LATEST UPDATES - G0300 - ALPHA02 ============================================================================= P=========L===================E=========T=========T=========M=========L====== - Cool Rikku Version (27th February 2011) # Polishing the guide. ============================================================================= ============================================================================= 04.) INTRODUCTION - G0400 ============================================================================= Y=========O===================T=========W=========H=========I=========A====== Hello! I am Damir Kolar and I welcome you to my new project. Once again I have decided to write for a Final Fantasy game - more specifically a guide to Final Fantasy X-2, a sequel to highly successful Final Fantasy X. The day was 11th September 2003. It was then when I created this guide - on that day first lines of the guide have been added and walkthrough started. What you're looking at today is the result of that work. Now, allow me to address some things: - If you take a quick scan thru my guide, you won't find 100% completion checkpoints anywhere. I was thinking about including it, but in the end decided against it. Why bother with % checkpoints anyway? If you have downloaded this guide and are following it by the letter, then I guarantee you'll get 100% in the end in *single* playthrough, provided you follow the selections I make. - If, on the other hand, you've downloaded my guide, but are disappointed not to see % checks, then crossreference my guide with other guides, that do include this feature. You now have twice the insurance that 100% will be yours in the end. Are you ready? Power up your PS2, open the disc tray, pop in FFX-2 DVD, close the disc tray, wait for starting credits (or press Start to skip), then select New Game. The journey continues... =============================================================================== ___ ___ _ _ _ _____ ___ ___ _ _ ___ | \ / _ \| \| | /_\_ _|_ _/ _ \| \| / __| | |) | (_) | .` |/ _ \| | | | (_) | .` \__ \ |___/ \___/|_|\_/_/ \_\_| |___\___/|_|\_|___/ =============================================================================== If you found the guide useful and would like to support me in future endeavours of covering the titles you enjoy playing, then perhaps you would like to consider making a donation.

MEET THE GIRLS! - G0600 ============================================================================= I=========G=============================R=========R========================== Main issues addressed in this section are: ============================================================================= Yuna's background information ----------------------------------------- G0601 Rikku's background information ---------------------------------------- G0602 Paine's background information ---------------------------------------- G0603 ============================================================================= Yello. In this short section I'll list down some of background information regarding three gals whose actions and decisions you'll be in total control of. Without too much blah blah let's begin! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YUNA - G0601 | AGE: 19 | JOINS: Halfway thru storyline mission 1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- BACKGROUND | Daughter of high summoner Braska, the second-to-last summoner who was able to defeat Sin 12 years ago. Like her father, she has made an amazing deed of defeating Sin 2 years ago, only this time Sin is gone for good. With the disappearance of Sin summoners no longer needed to be sacrificed in order for people of Spira to live in peace - therefore aeons (or fayth) were no longer needed as well. Following Sin's defeat Yuna now throws away summoner job - she has chosen more advanced form of artillery... dual guns! She joins forces with Rikku and Paine to form YRP, a group of sphere hunters. Of course, they're not the only group of sphere hunters on the face of Spira. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- RIKKU - G0602 | AGE: 17 | JOINS: She's present from the beginning ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- BACKGROUND | Daughter of Cid (leader of the Al Bhed people from Final Fantasy X) and Yuna's relative. Her cheerful and happy attitude is sure to keep you entertained for the whole game. Youngest gal of the bunch, but by no means the weakest, her weapons of choice are dual knives. And dual knives are usually weapons of thieves... yep, you guessed it, our sweet Rikku is a thief (like that's something new, hehe). She's the second member of YRP group. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- PAINE - G0603 | AGE: 18 | JOINS: She's present from the beginning ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- BACKGROUND | Unlike Yuna and Rikku, Paine is a new character. I won't reveal too much information about her background, because it is heavily tied to the story of FFX-2, so you'll need to find out for yourself. She forms third and final chain of YRP group. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================= ============================================================================= 07.) CONTROL BASICS - G0700 ============================================================================= G=========S=============================K=========I========================== Main issues addressed in this section are: ============================================================================= Basic control explanations -------------------------------------------- G0701 Battle screen controls ------------------------------------------------ G0702 Field screen controls ------------------------------------------------- G0703 Menu screen controls -------------------------------------------------- G0704 Shop screen controls -------------------------------------------------- G0705 ============================================================================= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------- A - BASIC CONTROL EXPLANATIONS - G0701 ------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'll get you started by explaining what are the controls you'll be using when playing the game. There are four distinctive control modes you'll have to get used to. These are battle screen controls (inside random or boss battle), field screen controls (when walking about), main menu screen controls (when inside many menus, accessible with triangle button) and shop controls. May be hard for a start, but you'll get a grasp of it in ten minutes. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- --------------------- B - BATTLE SCREEN CONTROLS - G0702 -------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Up/down dir.b. - move cursor Left analog stick - move cursor, change between command sets Left/right dir.b. - change between command sets Right analog stick - not used X button - confirm selection, advance to next selection Circle button - cancel selection, return to previous selection Triangle button - skips girl's turn and selects next girl Square button - used in Scan screen L1 button - switches between Dress Up and MCW on girl's turn L2 button - not used R1 button - allows Special Dress Up when requirements are met; is used during gunner's Trigger Happy attack R2 button - not used Start button - pauses the game (disabled during certain scenes) Select button - not used -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- --------------------- C - FIELD SCREEN CONTROLS - G0703 --------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Direct. buttons - move character about Left analog stick - move character about Right analog stick - not used X button - confirm selection, advance to next sel., talk, examine Circle button - cancel selection, return to previous sel. Triangle button - enter main menu Square button - press near people to activate selections (this function is available only during certain missions!) L1 button - used in some minigames L2 button - used in some minigames R1 button - used in some minigames R2 button - used in some minigames Start button - pause the game (disabled during some scenes) Select button - not used -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ---------------------- D - MENU SCREEN CONTROLS - G0704 --------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Direct. buttons - move cursor Left analog stick - move cursor Right analog stick - not used X button - confirm selection, advance to next selection Circle button - cancel selection, return to previous selection Triangle button - used in GG menu Square button - not used L1 button - switch characters L2 button - scroll menu list upward (or backward) R1 button - switch characters R2 button - scroll menu list downward (or forward) Start button - not used Select button - not used -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ---------------------- E - SHOP SCREEN CONTROLS - G0705 --------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Direct. buttons - move cursor* Left analog stick - move cursor* Right analog stick - not used X button - confirm selection, advance to next selection Circle button - cancel selection, return to previous selection Triangle button - not used Square button - not used L1 button - not used L2 button - scroll menu list upward (or backward) R1 button - not used R2 button - scroll menu list downward (or forward) Start button - not used Select button - not used * When buying desired item, pressing right increases amount of item bought by 1 unit, while pressing up increases the amount by 10 units. Likewise, pressing left decreases the amount by 1, and down by 10 units. This is a fast way of buying items in lots of quantities. Finally, pressing L1, L2, R1, R2, Select and Start buttons all together performs soft reset and returns you to start up menu. Soft reset is disabled during certain sequences and during battle animations. ============================================================================= ============================================================================= 08.) MAIN MENU - G0800 ============================================================================= H=======================================S=========S========================== Main issues addressed in this section are: ============================================================================= General info about main menu ------------------------------------------ G0801 Main menu - Items heading --------------------------------------------- G0802 Main menu - White magic heading --------------------------------------- G0803 Main menu - Equip heading --------------------------------------------- G0804 Main menu - Garment Grids (or Result Plate) heading ------------------- G0805 Main menu - Abilities heading ----------------------------------------- G0806 Main menu - Accessories heading --------------------------------------- G0807 Main menu - Dresspheres heading --------------------------------------- G0808 Main menu - Config heading -------------------------------------------- G0809 ============================================================================= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------ A - GENERAL INFO ABOUT MAIN MENU - G0801 ----------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 1. Access the menu by pressing Triangle button anytime when on Field screen. 2. In top row help line is displayed, showing information on what does selected part of Triangle menu do (there's eight headings total). 3. Covering most of central right part girls' data is displayed, containing info on girl's name, current level, current / MAX HP, current / MAX MP, dressphere girl is equipped with and any possible negative statuses that linger after battle (such as poison or KO). 4. Covering left third of the screen are eight menu headings. These are explained in deeper depths a bit below. 5. On rock bottom you'll find time you've played FFX-2 so far, amount of Gil and your current location (also shown on globe of Spira). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------ B - MAIN MENU - ITEMS HEADING - G0802 -------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- You'll spend quite a bit of time with one of your best friends, the items. What follows is explanation of this menu... 1. The top of the screen is reserved for help line that tells you what a selected item does when used or what are its effects in battle. 2. Below help line is a line with three commands: USE: Let's you use items in your inventory. Note that only a fraction of items is usable, ie those that restore HP and MP and negative status changes - items that cannot be used are greyed out. To use say Potion, place the cursor on it and press X. A small window with pics of three gals pops, for each showing current/max HP and MP. Select gal you want to use Potion on and press Circle to complete the healing. Reapply as necessary, and press Circle to exit this submenu. SORT: Let's you sort out items in your inventory, either Auto or Manual. By selecting Auto items will be arranged automatically, and by selecting Manual you're in the control. Place the cursor on the item you wish to put somewhere else and press X. Blinking cursor will appear near first selected item. What you do now is position another cursor at the second item. When X is pressed again, these two items will switch places. Note: The order in which items are arranged also affects order of items when accessed in battles. KEY ITEMS: Here all you can do is view key items you've acquired so far. 3. Lastly, most of the rest of the screen is reserved for items you currently possess; first a name of the item, followed by the amount of that particular item. You can hold a maximum of 99 units of one type of item. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ---------------- C - MAIN MENU - WHITE MAGIC HEADING - G0803 ---------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This will also be one of your most used menus. Use this menu to heal, revive or otherwise aid your girls when your MP is shooting thru the roof or you lack the appropriate items. 1. First step in understanding white magic menu is to select a girl you wish to employ for healing. Note that once you obtain white mage DSP, all three girls gain access to Cure. However, you must equip white mage DSP on the girls in order to have them learn additional white magics. One more precaution is to be noted here: if say Yuna learns Curaga, only Yuna will be able to use Curaga in white magic menu! Curaga will not be accessible to Rikku or Paine, simply cos they need to learn it first. 2. When you select the gal you wish to toy with, take a look at the top of the screen - there a help line that tells you what a selected white magic does when used (Cure, Cura, Curaga etc.) or what are its effects in battle (Protect, Shell, Reflect etc.) resides. 3. Below help line a pic of selected gal with her basic info is displayed. 4. And finally, the big list of all white magics selected girl has learned so far by training faithfully in white mage DSP. Read point 1 of this heading to learn how to increase amount of white magics available. Only magics that are displayed in white can be used - those greyed out cannot be used outside battle. 5. Once you've decided on which white magic you want to use, place the cursor on it and press X. A small window with pics of three gals, for each showing current/max HP and MP. Select gal you want to use white magic on and press X to complete the healing. Reapply as necessary, and press Circle to exit this submenu. 6. You may switch between girls by pressing L1/R1. 7. You won't be able to use White Magic with a certain girl if she doesn't have enough MP, is petrified, KO-ed or silenced. Cure relevant status first, then you will be able to cast magic in this menu. 8. It isn't necessary to have a girl equipped with white mage DSP in order to use white magic. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------- D - MAIN MENU - EQUIP HEADING - G0804 ------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Another of most used menus, if not *the* most. Use this menu to properly equip the girls with GG, DSP and two acc. At the same time you will be able to view any and all changes done to girl's statistics, main command window (a battle term explained below) and auto-abilities girl will gain. 1. First step in mastering equipment menu is to select a girl for equipping. 2. You're sure used to it now, aren't you? Help line at the top, I mean. 3. In top right corner you will always see basic info on selected girl (basic info containing name, current level, current / MAX HP, current / MAX MP, DSP girl is equipped with and any possible negative statuses that linger after battle (such as poison or KO). 4. Below selected girl's basic info you'll find her stats, MCW commands and AAB that girl has been bestowed with as a result of already equipped acc. 5. Garment Grid (or Result Plate) entry is displayed below help line. It tells you what GG selected girl is currently using. Only one GG can be equipped at a time! If you wish to change GG being used, press X when cursor is hovering over GG entry. 6. You'll be taken to GG submenu. In bottom left corner a list of all GGs you obtained so far will be displayed. Move thru the list with up/down, or press L2/R2 to scroll thru the list. When desired GG is chosen, press X to equip that particular GG. Note that you can only choose GG into which you have inserted at least one DSP. GG without inserted DSP will be greyed out and cannot be equipped (read Garment Grid heading below for more info on how you insert DSP!). 7. While you're choosing GG, pay attention to the right of the screen - an overview of currently pointed-at-GG is displayed, along with information on that GG displayed below. For more info on GG read Garment Grid heading below. Finally, when GG is equipped, you'll be prompted to select one of DSP inserted into lastly selected GG. Press X and equipping GG is done. 8. Dressphere entry is used to change jobs for the girl. If you wish to change job being used, press X when cursor is hovering over DSP entry. You'll be taken to an overview of GG currently equipped - it will also display all DSP inserted into that GG. Move the cursor about and press X to change the job or Circle to cancel. 9. Pay attention to girl's stats and MCW. Many of the jobs drastically change stats and may add new commands to girl's MCW - of course, it may also delete or replace them, so be careful. In case of stats, this is what you need to look out for: - stats that will increase after job change are displayed in blue - stats that will decrease after job change are displayed in red 10. Accessory entry is used to change accessories equipped on the girl. If you wish to change acc being used, press X when cursor is hovering over acc entry. 11. You'll be taken to a list of all acc you have acquired so far - this list is located in bottom left corner. Move thru the list with up/down, or press L2/R2 to scroll thru the list. When desired acc is chosen, press X to equip that particular acc. Note that you can only equip up to two acc! You will notice sometimes greyed out acc at the bottom of the list - nothing worrying about that, because those are acc equipped by other two girls. 12. Pay attention to girl's stats, MCW and AAB. Many acc drastically change stats and may add new commands to girl's MCW. In addition, some acc also possess innate AAB, which will take effect as soon as relevant acc is equipped. To repeat the teaching on stat changes: - stats that will increase after acc is equipped are displayed in blue - stats that will decrease after acc is equipped are displayed in red Note that bottom choice in acc list removes the acc equipped. 13. Then we have 10 statistics girls can have fun with. These are: HP - Stands for Hit Points. Shown are two numbers: first is current HP, second is MAX HP. If first number is depleted to 0, girl is KO-ed and can no longer participate in battle unless revived. Higher HP means that girls can last longer in battle. MP - Stands for Magic Points. Shown are two numbers: first is current MP, second is MAX MP. If first number is depleted to 0, girl cannot use any type of abilities that consume MP. More MP means more showtime in battle. STR - Stands for Strength. It affects amount of physical damage girl can deal to enemies. Higher STR is, more damage girl does. DEF - Stands for Defense. It affects girl's resistance to any type of physical attacks. Please note that there are PATK that ignore DEF stat. Higher DEF is, less damage girl receives from PATK. MAG - Stands for Magic Power. It affects amount of magical damage girl can do to enemies, as well as potency of healing-type abilities. Higher MAG is, more magic damage girl does. MDEF - Stands for Magic Defense. It affects girl's resistance to any type of magical attacks. Please note that there are MATK that ignore MDEF stat. Higher MDEF is, less damage girl receives from MATK. AGL - Stands for Agility. It affects girl's ATB filling rate and length of ATB bar. Higher AGL is, shorter ATB bar is and it fills faster. ACCU - Stands for Accuracy. It affects girl's ability to successfully strike foes with any type of physical attacks. Higher ACCU is, more successful girl is when hitting enemies. EVA - Stands for Evasion. It affects girl's probability of evading any type of physical attacks launched by foes. Higher EVA is, more skilled girl is at dodging. Please note that there are PATK which cannot be evaded at all. LUCK - Stands for Luck. It affects: girl's probability of successfully striking the enemy, girl's probability of successfully dodging PATK launched by enemies and girl's probability of landing critical hits. LUCK affects only these three aspects and *nothing else*. Battle spoils, items stolen during battle and/or anything else is not affected by gameplay luck. 14. HP can go as high as 99999. MP can go as high as 999. For the eight remaining stats max value is 255. 15. In lower left corner another piece of important info is hiding - it shows girl's current EXP and how many EXP is needed before girl reaches next level. 14. You may switch between girls by pressing L1/R1. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------ E - MAIN MENU - GARMENT GRIDS (or Result Plate) HEADING - G0805 ------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Pressing X on this menu will immediately launch you into GG submenu. Use it to view GG you've obtained so far, learn important information on GG's effects when equipped, to insert DSP into GG or to just have fun. 1. The helpful help line on the top is always there. 2. On the left a list of all GG you obtained so far is displayed. Move thru the list with up/down, or press L2/R2 to scroll thru the list. Note how there are varying amount of empty slots and strange symbols on every GG you view? Empty slots are called NODES, whereas strange symbols are referred to as GATES. 3. You use nodes to insert DSP into them. Gates grant special properties to the girl when girl passes thru the gate as a result of dresschange (I'll discuss special properties stuff in Battle System entry of the guide). Once you select GG you wish to rearrange, press X and DSP list will appear, containing all DSP you've found so far (if GG in question is already being equipped on one of the girls, you'll get a warning asking you if you really wish to continue - select yes to proceed or no to cancel). 4. Move thru DSP list with up/down, or press L2/R2 to scroll thru the list. Press X at desired DSP you wish to insert into GG - now cursor jumps at one of the available nodes. Set DSP with X, cancel selection with Circle, or remove already inserted DSP with Triangle. 5. At the bottom of DSP list three commands are awaiting (ALPHA1001): AUTO - will automatically fill up GG with appropriate combination of available DSP REARRANGE - allows you to manually switch DSP's places on GG: place the cursor on DSP you wish to put somewhere else and press X; blinking cursor will appear near first selected DSP - what you do now is position another cursor at the second DSP; when X is pressed again, these two DSP will switch places REMOVE ALL - automatically removes all DSP inserted into GG Once you're done inserting DSP, press Circle to leave this submenu. Now continue inserting DSP into other GG or press Circle again to return to main menu. 6. Right half of the screen shows how does GG look like. Below information about GG is displayed - this info tells you what are the effects of GG when it is equipped and what benefits do girls gain if during Dress Up they pass thru one of the gates. More detailed info on this aspect will be listed in Battle System entry of this guide. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ----------- F - MAIN MENU - ABILITIES HEADING - G0806 - ALPHA1003 ----------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Use this menu to check up on abilities girls are learning. Each DSP has a unique set of abilities that can be learned. Although abilities follow a set learning pattern, it is not always the best one, therefore it is in your best interest that you check this menu often and set abilities to be learned. 1. First step in mastering abilities menu is to select a girl, whose abilities you wish to tamper with. 2. Help line at the top, anyone? 3. In top right corner you will always see basic info on selected girl (basic info containing name, current level, current / MAX HP, current / MAX MP, dressphere girl is equipped with and any possible negative statuses that linger after battle (such as poison or KO). 4. Below selected girl's basic info you'll find her stats, MCW commands and AAB that girl has been bestowed with as a result of already equipped acc. This part of information is gone while you're selecting abilities to be learned. 5. DSP list is displayed below help line. It displays all DSP you've obtained so far - at the bottom of this list you may find DSP with unique icon, which is unique to the girl in question. This is a SDSP - each of the girls has one. For example, Yuna's SDSP is called Floral Fallal, while Rikku's is Machina Maw. Abilities on SDSP are also unique to the girl in question. 6. Now that we've established a connection, let's explain what do % numbers next to DSP mean. For example, let's choose Yuna. Her gunner DSP has 5%, whilst warrior DSP has 50%. What does that tell you? In short, it tells you percentage of mastery for that particular DSP. In example above, we see that Yuna has mastered only 5% of gunner DSP (meaning she learned few abilities), whereas she has 50% mastery over warrior (meaning she learned a lot of abilities). 7. Once all abilities for certain DSP are learned, a 'MASTER' sign will appear to the right of DSP's name, meaning that say Yuna has mastered that particular DSP. 8. Let's learn how to set abilities for learning, shall we? First select DSP you wish to toy with - you'll be taken to a list of abilities for that DSP. As a rule of thumb, some abilities are already learned when you obtain new DSP. Let's use an example - Yuna's songstress DSP will have Darkness Dance ability already learned. You will see that Sleepy Shuffle ability is being learned next. But let's say we don't like Sleepy Shuffle to be learned next, we would like Battle Cry. So what do you do? 9. Simply move the cursor using directionals or left stick and place it on Support Song, then press X to finish the preparation. From now on, any AP gained in battle will go into learning Battle Cry. 10. Be advised of the following: if Yuna is in battle as songstress, she will be learning abilities specific to songstress DSP only! If you wish to learn say one of samurai's abilities, Yuna must transform into samurai. 11. AP gained, you ask? See some numbers next to the abilities names? Let's use an example again, shall we? Example: Battle Cry - 0 / 10 As you see, name of the ability is followed by two numbers. Second number denotes amount of AP needed before ability is learned. First number denotes amount of AP gained so far - once the AP requirement is met, ability is learned and can be used in battle. 12. How are AP obtained? In a variety of ways... by using skills a specific DSP offers (Attack command doesn't count), using an item, killing an enemy, or using some unique skills offered by acc/GG. Oddly enough, there are some exceptions to the rule: - using Machina Maw's Attack command nets 1 AP when used - Floral's Great Whirl nets 3 AP for using it - using Machina Maw's Shockwave command nets 2 AP when used - Machina Maw's Shockstorm command awards 2 AP when used - Machina Maw's Vajra attack awards 3 AP when used - Nab Gil / Mug commands ALWAYS award 1 AP when used, even if unsuccessful - Floral Fallal's Flare Whirl awards 2 AP when used 13. NO AP is awarded if one of following events happens: - special effect did not work (say you were trying to poison a fiend) - HP and/or MP were healed, but bar was already full - stealing attempt failed - attack used didn't cause any damage - chr's status wasn't cured - you use Attack command (sole exception mentioned above) 14. How come some abilities aren't displayed? There are two reasons for that. - You must learn some prerequisite abilities first. For example, Yuna's Trigger Happy Lv3 will not appear for learning until you have learned Trigger Happy Lv2. - You must obtain a special item before certain ability is enabled for a job. 15. While you're selecting job to be tampered with, you may switch between girls with R1/L1. While you're selecting abilities to be learned, you may switch between DSP with L1/R1. 16. Once the ability accumulates predetermined amount of AP in order to be learned, the two numbers are replaced with a MASTER sign - meaning you've mastered that ability and can now use it in battle. 17. There's one more major difference you must be aware of - distinguishing between active and passive abilities. ACTIVE ABILITIES - Active abilities are abilities you can choose from when inside battles. Once an ACTA is selected, and CTIM (if it's necessary) is full, ACTA will be executed. Example of two ACTA: Cura and Protect abilities of white mage. PASSIVE ABILITIES - Passive abilities are abilities that are always in effect. You don't have to choose them - well, you aren't able to - they work automatically as soon as DSP is equipped. Example of two PASA: Slowproof and Stopproof abilities of thief DSP. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ---------------- G - MAIN MENU - ACCESSORIES HEADING - G0807 ---------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This will be a real easy one to handle. Once you select Accessories, you'll be taken to gigantic list of all acc you've obtained so far. 1. Help line at the top, anyone? 2. Then you'll see two commands displayed. MANUAL - Let's you sort out items in your inventory. Place the cursor on the acc you wish to put somewhere else and press X. Blinking cursor will appear near first selected acc. What you do now is position another cursor at the second acc. When X is pressed again, these two acc will switch places. AUTO - Acc will be arranged automatically. 3. When satisfied with arrangement, back out by pressing Circle. 4. You can hold a maximum of 99 units of one type of acc. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ---------------- H - MAIN MENU - DRESSPHERESS HEADING - G0808 --------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Easy as pie again (sighs in relief). What do you do here anyway? Not much, except read some information on DSP you've acquired so far (ignores help line on top). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------- I - MAIN MENU - CONFIG HEADING - G0809 ------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- In here you may toy around with 10 different aspects of gameplay (ignores help line on top yet again). 1. First entry gets to deal around with Spherechanges sequences. By choosing leftmost option you will always view full transformation, by selecting middle you will only see second part of transformation, and selecting rightmost will show quickest Dress Up you ever saw (please note that transformations you get to see for the first time are viewed in their full glory, and are then shortened). 2. Second entry deals with ATB. You may select Active ATB (time ticks even when you're choosing items to be used, magic to be cast, enemy to be attacked etc.) or Wait ATB (time is stopped while you're choosing items to be used, magic to be cast, enemy to be attacked etc.). For starters I recommend choosing Wait ATB. 3. Third one dictates the speed of ATB bar, from slowest (leftmost choice) to fastest (rightmost choice). 4. Fourth entry applies to cursor - Memory setting will leave the cursor hanging near last command used, while Reset will always point the cursor at first command in girls' MCW. 5. Fifth one turns help line in battles on/off. I suggest leaving it on, for it may happen that you forget what does a particular item do. Or you may forget what does the ability you want to use do. 6. Sixth one dictates your vibration settings, which you can turn on or off... kinky, hehehe. If you're an avid player (like myself), turn vibration off - otherwise your hands will be hurting in the long run. 7. Seventh option turns subtitles during convos on/off. 8. Eighth option turns name subtitles during conversations on/off. 9. Ninth option turns minimap, which is displayed when walking around field screen, on/off. IMO you should always leave this on - it shows your current direction and your whereabouts. 10. Tenth option lets you choose between stereo/mono sound. 11. Final option allows you to change screen position by pressing and holding Square and using directionals or left stick to move the screen. ============================================================================= ============================================================================= 09.) BATTLE SYSTEM - G0900 ============================================================================= T============================================================================ Main issues addressed in this section are: ============================================================================= Battle preparations ----------- G0901 | Battle start ------------------ G0902 Main command window ----------- G0903 | Sub command window ------------ G0904 ATB bar / window -------------- G0905 | Character bar ----------------- G0906 Battle tips & tricks ---------- G0907 | Distance effect --------------- G0908 Range effect ------------------ G0909 | Effect of the 'arc' ----------- G0910 Hit the front or behind? ------ G0911 | Chaining ---------------------- G0912 Active / Wait atb mode -------- G0913 | Green / white numbers --------- G0914 Elemental properties ---------- G0915 | Battle end -------------------- G0916 Post-battle info -------------- G0917 | ============================================================================= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ---------------------- A - BATTLE PREPARATIONS - G0901 ---------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 1. Equip your girls prior to battle with two pieces of acc (of course, right from the start you won't have any acc, but soon your acc collection will increase giving you the necessary edge in battle). Yes, I know that you can't predict what lies in future battle, but you're better off having at least something equipped than having nothing. 2. Always save whenever you see SSP, as they are invaluable to your progress. Not only do they restore party's HP/MP to full and recover any status changes that linger post-battle, but once you're after a certain tough spot in the game, you'll have a deep 'Phew!' after not having to repeat it again, should you encounter a game over afterwards. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -------------------------- B - BATTLE START - G0902 ------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- As you wander around in Field screen, suddenly a TV screen will shatter! Not literally, but it is your warning that random battle has just issued! One of three possible encounter setups await you: 1. Your party encounters enemy party and ATB bar is randomly outlined. It can happen that all three girls have a turn before all enemies, or all enemies act before girls do. 2. Your party is ambushed by enemy party. You'll know so by word 'Ambushed!' that appears at the top of battle screen. All enemies will act first. It doesn't matter how high girls' AGL is, enemies will always act first. Once enemies use the advantage of free attack, ATB returns to regular program. 3. Your party ambushes enemy party. You'll know so by words 'Pre-emptive strike!' that appears at top of battle screen. All girls will go first, regardless of AGL stat of the enemies. Once girls use the advantage of free attack, ATB order returns to regular program. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ----------------------- C - MAIN COMMAND WINDOW - G0903 --------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This is the command menu you'll be using the most when in battle. It is located in lower left of battle screen. It houses several different commands you can choose from (commands available to you depend on DSP used). Not all commands are available straight away when DSP is equipped - but once you learn a specific ability that falls into one of the command categories, that command will become selectable. Each command, when chosen, will as next step require you to select a target, or lead you to a submenu where even more options await you. For a complete and detailed information on various MCW commands, throw a look at section 14, Dressphere abilities. Here I'll list the four most important ones. 1. ATTACK (attack an enemy with equipped weapon) Very simple. After you select Attack command, you'll be prompted to select one of the targets on the battlefield. By default marker (which is in a shape of gold triangle) will point to one of the enemies on the battlefield. Choose carefully who you want to attack. If help window is enabled (you'll know so by the additional line at top of the screen), it'll show the name of the target you're attempting to attack (note that if target has been affected by status changes, you will see small icons of those changes to the right of target's name). Once the target is selected, girl performing the action will try to physically attack the target. 2. ITEM (use an item) Select this to be taken to another submenu, where you select an item, then select the target to use that item on and press X for one final time. Item command is available to any job. 3. DRESS UP (change jobs) On any girl's turn press L1 to be taken to that girl's equipped GG. It will be displayed on most of the screen, while in upper right corner you will be able to view flow of battle in a minimized window. Choose one of DSP (which *isn't* DSP currently equipped) and press X to have the girl change into new job. You can only select DSP that are one link away from currently equipped DSP (gates aren't included in this equation). If the job change causes the girl to take a pass thru one of the gates on GG, then she may be bestowed with a special effect, like gaining new spell, gaining element properties to her PATK or increasing certain statistics. Detailed information on special effects granted are discussed in Garment Grid section of this guide. 4. SPECIAL DRESS UP (change into special DSP) If one of the girls has changed into every single DSP she has inserted on her currently equipped GG (all nodes on GG must be occupied by DSP!), and on that girl's turn, press L1 to be taken to that girl's equipped GG. Special Dress Up command will appear - press R1 to activate it, then press X to complete the process. Other two girls will leave the battlefield and girl doing Special Dress Up will transform into some serious kick-ass job. Even though girl fights alone, her transformation has three independent parts - you will have to input commands for each part. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ----------------------- D - SUB COMMAND WINDOW - G0904 ---------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This screen is also found in lower left of battle screen. But to access it, you must press right when in main command screen. It houses one single command you can choose from. 1. ESCAPE (run away from battle) Select it, and then press X for girl to attempt to escape; she may or may not succeed in escaping. And you can't escape from boss fights and some special battles. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------ E - ATB BAR / WINDOW - G0905 ----------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Alpha and Omega of the battle, you *must* learn to use ATB efficiently. When it's time to do battle, ATB bar is your destiny. ATB is displayed in lower right corner of the screen. I'll try my best to explain the flow of it in easy-to-understand nature with a help of few pics along the way to illustrate some examples. 1. First rule: When girl's ATB is full, *only then* can she issue a command to be used for her turn. Girl cannot act if her ATB is empty or half full. It must be *full*. Remember that - always! ATB bar is represented as a green bar - once it is full, girl has a turn and you can issue commands. 2. Second rule: Depending on DSP used, girls can have ATB bars of variable lengths. For example, if Rikku is thief and Paine is dark knight, Rikku's ATB bar will fill up much faster than Paine's - just to illustrate, Rikku will be getting two turns for one Paine's. 3. Third rule: With rare exceptions, almost everything girls will try to perform, requires CTIM. CTIM is represented by a purple bar - once purple bar is full, CTIM for action selected is completed and action will be executed. Different actions require different CTIM, and stronger actions require longer CTIM. Furthermore, there are actions that are executed immediately, but delay girl's next turn a lot (two examples follow a bit below). You also need to take into equation girl's AGL stat - if it's very low, it will take her forever before her ATB bar and CTIM bar will fill up - the higher girl's AGL is, the faster / shorter those two bars will be. 4. Fourth rule: Once girl's CTIM action is executed, ATB bar may not appear. This means that girl's turn is already up, so you can issue next command. However, after certain types of CTIM actions ATB bar still needs to be filled before girl can act again. Whether or not ATB bar appears after CTIM depends on action executed. Do not worry, I'll take this into account when explaining action is Dressphere section of this guide. 5. Example 1: Let's say that Paine in warrior has chosen to perform Armor Break skill. Skill will not be executed immediately, instead it requires CTIM. You'll see Paine take a special stance and an aura will appear around her, as well as Paine's green ATB bar being replaced with purple CTIM bar, slowly filling. Once CTIM is full, Armor Break is used on specified target. 6. Example 2: Rikku is thief and Yuna is songstress. Let's assume Rikku uses Potion and Yuna uses Darkness Dance. Rikku's action requires CTIM, whereas Yuna's action will be executed immediately, but her next turn will be delayed, so long green bar represents Yuna's action, while shorter blue bar is Rikku's. 7. In addition, ATB bar also has others colors it can be bestowed with, but I discuss these changes in the Character's condition section. 8. Any type of attack which deals damage will temporarily meddle with your bar filling process. Do note that same also applies for fiends (even though you can't normally see their bars). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------- F - CHARACTER BAR - G0906 ------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Character bar is situated in lower right corner of battle screen and is tied very closely with the ATB bar. I could've thrown it in the same pool with ATB bar, but there are differences that must be taken care of. 1. You will see three girls' bars represented in following fashion: girl's name, followed by her current HP and MP. You can only get to view girl's MAX HP and/or MP value if girl is targeted with relevant spell (Cure) or item (X-Potion). 2. Pay close attention to girls' HP (especially on this one!) and MP values. If HP is depleted to 0, girl is KO-ed and cannot fight anymore until revived. If MP is depleted to 0, girl can't use any of MP consuming abilities - this seriously hampers girl's fighting capabilities, so do your best to never run out of MP. 3. HP counter comes in handy when distinguishing girl's status by looking at the color of HP counter: FINE - Girl is doing fine if her HP are at least 33% (and above) MAX HP. HP counter in this case is displayed white. CRITICAL - Girl is in critical condition once her HP fall below 33% of her MAX HP. You will know so by two things: girl will assume kneeling stance and her HP will be displayed yellow. She also requires more time to act and recover from hits she's taking. KO-ED - Girl is KO-ed (or otherwise incapacitated) if HP counter is displayed red. This is really unfavorable for your battles, so remedy the situation quickly. 4. MP counter comes in handy when distinguishing girl's ability to use MP consuming actions by looking at the color of HP counter: FINE - Girl is doing fine if her MP are at least 33% (and above) MAX MP. MP counter in this case is displayed white. CRITICAL - Girl hasn't got much MP to toy with if her MP fall below 33% of her MAX MP. MP counter will be displayed yellow if this would be the case. If her MP is too low for some MP consuming abilities to be used, she won't be able to even select them. OUT OF MP - Girl can't use MP consuming actions if her MP is depleted. MP counter is displayed red in this case. This is really unfavorable for your battles, so remedy the situation quickly. 5. Finally, sometimes you'll see a strange white bar appear instead of HP and MP counters. When can this come in handy? If a girl is under status change, but you don't know what that is, target that girl with status affecting skill or status-lifting item. Voila! Instead of white bar being empty you will see one of many symbols that represent status effect - to name two: shield icon represents protect status, and 4-star symbol represents regen status. Learn status' symbols well, for it will save you in a rough situation many times. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ---------------------- G - BATTLE TIPS & TRICKS - G0907 --------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- In here I'll list down any helpful info or hints I can think of to ease the suffering of enemies that try to get any funny ideas... and in case they succeed, what to do to fix the situation. 1. You lose control of a girl if she is berserked, confused, petrified or under KO. Berserk is not necessarily bad, as she continues to attack enemies with increased Str, you just can't control her. Confused girl is a different story altogether - use Esuna or Remedy on her quickly... or hit (on) her. Petrified girl is a mixed bag... if she receives any type of damage, she will shatter and be gone from this battle permanently - Soft or Esuna used quickly will ensure that will never happen. KO-ed girl is of no use to you, therefore Phoenix Down or Life will give her a second chance. 2. Increase girls' amount of turns by increasing AGL. You can do so in many ways: Chocobo Feather, Chocobo Wing, Haste, Hastega, Auto-Haste acc or one of many AGL-increasing skills. 3. Decrease enemies' amount of turns by decreasing their AGL or incurring certain statuses. Decrease enemies' AGL with one of many AGL-decreasing skills or use Delay skills to let enemies never even get the attack in. Putting enemies to sleep and then whacking them with magic attacks is also an excellent way of winning the battle. 4. Augment your DEF and MDEF with Protect and Shell respectively (both increase the resistance by 50%). 5. Make enemies hit themselves with magic by having Reflect on (for permanent effect wear Star Bracer acc). 6. Each attack enemy does to you will make them feel the pain right back with help of Counter and Magic Counter skills. Note that you cannot counter multitarget PATK or MATK. Only berserker DSP has counterattack skills. 7. Steal from enemies often. Many a time enemy carries an item you aren't able to buy. Same goes for Bribing - many rare and most useful items can be gotten that way. 8. Beware! Over the course of game enemies in certain areas are replaced by other enemies, which are far stronger. For example: in CH1 you will encounter Coyote on Besaid island. However, one of the enemies encountered on Besaid in CH5 will be Malboro! Don't get me started on other areas... 9. If say both Rikku and Yuna attack same enemy, but Rikku's attack KO-es that enemy, fret not! Yuna's attack will not go to waste - instead she automatically targets closest enemy. 10. Pay attention to enemies' battle stances. They help tremendously in figuring out what an enemy will do. You can easily tamper with their status this way (for example, you see that an enemy is charging MATK, so you throw Silence Grenade at it to disable next attack). MAGICAL - if you see some kind of aura surround the enemy, this usually denotes it's charging up MATK SPECIAL PHYSICAL - if you see the enemy take funny fighting stance or it's movement becomes faster, this usually denotes enemy's charging a special PATK REGULAR PHYSICAL - if enemy unleashes the attack immediately, you've been hit with a regular PATK 11. Word 'MISS' will appear sometimes during battle. What can cause this? - If girl is darknessed and she attacks her target with PATK, there's a high possibility that she will miss connecting her attack to desired target. In this case 'MISS' will pop up telling that. Similarly, if target's EVA is way superior to attacker's ACCU, attack may miss. This applies for both your team and the enemies. - Casting same status on same target for second time will usually result in a 'MISS'. For example, trying to put darkness on the enemy after it has already been affected by it is meaningless. This isn't the case if status effect is stackable or status has been lifted by means of dispeling it, timelapse or hitting affected target. - If target is asleep or stopped, PATK will always connect. 12. If at any time you're unsure of who you're targeting with an attack or can't distinguish well enough between monster's name and its outside appearance, throw a look at the battlefield! There will be a white circle on the ground surronding target of your attack as well as yellow triangle pointing down on same target. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------- H - DISTANCE EFFECT - G0908 ----------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Totally new aspect introduced into FF genre! And hard to explain. 1. First thing to remember is that your team is not the only one with distance effect. Enemies are capable of unleashing such attacks as well. 2. See distance effect in action in following event: let's say that your whole team is very close to one Coyote. All three choose to physically attack that Coyote. Now because all three are close to their target, Coyote will sustain three attacks in short amount of time, getting 'Chain x 2!' with ease. 3. In regards to point 2. of this issue distance effect is usually not successful in following event: two gals are close to target Coyote, while third gal is very far away. All three girls choose to physically attack that Coyote - Paine's and Rikku's attack will connect immediately, while Yuna needs say two seconds to get to where Coyote is and slice it down. Taking this into the equation, Coyote will sustain two attacks in very short amount of time (resulting in 'Chain x 1!'), while third attack will *not* result in 'Chain x 2!', simply because too much time elapsed between 2nd and 3rd attack. So you will need to time your attacks effectively as well. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -------------------------- I - RANGE EFFECT - G0909 ------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 1. Sometimes range effect is applied. There isn't whole lot of attacks that fall in this category. In fact, the only I found so far is Mr B.'s Glint, which covers wide circular range around him - if any girls are found within Glint's range, they suffer damage. However, if all girls are outside of range, none of them suffers damage. Sweet. 2. A cheesy way of staying outside such attacks' ranges is by applying jobs that attack from a distance - these include gunner, lady luck, alchemist, trainer and gun mage. Simply stand at your initial battle position and fire away all you want. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ---------------------- J - EFFECT OF THE 'ARC' - G0910 ---------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 1. Sometimes an enemy possesses an attack which usually hurts all three girls, like Zalamander's Flame Breath, for example. However, pay attention to attack's animation! If you look closely, you'll see that it sweeps over the battlefield, dealing damage to all caught in the blast. The most important aspect to notice is that it can't affect THE WHOLE battlefield, only a portion of it, thus making this attack fall into category of what I call 'arc attack'. 2. How can you benefit from such attacks? Should your girls be very far away from each other (for example, forming a triangle around Zalamander), then it would be able to damage only two of your girls (even just only one, should you be extremely lucky). Know this battle aspect and use it well! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -------------------- K - HIT THE FRONT OR BEHIND? - G0911 ------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 1. Believe it or not, but girls' and enemies' battle positions are important in one more aspect. For example, if Yuna is facing Coyote head on and she attacks it, she'll deal 100 damage to Coyote. 2. However, if Coyote is having its back turned towards Yuna, and she attacks it, damage inflicted will be doubled, meaning Coyote will suffer 200 damage! This doesn't count as critical strike. 3. In cases when luck is on your side as well, and Yuna manages to hit Coyote in the back with critical strike occuring, damage inflicted will be quadrupled! In this case Coyote will suffer 400 damage. 4. Of course, enemies can use this weakness on your girls as well. You have been warned. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ---------------------------- L - CHAINING - G0912 --------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 1. If enemy is attacked by a number of consecutive attacks, 'Chain x 1!', 'Chain x 2!', 'Chain x 3!' and so on will sometimes pop up with each successful strike. What's in it for you? Well, damage done by each successive attack that connects is greater than usual. You can use many ways to try to achieve chaining - have all three gals attack same enemy at the same time, or have one girl throw Fire Gem at one enemy, followed by other two attacking it. Try out different combos for maximum effect possible. Beware - enemies are capable of same chaining effect on your team! 2. Once you land a successful hit on your target, you must quickly strike it again while target is still recovering from being hit. If you manage to do it, chaining has begun. Note that the target still recovering from previous strike cannot evade next attack. 3. In case you succeed landing critical strike, target hit requires more time to recover from the hit, allowing you more time to coordinate your attacks into chaining session. 4. And here's the formula for chained damage: 'Chain x 1!' damage is 1,45 times the original hit, and any other hit afterwards is .05 times more than the last (thanks to Zeruel for this). Maximum value you can reach is more than 600%. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- --------------------- M - ACTIVE / WAIT ATB MODE - G0913 -------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- You will notice a sign alternating between 'Active mode' and 'Wait mode' in upper right corner of battle screen. What exactly does this tell you? 1. If ATB mode is set to Active, time always passes. Time passes even if you're ransacking your items desperately seeking that X-Potion you know you've put somewhere... or by pondering if you should choose Armor or Magic Break. Only use Active mode if you're a skilled player already. If this is your first FF game or are not yet familiar with ATB system, don't use this mode. 2. If ATB mode is set to Wait, time only passes while you're selecting one of girl's commands on MCW. As soon as you enter a submenu of any type (item menu or white magic menu), time stops ('Active mode' sign will change to 'Wait mode') and you can take all the time you wish to select the necessary means of turning battle into your favor. 3. Time is also stopped (ie set to 'Wait mode' automatically) during some of battle's longer animations. Listing those would just be waste of time, for there are many such events. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ---------------------- N - GREEN / WHITE NUMBERS - G0914 -------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 1. As soon as you enter first battle of the game and you land first hit upon the enemies, you'll notice either white or green number appear briefly as the hit is being made. This section will explain to you what those numbers represent. Don't make such a scared face, it's really easy! 2. WHITE NUMBERS indicate HP loss, or that damage which reduces target's current HP has been inflicted. I'll give you an example of what I mean: Say Yuna encounters Coyote, which has 74 HP. She hits it with PATK, dealing 50 damage to Coyote. You will know so because white number '50' will appear briefly, denoting amount of damage you've done. Should you bother to scan Coyote afterwards, you'd notice that it has 24 HP now. 3. GREEN NUMBERS indicate HP recovery, or that some/most of target's current HP has been recovered. Here's an example: Say Yuna (she has 100 HP) fights Coyote. It hits her with PATK, dealing 50 damage to her - Yuna now has 50 HP. So we need to heal her quickly - choose a Potion and use it on her. You will see green number '200' appear briefly, denoting that same amount of HP has just been added to Yuna's current HP. Should you bother to scan Yuna afterwards, you'd notice that she has 250 HP now. 4. WHITE NUMBERS PRECEEDED BY 'MP' WORD indicate MP loss, or that damage which reduces target's current MP has been inflicted. I'll give you an example of what I mean: Say Yuna encounters Sahagin, which has 28 MP. She reduces it's MP by hitting it with special attack, dealing 20 MP damage to Sahagin. You will know so because white number 'MP 20' will appear briefly, denoting amount of MP damage you've done. Should you bother to scan Sahagin afterwards, you'd notice that it has 8 MP now. 5. GREEN NUMBERS PRECEEDED BY 'MP' WORD indicate MP recovery, or that some/most of target's current MP has been recovered. Here's an example: Say Yuna (she has 200 MP) encounters Coyote. It hits her with special attack, dealing 150 MP damage to her - Yuna now has 50 MP. So we need to heal her quickly - choose an Ether and use it on her. You will see green number 'MP 100' appear briefly, denoting that same amount of MP has just been added to Yuna's current MP. Should you bother to scan Yuna now, you'd notice that she has 150 MP now. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ---------------------- O - ELEMENTAL PROPERTIES - G0915 --------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 1. There are SEVEN ELEMENTS present in FFX-2. Those elements are: FIRE, ICE, LIGHTNING, WATER, HOLY, GRAVITY and NON-ELEMENTAL. 2. FIRE and ICE oppose each other, as do LIGHTNING and WATER. HOLY has no opposing element - same goes for GRAVITY and NON-ELEMENTAL. 3. All elements (except non-elemental) are affected by target's corresponding element affinities, so be careful of what you're trying to have fun with. These affinities are: WEAKNESS, STRONG, NULLIFY or ABSORB. 4. If you don't understand what I mean, here's how you should interpret information provided. - WEAKNESS: Normally fire based attacks deal 200 damage per hit to target ELEMWEAK enemy. But let's say Coyote is weak to fire damage. In this case each hit of fire based attack would deal double damage to Coyote - 400 damage! - STRONG : Normally fire based attacks deal 200 damage per hit to target ELEMHALF enemy. But let's say Coyote is strong to fire damage. In this case each hit of fire based attack would deal 50% less damage to Coyote - 100 damage! - NULLIFY : Normally fire based attacks deal 200 damage per hit to target ELEMIMM enemy. But let's say Coyote is immune to fire damage. In this case each hit of fire based attack would deal zero (0) damage to Coyote - *no* damage! - ABSORB : Normally fire based attacks deal 200 damage per hit to target ELEMABS enemy. But let's say Coyote absorbs fire damage as HP recovery. In this case each hit of fire based attack would restore 200 HP to Coyote. So know your enemies before you try sending them to their doom! Otherwise it may very well be other way around. 5. Of special mention is non-elemental property. None of target's element affinities have any effect on damage inflicted by non-elemental attacks. The only way to reduce the damage is by having shell POSSE on the target. Some types of non-elemental attacks are Flare and Ultima. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- --------------------------- P - BATTLE END - G0916 -------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 1. Battle ends in one of following scenarios: - all enemies are killed - some/all enemies have escaped and/or the rest is killed - all three gals are KO-ed, petrified or shattered (GAME OVER!) - girls have been ejected from battle 2. You must remember something important! If *at least one* girl has managed to escape current battle, you avoid Game over. The other two can get knocked around as much as they want and possibly get KO-ed in the end, but this *will not* warrant Game over for you, because one of the gals escaped. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------ Q - POST-BATTLE INFO - G0917 ----------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Once enemies have been barbecued (or you escaped), post-battle screen will greet you. It has following elements... 1. As usual, there's a help line on top. 2. EXP and gil award for current battle are displayed in upper left corner. EXP is not shared, so each girl gets full EXP. Girl doesn't receive EXP if she's KO-ed, petrified or has pointless status. There are also some other circumstances in which girl doesn't receive EXP, but I will address this in relevant place. 3. Below EXP and gil lines Items you won from current fight are displayed. These are added to your inventory. You may win acc as well. 4. Right half of the screen shows three gals' EXP status, presented in following manner: girl's pic, name, LV, current EXP, EXP needed for next level. If girl gains enough EXP from current fight to advance to next level, words 'LEVEL UP!!' will appear above gal's info box. 5. Below girls' info boxes amount of gil you currently have is displayed. 6. Once EXP and gil have been added, you will be prompted to press X to return to field screen. 7. Should you manage to kill some enemies, but you then escape (or the rest of the enemies flees), you get EXP, gil and items for any enemies you managed to defeat up to the point of fleeing. ============================================================================= ============================================================================= 10.) CHARACTER'S STATUS - G1000 ============================================================================= ============================================================================= Main issues addressed in this section are: ============================================================================= Status basics ---- G1001 | KO -------------- G1002 | Petrification ---- G1003 Sleep ------------ G1004 | Silence --------- G1005 | Darkness --------- G1006 Poison ----------- G1007 | Confuse --------- G1008 | Berserk ---------- G1009 Curse ------------ G1010 | Eject ----------- G1011 | Pointless -------- G1012 Itchy ------------ G1013 | Auto-Life ------- G1014 | Shell ------------ G1015 Protect ---------- G1016 | Reflect --------- G1017 | Regen ------------ G1018 Haste ------------ G1019 | Slow ------------ G1020 | Stop ------------- G1021 STR up ----------- G1022 | MAG up ---------- G1023 | DEF up ----------- G1024 MDEF up ---------- G1025 | ACCU up --------- G1026 | EVA up ----------- G1027 LUCK up ---------- G1028 | Doom ------------ G1029 | Null Physical ---- G1030 Null Magic ------- G1031 | Invincible ------ G1032 | STR down --------- G1033 MAG down --------- G1034 | DEF down -------- G1035 | MDEF down -------- G1036 ACCU down -------- G1037 | EVA down -------- G1038 | LUCK down -------- G1039 Shattering* ------ G1040 | Delay effect* --- G1041 | Action-cancel* --- G1042 Spellspring* ----- G1043 | ============================================================================= Note that statuses in above mini-TOC are listed the way they're shown inside the game's basics tutorial. For my and your convenience I'll arrange them alphabetically when explaining them. * - Shattering, Delay, Action-cancel and Spellspring are what I would call hidden status effects - they aren't mentioned in the tutorial, but they exist nevertheless. More info on what they do in their respective sections. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -------------------------- A - STATUS BASICS - G1001 ------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 1. By looking at the above mini-TOC you see that there's indeed many statuses you can have fun with in FFX-2. I do miss zombie status, sniff - too bad they haven't included it. Oh well, we'll have to make due with what we have left. 2. After noting down each status, here's the final matchup - 25 negative VS 17 positive statuses. During your trip you're sure to come across at least 2/3 of this list, and if in certain tight spot you don't know what status is for, you might be screwed royally. 3. So you've been affected by a certain status, but don't know what it was? There's three ways to tell what your girls have fallen under. - visual representation of status in effect (cursed girl will flash black every so often) - white bar replacing character bar if girl in question is targeted with status affecting spell/item (on this bar small icons representing statuses in effect will appear) - some other representation, unique to this status 4. Most of NEGSE can be prevented from occuring by equipping acc with relevant anti-skill. Also some jobs have inherent anti-skills which prevent status from happening. If however, you still get caught by surprise and girl has been granted NEGSE, you can cure that status in many ways: Esuna, Remedy, or status-lifting item made esp for that status (Echo Screen for silence). Or in dire situation, KO the girl and then revive her - any status will be gone (ok, any status but petrified, since you may shatter poor girl instead). 5. Most of POSSE is beneficial to you, so you should keep in mind to always be in at least one POSSE to ensure easy victories. With that said, don't expect enemies to just let you become super-powerful. They have and will use any means necessary to negate the effects of POSSE. 6. Some of POSSE come as AAB on acc, so make sure you equip those. You may wish to employ some of white magics to come around few of POSSE game has to offer. Also many other jobs offer ways of affecting your team with desired POSSE - there are many choices, you just need to seek them out. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------- B - STATUS CHART OVERVIEW / EXPLANATION ----------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Before I dig into explaining statuses, a nicely laid out chart is necessary. It will show how I intend to outline the info one needs to know on certain status effect. CHART OVERVIEW ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. NAME? | STACKS | POST-B. | TIME/HIT ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. It does...? 3. Visual feature? 4. Icon feature? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHART EXPLANATION 1. Name of the status, followed by three pieces of info: - Some of NEGSE and POSSE can be stacked. What does that mean? If a target is hit with same status again and if that status is stackable, then the effect/s of statuses increase, thus giving target further advantages (in case POSSE can be stacked) or disadvantages (in case NEGSE can be stacked). Ultimately, you should aim to inflict stackable NEGSE on your enemies, and stackable POSSE on your team.* - Does status in question remain after battle?** - Adresses the issue if status is lifted automatically after some time has elapsed and / or if status is lifted if target is hit by PATK.*** * - 'No' means status doesn't stack. 'Yes' means status can stack. ** - 'No' means status is lifted at end of battle. 'Yes' means status remains even after battle is won. *** - 'Time' means status is lifted automatically after some time elapses. 'Hit' means status is lifted if target is hit by PATK. 'Both' means that status is lifted if either some time elapses or target is hit by PATK. 'None' means that status cannot be cured by time-lapse or hitting target with PATK. 2. What does status in question really do. 3. If there's a visual feature of status being in effect, what *is* that feature? 4. If no visual feature of status being in effect is given, icon feature is presented *for sure* and will clear any doubts. Okay, I lied - DELEF and ACTIC don't have icon feature; you will need to rely on your monster knowledge. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ----------------------------- C - STATUS HEROES ----------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Let us begin the dance with POSSE! There's 17 entries in this category. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACCU up - G1026 | STACKS - yes | POST-B. - no | TIME/HIT - none ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It does...? - Target's ACCU stat is increased.

