Rikku back. Encounters: Worker-HP:300 AP:7 Overkill:600 -Lulu cast Thunder on one for death, and Tidus and Kimahri whack on the other one. GO look for Auron in the Cafe, watch Kimahri OHKO Yenke:P...and Yuna gets Kidnapped...GO STORM THE DOCKS!!! You have to fight some Workers here, i SAY get some HI-Potion and X-potions. Better than paying for them...Another Boss Fight... \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ OBLIZERATOR: HP:6000 AP:36(54) Overkill:600 /////////////////////////////// ZOMG! this is the su><ors. Charge crane thrice with Lulu's Thunder to deal 5167 and now he can't do anything. Heal if you want to after his attacks if needed, before Lulu charges crane. Tidus use his first turns to Slow him first, then use crane. Tidus and Kimahri just whack at it until it goes BOOOOOM! Hopefully he drops a Lightning Strike weapon for Tidus or Wakka, it'll make the Sahagin Chiefs easier. I got myself a Thunder Ball. WOOT! Play the Blitz match--All i can say is...EFFING WIN!!!! To get Strength Sphere, so make sure you win...Got it?? Now some Forced Encounters: Sahagin Chiefs x18 HP:170 AP:2 Overkill:340 -Attack the ones who are about to attack, so you take less damage. If you got a Lightningstrike weapons(s) you can kill in one hit. But if you don't just attack and heal if below 150 HP. Now, you have a forced Encounter with Auron. OHKO from Auron = Dead Vouivre Garunda HP:1800 AP:28 Overkill:500 -Auron Power Break, to lower damage. Wakka use Dark Attack, and just Tidus attack until dead. Use Dark Attack again once it goes, the battle will be yours. Watch Seymour obliterate all fiends with Anima. Watch the laughing scene...it's my favorite!!!....yeah right...Continue on to the Mi'Hen Highroad. ======================================================================== Mi'Hen Highroad (0013) ======================================================================== Enemies: Bomb-HP:850 AP:22 Overkill:560 -Lulu cast Blizzard 3 times. Can't kill him with Tidus and Ice Brand, not strong enough. Mi'Hen Fang-HP:160 AP:20 Overkill:240 -2 attack from Tidus or Tidus + Wakka for a kill. Floating Eye-HP:140 AP:21 Overkill:210 -2 attacks from Wakka Raldo-HP:240 AP:20 Overkill:360 -OHKO from Auron Dual Horn-HP:1875 AP:42 Overkill:560 -Wakka use Dark Attack, Auron Power Break, then continue to attack with Auron, Tidus and Kimahri.

Vouivre-HP:255 AP:24 Overkill:383 -Auron OHKOs it. Ipiria-HP:180 AP:24 Overkill:270 -Lulu cast Blizzard. Group Encounters: Bomb -Cast Blizzard thrice for a kill. Heal Lulu with potion if needed. Bomb x3 -Tidus with Nulblaze Sheild makes sure you can't die. So, cast Blizzard thrice to kill one. Continue to do that until they die, don't revive. Just keep attacking with Tidus until they use Self-Destruct on him. Floating Eye x2 + Bomb -Wakka attacks twice to take out an Eye, then do it again for other Eye. Cast Blizzard thrice to kill Bomb. Bomb x2 + Dual Horn -Cast Blizzard thrice to take out one Bomb, then do it again for the other Bomb. Dark Attack Dual Horn, Auron use Power Break. Then continue to attack with others.

Mi'Hen Fang + Raldo + White Element -OHKO from Auron on Raldo. Attack twice with Tidus/Wakka to kill Mi'Hen Fang. Cast Fire with Lulu plus another attack for a kill.

Vouivre + Ipiria + Floating Eye -Auron OHKOs Vouivre, Tidus attacks Ipiria twice, Wakka attacks Eye twice. Easy battles, unless you get Ambushed you might have some problems. Everything else should be fine. On the Highroad get the Ice Brand from the chest, and get Hunter's Spear from a passing person. Fight Belgemine, to get a Echo Ring. Get to the Agency, and watch Wakka whine some more. Then go out to Fight Chocobo Eater. You get 2x Mega Potion from Rin. Firestrike weapoons come in handy agaisnt him if you got any on the way, but they're not needed. Start with Tidus, Auron and Lulu. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Chocobo Eater ////////////////////////// Ok, 4 things can happen here: 1.You get pwned by him 2.You fall off Cliff 3.You pwn him 4.You push him off the Cliff HP:10,000 AP:90(135) Overkill:800 We'll i'm going for number 3.Start by switching Tidus for Wakka. Then use Dark attack, then switch back to Tidus to Slow it down. Less damage and not many turn for him to push you off the Cliff. Auron use Power Break. Lulu cast Fire like crazy. After ~1500 he falls on his back. His armour is, so more damage. After ~500 damage he gets back up. Switch Wakka for Kimahri and use ODs when you get them. Then switch Kimahri for Yuna and summon Ifrit and keep using Fire(~370) and use Hellfire(~1800) when it charges. After his OD Ifrit will die cause of 3 consectutive turns from Chocobo Eater. Lulu continue to cast Fire and Auron use Power Break when he gets up from being on his back and Kimahri just attack. Continue this until he dies. Get your free chocobo ride, get the Fortune Sphere and all the other Items for gil if you want. Get the Blue haired Maester(I wonder how much gel and time it would take to get his haor like that?). ======================================================================== Mushroom Rock Road (0014) ======================================================================== Enemies: Red Element-HP:450 AP:32 Overkill:675 -Lulu cast Blizzard twice. It's Fire hurts...so heal if necessary. Garunda-HP:4000 AP:170 Overkill:560 -Wakka use Dark attack, Auron use Power Break and Tidus use Stunning Steel to slow him. After those skills, continue to attack until dead. Re-apply Darkness and Power Break if needed. Funguar-HP:540 AP:44 Overkill:810 -Lulu cast Fire for ~350, counters with Powder. Your asleep for 1 turn, then use Fire again for kill. Gandarewa-HP:148 AP:32 Overkill:220 -Lulu cast Water and Wakka attack. Lamashtu-HP:275 AP:32 Overkill:413 -Usually Auron OHKOs it, if not attack with Kimahri. Raptor-HP:200 AP:32 Overkill:300 -Lulu cast Blizzard on it. Group Encounters: Lamashtu + Red Element + Gandarewa -Auron OHKO Lamashtu, Lulu cast Blizzard twice on Red Element, Wakka attack twice on Gandarewa. Raptor + Red Element + Gandarewa -Tidus attacks Raptor twice, Wakka attacks Gandarewa twice, Lulu cast Blizzard twice. Raptor + Red Element + Funguar -Tidus attacks Raptor twice, Lulu cast Blizzard twice on Red Element, Lulu cast Fire on Funguar, it counters with Pollen. Fire does heavy damage. Lulu cast fire again when wake up. Red Element + Lamashtu + Raptor -Auron OHKOs Lamashtu(Hopefully, if not attack with Kimahri), Tidus attack Raptor twice, and Lulu cast Blizzard twice. Raptor + Funguar + Red Element -Tidus attacks Raptor twice, Lulu casts Blizzard twice on Red Element. Cast Fire on Funguar, it counters with Pollen. When you wake up cast Fire again. Funguar + Red Element + Gandarewa -Wakka attacks Gandarewa twice, Lulu casts Blizzard twice on Red Element. Cast Fire on Funguar, it counters with Pollen. When you wake up cast Fire again. A lot of theses battles are easy if you have Tidus equipped with Nulblaze Shield, since most of the enemies cast Fire. Maybe i shouldn't have wrote those strats...they all basically the same...oh well. LOL watch Auron be an arrogant SOB, :D, when Seymour asks him where hes been the last ten years. After funny seen, get to see Seymour's TRUE personality, get Tough Bangle for Lulu helps agaisnt Gui. Buy equipment if you want, if anything get Nulfrost Armguard for Wakka. Go to Command Center, get chests there and watch the scenes. Make Gatta or Luzza die. Scene in Djose when Gatta dies is quite the laigh. Go talk to the dude to fight Gui. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ SINSPAWN GUI: Head:4000 Body:12,000 Arms:800(They respawn) AP-Body:400 Head:48 Arms:37 Overkill-Body:800 Head:800 Arms:500 ////////////////////////////////////////////////////// This battle will take a decent amount of time to KILL!!! Oh, how I hate this battle :(. Now, Kill Head first. You don't want it to get a Venom on you. First, you will need to use Power Break, reduce that annoying Punch attack by A LOT!. Ok, so now Yuna summon Valefor and cast Fire on Head. Use Energy Blast on Head. When Valefor dies, summon Ifrit and cast Fire and use Hellfire. And if that doesn't kill Head, Use Wakka to attack Head and Lulu to cast Fire. Heal poison if he uses it(Hopefully he won't). Once the Head is gone, Get Auron, Kimahri and Lulu in your party. Auron and Kimahri attack Arms and Lulu cast Fire on Body. When Arms die, Auron and Kimahri attack Body and Lulu continue to cast Fire. Use Phoenix Downs, Potions/Hi-Potions when necessary. When Lulu runs out of MP, which she will, use an Ether. Continue to hack away on it and blast with magic. Not to long after it will die. Whew...Palms sweating from long battle?? Watch Sin blow the hell out of the Al Bhed and Crews of What. Then teh Gui comes back and wants more DEATH!! So, give the freakin' Caterpillar MORE!!!! \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ SINSPAWN GUI: HP-Body:6000 Head:1000 Arms:800 //////////////////////////////////// Seymour kills Head in one hit. Then 5 more -ra spells takes out Body. Easy enough?? Make Tidus go Poke/Talk to Gatta and chase down his Old Man. Auron now mouths off at Kinoc, now go to Djose Highroad. ======================================================================== Djose Higroad/Djose Temple (0015) ======================================================================== Get the Stoneproof Ring from a Crusader on the way to the Temple. I suggest you run to Temple