First Version Submitted On : 6:00 PM on Wednesday February 7 2007 Current Version Submitted On: 6:00 PM on Wednesday February 7 2007 Copyright KADFC 2007

This guide can only be posted on Gamefaqs.com.And KaddyGuides.com

(Quick Find: Ctrl + F, then put the name of the section from the Table of ) Contents.



Most importantly, I would like to thank Jobber (jobber2022497) for solving and helping me the most for this guide.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Introduction=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To start this thing off, I'm making this due to a promise, somewhat. Even so, I'll try to do my best to create regardless of pressure or expectation. Regardless how knowledgable I am, nor how well I can explain the process. If this doesn't fit my expectation, I won't leave this gamefaqs, even if it was already posted.

I was informed that the first FAQ regarding Max Stats for FFX was written by JungleJim. I have seen him posted on the boards before as well as discussed with him in certain topics, so he will be acknowledge. However, since I don't

have a copy of FAQ, I'll start this from scratch and basically set my layout. Even so, I will use Split's FAQ or any other FAQ that I find already posted at my advantage. Adding to that sum, the wonderful board of FFX of gamefaqs. Needless to say, all of which will be credited where credit will be given. I have max my characters stats before, and I have done it three times before, so my methods may not be something that most people recommend, but it works.

To end the intro, I'll make it clear. This FAQ doesn't tell you how to defeat all the Monster Arena Creations. This won't tell you how to obtain all the Celestial Weapon or any. This FAQ doesn't serve in anyways like a walkthrough. It won't say anything regarding any sidequests, period.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Pre-Knowledge=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The whole process of maxing your stats revolves around your storyline of getting the Airship. This section is for all the things I want you to know before getting the Airship. I'm talking about getting the Airship after you have passed by Calm Lands.



1. Overdrives - The only overdrives needed to complete the task Tidus = Slice and Dice Wakka = Attack Reels Rikku = Frag Grenade Note: You only need these for maxing your stats. Blitz Ace is optional since it's rather slow and have a delay effect compared to Slice and Dice.

2. Overdrive Mode - Try to obtain Comrade and Victor in ahead of time. Stotic = You start out with this, so don't worry about it. Comrade = Ally other than self hit by an enemy. Tidus - 300; Wakka - 100; Auron - 220; Yuna - 240; Lulu/Kimarhi - 100 Victor = Win a battle while having them be in the front (active) lines. Tidus - 120; Rikku - 140; Wakka - 160 Loner = Tidus Only. By himself, stay in battle for 60 turns. For Loner, wait until you've obtained Yellow Shield (Thunder Plains) Note: You can't learn these while you're in the Monster Arena.

3. Abilities - Try limiting the number of abilites for each character. There are far too many abilities that are waste of time, especially in the post game. That's why you should have a mindset to not learn every single ability the sphere grid offers as a way of convenience. Not everyone needs to be able to cast Fire. The following are the abilities best to learn: - Quick Attack = From Kimarhi's initial position, shift all the way west

- Steal = Rikku starts out with this - Use = Rikku starts out with this - Bribe = From Lulu's initial positition, proceed southeast - Flee = Tidus starts out with this

4. Get the Cloudy Mirror from Remiem Temple's Chocobo Race. You don't have to do it right now, but it shouldn't be that troublesome. Talk to the Chocobo Catcher, train a Chocobo, ride one to Southeast part of Calm Lands. Head for the temple, go to the left side, talk to sphere, go to right, talk to chocobo, and race. Win the race and you'll get the Mirror.

5. Equipment Preparation. Two things. Get the Yellow Shield for Tidus off the ground during your first time outside Thunder Plain's Travel Agency. Also,

make sure that you talk to Wantz during your trip up Mt. Gagazet before the fight with Flux. This is for being able to buy equipments from Wantz from Macalania Forest after getting the Airship.

6. Must Obtain Anima. In order to obtain Anima, you must acquire/get the Destruction Sphere treasure from all Cloister of Trials. NOTE: You can't miss the one from Bevelle Temple, ever.

7. While you are at Zanakand Ruins, steal at from 10 - 20 Candles of Life. You can return here to get them as well. They are stolen from the dead soldiers and they are common steals.

8. Make sure that you have fully compiled all 26 Al Bhed Primers throughout

the game or reload it from a previous save. Then on first time aboard the Airship, talk to Rin to get 99 Underdog's Secret. Keep 60 of them for future use.

9. This might be a hard task, but not for most NSGers. Keep Rikku's HP low, or even at her initial HP. At the same time, Rikku must kill at least 450 - 900 enemies. Not a hard task for some. Overall, one of the best ways for her to get these number of kills is by using Items. The other way is by giving her a capture weapon with Stonestrike or Deathstrike customized on it (which is later in the game)



=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The Three Types of Sphere Grids=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= If you didn't already know, there are three (3) types of sphere grids for Final Fantasy X. However, that's based on 3 version of the game itself.

NA Version (North American), which is sold at at the US and Canada (which is why it's called the NA Version), is what most Americans have. They are only offered only one type of sphere grid.

International, as well as the PAL version, is sold in places outside of the US. They offer more extras than the NA Version have. You should also know that the 1st option of the INT/PAL version isn't the same as the NA's grid. The Standar Sphere Grid contains the same abilities that is offered in the Expert Sphere Grid, plus more nodes. Expert Grid offers the play more flexibility overall, being that abilities are very close to each other, more less number of nodes compared to Standard.

Note: If you're in the US and want to play these versions, you'll have to

order them online. In order to play them, you'll have to put a Modchip into your PS2; or use a Swap Magic and the Slide Card. If you are doing this for the sole purpose to play a few games, I suggest the Swap Magic. It's cheap and that is what I'm currently using.

In summary: Regular Sphere Grid = Only offered in the NA Version. Standard Sphere Grid = Only offered in the International/PAL Version. Expert Sphere Grid = Only offered in the International/PAL Version. (NOTE: NA = NA; International/PAL = INT/PAL)

There are two way to look at this, both being perfectly possible.

#1 - The NA Way 9999 HP 999 MP 255 Strength 170 Agility 255 Defense 255 Evasion 255 Magic 255 Accuracy 255 Magic Defense xxx Luck

#2 - The Dark Aeon Way 99999 HP 999 MP 255 Strength 170 Agility 255 Defense +30 Evasion 255 Magic xxx Accuracy 255 Magic Defense 255 Luck

(NOTE: Functional with 9999 HP)

xxx = Doesn't matter. Might as well equal 0. +30 = At or above 30

#1 is what I recommend for all the NA people. However, they can copy #2, but not the HP obtained. #2's format can only be obtained using the Standard Sphere Grid, not the Expert Sphere Grid. Even with the #2's setup, there are still more nodes that can be used.