Haste *doesn't* increase target's AGL, it affects the speed at which attacks are executed (for example warrior using Attack command), thus allowing target to enter CTIM or RECTIM sooner. Visual feature?- ATB bar is red, target's movements become faster. Icon feature? - Blue running figure. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Invincible - G1032 | STACKS - no | POST-B. - no | TIME/HIT - time ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It does...? - Target becomes invincible.

Small number in lower right represents SSTLV. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Null Magic - G1031 | STACKS - no | POST-B. - no | TIME/HIT - time* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It does...? - Target is immune to any type of MATK. In short, any type of magic damage is nullified. Visual feature?- None. Attacking targets under this POSSE with MATK will produce 'IMMUNE' word to appear when target is hit.

There are PATK that ignore protect (if latter is in effect). Please note that protect doesn't influence DEF stat - it merely decreases phd received. Visual feature?- Blue multi-hexagon shield appears once target is hit with any type of PATK (excluding those which ignore protect). Icon feature? - Encircled blue shield. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reflect - G1017 | STACKS - no | POST-B. - no | TIME/HIT - time ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It does...? - Target reflects (ie bounces) most single-target white/black magic spells back towards the caster. Target cannot reflect multi-target spells like Demi. Visual feature?- White wall appears if target is hit with reflectable spell.

Can be stacked 10x maximum. Each level increases physical damage given by 1/12. Attacks that deal fractional damage are not affected by this status. Visual feature?- None. Icon feature? - Sword with arrow pointing up. Small number in lower right represents SSTLV. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ---------------------------- D - STATUS BADASSES ---------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- It's time for the other side of the medal. Introducing NEGSE! 25 entries are in this section. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACCU down - G1037 | STACKS - yes | POST-B. - no | TIME/HIT - none ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It does...? - Target's ACCU stat is decreased. Can be stacked 10x maximum. Each level decreases ACCU by 10 points. Visual feature?- None. Icon feature? - Bulls-eye with arrow pointing down. Small number in lower right represents SSTLV. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Action-cancel - G1042 | STACKS - no | POST-B. - no | TIME/HIT - * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It does...? - Target enters a command which requires CTIM in order to be executed - if target is attacked during CTIM phase with an ability that has ACTIC properties, target's command is canceled and target's ATB bar starts anew. Do not mix up this status with DELEF - they have different properties! Visual feature?- Target's stance during CTIM phase is canceled. Icon feature? - None. * note - There's no real way to prevent this status, as it happens in matter of seconds. In same amount of seconds this status is 'gone', too. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Berserk - G1009 | STACKS - no | POST-B. - no | TIME/HIT - time ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It does...? - Target's STR is increased by +1 level (only in some cases!). Target can only use normal PATK. If one of your girls is affected, you lose command of affected girl. Berserk inflicted on enemies wears off after a while. Same applies to the girls. Berserked enemies may use other forms of attacks. Visual feature?- Target's body emanates red color. Icon feature? - Red flaming sword. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Confuse - G1008 | STACKS - no | POST-B. - no | TIME/HIT - both ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It does...? - Target becomes confused and attacks enemies/allies alike. If one of girls is confused, you lose command of affected girl - she may choose to use any command currently at her disposal and execute it, provided she has means to do it. Confuse inflicted on enemies wears off after a while. Visual feature?- Two stars appear around target's head. Icon feature? - Red question mark. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Curse - G1010 | STACKS - no | POST-B. - no | TIME/HIT - none ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It does...? - Target girl cannot switch jobs. Visual feature?- Girl's body will flash black, L1 command is unavailable. Icon feature? - Black vortex. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Darkness - G1006 | STACKS - no | POST-B. - yes | TIME/HIT - none ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It does...? - Target's ACCU stat is decreased, target often misses when trying to land PATK. Visual feature?- Black mist surrounds target's head. Icon feature? - Four black blobs. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Doom - G1029 | STACKS - no | POST-B. - no | TIME/HIT - time ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It does...? - Once timer above target's head reaches 0 (zero), target is KO-ed. Timer is stopped while target is in stop status. Visual feature?- Red timer appears above target's head. Icon feature? - Black skull in white circle. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Delay effect - G1041 | STACKS - no | POST-B. - no | TIME/HIT - * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It does...? - Can affect both target's ATB and/or CTIM bars, which are emptied by a predetermined %. The % of ATB/CTIM bar depleted must fill up again before target can issue commands. In short, this status delays (and possibly cancels) target's next action input. Two examples of DELEF follow. Example 1: Rikku's ATB bar is full, she's about to issue a command and she's fighting Iron Giant (its attack has DELEF). ATB mode is set to 'Active'. While Rikku is choosing an item to use, she's attacked by Iron Giant, who manages to hit her. You'll notice two things: your item menu will disappear and Rikku's green ATB bar will be emptied a bit (once it fills back up, Rikku will have another try to enter the command). Why? Because her turn has been canceled and delayed a bit. Example 2: Same battle as before, only this time Rikku is in CTIM phase for using Potion on herself. She's attacked and suffers damage. You'll notice one thing this time around - Rikku's CTIM bar will be emptied a bit. Once a target is in CTIM phase, action *cannot be canceled*, only delayed. Visual feature?- Target's ATB/CTIM bar is pushed to left, as if being emptied. Amount taken away will eventually fill back up to previous value. Icon feature? - None. * note - There's no real way to prevent this status, as it happens in matter of seconds. In same amount of seconds this status is 'gone', too. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEF down - G1035 | STACKS - yes | POST-B. - no | TIME/HIT - none ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It does...? - Target's DEF stat is decreased. Can be stacked 10x maximum. Each level increases physical damage taken by 1/12. Attacks that deal fractional damage are not affected by this status. Visual feature?- None. Icon feature? - Blue shield with arrow pointing down. Small number in lower right represents SSTLV. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eject - G1011 | STACKS - no | POST-B. - no | TIME/HIT - none ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It does...? - Target is ejected from current battle. If you see this icon in status immunity part of Scan screen, it denotes that target *cannot* be ejected from battle. Your girls when in SDSP cannot be ejected from battle as well. Visual feature?- None. Icon feature? - Strange white circle shape (wind gust?). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- EVA down - G1038 | STACKS - yes | POST-B. - no | TIME/HIT - none ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It does...? - Target's EVA stat is decreased. Can be stacked 10x maximum. Each level decreases EVA by 10 points. Visual feature?- None. Icon feature? - Blue running figure with arrow pointing down. Small number in lower right represents SSTLV. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Itchy - G1013 | STACKS - no | POST-B. - no | TIME/HIT - * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It does...? - Girl affected *must* change into another job by pressing L1 and choosing another DSP. Until she does so, any other commands are sealed (except L1 and Escape). Status is also lifted if girl becomes confused. Visual feature?- None of the commands can be selected (except L1 and Escape), girl's body flashes white. Icon feature? - A pic of girl's dress. * note - Status is gone once girl changes into another DSP. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- KO - G1002 | STACKS - no | POST-B. - yes | TIME/HIT - none ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It does...? - Girl is out of action, ATB bar doesn't fill, commands cannot be entered. Visual feature?- Girl lies on the ground. Icon feature? - White skull. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- LUCK down - G1039 | STACKS - yes | POST-B. - no | TIME/HIT - none ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It does...? - Target's LUCK stat is decreased.

'Swipe' - VS one chr - phd ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY Rikku starts as thief, and Paine as warrior. Okay, onto the battle at last... ????'s first move will be using Ecstasy on both of her allies, which will double their MAX HP and bestow regen upon them. Nothing really worrying, as it only restores 1 HP. Nyah nyah. They also try to be dangerous by being hasted, but that's not a major threat either. Anyway, take care of both Goons with few well placed PATK. Only ???? remains standing. While you're busy finishing off sidekicks, she'll pummel you with Thunder for about 10 damage. In case their regen or haste wears off, she'll recast it. Steal Hi-Potion from her, then finish her as well. If you manage to defeat ???? first, battle is not over yet. You must defeat all three to proceed. * note - Two Goons fought in this battle have 29 HP each. Goons you'll be meeting in subsequent battles will have 13 HP each. ***************************************************************************** After a scene you will appear in Luca harbor. Ahead you'll see runaway gal, with Paine chasing closely behind her. Note that your HP/MP are restored automatically, so don't worry about having low HP/MP. If you enter main menu, only three choices will be available to you: Items, Accessories and Config (switch ATB mode to Wait Mode!). You're controlling Rikku, so go N. Or wait... you'll automatically fall into a battle against two easy enemies. Waste them, then proceed N to next screen. Beware, there is no end to the enemies... you may fight them for easy EXP, if you wish. I suggest learning Pilfer Gil for Rikku and Sentinel for Paine. As you reach next screen, you'll again see runaway gal. This time, if you're caught, you square off against four enemies. Kill enemy magicians last, they only do 3 damage max with Fire. On this screen go W to reach the pier - look for a funny animal. Recognize the trademark used? If you examine it with X, your HP/MP will get restored. This is important event for 100% in one game. There's nothing else to do here, so leave the screen by going N. Paine is all alone, so go up a bit... ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - SYNDICATE'S THUGS, FIRST IGNITION ------------------------------ FATSO STATISTICS ----------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 97 | 0 | 3 | 1 | 60 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- SIL, BER, CUR, EJE, STOP, DOOM, %DMG ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Potion | Iron Bangle | none Phoenix Down | Iron Bangle | none ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Fatso will hit you for about 15 damage, while Slim's attacks hit for 10 tops. Slim has less HP and hits softer (heh!) than Fatso, plus he can use Potions to heal themselves - so who's on the obvious list for shotoff first? After Slim is gone, it's just a matter of few turns to take down Fatso, mainly due to his somewhat high DEF. If you see Fatso spinning around, beware - he's about to hit one girl for 20 damage. Even though you've just began playing, don't relax! You can get game over if you're not careful. Don't forget to steal their items and cash - every acc you nail ASAP is saving you from some cash being spent. ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - SYNDICATE'S LEADER, SECOND IGNITION ------------------------------- LB.