then run to Moonflow, Escaping comes in handy, but i will write strats to kill them anyway...since i'm such a nice guy... These Strats will include how to Kill NSG and RO/RONO style. Enemies: Basilisk-HP:2025 AP:140 Overkill:924 -Wakka Dark Attack, Auron and Kimahri attack and pwn it. If you have a Poison Touch/Strike weapon comes in handy to kill him faster. -Rikku use Smoke Bomb and some Antarctic Winds to kill him. Funguar-HP:540 AP:44 Overkill:810 -Lulu cast Fire for ~350, counters with Powder. Your asleep for 1 turn, then use Fire again for kill. -Rikku use 2 Antarctic Winds for a kill or 2 Grenades. Bite Bug-HP:200 AP:40 Overkill:300 -Lulu cast Blizzard for an Overkill or Wakka attack with Scout(Icestrike) twice. -Rikku use an Antarctic Wind for overkill or an a Grenade. Bunyip-HP:400 AP:48 Overkill:600 -Auron + Kimahri = Death. -Rikku use Antarctic Wind for Overkill or 2 Grenades. Garm-HP:240 AP:48 Overkill:360 -Tidus/Wakka attack twice. -Rikku use Grenade or Antarctic Wind. Ochu-HP:7200 -Lulu cast Fire like mad, Heal poison after Poison Claw. Others just attack. Firestrike comes in handy here. -Rikku use a Petrify Grenade or use a Stone Touch/Strike weapon. Simurgh-HP:200 AP:48 Overkill:300 -Wakka/Tidus attack twice. It has no Evasion so anyone can hit it. -Rikku throw Grenade. Snow Flan-HP:600 AP:48 Overkill:900 -Lulu cast Fire twice. Blizzard hits hard, heal if necessary. -Rikku throw a Smoke Bomb. Group Encounters: Bite Bug x2 + Basilisk -Lulu take one Bite Bug out with Blizzard and Wakka attack the other one with Scout twice. Wakka Dark Attack it and have Yuna out so you can't lose. Attack with others for death. You could always summon Aeons to be faster.:P -Rikku use Smoke Bomb and use 3 Antarctic Winds for kill. Garm + Bunyip + Snow Flan -Tidus/Wakka attack Garm twice. Auron/Kimahri attack Bunyip twcie. Lulu cast Fire twice. -Rikku throw Petrify Grenade...'nuff said. Lamashtu + Raptor + Funguar -Auron OHKOs Lamashtu, Wakka/Tidus attack Raptor twice. Lulu cast Fire on Funguar, if it counters with Pollen, cast Fire again when Lulu wakes up. -Rikku throw Petrify Grenade...PWNED!!! Bite Bug x2 + Funguar -Lulu cast Blizzard on Bite Bug, Wakka attack twice for other. Lulu cast Fire on Funguar, if it counters with Pollen, cast Fire again when Lulu wakes up. -Rikku throw Petrify Grenade...Easy!! Basilisk + Funguar x 2 -Umm...not a good battle. Dark Attack with Wakka, others attack for kill. Heal after Fire from Funguars if needed. Lulu cast Fire on Funguar, if it counters with Pollen, cast Fire again when Lulu wakes up. Do that twice, plus you can't lose if you have Tidus with Nulblaze Shield. -Rikku throw Smoke Bomb = Funguars Dead, then use some Antarctic Winds. Basilisk x2 -Yuna with Stoneproof = you can't lose. Wakka Dark Attack them, not really needed, because they have weak damage(~100). Auron and Kimahri attack them until they die. Poison Touch/Strike is helpful here. -Rikku throw a Smoke Bomb, then use 3 Antarctic Winds. If you have Poisontouch weapon, which i recommend you Customize(99x Antidotes), you can Poison them and Watch them die. Garm + Bunyip + Simurgh -Tidus/Wakka attack twice on Garm. Auron/Kimahri attack twice on Bunyip, and anyone but Yuna/Lulu attack twice for death on Simurgh. -Rikku throw Petrify Grenade...yes i use them a lot, they work. Snow Flan + Gandarewa x 2 -Lulu cast Fire twice on Snow Flan. Wakka attack twice on Gandarewa, and Lulu cast Water twice on other Gandarewa. -Rikku throw Smoke Bomb = Death. Bite Bug x2 + Simurgh -Lulu cast Blizzard twice to take out both Bite Bugs. Tidus/Wakka attack twice on Simurgh. -Rikku throw Smoke Bomb. Enemies are a piece of cake, ya? Except if you get ambushed. Then they could be a problem, but you shouldn't die though. Meet Isaaru and listen to his funny voice. Do Cloisters of Trials and get the Destruction Sphere if you want. I'll write the Steal Items you need after you get Rikku back. Go to the Moonflow, and watch the pwetty pyreflies on the river.:P ======================================================================== Moonflow (0016) ======================================================================== Stock up on Potions and other Items if needed. Hear about Tidus' old man hacking at the Shoopuff, lol that's pretty funny. What a drunk. Make sure Tidus has Stunning Steel equipped. Ride ze Shoopuff, and Al Bhed kidnapp Yuna...again. Man her guardians suck. Boss Time...and you know what that means...RIKKU SOON. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ EXTRACTOR: HP:4000 AP:660 Overkill:600 /////////////////////////////////////// Tidus use Stunning Steel to Slow Extractor down. Lightningstrike weapons are helpful, but again not needed. Now just whack away. Heal after Aqua Shooter. When it rises, you need to do ~500 damage to bring it back down. That won't be hard, when it's slowed you'll get a couple of turns in a row, Tidus and Wakka attack twice each will = ~500. Just keep attacking, use ODs when you get them(Thunder Elemental Reels is good). MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T USE DEPTH CHARGE!!!! IT DOES ~500 DAMAGE, SO MAKE SURE YOU DO ~500 DAMAGE BEFORE ITS NEXT TURN!!!! Easy fight. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!RO/RONO Begins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Continue on to the Moonflow North, go to the Bank and get a Stripping from Rikku...ZOMG YOU GET TEH HAWTNESS BACK!!!(jk btw[joking by the way]). Go to Guadosalam before you start stealing. ======================================================================== Guadosalam (0017) ======================================================================== Go to Seymour's house, go to Farplane. Get the hidden Lightning Marbles x8, you'll need 'em to customize Lightningproof in Thunder Plains. Flirt with Yuna or Lulu. It's funny when you say Luluz more your type. Tidus' always thinking" ZOMG LULUZ GOT TEH B00BZORS!!!SHIFT11111!!". Now it's time to steal and level Rikku up some...because she needs HP badly. Rikku could use the Lightningward Targe for custimization. Buy 40x Antidotes for Poison Ward, it'll help when you steal Poison Fangs. Then buy 99x Antidotes for Poisontouch to kill some enemies while you steal. Also for Thunder Plains i suggest...no wait...I COMMAND THEE to customize Lightningproof from those Lightning Marbles x8 you got in Farplane. You did get them right?? You better have... As leveling goes, get to about 1160 HP its good enough to steal the items that are needed from this area. You'll be getting more once you start stealing, if that is, you decide to kill the enemies after you steal from them. So, head out of Guadosalam and go back to Djose Highroad to steal Items. Now Stealing Items can be tedious and time consuming. ======================================================================== Djose/Moonflow Stealing (0018) ======================================================================== Items Steals Petrify Grenades(Basilisk) 30 50-Recommendation for Stonetouch Smoke Bombs(Simurgh) 15 20-Recommendation...just cause the pwn. Silence Grenade(Funguar) 5 10-Only use agaisnt Elements. Antarctic Winds(Snow Flan) 15 20-Use for a lot of damage at this point. Stamina Tablets(Chests) 1 1-Just get one. Dragon Scales(Chests) 2 4-Use agaisnt Spherimorph for Water damage. Mega-Potions(Chests) 5 5-You'll get your share of theses tryna get other items. Poison Fangs 7 10-Awesomeness, Poisons agaisnt bosses. -Rare Steal from Bite Bug, it will take time unless you're very lucky...after stealing Poison Fangs you will not need to buy Antidotes for...well...ever. Unless you're extremly lucky. Also start playing Blitzball to get a Return Sphere and Teleport Sphere from the League Prizes, soft reset or reset team data to get them to appear. If your just playing RO play for a Dark Matter also. To win easier get Kyou on the road to Djose Temple, he's good goalie and the player from Luca are all good. Stealing Items from Enemies: You don't need to kill them, you can run away for less time consumed because it is time consuming. I'll show strats of how to steal the items needed. Petrify Grenades- Easy stuff, wait for Basilisk x2(which appears quite frequently) and steal up to 6, if you're lucky. Run away or Poison them and watch their slow and painful death... Smoke Bombs- Also easy, wait for Garm, Bunyip and Simurgh. Just steal from the Simurghs, you won't have a problem living agaisnt them. Steal 1 or 2 times then run or throw some Grenades. Silence Grenade- Hmmm, kinda difficult. I'd have to say wait for Bite Bug x2 + Funguar, but they are not common, so the only other way is Basilisk + Funguars x2. So, first Antarctic Wind to death the Basilisk, heal if you need HP from Fire. Then steal from them, only if you have enough HP to live through at least 2 Fires. Hardest Item to steal right now, besides Poison Fang of course:P. Antarctic Wind- Another easy one, wait for Bunyip, Garm and Snow Flan. Just steal from them and heal after the enemies attacks or run away. Stamina Tablets- Steal from Chests throughout the Moonflow. 1/8 Chance of getting it. Dragon Scales- Steal from Chests throughout the Moonflow. 1/4 chance of getting it. Mega Potions- Steal from Chests throughout the Moonflow. 