The Dark Aeon Way is needed in the Int/PAL Version so that all attacks will connect and deal critical, even when facing against the Dark Aeons and Penance

I'll limit the amount of detail, so I'll give only the information that you need to know. The whole purpose of maxing stats is to keep all the +4 Nodes and at the same time remove all nodes that isn't +4. We remove those nodes by using an item called Clear Spheres, which is sold at the Monster Arena after you've completed a certain task. For an exact and complete explanation, I'll include a section called "The Math," a section that most people should just skip unless they are interested.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The Nine Setups=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The following Nine Setup is given for the three types of sphere grids. Each type will have 3 setups, that being Sane, Insane, and No Clear Sphere. This may be a little too much to absorb, so just skip to the parts that you want. When you got the part that you want, copy and paste that section into aseparate text/document file for easier access.

Note: The number of required Clear Spheres may not be totally accurate due to the fact that you might not use them to fully clear all the non-(+4) nodes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regular Sphere Grid (Sane)------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the Regular Sphere Grid, I'll make 3 different setups. The first setup is what is really needed for the NA Version itself. This isn't what a perfectionist will do, but no one will tell the difference unless they directly analyze your sphere grid. Also, this setup corresponds to #1, the NA way.

What is needed: 40 Strength Spheres 21 Agility Spheres 51 Defense Spheres 59 Accuracy Spheres 46 Magic Spheres 44 Evasion Spheres 47 Magic Defense Spheres

308 - 188 (Initial Empty) = 120 Clear Spheres

About HP, if you didn't remove any HP nodes, that is perfectly fine when you aren't using Break HP Limit. You will get 9999 HP (19400 with BHPL). Therefore, you "can" delete 47 +200 HP Nodes on the grid. The grid only has +200 HP Nodes. If this was the case, you'll need to add 47 to the original

count of Clear Spheres if you were to delete the unnessary HP nodes.

About MP, if you didn't remove any MP nodes, that is perfectly fine if you aren't using Break MP Limit. You will get 999 MP (1250 with BMPL). Therefore, you "can" delete 1 (there's only one) +10 MP, and 6 (out of 7) +40 MP nodes on the grid.

Nodes Total - (Unremovable + Stats + HP + MP) 828 - (77 + 420 + 97 + 56) = 178 nodes left. Meaning, if you follow these specifics, you'll obtain the NA Way, while



still having 178 Empty nodes to fill. Also meaning that you'll have 232 Empty nodes if you removed my recommended HP and MP nodes, instead of 178

Nodes Total - (Unremovable + Stats + HP + MP) 828 - (77 + 420 + 50 + 49) = 232 Empty Nodes left.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regular Sphere Grid (Insane)------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The second setup is to show what you can get when you limit a lot of stuff on the NA Version. That being how you deal with Luck VS. Accuracy/Evasion. This corresponds to #2, the Dark Aeon Way.

This basically has the same potential as the Sane Version. 255 Luck can replace 255 Accuracy with 255 Evasion. Getting this amount for a character is quite tedious though, but not impossible. I've done it twice already, and for all my characters both times (not the same version though).

Nodes Total - (Unremovable + Stats (Luck Added, No ACC & EVA) + MP) 828 - (77 + 354 + 25) = 372 nodes left for HP With 333 nodes for HP, you can obtain 99999 HP 372 - 333 = 39 Empty Nodes left.

What is needed: 40 Strength Spheres 21 Agility Spheres 51 Defense Spheres 58 Luck Spheres with ~420 Fortune Sphere 46 Magic Spheres 333 HP Spheres 47 Magic Defense Spheres 18 MP Spheres


------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regular Sphere Grid (No Clear Spheres)------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The third setup is to obtain #1, the NA Way, without using any Clear Spheres.

Clear Spheres are costly in the long run, since they cost 10,000 gil a piece.

What is needed: 20 Strength Spheres 46 Accuracy Spheres 31 Defense Spheres 32 Evasion Spheres 29 Magic Spheres 33 Magic Defense Spheres

I guess this would have to be the simpliest one to use. You don't have to remove any of the nodes on the grid. After using up everything you should still have 64 Empty Nodes left. You can use that up for Agility and/or HP/MP.

If you give it all to HP, that will give an extra 19200 HP.

19200 + 19400 (Already on Grid) = 38600

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Standard Sphere Grid - International/PAL (Sane)------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This sphere grid has a total of 860 nodes, 85 of it being unremovable nodes, so are left with 775 nodes to manipulate with. For this, I will make 3 setups. Like before, there will be Sane, Insane, and No Clear Spheres.



What is needed: 40 Strength Spheres 21 Agility Spheres 51 Defense Spheres 58 Luck Sphere with ~240 Fortune Spheres 45 Magic Spheres 47 Magic Defense Spheres

262 - 191 (Initial Empty) = 71 + 29 + 35 (ACC + EVA) = 135 Clear Spheres

For the sole purposes of version itself, don't manipulate any of the HP/MP nodes since it won't help any for the Dark Aeons/Penance. You don't need BHPL for Dark Aeons/Penance's battle anyways.

From here down, all the formats are Dark Aeon (#2) or relevant to it. However, Sane is not including 99999 HP, just 9999 HP.

Manipulable Nodes - (Stats + HP + MP) 775 - (354 + 97 + 56) = 268 Nodes left 268 nodes for HP gives 80400 80400 + 19400 (Already on Grid) = 99800 (Which means that you didn't remove any of the HP nodes and kept on adding HP Spheres to the grid, you would hit 99999 for everyone)

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

Standard Sphere Grid - International/PAL (Insane)------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The insane version for the Standard Sphere grid is almost the same as the Sane version, but the minor difference is what we do with HP.

What is needed: 40 Strength Spheres 21 Agility Spheres 51 Defense Spheres 58 Luck Spheres with ~420 Fortune Spheres 45 Magic Spheres 333 HP Spheres 47 Magic Defense Spheres 18 MP Spheres


For showing off, this would probably be the perfect version to do it, as well as the perfect sphere grid. In this format, we will max out HP. This will make it so that this reaches what was presented in the Dark Aeon chart above.