The game introduces Dress Up aspect. When prompted, press L1, then select songstress job and Yuna will transform. Now immediately select Darkness Dance from the ability list (you *can't* select anything else no matter how hard you try) and Yuna will bestow darkness upon LB. (BTW, only command Yuna will be able to use for the rest of the battle is Darkness Dance). This leaves LB. with only Thunder in her playing hand, cos her physicals will miss a lot. Meanwhile have Rikku steal LB.'s item (she carries hefty amount of cash too) and Paine pound on her mercilessly. Don't forget to heal if in danger zone, you need all EXP you can get. ***************************************************************************** With this Storyline Mission 1 has come to an end. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- STORYLINE MISSION 2 - G1102 - Mystery on top of the mountain. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- CELSIUS AREA MAP 'C - deck' | 'C - bridge' SSP | 'C - cabin' | 'C - engine room' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- FLOATING RUINS AREA MAP 'FR - upper tier' SSP | 'FR - base (lower)' | 'FR - passage' -- E branch -- 'FR - base (upper)'* | 'FR - base (upper)' | 'FR - spire' SSP * - this small area of 'FR - base' can only be accessed by entering 'FR - passage' and taking E branch path. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEMS - C - bridge: 4x Al Bhed p., Vanguard GG - C - engine r.: Ether, 4x Potion, 3x Remedy, 4x Phoenix Down - FR - upper tier: Yellow Ring - FR - base (lower): Elixir, Mega Phoenix - FR - passage: White Ring - FR - base (upper): Red Ring - FR - spire: Star Pendant, Muscle Belt, Gagazet Sphere - C - bridge: Black Mage DSP ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENEMIES: Ahriman, Bomb, Recoil, Quadricorn, Goon, She-Goon, Yellow Elemental, Divebeak, LB. (BOSS), Fatso (BOSS), Slim (BOSS), Boris (BOSS) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Place of following events is 'Celsius'. Gentlemen, Yuna is yours to command at last! For starters check the main menu - added have been four entries: Equip, Garment Grids, Abilities and Dresspheres. In top left of the bridge is Buddy (talk to him to receive AL BHED PRIMER KEY ITEM), your mission navigator, ie person you need to talk with to have world map displayed so you can pick your destinations. In top middle Brother (Note 1) is sitting in pilot chair - when you're done chatting, you'll get 3x AL BHED PRIMER KEY ITEM-s. At top right Rikku is extended in her chair. At middle right you can talk to Shinra (Note 2). To progress with the story, you must talk to Rikku, Paine, Shinra, Brother and MN. Hm, nothing happens... how about we explore the ship? Go S and when past the door, a handy SSP will be presented. Like in FFX, examining SSP fully restores all HP/MP as well as remove any status changes. Continue further and into the elevator (Note 3) and head for the engine room - here you'll find ETHER, 4x POTION, 4x PHOENIX DOWN and 3x REMEDY. Note 1 - When you talk to Bro, you'll be given a tutorial on Al Bhed. There's a total of 26 Al Bhed primers you can nail throughout your adventure. Some of them are given to you as story progresses, whilst some can only be obtained by digging at Bikanel and obtained by completing optional story events. By following my guide exactly as stated, you'll end up with 18 Al Bhed primers obtained from various events and stuff - the remaining 8 you'll dig up in Bikanel. Note 2 - Talking to Shinra will give you these options: SHINRA'S GUIDE TO EVERYTHING - Learn the basics of the game! (Note 4) TREASURE SPHERES - View special movie spheres you've found. SHINRA'S BESTIARY - View information on enemies you've defeated. SHINRA'S DOSSIERS - View information on people you've encountered. Note 3 - Depending on location from which you're entering the elevator: DECK - Returns you to Bridge BRIDGE - Deck, Cabin, Engine Room CABIN - Deck, Bridge, Engine Room ENGINE ROOM - Deck, Bridge, Cabin Note 4 - Make sure to check out 'Using Garment Grids' tutorial - after it's done, you receive VANGUARD GG! Return to elevator and choose third option again to be taken to ship's inn. Talk to Hypello on the right - he offers a shop... -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- BARKEEP'S SHOP Potion 50 | Twist Headband (Sleepproof) 3000 Phoenix Down 100 | White Cape (Silenceproof) 3000 Antidote 50 | Silver Glasses (Darkproof) 3000 Eye Drops 50 | Star Pendant (Poisonproof) 4000 Echo Screen 50 | Soft 50 | Holy Water 300 | -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- ...and a place to sleep for free. Buy some Potions (10) and Phoenix Downs (5 should be enough) - MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE REST! In fact, if you want % completion, you must rest in each of five chapters at least once! Going upstairs in the cabin produces no effect... there aren't even any items to be found. When done here, head back to elevator. An alarm will go off - in the elevator choose second option to reach bridge hallway. Approach your MN and it's time for first HS! When prompted, squeeze Yuna's pretty a... um, I mean, push action button. 'FR - upper tier': Because you can't really do it, you'll get a nice look at Yuna's booty instead. Awww, c'mon how much longer will you keep pulling her up, girls? When in control, go N. Short reminder will appear about how to jump when near 'correct' spots - by pressing Circle. Go right a bit any you'll see Yuna stutter at the edge, meaning you're near one of jumping spots. What you do is simply *hold* Circle and run to the edge - Yuna will jump over automatically. Right after that keep Circle pressed and Yuna will climb up small ledge. Before you jump the next gap, drop down and get YELLOW RING ACC. Then turn around, keep Circle pressed and press left - Yuna will climb back up. Now turn right and jump the gap to where Rikku and Paine are. Go S, down the stairs and use SSP nearby. From this point on random battles are initiated. Make full use of your battle knowledge and rack up some levels while you're at it. You're about to have few shaky boss battles. From SSP head W - after the scene examine the SSWT in the wall and pick [Start the elevator] option. You'll land in 'FR - base (lower)'. Now change both Rikku's and Yuna's job into warrior. Now go S and keep dropping off ledges, then make your way W where a chest with ELIXIR awaits liberation. Return the way you came - you'll see a part of broken pillar, so climb two ledges found here (remember to keep Circle pressed!!!) and keep climbing until you reach rather large clearing. Get to LV3 or LV4 before climbing too high - it will be helpful in next battle. Prior to battle change Yuna to songstress. Try to go N... ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - WHOLE SYNDICATE, THIRD IGNITION ------------------------------ FATSO STATISTICS ----------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 130 | 10 | 10 | 1 | 80 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SIL, CON, BER, CUR, EJE, STOP, DOOM, %DMG ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Potion | Gauntlets | none Phoenix Down | Gauntlets | none ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Love Tap - on Fatso, Slim or her - induces haste 2. Sonic Fan - NATT VS one/two/all chrs - mgd, arc attack 3. 'Fan slap' - VS one chr - phd ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY Slim hits for 10 damage, Fatso for 20 and LB. for 15. This time I recommend getting rid of Fatso first - if he gets hasted, you'll get pummeled even more and we don't want that. As Yuna gets her turn, keep chanting Darkness Dance to keep all three enemies blinded and raise your survival chances a lot. Watch out for Fatso's spinning animation, which signifies he'll throw his shield for big damage. LB. has a fixed attack pattern - she goes 'fan slap', Sonic Fan, Love Tap, repeat. This makes LB. extremely predictable and can help you coordinate your attacks accordingly. If LB. takes strange stance and is looking in direction of your girls, she's charging up her magic attack, which hits everybody for 10 damage. Slim still doesn't have anything special to be afraid of, but don't forget to heal in time if you get low on HP. And nail their items too, if you can spare some extra turns. ***************************************************************************** ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ OUTRUN THE LEBLANC SYNDICATE! Beat the Syndicate to the top! But watch out! There's no telling what they'll do to stop you. Objective: Be the first to the top of the ruins ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ Yay, a timer! As the mission starts, memorize where the three stooges have entered the building. You have six minutes to make it to the top of the structure - for full % you must reach the top before timer runs out. Timer only ticks as you're walking around on map screen - while in battles or main menu, timer is stopped. When in control, go N and keep going until you reach a chest - steal MEGA PHOENIX. Now go left a bit and step on elevation that has a fallen 'ramp' leading somewhere up. This is a dead end, so don't go there - instead drop off this ledge to the NW and then jump up to small catwalk, then jump over the gap to reach the entrance to interior of the structure. You'll have to defeat a group of weak enemies and then you're allowed to enter. Welcome 'FR: passage'! Go N until you reach 1stcross. Go W, climb up the ledge, examine SSWT and pick [Activate it] option. Repeat the procedure for E end - both switches pressed will cause certain pillar to be lowered. Back at crossroads go N and fall into the pit - nail the chest for WHITE RING ACC. Climb back out holding S - now turn around and jump over the gap you just fell into. You will reach 2ndcross with path branching off to the E - take it. Follow the hallway using series of jumps and climbing until you get to the exit - (check you location menu and it'll read 'FR: base (upper)') outside nail the chest with RED RING ACC. Go back in 'FR: Passage', retrack to 2ndcross and this time take N path. On next screen you again have a simple hallway with combos of jumps and climbs - will pose no problem at all, just remember to keep Circle pressed. You're again outside in 'FR: Base' - go S, then W following the path until you get to fight another surprise bunch. After the battle Yuna will be standing on broken pillar, which is crossing the chasm to another side. As you cross it, hold Circle to jump on pile of rubble to reach 'FR: Spire'. Kkeep climbing up until you stand on a very tight catwalk - here waltz to the right until you reach another chest with STAR PENDANT ACC. Loot it, then backtrack a bit and continue your climb. If you were faster than three stooges, you'll see sth funny. Can I touch that too? Here's another SSP, so save your progress. LV5 is recommended to have right now to ensure easy life VS next boss. Climb up even more (getting tired of it), nail the chest with MUSCLE BELT ACC (only if you were faster than three stooges!), then walk bit right and up the stairs. Were three stooges successful in making it to the top before you did, they will make their escape about... NOW! ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - BORIS, ARACHNID species --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 480 | 0 | 26 | 1 | 300 | WKN | WKN | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH 804 | 0 | 120 | 2 | 3 | WKN | WKN | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, SLE, POI, CON, BER, CUR, STOP, DOOM, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- StarPendant*[StarPendant]| Remedy [KinesisBdge]| Antidote [StarPendant] StarPendant*[StarPendant]| 2x Remedy [KinesisBdge]| Pretty Orb [StarPendant] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Double swipe'> - VS one chr - phd, 2 hits 2.

[Power Catalyst] - on self - the longer the battle, the higher the STR ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY First boss of the game that is even remotely challenging... but not by much. Both boss' PATK hit one girl for about 45, while Sticky End hits all girls for 50 damage. Boris has a fixed attack pattern and here it is - four turns of either 'double swipe' or 'chew', with Sticky End following each fifth Boris' turn. You will know when boss is about to use Sticky End when it takes an ominous battle stance. Beware! Sticky End can induce stop, making your girls immobile - luckily it has low chance of connecting. Should stop occur anyway, heal the status with Remedies you've picked up in Celsius. If even this isn't an option, you must wait for stop to wear off. To soften up Boris, use warrior's Armor and Power Break abilities on it to reduce damage it can give *and* increase damage you can give. When you're in subsequent plays and if you're lucky enough to come across Boris when it oversouls, you may have a problem. Or not, since you'll be keeping stuff you've already gained in previous plays. Anyway - Boris will begin by using Power Catalyst on itself, and then releasing Tempus Laxit. All girls will suffer phd and be put under stop status. Have Dragonfly Orbs or Kinesis Badges to be immune (thief DSP helps too). If girls are affected, nothing you can do about it - just wait for stop to wear off. Don't take too long in nailing Boris or its power (thanks to Power Catalyst) will grow at steady rate. Applying protect will be very helpful as well. In short, OSF Boris isn't so hard, provided you have decent DEF and can guard against stop. * - AFTER the battle you'll also receive Faerie Earrings. ***************************************************************************** GAGAZET SPHERE KEY ITEM now belongs to you. Head back outside and you're back onboard 'Celsius - Bridge'. You'll see Bro lying on the floor. Talk to him and pick [Comfort him] option, then talk to Shinra - BLACK MAGE DSP is yours.

In total you will be able to choose from 15 possible destinations: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- AREA | EXPECT WHAT? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Besaid ------------------------------------------------------- Storyline m. 3 Kilika ---------------------------------------------------------------- Scene Luca ------------------------------------------------- Sidequest m. 01, Scene Mi'ihen ------------------------------------------------------------ Treasure Mushroom R. ------------------------------------------------- Sidequest m. 02 Djose ----------------------------------------------------------------- Scene Moonflow ---------------------------------------------------- Sidequest m. 03 Guadosalam ------------------------------------------------------------ Scene Thunder p. --------------------------------------------------------- Treasure Macalania ------------------------------------------------- [Sidequest m. 04] Bikanel --------------------------------------------------- [Sidequest m. 05] Bevelle --------------------------------------------------------------- Scene Calm lands ----------------------------------- Bridal m., Scene, Publicity m. Gagazet --------------------------------------------------------------- Scene Zanarkand ---------------------------------------------------- Storyline m. 4 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Storyline m. - Triggers next storyline mission and advances the story. Be advised that you cannot return to airship during some of such missions. Sidequest No. - Denotes sidequest is available in target area. [...] parenthesis denote that sidequest is 'hidden', ie you can't see it on NavMap screen. You need to beam down to target area and find the trigger which allows you to start the mission. Treasure - Visit the area and free the contents of all chests.* Scene - Area worth visiting for few extra scenes. PR Mission - Most extensive sidequest IMO. Triggered in CH1 and lasts whole game. Simply play minigames and lose credits. Bride Mission - Another extensive sidequest. Not worth your time IMO. * - Even though not indicated, all of the 15 areas you can visit contain treasure chests that can be looted. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will be making sections like these if after completing storyline mission a player is given choice of picking other destinations. Confusing? Here's what I mean... Remember after you finished first storyline mission in Luca and how you were immediately thrown into second on top of Gagazet? You weren't able to choose any other destinations but Gagazet. This is different now. When you talk to MN and enter the map of Spira, you have the choice of going to every destination you desire. To get the full experience and enjoyment out of FFX-2, I recommend visiting every location after every storyline mission to view everything there is to see. Don't wanna do that? Fret not, this is where I come in. Use the chart above to help you decide where you want to go. Want to complete every single sidequest there is to be offered before moving on with the story? Throw a quick look in the chart - areas where sidequests are available for completing will have the nice mark of 'Sidequest No.' next to it. In short, every area is worth revisiting at least once per chapter, as treasure chests are 'lurking' around to be robbed. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1A. BESAID ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEMS, ENEMIES and BESAID AREA MAP are presented in storyline mission 3. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Going to Besaid means Storyline mission 3, but we'll forfeit it for now. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2A. KILIKA ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- KILIKA AREA MAP to Kilika woods | PASSAGE CURRENTLY BLOCKED | 'K - Dona's' ----------------- 'K - res. area' | 'K - dock' SSP ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEMS - K - dock: Ether, Mana Tablet, 2x Antidote, 2x Eye Drops, Phoenix Down - K - res. area: 1500 gil, Lunar Curtain, Star Curtain, Light Curtain, 2x Holy Water ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENEMIES: None. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- On 'K. dock' aside from looting chests (contain ETHER, MANA TABLET, 2x ANTIDOTE, 2x EYE DROPS and PHOENIX DOWN), there are two points of interest you can examine. In lower right of this section you'll find a woman with two kids and monkey-like critter near her. Talk to her and you will be given a miniquest of getting Squatter Monkeys in Kilika woods (you can't enter the woods yet, so you will have to leave this for later). Then there's a shop you in NW corner with following goods... -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- KILIKA - DOCK'S SHOP Potion 50 | Twist Headband (Sleepproof) 3000 Phoenix Down 100 | White Cape (Silenceproof) 3000 Antidote 50 | Silver Glasses (Darkproof) 3000 Eye Drops 50 | Star Pendant (Poisonproof) 4000 Echo Screen 50 | Soft 50 | Holy Water 300 | -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Now enter N part of Kilika, called 'K - res. area'. On this screen climb nearby stairs, then go left. You've just found Dona's house. Heheh - enter the house after he runs off. Have a talk with Dona (at the top of her house you'll find 1500 GIL), then explore the rest of Kilika (and relieve the chests of LUNAR CURTAIN, 2x HOLY WATER, STAR CURTAIN, LIGHT CURTAIN). Then there's a huge boat in SE corner of the screen. Get aboard and you'll find a man with a camera on the boat. Talk to him and choose [Okay, thanks!] option. Note that you cannot pass the N-most gates yet. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3A. LUCA ACCESS TO SIDEQUEST MISSION 01!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- LUCA AREA MAP TO MI'IHEN | 'Outskirts' SSP | 'Square' | 'Bridge' ---- 'Theater' -- 'T - reception' | 'Basement A' SSP ---------- 'Stadium entrance' ---------------- 'Basement B' | |------------|------------| | | 'Dock 2' 'Dock 5' | | |-------- 'Dock 3' -------| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEMS - Outskirts: 2x Lunar Curtain - Square: Healing Wind GG - Dock 5: Thunder Spawn GG - Basement A: Al Bhed primer - Basement B: 5x Helm Coin, 5x Zurvan Coin, 5x Coyote Coin, 5x Flan Coin ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENEMIES: None. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay, this quest is available as soon as you obtain black mage DSP. Alarm will sound off, indicating two new HS. But who cares about that? It's time to laugh a little. Choose Luca as your destination (also, it doesn't matter how you enter)... soooo, what really went on behind the scenes prior to the concert you saw in beginning? ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ BEHIND THE SCENES Retrace Yuna's steps during her impostor's concert in Luca. The truth is out there. Find it! Objective: Learn the whole story behind the concert ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ I laughed my ass off when I saw Yuna in her outfit. After the sequence you'll be at 'L - outskirts', so go to 'L - square'. After another scene some guy will yell at Yuna (note that you can't go upstairs anymore!). From your current position go *down* and you'll find him sitting on the ground (under the flag) next to the store that sells balloons. Your job is to deliver 10 balloons to 10 people. Not a tough objective at all. Not counting the kid running around with red balloon, there's eight other people also located on this screen - give a balloon to each of them and your stock is decreased to mere 2 balloons (you need to open a window for last two). Here are their locations: - woman shaking her booty near the cart where you got balloons - kid in front of the statue - *two* people sitting on the bench adjacent to W side of the status - old woman sitting on the bench at W side of 'L - square' - man standing at extreme N of 'L - square' - two people sitting on the ground in NW corner of 'L - square' - there's a house with two monitors near two sitting people; approach the glass beneath it and press X - there's two last people MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! You also receive HEALING WIND GG! Still, there's more left to in Luca. When you beam down to Luca, you'll appear in 'Outskirts'. Nail the chest with 2x LUNAR CURTAIN by jumping to it, then go to 'Square'. Go for 'T - reception' - here you can buy music spheres (1000 gil for one) and movie spheres (2000 gil per one). Third option lets you enter the sphere theater, where you can view or listen to spheres you bought so far. Visit 'Luca - dock 5' and check out the extreme end of the dock for a chest containing THUNDER SPAWN GG. Now go to 'Basement A' and find Rin here - you'll obtain AL BHED PRIMER KEY ITEM. If you tried entering Basement B, shorty would forbid you from entering - but not anymore. Even more, he'll be nice enough to explain about Sphere Break. Choosing fourth option will pit you in a duel of Sphere Break and you will get 5x HELM COIN, 5x ZURVAN COIN, 5x COYOTE COIN, 5x FLAN COIN. Before you begin, you will be presented to more options - choose bottom one to leave or any of above for some explanation on various features. Okies, that covers this area. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4A. MI'IHEN ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- MI'IHEN AREA MAP TO MUSHROOM R. | 'Highroad - N end' ---------------- 'Highroad - oldroad, N' | | 'Highroad - newroad, N' 'Highroad - oldroad, S' SSP | 'Highroad - newroad, S' | 'H - agency, front' SSP ------------- 'H - agency' | 'Highroad - central' | 'Highroad - S' | 'Highroad - S end' SSP | TO LUCA ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEMS - MH - S end: 2x Phoenix Down, 500 gil, Circlet - MH - S: 2x Antidote - MH - cen: 2x Holy Water, Iron Bangle, 2x Potion - MH - agency, front: 2x Eye Drops - MH - newroad, S: Potion - MH - newroad, N: 2x Phoenix Down - MH - N end: 2x Budget Grenade - MH - oldroad, N: Mana Spring - MH - oldroad, S: 2x Echo Screen, 2x Soft ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENEMIES: Flan Palido, Divebeak, Fly Eye, Quadricorn, Shantak, Wild Wolf, Iron Giant, Purpurea, Bully Cap ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you enter the area (doesn't matter how), Yuna will make some comments about the past. There's a large area to explore here. You might as well use the opportunity to gain few levels and expand your item collection - use the item checklist just a bit above to get all items (for the record, all of them are found in chests!). Addressing girls dressed in grey clothes allows you to cover huge parts of Mi'ihen road against a small fee. There's three of them - one at 'MH - S end', one at 'MH - agency, front' (there's a shop here - see the goods below) and one at 'MH - N end'. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- MI'IHEN - AGENCY'S SHOP Potion 50 | Iron Bangle (HP+20%) 500 Phoenix Down 100 | Silver Bracer (MP+40%) 500 Antidote 50 | Gauntlets (STR+5, DEF+5) 2500 Eye Drops 50 | Tiara (MAG+5, MDEF+5) 2500 Echo Screen 50 | Soft 50 | Holy Water 300 | -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Important! There's an Al Bhed woman found on Mi'ihen road who can be seen together with three small machina. Talk to her - and to all other Al Bheds you see along Mi'ihen as well!!! This event is important for a major event in CH4. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5A. MUSHROOM R. ACCESS TO SIDEQUEST MISSION 02!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- MUSHROOM R. AREA MAP HQ CAN'T BE ENTERED AT THIS TIME | 'Youth HQ' SSP | 'M - plateau' | 'M - HQ lift' | 'Den of Woe'** | | | 'M - ravine 2' | | | 'M - ravine 1' SSP* -------| | 'M - ravine path' | |----------|--------------------- TO DJOSE | 'Mushroom rock' SSP | TO MI'IHEN * - While you're navigating 'M - ravine path', look for some rocks which serve as a drop off base to reach 'M - ravine'. ** - Den of Woe is currently off limits. Only way to enter this dungeon is by collecting 10 Crimson Spheres, which spans over all five story chapters. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEMS - Mushroom r.: 1000 gil - M - ravine 1: Turbo Ether, Phoenix Down, Hi-Potion - M - ravine 2: Crimson Sphere 9 - M - HQ lift: Glass Buckle, Heart of Flame GG, Favorite Outfit - Youth HQ: Restless Sleep GG ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENEMIES: Red Elemental, Coyote, Bully Cap, Tonberry ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Doesn't matter how you enter - enter 'Mushroom r.'. Ahead you'll see two goons from not long before. Go after them and a scene follows, where you're stopped by a group of soldiers - choose [You're Yaibal, of the Youth League.], then [Sure, we're game.]. Then follow Paine and Rikku to next area, but before you leave this screen, make sure to talk to Clasko to win extra %! DO NOT TURN YAIBAL DOWN when he asks you if you wanna take the job! If you do, your 100% completion went down the drain. If by any weird decision you do turn Yaibal down for now, he'll ask Clasko to show you the way to Djose road - talking to Clasko will award some %, but still this won't allow you to get 100%. If you wish to nab 1000 GIL, explore the N part of 'Mushroom r.' to find a lift, which can be activated by X, thus reaching the chest with cash inside. ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ FOGGY FIEND FRENZY! The Youth League is a bit shorthanded. Help them out by clearing out the fiends along Mushroom rock road! Fiends will attack more often under cover of fog. Proceed with caution! Objective: Reach the lift leading to headquarters ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ You'll start at 'M - ravine path'. Your objective is simple - get to the other end of the path, kill anything that tries to get in your way and reach the elevator to Youth League base. Stand on elevator and press X to rise. Quite soon you'll spot... em, henchmen from before, who will try to escape by jumping down in 'M - ravine'. Follow them all the way N (on your way you can score TURBO ETHER, PHOENIX DOWN and HI-POTION) until you reach SSP. Very close to it is an entrance to 'M - ravine 2' - after scene is over, CRIMSON SPHERE 9 KEY ITEM is yours (make sure you watch it as soon as you're aboard Celsius!) - before you turn around, make sure to examine the weird door. Turn around and... surprise! Choose [Of course I do!]. After Maroda finishes blabbing, go back to the point of 'M - ravine path' where you jumped down. When you climb back up, continue your journey N. Be careful if you encounter any Tonberries - prolly you're way underpowered to take it on, so escaping might be your best option for now. When you reach another elevator, press X again to activate it as well. On 'M - HQ lift' tag along E a bit more and soon you'll be greeted by Elma - girls receive GLASS BUCKLE ACC and HEART OF FLAME GG, as well as deserved MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! There's more! Go down from your position and get FAVORITE OUTFIT ACC. Now stand on huge elevator and press X again to rise up - then go S to reach 'M - plateau' and even further N to reach 'Youth HQ'. Look at the minimap and you'll spot a tight path on E side of it - jump down there to get RESTLESS SLEEP GG! Now proceed all the way N and captain of Chocobo Knights trio presents herself. Talk to Lucil for second time... the old chatterbox geezer will approach after Yuna finishes talking with Lucil for second time. Wait for him to sit down and talk to him - choose [By all means.]. Blah, blah, blah... *puts a bullet between his eyes and makes him five-eyes*... Whatever you do, let him finish! NEVER interrupt his blabbering, just let him talk. Put down your controller and go do something else for about five minutes before you return. Eventually he'll ask to shake Yuna's hand - choose [Of course.]. After all this babbling return all the way to 'Mushroom' - find Clasko who's situated somewhere around here (he is to the right of SSP). Talk to him and choose [The more, the merrier!] and he will now board Celsius - you need to do that for one of later missions. Back on board of 'C - bridge' talk to Shinra and choose to view Crimson Report (this is in fact Crimson Sphere 9). Also drop by Cabin and talk to Clasko. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6A. DJOSE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- DJOSE AREA MAP NO ACCESS TO CLOISTER | | | 'Living q. 1' ------------|------------ 'Living q. 2' | 'Great hall' | TO MOONFLOW 'D temple' SSP ---- 'D - reception' | | |--------------- 'D - p. road' | 'D highroad' | TO MUSHROOM R. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEMS - D - p. road: 2x Potion, Letter of Introduction - Djose temple: Phoenix Down - Great hall: Al Bhed primer - Living q. 1: Echo Screen ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENEMIES: Agama, Chocobo, Sallet, Gold Elemental, Death Dauber ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Doesn't matter how you enter - enter 'D temple' (there's PHOENIX DOWN to be scored on W end) and position Yuna at the end of the line of people you'll see in front of tent on the right (actually, you don't even need to do that - just standing still anywhere is fine too). When the man in grey robe goes in, enter 'D - reception'. Talk to the person in the middle of the room, choose [I want to dig!]. Back outside try approaching the entrance to temple - two guys will move aside, so enter 'Great hall'. AL BHED PRIMER KEY ITEM is yours to grab. Enter 'Living q. 1' and get ECHO SCREEN in the chest. Now go back outside to 'D - p. road'. Choose [We're sure.] when given choice and you'll get LETTER OF INTRODUCTION KEY ITEM (this causes HS in Bikanel to appear). Don't forget to nail 2x POTION on this screen as well! In case you want to have some fun on 'D highroad', note that there is a service of quickly being transported from one end to the other. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7A. MOONFLOW ACCESS TO SIDEQUEST MISSION 03!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- MOONFLOW AREA MAP TO GUADOSALAM | 'M - N bank road' | 'M - N wharf' | 'M - N wharf - dock' | CURRENTLY CAN'T CROSS THE MOONFLOW* | 'M - S wharf - dock' | 'M - S wharf' SSP | 'M - S bank' | 'M - S bank road' | TO DJOSE * - Until you clear sidequest mission 03, you can't ride ze shoopuf. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEMS - M - S bank: gun mage DSP, Circlet, Helios Guard GG ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENEMIES: Agama, Bandit, Chocobo, Quadricorn, Protochimera, Flan Azul, Shell Shocker, Takouba ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use the airship to beam down to Moonflow! After initial scene you have several options at your disposal. CHOOSE CAREFULLY! - If you want Enterprise (Break HP Limit AAB), you must skip this mission. In the end this means no mascot for you (Gun mage can still be won in CH2). Beware, you won't be able to get 100% completion that way. - If you want Minerva's Plate (reduces STR by -80, doubles MAX MP and gives +100 to MAG, Turbo Black Magic, but always pointless status), then you MUSTN'T talk to Tobli! You must also ensure that all five bags are safe! Both gun mage and mascot can be won in the end. Beware, you won't be able to get 100% completion that way. - If you want Key to Success, you can either do this mission or skip it. You will get gun mage, but not mascot. 100% in one game is impossible, too. - If you want neither of above three acc, complete this mission perfectly. Gun mage, mascot and 100% completion are possible. Talk to red midget you'll see running about on 'M - S bank'... - whats's that shining in his arms? When done talking, you should proceed to 'M - S bank road'. Keep going S until you see someone yelling for help. You'll spot lonely Hypello together with chocobo pulling a cart. Talk to Hypello to start the mission. In the event that you're walking to Moonflow from Djose area, you'll run into that Hypello first, who'll be yelling for help. DO NOT talk to him, instead proceed forward to Moonflow river - here talk to red midget to get the % you need for 100%. ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ SHAVE THE HYPELLO? If bandits grab the cargo, chase them down and take it back! You'll lose the cargo if they get away. Objective: Escort the wagon and its cargo safely to the Moonflow ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ Your objective is to protect the cart from several thieves that will try to steal its contents. During the trip a total of five thieves will attempt to rob the cart - coming in waves of 1, 2 and 2. If thieves manage to snatch one package (there's five of them total boarded on the cart), all is not lost - pursue the thieves and kill them to get the goods back. Simply killing them will make stolen package magically appear back on cart. Alrighty, mission has started. Go in front of the cart and start heading NE in direction of Moonflow. A scene occurs... nothing you can do about getting first package stolen. Thieves will attempt to escape SW, so make pursuit. This is important - when you catch up to them, *you must press X button*. This will stop them in their tracks and initiate a battle. Kill them all, then return to the cart. Go ahead of it to make it move again. Soon another scene ensues - this time two groups of thieves try their luck. Unlike before, it is possible to dispatch both groups before they even get to the cart. Remember to press X to start the battle when close to them! When you get to part of road with big tree on the left, cart will stop. Make few steps forward to have the cart appear further ahead on the road. Cart will keep going by itself, so just look out that you keep up with it. Last two groups of thieves will appear - one from front, one from behind. Dispatch the ones from front straight away, then turn around immediately and pursue the other group, who most likely will manage to grab a package. Few more steps S and you've reached Moonflow. As a sign of gratitude red midget hands over GUN MAGE DSP, CIRCLET ACC and HELIOS GUARD GG. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Keep around or return to Celsius, your choice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8A.

Huge chateau with red doors is currently off-limits to you. Try entering the Farplane, which is located in NE corner of Guadosalam - a scene will occur. Check everything else as well. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- GUADOSALAM - SHOP Potion 50 | Pearl Necklace (Pointlessproof) 4000 Antidote 50 | Angel Earrings (Deathproof) 5000 Eye Drops 50 | Gold Anklet (Stoneproof) 5000 Echo Screen 50 | Kinesis Badge (Slow-, Stopproof) 10000 Soft 50 | Mute Shock (Silencetouch, Silence ACTA) 15000 Holy Water 300 | Venom Shock (Poisontouch, Bio ACTA) 15000 -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9A.