1/4 chance of getting it. Poison Fangs- Oh my dear god, i hate these littles bugs. To get a Poison Fang you need a RARE steal from a Bite Bug. You'll be getting A LOT of Antidotes. Anyway to get them, go close to Guadosalam and find Bite Bugs in pairs with either a Bunyip or a Chest. Antarctic Wind the Bunyip then steal away. Getting these will take some time depending on your luck. It took me like 1.5 hours:( and thats some crazy stuff. So, Good luck. Lol i had 91 Antidotes without buying any by the time i had 12... After getting those items:@, go to the Thunder Plains and get ready for...SOME MORE STEALING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BTW, you better have gotten a Stoneproof armour of Seymour Natus is gonna be hard...if your doing RONO. SO....GET IT!!!!! ======================================================================== Thunder Plains (0019) ======================================================================== Before i put the Enemies strats and whatnot, pray to 1 or 2 Qactuars Stones with square. Enemies: Qactuar-HP:500 AP:350 Overkill:750 -Smoke Bomb is death. Larvae-HP:1498 AP:262 Overkill:924 -Use your Stonetouch/strike weapon or Petrify Grenade. Aerouge-HP:200 AP:92 Overkill:300 -Grenade = death. Gold Element-HP:1200 AP:92 Overkill:1800 -Smoke Bombs x2 = kill Buer-HP:230 AP:92 Overkill:345 -Grenade kills it. Iron Giant-HP:3600 AP:800 Overkill:924 -Stonetouch/strike weapon for a kill or a Petrify Grenade. Kusariqqu-HP:445 AP:32 Overkill:413 -Stonetouch/strike weapon or Grenade x2. Melusine-HP:265 AP:92 Overkill:405 -Grenade kills it. Group Encounters: Iron Giant -Stonetouch/strike weapon for a kill or a Petrify Grenade. Aerouge + Melusine + Kusariqqu -Grenade kills Melusine and Aerouge. Use another for Kusariqqu. Iron Giant + Buer x2 -Grenade kills both Buers. Stonetouch/strike weapon or a Petrify Grenade to kill Iron Giant. Gold Element + Buer + Kusariqqu -Smoke Bomb for both Buer and Kusariqqu. Use another to kill Gold Element. Qactuar(x2) -Smoke Bomb---'Nuff said. Larvae x2 -Use your Stonetouch/strike weapon or Petrify Grenade to kill both. Gold Element + Melusine + Buer -Smoke Bomb kills Melusine and Buer, then use another to kill Gold Element. Larvae + Aerouge x2 -Grenade for both Aerouge, then use a Smoke Bomb. If you don't have many Grenades left buy AS MANY AS POSSIBLE!!! I'm telling you to stay here until you can afford 99, because if you don't have a Firestrike weapon, and Spherimorph uses Blizzard, Grenades will be your friend.:) They help agaisnt the enemies here and in Macalania Forest. Also try to get SOS Regen for Rikku and Customize SOS Haste(Chocobo Feather x20) on to it. You don't need it yet, but you will later on. Now for the steal items. Steal Item List: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Item Get Recommendation ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Electro Marble 5 10-Recommendation for use agaisnt Spherimorph -Steal from Aerouge/Gold Element Light Curtain 15 20-Needed agaisnt some bosses -Iron Giants Lunar Curtain 15 20-Needed agaisnt some bosses -Larvae Silver Hourglass 1 1-Needed for Evrae in RONO -Kusariqqu Chocobo Feather 20 30-20 for SOS Haste and 10 for use -Qactuar Getting the Items: Electro Marble- Steal from them in the Melusine, Kusariqqu and Aerouge battle. Use an Antarctic Wind on Kusariqqu and one on Melusine, then steal to your hearts content. Light Curtain- Easy stuff. Steal from them when they're by themselves of when with Buer x2. Use Grenade to take care of Buer, then steal 2 from them then use Stonetouch/strike to kill it. Lunar Curtain- Easy when you got Lightningproof equipped. Just steal from them and then kill them with Stonetouch/strike. Siler Hourglass- Not so easy, need luck. Wait for Melusine, Aerouge and Kusariqqu. Use Grenade to kill Melusine and Aerouge, then steal from them. It's a Rare Steal from them. Its headbutt attack does major damage,~900. Heal if necessary. Chocobo Feather- Easiest, by far. Just steal from them when they appear. Heal if needed after 1,000 needles. "Needles? I hate Needles" <----LOL Rikku. After stealing items move on with story. Go to tent in the see Yuna decide to marry Seymour. Poor Tidus, He's so jealous...making excuses all the time. *Shakes Head*. Go to Macarena Forest now...and for some more Stealing because you'll need items for the 3 up comming bosses. "Make sure your prepared". ======================================================================== Macalania (0020) ======================================================================== Enemies: Chimera-HP:5250 AP:1220 Overkill:1432 -Stonetouch/strike weapon or Petrify Grenade. It has 0 resistance to Petrification. Blue Element-HP:1500 AP:240 Overkill:2250 -Silence Grenade and attack away, but i suggest running unless you want to shorten your item supply. Xiphos-HP:2700 AP:520 Overkill:1432 -Wow, he is bad. Stonetouch/strike or Petrify Grenade. Murussu-HP:580 AP:240 Overkill:870 -Grenade x2... Iguion-HP: -Grenade x2...wow these enemies are useless. Wasp-HP:360 AP:240 Overkill:540 -Grenade...man...too easy Group Encounter: Xiphos -Stonetouch/strike or Petrify Grenade. Chimera -Stonetouch/strike or Petrify Grenade. Xiphos + Wasp x2 -Grenade for both Wasps, then Stonetouch/strike or very easy win = Petrify Grenade. Wasp + Iguion + Murrusu -Grenade x2 = Death to all Murrusu + Iguion + Blue Element -Silence Grenade kills both Murrusu and Iguion. Now BLue Element can't attack, so throw some Electro/Lightning Marbles. Blue Element x2 + Wasp -Silence Grenade = Wasp dead + Elements can't attack, so then use Electro/Lightning Marbles to kill both. Steal Item List: Item Get Recommendation ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Arctic Winds(Chimera) 10 15-Need some for Seymour, 1 to Cust. SOS Nulfrost. Fish Scales(Blue Element) 10 20-They can in handy These enemies are easy to steal from. For Chimera, just steal and after Petrify him. For the Fish Scales, Use Silence Grenades so they can't attack, then just steal away. You can get up to x6 per battle and up to x12 if there's 2 of them. Now get through Macarena, go talk to O'aka and DON'T buy anything, then tell him prices are Too Pricey. Then Buy SONIC STEEL, comes in handy in some bosses where Rikku has to be switched in to the Party. Watch Auron kick some tree a$$. Nao, another BOSS!!!, easy one though...also Rikku's first Boss:P ----------------------------RO STRAT BELOW------------------------------ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ SPHERIMORPH HP:12,000 AP:3420 Overkill:2000 Steal:Ether /////////////////////////////////////// Attack to see what element he is using, then counter it with the opposing elemental item. For Fire:Throw Antarctic Wind=~900 For Blizzard:Firestrike weapon or Grenades until death, cause you can't steal any Fire items. For Thunder:Throw Fish Scales=~900 For Water:Throw Electro Marble=~900 He counters everything with a spell, after you throw an opposing elemental item he will use Elemental Shift, so attack him again to see what element he is using again. THen you know what to do. Then he his Slam attack, which usually misses Rikku and Press, which does 1/2 your HP. So it's nice to heal after a spell and a Slam. But, if he uses Blizzard in RO, you should have atleast 1 Bomb Core left from the tutorial battle, so Mix Bomb Core + Chocobo Feather for Abaddon Flame. ----------------------------RONO STRAT BELOW---------------------------- \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ SPHERIMORPH HP:12,000 AP:3420 Overkill:2000 Steal:Ether /////////////////////////////////////// First Rikku attack to see what spell he uses, then counter with the opposing element. For Fire:Throw Antarctic Wind=~900 For Blizzard:Firestrike weapon or Grenades until death, cause you can't steal any Fire items. For Thunder:Throw Fish Scales=~900 For Water:Throw Electro Marble=~900 See, not so hard. Heal after every couple of attacks. He counters everything with a spell. Then he his Slam attack, which usually misses Rikku and Press, which does 1/2 your HP. So it's nice to heal after a spell and a Slam. After Elemental Shift, attack again to see what element it's using. Before you get to Temple Macalania, i sugesst you customize Lightningproof, which you should have...or better have. Waterproof(8 Dragon Scales), use some of those Dragon Scales from Moonflow. SOS Nulfrost(1 Arctic Wind) or if your willing Iceproof(8 Arctic Winds). So only Seymour Fire spells will hurt Rikku. Now, follow O'aka to......... ======================================================================== Lake Macalania (0021) ======================================================================== Enemies: Guado Guardian-HP:2000 AP:290 Overkill:2000 -Petrify Grenade or Stonetouch/strike weapon for kill. Mafdet-HP:710 AP:300 Overkill:1065 -Stonetouch/strike or Petrify Grenade. Ice Flan-HP:1350 AP:300 Overkill:2025 -Petrify Grenade or Stonetouch/strike. Yes, i know its repetitive but it works Evil Eye-HP:310 AP:300 Overkill:465 -Grenade = Death Snow Wolf-HP:400 AP:300 Overkill:600 -Grenade x2 or Petrify Grenade/Stonetouch/strike. Group Encounters: The following are only for when your being chased by the Tree People AKA Guados. Mafdet + Ice Flan + Guado Guardian -Petrify Grenade...'Nuff said Evil Eye x2 + Guado Guardian Petrify Grenade...Easy stuff Snow Wolf x2 + Guado Guardian -Petrify Grenade...lol man they easy Now these Group Encounters are ones you can encounter while getting back to teh lake. Evil Eye x2 + Mafdet -Petrify Grenade...you get it yet?? Evil Eye + Snow Wolf + Ice Flan -Petrify Grenade...you bad at taking hints?? Mafdet + Snow Wolf + Ice Flan -Petrify Grenade...yes all strats involve Petrify Grenades = about time you figured that out. Go to Agency and Save, buy more Grenades, Potions and the liek. Go outside to meet up with Tromell. Then time to fight...another BOSS!! Oh my, the Crawler scene i know this almost off by heart tryna get Lifesaver for Tidus in my NSGNSNONCNENNENBB. Oh well TIME FOR AN...EASY FIGHT!!!! \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ CRAWLER HP:16,000 AP:4400 Overkill:4000 NEGATOR HP:1000 AP:220 Overkill:1000 /////////////////////////////////////// ----------------------------RO STRAT BELOW------------------------------ Alright, on Rikku's first turn use Chocobo Feather, then use a Light Curtain. Then start throwing Electro/Lightning Marble. Also, you'll have to kill Negator for to use Overdrive. Throw Electro Marble x2 or Lightning Marble for a kill. After about 10 or so on Crawler, Mix a Tunderbolt(Electro Marble + Grenade) and it should kill Crawler. If not, throw some more Electro/Lightning Marbles. ----------------------------RONO STRAT BELOW---------------------------- Alright, on Rikku's first turn use Chocobo Feather, then use a Light Curtain. Then just start throwing Electro/Lightning Marbles at Crawler. No need to kill Negator because you can't use OD. With Protect Gatling Gun should do ~50-60 damage per hit. It took me about 18 Electro Marbles for a kill. Crawler got ~4 turns. Complete pwnage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ride along to Macalania Temple. WOOT!!!! I got to ride with Rikku!!!! Go watch Jyscal Sphere and Jyscal tells you to stop Seymour. Hmmm....Who knew he was evil....Now go to Chamber of Fayth and Fight SEYMOUR!!! Tidus equipped with Sonic Steel is needed. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ SEYMOUR, GUADO GUARDIANS x2 HP-Seymour:6000 Guados:2000 AP-Seymour:2000 Guados:290 Overkill-Seymour:1400 Guados:2000 ////////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Anima HP:18,000 AP:2500 Overkill:1400 ////////////////////////// ---------------------------RO/RONO STRAT BELOW-------------------------- Since Tidus gets First Strike, switch for Rikku. Now she gets 2 consecutive turns. First use Chocobo Feather then use Petrify Grenade to kill Guado Guardians. Also, use Lunar Curtain, then start throwing Arctic Wind x4 or Dragon Scale x3 to make Seymour summon Anima. ANIMA: Now, if Anima uses Pain on Rikku...you lose. So, hopefully that won't happen. Ok, attack when she's in Boost for double damage. Throw Poison Fangs when in Boost for ~2500 and Arctic Winds ~1500. If in RO, Mix 2 Arctic Winds for more damage or use a different Mix for more damage. Since Rikku's in Haste she'll get ~5-6 turns before Anima gets her next attack, so there's your chance to start blowing what you got at her. Now time for Seymour again... SEYMOUR PT. 2 It'll will be Rikku's turn, so throw a Poison Fang. Then watch the show. Heal after some spells and throw some more Arctic Winds/Dragon Scales/Lightning Marbles or anything like that for a faster and more painful death to Seymour. Seymour drops nothing you'll need. Now, those damned Guado won't leave poor Rikku alone:(. But, hey let's stone the hell out of the tree people. Oh, and BTW save. It wouldn't be good now if something happened, eh? The least amount of battles you can encounter is 2. So, for both those battles use Petrify Grenade. Now run to the Save Sphere near the exit and now it's time to do some more STEALING!!! These items help agaisnt some enemies and bosses. Here's the Steal List... Steal Item List: Item Get Recommend ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sleeping Powders(Snow Wolf) 15 20-Needed for Stealing. Artic Wind(Ice Flan) 15 20-Good attacking item. -Totals for Arctic Winds are total, not 10-20 more. I do suggest you get a total of 20 though. Getting Items: Sleeping Powder- I say use either encounter with Snow Wolf. For one with Evil Eye throw grenade to kill Eye, then Petrify the Flan with Stonetouch/strike. Then your free to steal to your hearts content. For one with Mafdet, Use Stonetouch/strike to take care of Mafdet and Ice Flan. Then again just steal away. Arctic Wind- Wait for either encounter with Snow Flan. With Iceproof/SOS Nulfrost you can't lose. So, then take out the Mafet/Evil Eye with Grenade for Eye and Stonetouch/strike for Mafdet. Then steal away. Once you got those Items...no less either...continue on to Lake Macalania. Those Guados never give up,eh? Well, let's go kick their a$$es again. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ WENDIGO, GUADO GUARDIANS x2 HP-Wendigo:18,000 Guados:1200 AP:Wendigo:2000 Guados:290 Overkill-Wendigo:1432 Guados:1432 ////////////////////////////////////////////// -----------------------------RO STRAT BELOW----------------------------- Rikku start with Chocobo Feather, then use Petrify Grenade to take care of those pesky Guados.hen throw a Sleeping Powder, so Wendigo won't even hit you:P. Instead of throwing Artic Winds, just Mix 2 of them together for more damage or use another Mix. He might wake up so, use another Sleeping Powder. Then blast on him with more Artic Winds. ---------------------------RONO STRAT BELOW----------------------------- Rikku start with Chocobo Feather, then use Petrify Grenade to take care of those pesky Guados. Then throw a Sleeping Powder, so Wendigo won't even hit you:P. Then start throwing some Arctic Winds and other good Items. He will wake up, so just throw another Sleeping Powder. Then continue to whail on it with more Arctic Winds and other Items. Very easy Battle. Teh b-tard breaks the ice and you fall through to your doom!!!! Go talk to people, watch Yuna wake up O_o. Talk to Rikku, then again to hear her funny "he he he" laugh. LOL, that's funny.Get Avenger(Sells for like ~1000 gil.) and Level 2 Key Sphere. Sin comes and brings you to... ======================================================================== Bikenel Island (0022) ======================================================================== Now, since you don't have Rikku you have to do NSG game remember?? Which'll be in like ~5 minutes? Ok, go wander to the desert until you get into a Forced Encounter with a Zu. Auron and Lulu will come after Tidus dies. Revive him with Lulu, i repeat with LULU because Auron needs to use Power Break. Tidus use Stunning Steel until he's slowed. Lulu use Magic and use ODs if you have them. Shooting Star on him = FLYING BIRD!!!! Oh, BTW i'm not putting Enemies until you get Rikku back...lol. Ok, so get Wakka, then Kimahri climbing up the mountain and falling back down...lol. Then the precious Rikku comes back!!! Ok, Enemy time. Enemies: Cactuar-HP:800 AP:8000!!!! Overkill:1200 -Arctic Wind = easy victory.

Shadow Gem(Sand Worm) 20 30-For Capturing reasons. Getting the Items: Smoke Bomb- Smoke Bomb the Zu, you'll use 1 and get like 9-10 back. Very good deal. Then Poison Fang them or Poisontouch/strike and watch it die...or escape. Your choice. Shadow Gem- Sleeping Powder it, then steal up to 6 of them. Then Poison Fang them or Poisontouch/strike and watch it die slowly...or escape. Your choice. Also, if your running low on Sleeping Powders you can Steal some from the Sand Wolves. When you get those items continue on to Home. Before you get there you should fight 3 Sandragoras to get Teleport Sphere x2 and Mega Elixir. Plus the one you got to fight to get to Home. Sandragora-HP:12,750 AP:540 Overkill:1432 -To avoid Confusion use for example: Waterstrike + Waterproof or something along those lines. When it's your turn use Petrify Grenade. Do this 3 times to get the items stated above. Go to Home now... ======================================================================== Home (0023) ======================================================================== OMG!!

Lol, that's pretty funny...Get prepared for a so called "Hard" battle...Very Easy = RO Easy/Medium = RONO \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ EVRAE HP:32,000 AP:5400 Overkill:2000 //////////////////////////////////////// -----------------------------RO STRAT BELOW----------------------------- First, kill off your other party members, then Mix Quartet of 9(Bomb Core + Underdog's Secret). Steal a Water Gem, then use it for an Overkill.....Easy, eh?? -----------------------------RONO STRAT BELOW--------------------------- Rikku use Chocobo Feather, then use Silver Hourglass. Throw a Smoke Bomb, then Pull back when he's about to use Poison Breath. While your waiting, steal some Water Gems from him. Once Pulled back, use Light Curtain and wait for Cid to use his 3 Salvos. Then go back in and start throwing Bomb Cores/Arctic Winds(~500) and Smoke Bombs, which do most damage ~750. Continue to use Smoke Bombs to Blind him and for Damage. Don't use too many now, use some Bomb Cores/Arctic Winds too. Heal if necessary, after Poison Breath(~1000 + Poison) more than likely. Use Al Bhed Potion to cure all that. About 10 mins later of continuous throwing you'll win. The Airship takes major damage...and it brings you to...... ======================================================================== Bevelle (0025) ======================================================================== Your party now "Grinds" ropes to crash this Wedding. Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn got nothing on Tidus and party. That's how you crash a Wedding. Time for 5 Forced Encounters and if somehow you die...you'll have to fight Evrae again.