Manipulable Nodes - (Stats + HP + MP) 775 - (354 + 25) = 396 Nodes left 333 nodes for HP gives 99900, which will make everyone reach 99999 396 - 333 = 63 Nodes left; Use it for Agility if you want

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Standard Sphere Grid - International/PAL (No Clear Sphere)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Like the previous one for the Regular Sphere grid, this applies for the Standard Sphere Grid. Everything will reach Dark Aeod Way, except for 99999 HP

What is needed: 20 Strength Sphere 55 Luck Sphere with ~448 Fortune Sphere 30 Defense Sphere 27 Magic Sphere 32 Magic Defense Sphere

This setup is basically the best format to use when you're trying to



complete the Dark Aeons/Penance will using the Standard Sphere Grid. Remember, this is without using any Clear Sphere. So this means use up all the spheres listed and activate all of them.

After all of that, you should still have 80 nodes left. If you apply all this to HP only, that would give 24000 24000 + 19700 (already on grid) = 43700 HP

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Expert Sphere Grid - International/PAL (Sane)------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Expert Sphere Grid has 792 Nodes total. 85 of which is not removable, so there's 707 nodes to manipulate with. This setup is the same one used for Standard - Sane, by means of results.

What is needed: 40 Strength Spheres 24 Agility Spheres 53 Defense Spheres 59 Luck Spheres 41 Magic Spheres 46 Magic Defense Spheres

263 - 224 (Initial Empty) = 39 Clear Sphere

Manipulable Nodes - (Stats + HP + MP) 707 - (354 + 81 + 47) = 225 nodes left. 225 nodes for HP gives 67500 HP 67500 + 16200 (Already on grid) = 83700 HP

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Expert Sphere Grid - International/PAL (Insane)------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 707 nodes can be played with. Even limiting to the very least, you can hardly pull out 99999 HP. You could, of course, sacrafice a few Magic nodes, or even some Luck nodes, to reach 99999 HP. If that was the case, you need to sacrafice 5 nodes for everyone to get 99999.

What is needed: 40 Strength Spheres 24 Agility Spheres 53 Defense Spheres 59 Luck Spheres 41 Magic Spheres ~328 HP Sphere 46 Magic Defense Spheres

591 - 224 (Initial Empty) = 367 Clear Sphere

Manipulable Nodes - (Stats + MP) 707 - (354 + 25) = 328 nodes left. 328 nodes for HP gives 98400 HP, however no one will reach 99999

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Expert Sphere Grid - International/PAL (No Clear Sphere)------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One of the hardeset task to do, but these are the results of what is possible. FYI, the Expert Sphere Grid is something that has the lowest number of nodes. Therefore, if you don't use Clear Spheres, there isn't much you can do. And yet, it still works.

What is needed:



23 Strength Spheres 13 Agility Spheres 30 Defense Spheres 56 Luck Spheres 27 Magic Spheres 34 Magic Defense Spheres

After all that, you should have 93 Empty nodes left. HP Sphere all of that and you get 27900 27900 + 16200 (Already on grid) = 44100 HP

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The Math=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= All stats sphere offers +4 (Strength, Magic, Defense, Magic Defense, Agility, Evasion, Accuracy, and Luck) HP Spheres offers +300 MP Spheres offers +40

To start off, this is the initial stats of all characters. (NSGIE)

--------.-----------.--------------------.------------------ Tidus | 520 12 | 15 5 5 5 | 10 18 10 10 Wakka | 618 10 | 14 10 10 5 | 7 19 5 25 Yuna | 475 84 | 5 5 20 20 | 10 17 30 3 ------------------------------------------------------------ Lulu | 380 92 | 5 8 20 30 | 5 17 40 3 Kimahri| 644 78 | 16 15 17 5 | 6 18 5 5 Auron | 1030 33 | 20 15 5 5 | 5 17 5 3 ------------------------------------------------------------ Rikku | 360 85 | 10 8 10 8 | 16 18 5 5

Strength - Is maxed out at 255 Lowest Strength is 5, from Yuna and Lulu.

255 - 5 = 250; 250/4 = 63

Defense - Is maxed out at 255 Lowest Defense is 5, from Tidus and Yuna. 255 - 5 = 250; 250/4 = 63

Magic - Is maxed out at 255 Lowest Magic is 5, from Tidus and Auron. 255 - 5 = 250; 250/4 = 63

Magic Defense - Is maxed out at 255 Lowest Magic Defense is 5, from Tidus, Wakka, Kimarhi, and Auron. 255 - 5 = 250; 250/4 = 63

Agility - Is maxed out at 170. Having 170 Agility is the same as having 255. Even so, if you have any spare nodes, it should go into this. Lowest Agility is 5, from Auron. 170 - 5 = 165; 165/4 = 42

Luck - The amount of Luck needed is determined by which version you are playing. For godlike powers, you'll need 255 in INT/PAL. However, since it takes a very long time to get 255 Luck, it's not recommended for the NA version. But you should know, 255 Luck = 255 Evasion + 255 Accuracy.



Lowerst Luck is 17, from Yuna, Lulu, and Auron. 255 - 17 = 238; 238/4 = 60 (NOTE: Since this is based on version; ignore this for Sane NA Version)

Evasion and Accuracy - Is maxed out at 255, but can be replaced by Luck. Lowest Evasion is 5, from Wakka, Kimarhi, Auron, and Rikku. 255 - 5 = 250; 250/4 = 63 Lowest Accuracy is 3, from Yuna, Lulu, and Auron 255 - 3 = 252; 252/4 = 63 (NOTE: Since this is based on version; ignore this for Insane and

INT/PAL Version)

Evasion - A minimum of 30 Evasion is needed for Int/PAL 30 - 5 = 25; 25/4 = 7

HP - Is maxed out at 99999. Lowest HP is 360, from Rikku 99999 - 360 = 99639; 99639/300 = 333 9999 - 360 = 9639; 9639/300 = 33 (NOTE: 99999 is for Insane NA and Int/PAL, 9999 is for NA Sane)

MP - Is maxed out at 9999 Lowest MP is 12, from Tidus 9999 - 12 = 9987; 9987/40 = 250

999 - 12 = 987; 987/40 = 25 (NOTE: Having 9999 MP is close to useless, except for show)

(NOTE: All final numbers are rounded up.)

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Post Airship=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= After you've obtained the Airship, the following is a list below is what you should do. This isn't the full thing, just the early process. I don't recommend just getting everyone's Celestial weapon early on. Just the ones that is needed.

If you are wondering what characters you should using, I don't have an exact party for you. The character that you must use is Rikku.



*Rikku* - Easy Celestial to Power Up, Core of Operation

Easy Celestials - The two characters where their Celestials is way easy to get Auron = Part of the monster capturing process Yuna = Also apart of the monster capturin process, as well as getting Anima

Most Useful - Hard/Tedious Celestial, but useful, especially for Dark Aeon Way Tidus - Chocobo Catcher is torture for some; Main Earth Eater Slayer Wakka - Tedious Celestial/Blitzball; Secondary Earth Eater Slayer

If you just want a few men to finish the whole process without too much hassle and is willing to pay the price of being inefficent, then the party of: Rikku, Auron, and Yuna - should be the ones that you should pick.