After the scene go E from the SSP to 'MW - To Bevelle' and past Bevelle guards to 'MW - to Calm'. On this screen go S to 'MW - spring 1'. Talk to fat musician Donga here. Return to 'MW - south' and take the shiny path until you come to 'MW - lake road'. Now take SW exit to 'MW - north 1' and walk along the path until you spot Pukutak, the third musician you need to address. Return to 'MW - lake road' and take NE exit to 'MW - spring 2' - on this screen seek out a man wearing pink-green coat. This is Tromell. Talk to him four times total and he hands over FULL THROTTLE SDSP as well as UNERRING PATH GG. Quick instructions on how to use SDSP will follow. Back to 'MW - lake road' and take NW exit to 'MW - agency, f' for a scene, after which you receive AL BHED PRIMER KEY ITEM. O'aka, seeing that (you can talk to him, if your reactions are fast enough; if you fail, fret not, it does not affect %), will flee back into the forest. Next to the house is a chest with HI-POTION. Turn around, follow O'aka and mission starts. ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ FOLLOW THAT O'AKA! O'aka is on the run from debt collectors. Go hunt him down, but stay on your toes! He's faster than the average merchant. Objective: Find O'aka and corner him ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ From 'MW - agency, f' take SW exit to reach 'MW - north 1'. Follow the path until you get to the section where rather big tree is covering part of path. O'aka is behind it, so when you're near the tree, press X to have him escape ahead to 'MW - central 1'. He'll be in plain sight here, but still trying to elude Yuna to prevent her from catching up with him. Progress on to the next screen (on the way loot the chest for WHITE RING ACC). Keep going until you reach 'MW - south'. You may consider saving your game now. On this screen go E to reach 'MW - to Bevelle' - here ignore the guards and press on further E. 'MW - to Calm' screen has another multiple exits - take N one for 'MW - campsite'. Now talk to both Rikku and Paine to get a vague idea of where O'aka is hiding. Examine NW corner - after the scene talk to O'aka and choose [Let's hide him on the airship!] to get ICE QUEEN GG. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! What's in it for you if you let O'aka aboard the ship? He's located in 'C - cabin'. When you talk to him, you'll notice a gil amount in upper right - that's O'aka's debt. In first game the debt consists of 100000 gil. If you don't clear whole amount by the end of CH2, the amount you did clear off carries on to next playthru, but you receive a penalty of 1000 gil, which is added to O'aka's debt. O'aka doesn't sell anything hot, but that's not the point. Reduce his debt all the way down by buying stuff from him - when you do that, his prices will be reduced big-time! Hi-Potion will be sold for measly 50 gil as opposed to 500. You can also rack up easy gil by buying Hi-Potions from O'aka and then selling them to Hypello nearby. That way you can slowly, but surely increase your gil. In any case, make sure you reduce his debt by the end of CH2! -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- O'AKA - CELSIUS SHOP ITEMS (before debt is reduced) | ITEMS (after debt is reduced) Potion 49 | Potion 5 Hi-Potion 490 | Hi-Potion 50 Phoenix Down 98 | Phoenix Down 10 Antidote 49 | Antidote 5 Eye Drops 49 | Eye Drops 5 Echo Screen 49 | Echo Screen 5 Soft 49 | Soft 5 Holy Water 294 | Holy Water 30 -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- In the event you've decided to turn O'aka over to Al Bhed, all is not lost. You still receive Ice Queen GG, but O'aka disappears until CH3, when there's an event in Bikanel where you can find him again. More details on this case can be found in CH3 part of the walkthru. Finally, you can learn a great blue bullet skill in this area - inflict confusion on Haizhe with Full Throttle's Crazy Wing ability and it may use Mighty Guard on your party of gun mages. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11A. BIKANEL ACCESS TO SIDEQUEST MISSION 05!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALERT! - EXCEPT FOR SQ-MISSION 05, NEVER EVER DO ANY DIGGING! IF YOU SIMPLY MUST, THEN TAKE CARE NOT TO EXCAVATE YELLOW X ITEM - DOING SO POWERS UP A CERTAIN BOSS IN CH5. IF YOU DO IT TOO MUCH, KISS YOUR 100% COMPLETION BYE. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- BIKANEL AREA MAP 'Western expanse' | SPEAK TO PILOT AFTER NHADALA AGREES TO LET YOU DIG | 'BD - west 1' SSP | AFTER GIRLS PASS OUT, NO ACCESS ANYMORE TO 'BD - west 2' | 'BD - west 2' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEMS - BD - west 1: Al Bhed primer, Elixir, Still of Night GG ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENEMIES: Angra Mainyu, Bolt Drake, Fly Eye, Hrimthurs, Chocobo, Killer Hound ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you enter the area for the first time, you're bound to get that deja-vu feeling... where to go? Just follow Rikku... You will fall into few battles (not even No Encounters AAB prevents them) before three girls pass out. You'll soon find yourself in Al Bhed camp as well as receive AL BHED PRIMER KEY ITEM. There's no way to leave but using SSP to beam aboard 'Celsius'. There's a locked chest 'guarded' by a fat guy - this chest can only be opened in CH5, if you're in possession of Desert Key. Person next to SSP sells stuff, so restock if you need. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- BIKANEL DESERT SHOP Potion 50 | Fiery Gleam (Firestrike) 3000 Phoenix Down 100 | Red Ring (Fire Ward, Fire ACTA) 3000 Antidote 50 | Eye Drops 50 | Echo Screen 50 | Soft 50 | Holy Water 300 | -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- If you're in possession of Letter of Introduction, you can now trigger a scene in upper-right corner. After that find two male Al Bheds that are 'talking' to each other, talk to them both and then address them again. You'll see another scene, where Nhadala will come flying on some machine. She's now pacing back and forth on right of the screen. Talk to her and choose [I've got this letter...] to start the mission. ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ CAN YOU DIG IT? Dig up the machina parts that Nhadala asked you to find in the desert and transport them safely to camp. Objective: Dig up and deliver the needed parts ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ Talk to pilot now and choose [Western Expanse]. You'll be introduced to Picket, who will be your faithful partner during your digs. In a nutshell, you have one minute to excavate an item marked by a yellow cross, which will appear on your mini map. Really easy, believe you me. All you have to do is to move Yuna to yellow cross and she will excavate the item hidden beneath automatically. Digging up at white crosses will usually award you with some gil, items or even enemies to fight. You're not alone in your digging attempts - there is one other digger that will try to beat you to buried treasure, so you need to move fast. As soon as you've found what you're looking for, head back to the hover before the time limit reaches zero. Picket will also warn you if you go too far away from the hover. When you find yellow cross item, return to the hover which brought you here and you'll automatically return to 'BD - west 1'. You're rewarded with ELIXIR and STILL OF NIGHT GG, as well as receive MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! You may now indulge in digging minigame, scoring primers, items, coins etc. You know a strange machine (back in Djose temple, in one of side rooms) that you examine and ask for a raise? NGCKE comments that you must dig three times minimum before you can try asking for raise again. BTW, if you run into an enemy with super high HP, don't be alarmed. It'll eject you from battle after few turns have passed - this *isn't* game over! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12A.

If you want to get both GG from doing Publicity campaign, I highly advise you gain at least 400+ points for both companies *before* CH5. If you're going to collect PR points in CH5 as well, choose well which company will you advertise for in CH3. Doesn't matter how you enter - first point of interest are three hovers scattered throughout the area. One is located in SW part of Calm lands (Note 1), second can be found in N part (Note 2) and third one in NE part (Note 3). Left person standing in front of the hover is from Open Air company, while the right person represents Argent company. Here's a breakdown on their offers and stuffs before you start doing anything with their publicity campaign. Note 1 - features Lupine Dash minigame LEFT PERSON | RIGHT PERSON Play Lupine Dash | Play Lupine Dash Rules of the game | Rules of the game Buy credits | Buy credits Trade in credits | Trade in credits Ride hover | Ride hover Publicity menu | Publicity menu Never mind. | Never mind. First and second choice for both lists are pretty self-explanatory, right? Third one allows you to buy credits in ratio 10 gil for 1 credit. Fourth option lets you exchange credits for available prizes (see Note 4 below). Fifth option lets you ride the hover to various parts of Calm lands for 10 credits (you can choose to be transported to: either of two other minigames, Rin agency, entrance to Macalania or entrance to Gagazet). Sixth option lets you choose whether or not you wish to undertake the Publicity mission (explained in later updates). If you wish to get Episode Complete for this area in CH5 and mascot DSP, UNDERTAKE PUBLICITY MISSION NOW! Seventh option cancels the menu altogether. Note 2 - features Sky Slots minigame LEFT PERSON | RIGHT PERSON Play Sky Slots | Play Sky Slots Rules of the game | Rules of the game Buy credits | Buy credits Trade in credits | Trade in credits Ride hover | Ride hover Publicity menu | Publicity menu Never mind. | Never mind.

Talk to the representative of Open Air and select to trade in 5000 gil for 500 credits. With those credits buy Charm Bangle acc - with this equipped you eliminate any and all random encounters (except event battles). What used to be a Monster Arena two years ago (take E exit from Calm lands), is now given a completely different purpose. Unfortunately you can't enter it yet nor can do anything about it - you must wait until CH2. Then there's the cave of smelly faith, which you also can't enter at this point. Need to wait, you must. Thirdly, visit Rin agency in the middle of Calm Lands. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- CALM LANDS - RIN AGENCY SHOP Potion 50 | Iron Bangle (HP+20%) 500 Phoenix Down 100 | Silver Bracer (MP+40%) 500 Antidote 50 | Wristband (STR+10) 1000 Eye Drops 50 | Amulet (MAG+10) 1000 Echo Screen 50 | Soft 50 | Holy Water 300 | -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Talk to the guy behind the counter to the right of SSP. Another guy sitting down can be seen - apparently he's waiting for someone to be his... bride? Choose first option twice to initiate this sidequest mission. Like Publicity mission, it spans over more CH-s. And unlike Publicity mission, bridal mission isn't needed for % completion or getting Episode complete. Also I'd advise not to bother with bridal mission - all you get in the end is Elixir or Speed Bracer. Once you have used the hover services ten times, you'll be awarded with CALM LANDS DISCOUNT PASS KEY ITEM, which reduces the price from 10 to 5 credits per hovertrip. Finally, you can learn a great blue bullet skill in this area - inflict confusion on Coeurl with Full Throttle's Crazy Wing ability and it may use White Wind on your party of gun mages. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14A.

During the scene pick [We'll take care of Lian and Ayde.]. Don't choose anything else but this. After scene is finished, talk to everyone, including Kimahri (you have to address him twice) on 'G - mountain gate' screen and pick following responses: - [You have to learn to deal with these things!] - pick this!!! - [I will never forget their sacrifice.] - [Leave it to the Gullwings!] - [I wouldn't forgive them either.] - [I can imagine how you must feel...] - [I'm sure you're right.] - [A change for the better, I hope.] - this guy is in 'G - mountain c1' I'm sure the lot of you are now confused at why should you choose these and not others. Let me list the reasons which will make you *want* these: in CH3 you'll be awarded trainer DSP if Kimahri's self-esteem is high. Additionally, these choices affect certain boss battle in CH3. And lastly, Ronsos will build something for Yuna in CH5. Have Kimahri's self-esteem and Ronso's trust too low? No trainer DSP for you, boss battle will be harder and Yuna won't get the thing in CH5 as well. Now let's explore this huge mountain. Behind Kimahri you'll spot a teleporter with following destinations: 'Mountain Trail', 'Fayth Scar 1' and 'Summit'. Choose whatever you wish, or go for some climbing if you want EXP, cash and items (but none that can be found in treasure chests). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15A. ZANARKAND ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEMS, ENEMIES and ZANARKAND AREA MAP are presented in storyline mission 4. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Going to Zanarkand means Storyline mission 4, but we'll forfeit it for now.

Enter Besaid! After the scene you'll want to do some exploring. Enter 'B - shop' first, talk to female shopkeeper and pick first option for the wares... -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- BESAID SHOP Potion 50 | Watery Gleam (Waterstrike) 3000 Phoenix Down 100 | Blue Ring (Water Ward, Water ACTA) 3000 Antidote 50 | Eye Drops 50 | Echo Screen 50 | Soft 50 | Holy Water 300 | -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Choosing [Any rare finds?] will make her offer you something for 900000 gil. Woooooot? Anyway, if you've paid off O'aka's debt already (please refer to section 21 in this guide), I'm sure you have large amounts of cash, so buying this shouldn't be a problem, eh? You receive BESAID KEY KEY ITEM. This key item unlocks the chest found in 'B - monks' chamber'. Use it to receive SEARCH SPHERE. Search Sphere only works on this island. If you leave it, you'll have to return to same room and regain Search Sphere if you wish to use it again. If shopkeeper says the key has been sold to the traveler (in which case you may opt to get it for free during a subquest in Calm lands in CH3), you may want to reload the game and inquire about the key again. If luck is on your side, key will be offered for buying again (submitted by Kathi P.). Britain W. comments: During the "Where's Wakka" Mission at Besaid in Chapter 1, you first need 900000 Gil of course. Save your game ON TWO SAVES. Use the first one to buy the Key. You will need the 900000 gil to buy the key and to get the search sphere in chapter 1. Next, find 4 cipher sets to open the first door (the one you open to get INTO the cave), you can memorize these or write them down. Now, go get the other four ciphers with the search sphere like you would normally. Find the four numbers and write them down, and I personally would go inside the cave and make sure you have the correct numbers. Now, RESET your PS2, load up the 2nd save, and go strait to the door. The thing is, the numbers work for your game's playthru. Even if you load the 2nd without any numbers, the ones from the first save are EXACTLY the same. You are up 900000 Gil, only thing you don't have right now is the key item, which you can get later in Chapter 3 if you must. But, you are able to open both doors without spending the 900000 and you can get both the Ether and the Raging Giant Garment Grid for FREE! Enter middle house on the right - inside you'll find female bustier of first posse. After long chat follow Lu back into Wakka's house. Talk to her and choose [Yes, I'd love to.] - when you wake up, Lu will be outside. Get out of Wakka's house and again talk with Lu and pick [We're on the case!]. ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ WHERE'S WAKKA? Wakka sure is acting weird. And now he's gone off to some cave? Gather clues from the villagers and track him down! Maybe you'll find treasure along the way... Objective: Find Wakka, and maybe something else... ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ You'll need to look for four clues scattered across Besaid - all clues together give password to unlock a certain door. You're supposed to talk to people to learn about hints, but why bother? All four ciphers will be marked in your minimap, sa save yourself the trouble and get out of the village. FIRST FOUR-CIPHER-SET Get out of Besaid, and walk up the slope until you reach 'B - promontory'. Notice red shape in your minimap? Examine it to learn first cipher. From here go to 'B - ancient r.' - stand close to right pillar and press Circle to climb onto it. Up there mash X to learn fourth cipher. Get down, then proceed N again to 'B - waterfall way 1'. Just as you're about to reach first bridge, go to the left of it and fall down - get 2x CHOCOBO WING. Climb back up, then proceed going E to reach 'B - crossroads'. Here you will find password sealed door. You need to input four-digit number to unlock the door - we found two already, but need to locate two more, so head for 'B - beach'. Immediately as you enter, press left - you'll see a person standing on a cliff. Hold Circle and you'll climb the cliff - continue climbing to red sign on minimap for your third cipher. Don't return yet! Continue along and after some jumping you'll reach secluded beach with two chests containing HI-POTION and 1000 GIL. Now return all the way back and check out the other end of the beach. You'll notice final red symbol on the minimap - with help of Circle button you'll learn second cipher. BTW, password is changed with each playthru, so I can't help you if you're looking just for the number. Back to password door, where you should punch in the number in order for door to open. Access granted! SECOND FOUR-CIPHER-SET Now let's take care of opening the second password protected door you found (or will find) in 'B - cave'. The four ciphers used for this door are DIFFERENT than ones you used to enter the cave initially. Remember that if you leave the island, you have to go get Search Sphere again from 'B - nuns' chambers'. Reward may not be great, but I assure you that being able to cast Confuse on the enemies leads to some awesome results, which I'll be frequently exploiting during this guide. Of course, if you don't wish to be bothered doing this now, you're perfectly welcome to try gaining cash and GG in later CH-s. When you exit the temple, you'll notice a blue orb in lower right of the screen. Press and hold Circle when walking around - a blue bar will eject from blue orb. Use the blue orb in combination with blue bar to find four special spheres scattered across Besaid. When you're fairly close to the sphere, the blue bar will start 'pulsating' - closer you are, harder the pulse. When you're almost on top of the sphere, blue bar will flash red. Now press X and Yuna will dig out the special sphere. Stand on top of it and press X yet again to enter camera view (directionals move camera around, R1 zooms in thrice and then resets, while Square leaves this screen). 1st commSphere: Enter the path between 'B - shop' and 'B - lodge'. Path appears greyed out on minimap. Press and hold X to dig out the sphere buried here (in the ruined structure). Use the sphere and direct it toward the roof of Besaid temple. Above the entrance you'll spot a green ball with a number written on it. Mark it down. 2nd commSphere: Enter 'B - village slope'. Take a look at the minimap, as my directions for this sphere will be based on it! Sphere is hidden in the ground to the S of SSP. Stand on newly uncovered sphere, and direct the sphere to upper left of the screen. You'll see the green ball with second number above a bunch of trees. 3rd commSphere: This one will require a bit of searching on your part. You know 'B - waterfall way 1'? Stand at the first bridge and turn SW (according to minimap directions). Now slowly start walking to SW and count the poles on Yuna's right. When you come to 12th pole, start digging! Sphere is hidden somewhere around there. When you uncover it, direct the view just below right waterfall - green ball hiding third number is there. 4th commSphere: Enter 'B - valley' screen and go NE (according to minimap yet again) as far as you can and press X to uncover final sphere. Direct the view a bit to the right. Now pay attention - in the distance you'll see small lonely palm tree. Zoom in thrice and you'll spot the green ball right away. Mark down final number. Now that you have all the numbers, head to 'B - cave'. As soon as you enter, turn right at 1stcross, examine the SSWT, punch in the code and enter new part of dungeon. Collect ETHER along the way. At the end you'll find Yuna to be above the waterfalls - hike left as far as you can and nail the chest, which contains RAGING GIANT GG. CONTINUING THE STORYLINE MISSION... Inside 'B - cave' you'll find Wakka - approach him to trigger a sequence. After the scene go W and follow the corridor until another scene occurs (in case you still didn't progress past eastern wall, do so now). At 2ndcross go SW to reach a chest, which should be looted. Return to 2ndcross and continue N by jumping over few gaps - this will be followed by small end stretch on which you can find SSP and another special sphere. Be at Lv7 or higher now. Once you approach that sphere and press X... ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - FLAME DRAGON, DRAGON species --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 980 | 84 | 60 | 1 | 300 | HLV | WKN | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH 1883 | 84 | 180 | 2 | 350 | HLV | WKN | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, CON, [BER], CUR, STOP, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Red Ring [Red Ring] | Hi-Potion [4xHi-Potion]| Fire Gem [NulBlazRing] Red Ring [Red Ring] | 2xHi-Potion[4xHi-Potion]| Fire Gem [CrimsonRing] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Swipe'> - VS one chr - phd 2. - FATT VS all chrs - fire mgd, arc attack 3. [Gathering strength...] - charge up move for Bruiser Tail 4. [Bruiser Tail] - FRATTP VS all chrs - fractional phd, tears off 37,5% MAX HP, delays hit girls' next turn, arc attack ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY If you've been fluently attempting sidequests, here's the ultimate setup: Heart of Flame GG (complete Foggy Fiend Frenzy! quest), Icy Gleam acc (from a chest in Macalania woods) and using warrior's Sentinel. Flame Dragon will open this battle by using Flame Breath on your party, which hits all for 200 damage (absorb damage with Heart of Flame or halve it by Red Ring acc). Its 'swipe' hits for 50 damage. To start the battle in your favor, square off by using Power and Magic Break of warrior job, followed by ice element PATK. Using regular PATK will take too long. I've noticed something that can further tip odds in your favor - boss' swipe is used against the girl with highest current HP. So if you keep one girl's HP as high as possible, it will be only her that will suffer from attacks. Additionally, change her into warrior and have her execute Sentinel at all times to be taking 1 damage from each 'swipe'. However, be on your toes before the end of battle - when boss loses hass 99 or less HP remaining, it'll charge up its Flame Breath once again. Heal in time... but this is obviously not needed if you're equipped with Heart of Flame GG. Battling Flame Dragon becomes more interesting in its OSF - it will start the battle by charging a turn for Bruiser Tail. Use the time you're given to attack it mercilessly - leave no space for being slow. Bruiser belongs to type of attacks you'll be hating in this game - it deals fractional damage, ie damage based on current or MAX HP, in this case MAX HP. Luckily you can reduce it with protect, but be advised - it won't always be so. Take note to heal regularly if Flame Dragon frequently tosses Bruisers your way. You can help yourself by inducing darkness on it, thus reducing the chances for it to hit you. As for Flame Breath in OSF form - it is used irregularly and there's no way to predict it. ***************************************************************************** After defeating Flame Dragon you obtain WHITE MAGE DSP. Head back to the entrance of this cave and approach Wakka to trigger a scene. BESAID SPHERE KEY ITEM is yours, as well as PROTECTION HALO GG.

You will be denied access further by some girl, so what do you do? Go up the slope on your right and as far N as you can... if you played FFX, a familiar figure stands up here. During the convo a choice presents itself - choose [Of course I remember!]. After the convo go down the slope and leave this screen by going NW. On 'Z - dome 1' simply go N - you'll view a scene on 'Z - dome 2'.

After stocking proceed N to 'Dome - interior'. Another scene, after which you should follow the path which winds N... After seeing another scene with kids (make sure you pick [Sure I do!]) proceed further - you'll run into one of the goons, who will initiate an easy fight. After the fight proceed further and you'll reach 1stcross - take rightmost branch for a chest with MEGA PHOENIX, then backtrack a bit and continue N. On your way you'll initiate next fight (doesn't matter what choice you pick), loot another chest for PHOENIX DOWN and engage into another fight until you finally reach 'Dome - corridor'. This screen is loaded with people and chests, which have already been looted. Don't examine small critters too often, as some steal gil from you (well, it's only like 2 or 3 gil at the most). Up the stairs and into 'Dome - cloister 1' we goooo! Go thru doors in upper left corner to 'Dome - cloister 2' and then go left - a scene will occur. Now you need to use the lift in the middle of the room to be taken down to 'Dome - chamber'. Use SSP found below, then proceed NW - you'll find Yuna's uncle in the next room, so talk to him (if you choose [Not really.] when prompted, this will cause Cid NOT to appear in Thunder plains in CH2, but rather in CH3; choosing [You bet I do!] option will trigger Cid to appear in Thunder plains in CH2, and CH3 as well (you'll have to talk to him at both occassions); CHOOSE [You bet I do!]!!!). Now talk to the chubby guy as well - doing this will grant access to 'Dome - great hall'. Loot 6 chests for REMEDY, 2x REMEDY, ETHER, ELIXIR, HI-POTION and PHOENIX DOWN. Go N to 'Dome - the beyond'... After a scene go up and another scene will occur. When given choice, pick second option (if playing japanese version) or fifth option (if playing US version), which is [Is that you, Isaaru?] - this will grant you HEART REBORN GG. When blahblah has settled down, use the stairs leading down on N-most end of the room to reach 'Dome - treasure c.'. What do you know, a dungeon. Beware, Behemoths lurk around here. It's a simple tunnel with lots of jumping and climbing... nothing you haven't encountered before. When you see a square shaped room on your minimap, get ready! Turn Yuna into white mage (make sure she has learned Cura) and reach LV9 with your girls. ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - GUARDIAN BEAST, SACRED BEAST species --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 2886 | 1000 | 170 | 1 | 200 | WKN | WKN | WKN | WKN | IMM | WKN 4030 | 1000 | 380 | 2 | 380 | WKN | WKN | WKN | WKN | IMM | WKN ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, POI, CON, [BER], CUR, STOP, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Amulet [PixieDust] | DefenseVeil[MysteryVeil]| Oath Veil [Oath Veil] Amulet [PixieDust] | DefenseVeil[MysteryVeil]| Oath Veil [Oath Veil] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Swipe'> - VS one chr - phd 2.

[Eyeing Paine...] - will now focus any further attacks on Paine ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY Here's the recommended setup for this fight: Mythril Gloves acc (buy in Zanarkand shop), any type of acc that grants elemental strike properties, Helios Guard GG - pass thru red gate to obtain Auto-Protect, Raging Giant GG - pass thru yellow and blue gates to obtain Berserktouch - then inflict berserk on Guardian Beast to never see Curse and Damocles Photon. But do note that it is quite resistant to berserk; if you have thief with mastered Soul Swipe, use it instead. It works like a charm. One of greatest nightmares makes its return. Fortunately, it's way easier than it was in first release. It's very predictable *and* it has an attack pattern it strictly follows as well. Its swipe gets one for about 100 damage, and Damocles Photon hits all girls for 1/2 of each girl's MAX HP. Use Cura on all girls immediately! If it uses Curse, let it be. You just concentrate onto wasting the boss before damage piles up too high for you to handle. It's also very commendable to break this boss in various aspects, most significantly in power field to lessen damage it does even further. Now that I've covered damage aspects, let me fill you in on boss' attack pattern. It will use three swipes in a row, then use Curse on one girl - rinse and repeat. If all three girls are cursed, boss no longer uses this attack. Furthermore, once you bring its HP to 962 HP or below, you'll start seeing Damocles Photon, its most dangerous attack. Attack pattern is implemented again - three swipes, followed by Damocles Photon, then repeat. Note that damage from Damocles Photon can be halved by shell status. As you can see from info I've dug up, you're fairly safe until boss loses 2/3 of its HP. Up to that point you need to worry about keeping your HP only above 250 HP (just in case it manages to pull a critical on your girls). But as soon as it enters Damocles Photon phase, pull out all the healing you can and cast Shell on all girls. Get that white mage out now. Still problems beating the crap out of it? If it becomes OSF - you have very easy battle on your hands. Take note of who will Beast start to eye (just so you know, Yuna's mine), then protect her quickly. Now be careful - Beast will use 'swipe' against targeted girl four times, and will then use Photon on fifth turn. Afterwards it'll eye same girl or another girl yet again, and so we enter an endless stream of fixed attack pattern. ***************************************************************************** You will receive SPHERE FRAGMENT KEY ITEM after the battle.

No way to go but Kilika, so... Engage! If you've already been to Kilika before, then please skip next two paragraphs. On 'K. dock' aside from looting chests (contain ETHER, MANA TABLET, 2x ANTIDOTE, 2x EYE DROPS and PHOENIX DOWN), there are two points of interest you can examine. In lower right of this section you'll find a woman with two kids and monkey-like critter near her. Talk to her and you will be given a miniquest of getting Squatter Monkeys in Kilika woods (you can't enter the woods yet, so you will have to leave this for later). Then there's a shop you in NW corner with following goods... -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- KILIKA - DOCK'S SHOP Potion 50 | Twist Headband (Sleepproof) 3000 Phoenix Down 100 | White Cape (Silenceproof) 3000 Antidote 50 | Silver Glasses (Darkproof) 3000 Eye Drops 50 | Star Pendant (Poisonproof) 4000 Echo Screen 50 | Soft 50 | Holy Water 300 | -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Now enter N part of Kilika, called 'K - res. area'. On this screen climb nearby stairs, then go left. You've just found Dona's house. Heheh - enter the house after he runs off. Have a talk with Dona (at the top of her house you'll find 1500 GIL), then explore the rest of Kilika (and relieve the chests of LUNAR CURTAIN, 2x HOLY WATER, STAR CURTAIN, LIGHT CURTAIN). Then there's a huge boat in SE corner of the screen. Get aboard and you'll find a man with a camera on the boat. Talk to him and choose [Okay, thanks!] option. Nothing else left to do but to go to N gates of 'K - res. area' - you'll be let thru the gates automatically and mission starts! ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ AWESOME SPHERE HEIST! Break through the checkpoints in the woods and at the temple steps. Once you're in, acquire the sphere that New Yevon's been hiding in the temple! Objective: Capture the awesome sphere ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ At the clearing go N and you're inside Kilika Woods. Save at SSP nearby, then go left at 1stcross (going up or right is useless, as it's a dead end). Keep at lefting until you see somebody run across the log to NE. Follow the suite by taking somewhat hidden path beneath that log at 2ndcross. As you reach 3rdcross, keep going N. At 4thcross go E first until you're stopped by two soldiers. Back at 4thcross go N - when given choice, select [Just a little peak.], and then [More, more!]. Back to 4thcross go E, and at 5thcross go S first until you get to two trees bending over the water. Second tree bending over the water is your cue - a mark to press Circle will appear in lower right, so do it. Get MEGALIXIR up here. Now returtn to 5thcross and go N to reach SSP... BTW, remember the woman in Kilika which asked about bringing her 13 monkeys? You can nail them all now, but do note that you cannot return to Kilika until CH3. So why not use the chance now and capture all of them? As you're making your way around the woods, pay attention to noises. If you HEAR something similar to chirping, press X and you will find Squatter Monkey. Repeat until all 13 are in your possession. Back to walkthru... SSP, which of course you'll use. I recommend being at LV12 at this point of game. Now it's time to play guess-da-pass. First batch of soldiers can be dispatched by selecting [Craven Monkey!] - onto next screen (note that if you answer incorrectly, you will have to fight them instead)! Second batch can be avoided by selecting [Carved Monkey!] - you will get HI- POTION, third by selecting [Craven Monkey!] - you will get ETHER, and last batch by selecting [Carved Monkey!] TWICE! If you manage to clear thru without fighting, you will now get TURBO ETHER and MENACE OF THE DEEP GG! One last attempt at climbing the stairs... ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - YSLS-ZERO, DEFENDER species --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 1935 | 0 | 350 | 1 | 1000 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH 4831 | 0 | 610 | 2 | 1200 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, POI, CON, BER, CUR, STOP, DOOM, ACTIC ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL NOTES ----------------------------- When oversouled, it loses immunity to silence, poison and curse.

[OFF Mode] - after being in selected mode for three turns, it switches back to using 'punch', Haymaker and Blast Punch ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY Here's what I usually use in this battle and you should too if you've been fluently completing sidequests: two Mythril Gloves acc (bought from Zanarkand shop), girls as warriors, and possibly gun mage with White Wind and Mighty Guard. Usually starts the battle with Blast Punch. Ah, the memories... But we have to make due without Provoke... ok, here's the beef. White mage starts by casting Protect on all girls (or use Mighty Guard if you've learned it), then she keeps casting Cure/Cura on all three each and every turn (in case of gun mage use White Wind). YSLS-Zero won't hesitate in using Haymaker, which packs a big punch. When you see it charging for an attack, it means it'll use Blast Punch - beware, this attack is quite dangerous, for it tears off 1/2 of target girl's MAX HP and damage cannot be reduced by shell or protect - so it's in your best interest to keep your HP above half at all times. On top it delays hit girl's next turn a lot. BTW, YSLS-Zero doesn't have a set attack pattern. Apart from that, stay healed, stay protected and stay victorious. In OSF state Zero is far more predictable, esp by letting you know which attacks it'll use. Zero gains the ability to inflict poison and silence on your girls with moves called Silence Mode and Bio Mode. When it enters either mode, your party will be hit with three punches carrying respective NEGSE. In addition these type of punches will reduce hit girl's HP by 1/8, meaning you can be hit with it eight times before being KO-ed. When the punching is used three times, OFF Mode move is issued. Still, do not get careless, as Zero still has the ability to use Blast Punch and Haymaker - keeping HP up should be one priority. Incidentally, you can inflict silence and poison on Zero yourself. Silence is kinda useless (this fiend doesn't use magic), but poison can be quite good - for each HP you tear off, YRP is closer to victory. ***************************************************************************** With this Storyline Mission 5 has come to an end.

You now need to push the guys into the elevator - start with Tobli. It can be a pest, but persevere, the reward is worth the effort you'll put into it. Once you get the midget in, push trumpet guy into the lift, followed by harp guy and finally drum guy. Good job! Now here's the catch: if you're playing japanese FFX-2, you get CAT NIP ACC (when girl is low on HP, everything deals 9999 damage), but if you're playing US version, you get ENTERPRISE ACC. A bunch of scenes will follow - when Yuna wakes up, restock if need be and head for the bridge now. Talk to Bro to initiate a choice - [I've decided.] advances the story and two HS appear on NavMap. Note that you won't be able to choose any other destination for now! a) If you choose Mushroom R. - after long scenes you'll be aboard Celsius. Oh joy, LB. annoys us again - LEBLANC'S SPHERE KEY ITEM is yours.