Forced Encounters: 1-Warrior Monk(Flamethrower) + Warrior Monk x2 -Sleeping Powder and a Smoke Bomb or Petrify Grenade. 2-Warrior Monk(Flamethrower) x2 + YKT-63 -Sleeping Powder then Shadow Gem x2.

Go to Cloister of Trials and do them. Save Sphere before them too. The HP Sphere you get from the trials is nice... You'll be caught and then thrown into..... ======================================================================== Via Purifico (0026) ======================================================================== Yuna alone = not healthy. Summon Bahamut to kill the enemies that appear. Straight ahead on Teleporter to get Auron. Then Kimahri and Lulu and go back to where you found Auron and Save!!! There will be a Forced Encounter: Maze Larva-HP:2222 AP:1850 Overkill:2108 -Summon Bahamut and use Thundara for a kill. You might run into more of these, just use the same thing again. It's also nice to have Bahamut and Shiva with OD full and Yuna should already have OD. Now, time for an Aeon Battle!!! ISAARU VS. YUNA!!! WHO WILL WIN, JIMMA?? LADY SUMMONER YUNA FTW!!! BOBBA. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ GROTHIA PTERYA SPATHI HP:Grothia:8,000 Pterya:12,000 Spathi:20,000 AP:6000 Overkill:2550(All) ///////////////////////////////////////////////// FIRST MATCH: GROTHIA VS.

Sahagin x2 + Remora x2 -Petrify Grenade to kill ALL! Octopus + Sahagin x2 -Petrify Grenade... Remora x2 + Phlegyas -Petrify Grenade... In this place you should only run into about 2-3 battles and that's it. So, shouldn't be too much trouble. Also, before you throw a Petrify Grenade, you should try to steal some Dragon Scales and Water Gems(if you can get them). TIME FOR TEH UBER HARDEST BOSS IN TEH GAME!!!!!!...sarcasm... \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ EVRAE ATLANTA HP:16,384 AP:5800 Overkill:2000 ////////////////////////////////////// --------------------------RO/RONO STRAT BELOW--------------------------- UBER SU><ORS THIS THING IS!!!!! Alright, steal from it first to get Water Gem x2, then throw 2 Phoenix Downs at it for an Overkill...PAH PATHETIC. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Continue on to the end, get Rematch and Avenger on the way. They sell for decent amounts of Gil. When you exit you'll be on the... ======================================================================== Highbridge (0027) ======================================================================== Kimahri stabs Seymour...like it has effect. This place here is an awesome place to level up. You should at least have ~2500-3000 by now. Anyway there are only 3 Enemies here so...bah oh well here are the enemy listing... Enemies: Warrior Monk(Flamethrower)-HP:1400 AP:420 Overkill:2100 -Sleeping Powder + Smoke Bomb YKT-63-HP:4200 AP:1870 Overkill:2108 -Shadow Gem x2, then Artcic Wind/Bomb Core. Or Smoke Bomb x2 then Arctic x3. With Smoke Bomb it can't hit you. YAT-99-HP:2700 AP:1870 Overkill:2108 -Shadow Gem, then Smoke Bomb x2. Group Encounters: YKT-63 + YAT-99 x2 -Shadow Gem x2 then Smoke Bomb to take care of both YATs and then throw a Arctic Wind to take out the YKT. Warrior Monk(Flamethrower) x2 + YKT-63 -Sleeping Powder, Shadow Gem x2 then Smoke Bomb, which will kill the Warrior Monks, then throw a Arctic Wind to take out the YKT. YAT-99 + YKT-63 x2 -Shadow Gem x2, then use an Arctic Wind for a kill on the YKTs and then use a Smoke Bomb for the YAT. Before heading to Seymour, make sure Tidus is equipped with Sonic Steel!!! I REPEAT MAKE SURE TIDUS IS EQUIPPED WITH SONIC STEEL!!! Rikku isn't in the start of the battle so use the Sonic Steel to your advantage, so she'll come in with 2 straight turns. Also, make sure RIKKU HAS HER STONEPROOF ARMOUR EQUIPPED!!!!!. Alrighty-then, time for another BOSS BATTLE!!!! \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ SEYMOUR NATUS + MORTIBODY HP-Seymour:36,000 Mortibody:4000 AP:6300 Overkill:3500 ///////////////////////////////////////////// ---------------------------RO STRAT BELOW------------------------------- Start battle by switching Tidus for Rikku, Use Chocobo Feather and a Lunar Curtain. You'll have another turn, use a Poison Fang on Seymour. Seymour will be casting Multi -ra spells so heal if necessary. Now, use Rikku to throw some Arctic Winds/Bomb Cores whatever you got at him until his HP is at ~24,000. Mix Sunburst(Underdog's Secret + Underdog's Secret) to do 19,998 damage and he will skip the "Break" phase. He will have ~4000 HP left and he will start casting Flare. Heal after a Flare, but the good thing is it will set his turns back quite far. Then throw Dragon Scales or whatever you got at him for a kill. Very easy, right?? --------------------------RONO STRAT BELOW------------------------------ Start battle by switching Tidus for Rikku, Use Chocobo Feather and a Lunar Curtain. You'll have another turn, use a Poison Fang on Seymour. Seymour will be casting Multi -ra spells so heal if necessary. Throw some Poison Fangs, they do do the most damage ~2000. Then just throw Dragon Scales/Bomb Cores/Arctic Winds until he gets to his "Break" phase, which will be useless because you got Stoneproof right? RIGHT??. Mortibody will just use Shattering Claw and do ~300. Then just continue to use Dragon Scales/Bomb Cores/Arctic Winds until he's in his "Flare" phase.Heal after a Flare, but the good thing is it will set his turns back quite far. Then throw Dragon Scales or whatever you got at him for a kill. This battle will heavely damage your Item supply, but that won't be a problem because we'll be stealing some more soon!!! BTW YAY FOR TEH VICTORY!!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ After the battle you'll be magically warped back to Macalania. Watch the STEAMY HAWT SCENE OF TIDUS AND YUNA WITH A TOUCH OF FUNKY JAPENESE MUSIC!!!!! That should keep Tidus' mind off Yuna kissing Seymour:P. Now, back to the journey and you'll be in the Wonder Place known as the... ======================================================================== Calm Lands (0028) ======================================================================== Enemies: Chimera Brain-HP:9800 AP:1200 Overkill:4060 -Sleeping Powder and throw continuous Items or Stonetouch/Strike. Anacondaur-HP:5600 AP:1380 Overkill:4060 -Sleeping Powder, then Shadow Gem x2 and to finish use Smoke Bomb x2. Watch out for Sonic Tail. Nebiros-HP:700 AP:480 Overkill:1050 -Smoke Bomb FTW! Malboro-HP:27,000 AP:2200 Overkill:4060 -Shadow Gem will help majorly here, because after 7 turns it will use Bad Breath. Fire Gems will do ~4000 damage. Flame Flan-HP:1500 AP:480 Overkill:2250 -Silence Grenade + Smoke Bomb kills it... Skoll-HP:1000 AP:480 Overkill:1500 -Smoke Bomb, so it can't hit you, then use another... Coeurl-HP:6000 AP:1300 Overkill:4060 -Sleeping Powder, Shadow Gem x2 then Smoke Bomb and it should be dead, if not then use a Grenade. Watch out for Blaster... Ogre-HP:9400 AP:1080 Overkill:4060 -Smoke Bomb then Shadow Gem x2 then use some Arctic Winds and it should die. Shred-HP:1950 AP:480 Overkill:2925 -Sleeping Powder and Smoke Bomb x2. Mech Scouter-HP:2750 AP:530 Overkill:4125 -Rikku steal from it... Mech Hunter-HP:5500 AP:820 Overkill:4060 -Rikku steal from it... Group Encounters: Coeurl x2 -Sleeping Powder, Shadow Gem x2 then Smoke Bomb and they should be dead, if not then use a Grenade. Watch out for Blaster... Chimera Brain x2 -Petrify Grenade or Stonetouch/strike. You should have protection from Water, Lightning and Fire by now, so it shouldn't be too hard to live through its attacks. Mech Scouter + Flame Flan + Skoll -Rikku steal from Mech Scouter. Then use Silence Grenade, and a Smoke Bomb to kill both of the enemies. Flame Flan + Nebiros + Shred -Sleeping Powder, kills Nebiros and renders the other two useless. Smoke Bomb to kill Flan then use another to kill Shred. Anacondaur x2 -Sleeping Powder, Shadow Gem x2, then Smoke Bomb x2. Watch out for Sonic Tail if they use it. ~1400 damage. Coeurl + Mech Scouter x2 -Sleeping Powder first, then steal from both Mechs. Throw a Shadow Gem and use some Antarctic Winds/Fish Scales or Dragon Scales or Bomb Cores to get a win. Malboro -Shadow Gem will help majorly here(9999), because after 7 turns it will use Bad Breath. Fire Gems will do ~4000 damage. Also if you have Evade & Counter you can't lose, but it will take some time. Upside is that it won't use Bad Breath. Skoll x2 + Ogre -Sleeping Powder and a Smoke Bomb to care of both Skolls. Fire Gem the Ogre, then use some Arctic Winds/Bomb Cores to kill him. Mech Scouter + Skoll + Nebiros x2 -Sleeping Powder takes care of both Nebiros, and the Skoll can't do anything. Rikku steal from the Mech Scouter. Use a Smoke Bomb to take care of the Skoll. There is some Items that need to be stolen here...Here's the Steal List Steal Item List: Item Get Recommendation ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fire Gem(Flame Flan) 15 25-Very good source of attack. Dream Powder(Skoll) 20 30-Good for Capturing Reasons Petrify Grenades(Anacondaur) 60 70-Customize Stonestrike to Capture Weapon. Hypello Potion(Shred) 8 8-Customize Berserk Ward Getting the Items: Fire Gem- The easiest way to get these wait for the Mech Scouter, Flame Flan and Skoll. Sleeping Powder. Steal from Mech, Grenade Skoll for the kill. Now that the Flame Flan is asleep steal away. Dream Powder- Easiest way to get these would be the Nebiros x2,Skoll, and Mech SCouter. Sleeping Powder gets rid of Nebiros, Skoll is asleep. Steal from Mech Scouter. Then steal away to get some Dream Powder. Petrify Grenade- The Anacondaurs, use a Sleeping Powder and steal away to get your Petrify Grenades. I suggest you escape instead of wasting precious items. Hypello Potion- Use Sleeping Powder on the enemies...only 1 battle contains Shred...it takes out the Nebiros, all other enemies are useless. Use an Arctic Wind to take care of the Flan, then steal from the Shred. These items are very good Items...you should get as many as i recommend. Now head to the Monster Arena and buy 3 Iron Grips for Rikku. Customize Evade & Counter on 1. Now time for some Capturing. I suggest you Capture an Anacondaur first, then go to Monster Arena and steal 60 Petrify Grenades to custimize Stonestrike on Iron Grip. The capturing will be much easier with Stonestrike. Go to the North-West section of Calm Lands and Train a Chocobo so you can go to Remiem Temple. You should win the race to get Cloudy Mirror, then do it again and get 4 Chests and hit no poles to get Pendulum x30 so you can get Master Theif ability. ------------------------ Capturing: ------------------------ Anacondaur!!!!