However, if you want to be as efficient as possilbe, don't mind getting their Celestial, and want to reap the rewards of a pro, then the party of: Rikku, Tidus, and Wakka - should be the ones that you should pick.

Yet, you can always use the Easy Celestial first, then switch to Most Useful later on in the process. If you just want to get it all over with, being that the Usefulness is what I'll use mainly in this guide, then do so.

1. Cloudy Mirror. 2. Macalania -> Celestial Mirror

3. Rikku's Celestial at Bikanel, Macanalia and Power Up Fully 4. Hunt for Mimics at Omega Ruins 5. Monster Arena -> Calm Lands

(1) Cloudy Mirror Get the Cloud Mirror as part of Remiem Temple's Chocobo Race. Remiem Temple is located at the southeastern part of the Calm Lands. You need to ride a chocobo to get there. You just need to train a chocobo by passing the first avaliable training, and that's all you need... for now.

(2) Macalania -> Celestial Mirror Go to Macalania Temple and complete the quest involving the family of three. First talk to the Mother/Son, then head right to look for the

father. Then go back to the Mother, travel left on the crystal road, and finally to the Celestial Stone. When you've done that talk to the Stone. Then change the Cloudy Mirror into the Celestial Mirror.

(3) Rikku's Celestial at Bikanel, Macanalia and Power Up Fully You may wonder why you should get this. Mainly it isn't about the BDL, but the built in Gillionaire that's apart of it. It's one of the most efficient ways to make a lot of gil early on. The Crest and Sigil is apart of Bikanel. One of them being in a chest near the sandstorm, and the other one is got after you complete the Cactuar Sidequest.

Then enter "GODHAND" into the airship passwords to get Rikku's Celestial. After that go back to Macalania's Stone and power it up fully. Now make

sure that you have a healthy supply of Phoenix Downs. Around 30 + should be enough.

While you are at it, get Anima from Baaj Temple. X - 15, Y - 60

(4) Hunt for Mimics at Omega Ruins Now this is the part where you actually get a lot of gil as one of the best ways as of right now. In Airships, use Search, and try around: X - 70; Y - 35. Save your game. Get a party with everyone having First Strike on their weapon. Sonic Steel was one of them, if you remembered



to get it. Otherwise, you can customize it by using 1 Return Sphere. I recommend that Rikku has a First Strike weapon.

Get into a battle that has a treasure chest with a Zaurus. Escape/Flee all other battles. The first thing to do in battle is to steal from the chest. If it turns into a Mimic, stay in battle, in not, flee. The first thing you should do after the Mimic appears is use a Candle of Life on it, which will cast Doom on it. Now get rid of the Zaurus with physical attacks or other methods. If you can't use a Candle of Life on it as well. After the Zaurus is gone, make sure that Rikku has her Celestial on, and then wait for the Mimic's time to expire. Defend in the meantime and use Phoenix Downs if someone were to get KO'd. After the battle, you would get 100,000 Gil. Do this 10 times at least, or until you run out of CoL.

(5) Monster Arena - > Calm Lands Go to Calm Land's Monster Arena, get a few a capturing weapons. More than likely it should be for Tidus, Wakka, Kimarhi, and/or Auron. Now capture 1 of each monster that's in the Calm Lands. Go back to talk to the Monster Arena Owner (I'll just call him Owner from now on), now you'll be able to capture fiends from other areas. He'll also give you 60 Farplane Winds, which is perfectly the items needed to customize Deathstrike. Customize it to one of your capture weapons. Hopefully you bought at least 2 capture weapons. (9 Total)

(6) Capture Process - > Djose Travel to Djose and Capture 1 of every fiend there. Always try to get encounter with fiends that is around the entrance to Djose Temple and Moonflow. That's because Simurgh only appears around there. Also know that Ochu appears on the southern parts of Moonflow, as well as the Bite Bugs. After you've capture 1 of each (7 total Total), head back to the owner and he'll give you 99 Petrify Grenade, which is more than enough to customize Stonestrike. It takes 60 Petrify Grenade to customize Stonestrike, put it into one of your capture weapons.

(7) Capture Process - > Massacre 1 Using the Stonestrike and Deathstrike Capture weapons, catch 10 of each fiend from the following places:

Besaid Kilika Mi'hien Mushroom Rock Road Djose Thunder Plains Macalania Sanubia Desert Calm Lands

NOTE: Mi'hien: Some of their fiends are apart of Mushroom Rock Djose: Simurgh appears on the second half of the Djose Road, more directly, they appear on the half closes to Djose Temple. Ochu is apart of the Moonflow South/North roads, as well as a few other fiends. Thunder Plains: Iron Giant only appears on the northern half. Larvae shows up more frequently on the north parts as well. It would be best if you activate at least 2 Cactuar stones to make the Quacters come out and play.

Macalania: Divided into two parts. The forest is the part with all the crystal and Celestial Stone is at. The other part is the snowfields, the part outside outside of the Travel Agency. Sanubia Desert: To get more frequents of Zu / Zuu and Sand Worm, try the west part from the 3rd Save Sphere to the North. There is crest that saids that harder enemies are over to that side. From the 3rd Save Sphere, going a screen north has the same effect for Zu/Sand Worm encounter rate as as well. To make life easier when trying to get Cactuars, try getting them as part of the Cactuar Sidequest because they won't flee. Just make sure that you save inbetween matches. If you've already passed this part, just



search in the area where the sand storm was protecting, they'll have a fairly good amount of Cactuar encounter rates. Calm Lands: For the rarer/harder fiends, search around the Northwestern parts of the Calm Lands. If you are have a hard time finding Malboros and Coeurl, and they are the only ones left, head for Sunken Cave instead. They have them as well, strange as it maybe.

In the process, you'll get a few (many goodies) from the Owner. Get these items before going to step 8: -Mushroom Rock - 99 Candle of Life (More Mimic killers.)

-Thunder Plains - 99 Chocobo Wing - 80 for Auto-Haste (Customize Auto-Haste to one armor, better than nothing)

-Kilika & Bikanel - 99 Poison Fang & Shadow Gem - Good Capturing Support

-Birdies - 99 Mega Phoenix - 20 for Auto-Phoenix (Customize Auto-Phoenix onto 5 armors)

-Unlock 6 Area Creations - 99 Door to Tomorrow - 10 for Overdrive -> AP (Meaning you can customize this close to 10 times. There are 7 characters total, so you could put O -> AP 3 times, onto your main three characters. Then leave the other 7 customization for a better

AP Weapon)

Note: Your Stonestrike/Deathstrike works for most of the fiends, except for a few fiends. Sand Worm, Zuu, Malboro, Ghost, and Tonberry are those types of fiends. All other capturable fiends should be killed physical forces (physical number damages).