Then you can score 3x POTION and 2x ETHER in 'B - cave', but latter only if you have found second set of four ciphers using Search Sphere. Return to Besaid Aurochs, talk to either of them and when prompted, choose [You're on, Beclem.]... ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ RUN THE GUNNER'S GAUNTLET! Gun down fiends and make your way to the beach within the time limit! Score high and put Beclem's record to shame! Objective: Score more than 500 points and make your way to the beach ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ This mission is more of a minigame. Your objective is to rack more than 500 points in a game called Gunner's Gauntlet. Unfortunately for you I will need to direct you to another part of my guide, section 19, where all details for this minigame are included. You have 7 minutes to make it to Besaid beach. Sounds easy, eh? Well, it's not easy since you have to be better than 500 points in order to have this MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! If you manage to score more than 500 points, you also score ENIGMA PLATE GG. After completing the sidequest mission you can attempt Gunner's Gauntlet yet again for higher levels and more prizes, which are: POWER WRIST ACC, SILVER BRACER ACC, TITANIUM BANGLE ACC, MORTAL COIL GG, BEADED BROOCH ACC, DIAMOND GLOVES ACC, FAERIE EARRINGS ACC and ADAMANTITE ACC. Of all those prizes there are only two left that are IMO worthy to long for. One is Mortal Coil GG and other Adamantite (DEF+120, MDEF+120, Auto-Wall AAB, but reduces AGL by 30 points). If you're not feeling up to task, feel free to explore the rest of Besaid and do stuff. If scoring 500 points is too much for you, you can attempt this cheesy trick - at 'B - waterfall way 1' stand below the very last waterfall. If you stand here and gun down enemies, you won't be attacked at all! This is the safest place to rack up insane amounts of points, and scoring that Adamantite should be a breeze. KADFC suggests this: - You must be at Lv6+ to get Volleys from Bicocettes. - Once you get one, and have at least 50 HP, immediately run to the blind spot. It doesn't matter if you get hit or not, you should have enough HP to last - If you get hit, other fiends close by won't attack you unless they're coming up. - Once at the blind spot, keep on pressing Circle. The dead-click, a word that I just made up, means fiend clicked on will be killed later on. - Keep on pressing Circle, until you see Bicocette (the purple fiend with a purple/violet shell). You can do this anytime during or before he leaves the screen. I prefer before it leaves the screen. Fire the Volley. - This will kill all the fiends that had the dead-click on it. It doesn't matter how far they went, they are dead. Don't bother to go all the way back and collect all the ammo, the only one that you'll need is from Bicocette (THE VOLLEY!) - Repeat until you have around 40 seconds left. Adamantite is yours! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2B.

Still, I recommend that you do fall behind couple of times. As you'll run S, you'll spot some feathers on the ground. Simply run over them and a chime will sound. Why bother? On your trip Rikku will stop three times and make a comment. Pick [Sure!] to get a chance to nail a prize or [Not this time.] to continue the pursuit. If you'll go for the chests, here: for 0 feathers ran over chest is empty, for 1-3 you get 2x CHOCOBO FEATHER, for 4-14 you get 3x CHOCOBO FEATHER, for 15-17 you get 2x CHOCOBO WING, for 18-21 you get 3x CHOCOBO WING. You can't raid same chest multiple times and hope for multiple copies of items. After prize is looted, choose [You betcha!] to retry. Amount of feathers also dictates award you get once you leave this screen: for 0 feathers ran over you get big fat nothing, for 1-8 you get GOLD HOURGLASS, for 9-15 you get CHOCOBO FEATHER, for 16-21 you get 2x CHOCOBO FEATHER. Chocobo will now want to play left-middle-or-right minigame with you. Paine will cover one end of the road, while Rikku occupies the other. Have Yuna approach the chocobo at side of the road and it will escape ahead. When you approach it again, you are given three seconds to judge (based on direction chocobo is looking at) in which direction chocobo will try to make it past you. If chocobo is looking left, press left directional, if right, press right directional. If it's looking in Yuna's direction, don't press anything. Guess correctly five or six times and it's onto next screen. You *must* mess up twice or thrice, as messing up is grounds for one event later in this mission and a subquest in CH4. Tip: at one point game will inform you that chocobo lost its concentration, so it will be much easier to guess where it wants to run. Contributor Bryan G. says that if you manage to stop it in its tracks six times in a row, you can already catch it here. Sweet. Follow Rikku and Paine in their tracks - their location will be marked by a blue encircled arrow on the minimap. Each time you arrive at marked destination, a scene will occur. After you view second one and you have Yuna run S, you *must* see a scene where Rikku lands on her butt. After viewing third scene in total, chocobo escapes again. Arrrrgh, so close too! Just you wait! Go all the way to S exit of 'H - S end' - talk to the nearby female Al Bhed twice and pick [Please, yes!]. Chocobo is yours at last! Time for one of many friendly reunions as well. When Yuna is under your control again, save your game, then follow Rikku and Paine - notice the red arrow in minimap? After a scene you have 150 seconds to make it to the point of impact before it's too late... got you worried, huh? That's more then enough time. ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - CHOCOBO EATER, EATER species --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 2350 | 230 | 350 | 1 | 500 | WKN | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH 2993 | 230 | 680 | 2 | 770 | WKN | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, STOP, STR down, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Wall Ring [3x X-Potion]| X-Potion [ShiningBrcr]| none [none] Wall Ring [5x X-Potion]| 2x X-Potion[2xShiningBr]| none [none] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. - VS all chrs - respective type of mgd 2. <'Smack'> - VS one chr - phd 3.

[Tired of Paine!] - VS Paine - phd ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY Boss relies heavily on brute force, but is also capable of using a variety of element spells against your party - Thundara, Blizzara, Fira and Watera. But do you know what makes him extra easy and predictable? Whenever it uses 'smack', it will always attack the girl with highest current HP. Should you choose to make half of its attacks useless, you have several options at your disposal - silence it, or steal all of its MP (quite a few ways to do it). It can also be slowed, further making its appearance futile. You cannot lower the damage it does to you as boss is immune to STR down NEGSE - but you can affect its DEF and MDEF instead. A nice way to start the battle is using warrior's Armor and Mental Breaks, followed up by black mage's fire spells or Flametongue ACTA by warrior. If you want to draw attacks to a specific girl, make her HP as high as you can prior to battle, beef up her DEF and cast Protect over her during battle. Remember to regularly heal her and you cannot lose this battle. OSF battle is IMO even easier than 'regular' battle. Like with OSF Guardian Beast Eater will make a move called 'Me no like you!' - afterwards it will launch four PATK against the girl chosen. After those four attacks it may switch back to flurry of MATK (set up reflect to have spells bounce back at Eater) or decide to continue being tired of a certain girl. Don't forget that protect can be helpful here as well. Reducing boss' MAG stat will be useful in reducing damage it does with its MATK. Or - simply silence it. ***************************************************************************** MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! You receive SELENE GUARD GG! Do not press any buttons during ending scene - you must see an event where Rikku will be running across the bridge like crazy, causing the approaching hover to fall off the cliff in the process - take note that you won't actually see the scene itself, but it's easy to draw this conclusion from the events prior to the hover falling off the cliff. You're back on Celsius, but there's more to be done on Mi'ihen road. Once again choose to beam down there - look, it's Clasko! Talk to him or the girl nearby and pick [All aboard!]. They both board Celsius, so do the same. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5B. MUSHROOM R.

Only way to enter this dungeon is by collecting 10 Crimson Spheres, which spans over all five story chapters. *** - If you gave the sphere back to New Yevon, 'M - HQ lift' is as far as you can get during this CH. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEMS - Mushroom: 1500 gil, Hi-Potion - M - ravine 1: 2x Turbo Ether, Phoenix Down, Ether - M - ravine 2: Crimson Sphere 7 - M - HQ lift: Kinesis Badge**, Shining Mirror GG**, Shining Bracer*** - Youth HQ: Mythril Bangle*** ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENEMIES: Coyote, Drowsy Ochu, Tonberry, Bully Cap, Red Elemental, League Raider*, League Warrior*, League Trooper*, League Soldier*, League Ranger*, Miss E.

First I'll tell what happens if you give the sphere back to New Yevon. As soon as you get to 'Mushroom', you'll notice a red arrow in minimap in upper left. Follow it and scene is triggered. It's time to kick some high ass, then! Mission starts as you enter 'M - ravine path'. ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ WHO NEEDS AN INVITATION? The Youth League's edgier members have drawn their own conclusions and declared the Gullwings an enemy. Beat them back as you push through to League headquarters! Objective: Reach the lift leading to headquarters ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ Before you can use the lift, you'll need to dispose of two soldiers. Piece of cake. Board the lift and kill next four soldiers (in waves of two). On your way to second lift you could prolly be bothered enough to dispose of any Ochus you can lay your swords on - EXP awarded is well worth the effort put in. After killing both Ochus you will encounter fourth and last wave of rogue soldiers - kill them. Yooohooo, Red Riding Hood... what the...? ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - MISS E. & 2x LEAGUE WARRIOR ----------------------------- MISS E.

'Swipe' - VS one chr - phd ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY How would you like this battle to play out? As a rule of thumb Miss E. will usually try to haste herself first turn she gets in battle. After that she favors PATK, but as her HP grows lower and lower, you will be seeing more and more of status magic being used against your girls, especially slow. Counter this either by dispeling Miss E.'s haste, or put her to sleep (quite an abnormal status immunity to be missing from a boss) and then pound her with MATK. Two soldiers that are nearby to help 'defeat' (or be defeated) you are quite laughable. Nevertheless, dispose of them first - their HP is not so high, but should you leave them to keep attacking you, there would be too much worries on your back, so... kill both soldiers first, then turn your attacks against Miss E. Miss E. surprisingly also packs Thunder magic, which hits all girls, so in heat of battle you may want to switch to white mage and have her cast Shell on all girls. If you can keep Miss E. asleep during whole battle, you will almost certainly see no attacks coming from her direction. ***************************************************************************** After kicking her ass use the second lift. On 'M - HQ lift' approach the big lift... figures. Cluck cluck! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! You receive KINESIS BADGE ACC and SHINING MIRROR GG. And now for story telling of what happens if Youth League got the sphere... As soon as you get to 'Mushroom', you'll notice a red arrow in minimap in upper left. Follow it and scene is triggered - enter 'M - ravine path'. Before you can use the lift, couple of soldiers will tell you that about escort. Board the lift and proceed going N - on your way to second lift you will notice couple of Ochus. If you don't wish to fight them, go past them, but *slowly* - tilt your left stick ever so ligthly so that Yuna tiptoes. When you get to 'M - HW lift', storm the chest for SHINING BRACER ACC, then use the lift to enter 'Youth HQ'. Here jump to tiny path on right side of the screen and score MYTHRIL BANGLE ACC. Don't forget to find Elma and Lucil around here - have a chat with them. Regardless of your past choices you can do this: after completing sidequest mission (or if you weren't doing it) beam down to 'Mushroom rock' again - visit N part of this screen, use the stone as the lift and raid two chests here for 1500 GIL and HI-POTION. Then return to 'M - ravine path' once again. Remember the place where Slim and Fatso jumped down in 'M - ravine 1' to access some weird door? Do the same yet again and find your way to that weird door (during your trip raid the chests for 2x TURBO ETHER, PHOENIX DOWN and ETHER). In 'M - ravine 2' a scene will issue, after which you obtain CRIMSON SPHERE 7 KEY ITEM (make sure you watch it as soon as you're aboard Celsius!). There's nothing more left to do here. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6B.

As soon as you have control, go right. On 'M - S bank' talk to red midget and pick [Okay, sounds like fun!]. Mission has started! ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ YRP, THE SCALPERS THREE! Talk to people along the south and north banks of the Moonflow with Square and sell as many tickets as possible. The base price is 500* gil, but if you can sell the tickets off at a higher price, the profits are yours! Objective: Sell tickets and report to Tobli ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ * - if you did not speak to Tobli before completing Shave the Hypello mission in CH1, then the base price for tickets will be 1000 gil instead! You have ten tickets to be sold to some people found in Moonflow (14 people are willing to buy tickets). You can sell tickets by addressing people with Square. You will be given a choice of how much will you charge for single ticket - will you charge 200, 500, 1000, 1500 or go as high as 2000 gil? Choice is yours... or not, if you follow this guide. Note that you can try selling the ticket to specific person only once! If you charge too high, person won't buy a ticket and you will have wasted one chance out of ten you are given. And finally, not everyone is willing to buy tickets. Play your gil smart and you will win. Here's the chart of peeps and how much gil you can relieve them of: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Screen | Person's description | Gil ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- M - S bank road | man at N entrance | 200** | woman at S entrance | 1500* M - S bank | woman with bouncing kid | 1000** | woman with red bandanna | 1500* M - S wharf | man sitting on right end of the bench | 1000** | woman just below the SSP | 1500* M - S wharf, dock | man in lower left corner | 2000* | man sitting on the stairs | 1500* M - N wharf, dock | girl in upper right corner | 2000* | boy to the right of lowest Hypello | 2000* M - N wharf | only woman on this screen | 2000* | only man on this screen | 500** M - N bank road | first man on the side of the road | 1500* | man near old woman | 2000* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * - sell tickets to these people ** - don't sell tickets to these people Maximum gil profit amount you can score is 12500 gil. After you attempt to sell your 10th ticket, you will automatically view a scene with red midget. You *must* sell all 10 tickets with a profit or at least breaking even - this makes sure you get full % for the event! It's also important for later events in the game. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! What, the rewards? Here...

Save your game first. Enter 'G - data dealer' screen - BTW, you need 10000 gil. Talk to the guy behind the counter, pick [Got any data?], then [Sounds good, I'll take it.]. You will be given a clue about THE person, now you need to figure out just who the hell is THE person. Meaning you should address various people in Guadosalam and hope you'll manage to find correct one. If one clue is not enough, pick [Got any data?] again and you'll learn of second clue. Solution? Try out three people by addressing them with Square button. Once you nail the correct one, you receive grand prize of 10000 times X (X ranges from 1 to 10) gil (sooner you figure out who THE person is, fatter the reward). Should you fail to locate THE person, you lose 10000 gil you paid for the info. Oopsies. Here's a handy chart with first hint provided and who's THE person. TIP | WHO IS IT? | GIL ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - He is someone loafing about | Hypello in 'Tobli productions'. | 25000 indoors. | | - The person is a woman. | Woman in green clothes in NW part | 25000 | of Guadosalam. | - The guy you're after is just | Man in red boxershorts just outside | 25000 sitting around. | 'G - data dealer.' | - It's someone right next to a | Man to the left of entrance to 'Tobli| 30000 door. | productions'. | - This man bears himself with | Man with brown helmet just outside | 30000 confidence. | 'G - data dealer.' | - It was someone rather young, | Woman with red bandanna in NW part | 30000 yes. | of Guadosalam. | - This individual can be found | Fatso in 'G - shop'. | 30000 indoors. | | - It's someone sitting down. I | Man in blue-sleeved shirt sitting | 40000 wonder what he's doing there?| in NW part of Guadosalam. | - I believe it's someone | Woman in green and brown clothes | 40000 interested in joining the | standing to the right of entrance | Syndicate. | in the Chateau. | - It's a guy sitting down. | Kid with helmet just outside 'G - | 50000 | data dealer.' | - It's someone near the door | Man with blue bandanna in SW part of | 50000 that will not open. | Guadosalam. | - I haven't the slightest clue | Hypello which keeps walking around | 50000 what this guy is doing. | Guadosalam. | - It's someone by the entrance | Man near the exit to Thunder p. | 60000 to town. | | - It is a woman. | Woman to the right of entrance to | 70000 | 'Tobli productions.' | - This guy's in a place you | Shopkeeper of 'G - shop'. | 80000 wouldn't expect. | | - It's the last person you'd | Data dealer himself. |100000 expect, no question. | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- And let me not forget listing down shop's wares. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- GUADOSALAM - SHOP Potion 50 | Pearl Necklace (Pointlessproof) 4000 Antidote 50 | Angel Earrings (Deathproof) 5000 Eye Drops 50 | Gold Anklet (Stoneproof) 5000 Echo Screen 50 | Kinesis Badge (Slowproof, Stopproof) 10000 Soft 50 | Mute Shock (Silencetouch, Silence ACTA) 15000 Holy Water 300 | Venom Shock (Poisontouch, Bio ACTA) 15000 -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- But what is the ultimate goal of visiting Guadosalam? Talk to people stationed within to learn about clues where do Syndicate's thugs hang out. You'll be given three places: Djose, Gagazet and Bikanel. Still, do NOT go to any of these areas yet. We'll tackle all the others first. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9B. THUNDER P. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THUNDER P. AREA MAP TO MACALANIA | 'TP - north' | |-------------|-----------| | | 'TP - agency' --- 'TP - agency, f' SSP | | | |-------------|-----------| | 'TP - south' SSP | TO GUADOSALAM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEMS - TP - south: 4x Echo Screen, 3x Potion, Pearl Necklace - TP - north: 2x Silence Grenade, 2x Ether, 2x Phoenix Down - TP - agency: Samurai's Honor GG ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENEMIES: Lesser Drake, Armet, Chocobo, Red Elemental, Ochu, Stalwart, Gold Elemental, Bicocette, Bolt Drake ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- All of the items mentioned in Item checklist are found in chests. Here a fun minigame awaits that tests your skills at remembering and timing. When you enter Thunder plains, speak to kneeling Al Bhed and choose [Maybe we can help?]. You will now need to 'recalibrate' 10 towers found across Thunder plains (5 in S, 5 in N). Info for this minigame is found in section 19. Back in CH1, while you were doing Zanarkand mission and if you picked [You bet I do.] option when talking to Cid, he now appears in Thunder p. between towers 2 and 3. He's really hard to miss as you'll see purple X in your mini-map. Here are the wares of 'TP - agency'. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- THUNDER P. - AGENCY'S SHOP Potion 50 | Lightning Gleam (Lightningstrike) 3000 Phoenix Down 100 | Yellow Ring (Lit. Ward, Thunder ACTA) 3000 Antidote 50 | Eye Drops 50 | Echo Screen 50 | Soft 50 | Holy Water 300 | -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- The Al Bhed you spoke to before is also located inside this house. Speak to him to learn of your progress on towers you've attempted so far, and to revise rules and regulations of calibration minigame. Once you attempt all ten towers, and when you calibrate at least five towers perfectly, you receive SAMURAI'S HONOR GG! To get this awesome GG, I recommend calibrating towers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6, cos they're easiest IMO. BTW, amount of calibrations you make on single tower affects certain sidequest in CH5 in Thunder p. - more calibrations means better prize. My recommendation? Don't bother, because 7th and 10th tower will make you go crazy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10B.

Talk to him and pick [Shure, why not?], then head for 'MW - spring 2'. You'll reach the place with the huge sphere (should be familiar to you anyway if you were doing sidequest mission 04 back in CH1). Talk to Bayra... ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ TRACK DOWN THE TROUPE! Find Donga and Pukutak somewhere in the woods. They have taken the form of whirling circles of butterflies. Enter the circles and they will return to their true forms. Objective: Meet with Donga and Pukutak ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ ...you must locate missing musicians. There's five of them in total and this section discloses their locations. Just some words of advice if you'll bother looking for them yourself - keep your eyes peeled for rings of butterflies! These rings denote 'hiding places' of runaway musicians. Just walk thru the ring and somebody will pop up out of nowhere. Do remember to address some of them so they say their lines and teleport away. Also, doing this quest will net you one more GG later in CH3. On 'MW - spring 2' you can locate two butterfly rings (2 down, 3 to go). Back to 'MW - lake road' and this time make use of SE exit to reach 'MW - north 2'. Follow your nose - on your way to third butterly ring you'll need to kill some enemies (this is guaranteed battle, not even No Encounters can prevent it)... you can flee too. Walk thru third ring - 3 down, 2 to go. Continue pressing S for another fixed battle - after battle you will come down shiny path and end up near SSP, which you should use to save your game. Now go to 'MW - spring 1' - you've found fourth butterfly ring (4 down, 1 to go). You will be teleported to the screen with the harp guy, but do not address him yet! You're not done collecting the musicians... retrack to 'MW - lake road' and now choose SW exit. As you go along, you'll spot last butterfly ring in the air. Keep holding left and Circle at same time to have Yuna jump the gap, thus shortening your travel distance a bit. Go up the nearby slope and when near the ring, hold directionals towards it and press Circle to have Yuna jump thru the ring. That's all musicians. Now return to Bayra and talk to him for this to be MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! You receive HASTE BANGLE ACC. Choose [No] when given option, as there's still stuff to do in Macalania. If you haven't talked to him in CH1, Tromell now appears - talk to him four times and he hands over FULL THROTTLE SDSP and UNERRING PATH GG. Return to Hypello you spoke earlier and you'll fetch some more rewards: BITTER FAREWELL GG and possibly MINERVA'S PLATE ACC. As far is scoring the rest of the items goes: in 'MW - central 2' you can raid SILVER BRACER ACC, while in 'MW - central 1' ICY GLEAM ACC awaits Yuna. Lastly, raid the chest with 2x HI-POTION on 'Lake Mac. - agency, f'. Missed the chance of getting O'aka in CH1? Now's your second chance to do so - for more details please refer to sidequest mission 04 entry. If you've turned O'aka over to Al Bhed back in CH1 (or CH2, at which time you can also attempt 'Follow that O'aka' mission), visit the agency for... -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- LAKE MACALANIA - AGENCY'S SHOP Potion 50 | Icy Gleam (Icestrike) 3000 Phoenix Down 100 | White Ring (Ice Ward, Blizzard ACTA) 3000 Antidote 50 | Eye Drops 50 | Echo Screen 50 | Soft 50 | Holy Water 300 | -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11B.

Talk with pilot and more options become available: you can now explore Southern Expanse, Western Expanse and Oasis (other two are still greyed out).

Leave no fiend unslain! Objective: Wipe out alI the fiends ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ OTHER REFERENCES: STUFF013 Now that mission has started, you're advised to stop by Guadosalam first and buy three sets of Angel Earrings. Deathproof AAB they have will prove invaluable just in case you run into Queen Coeurl inside here. There's SSP at the start of dungeon, so use it if you wish. Take into consideration these three tips: - Not all fiends are real. Some are only an illusion. Touching an illusionary fiend will cause it to vanish. - Only one real fiend appears at a time. Any other fiends you see are illusions. - The illusionary fiends face the direction of the real fiend. Of course, with some fiends it's difficult to tell which way they're facing at all. If you mess up three times in locating the real fiend, you'll see red arrows appear above fiends indicating direction they're looking at. With help of these arrows it shouldn't be a problem now to get rid of five real fiends. 1st bout VS Skink 2nd bout VS Queen Coeurl & Armet 3rd bout VS Skink & Armet 4th bout VS 3x Armet 5th bout VS Queen Coeurl & Skink Scene is triggered. Yo, Clasko, wassup? Kill 6th, final monsters (you'll fight 3x Blue Elemental) to have this MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! For your troubles you will receive ALCHEMIST DSP and HIGHROAD WINDS GG. Note that monster arena is now chocobo breeding grounds. Look a bit below. Return to 'CL - ruins', turn right, examine chocobo sign and pick [Hey, Clasko!] to receive bunch of GYSAHL GREENS and bunch of PAHSANA GREENS. Now go out and *make sure* you capture one chocobo before end of CH3. Here's information that will fill you in on what must be done to access Chocobo ranch, alchemist DSP and more: - meet Clasko in CH1 during 'Foggy Fiend Frenzy!' sidequest mission in Mushroom; after completing this mission, return to SSP found at the entrance to 'Mushroom rock' screen - he'll be located on the right; talk to him and say [The more, the merrier!]; then participate in 'Cuckoo for Chocobos!' mission on Mi'ihen in CH2 - Clasko will help you; after wasting the boss enter 'M - agency, f' screen and invite both Clasko and Calli onboard (Calli will come onboard only if you were able to get a chocobo for her); finally go to Calm lands, enter the 'Facility ruins' and complete 'Clean Sweep' mission; chocobo ranch is now open - if you did not participate in 'Foggy Fiend Frenzy!' mission or didn't invite Clasko on Celsius, then find him in CH2 on 'Mushroom rock' screen just before you enter 'M - ravine path' - he'll run off to Calm lands and you'll find him there in CH3 - complete 'Clean Sweep' mission and ranch is open, you also get your longed for DSP - if you invite Clasko onboard, but fail to stop by Calm lands in CH2, he'll appear there automatically in CH3 - ranch is open, you also get your longed for DSP - if you do not talk to Clasko in CH1 or CH2, ranch isn't open for business and Clasko's whereabouts are unknown for remainder of the game Copy and paste this link in your browser to gain complete information on chocobo ranch, bird-brain breeding and more: db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_2_chocobo.txt Note that Publicity m., Bridal m. and lots of other minigames found here are still available for your pleasure, so have fun! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14B.

Start the battle by taking out two fighters first to get rid of element spells they chuck in your direction. Another easy solution would be to have white mage cast Reflect on your girls - this way damage will pile up quite quickly, hehe. Once both fighters are eliminated, have white mage cast Protect over your girls as well, then change into warrior and proceed with Slim's asskicking. Slim has vastly improved his array of attacks. Warriors are job of choice for this fight (soon we'll get ourselves much better DSP). As Slim is able to put darkness or silence on all three gals at once, I recommend you bring some Eye Drops and Echo Screens with you. When you see Slim take defensive stance, he is prepping to use either Hush Grenade or Flash Bomb for about 50 damage to all. If he starts talking during it, expect to see Hail of Bullets attack. Heal your wounds if HP falls below 100 - white mage's Pray ability can come in handy, as it isn't affected by silence. ***************************************************************************** SECOND DISGUISE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- DJOSE AREA MAP NO ACCESS TO CLOISTER | | | 'Living q. 1' ------------|------------ 'Living q. 2' | 'Great hall' | TO MOONFLOW 'D temple' SSP ---- 'D - reception' | | |--------------- 'D - p. road' | 'D highroad' | TO MUSHROOM R. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEMS - Living q. 1: 2x Echo Screen - D temple: 2x Phoenix Down - D - p. road: 3x Potion - D highroad: Floral Fallal SDSP, Syndicate Uniform ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENEMIES: Agama, Assassin Bee, Chocobo, Death Dauber, Dr. Goon, Fem-Goon, Gold Elemental, Sallet, League Scout*, League Trooper*, League Soldier*, League Ranger*, Fatso (BOSS), Slim (BOSS) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * - these enemies will fight you if you gave the sphere back to New Yevon ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back on 'Celsius' beam to Djose one more time.

'Slap' - VS one chr - phd ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY Take out Fem-Goon to get rid of her element spells. As before, consider an option of having white mage cast Reflect on your party with devastating effects for your opponents. Slim has same attacks as last fight, whereas Fatso doesn't gain anything new - but he does have an attack pattern. He'll bash one girl twice, then use Pirouette Pitch on each third turn (Pirouette Pitch is used against the girl with lowest current HP). When Fatso is extremely low on HP, he starts using Concussive Shock for 200 damage to all girls for most of his attacks - spare Fatso for last to dispose of in this boss battle. Both guys can also be put to sleep, should you consider using some status fun in the battle. I recommend warriors for this fight and a white mage with Silenceproof acc, bringing some Eye Drops and Echo Screens with you just in case you don't have any Silenceproof stuff. When you see Slim take defensive stance, he's about to use either Flash Bomb or Hush Grenade for around 50 damage to all. If he starts talking during it, expect to see Hail of Bullets attack. Similarly, Fatso's spinning means he'll do Pirouette Pitch - about 80. His usual ram attack takes about 150 damage. Heal your wounds if HP falls below 200! Now it's not the time to be taking into consideration 'Will I make it or not...?' If need be, heal - remember that white mage's Pray ability isn't affected by Silence. Lastly, you now possess all three SDSP - if you're having problems with this battle, you may consider using them for some major ownage. ***************************************************************************** After the battle you obtain SYNDICATE UNIFORM KEY ITEM.

Meet Kimahri and talk to him twice. Like in CH1, talking to Kimahri and other Ronsos has huge impact on events following in later chapters. Here's choices you should make in this CH: - [You have to figure this out on your own.] - pick this!!! - [He does seem very tired.] - [And what of the Guado.] - [Maybe the Guado really are to blame.] - [What if the Guado retaliate?] - [Please, try to think about it some more.] - [Then...there won't be anyone left to fight.] - [They should take better care of the mountain.] - this guy is in 'G - mountain c1' Make your way up the mountain to 'G - fayth scar 1'. ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ SPRING INTO ACTION You'll need uniforms to sneak into Chateau LB! So what are you waiting for? Get to it! Objective: Obtain a Syndicate uniform ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ Start climbing the ledges until you reach top-most one. Head bit right and you'll see a cave entrance. Still go right, but WALK and hold Circle so that Yuna jumps to floating rock - ELIXIR is yours. Go inside 'G - scar cave 1' now and follow an easy path - as you reach 1stcross, take a *right* and continue jumping process to nail a chest with HI-POTION. Back to 1stcross continue up N path. Keep at it and you'll soon reach this cave's exit and enter 'G - fayth scar 2'. Outside continue right, climb up two ledges and drop down on the right (follow the girl). You now have two options available. Continue reading this paragraph for first option. But if you're interested in second option, skip following boss battle entry and read info below it on how to access it (anyway, you MUST view the long hot spring scene if you want to get full % for the event and 100% in the end). FIRST OPTION (again, this one won't give you 100% in the end, so go with second option instead!): Save at SSP and enter another cave. Blahblah later... ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - SYNDICATE'S FATTER SIDE, SIXTH IGNITION ------------------------------ FATSO STATISTICS ----------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 1350 | 22 | 180 | 1 | 200 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SIL, CON, BER, CUR, EJE, STOP, DOOM, %DMG ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Beaded Brooch | X-Potion | none Beaded Brooch | Elixir | none ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. 'Bash' - VS one chr - phd 2. Pirouette Pitch - VS one chr - phd 3. Concussive Shock - STATT VS all chrs - std ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY Concussive Shock hits all girls for 200 damage and he has also become very powerful considering other two attacks. Bring in white mage and keep casting Cura on all members. Meanwhile have two warriors soften up Fatso with Power Break, then continue hitting it with PATK. Fatso can also be put to sleep, and you can now proceed hammering him with MATK. Again, Fatso's spinning means he'll throw his shield for big damage - about 300. His usual ram attack can take about 450 damage! Heal your wounds if HP falls below 500! Here's an easy way to figure out what he'll use. 'Bash', 'bash', Pirouette Pitch, repeat. Be careful if Fatso is extremely low on HP - he'll keep using Concussive Shock over and over again for 200 damage to all girls (bypasses protect), so it's in your best interest to kill him fast and painless (question is, for who?). And remember - if need be, heal! ***************************************************************************** After the battle you'll need to take out two magicians - piece of cake. I've made it to LV16 with my girls at this point of game. I will no longer advise on what levels you should be at certain spots in the game. If boss you're facing is too strong and my strategy doesn't help, you need to level up and improve your skills. SECOND OPTION (this is the one you MUST see to get 100% in the end): Soooo, you wish to know about other, MORE secret approach? Instead of following the girl when you spot her for second time, CONTINUE climbing up and up. At the peak of climbing go LEFT when you can, and now SLOWLY walk toward the floating rocks and hold Circle so that Yuna jumps there - score WHITE CAPE ACC. Retrack and go right now - you'll come across 'G - scar cave 2' with PHOENIX DOWN inside, then continue with climbing up. How much longer, man? I wanna those... Knock it off! Heh. During your climb you'll see a natural hole of sorts with rock sticking out on another side. Walk on it to trigger a scene. SYNDICATE UNIFORM KEY ITEM belongs to you. Sit back and relax in natural beauty of Gagazet (eyes wander off in funny direction). After scene is over, make a save at SSP and try to get off the mountain. Dispose of two disposable assassins (and one worm), then make somebody else regret he got in your way as well. For strategy on upcoming boss please view boss battle entry just a bit above. Once it's time for MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, you get STONEHEWN GG. With this Storyline Mission 6 has come to an end.

THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE IN CH2 TO CLEAR SIDEQUEST MISSIONS AVAILABLE. ############################################################################# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- STORYLINE MISSION 7 - G1107 - Infiltration nation! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- GUADOSALAM AREA MAP 'Ch. - hidden pass' | | 'Ch. - private q' --------|------- 'Ch. - living r.' | 'Ch. - entrance' | 'Chateau'* | N | 'Mystery door'** --- NW -----|---- NE ---- 'Farplane'*** | |--- MIDDLE --- 'G - shop' | TO THUNDER P. ------- W ------- 'Guadosalam' ----- E ---- 'Tobli productions' | | |------ SE ------ 'G - data dealer' S | TO MOONFLOW * - Must possess all three Syndicate Uniforms in order to get access. ** - You can enter the mystery door in CH5, but only if you get Episode Complete! for Guadosalam later in CH5. *** - You will NEVER be able to enter the Farplane. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEMS - Ch. - hidden pass: Heady Perfume*, Gold Hairpin*, Crimson Sphere 10, Healing Light GG ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENEMIES: Battlesnake, Dr. Goon, Fem-Goon, Fatso (BOSS), Slim (BOSS), LB. (BOSS) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * - item scored depends on when did you manage to satisfy LB. in an upcoming minigame; satisfying her on first try awards Gold Hairpin, subsequent ones will get you Heady Perfume There's still HS located at Guadosalam. Talk to MN and beam down there. Approach the manor and choice will be given - select [Okay!]... ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ FAKING AND ENTERING Nobody steals from the Gullwings! Sneak into Chateau LB and take back what's rightfully yours! Objective: Recover the stolen sphere ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ ...and access inside the manor is granted. After some yadda-yadda enter 'Ch. - living r'. Inside you'll find Fatso and Slim - get near them to get some clues. Also note the place Fatso is standing - it'll be important later. Now get back out and go up the stairs into 'Ch. - private q'. She's standing in a corner, so approach her - now you need to give her a massage. Short recap on how does this minigame work: You have 15 tries to massage 9 parts of LB.'s body. You must accrue 32 points to complete this minigame. Select the body part on 3x3 grid with directionals and press X to apply massage. Blue spot is worth 0, green 1, yellow 2 and red 5 points. If you don't succeed at first, ante is upped: blue spot is now worth 0, green 2, yellow 3 and red 5 points. Additionally, finding red spot clears whole grid and resets the spots (you'll see what I mean if you mess up). My advice is to mess up at first, so point value is upped on second try, then find yellow spot and keep massaging it to get points needed. You will get Heady Perfume acc later on in the secret room, which is awesome IMO for its HP Stroll and MP Stroll abilities. Fatso and Slim enter the room - this means you can now get in 'Ch. - living r.' below undisturbed! Stand at the spot Fatso was blocking when you talked with them before and examine the wall near left blue pedestal. Secret door opens and it's joyful time for new dungeon. ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - SYNDICATE'S FATTER SIDE, SEVENTH IGNITION, FEM-GOON & DR.

'Swipe' - VS one chr - phd ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY First take out two other enemies that appear with Fatso - this will eliminate excess damage. Fatso gained another new attack - if you see him put his shield on the back and knocking on his head, prepare to do some reviving. He'll use Huggles, extremely powerful attack for up to 1200 damage on one girl. His two other attacks are still deadly as well. Where's the fun here? Fatso has somewhat of an attack pattern (but don't count on it for being accurate, as I've seen Fatso attack differently) - 'bash', 'bash', 'bash', Supercollider, repeat. Huggles is used a lot once Fatso is in critical condition. Also note that this time you cannot put him to sleep. Bring in white mage and keep casting Cura on all members (apply protect on all girls as well). Meanwhile have two warriors soften up Fatso with Power Break, then continue hitting it with PATK. Again, Fatso's spinning means he'll throw his shield for annoying results - target's HP will be halved and next turn delayed a bit. His usual ram attack can take about 250 damage! Heal your wounds if HP falls below 400! Now it's not the time to be taking into consideration 'Will I make it or not...?' If need be, heal! ***************************************************************************** After defeating Fatso proceed N. Save at SSP and at 1stcross go N thru a door to a room. Nail the chest here which contains either GOLD HAIRPIN ACC or HEADY PERFUME ACC, then back to 1stcross take E path. Still go E at 2nscross and enter next room. Collect the sphere and CRIMSON SPHERE 10 KEY ITEM (make sure you watch it as soon as you're aboard Celsius!) is yours for winning, but... ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - SYNDICATE'S THUGS, EIGHTH IGNITION ------------------------------ FATSO STATISTICS ----------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 1840 | 42 | 240 | 1 | 230 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SIL, CON, BER, CUR, EJE, STOP, DOOM, %DMG ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Defense Veil | X-Potion | none Defense Veil | Elixir | none ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

If not, he'll use Russian Roulette and who knows what kind of results it'll bring. Anyway, you will see Russian Roulette on every fourth turn Slim gets, so use this info to your battle plan advantage. Fatso still follows his route of 'bash', 'bash', 'bash', Supercollider, repeat (some discrepancies may apply, but this is the most frequent attack pattern I've observed). Careful when Fatso enters critical HP stage - Huggles attacks will come flying in your direction, so do take care of finishing Fatso soon once his HP is very low! In case you're interested in some status fun, try out sleep and poison. In case of petrified girl Fatso can follow up with Supercollider to shatter her. Slim also packs bullets with poison, silence and curse effects, but these aren't so annoying. Can't say the same for death effect bullet, tho'. White mage is almost a must - her Esuna will lift both petrify and poison. When you see Slim take defensive stance, he's about to use Russian Roulette, so beware and be ready with right countermeasures. Otherwise Slim hits for 60 damage and Fatso for 200 damage. Heal your wounds if HP falls below 200! ***************************************************************************** After defeating them, get out of the room. At 2ndcross take N path now - you'll reach 3rdcross. Now refer to minimap for directions! At 3rdcross E path is a dead end, you can't yet reach N path, so only way to go is W path. Climb ub the ledge, then jump across both pits and proceed toward dead end. Spike alert! What do you do? Nothing, simply run into the spike wall... Yuna appears near security override switch 1, so choose [Activate the override]. Jump down, go N and climb the ledge. Drop down in next pit and activate override switch 2. Climb out and drop into next hole to activate override switch 3. Back out and continue up to where the spike wall emerged. Approach another switch and select [Open the door.]. Access to another part of this dungeon has been opened. Before entering circular door I recommend to save! Now you're ready for final showdown! ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - WHOLE SYNDICATE, NINTH IGNITION ------------------------------ FATSO STATISTICS ----------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 1344 | 45 | 260 | 2 | 240 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, CON, BER, CUR, EJE, STOP, DOOM, %DMG ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Twist Headband | X-Potion | none Twist Headband | Elixir | none ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

If not, he'll use Russian Roulette and who knows what kind of results it'll bring. In case of petrifying Fatso can follow up with Supercollider VS petrified girl, shattering her. Slim also packs bullets with poison, silence and curse effects, but these aren't so annoying. Can't say the same for death effect bullet, tho'. White mage is almost a must - her Esuna will lift both petrify and poison. When you see Slim take defensive stance, he's about to use Russian Roulette, so beware and be ready with right countermeasures. Otherwise Slim hits for 60 damage and Fatso for 200 damage. Heal your wounds if HP falls below 200! If that's not enough, LB. comes equipped with Not-So-Mighty Guard and No Love Lost, special triple tech, which can only be used if all LB., Fatso and Slim are still alive. Extreme damage of about 300 to all will be inflicted. Pay attention to what she's saying so that you know what will come flying in your direction. Furthermore, she can haste her partners making them even more deadly and is able to cure whole team with White Wind. How can you win this? Fatso again has recognizable attack pattern of 'bash', 'bash', 'bash', Supercollider, repeat. When extremely low on HP, he'll be using Huggles and Concussive Blast a lot - former'll be aimed against the girl with lowest current HP. LB. also has attack pattern, provided she's the last one standing - 'fan slap', followed by two magic attacks, 'fan slap', Mach Fan and repeat. Slim's actions cannot be predicted unfortunately. As said, bring in white mage, songstress and warrior. Start by having white mage cast Protect on everybody, then follow up with Cura/ga on all girls. Songstress keeps using Darkness Dance - but make sure that you keep hear health up at all times! Whoever has warrior DSP - start using various techs against Slim, which must be eliminated first to ensure he won't annoy us with KO or petrify. LB. usually starts the fight by casting Mighty Guard - dispel the effects on your primary target first. Once Slim is gone, turn your attention onto Fatso. When he falls too, all that's left is LB. She alone can't stand much longer, so victory is yours. ***************************************************************************** With this Storyline Mission 7 has come to an end.

If you've given the sphere back to New Yevon, there won't be any battles here... yet. However, if you gave the sphere to Youth League, you will have to battle with Bevelle soldiers...

Follow the path and enter another door so that you're inside 'New Yevon HQ 1'. Go to 'New Yevon HQ 3' and climb the stone to trigger part of the wall in 'New Yevon HQ 4' to fall off, which is where you should go next. Inside climb the hole in the wall, drop down and examine *lower* pedestal. This will cause the lift in 'New Yevon HQ 1' to transport you down below in Bevelle temple to 'B - trials 1'. Ah, the memories again... When in control, take the only route - a fight issues, which when won, activates the rest of the path for you to explore. At 1stcross hike E and nail two chests for 3x REMEDY and 3x REMEDY - when done, return to 1stcross and take W path. At 2ndcross go S, nail the chest with 3000 GIL down there, return to 2ndcross and take N path. At 3rdcross take W path, nail the chest with 4x HI-POTION, back to 3rdcross and hike E. Get another two chests with 8x POTION and 4x PHOENIX DOWN on the way, then hop onto a lift to reach 'B - trials 2'. Now climb up the stairs and go right to 'B - antechamber'. Restock at Barkeep if you need anything, bang the chest open for CHOCOBO FEATHER, save at SSP, then proceed right to next room. After the scene you'll be deeper inside Bevelle temple. Go right to trigger another scene. When it's finished, you can go examine a pedestal on the balcony you're currently on for some hints on how does security work. Passage to the lower sanctum is blocked. Manually disable the security system to proceed. Use the three control towers with blue lights to disable the security system. But be careful! The towers with red lights are set to defense mode! Talk to LB. and she'll clue you in on how can you reach middle platform - walk to N end of balcony and approach the edge in order for Yuna to slide down the chain. Take down two robots in next battle. If you want Ribbon, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY AS TOLD! You'll be standing near one of six towers. This tower will be referred to as T1. Counting in anti-clockwise direction the rest will be dubbed T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6. Start the dance by taking stairs leading to T1 and activating it - you'll need to defeat a robot in battle that will issue straight away. 1st plate is ejected and put into place. After victory go up, skip T2 and activate T3 - take down another robot. 3rd plate is ejected and put into place. Now skip T4 and activate T5.

[Anti-Dressphere] - VS one chr - phd, induces itchy ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY Another leftover from before, Precepts Guard is a bit tougher. It loves to start the battle by KO-ing one of the girls with Death - counter this with quick Phoenix Down. You have a 50% chance of PG using one of its not-so- damaging moves - Bio and Demi can't kill you (cure the former with Antidote), Drain steals about 50 HP, and Osmose can be laughed at. Slow is a problem, tho'. Counter the effects with white mage's Esuna or consider using Remedies. Now the usual stuff can be applied: white mage with two warriors is excellent choice. Warriors start with Armor and Magic Breaks, while white mage ensures party stays healthy - if you've been fluently practicing white magic, you should now already have Reflect, Protect, Shell, Regen and Curaga. For fun try casting Reflect on yourselves. Keep at damaging PG, taking care to revive KO- ed girls and not to let your guard down. PG is another thing of the past. OS battle mode activated? Okay, time to enter the fray. First message that'll pop up and make you wonder is Magic Catalyst. This means that longer battle draws on, higher PG's MAG will become. This is why you don't want to linger around for too long (no, you can't Magic Break PG). In OSF PG doesn't know any of its weak magics, but instead gains ability to attack girls physically and use elemental MATK. Cure the former with protect, and set reflect for latter - making PG hit itself is priceless. If you're hit with Anti-Dressphere move, no worries - just toss Esuna, Remedy or change DSP (I like to do the last option). ***************************************************************************** 2nd plate is ejected and put into place. Now that access to entrance down in the pit is granted, don't hop down just yet! We gotta get ourselves a Ribbon! Now activate T6 and kill next robot. 4th plate (controled by T6) will emerge in the pit. Now approach T1 and kill PG four times. Activating T2 is your next objective - kill another robot too! T2 controls 6th plate, which will emerge now. Back to T1 and kill PG two times. Finally activate T4... ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - GEORAPELLA, GEO species --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 4420 | 9999 | 800 | 1 | 1000 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | WKN 6641 | 9999 | 1600 | 2 | 1500 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | WKN ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, EJE, STOP, [STR down], DOOM, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- NulTide Ring[3x WaterGem]| Water Gem [ShortCirct]| none [none] NulTide Ring[4x WaterGem]| 2x WaterGem[ShortCirct]| none [none] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. - VS all chrs - respective type of mgd 2. ['Punch'] - VS all chrs - phd 3. [Power Catalyst] - on self - the longer the battle, the higher the STR 4. Osmose - VS one chr - MP stolen is added to Geo's MP ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY Geo is much more dangerous than PG - it has four element MATK at its disposal and it uses them mercilessly. Getting KO-ed here is no big surprise. However, you can tip the odds in your favour by simply making three white mages and casting Reflect on yourself. Bye, Geo, I hope to fight you sometime soon again. Or have white mage and two warriors - white mage casts Shell on all girls, then Cura/ga on all and keeps at it. Warriors Magic Break Geo to lessen mgd it can do - all that will make Geo manageable. Geo is one of the bosses that would like to have its MP back soon. In case you haven't learned Reflect yet, there is one other way too. Prior to battle maximize girls' MDEF as high as you can. 80% of the time Geo will use element MATK, so apply shell status as well if you see you're still taking the beating. In case Geo becomes oversouled, you'll be seeing its PATK as well, so apply that protect status. Geo can be slowed as well - this reduces damage you would be taking even further. Claim your victory! OSF battle mode activated? Okay, time to enter the fray. First message that'll pop up and make you wonder is Power Catalyst. This means that longer battle draws on, higher Geo's STR will become - although I wonder why. Geo relies heavily on lv3 element magics, so Magic Catalyst would be more suited for it. As I wrote, four elements are Geo's forte, so you'll be well off with stuff that reduces or nullifies element damage. Or casting reflect... luckily Geo is stupid enough not to know Dispel. Checking its status weaknesses it isn't immune to slow and Magic Break, which is one of primary things you should focus on in the battle, should you wish to emerge victorious. Be aware that Geo's 'punch' hits all girls, not just one - it's used fairly frequently, so healing on regular bases is also one of things you mustn't forget to do. ***************************************************************************** Defeating Geo will spit out 5th plate (which is controled by T4) - now either approach T3 and kill Geo three times, or kill PG three times at T1, choice is yours. Circle of 'life' has been completed. Hop via the plates all the way down and take the entrance. You'll find RIBBON ACC in lone chest here. Go back all the way up to six towers. Behind T2 is a chain leading to one more chest with 500 GIL. Same deal is with T3 (along with chest with GLASS BUCKLE ACC there's a robot fight) and T5 (again, a robot fight and a chest with PEARL NECKLACE ACC). David C. comments (modified a bit by me): I've written a suggestion on how to complete the sequence of towers to the plates after you've setup the first three... Using my numbering of towers, they relate like this: Tower 1: Advance a plate clockwise 1 spot (Fight Precepts Guard) Tower 2: Select Plate F Tower 3: Advance a plate anti-clockwise 1 spot (Fight Georapella) Tower 4: Select Plate E Tower 5: Advance a plate 3 spots (Opposite to where it was) Tower 6: Select Plate D And a diagram so you can cotton on to my code.... 1 /-----\ / A \ / \ / \ 2 | B F | 6 | | | | | | | | | | 3 | C E | 5 \ / \ D / \-------/ 4 roomofshadows comments: If you neglected (or didn't want to) getting the Ribbon at this chance, know that you can return for it later. Here's how you can proceed about getting it - activate the towers in any order you choose. As previously mentioned, after fighting PG and Geo, you may choose to fight them again and again. First enter the corridor you are supposed to continue with, then run back out; this resets the plate that is activated. Fighting Geo at T3 will shuffle the fourth plate counterclockwise, one space for each optional fight you engage in. Fight him until the fourth plate is one space to the left of the third (so that you basically continue the staircase downward). Touch the door of T4, then go back to T3 and fight Geo again. The fifth plate moves counterclockwise one space. Continue until it is one space to the left of the fourth plate. Touching the door of T2 will allow you to move the sixth (bottom) plate, until it is in front of the annex where you get Ribbon. If you want some fights with high EXP and a bit of hassle on your side, now's your chance. Examining T1 repeatedly allows you to fight PG indefinitely, while T3 ensures fights against Geo. Getting to LV30 will be successful in no time. Oh, I should warn you that both Georapella and PG can enter oversoul when killed certain amount of times, so do be on your toes - going to save every so often is not a bad idea. Patrick L. has informed me about stealing Recovery Bracer from oversouled PG - a nice way of getting Auto-Regen early in the game. CheesyPuffs suggests to steal Short Circuit from oversouled Geo. When you have the feeling you have enough, leave this area by leaping down to 3rd plate and entering another part of Bevelle temple, called 'B - labyrinth'. You're right, another straighforward path. Drop down, then climb twice to open the chest for 4x ETHER. Drop down, continue N and climb some more, then jump over to next ledge. As you drop down, open another chest somewhat hidden here - it contains 4x REMEDY. At 1stcross take E path. You'll be in next part of corridor - as you get to the chasm, step on middle pillar to cause a lift to appear. Use it and it will carry you across. You'll appear at lower levels of 'B - restricted'. Get the chest here which contains DOWNTRODDER GG, then return via the lift to 1st cross in 'B - labyrinth' and take W path. Climb either left or right pillar. Then climb whichever pillar *you didn't climb first* to gain access to further parts of Bevelle temple. You'll be in 'B - gaol', a room with a gigantic machine. Open the chest in NW corner of the room for 5x PHOENIX DOWN, then go to where Fatso and Slim are standing. From this position go SW until Yuna falls off ledge to a big platform with switch plate. Step on it to stop the gaol. Step on switch again to get gaol moving - now watch the pistons. Wait until one of them rotates into position so that it will be aligned with Fatso and Slim. If piston falls down so that piston's top is just above the floor level where Fatso and Slim are standing, step on the switch to stop the gaol. Now climb onto the piston and go up the ramp. You will need to press Square to signal Rikku to operate the pistons. You can only call Rikku when Yuna is standing in a safe place - safe place being one of many ledges on the back wall. Look at pistons' positions. Only two of them can point toward back wall at any given time. I'll refer to them as left-rear piston and right-rear piston. But the process will be real easy anyway. Piston can be in highest, middle or lowest position. Okies, with Yuna jump to one of the ledges in the back and press Square. Pistons will start to move - pay attention to the two pistons that will become rear-left piston and rear-right piston for now. As soon as left-rear piston rises to highest level and rear-right piston is on middle level, press Square again. Jump on rear-right piston, climb the ramp onto rear-left piston and use it to jump on the ledge of back wall, where a chest with BLOODLUST ACC can be found. Square again. This time wait for rear-left piston to be on highest level, and rear-right piston to be on lowest level. Make your way to rear-right piston, jump on the ledge, thru the door to 'B - restricted', where a chest with WRING ACC awaits your girls. Now how to get back? Square to Rikku - wait until either of rear pistons is on lowest level - this is where you press Square again. Now jump on either piston, make your way to front piston's top and simply jump down. Go W now to reach 'B - laybrinth 2'. Approach the wall which will fall away. Ahead you see three lifts. Use left one first - on upper level climb both elevations to get access to final lift up here (open the chest for HI-POTION). Now go S all the way until you fall down. Use N lift now to be transported to elevated switch - climb onto it and two pillars will rise somewhere. Go back down, and now ride right lift to upper level. Take left lift back down to lower level. Use N lift again and you get access to another elevated switch - climb onto it and you have now complete access to dark knight DSP. Use the lift to ride back down, then use left lift to go back up to upper level. Finally use top lift here to get even higher... In case the above paragraph makes you go ?????, follow this URL: kolardamir.com/ffx2/dark-knight-dsp Up here use the pillars you've been rising to collect DARK KNIGHT DSP, then save your game at handy SSP. Use platforms on the right to cross the gap and prepare yourself... ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - MR B. --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 3380 | 540 | 1000 | 10 | 1300 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, CON, BER, CUR, EJE, SLOW, STOP, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Pearl Necklace | Charm Bangle | none Pearl Necklace | Charm Bangle | none ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Absorb - VS one chr - amount of HP&MP deducted is added to Mr B.'s HP&MP ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY A challenging boss indeed. Too bad we're overleveled thanks to Geo and PG trick not long back. If you still get owned, level up a bit more. But with your latest dark knight outfit you should have little to no problems. Mr B.'s attacks hit for 200 damage a pop (he's capable of launching multiple PATK as a single command, so beware). Demi can't kill you, but Looming Glacier's ability to stop your girls as well as completely obliterate their MP is annoying. Stopproof acc is useful here (or thief DSP with Stopproof PASA) - if you have no means of preventing stop, you'll need to use Esuna or Remedy to remove it. Do not ignore stop status or you will be sorry - counteract immediately. Don't get too crowded near him or else his Glint will hurt all three girls - to avoid that you might want to consider using long range jobs such as gunner, gun mage or alchemist. A nice way to start the battle is having a girl change into white mage and cast Shell and Protect - that way you'll greatly reduce damage he's dealing to your team. Anyway, since Ethers aren't exactly excessive and you prolly don't have much with you, plus he loves to lower or empty your MP, rely solely on PATK. Beware his Drill Shot! If target's HP isn't above 75% MAX HP, girl will be KO-ed and you'll need to do some reviving - luckily damage can be halved with protect. Drill Shot is used after Mr B.'s HP has been changed 10 times - that means if he is attacked ten times, he'll use Drill Shot against the girl who used that 10th attack. To ensure damage will be given to him, you may wish to employ dark knight's Darkness - at expense of some HP Mr B. is guaranteed to take damage. Use Hi- Potions to heal your wounds... soon you'll be able to buy them (if not already thanks to O'aka), so go all out. ***************************************************************************** Return to SSP and save your game, then backtrack and continue further to 'B - limbo'.

'Smash' - VS one chr - phd 2. Countdown - five turn countdown limit to Mega Flare attack 3. Mega Flare - NATT VS all chrs - mgd 4. Curse - VS one chr - induces curse 5. Impulse - FRATT VS all chrs - fractional std, tears off 37,5% of current HP ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY First of the bunch and also the easiest. To get you started, here's its attack pattern: Curse or 'smash', 'smash', 'smash', Impulse, Impulse, countdown, Mega Flare. Rinse and repeat until defeated. I know you are taken by surprise (hell, I was, since I know what happened to aeons at end of FFX), but Dark B. is not hard at all. Smash hits for 120 damage, Curse and Countdown can't kill you, Impulse is fractional attack (dependant on *current* HP), and Mega Flare does about 500 damage. Problems with all that? Naaah. Bring in white mage and two dark knights. Have white mage Protect everybody, then keep up Cura/ga-on-all-girls tech, while dark knights slowly chip away at Dark B.'s health. BTW, damage done by Impulse cannot be reduced, but it doesn't matter anyway, since attack itself can't kill you. After you see Dark B. launch third 'smash' (meaning his next attack will be Impulse) you can go all out. For next seven B.'s turns you will NOT be KO-ed. Just before B. unleashes Mega Flare, ensure that your HP is at least above 700 - else meet the infamous KO. Remember not to be scared of B.'s attacks cos they're not as powerful as you may think. ***************************************************************************** With this Storyline Mission 8 has come to an end.

By visiting all locations in CH3 this will prompt Shinra to tag along and plant CommSphere at a certain place - please note that just visiting the area won't be enough sometimes; you'll need to visit correct spot in the area too.

Sphere Break contest! And there's an awesome DSP to be won, which of course is what we want. Goooo, Yuna! After scene is finished, you're given these coins: 5x REPTILE COIN, 5x BIRD COIN, 5x WASP COIN and 5x AHRIMAN COIN. Yuna will be standing in 'Square' - to your right you'll see Shelinda, Rin and a kid wearing a beak. Talk to him to rewise Sphere Break rules or tournament rules. Here's a short recap of tournament rules: - you can only use coins prescribed for the tournament - you must win three matches to advance - you can't play against same person more than once - if you lose three matches, you're out A couple of easy opponents include guy walking around in 'Square' - this guy has Fresh Catch core sphere. Second opponent that is fairly easy is an old guy sitting down on 'Bridge'. After you waste them both, SAVE YOUR GAME! Now comes the somewhat hard part - your attempt is to win White Signet GG, Treasure Hunt GG and lady luck DSP as an added bonus. To get first of aforementioned GG, you'll need to challenge woman with the dog, sitting on a bench to the left of the status on 'Square' - she's only available for playing if you've won two games. You will have 15 turns to meet 40 quota. Advice? Keep checking border coins to see if there's one that has Item trait. If there is, make sure you include it in one of the chains ASAP - doing so will net you WHITE SIGNET GG. NOW MAKE SURE YOU LOSE THE GAME! Simply let the timer run out or whatever. Save your game again - well, you got one GG already. Now seek out third easy opponent to be wasted - how about blond guy leaning against NW wall in 'Square'? After you waste him, it's time to face the champion - 'It's elementary really, once you get the hang of it.' Yuna'll make you eat those words. As with the dog before, this match is very similar, but with few differences: you have 15 turns to meet 50 quota, and chances of getting core sphere of 1 is also very high. Again, make use of two coin echoes - if you're lucky enough not to get core sphere of 1, you'll win by 12th turn or so. Also, make sure to check border coins for Item trait - if there is one, include it in a chain to get TREASURE HUNT GG. If you win, Yuna also receives LADY LUCK DSP. 'My goggles fogged up.' Sure they did, hehe. Just a reminder - should you lose and don't wish to be bothered by Sphere Break, you forfeit lady luck DSP for now. You can try to get it again in CH5 by challenging Shinra, who will be in Luca in one of the basements, only this time you'll have to win in 15 turns and meet 100 quota. What's there left to do? In 'Outskirts' make a jump to the chest to get 3x LUNAR CURTAIN. And how about revisiting 'T - reception' to purchase new movie and music spheres? Shinra's CommSphere is installed just by visiting Luca. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4C.

The machina deployed along the Mi'ihen Highroad have started attacking innocent people. Take out the misbehaving machina and restore peace to the Highroad! Objective: Incapacitate 13 tandems of machina ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ Machines are outta control? Who's gonna stop them? Worry not, Yuna's here! As soon as you enter the area, option is presented. Select top choice to start the mission. Be careful, for there is another group involved in destroying the machines. In order to have this mission accomplished, amount of machines destroyed by YRP must be higher than the amount of machines destroyed by other group (score is kept for viewing in lower right corner). If you manage to do that, rewards are quite handsome. You can choose your starting point like this: if you beam down with the airship, you'll start at 'Highroad - S end'; but if you enter from Mushroom side, you will begin the mission in 'Highroad, N end'. I definitely recommend starting at S end. So, start the mission at S-most end of Mi'ihen road - look at your minimap closely - each green square spotted means that there's a machine gone crazy and needs to be destroyed for further examination. In total there's 13 groups of crazy machines scattered over Mi'ihen - three fights on 'Highroad - S end', one fight on 'Highroad - S', three fights on 'Highroad - central', none on 'Highroad - agency, front', three on 'Highroad - oldroad, S', three on 'Highroad - newroad, N' (here, MAKE SURE THAT YOU ATTACK machina located nearest to the exit to 'Highroad - N end', as it is vastly important for getting an awesome acc in CH5; access to both fights is granted by holding down Circle so that Yuna jumps to the place of encounter). If you make sure you aren't stopping for too long, you'll have dismantled 10 sets of machina tops. You must, however, whack at least 7 sets, one of those sets being the machina I explicitly mention in above paragraph. Once 13th machine group is destroyed and if your girls have managed to whack at least 7 groups, girls receive 10000 GIL, UNDYING STORM GG and MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Approach him so that he mentions sth about CommSpheres (again, MUCHO IMPORTANTO for CH5)... As far as items go, everything listed in item checklist can be found in chests. Also, make sure to visit 'H - agency, front' to ensure Shinra installs a CommSphere there. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5C.

But if you've given the sphere back to New Yevon, there won't be any HS in Mushroom. Still, visiting Mushroom is important for adding % to your completion. When you enter the area, go to where read arrow in minimap is pointing. You'll see Shinra planting a CommSphere in front of the entrance to Mushroom, but later he runs off past the blockade - this sets the CommSphere. A scene with Yaibal and Lucil will be triggered. Now visit N part of this screen where the stone lift is - use it to reach the chest with 2000 GIL. Finally head over to to Djose temple (do not worry, this will NOT trigger storyline mission 11!) to have another with white-haired boy - BUT YOU HAVE TO DO THIS BEFORE COMPLETING STORYLINE MISSIONS AT KILIKA AND BESAID! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6C.

Why? You need to complete storyline missions 9 and 10 first. Also, if you already witnessed the scene from Mushroom before, you'll find Gippal in front of the entrance to Djose temple. Approach him and you get AL BHED PRIMER KEY ITEM after the scene. There's 3x PHOENIX DOWN to be grabbed in the chest on same screen, and 3x HI-POTION awaits you on 'D - p road'. When you'll be doing storyline mission 11, Shinra's CommSphere will be installed automatically. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7C.

Chat with red midget twice - and that's that for this area. Visiting this area also ensures installation of Shinra's CommSphere. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8C.

Arrrgh! Enter the Chateau now and check 'Ch. - living r' for a scene with Slim and Fatso. Afterwards go up the stairs in 'Ch. - private q' and check on LB. Back to the room with Slim and Fatso - go to them to trigger next scene. Hey look! The passage to 'Ch - hidden pass' is open - let's check it out! Proceed thru the hallway until you reach SSP - turn left and thru the circular door - open the chest for TETRA BAND ACC. Now take a look at minimap - see how there's a shape of 'C' letter around the room where you're in? And at the base it seems to be connected? That's your clue - directions provided now are based on minimap. Have Yuna turn S and climb stack of boxes by holding Circle. Climb up higher once more and you'll be on the catwalk. Make it all the way around and storm the chest for CRIMSON SPHERE 4 KEY ITEM (make sure you watch it as soon as you're aboard Celsius!). Remember the room where you fought Slim and Fatso? Check it out again and another scene will unfold. You will score LOGOS' SPHERE and ORMI'S SPHERE KEY ITEM-s. Go to the place Slim was checking before for two spheres and press X for another scene and GAOL SPHERE KEY ITEM. Then approach the chatterbox and pick [Please, go on.] for bla bla bla...

Items mentioned in item checklist are all found in chests, so get to stealing from them. Shinra's CommSphere will be installed when you visit 'TP - south'. Regarding Cid two possible events can occur (look for purple X on minimap): - If you've picked [Not really.] when talking to Cid in CH1, he'll appear in 'TP - south' just before you cross to 'TP - north'. Have a chat with him. - If you've picked [You bet I do!] when talking to Cid in CH1 AND have talked to him when visiting Thunder p. in CH2, he'll appear in 'TP - south' somewhere between second and third tower. Talk to him. One more issue can be taken care of... remember two Ronso kids you met in Calm lands in CH2? They're located in N Thunder p. now almost at the end under the shelter in NW corner - you really can't miss them as they're also marked with purple X in minimap. Have a chat with them too and pick top option when given choice (you can choose between [Djose Temple.], [The Moonflow.] and [Kilika Island.]. Note that if you haven't met them in Calm lands before in CH2, they *will not* appear here. Your choice of where to send two young Ronsos doesn't affect your game much. It will only affect the place they will appear at in CH4.