- The party will be a party of 2. So, use Sleeping Powder then throw a Fire Gem. Then throw a Smoke Bomb then attack it twice and it should be caught. GO TO MONSTER ARENA AND STEAL PETRIFY GRENADE x60 NOW!!!!! Capturing is sooooooooooo easy with it. You don't even need to kill the Anacondaur escape if you want. Just get the 60 Petrify Grenades!!!!!!! Once you get Stonestrike...not a moment sooner...go out and Capture the other 8 Fiends for the Calm Lands Malboro- Most time consuming enemy to catch. First Shadow Gem it, then use a Fire Gem. Make sure you have Evade & Counter Capture weapon. Now, keep pressing triangle and watch you continue to attack it and not use Bad Breath. If your doing RO, use Sunburst then use the Evade & Counter Strat to catch it. Coeurl- Sleeping Powder to make the Coeurls useless. If with the Mech Scouters steal from them. Then use a Shadow Gem x2. Then throw a Smoke Bomb and it should have ~350 HP left then attack and you got it. Not using Stonestrike here because it is Immune. Chimera Brain- Stonestrike!!!!! Skoll- Stonestrike!!!! Ogre- Stonestrike!!!!! Flame Flan- Stonestrike!!!!! Shred- Stonestrike!!!!!!!! Nebiros-Stonestrike!!!! BTW STONESTRIKE FTW!!!!!! Go back to Macalania for more capturing. Also, stock back up on some Artic Winds if they needed. ------------------------- Capturing: ------------------------ Blue Element- Stonestrike won't work. Use a Silence Grenade and a Grenade. Then keep attack it to capture it. Not too hard... Chimera- STONESTRIKE!!!! Murussu- STONESTRIKE!!!! Iguion- STONESTRIKE!!!! Xiphos- STONESTRIKE!!!!!!! Wasp- STONESTRIKE!!!!!!!! Snow Wolf- STONESTRIKE!!!!! Mafdet- STONESTRIKE!!!!!!! Evil Eye- Stonestrike...... Ice Flan- Before you STONESTRIKE!!! it...steal an Arctic Wind from it. THen use Stonestrike... You get Shinning Gem x60 for Capturing these Monsters. Head back to Thunder Plains now and Capture all the fiends there. ------------------- Capturing: ------------------- Alright, use STONESTRIKE on every enemy except the Gold Element because it is Immune. I will tell you how to catch the Fiends that are Immune to Petrify. Also, you can steal some more Chocobo Feathers when you fight a Qactuar. Also, you can dodge 100 Lightning Bolts to get 3 Strength Spheres and 3 HP Spheres. Gold Element- Silence Grenade, then continue to attack it because another Item would kill it. Track ALL the way back to Calm Lands and collect your hard earned Prizes for Capturing. Before you continue on, you will need at least 25 Gems(For RONO anyway.) Now back on track follow the Red Marker to the Bridge where the Guados...Those Guados have some friggen determination to catch Yuna. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD YOUR GONNA DIE GUADO!!!!!! Time for a fight agaisnt the... \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ DEFENDER X HP:64,000 AP:6660 Overkill:4060 ///////////////////////////////////// --------------------------------RO STRAT BELOW------------------------------- First, start with Chocobo Feather and a Light Curtain. Then take out both Party Members or wait for Defender to do that for you. Then Mix Quartet of 9 and use a Fire Gem to do ~60,000. Then use another Fire Gem for an Overkill. Uber East, eh? --------------------------------RONO STRAT BELOW----------------------------- First, start with Chocobo Feather and a Light Curtain. Start throwing some of those 25 Fire Gems i told you to get. Each one does about ~4000 damage. Defender will cast Slowga, so you will use another Chocobo Feather to rid yourself of Slow. Continue to use Fire Gems and he will use Haymaker, which will do ~1500 with Light Curtain. Heal after Haymaker with Hi-Potions or an X-Potion. Continue to use Fire Gems and heal when it's necessary like after Haymaker. After a little while he will go down. This puts a heavy dent in your Item supply and you will need to restock your supply. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Before continuing on to Mt. Gagazet you will need at least 40 Fire Gems/Lightning/Ice/Water Gems for the upcomming Seymour battle. You only need these if your doing RONO. Once you get these track back up Mt. Gagazet. ======================================================================== Mt. Gagazet (0029) ======================================================================== You'll see a scene that makes Yuna looks "Strong" so says Lulu, Tidus doesn't seem to understand...Biran and Yenke will be gone and you'll have to fight them with Kimahri. OMG how are you gonna beat them if you haven't leveled Kimahri??? OMG YOUR GOING TO LOSE!!!! Nah by, their HP depends on Kimahri's so it won't be hard. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ BIRAN & YENKE HP-Yenke:864 Biran:1152 AP:9000 Overkill:2500 /////////////////////////////////// First, i say to take out Biran. So, use Lancet to get some good stuff and use it agaisnt them. Thrust Kick works nicely against them for ~230 damage. Attack normally and use Lancet to get more ODs and use them. Still, i think Thrust Kick works best. When one goes down, take down the other one the same way. Heal when necessary, you'll probably have to heal once because their attacks do ~50-100 so its not that much. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now when you try to continue on they will sing the Hymn. Lol, it's pretty cool but the Al Bhed singing is still the best:P. Alright time for the Enemy List... Enemies: Grenade-HP:7500 AP:1350 Overkill:5384 -Stonestrike Capture Weapon or Petrify Grenade. Grat-HP:4000 AP:980 Overkill:6000 -Stonestrike or Petrify Grenade...This is will be strat the whole time...so... Bandersnatch-HP:1800 AP:820 Overkill:2700 -Stonestrike or Petrify Grenade... Nidhogg-HP:2000 AP:810 Overkill:3000 -Oh my, Stonestrike/Petrify Grenade... Imp-HP:880 AP:770 Overkill:1320 -Maybe an Arctic Wind?? Unless you want to capture it...well use Stonestrike. Bashura-HP:17,000 AP:1860 Overkill:6972 -Stonestrike once again. It has too much HP to waste Items on. Mech Leader-HP:3700 AP:830 Overkill:5550 -Rikku use Steal...OWNED!!! Mech Defender-HP:8700 AP:950 Overkill:5384 -Rikku use Steal... Group Encounters: Grat x2 + Bashura -Sleeping Powder first so they can't do anything, then just Stonestrike them all. You could also just use a Petrify Grenade. Grat x2 + Grenade -Sleeping Powder so the Grats can't do anything. Then Stonestrike the Grenade. Then just Stonestrike the Grats. Or just use a Petrify Grenade. Mech Defender x2 + Mech Leader -Rikku steal from them. Steal from the one who's about to have a turn so you take minimum damage. Mech Leader + Nidhogg + Bandersnatch -Steal from Leader, Then Stonestrike Bandersnatch. Now, take that dragon out with Stonestrike! Imp + Grenade x2 -Stonestrike the Imp, then Stonestrike the Grenades. Petrify Grenade for easier win. Easy Battles?? Damm right:). Now, get the 20k Gil, it is quite helpful. Get the Braska Sphere if you want to. I always watch these because Jecht is so awesome...JECHT FTW!!!! Follow the trail and when you get to Wantz buy the Haste Targe for Rikku if you don't already have it. It will be needed for Yunalesca. Also, buy some Holy Waters, they will be needed for Seymour and Yunalesca. Get some Phoenix Downs for the Zanar battles. Get the HP Sphere and Level 4 Key Sphere on your way up. Prepare for an effed up battle!! \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ SEYMOUR FLUX & MORTIORCHIS HP-Seymour:70,000 Mortiorchis:4000 AP:10,000 Overkill:3500 ///////////////////////////////////////// ------------------------------RO STRAT BELOW---------------------------- First, start with Chocobo Feather, Lunar Curtain and a Silence Grenade. Make sure other party members are dead and Mix Quartet of 9 and use a Fire Gem. When it's your turn again use another for an Overkill!!! And People say he's hard lol. -----------------------------RONO STRAT BELOW--------------------------- First, start with Chocobo Feather, Lunar Curtain and a Silence Grenade. Then start firing Fire, Water, Lightning, Ice Gems at him for good damage. Mortiorchis will Mortisorbation him for more damage. When he uses Lance of Atrophy, use a Holy Water or you will die. After his silence wears off, use another Silence Grenade. Keep throwing Gems on each of your turns. When Mortiorchis is about to use Total Anniliation make sure you have at least 3000 HP. TA does ~1800 damage, pretty pathetic actually. I suggest healing after TA, just in case you won't die. He'll go down after ~30 Gems or so. I used 31 Fire/Lightning Gems to take him down. An easy boss, just very damaging on your Item supply. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Continue on, get Saturn Crest if you want, and watch Tidus pass out. You'll meet up with the Bahamut Fayth and you'll learn he's a DREAM!!!!!!!!!ZOMG DREAM ZANARKAND AHHHHHHH!!!! Whew... ---------------------- Gagazet Cave ---------------------- Different Enemies appear here so...here we go with the Enemy List... Enemies: Dark Flan-HP:12,800 AP:3750 Overkill:19,200 -Since they are immune to Petrification, Throw a Silence Grenade and throw Shining Gem and use some Fire Gems to bring his HP down accordingly, then continually attack it to capture it. After you have one, don't bother killing others. It's a waste of Items. Mandragora-HP:31,000 AP:6230 Overkill:5384 -Stonestrike FTW!!!! That's a lot of HP, so don't waste Items. Grendel-HP:9500 AP:2600 Overkill:6972 -Stonestrike...WOOT Ahriman-HP:2800 AP:2200 Overkill:4200 -Stonestrike. It might miss, but keep trying. Behemoth-HP:23,000 AP:6540 AP:6972 -I hate this beast. Use Poison Fang and watch the b-tard die. Heal after each Heave, throw items during your spare turns to make him die faster...get the last attack to capture him. Group Encounters: Dark Flan -Since they are immune to Petrification, Throw a Silence Grenade and throw Shining Gem and use some Fire Gems to bring his HP down accordingly, then continually attack it to capture it. After you have one, don't bother killing others. It's a waste of Items. "Wow, Is that Edible?" LOL Rikku. Behemoth -I hate this beast. Use Poison Fang and watch the b-tard die. Heal after each Heave, throw items during your spare turns to make him die faster...get the last attack to capture him. Madragora -Stonestrike it. Don't use Items, it's a waste. Ahriman + Grendel -Stonestrike the Ahriman first, since it can confuse you. Then while the Grendel is charging use Stonestrike. Or just Petrify Grenade him. Bashura x2 -Stonestrike them both.

Watch out for the the Splasher Poison. Or a Petrify Grenade... Maelspike + Achelous x2 -Stonestrike the Maelspike first, then Stonestrike the Achelous. Or Petrify Grenade for a kill... Also, before heading up you'll need some Star Curtains from Dark Flans. ~10- 15 is good. Steal from the Flans and then run to make it less time consuming. Do the Gagazet Trials and continue up to the top. SAVE!!!! Just because I hate this Boss... \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ SANCTUARY KEEPER HP:40,000 AP:11,000 Overkill:6400 /////////////////////////////////////// -----------------------------RO STRAT BELOW----------------------------- First, use Chocobo Feather, Light and Lunar Curtain. Make sure Party Members are dead. Mix Quartet of 9 and use a Fire Gem for an Overkill!!! Lol, Pathetic. -----------------------------RONO BELOW STRAT--------------------------- First, use Chocobo Feather, Light and Lunar Curtain. You can also use a Star Curtain. He can Remove the Haste Status and inflict lots of Status ailments. Having armour with Sleep, Darkness and Confuse Ward is good to have. If he removes Haste throw another Chocobo Feather. Throw Fire Gems and Lightning Gems for good damage. You can also use some of your Shining Gems to take him down faster. He will use Regen, this is why i said use Star Curtain so your Items wouldn't go to waste. At ~10,000 HP he will use Mana Breath. Heal after Mana Breath and throw Shining Gem x2 for a win. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Watch the "Last Chapter" in Tidus' Story. Also the Hugging Scene with Rikku & Yuna...OH Every time I see that scene it looks they about to Kiss. HAWT STUFF THERE!!!! J/K, This is what i read off the FFX Boards thought I'd add it for fun.

The move behind him so he can't hit you with his Counter attack. Mix Quartet of 9 and use a Fire Gem for an Overkill!! RO is uber easy with Quartet of 9 :P. --------------------------RONO STRAT BELOW------------------------------ Start with Chocobo Feather and a Light Curtain. The move behind him so he can't hit you with his Counter attack. Use 2 Shining Gems and it'll be his turn. He'll use Beserk Tail and with Beserk Ward it'll prevent Beserk, DUH! Move Behind him again and use another 2 Shining Gems and use another if you got another turn. Again he'll use Beserk Ward, sometimes he will use Glyph Mines and make sure your not on these or you will die. Heal after a couple of Beserk Tails if you want and Rinse and Repeat the Move, use Shining Gems. AGAIN, I Say WATCH OUT FOR GLYPH MINES. ~8-9 Shining Gems later he will fall!!! Good JOB BRUDDA!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Watch the scenes then go back and save, 'cause trust me you don't wanna watch those if you die. EQUIP THE HASTE TARGE NOW!!!!!! Now, This is it!! The infamous Auron Speech. That's a pretty awesome speech. Another vert good scene in the game. TIME TO FIGHT YUNALESCA...The dirty Biznatch... \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ YUNALESCA HP-1st:24,000 2nd:48,000 3rd:60,000 AP:14,000 Overkill:10,000 //////////////////////////////////////////// ----------------------------RO STRAT BELOW------------------------------ ================== 1st FORM-24,000 ================== Start with Star Curtain and the Mix Sunburst and then on your next turn use a Shining Gem. LOL sad, eh? Time for... =================== 2nd FORM-48,000 =================== She'll start by using Hell Biter, which'll inflict Zombie. Now, she will will counter everything with "Slap", which dispels everything but Reflect. So, start throwing Shining Gems like there's no tomorrow. Slap does ~300 damage, and then continue to pound on it with Shining Gems. Mix a Quartet of 9 once you get OD, 7 Turns with Loner. Then use a Fire Gem to take out this Form. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAKE SURE YOUR ZOMBIFIED AFTER YOU KILL THIS FORM OR YOU WILL DIE AND HAVE TO RESTART THE WHOLE BATTLE OVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! ===================== 3rd FORM-60,000 ===================== She'll use Mega-Death and you will die if your Zombified, which you won't. Now, that Quartet is in place use a Fire Gem and the effed up BIZNATCH IS DEAD!!!! ---------------------------RONO STRAT BELOW----------------------------- =================== 1st FROM-24,000 =================== Start with Star Curtain, Don't use Chocobo Feather 'cause "Slap" Removes it. Throw a Shining Gem and she'll counter with Sleep, which will bounce back to her:P. Hopefully she'll use Absorb on Rikku. Use another Shining Gem, then hope she uses Slap on Rikku to bring her into Yellow HP so you'll have Haste!. It's not needed in this form, but it's needed for the next. Finish her with another 2 Shining Gems. =================== 2nd FORM-48,000 =================== She'll start with Hell Biter, which'll inflict Zombie. Now, she will counter everyting with "Slap", which dispels everything but Reflect and the Haste you now have from the Hell Biter:P. Throw Shining Gems and you'll take ~300 from Slap. You'll have about 3 Turns before Yunalesca gets one. ~6000 x 3=~18,000. Hopefully, when she uses Regen it will hit someone else, if they still alive. The rest of the Strat will go ahead like she used Regen on someone else. Continue to use Shining Gems until she dies. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS MIGHTY MAKE SURE YOUR IN ZOMBIE STATUS!!! ===================== 3rd FORM-60,000 ===================== She starts with Mega-Death and you will die if your not in Zombie Status. Now, Start throwing Shining Gems. Her Pattern is Mega-Death, Hell Biter, Hell Biter, Mind Blast, Hell Biter, Mega-Death. After that, the pattern restarts again. If you need to heal, do it after she uses Mega-Death again so you'll have time to be Zombified again before her next Mega-Death. Keep Throwing Shining Gems until the biznatch finally dies!!! Man, it's time consuming and major dent in your Shining Gem supply. OMG THE CHALLENGE IS ALMOST OVER!!!! Btw, get the Sun Crest if you want. Get on the Airship!!!!!!!!!!!! ======================================================================== Prepping (0031) ======================================================================== Go to Highbridge to activate the scene so the stupid Yevonites will let you in the Temples if you need to go back. Now just a couple of things to take care of before going to fight SIN!!! ----------------------------- Get Godhand ----------------------------- On the "Input" Screen write GODHAND in all caps to unlock Mushroom Rock Road. Go there and get Rikku's Godhand. ----------------------------- Mercury Sigil ----------------------------- Go to Sanubia West and Press Square on the Catuar Stone there. It'll give you a clue to where a Cactuar is and you must find and get a Sphere from it and Bring it back here. Here is where they are... 1st-It is at Oasis 2nd-Sanubia East-North of the Save Sphere in the Tent, turn left. 3rd-Sanubia West-Press X to the sign that says 20% Off 4th-Sanubia Central-Ruins in the West 5th-Sanubia East-Near Save Sphere in the Tent 6th-Sanubia Central-In a Chest to the FAR west 7th-Sanubia West-Inside a Sand Whirlpool. You have to re-enter the area to get it. 8th-Oasis-Go near Save Sphere, then go on Deck, then go back to Oasis 9th-Sanubia West-At the Cactuar Stone