For Sandworm, there are many ways. Poison Fang to inflict Poison on it. You can inflict Sleep on it by using a stolen item from one of the wolves in the area. You can also steal a Shadow Gem from him and use it back on him. As a last option, if you have it, use Anima to lower his HP with Attack/Pain, but make sure the finishing blow is from a capture weapon. For Zuu, Poison and Blind works. So you can steal a Smoke Bomb from it and

use it on him. Shadow Gems if you got any and there's always the option of Anima.

(8) Direct Captures - Main Purposes, Unlocking Certain Monster Creations I'll list the general stuff, but if you think you can capture 10 of each or whatever monster you run into, that would be great. A) For Sunken Cave (Cavern of the Stolen Fayth - CotSF) Capture 1 of each fiend there. --------> Don Tonberry (NOTE: If you are having trouble with Tonberry, use Dream/Sleep Powder with Shadow Gems. Trouble with Ghost and you can use Anima as well as the Silence Grenade stolen from the mushroom in CotSF.)

B) Gagazet Cave, near the Save Point. Get into a battle with Ahriman and Grendel, capture both of them. You'll need 4 Ahriman. Since Grendel come with Ahriman and this is the only battle that Grendle shows up in, capture him as well.

C) Omega Ruins (X-75, Y-35), capture 4 Floating Death. Everyone up to this point, unlock a creation. --------> One-Eye



=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AP Weapon and AP Trick=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Since you've now unlocked Don Tonberry, that's where the AP Trick will will come in. However, before we start the process, you'll need the AP Weapon, as well as the armor suited for this cause.

Before I continue the whole process, there's one little goal that you have to complete before you head to the next section, "Finishing the Capturing." And that is to have 1 or 2 characters complete the sphere grid, especially all the STR and AGL nodes. You can leave everything else unactivated, but doactivate the following abilities: Steal, Use, Bribe, and Quick Attack. O, btw, those 2 characters are the ones with the Capture Weapons.

One last comment. The minimum strength needed for you to be able to deal 9999 against most capturable fiends is 70. So once you've obtained 70 Strength, you can now continue with the next section, if you want to. For agility, the more the better. Agility does max out at 170.

*Overdrive Mode* Comrade and Stoic is the only ones that you need for this process. Stotic is

what everyone starts out with, so Comrade can be a problem.

To get this, someone else from the frontline must be hit by an enemy. Tidus = 300 times Yuna = 240 times Auron = 220 times; Everyone else = 100 times

-= Math on Don Tonberry AP Trick =- Since we are using OD -> AP, when the OD bar charged from 0 to 100%, 1 SLvl is gained. Stotic (the person taking the damage from Karma) will slightly get more AP than the people using Comrade.

Stotic Example -

Tidus has 560 AP, Karma deals 70000, Overdrive -> AP on weapon = 70000 * 30 = 2100000; 2100000 / 560 = 3750; 3750/100 = 37.5 = Around 37 SLevel will be gain

= (Damage Recieved * 30 = A); (A / Max HP = B); (B / 100 = C) = Round (C) down = SLevel gained

Comrade Example - Comrade User's HP doesn't matter, He only has Overdrive -> AP Comrade User's Ally (CUA) has 360 HP, Karma done to her is 60000 = 60000 * 20 = 1200000; 1200000 / 360 = 3333; 3333 / 100 = 33.33 = Around 33 SLevel will be gain

= (Damage Recieved by CUA * 20 = A); (A / CUA's Max HP = B); (B / 100 = C) = Round (C) down = SLevel gained

NOTE: When the AP Weapon has Triple/Double AP and/or Double/Triple Overdrive, it's effect will stack. If both are triple, the original AP will be multiplied by 9.

-= Armor suited for AP Trick =- This isn't the MA Armor, just the minimum for the AP Trick. However, it will become the MA Armor in the future. To start off, go to Macalania Forest, enter



from Thunder Plains. You should see Wantz, talk to him and buy the armor that he offers. The armor/s that you buy, should buy correspond to whoever you decide to make the Level 1 AP Weapons for. Each armor cost around 100,000 gil.

After you get one, you just need to customize 1 ability onto it. That being Auto-Phoenix by using 20 Mega Phoenix. That's it.

-= AP Weapon =- The perfect AP Weapon is: (Level 3 AP Weapon) Overdrive -> AP; Triple AP; Triple Overdrive

Yet, we can't get this yet. So we'll have to do something close, but without too much hassle. The perfect AP weapon is at level 3, so let's start with level one first. Overdrive -> AP is made from using 10 Door to Tomorrow, which was from unlocking 6 Area Creations. So you don't need to worry about this, since you have plenty for 10 customizations.

*Level 1 AP Weapon* Overdrive -> AP; Double Overdrive

You should make only 1 or 2 of these weapons. Making anything more is a waste of items.

There are 2 qualification needed you to make Level 1 AP Weapons for them.

NOTE: More directly, make Level 1 AP Weapons any of the following characters: Rikku (a must) Wakka Auron Yuna Tidus

The people that has the first AP weapons will be the one to slay One-Eye in 2 hits, and that is the main purpose of this. However, the other task that they must do is remodeling the Sphere Grid. A good choice in this case would be Auron's Celestial, since it has First Strike. One-Eye is known for Ambushing frequently.

Overdrive -> AP is taken care of already, which now leads to Double Overdrive. Double Overdrive is from 30 Underdog Secrets, so if you did the whole Al Bhed Primers and Rin part, you'll get 99 of these. We'll be using 30/60 of these.

If you can't get Double Overdrive, they'll just have to settle with Overdrive -> AP only. All other ways of customization to make this thing go faster is wasting more time than simply using Overdrive -> AP.