Rout the fiends that have attacked the Travel Agency! There's no time to heal between battles, so you'll just have to withstand them all! Objective: Win six consecutive battles ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ You will need to fight six consecutive battles, so make sure you're well prepared! If you think you can't handle next enemies or need to heal in between, you're given a choice between each bout - pick [Fight!] to continue fighting, or [Flee.] to be given an option to heal - in latter case girls withdraw to 'MW - lake road', where you can regroup. Beware, you have about three seconds to decide - if you don't select anything on your own, next battle will issue automatically. Finish all six rounds and you get this loot: BERSERKER DSP, PRIDE OF THE SWORD GG, AL BHED PRIMER KEY ITEM and MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! There's also a chest here with X-POTION.

Exit the agency any try to leave for another scene. Now go to 'MW - spring 2' - if you have accomplished sidequest mission Head to the already known X cross and take NE exit - talk with all three small musicians for something to appear. Examine this with X for HOWLING WIND GG. And finally, you can storm one chest with NULFROST RING ACC in 'MW - central 1', while GOLD BRACER ACC awaits you in a chect in 'MW - central 2'. Now, let's delve into details about Macalania's shop outpost destiny. There's a few possible destinies that this shop will see: - you got O'aka onboard Celsius in CH1 or CH2, paid off his debt before CH2 ended - shop remains closed for duration of CH3, but reopens in CH5 under O'aka's management - you got O'aka onboard Celsius in CH1 or CH2, but didn't pay off his debt before CH2 ended - shop remains closed for duration of CH3, but reopens in CH5 under Al Bhed management with a rather crummy list of items and acc - you handed O'aka to Al Bhed in CH1 or CH2, and then found him digging in Bikanel in CH2 - shop remains closed for duration of CH3, but reopens in CH5 under O'aka's management - you handed O'aka to Al Bhed in CH1 or CH2, but didn't find him digging in Bikanel in CH2 - shop remains closed for duration of CH3, but reopens in CH5 under Al Bhed management with a rather crummy list of items and acc There's two Shinra's CommSphere to be installed here - one in front of the agency (after completing the subquest go to Macarena lake again to make sure it was installed), and the other in the vicinity of SSP in 'MW - south'. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11C.

Objective: Find the Ten Gatekeepers ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ Until you complete it, there will be HS over Bikanel. For this CH we can only go up until Cactuar numero six. Cactuar hunter minigame is now in session! These guys are now hiding all over Spira, making your hunt even more futile. Nooo! Fret not, you have me to uncover all the secrets there are.:) To start, pay attention to minimap. Cacti that give clues to Cactuar's whereabouts are marked as green squares and give off a green aura (please note that N-most green cactus isn't important yet!). Carefully look at the hints given and try to figure out where the hell it's hiding (or just look below). When you want to leave this part of the desert, go to NE corner, examine the vehicle and select [Yeah, it's time we left.]. 1st: Back in Al Bhed Camp, talk to the pilot and select [Oasis]. Cactuar is here. But BEFORE you touch it, talk to the Hypello (if it appears, that is - if it doesn't, just go on with the game), for it sells some awesome acc (list of goods is found below). Now touch the Cactuar and complete the minigame (doesn't matter if you win) and needles are yours. Now that you have it, return to Al Bhed camp, talk to pilot again and this time select [Cactuar Nation]. Back in cactus area approach the green boxed one and talk with it to officially confirm the catch. Now another cactus will turn green... talk to it and onto 2nd Cactuar. 2nd: You'll need to pay a visit to 'B - beach' (as long as you don't enter the village, storyline mission will wait). Cactuar is taking a sunbath there - make sure you make a drop on it! 3rd: Guadosalam is your third destination. Enter the Chateau and go into the secret area where you had your last fights against the Syndicate. In one of the rooms you'll spot a funny chest... if you shoot the chests during this cact-war, you may receive an item! 4th: Calm lands - bridge between Gagazet and Calm lands screen. Here you'll find two Cactuars riding on a chocobo... 5th: Same as 4th Cactuar. 6th: N-most end of 'TP - north'. There's a shelter-like structure found in this area - look for Cactuar stone opposite of it. What's that green shining nearby? This is as far as we can go for this CH.

When you set foot in the area, go N thru the door, then keep walking until you witness a scene. Back on board of Celsius beam to Bevelle again and go all the way to the place where you fought 'impulsive' boss. Here address Pacce to trigger a scene - when option is presented, pick [Go for it!] to receive BLOOD OF THE BEAST GG; this is the only way to receive this GG - if you gave the sphere to Youth League, only portion of Bevelle available for exploring is 'Highbridge' OTHER REFERENCES: STUFF007 Did you know that one more thing can be taken care of? Read on - after you complete both storyline missions 9 and 10 (and REGARDLESS of who you sided with), but BEFORE you tackle storyline mission 11, return to Bevelle yet again. A scene with a known face will be played - enter 'New Yevon HQ 1' and ride the lift up. Here go past three old geezers thru now open door to reach 'B - central, catwalk'. Talk to two monks here to receive ELECTROCUTIONER ACC and HYPNO CROWN ACC. Now visit 'New Yevon HQ 4' and examine bottom pedestal - lift in 'New Yevon HQ 1' will now take you to 'B - trials 1'. In here storm six chests for OATH VEIL ACC, 5000 GIL, 4x REMEDY, 9x POTION, 5x PHOENIX DOWN and 5x HI-POTION. Proceed making your way deeper - in 'B - antechamber' save your game and open the chest for 2x CHOCOBO FEATHER. In 'B - restricted' area (which you access once you jump thru the hole in 'B - fayth chamber') walk to N end of balcony and approach the edge in order for Yuna to slide down the chain. If you didn't get it in CH2 and you want Ribbon, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY AS TOLD! Three uppermost plates are already activated, as you were descending here back in CH2. You'll be standing near one of six towers. This tower will be referred to as T1. Counting in anti-clockwise direction the rest will be dubbed T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6. Towers you already must've activated are T1, T3 and T5. Now that access to entrance down in the pit is granted, don't hop down just yet! We gotta get ourselves a Ribbon! Now activate T6 and kill next robot. 4th plate (controled by T6) will emerge in the pit. Now approach T1 and kill PG four times. Activating T2 is your next objective - kill another robot too! T2 controls 6th plate, which will emerge now. Back to T1 and kill PG two times. Finally activate T4... Defeating Geo will spit out 5th plate (which is controled by T4) - now either approach T3 and kill Geo three times, or kill PG three times at T1, choice is yours. Circle of 'life' has been completed. Hop via the plates all the way down and take the entrance. You'll find Ribbon acc in lone chest here. Go back all the way up to six towers. Behind T2 is a chain leading to one more chest with 800 GIL. Same deal is with T3 (along with chest with FAERIE EARRINGS ACC there's a robot fight) and T5 (again, a robot fight and a chest with BEADED BROOCH ACC). When you have the feeling you have enough, leave this area by leaping down to 3rd plate and entering another part of Bevelle temple, called 'B - labyrinth'. You're right, another straighforward path. Drop down, then climb twice to open the chest for 5x ETHER. Drop down, continue N and climb some more, then jump over to next ledge. As you drop down, open another chest somewhat hidden here - it contains 5x REMEDY. At 1stcross take W path... or in case you haven't yet nabbed Downtrodder GG at the end of E path, get it now (if you already got this GG from the chest in earlier CH, shest disappears). Climb either left or right pillar. Then climb whichever pillar *you didn't climb first* to gain access to further parts of Bevelle temple. You'll be in 'B - gaol', a room with a gigantic machine of sorts. Open the chest in NW corner of the room for 6x PHOENIX DOWN. Read this and next couple of paragraphs if you skipped getting Bloodlust and Wring acc in CH2 - contributors Debremus and kokoro comment that Bloodlust chest is still here for taking. Go to where Fatso and Slim were standing in CH2 (remember?). From this position go SW until Yuna falls off ledge to a big platform with switch plate. Step on it to stop the gaol. Step on switch again to get gaol moving - now watch the pistons. Wait until one of them rotates into position so that it will be aligned with Fatso and Slim. If piston falls down so that piston's top is just above the floor level where Fatso and Slim are standing, step on the switch to stop the gaol. Now climb onto the piston and go up the ramp. You will need to press Square to signal Rikku to operate the pistons. You can only call Rikku when Yuna is standing in a safe place - safe place being one of many ledges on the back wall. Look at pistons' positions. Only two of them can point toward back wall at any given time. I'll refer to them as left-rear piston and right-rear piston. But the process will be real easy anyway. Piston can be in highest, middle or lowest position. Okies, with Yuna jump to one of the ledges in the back and press Square. Pistons will start to move - pay attention to the piston that will become rear-left piston and rear-right pistons for now. As soon as left-rear piston rises to highest level and rear-right piston is on middle level, press Square again. Jump on rear-right piston, climb the ramp onto rear-left piston and use it to jump on the ledge of back wall, where a chest with Bloodlust acc can be found. Square again. This time wait for rear-left piston to be on highest level, and rear-right piston to be on lowest level. Make your way to rear-right piston, jump un the ledge, thru the door to 'B - restricted', where a chest with Wring acc awaits your girls. Now how to get back? Square to Rikku - wait until either of rear pistons is on lowest level - this is where you press Square again. Now jump on either piston, make your way to front piston's top and simply jump down. Go W now to reach 'B - laybrinth 2'. If you skipped getting dark knight DSP in CH2, now's your second chance - follow these instructions exactly. Approach the wall which will fall away. Ahead you see three lifts. Use left one first - on upper level climb both elevations to get access to final lift up here (open the chest for REMEDY). Now go S all the way until you fall down. Use N lift now to be transported to elevated switch - climb onto it and two pillars will rise somewhere. Go back down, and now ride right lift to upper level. Take left lift back down to lower level. Use N lift again and you get access to another elevated switch - climb onto it and you have now complete access to dark knight DSP. Use the lift to ride back down, then use left lift to go back up to upper level. Finally use top lift here to get even higher... Up here use the pillars you've been rising to collect dark knight DSP, then save your game at handy SSP. Use platforms on the right to cross the gap and prepare yourself... ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - MALBORO, MALBORO species --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 5877 | 110 | 310 | 1 | 370 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH 6171 | 110 | 540 | 2 | 480 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, POI, CON, BER, CUR, SLOW, STOP, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- 2x Remedy [TwistHdband]| Hi-Potion [8x Remedy] | Remedy [BeadedBroch] 3x Remedy [TwistHdband]| 2xHi-Potion[10x Remedy]| Remedy [BeadedBroch] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

[Ingest Eye Drops] - VS one chr - phd, decreases Eye Drops stock by 5 ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY Why hello there, it sure is nice meeting you... aaaah, it's da Malboro! Run or Bad Breath gets you! Jobs of choice is white mage with dark knights who have mastered anti-status PASA, which will ensure they're afflicted with as less statuses as possible. Believe it or not, but this Malboro is quite easy to be killed - two facts speak for that. First is that it can only attack one girl at a time, and second is that it uses Bad Breath after sustaining damage for 10 times (on all other turns it will use 'squirt'). Even so, be advised - 'squirt' inflicts four breaks on your girls, so longer you take to kill it, bigger the damage you'll be receiving and lesser the damage you'll be giving. When checking status immunities for this guy, you may notice that it can be afflicted with darkness. Big deal, for even with max EVA you will still take hits. But you can inflict all breaks on it, thus making your battle at least somewhat easier. Let's rock finally. As battle initiates, white mage casts Protect, then switch her into third dark knight and keep attacking mercilessly. Weed must die before you attack it for 10th time, or else Bad Breath is imminent on Malboro's next turn, in which case just hope it doesn't affect your girls in too much ways. If you get berserked, that's good, but it's not good if you get confused. Should latter be the case, Esuna or Remedy immediately. If Malboro manages to pile the breaks onto your girls all the way to 10th level, there's one drastic measure you can try - KO such girl and revive her for all breaks to be gone. In case Malboro is OSF, your item stock becomes possible target area. Malboro gains the ability to destroy your Eye Drops and Antidotes in a flash. In addition, its Halitosis will force you to constantly switch DSP (equip Favorite Outfit to be Itchproof), possibly making you forget to lead the battle at hand. Do not allow that - Malboro may only be a slightly harder. Okay, so you may no longer predict when Bad Breath will be used, but hey, where'd the challenge be then? 'Chomp' inflicts huge damage, so protect being in place is a wise decision. BTW, you cannot evade it, for it always hits. Don't worry about your item stock, though - all of the items that can get possibly destroyed can easily be bought later. Malboro is still susceptible to both slow and all seven status breaks. Luckily for you, it has lost the ability to pile up status breaks on you. ***************************************************************************** After the battle pick up CRIMSON SPHERE 1 KEY ITEM lying in plain sight (make sure you watch it as soon as you're aboard Celsius!).

They hold the key to unlocking its secrets. Objective: Save the tourists from the fiends ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ There's 15 people trapped inside the cave. Your objective is to find them and bring them safely out of the cave. I'll describe a way in which you will make four trips total inside the cave. To make it harder on you, each person you'll talk to will inform you of some stupid crap they prefer or dislike. Who cares about that... simply follow this guidelines here and you'll be finished in no time. To have it easy on directions, pay attention to minimap as I will be using it for reference! As you enter, go N and you'll be in 1st room with non-functional teleport pad. Go E and at 1stcross go E again to locate 1st person. Back to 1stcross and now go N to reach 2nd room and 2nd person. Further N is 2ndcross and 3rd person. Go W for now and pay attention - mash X as soon 4th person will come running. If you miss him, return to 2nd room and collect him. Now go back to 1st room to clear the 'luggage'. You will receive ENERGY CORE 1 and ENERGY CORE 2. Back to 2ndcross now hike E to 3rd room, where you will collect 5th, 6th and 7th person - also nab WHITE RING ACC. Again back to 2ndcross, go W and at 3rdcross go E to find 8th person. At 3rdcross now go N and you will find 9th and 10th person as well as BLUE RING ACC. Back to 1st room to clear another 'luggage'. You will receive ENERGY CORE 3 and ENERGY CORE 4. Now return to 3rdcross and go W to reach 4thcross. Go W again and mash X to find 11th person, which is 'hiding' behind the wall. Follow two kids that have escaped via E path of 4thcross into 4th room - you'll find them kneeling towards N end of 4th room (this accounts 12th and 13th person). Take them all back to the entrance - you receive ENERGY CORE 5 and ENERGY CORE 6. But this time you should go out as well. Outside talk to one of the guys staring at the entrance to receive an ENERGY CORE 7, which will help you find last two people still stuck in the cave. Use the teleport in 1st room to reach 4th room. Now face E side and step on teleport to reach 5th room with 14th person inside (make sure to loot treasure first for LIGHTNING GLEAM ACC). Get him back to the entrance - with ENERGY CORE 8 you receive now you have access to W side of teleporter in 4th room. In there you will find 15th and last person to be rescued, which you will of course take outside - plunder the chest for WALL RING ACC. Now that all people are safe, you might want to consider saving, for we're about to face a boss. Go to 4th room yet again, but this time teleport to the N side to reach boss chamber. ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - DARK Y. --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 22000 | 9999 | 2000 | 15 | 1500 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, EJE, SLOW, STOP, STR down, DEF down, MAG down, MDEF down, ACCU down, EVA down, LCUK down, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Recovery Bracer | Power Wrist | none Recovery Bracer | Power Wrist | none ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. Daigoro - VS one chr - phd 2. Kozuka - VS one chr - tears off 25% current MP, induces poison 3. Wakizashi - VS one chr OR all chrs - phd 4. Zanmato - VS all chrs - std, reduces HP and MP of all girls to 1 ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY With lonely exception of Zanmato, memorize this - boss can attack and thus also kill only one girl at once. Daigoro is fairly weak PATK for 200 damage a pop, Kozuka damages girl's current MP and Wakizashi inflicts about 300 damage. But fear Zanmato - it reduces both HP and MP to 1 measly point. As soon as Zanmato has happened, one girl heals immediately and keep other two at standby in case boss happens to pull attack faster and KO a girl. Prior to battle maximize girls' AGL and DEF. Screw MP, we won't need it that much anyway. Also forget about statuses you were hoping to inflict on the boss. With rare exceptions it's immune to almost everything. If you already have samurai DSP from storyline mission 10, consider throwing some cash. As battle starts, you're fairly safe for some rounds before things get hectic - Kozuka will frequently poison your girls, so be on standby to counter this with Antidotes, while Daigoro makes sure to whittle girls' HP down. Or if you have dark knights who have already mastered Poisonproof PASA, so much better! One thing less to worry about. Kozuka is quite useless (we won't be relying on magic at all), while Wakizashi is only a bit stronger than Daigoro IMO. Pay attention to Dark Y.'s charging stances - if you see it lift its right hand in front of its face, Zanmato is coming up next! Immediately prep Mega- Potion and use it. There's a 33% chance Dark Y. might still act a bit faster than the healer and will KO someone with a damaging attack, in which case it is wise to react quickly and use Phoenix Down. The way of the sheeze shows: use two white mages and one warrior or dark knight. Now what you do is have your white mages continously use Pray, while third girl slowly but surely brings down Dark Y.'s HP. When Zanmatoed, two quick Prays will ensure that you don't get wiped out by Daigoro or Wakizashi. ***************************************************************************** MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! If you saved all 15 people, you will receive TETRA MASTER GG. Contributors NGEVA and Skhool101 comment: I managed to save 12 people and I still got this GG. So all is not lost after all - just make sure you nab 12 people and your GG collection will rise. Also, it's highly beneficial you visit N most room in 'CL - cavern' yet again - this time you can plunder a chest there that contains STAR BRACER ACC. Note that Publicity m., Bridal m., chocobo breeding (if you bothered to accomplish the requirements for it in CH2) and lots of other minigames found here are still available for your pleasure, so have fun! MAKE SURE you visit the agency in the middle of Calm lands again - Shinra will install one of his CommSpheres there. If chocobo ranch is open, go there - tag to upper floor by taking the ramp in the middle; doing so will make Shinra install yet another CommSphere. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14C.

Meet him on the summit of Mt. Gagazet and stop him - by force, if that's what it takes.

You'll have to climb Gagazet the hard way. Make it all the way to 'G - fayth scar 1'. This time no climbing for you (it doesn't pay back anyway, as chests haven't been refilled, but you may want to revisit Floating Ruins from CH1, just in case you've forgotten some chests to be stormed), but instead choose path to the left and you'll find yourself inside Gagazet caverns. BTW, stepping on teleport pads as you climb will release the seal on them. Continue your climb until you reach 'G - summit region', but SAVE YOUR GAME before you exit... Depending on your answers to Ronso questions presented on CH1 and CH2, following boss battle can unwind in two ways. If you didn't answer any questions at all, or have missed too many of them, then please read boss entry just below to learn of the strategy for the battle.

'Stab' - VS one chr - phd 2. MP Blowout - VS one chr - robs the girl of all MP ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY A challenge worthy of your time! You may very well have a lot of problems on your hands, esp considering Garik's Mighty Guard, which grants a lot of useful POSSE on all enemies which are still present in battle. Not only that, is also increased DEF, MDEF and EVA of all enemies - if not disposed of quickly, you'll have troubles hitting them and dealing massive amounts of damage will also be a big problem. The easy way to win this battle is having one girl turn into black mage and equip her with Gris-Gris Bag you've won from Dark B. This will make her immune to curse status. Now all that Garik will do in battle is attack black mage only with Bane Lance. This means no Mighty Guard - woot? Some preparations are to be done before commencing the battle - improve girls' DEF and AGL. A good way of setting yourself up would be to have white mage and songstress - former will be setting up Protect only, while latter will be busy chanting Darkness Dance. And let's not forget dark knight. Why is white mage needed for Protect only? You'll be attacked by 'MP Blowout' a lot and it takes away all MP, making the need for MP quite useless. So when battle starts, white mage casts Protect and then changes into second dark knight. If you've been fluently practicing alchemist's job, you may consider mixing some nice combinations which deal fixed damage regardless of target's stats - only thing that can get in the way is protect and shell. If alchemist isn't an option, you still have attack items from your inventory to toss around. 'Stab' attack usually takes away around 200 HP, so this may encourage you a bit more into winning this battle. It often starts by Garik casting Mighty Guard right off the bat. If you're willing to spend time healing MP needed for white mage to keep casting Dispel (which removes all POSSE induced by Mighty Guard except stat increases), you better have a lot of Ethers in your sack. Both sidekicks will be busy attacking you for most of the time - until one decides that it might be a good idea to reduce one girl's MP to zero. Get rid of at least one sidekick ASAP to reduce the damage you're taking. Believe me, getting pummeled by three guys which have big status boosts ain't a pretty sight to look at. If you have any ability that confuses enemies (most of alchemist's status mixes have such effect, ie Potion + Sleep Grenade), by all means use it (poison inflicted will make sure they don't gain any HP back). And this battle is also another nice opportunity to test out some of SDSP. So, clear POSSE if you can afford to, cast Protect at start of battle, have songstress on Darkness Dance parade, while dark knights kill off sidekicks (or read on various other suggestions I've complied above) and then finish off Garik for good. ***************************************************************************** Now let's talk strategy in case you answered most of the questions correctly. ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - GARIK & 1x RONSO YOUTH GARIK'S STATS are the same as in above boss entry, but ATTACKS differ ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. 'Stab' - VS one chr - phd 2. Shell - on all enemy party or himself - bestows shell 3. Protect - on all enemy party or himself - bestows protect 4.

'Stab' - VS one chr - phd ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY This battle is so much easier. To prevent Garik from casting Shell and Protect, simply empty his MP and no more protective stuff for him. You may consider confusing him as well - and he may cast Mighty Guard on you. Unlike above boss battle variation, you will encounter one Ronso Youth in this one. All he will do is a simple PATK, and he doesn't possess MP Blowout attack, making him even easier. Simply use whatever you desire to take down these two bozos. ***************************************************************************** MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Sonic Wings - VS one chr - wipes away some of girl's MP ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY Dark V. is not to be taken lightly like first of its kind we've defeated at the end of CH2. However, if you know what's in the woods for you, this boss is manageable. For starters, it doesn't have any attack pattern it strictly follows, meaning you'll have to be on your toes for whole battle. Boss' 'smash' hits one for about 300 damage, Energy Ray hits all for 300, while Energy Blast deals 400 damage to all girls. Did you remember to buy lots of Hi-Potions on Celsius when I advised you to? Also prior to battle fix up girls' DEF and AGL, for boss is quite fast. Hi-Potions you've brought along will help manage to keep a steady flow of HP, unless you're considering bringing into battle white mage who will tip odds in your favor by Protect and Shell. Still problems with all that? Jobs of choice are two dark knights (I don't recommend samurais (ie, if you've cleared storyline mission 10 already)) and white mage. Have white mage Protect, then Shell everybody - afterwards you have two options. Either you keep up Cura/ga-on-all-girls tech or you use Hi- Potions or Mega-Potions to heal your wounds (in latter case employ alchemist who has learned Mega-Potion ACTA), while dark knights slowly chip away at Dark V.'s HP until it's defeated. Shell will help keep damage from Energy Ray and Energy Blast at a safe distance, only problem left being 'smash' which is used so often. Fortunately you can inflict all Breaks on boss, so you may also want to consider warrior's ACTA. Or how about berserker with Counterattack PASA? Every time you're attacked Dark V. will feel the pain right back. There are quite a few options for defeating this sucker, you just need to seek them out. ***************************************************************************** With this Storyline Mission 9 has come to an end.

Unfortunately it appears that Dark I. doesn't have a set attack pattern, sadly making him unpredictable. But with a big chunk of Hi-Potions you've brought along it ain't a problem to keep your HP up, yes? Prior to battling this guy check you acc and see if you have any fire resistant acc stuffed in there... if you do, make sure to equip those acc - you've just rendered 50% of Dark I.'s attacks weaker or completely obsolete. Only thing left to worry about is 'swipe' (Protect white magic) and Meteor Strike (Shell white magic). Okay, bring in white mage and two dark knights. Have white mage Shell everybody, and you may also want to employ using Protect just in case, then keep up Cura/ga-on-all-girls tech, while dark knights slowly chip away at Dark I.'s HP until it's defeated.

Thor's Hammer - NATT VS all chrs - mgd 5. Thundara - LATT VS all chrs - light mgd ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY Dark Ix. will be a problem child to defeat - Thundara strikes all for 150, 'Smash' strikes one for 200, Thor's Hammer all girls for 700 damage. Prior to battle check your inventory to see if you have any acc that reduce lightning damage in any way. Anything lightning related that you have equipped means one worry less of your back. Don't forget to have pockets bursting from a supply of Hi-Potion (alchemist will do perfect here). Here's boss attack pattern! Once it uses Aerospark for the fourth time, it'll use Recharge on next turn, followed by Thor's Hammer. Then pattern repeats. Boss relies heavily on lightning attacks. Jobs of choice are yet again white mage and two dark knights. Have white mage Shell everybody, and you may also want to employ using Protect just in case, then change her into third dark knight and help hacking other two. Percentage wise, there's 40% chance that Dark Ix. will use an attack that cannot kill you - Recharge on itself or Aerospark (gravity attack based on current HP, but damage done cannot be reduced in any way). As soon as you see boss cast Recharge on itself, heal yourself up - next attack coming is Thor's Hammer. If there's a chance, apply shell status as well, otherwise make sure your HP is around 1000 or so. Be advised - Thor's Hammer is NON-ELEMENTAL ATTACK. It is not lightning based. Should you choose to cripple the boss when it comes to offensive and defensive powers, feel free to bust it up will all breaks. Like Dark I., Dark Ix. as well isn't immune to them. It can also be slowed down, which is a recommended status to be used, as boss is quite fast in launching its attacks. ***************************************************************************** Big amount of scenes.

You'll see a map of Spira with four functional CommSpheres - Besaid, Kilika, Mushroom rock and Bevelle. Connect to these four at least once to trigger the event back in Celsius. Controls for camera: directionals move the camera in desired direction, R1 zooms in picture three times, then resets, while Square skips the sequence entirely. Connect to Besaid, turn camera right until you spot Wakka's house and wait a bit. Wakka will walk out and start blahblah... Then connect to Kilika - turn camera right and Dona will share her bit. Mushroom rock is next - talking straight away... Finally connect to Bevelle. Here you must wait few seconds for someone to appear and start talking - if he doesn't, turn camera around a bit, then reset the position and he will appear. BTW, if you've sided with New Yevon, CommSphere at Mushroom will be tossed in the ocean after viewing the scene there.

[Bruiser Tail] - FRATTP VS all chrs - fractional phd, tears off 37,5% MAX HP, delays hit girls' next turn, arc attack ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY 'Swipe', 'swipe', Flame Breath, 'swipe', 'swipe', Tail Smash... What's this, you ask? Boss' attack pattern, hehe. Quite easy to figure out, it was. To further exploit Zalamander's weaknesses, it's vulnerable to darkness and has a soft spot for ice damage. It can also be berserked (thus nullifying both sweep attacks) or ejected from battle (I'm sure you already have some ways at your disposal to do so). It's wise not to use any type of magic attacks on Zalamander, as it's immune to magic damage - however, items that deal mgd can affect it. Flame Breath hits all for 400 damage (fire resistant acc are welcome to be used), while its 'swipe' hits for 500 damage and Tail Smash clears off certain percentage of MAX HP. Okay, bring in white mage and two dark knights. Have white mage Protect everybody, then keep up Cura/ga-on-all-girls tech, while dark knights chip away at Zalamander's health until it's defeated. You just can't lose. If you've come to this boss underleveled or without attempting any subquests as all, you might have some problems with it. There's an easy solution, tho' - have a thief use Steal Will on Zalamander. It may miss occassionally, but this is the easiest way to get rid of it. Battling Zalamander in its OSF is not much different that regular form. It will start the battle by charging two turns for Crushing Tail. Use the time you're given to attack it mercilessly - leave no space for being slow. Crushing Tail will shave off 50% of MAX HP when it hits, but damage can be reduced by protect. Tip more odds in your favor by inflicting darkness on the bastard. If during charge moves Zalamander receives enough attacks, it will cancel its Crushing Tail attempt and prompt it to use Bruiser Tail. Zalamander still takes no magic damage in OSF. Unlike RGF, Zalamander's actions in OSF cannot be predicted, which means that its 'swipe' and Flame Breath are a game of chance. Once again, though, darkness on Zalamander and Fire Eater PASA of your girls make these two attacks a breeze. ***************************************************************************** When Zalamander is gone, loot the chest it was guarding for BLACK RING ACC. Now return to cave's entrance (if you wish, scavenge the rest of the chests inside here for X-POTION, ELIXIR, 2x PHOENIX DOWN and HASTE BANGLE ACC) and witness another scene. This time the % events are timed a bit, so you'll have to hurry! On the bridge whole Gullwings crew is gathered... TALK TO RIKKU FIRST, IMMEDIATELY, STRAIGHT AWAY - second time you talk to her she'll respond with regular text box - wait too long and she'll reposition herself near Shinra's seat, at which point you're screwed (if this happens, reload an earlier save). T.J.Fuller comments: After playing around with it, it seems she only moves over to Shinra after you hear either Brother's or Buddy's first spoken line (they each have two, as opposed to Rikku, Paine, & Shinra). After speaking to either of them, that's when one becomes screwed regarding Rikku's line ("I'm getting kinda nervous..."? That's it?). THEN talk to Bro, Buddy and Paine, until they all respond with regular text boxes. Finally address Shinra and then Rikku to trigger another scene. After that scene talk to midget you were chasing before and choose [On with the show!]. This is followed by song CGI. Feast your eyes on yet another girl. When in control, head to bridge. Old geezer I hate is back as well. After he finishes rambling, DO NOT TALK to Shinra yet. Instead board the elevator and head into 'C - engine room'. You'll find LB. here, so talk to her to receive CRIMSON SPHERE 5 KEY ITEM (make sure you watch it as soon as you have the chance!).

There's two parts of the story you can hear: - if your % completion is 60% or more, you will hear 1st part of the story - if your % completion is 75% or more, you will hear 2nd part of the story - if you have 75% or more and you're seeing Buddy storytelling for the first time, you will hear the whole deal Now, once you feel you're ready to take on those HS, talk to MN and a HS will appear in every single area.

When scene is over, examine the area S from the house marked as 'B - lodge' - you'll score BLACK LORE ACC! Next head to Besaid beach. On the way to the dock we will obtain these items: 'B - waterfall way 1' hides TWILIGHT RAIN KEY ITEM, drop down behind the first bridge to get it; 'B - cave' hides MEGA-POTION and 4x ETHER. Two items on 'B - beach' will have to wait until we talk to Beclem. So talk to him - you receive WAR BUDDY SPHERE KEY ITEM. Now you can reach secluded beach and rob two chests for 3500 GIL and 2x X-POTION. Go back to the village and you'll run into Wakka on the way - talk to him for a scene, then enter the village.

When on shore again, throw a look at the minimap - yellow square indicates location of INVINCIBLE ACC, whilst checking yellow X moving around awards you with 5x GEORAPELLA COIN. Back to white X and back to Kilika. Now enter Kilika woods - remember back in CH1 when you jumped on one of the trees in E part of the woods to get Megalixir in the well-hidden chest? Do the same now and score ARCANE LORE ACC. If you've already proceeded far enough with Cactuar hunting, you will find 7th Cactuar here. Jump back down and onto 'K - temple'. Nab X-POTION, MEGA-POTION and ETHER. There's MEGALIXIR waiting for you in 'K - monks' chambers', and in 'K - nuns' chambers' there's WALL RING ACC and REGEN BANGLE ACC. Enter the cloister: open the chests for CAT'S BELL ACC, WIZARD BRACELET ACC, 2x ETHER and 2x TURBO ETHER (this chest otherwise contains samurai DSP if you missed getting it in CH3).