waiting for you. --------------------- Stocking Up --------------------- These are the Items you require for all the rest of the Bosses in the Game 99x Shining Gems 25x Blessed Gems 2x Dark Matter 99x Chocobo Wings(You should already have these) 70x Light Curtain 20x Petrify Grenades 8x Dragon Scale ===================== Getting these Items: ===================== Shining Gems- Capture a Black Element, then go to Monster Arena and steal from it. Master Thief IS required. Blessed Gems-First you need to Capture all Fiends in Mushroom Rock Road. Then go to Monster Arena and fight Coeurlregina and steal from them. Master Theif IS required. You will die from these things, just steal and Run. You COULD try to kill Cactuar King but i don't recommend it. Dark Matter- Play Blitz to get them. They appear in League Prizes, Reset Data until it has one for first prize. Then Hire a decent Blitz Team. Here is what i used: LF:Tidus RF:Wedge-Luca Right Guard in the Stadium MF:Brother-Airship LD:Zalitz-Luca Theatre, he's sitting right at the where you go to enter RD:Kyou-Djose Temple-On the road near the Temple GL:Jumal-Luca Seaport-Sitting on Bench This team will let you win enough games to get your first Dark Matter. After you win Save, then check prizes to see if it's Dark Matter again in League Prizes, if not Soft Reset. Win another 10 games and you'll have your 2. Or you can Capture 5 of each Fiend, which again I don't recommend. Chocobo Wing- Capture all Fiends in Thunder Plains. These are needed for Auto-Haste. Light Curtains- Easy way is to catch 5 of every Horned Fiend(EX: Dual Horn), but i just went to Monster Arena and continuiously fought and stole from Iron Giants there. These are needed for Auto-Protect. Dragon Scales- Go to Besaid and Capture a Water Flan. Then go to Monster Arena and steal Dragon Scales from them. You need Master Theif unless you want to waste a lot of time. These are needed for Waterproof. ------------------- Ultimate Armour ------------------- Auto-Haste Auto-Protect Auto-Med Stoneproof This armour will be needed for BFA(Braska's Final Aeon). There's also another armour you need for Seymour Omnis...the Victorious. Input "VICTORIOUS" in the Airship to get it. It'll have Fire/Ice/Lightning proof + 1FS. That FS will need Waterproof(Dragon Scale x8). When you think your ready go to "Sin" on the locations. And When i mean READY you have everything i told you to get!!!! Make sure you have your Ultimate Armour Equipped!!! ======================================================================== Sin...and Many Other Parts (0032) ======================================================================== \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ SIN FIN(LEFT/RIGHT) HP-Left:65,000 Right:65,000 AP-Left:16,000 Right:17,000 Overkill:10,000 ///////////////////////////////// This is 2 separate battles, but they are the exact same, so... -------------------------------RO STRAT BELOW-------------------------------- Move in first, then Mix a Sunbursr then throw Shining Gems at it until you get OD again. Use another Sunburst and it will fall. -------------------------RONO STRAT BELOW------------------------------- First Move in. With these battles just continuously throw Shining Gems and if he starts to attack, after a couple heal. 12-13 Shining Gems will make both Fins fall. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ SIN & SINSPAWN GENAIS HP-Sin:36,000 Genais:20,000 AP-Sin:18,000 Genias:1800 Overkill-Sin:3000 Genais:2000 ////////////////////////////////////// -------------------------RO STRAT BELOW--------------------------------- Lol, this is funny. You can kill Genais before it gets an attack if you have your Auto-Haste Targe on, WHICH you should!. Throw 3 Shining Gems and a Fire Gem for a kill on Genais. The Core's attack are pitiful, it can use basic magic and Gravija(3/4 your HP). Make sure to use a Hi-Potion after Gravija. Continue to throw Shining Gems until you get OD, DON'T USE IT!!! Save it for OD Sin. It should die within 6-7 Shining Gems. -------------------------RONO STRAT BELOW------------------------------- Lol, this is funny. You can kill Genais before it gets an attack if you have your Auto-Haste Targe on, WHICH you should!. Throw 3 Shining Gems and a Fire Gem for a kill on Genais. The Core's attack are pitiful, it can use basic magic and Gravija(3/4 your HP). Make sure to use a Hi-Potion after Gravija. Continue to throw Shining Gems and it should die in 6-7 of them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Take a break or whatnot...and maybe Save??? Then find Yuna and Then get ready for ANOTHER BOSS!!!!!! Continuous amounts of bosses...AHHHHHSOME. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ OVERDRIVE SIN HP:140,000 AP:20,000 Overkill:10,000 /////////////////////////////// ----------------------------RO STRAT BELOW------------------------------ Use your OD that you have to Mix Sunburst, then continue to throw Shining Gems until you have OD again. Mix another Sunburst to do more DAMAGE!!! Keep throwinf Shining Gems until OD then use it. You won't even need to heal in this battle. His Pulse attack does ~700 + Status Ailments. Repeat this a few times and SIN WILL FALL!!! --------------------------RONO STRAT BELOW------------------------------ Almost the same as above EXCEPT you can only throw Shining Gems. Ok, if he uses Pulse and you get confused you might not be able to beat him. About 25- 30 Shining Gems later and Sin will die. No need to waste turns healing in this battle, Pulse only does ~700 + Status Ailments. When I killed him he had 3/4 of his OD Gauge full Heh. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Before continuing on, make sure you have Victorious + Waterproof on it. Also you'll need to get a Flexible Arm. You can Fight Yojimbo or get one from a Black Element like i did. Here's Strat for Yojimbo anyway... \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ YOJIMBO HP:33,000 AP:0 Overkill:4060 ////////////////// Very easy battle, that you got Auto-Haste. Use a Sunburst in RO, then use ~2- 3 Shining Gems for an Overkill. In RONO just throw Shining Gems x6 for an Overkill. His attacks are pitiful, he'll only get ~2-3 turns when you have Auto-Haste. After the battle use the Teleporter to get the Flexible Arm, MP Sphere and X- Potions x2. Custimize Initiative(Chocobo Feather x6), First Strike(Return Sphere), Evade & Counter(Teleport Sphere) and Stonestrike(Petrify Grenades x60)/Zombiestrike(Candle of Life x30). I chose Zombiestrike cause it's Aahhhsome. Once you have these Items and Weapons, move back into SIN!!! ======================================================================== Inside Sin (0033) ======================================================================== Behemoth King-HP:67,500 AP:16,800 Overkill: -Candle of Life, wait for 5 Turns.

Use a Candle of Life and wait 5 Turns. Demonolith-HP:45,000 AP:11,000 Overkill:13,560 -One of the only ways to kill them at the moment is Candle of Life and wait 10 Turns. Wraith-HP:22,222 AP:3100 Overkill:13,560 -Again use Candle of Life and wait 3 Turns. Land Worm(Point of no Return Only)-HP:80,000 AP:22,000 Overkill:13,560 -You can either make it go to sleep with Dream Powder then use a Poison Fang and watch it die slowly. Or use Dream Powder and use a Candle of Life and wait 10 Turns. Group Encounters: Ahriman x3 -Use Dream Powder then use Stonestrike on each of them. Exoray x2 + Ahriman -Dream Powder then use Stonestrike or Petrify Grenade. Candle of Life on each works good too and you only have to wait 1 Turn for each. Demonolith x2 -First use Silence Grenade and then a Smoke Bomb. Then use a Candle of Life on each and wait 10 Turns. Demonolith -One of the only ways to kill them at the moment is Candle of Life and wait 10 Turns. Gemini(Club) + Gemini(Sword) -Smoke Bomb, then use Candle of Life on each and wait 3 Turns.

Alright so first use a Chocobo Feather then a Lunar Curtain. Start shooting Shining Gems at him, Mix a Sunburst if you have it. Again, keep using Shining Gems until OD comes back and use another Sunburst. He uses the -aga Spells which'll do nothing to do, Dispel so you'll have to put Chocobo Feather and Shell back on and Ultima which'll do about ~3800. I'm not sure but i tihnk i heard somewhere that his Ultima isn't affected by Shell....but still keep it anyway. Or you could always use Quartet of 9 then a Fire Gem x2 for an Overkill. Either way he dies. --------------------------RONO STRAT BELOW------------------------------ With Armade(all elemental proofs) the only thing that can hurt you is his Ultima. Alright so first use a Chocobo Feather then a Lunar Curtain. Start shooting Shining Gems at him until he uses Dispel. Use your Chocobo Feather and Lunar Curtain. Then he'll use Ultima, which'll do ~3600 damage. Heal that damage with Mega-Potions. Use some more Shining Gems, and then he'll use Dispel again. So, you know what to do...Chocobo Feather + Lunar Curtain. You'll have him dead before he can use another Ultima.

Now, use your Dark Matters to do ~13,000 damage to BFA and Yu Paragons. Once, he's down a lot of HP he will start using Sword Swipe for ~1700, so watch out. Once your out of Dark Matters, start using Blessed Gems again. When he's low on HP and get OD MAKE SURE YOU HAVE FULL HP!!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO IT!!! If not at full HP it will most likely kill you, that's of course if you didn't use Stamina Tablet because it does ~4500.