-AP Gaining Process- Get 99 Phoenix Downs 99999 Reciever = Get into Stoic OD mode, AP Weapon 2nd AP Weapon Holder = Get into Comrade OD mode, AP Weapon, Auto-Phoenix

Have the 9 Reciever attack Don Tonberry. It will counter with Everyone's Grudge. The 2nd AP WH will automatically use Phoenix Down. Only the 9 Reciever should attack, everyone else use defend. Keep on doing this and if you meet

one of these phases, just flee the battle or kill Don (if you can): 1) You run out of Phoenix Down (VERY RARE) 2) Don stops using Everyone's Grudge 3) Special situation, you already got enough AP to hit Slvl 99

*Level 2 AP Weapon* Overdrive -> AP; Triple AP; (Empty) ----> Dropped by One-Eye (Monster Arena)

The weapon itself is good enough, when compared to Level 1. This weapon is for all other characters that didn't get a Level 1 AP Weapon, since getting



the weapon itself has Triple AP on it. To get this, you'll need to constantly kill One-Eye constantly for his drops. Even though the killing blow is said to have a higher chance of dropping an equipment for that person that kills it, you'll still need to do this.

Overall, get Level 2 AP Weapons for the following characters: Rikku Wakka Auron Yuna Tidus

If you have Celestials on and you've activated every single STR node on the initial sphere grid, your people can easily do 99999. If you want the bare minimum for a 2 hit kill, you'll need a strength of 137. That will guarantee that each hit will deal 75000+ because One-Eye only has 150000.

NOTE: All three types of sphere grids in their initial state gives enough STR nodes for people with Celestials to deal 99999 (when it's not against any armored fiends)

You'll need to customize Overdrive -> AP onto it, that's not a problem. However, if you want to add Triple Overdrive to it, that will be very hard. To get that, you'll to use 30 Winning Formula.

A) For 99 WF, Unlock All Area Creations. So that will take care of 3 weapons. B) Overkill Ultima Buster for 2, Unlock by capture 5 of each fiend. C) 1,800,000 for one weapon. By Bribe. Sand Worm. Waste of time!

*Level 3 AP Weapon* Overdrive -> AP; Triple AP; Triple Overdrive ---> Dropped by Ultima Buster (Ultima Buster: Monster Arena, Capture 5 of each Fiend)

Well, we're back to this again. You can, of course, create this via Level 2. Yet, if you lack the patience and want another gamble. Try killing Ultima Buster constantly. Ultima Buster will basically drop this weapon with all these abilities already on it. Some people will try to aim for a 4-slotted weapon with the specifics on it

Upgrading it from Level 2 seems to work, if you have Overkilled Ultima Buster 15 times and still haven't got the weapon that you wanted for a

specific character.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------AP Gaining Table Examples------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here are a few examples of how many Slevels are gained when using this method. Only Overdrive -> AP is used. 1 Karma is used, and then flee.

| Max HP | OD Mode | Karma # | SLevel Gained | With Triple AP or OD |-.--------.---------.---------.---------------.-----------------------. | 1160 | Stotic | 33300 | 8 | 24 | | 360 | Stotic | 99999 | 83 | 99 | | 9999 | Stotic | 99999 | 3 | 9 |

| 4060 | Stotic | 66600 | 4 | 12 | | 1200 | Stotic | 99999 | 24 | 72 |-.--------.---------.---------.---------------.-----------------------. | 1160 | Comrade | 33300 | 5 | 15 | | 360 | Comrade | 99999 | 55 | 99 | | 9999 | Comrade | 99999 | 2 | 6 | | 4060 | Comrade | 66600 | 3 | 9 | | 1200 | Comrade | 99999 | 16 | 42 |

NOTE: When using Comrade, what matter is Ally's HP and what they recieved.



=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Kottos Trick and Level # Keys=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= If you have the AP to use, but not the Power-Mana-Speed-Ability Sphere to use it, then read this small section. Before that, you can deal 99999 with your celestial correct? If yes, good.

First, get Distillers of the kind of Spheres that you want. You can buy them from the Monster Arena's Owner.

Go into the Monster Arena -> Area Creations -> Kottos

Use the Distiller on them (the type that you want). After that, Overkill Kottos. If you have Auto-Phoenix on, that would save some time. After the battle ends, commonly it would give 40 (P/M/S/A) Spheres. Rarely it would give 2 instead of 40, if that was the case, those were meant to be Dark Matters. If you didn't overkill Kottos, you'll only get 20 or 1.

Yet, if you don't have enough STR nodes filled on the sphere grid to deal

99999 and that's the reason why you need Power Spheres, then you'll have to use other ways:

1) Keep on slaughering the Dingo (Besaid - 1st), more than likely, you'll overkill them constantly. They'll drop 2 Power Spheres each time. 2) I don't prefer this method, but I'll mention it. Remiem Temple. Belgemine's Ixion. Keep on killing him for 8 Power Spheres each time, after the first time.

*Level # Keys* The other thing that you might run short are Level Keys, especially Level 3 and 4 Keys. I'll now give the best ways to acquire each of these keys during late in the game.

If you already didn't know, you can call up these fiends from the Monster Arena to fight them. The people doing the killing blow or stealing should have First Strike on, especially if they are weak and they can be KO'd from 1 of the enemy's attacks. Also for the Rare Steals, you'll need Master Thief to make things go faster.

First Strike: 1 Return Sphere - Overkill Chimerageist (MA - Calm Lands) for 2 Return Spheres (Best Way) - Dark Element - CotSF - Bribe with 36,000 for 4 Return Spheres Master Thief: 30 Pendulum - Overkill Neslug (MA - Unlock All Area Creations) for 2 Pendulums - Remiem Temple's Chocobo Race - Win with 4 Chests, No Poles (Best Way)

- The Prize is 30 Pendulums

-= Level 1 Keys =- Imp - CotSF/Sunken Cave - Bribe with 17,600 Gil for 4 Keys Master Coeurl - Omega Ruins - Overkill for 2 Keys

-= Level 2 Keys =- Behemoth - Gagazet - Bribe with 460,000 Gil for 30 Keys Catastrophe - Monster Arena (Unlock 6 Area Creations - Rare Steal for 1 Key



-= Level 3 Keys =- Demonolith - Inside Sin/Omega Ruins - Bribe with 900,000 Gil for 40 Keys Ultima Buster - Monster Arena (Capture 5 of each Fiend) - Rare Steal for 1 Key Machea - Omega Ruins - Constantly Overkill them for their Rare Drops of 2 Keys

-= Level 4 Keys =- Chimera Brain - Calm Lands - Bribe with 196,000 for 2 Keys Nemesis - MA (Capture 10 of each fiend, defeat all MA creations) - Common Steal for 1 Key

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Finishing the Capturing=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Now finish getting 10 of each fiend all the areas:

Sunken Cave Mt. Gagazet Inside Sin Omega Ruins

With your Strength and Agility filed from the Sphere Grid's initial nodes, you should have more than enough power to deal 9999 constantly. The only enemies that seem that you can't get 9999 easily are probably the Black Element of

and one of the Mimics, both from the Omega Ruins. To be on the safe side, it is advisable to have Auto-Phoenix armor.

Another thing that you might some preparation for is for Great Malboro of Inside Sin/Omega Ruins. Go to Luca, go the counter, talk to the buy that sells the equipment. Buy 1/2 Lucid Armors for your capture party members. They cost 6,150, but you do need them. Equip them when you know that they can appear (Inside Sin, second half). Even with First Strike on, Great Malboro still proves as a threat, so that's where the Lucid armor comes in.

NOTE: Sunken Cave = Even though people claim that you can only find Tonberries in on the second half of the cave, that's not fully true. You can find them any

where in the Sunken Cave. Most of mine was from the 1st teleport room. Nidhogg and Imp is also apart of Mt. Gagazet Trails. Epaaj is outside the Sunkens Caves (near Save Sphere) Mt. Gagazet = Divided into 2 parts, the land and the water. Some of of the enemies on the second half (caves) can be found in Zanarkand Ruins and Inside Sin as well. Inside Sin - The area is divided into 2 areas. The area before the fight with Omnis and the area after. Floating Death and Exoray for the 1st area, Barbatos, Wraith, everyone else for the 2nd area. There are types of Iron Giants in here, you'll need to capture 10 of each of them because they aren't the same entity. Omega Ruins = Get all your capturing done while being close to the Save Sphere. Encounter rates are equal from just about everywhere in that place.

I think Great Malboro appears more frequently in this place, so it's better to equip the Lucid armors here.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Pre-Maxing Stats=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=



Like I already told you, have 2 people go around the entire sphere grid to activate all nodes associated with STR and AGL. The next step is trying to organize it so that everyone else that's trying to gain better stats follow a similiar trend. So have the following characters, doesn't matter if they are the 2 people that you've already increased their STR and AGL or not, move to a corner of the sphere grid:

Rikku Auron Wakka Yuna Tidus

Personally, I picked the upperleft. Now decide on one direction. That direction will be how you're going to leave your trail of +4 Stats Nodes. If you're planning to use Clear Spheres, keep on talking to the Owner to have him constantly unlock all the creations, which will lead to unlocking Ultima Buster and then giving you the option of buying Clear Spheres from him. Hopefully you've obtained Level 2 AP Weapons for the following people listed above, so this won't be a problem.

NOTE: Trail of +4 Nodes = Stat Increase Route

Rikku's Celestial has already been obtained. If Auron was your second person to have traveled the sphere grid get his Celestial; if it was Yuna or Tidus, the same thing applies to them. You'll have to get Wakka's Celestial regardless. If you are playing the International/PAL version, Tidus' Celestial, the Calablog, is need, regardless. And when I say Celestial,

I mean the real thing fully powered up.

Hopefully, you have Rikku, Tidus, and Wakka learn the Overdrive Mode Victor already. Now you'll have to make Tidus learn Loner. If you got the Yellow Shield (which Nulls Lightning Base attacks), this will be easy. Go to the Thunder Plains. Get into a battle with a Gold Element. Kill off everything except for the Gold Element. Haste Tidus, Slow Gold Element (if you can, but it's not required), and then constantly use defend until Loner is learned. Larva works as well, same with Yellow Element.

The last preparation needed is for you to get Wakka's Attack Reels Overdrive and Tidus' Slice and Dice. You did remember to get Anima right? If yes, good.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Maxing Stats=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Now with most of every essential Monster Arena Creation unlocked, we can now begin the Stat Maxing phase. For speed/convience purposes, there is a certain way to finish this process. However, since there is the NA Way and the Dark Aeon Way, I'll seperate them.

The NA Way: The Dark Aeon Way:

1) Strength (Juggernaut) 1) Strength (Juggernaut) 2) Defense (Tanket) 2) Defense (Tanket) 3) Magic Defense (One-Eye) 3) Magic Defense (One-Eye) 4) Agility (Fenrir) 4) Agility (Fenrir) 5) Magic (Jumbo Flan) 5) Magic (Jumbo Flan) 6) Accuracy (Hornet) 6) Luck (Greater Sphere) 7) Evasion (Pteryx) 7) Fortune Sphere (Earth Eater)

Extras for both Ways: MP) Vidatu



HP) Ironclad

For both Ways, the part that starts to differ from step 6. So I will do the NA Way first, then continue with the Dark Aeon way start from step 6.

For the weapon of choice use Celestials.

For the armor, we take the 4-Slotted Armor that you brought from Wantz at Macalania and hopefully you've given it Auto-Phoenix already. You'll need to add 2 more abilities to it for the whole Monster Arena process, so the whole armor that you'll be using for the Stat Maxing Process would look like this:

Auto-Phoenix Auto-Haste Auto-Protect (Empty Slot)

Auto-Haste: 480,000 Gil is how much is needed (estimated) to get it onto one armor. Bribe Machea of Omega Ruins for 360,000 Gil for 60. 80 is needed for the customization.

Auto-Protect: You'll need to Overkill Fafnir of the Monster Arena under Species Creations twice. Each Overkill will give you 40 Light Curtains, and 70 is needed for the Customization. 12 hits of 99999 is needed, so you'll need to have a minimum strength of 146. Having a high agility is recommended. Generally: = Have Auto-Phoenix and Auto-Haste, and keep on using Quick Attack

NOTE: At one point in the game, Slaying Fafnir is easy since he won't be able to get a second turn.

NOTE: For both Ways, it's normal to use the Stats Sphere once you've obtained it, but if you're trying to do the bare minimum, you'll have to count the number you have used and how many more you need.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The NA Way------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Strength - Juggernaut With all the STR nodes filled on the sphere grid and by the fact that you

are using celestials for every single Monster Arena Creation battles, you'll be dealing 99999 each time. 13 attacks of 99999 is what is needed to Overkill Juggernaut. However, you can the same effect with 146 Strength.

2) Defense - Tanket With the same strength as before, it will take 10 hits to finish this guy off. It's advisable that you give the whole party the armors with all 3-Autos from this point on.

3) Magic Defense - One-Eye If you've already been trying to hunt for your Level 2 AP Weapon, this won't be an issue. It would take 2 hits to overkill this guy. If you've constantly slayed him before, go to the next part. If you haven't, then

you'll have to be lucky. First Strike, Inititive, Luck, etc...

4) Agility - Fenrir Without high accuracy, it's hard to hit Fenrir with regular physical attacks. However, that isn't the case when it comes to Overdrives. Overdrives can't miss ever. Have Wakka take the "Stat Increase Route" and he'll need at least 157 Strength. Set his Overdrive Mode to Victor. I assume that you have Attacks Reels and World Champion.

1. Besaid -> Dingo - Kill it



2. Besaid -> Dingo - Kill it 3. Species Creation - Fenrir - Attacks Reels Note: You need to hit 2 - 2 - 2 for a perfect Attack Reels. However, if you can't do this quickly, get 2's on the first two reels, and then let time run out. The third Reel will automatically stop at 2, thus creating the perfect Attack Reels. 4. Repeat step 2 and 3 constantly, etc...

5) Magic - Jumbo Flan This will be rather long to explain, but no biggie. You'll be having Anima take him down. However, you'll need to have her learn the following abilities:

Haste: 10 Chocobo Feathers. If you have unlocked Fenrir, don't worry. Steal from Qactuar or Cactuar in other ways.

Shell: 4 Lunar Curtains. If you have unlocked Abadon, don't worry. Steal from Larva or even Jumbo Flan himself for a quickie.

Reflect: 3 Star Curtains. If you have unlocked Nega Elemental, don't worry. Steal from Dark Flan (Gagazet) or Barbatos (Inside Sin).

Slow: 4 Silver Hourglass. If you have unlocked Don Tonberry, don't worry. Bribe Vouivre (Mi'hien) for 5,100 Gil for 10 fast ones.

Dispel: 3 Purifying Salt. If you have unlocked Fafnir, don't worry. Common Steal from Abaddon, Rare Steal from Fallen Monk (Z. Ruins)

NOTE: Belgemine's Aeon could be another option to get most of this, but it strays off from the Monster Arena, which isn't convenient.

On top of that, have her take the "Stat Increase Route." So that Anima herself will have better stats against Jumbo Flan. I suggest that Anima has a Magic Defense of at least 200 and at least 137 for Magic.

Okay, now about the strategy. The firs thing that you do is summon Anima. If you can't do that off the bat, have someone else have First Strike on,

and Yuna not in the starting party. Switch the First Striker for Yuna.

After you've summon Anima, do the following in this order: 1. Haste -> Anima 2. Shell -> Anima 3. Reflect -> Anima 4. Slow -> Anima ; It will bounce off due to reflect and hit Jumbo Flan.

After that, keep on having Anima use Pain on Jumbo Flan. Keep on using Pain. If by any chance Jumbo Flan gets Regen on himself, cast Dispel to destroy it. Hopefully you can kill Jumbo Flan before Anima runs out of HP. If that happens, you might need to teach Anima Cura/Curaga/Regen. In the long run, after each succesful battle, use the Magic Spheres and

activate them on the sphere grid, with Yuna at least.

NOTE: This has been proven as the fastest way to constantly defeat J. Flan. The other method is done by having 3 characters learn Copycat, and 1 of them learn Flare/Ultima with Doublecast. Use a Doublecasted Flare/Ultima, and then have everyone constantly use Copycat. The reason I didn't pick this is because of the amount of time needed to get this for everyone and that it's slower when trying to kill Jumbo Flan. If you don't like my method, feel free to use this one.



6) Accuracy - Hornet You could use the method used on defeating Fenrir, but that may be a waste of time. So it's best that you just keep on using regular attacks to finish it off quickly. You do have a high enough Agility now.

7) Evasion - Pteryx The same thing can said while against Pteryx as well. If you have used all the Accuracy Spheres that you've obtained from Hornet, this guy will be fairly easy as well.

NOTE: Another way to do this, is by a different order: Strength, Defense, Magic Defense, Accuracy, Agility, Magic, Evasion. The only thing different as of terms of strategy is that you won't need Wakka's Attack Reels against Fenrir, just regular attack will do.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dark Aeon Way------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Starting off from NA Way's step 6. The only reason that you don't want Accuracy and Evasion is that it be replaced with Luck.

255 Luck = 255 Accuracy + 255 Evasion

Having 255 Luck + 255 Accuracy isn't needed because you can basically hit anything with 255 Luck alone and it will do critical.

Having 255 Luck + 255 Evasion isn't needed because the higher level bosses can hit you regardless of these stats. Yet, it's advisable to keep at least 30 Evasion so that you can Evade all of Dark Ixion's physical attacks.

6) Luck - Greater Sphere I will have to assume that you have Tidus and Wakka having 180 Strength with at least 110 Agility. Tidus knows Slice and Dice and Wakka has Attack Reels, and both using their Celestial Weapons fully powered up. Set both of them with the Overdrive Mode Victor. The third member doesn't matter.

1. Besaid -> Dingo - Kill it 2. Besaid -> Dingo - Kill it 3. Original - Greater Sphere 1. Slice & Dice (or Attack Reels), GS counters with Hydraulic Press 2. Slice & Dice (or Attack Reels), GS is defeated. 4. Repeat step 2 and 3 constantly.

Note: Slice and Dice must be successful. Successful = 6 Hits Attack Reels must be perfect. Perfect = 12 hits. Refer to the method used against Fenrir in the NA Way section.

7) Fortune Sphere - Earth Eater

Against this guy, I want your Tidus to have 255 Strength and 255 Magic Defense. I'd assume that he has Slice and Dice. Set his Overdrive Mode to Loner. There is a thing I like to call the Earth Eater armor, but it's not totally required:

Auto-Haste Auto-Protect Auto-Shell Magic Defense +%

1. Except for Tidus, have everyone else Escape the battle. In the meantime have Tidus constantly use defend until he's the only one left. 2. After each turn, if Tidus is by himself, his OD bar will charge. Once



you get a full OD bar, use a *Successful* Slice and Dice. Earth Eater will now full on his back. 3. Defend two times and you'll get another OD bar filled, use Slice and Dice again. Earth Eater will counter with Flare. 4. Repeat Step 3 until Earth Eater is defeated. 5. Talk to the Save Sphere to get healed. 6. Repeat Steps 1 through Step 6.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Extras for Both Ways------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8) MP - Vidatu Nothing special. With the same strength for Juggernaut, it takes 1 hit to kill this guy.

9) HP - Ironclad Rikku with two others that have Celestials and the needed strength to deal 99999. All party members must have the Monster Arena armor. Set Rikku's Overdrive Mode to Victor. Move Power Spheres to the top of your Item List.

1. Besaid -> Dingo - Kill it 2. Besaid -> Dingo - Kill it 3. Rikku, Mix 2 Power Spheres to get Frag Grenade

4. Constantly have everyone use Quick Attack until Ironclad is defeated. 5. Repeat steps 2 to step 4 constantly.

NOTE: This is proven to be the fastest method. Faster than using Overdrives alone. Yet if you were to constantly use quick and perfect Attack Reels with Entrust on the side, that will be faster, but it won't be efficient.