Fortunately you don't have to play the minigame at all. When option is presented, choose [Let's do it!] to play, or [I don't think so!] to forfeit the game. Let's clear out some stuff regarding blitzball - there are no GG to be won from there, and in my opinion there's only one acc worthy enough to spark your interest: AP EGG ACC. I will not be making blitzball section this time around. In my opinion blitzball is made worse in this FF. There's no way for you to actively control the actions of your players - instead you're made a coach and you must make your players train in order to improve stats etc. Anyway, there's already a Blitzball FAQ available at below URL, so be sure to check it out. http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_2_blitzball.txt Entering 'Basement A' behind blitzball registration desk will allow you to pit yourself in Sphere Break minigame, should you desire. Also, if you didn't get lady luck DSP in CH3, now's your second chance! But beware, to beat Shinra, you must meet 100 quota in 20 turns with 30 secs per turn. Missing some songs and movies from your collection? Visit Luca theater to expand your collection then. Fourth point of interest and reason why we came here is... head to the stairs that lead to Mi'ihen road. From SSP found at base of those stairs go S and approach the fence... ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ FOLLOW THAT MOOGLE! There's furtive, floating, fluffy, flying moogle. What more do you need to know? Chase after it! Objective: Catch the moogle? ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ As the mission starts, have Yuna go right and down the stairs into 'Square'. Here you'll see a moogle floating about - catch up to it and press X to examine it and to trigger a scene. Go to 'bridge' afterwards and check up on moogle yet again (this time it'll wait for you). Then moogle escapes W, so just follow it to 'Dock 2'. You're now at Luca docks, but where's the moogle? It's waiting in front of the ship situated in this dock. Approach the moogle for another scene... This is now what we call MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! And EPISODE COMPLETE! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4D.

As soon as you beam down, you'll be approached by Al Bhed female and offered a choice - pick [Not at all.] to collect your reward. Exit the agency and after a lengthy scene... - if you pinned Rikku, you get RAGNAROK ACC, can ride chocobos and you will receive EPISODE COMPLETE! - if you pinned Chocobo Eater, you can ride chocobos and you will receive EPISODE COMPLETE! - if you pinned Calli, you can ride chocobos and you will receive EPISODE COMPLETE! - if you pinned Rin, you get GIPPAL'S SPHERE KEY ITEM, can ride chocobos for free, but you get Episode Concluded! only - if you pinned Prophet, you get nothing, except for Episode Concluded! - also, if you were going for Prophet, one of the possible scenes you see during CH4 investigation is the event where Rin finds a chest hidden by Prophet - don't sweat it if you miss this, for the contents of that chest was measly 2x X-Potion In short, if you're going for mascot, you must get either choco-chef, Rikku or Calli to be prime suspects. Get any of other two and mascot is lost for this game. Also, contributor Allister informed me of getting 0,2% completion if you watch Gippal's Sphere once you're on the airship. To ride chocobos, simply speak to hover attendants. Wanna storm the chests? Go ahead, as every item listed in item checklist EXCEPT two can be found in chests. To get 5x Phoenix Down and Victor Primoris you have to do the following (also, you MUST be able to ride chocobos on Mi'ihen!!!): go to 'Highroad - newroad, N' and look carefully for a chocobo feather. Stand on it a few seconds (be patient!) and then select [Am I ever!], when choices pop up - 5x PHOENIX DOWN is yours. Leave this screen and then return to the EXACT SAME SPOT. Again wait - this time it takes some time before choices appear. Select [Am I ever!] again and VICTOR PRIMORIS KEY ITEM belongs to you.

Once this chocobo returns, there's a chance for it to uncover fiend colony bonus dungeon. It is located near the place where you fought Chocobo Eater way back in CH2 - it will appear onscreen as a green fog - simply enter it and select [Yup, yup!]. An onscreen instruction will tell you how to navigate your way thru fiend colony (be aware, there's no minimap to help you with) and how to blast thru walls.

NOTE 2: Bombing walls at any spot in the dungeon (or using bombs just about anywhere) may yield some interesting results: you'll receive an item or few gil, or you'll make the locals mad. In latter case girls engage in battle against few Creepers, Hug Bugs or Hexapods (escape isn't an option). NOTE 3: If you have too much blasting fun, entrance to the dungeon will cave in. No big deal, don't worry. When you return to the entrance, simply throw about 15x L-Bomb to blast away the rocks, thus setting your girls free. This time make sure you engage in random battles, cos enemies drop bombs you need to blast thru walls. If there's lady luck with mastered Bribe with you, use her to obtain large amounts of bombs. As you navigate this dungeon, stand close to walls and pay attention to Yuna's skirt. If it starts to sway (as if the wind would be blowing), that means you've found wall that can be blown down. Except for six Tome-type acc you can score, there's nothing so hot in this dungeon - still, if you want to get The End GG, you must fight the boss of this dungeon. Make your way to N-most end to encounter the master behind the scenes... ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - KING VERMIN!, VERMIN species --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 39857 | 872 | 5000 | 1 | 3500 | ABS | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH 41850 | 872 | 7200 | 2 | 3800 | ABS | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | ABS ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, EJE, SLOW, STOP, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Power Gloves[ChampionBlt]| Turbo Ether[2xTurboEthr]| Turbo Ether[Elixir] Power Gloves[ChampionBlt]| 2xTurboEthr[2xTurboEthr]| Turbo Ether[Elixir] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

[Demi] - GRATT VS all chrs - gravity mgd ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY This is the big head honcho of the fiend colony? Battle starts with an ambush, but you really shouldn't worry too much. You need two pieces of equipment - something that guards against sleep and something which absorbs fire damage. With this stuff equipped you've already won the battle before it even begun. Only matter standing in your way is large amount of HP boss has. OSF battle is where a true challenge lies. First thing to note is that King's elemental properties have shifted a bit - it now absorbs holy. Although that shouldn't be any significant indication at all, King now has more attacks at his disposal - Holy, Flare (which can be used against whole team!) and Demi. Then there's Triple Attack and fire MATK left. When battle begins, girls will be shelled by Firas and Firagas. But, lower King's HP becomes, more often Holy and Flare will be used. After weighing reasons pro and con for reflect it's evident that you'd want reflect in place. So what if King absorbs holy and fire? Important thing is that you won't be hit by Flare and Holy - former is stronger than the latter and possible damage is greater. Triple Attack isn't used often and it's also not quite strong either. To take care of Demi, equip a Black Ring acc to get Gravity Eater. ***************************************************************************** After victory you receive FONT OF POWER GG! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5D.

Elma and Lucil will come running to greet you. There are two possible outcomes considering your choice at the start of CH2 - if you sided with New Yevon, you only need to make it to the third elevator on 'M - HQ lift' to gain EPISODE COMPLETE!

In this battle it's useless to rely on shell and reflect, as Miss L. relies heavily on items, especially Lv3 element gems. Have at least one girl wear Ribbon, if you have any. Beware, Lv3 element gems cannot be reflected. If you can equip stuff that absorbs elemental damage and converts it to HP, equip that as well - it will prove mightily useful! Her most dangerous move is Harbinger, which adds doom on girl struck. Girls with Ribbon won't be affected, but those without will - such girl will receive a counter of three. Simply go all out - she'll die either way, so why bother? As soon as she's KO-ed, use Phoenix Down immediately. For quick ownage of Miss L., consider using dark knight's Charon, provided she has at least 4000 MAX HP - Miss L. is the last opponent you're facing, so you can risk losing a member. Or two. ***************************************************************************** MISSION COMPLETE, as well as EPISODE COMPLETE! Woot! But do return to Mushroom once again. Jump in 'M - ravine path 1' and score 3x TURBO ETHER, ELIXIR and ELIXIR. Access to Den of Woe is almost granted, but we need two more spheres. Also, if you were able to attempt the mission 'Youth League Tournament!', go to Youth League HQ. On 'M - HQ lift' screen look below the lift for a chest with MACHINA BOOSTER KEY ITEM (you can get it regardless of who you sided with). When you're in front of the HQ, jump on little path on the extreme right and raid the chest for CRYSTAL BANGLE ACC. Access to 'HQ - war room' is also granted. Enter it, and then find Lucil on a long balcony. After the scene you're awarded with NOOJ'S SPHERE KEY ITEM (make sure you watch it aboard Celsius as soon as you have the chance). Finally, when you're in possession of all 10 Crimson Spheres, return to Mushroom r. once again and go to 'M - ravine 2' - but before you enter save your game! Make haste to where the strange door is and examine it. Although not really a sidequest mission, I treat it like so. Save (if not already) at the entrance to the dungeon, then stroll inside. At 1stcross take NE path, at 2ndcross go SE and you'll reach square shaped room. Prepare yourselves well for the upcoming series of boss battles - first two battles are fought by Yuna alone (make sure Yuna has white mage job on her GG!), and remaining three feature an all-out girl slugfest (have thief job on all girls' GG!). Also check that thief has Steal MP ACTA learned. ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - MISS R. --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 7800 | 92 | 800 | 3 | 200 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SIL, POI, CUR, EJE, STOP, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Black Lore | Bushido Lore | none Black Lore | Bushido Lore | none ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Miss R.'s PATK takes off around 400. The problem you'll be facing is her speed, with which she can attack quite often. If you have any means of inducing slow with Yuna's DSP currently at your disposal, do it! Ultimately, you can also put Miss R. to sleep and nail her with MATK while she's dozing off. Otherwise, make sure you're healed after sustaining three or four hits. Miss R. goes down... ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - MISS P. --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 9200 | 55 | 800 | 3 | 200 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SIL, POI, CUR, EJE, STOP, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Champion Belt | Sword Lore | none Champion Belt | Sword Lore | none ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Drill Shot - FRATTP VS one chr - fractional phd, tears off 75% MAX HP 8. Absorb - VS one chr - HP&MP stolen are added to Mr B.'s HP&MP ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY Looks like he wants some more... and I thought I already taught him a lesson back in Bevelle. This time Mr B. replaced some of his attacks - no more Absorb and Demi, but instead has Regen and Mighty Guard! Even more annoying, bleh - Regen is used frequently, and Mighty Guard is used once you've caused Mr B. to lose more than 75% HP. Mr B.'s staff attacks inflict around 300 damage per hit - they're also used very frequently, so applying protect may not be a bad idea. Don't bother with shell, as there's no use for it. Now that you can command all girls, change them into thieves ASAP - doing so eliminates stop induced by one of Mr B.'s attacks. Have your girls steal all MP Mr B. has available - it's only measly 720 MP anyway. You've just prevented Mr B. from casting Regen and Mighty Guard. Last thing to watch out for is Mr B.'s Drill Shot, which is used once his HP has been changed 10 times. Damage it does is gravity based, equals 75% of hit girl's MAX HP, and can be reduced with protect. You'll know he's about to perform it cos of specific battle stance he'll use. Mr B. goes down the crapper... ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - MR G. --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 14800 | 235 | 1200 | 5 | 5000 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, EJE, SLOW, STOP, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Kaiser Knuckles | White Lore | none Kaiser Knuckles | White Lore | none ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Mortar - VS all chrs - phd ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY This guy has somewhat fixed attack pattern - Grinder, 'kick', Grinder, 'kick' and Bullseye used afterwards. There's a chance of Mr G. including some status crap inbetween those attacks, but for measly 50 damage don't be afraid. As this battle starts, change girls into two dark knights and white mage (to apply protect and all that, after which make her dark knight too) to improve your overall stats (also needed for final bout, which will commence shortly). Grinder inflicts 500 damage and 'kick' 300 damage, both target single girl. As battle issues, have white mage cast Protect as previously stated, then keep harassing Mr G. with dark knights' PATK. Heal accordingly to damage you're receiving - when you see Mr G. use 'kick' for second time, don't bother to heal until next attack; Bullseye deals damage based on current HP or in layman's terms - you can't be killed. Once you bring Mr G.'s HP below 75%, he'll start using Mortar - nothing that high DEF and protect couldn't take care of. Anything else you wanna know? It seems Mr G. is down the crapper already... ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - MR N. --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 23800 | 720 | 1800 | 10 | 30000 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, EJE, SLOW, STOP, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Magical Dances, Vol. 1 | Arcane Lore | none Magical Dances, Vol. 1 | Arcane Lore | none ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Lightfall - STATT VS all chrs - 5000 universal damage ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY Fixed attack pattern with this guy as well, I'm afraid. No wait, that's a good thing! 'Shot', 'shot', 'floorshot', 'shot', Greedy Aura, repeat. 'Shot' will make one girl suffer 500 damage, 'floorshot' one girl for 1500 damage, and Greedy Aura makes all girls suffer fractional dmg, which reduces both HP and MP by 18,75% (considering MAX HP!). Lightfall is Mr N.'s most fearsome attack, which rips off 5000 damage from all girls, once you bring him down below 75% HP. White mage is a must here - start by making girls protected and shelled, then keep the health up with curative magic - regened girls is a nice option as well. Other two girls can be either dark knights or samurais, choice is yours, just make sure you choose a heavy hitter. I bet you're also considering warrior and her assortment of breaks, all of which can be planted upon Mr N. to make him more manageable? Be my guest. Once boss' HP drops below 75%, make sure you have over 5000 HP, or else you'll be killed by Mr N.'s Lightfall, which he'll use on first turn he gets - this is the only time you'll see it, so if you survive it, you've already won this long battle. Mr N., down the crapper with you too! ***************************************************************************** EPISODE COMPLETE! MAGICAL DANCES VOL.

You will learn that you can fight Experiment again, but you need to find repair manuals. There's five of them in total, so far I've been able to sniff out four of them: 1. 'D - trials': in the room with five pedestals you needed to push back in CH3 there's a man standing silently; input password MARNELA to get first manual, THE SPIRIT OF RECYCLING KEY ITEM 2. 'D - living q 1': simply talk to seated Al Bhed to obtain HOW TO REPAIR WITH SOUL KEY ITEM 3. 'D temple': in NE end of the screen you'll see three monkeys; stand between them and patiently wait until the three of them start jumping at the same time; as soon as they do, punch X to receive REPAIRING FOR DUMMIES KEY ITEM 4. Open up the passage to 'Calm lands - ruin depths', which is located in Chocobo ranch; one of the chests inside has THE ABC'S OF REPAIRS KEY ITEM 5. Mi'ihen area: examine all of the machinas running around in the entire area of Mi'ihen (including machinas that are stationary); one holds EVERYMAN'S REPAIR MANUAL KEY ITEM Just finding the manuals won't do. You have to go digging in Bikanel to salvage parts. Every part you find is automatically inserted into Experiment. You need to bring its Attack, Defense and Special levels to 5. Use two charts below to find out how.

Annihilator - NATT VS all chrs - mgd, ignores MDEF, delays hit girls' next turn ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY Hey there! Don't worry about that stupid Al Bhed who says you can't take on Experiment once it's on Lv5. In fact, it's so easy I could cry. For starters, here's its attack pattern: 'punch', Rocket Launcher, 'punch', Rocket Launcher, Lifeslicer, Annihilator. I won this battle by using three dark knights - they have highest HP and formidable DEF and MDEF to stand against boss' attacks. Immediately whip out Light Curtain, so that you render first four attacks 50% less effective. You may want to consider using regen status as well. As soon as you see second Rocket Launcher, Experiment will unleash Lifeslicer on next turn. This will inevitably kill girl targeted, so just heal her up with Phoenix Down. Annihilator can be learned by your gun mages, and this is the only chance in entire game. If you miss it, you will have to wait until New game+. Here are some more specifics on Annihilator - it's MATK, but it ignores MDEF. All girls will get hammered for around 1500 damage. Once Annihilator is used, boss resets its attack pattern. ***************************************************************************** EPISODE COMPLETE! MAGICAL DANCES VOL.

[Eyeing Paine...] - will now focus two/three further attacks on Yuna ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY A formidable foe and one that doesn't fall easy. To prepare your girls for this sucker, I suggest using two samurais (if you don't have samurai DSP yet, go to Kilika temple and get it) and white mage. Beef up your DEF as high as you can, for Humbaba has enormous STR. Dark knight is not recommended for this battle as she requires quite some time before she can attack again. As soon as battle starts, Humbaba will cast Mighty Guard - use samurai's Fingersnap to clear off stat boosts, whilst white mage's Dispel takes care of statuses Humbaba has gained. There, you're as good as old. Alternately, you can hamper Humbaba pretty easily in MP field - have a thief at hand and make her steal all of Humbaba's MP - say sayonara to Mighty Guard (which is used once again when Humbaba loses 66% of its HP) and Thundaga (400 damage to all). All that's left to worry about are Humbaba's PATK. And they are not to be messed with - Uppercut (1500 damage) carries a huge delay, so having fast girls is a must here (as said, dark knights would have big trouble). Once Humbaba loses 66% of HP, it gains access to Tyrant Tail attack - hits all girls for about 800 damage and has small delay effect. 'Swipe' inflicts moderate damage of about 400 to one girl. Apply that Protect now! You need to be aware of one more danger - once Humbaba is defeated, it will cast Meteor as a last resort to kill your party girls. I tried killing Humbaba with counterattack, but still Meteor is used. Only way to not see Meteor is using eject techs on Humbaba (also the fastest way to win the battle) or bribing it. So prior to ending the battle make sure your HP is at its peak, for you must survive the oncoming onslaught! Victory is yours. OSF battle - woohoo! Mighty Guard issues at start of battle, then it's time for [Eyeing (girl)...] attacks, which are pointed at the girl with highest current HP. Humbaba will then assault the girl with three 'swipes', three Thundagas, or two Uppercuts. There's a small possibility that Humbaba will follow up by Tyrant Tail. To make this fight ridiculously easy, equip stuff to absorb lightning attacks and have the girl with highest HP be under protect to ensure she'll be taking the least damage possible. Temporary bonuses gained from Mighty Guard can easily be cleared off by a simple Dispel and samurai using Fingersnap to destroy stat bonuses. Beware of Humbaba dying when defeated - Meteor is still used. Shell and high HP will guarantee your survival. Or CONGRATS! the thing - your choice. ***************************************************************************** MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! VALIANT LUSTRE GG is yours! Once you kill Humbaba, you'll be asked another option - pick [Yup, in the hole.] to enter optional dungeon (near the Al Bhed that asks you this question you'll see a chest - inside is a reward for calibrating 10th tower). Technically this isn't a sidequest mission, but I'll include it anyway. Completing this mission as well awards EPISODE COMPLETE!

Prior to battle raise their STR as high as you can - then as soon as battle issues, have all three execute Darkness and wave bye-bye to Recorders. If you've been unfortunate enough to use Darkness in any prior battles and this command is locked now, then resort to using attack items from your inventory. Now immediately change one girl into white mage and have her apply Protect - most of the attacks you'll be seeing now is Panzer's Gatling Gun (50 damage per hit, while 'bash' gives around 400 damage to one girl) - have white mage at standby with Cura/ga. Meanwhile switch remaining girls into warriors and execute Power Break on Panzer until STR down has SSTLV of 10, making damage it does quite laughable. In addition it can also be slowed down. As Panzer now has no backup left and has been severely hampered in several fields, it's no longer a serious threat to your kickass girls. Don't forget to add shell as well, as Panzer has the capability of launching Sorcery Ray attack once its HP has been reduced below 75%. Expect to see around 1000 damage inflicted to all girls. Remember, if any of your abilities are locked, concentrate on killing that Watcher - as soon as it's dismantled, abilities are no longer locked. ***************************************************************************** EPISODE COMPLETE! You also score AL BHED PRIMER KEY ITEM. Back on Celsius go to 'C - deck' - look for Cid and he'll enter the elevator. Now go to 'C - bridge' for another scene between Cid and Bro. When it's done, Cid gets his behind down in 'C - engine room'. This is everything % completion related you can do for now. Beam down to Thunder plains again and enter the optional dungeon again. 'TP - new cave' - 2ND RAID ATTEMPT! Various numbers are strewn throughout the cavern. Commit them to memory and then combine them to open the walls that bar your progress. When you open a wall, two chests will appear. You can choose only one - the other will vanish. Now for a long and stretched out explanation of navigating the cave. First, allow me to give you some tips: equip Charm Bangle (this way you will eliminate two factors in the equations - number of battles fought and amount of gil earned) and get a piece of paper and a pen to write down numbers you get as you navigate the cave. As you start, you'll notice 'No Data' box in upper left corner of the screen. There will be another box reading '[] >> 3' in lower right corner. For now disregard this - two chests will appear. Open either one and you'll get this tutorial (NOTE: All numbers provided in below notes are EXAMPLES! You're bound to get different numbers!): TIP1: The information needed to unlock the wall appears in the top-left and bottom-right corners of the screen. This information is displayed: - When entering the cave - When examining walls You can review the information you've gathered up to 3 times by pressing Square. Unlocking a wall will reset this counter back to 3. TIP2: When examining a wall, the following information is displayed onscreen: Top left: Current wall's number >> [] (Key Number 1) Bottom right: [] >> Number of the next wall to open (Key Number 2) Remember these two Key Numbers! TIP3: When you examine the next wall that needs to be opened, you'll be prompted to input a number. If you input the sum of Key Number 1 and Key Number 2, the wall will open. If you examine a wall out of sequence, only that wall's number will be displayed. TIP4: Suppose you're trying to open Wall 3. When you examine it, this appears in 3 >> [] the top left of the screen: 10 (Key No. 1) When you examined the previous wall, [] >> 3 the bottom right of the screen showed: 15 (Key No. 2) Since Key Number 1 for Wall 3 is 10, and Key Number 2 for Wall 3 is 15, inputting 25 (10 + 15 = 25) will open the wall. TIP5: But the Key Numbers aren't always so simple. They could be the numbers of battles you've fought, the amount of gil you have...just about anything. So keep a sharp eye (especially on Yuna's ass...etc). TIP6: When you successfully open a wall, two chests will appear. One contains a clue (and perhaps more) to help you through the dungeon. The other is empty. These two chests (you've just opened one) are the only exception. Opening either would have yielded the same result. Select [Yes, that would help.] now. TIP1: First let's take another look at the message you saw when you first entered the cave. Press Square to review the message. (Press Square) TIP2: The number in the bottom right corner of the screen is one of the Key Numbers needed to open the next wall. In this case the Key Number is 6, and we need to open Wall 3 next. Split's note: Walls will *always* be opened in the same order, however, numbers needed will not be the same. TIP3: The Guide Map in the top left corner of the screen will display the location of the next wall you need to open. Now, let's go over to Wall 3. (Yuna automatically runs to the necessary wall) TIP4: Press X to examine the wall. (Press X) TIP5: The number below the wall number in the top left corner is Key Number 1 for the current wall. So Key Number 1 for Wall 3 is 2. Earlier we saw that Key Number 2 for Wall 3 is 6, so the sum of the Key Numbers is: 2 + 6 = 8 This sum is the code we need to input to open the wall. Split's note: The number below the wall number in the bottom right corner is Key Number 2 for the next wall. So Key Number 2 for Wall 10 is 20. TIP6: You will see seven 0-es. Use left/right directionals to move between digits and use up/down directionals to set desired numbers. Press X to confirm code entry or Square to cancel. In our case you'll need to input code of 8. TIP7: Now that the correct code has been entered, the wall will open. After the wall opens, two treasure chests will appear. Any chests that appeared earlier will disappear. This concludes the tutorial. Confusing? Have no fear, for handy chart is here! Walls will always be opened in the same order applying the same formulas. However, numbers needed to open the walls will change. I shoud explain few things about the chart below: - walls will be listed in the way you'll be opening them - when you enter the cave, you will be given CLUE 2 for Wall 3, so note it - to get CLUE 1, you will have to mosey to Wall 3 and examine it - now, add both CLUE 1 and CLUE 2 together and you get the code needed; so to put it bluntly, here's the beef... - CLUE 1 (or Key Number 1 for current wall) will appear once you examine the wall you're supposed to open - CLUE 2 (or Key Number 2 for next wall) will appear once you examine the wall you're supposed to open - lastly, don't forget that by pressing Square you can bring up help window which will tell you about last two clues you've seen; you can do so for three times - if you attempt to see clues for fourth, game tells that you can't view them anymore and asks you if you'd like to exit WALL | CLUE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3rd wall | CLUE 1 | a random number will be given | CLUE 2 | a random number will be given ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: You can nab DIAMOND GLOVES ACC enroute to 10th wall. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10th wall | CLUE 1 | a random number will be given | CLUE 2 | a random number will be given ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: You can nab HYPER WRIST ACC and MYSTERY VEIL ACC enroute to 11th wall. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11th wall | CLUE 1 | a random number will be given | CLUE 2 | a random number will be given ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: You can nab TALISMAN ACC enroute to 5th wall. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5th wall | CLUE 1 | a random number will be given | CLUE 2 | any of the codes used so far ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st wall | CLUE 1 | any of codes used so far | CLUE 2 | battles from between entering the cave and opening any | | of previous walls ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: You can nab NATURE'S LORE ACC enroute to 8th wall. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8th wall | CLUE 1 | any of the codes used so far + battles since entering | | the cave | CLUE 2 | a random number will be given ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12th wall | CLUE 1 | a random number will be given | CLUE 2 | any of the codes used so far + any of the codes used so | | far ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13th wall | CLUE 1 | a random number will be given | CLUE 2 | a random number will be given ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9th wall | CLUE 1 | any of the codes used so far | CLUE 2 | battles from between entering the cave and opening 12th | | wall ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6th wall | CLUE 1 | any of the codes used so far + random given number | CLUE 2 | any of the codes used so far + any of the codes used so | | far ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: A warning about gil being implemented in equations will show up. Who cares? We have Charm Bangle equipped. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7th wall | CLUE 1 | Gil gained since entering the cave | CLUE 2 | any of the codes used so far + battles since opening any | | of previous walls ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: You can nab CORPUS INVICTUS KEY ITEM enroute to 14th wall. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14th wall | CLUE 1 | any of the codes used so far | CLUE 2 | any of the codes used so far + any of the codes used so | | far ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd wall | CLUE 1 | battles since opening any of previous walls | CLUE 2 | a random number will be given ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15th wall | CLUE 1 | two random numbers will be given + gil gained since | | opening any of previous walls | CLUE 2 | any of the codes used so far + battles between opening | | any of the two previously opened walls + gil gained | | since entering the cave ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: You can nab SALVATION PROMISED GG enroute to 16th wall. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16th wall | CLUE 1 | a random number will be given | CLUE 2 | a random number will be given ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4th wall | CLUE 1 | a random number will be given | CLUE 2 | a random number will be given ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: It ends. Well done. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay, this is it. Also, know the two chests that appear once you successfully open a wall? They will either open the next wall for you, tell you up to three codes for previously opened walls, provide a hint or even a solution for next wall you must open, tell you about number of battles you've engaged into from time you entered the cave etc. Of course, chest may also be empty. 'TP - new cave' - 3RD RAID ATTEMPT! Complete the exercise yet again, only this time: once you open 16th, final wall a chest containing FORCE OF NATURE ACC will appear. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10D.

No? Awww, that's too bad. Anyway, we have the real deal now - desert is in danger! ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ THE CACTUAR CONNECTION The Ten Gatekeepers have ventured into the world proper to train. Round them up and bring them home to the Cactuar Nation! Think you can unravel the Cactuar Mothers' clues and sniff them out? Objective: Find the Ten Gatekeepers ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ Until you complete it, there will be HS over Bikanel. For this CH we can capture all Cactuars (or in case you have already caught up to six possible Cactuars in CH3, only four are left to go). To start, pay attention to minimap. Cacti that give clues to Cactuar's whereabouts are marked as green squares and give off a green aura (please note that N-most green cactus isn't important yet!). Carefully look at the hints given and try to figure out where the hell it's hiding (or just look below). When you want to leave this part of the desert, go to NE corner, examine the vehicle and select [Yeah, it's time we left.]. 1st: Back in Al Bhed Camp, talk to the pilot and select [Oasis]. Cactuar is here. But BEFORE you touch it, talk to the Hypello (if it appears, that is - if it doesn't, just go on with the game), for it sells some awesome acc (list of goods is found below). Now touch the Cactuar and complete the minigame (doesn't matter if you win) and needles are yours. Now that you have it, return to Al Bhed camp, talk to pilot again and this time select [Cactuar Nation]. Back in cactus area approach the green boxed one and talk with it to officially confirm the catch. Now another cactus will turn green... talk to it and onto 2nd Cactuar. 2nd: You'll need to pay a visit to 'B - beach'. Cactuar is taking a sunbath there - make sure you make a drop on it! 3rd: Guadosalam is your third destination. Enter the Chateau and go into the secret area where you had your last fights against the Syndicate. In one of the rooms you'll spot a funny chest... if you shoot the chests during this cact-war, you may receive an item! 4th: Calm lands - bridge between Gagazet and Calm lands screen. Here you'll find two Cactuars riding on a chocobo... 5th: Same as 4th Cactuar. 6th: N-most end of 'TP - north'. There's a shelter-like structure found in this area - look for Cactuar stone opposite of it. What's that green shining nearby? 7th: It's hiding all the way on Kilika. As you enter Kilika forest, go like this - N over the bridge, then E. Pay attention now! First tree you'll see bending over the water is your cue - a mark to press Circle will appear in lower right, so do it. Get all needles you need up here. 8th: Beam to Gagazet. If you already got Episode Complete for Gagazet, you'll appear near the top, in which case you need to drop down, then go right. Make it to 'G - prominence' - there's a spot of greenery to be found here. If you haven't achieved Episode Complete yet, you'll appear at the base of Gagazet - in this case use teleporter here, then it's just few more steps up until you reach the clearing mentioned before. 9th: Kilika in Dona's house. Shooting Magic Pot will occassionally award you with an item. That's nine of them. Return to cactus' domain now and deliver 9th Cactuar. Talk to 10th cactus, then address the cactus marked as red square in minimap and pick [We'll look for him.]... ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ THE LAST CACTUAR Who'd have thought the last cactuar would be so close? Use the help of the nine gatekeepers you've already tracked down to bring that rascal home! Objective: Find the tenth gatekeeper ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ Alright, we're in at last. Save at the handy SSP, then proceed deeper into the dungeon via the simple path. On your way you'll fight three battles (No Encounters doesn't work here) - you can escape from first two, but you need to win the third... ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - HEAVY SALLET, HELM species --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 11200 | 0 | 380 | 1 | 110 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH 12915 | 0 | 640 | 2 | 180 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, POI, CON, BER, CUR, STOP, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- 2xLightCurtn[2xLightCrtn]| 2xLunarCrtn[2xLunarCrtn]| ShiningBrcr[ShiningBrcr] 2xStarCurtan[2xStarCurtn]| 2xStarCurtn[2xSatrCurtn]| ShiningBrcr[ShiningBrcr] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Bash'> - VS one chr - phd 2.

[Destroy Phoenix Down] - VS one chr - phd, reduces Phoenix Down stock by 1 ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY This is one tough battle we have at our hands, considering this tank has an enormous DEF stat. Jobs of choice are yet again white mage and two dark kinghts (or possibly samurai with Fingersnap ACTA). When the battle starts, have white mage apply Protect, then keep her at standby to apply Curaga if necessary. Meanwhile have both dark knights attack Heavy Sallet until its DEF becomes even higher thanks to its skill. If this becomes the case, consider following options: resort to one of many ways to darkness Heavy Sallet, then have dark knights start executing Darkness to inflict heavy damage on Heavy Sallet (do take care to heal them regularly!); have samurai perform Fingersnap to nullify DEF bonus boss has accumulated and will need to start from scratch; resort to using attack items from your inventory - damage they do is fixed and is not affected by target's statistics. Perhaps consider using magic as well... Ultimately, you could simply eject Heavy Sallet. Anyway, you can pretty much stop worrying as soon as you successfully darkness Heavy Sallet, as it will have extreme troubles connecting with 'bash' - in case it just might succeed, you will have protect in place to halve the damage. Seeing as it has no MATK at its disposal, this is a fairly easy boss. OSF is easier, but more annoying. For starters, it has lost its stupid Defense Up move, but instead gained attacks with which it can destroy your Turbo Ethers and Phoenix Downs. Bust it up with darkness NEGSE, then proceed wailing on it. As it has no immunity to stat breaks, knock yourself out - oh, and try to inflict slow on it too. Sallet's DEF stat may be high, but its MDEF stat sucks - so using MATK against it is not a bad idea at all. ***************************************************************************** After you waste this boss, you'll come to 1stcross - take NE path first to grab a chest, then return to 1stcross and take SE now - continue going. On your way you'll have to jump into sand pit - you're given 60 seconds to make it out of the pit. You can retry as many times as you like - even if you're caught by sands, Yuna will appear somewhere else in the dungeon unharmed. Use the opportunity to ransack the handful of chests in this dungeon. Just before the end of sand pit you'll need to climb two ledges, then jump across to W ledge and from here make a jump to N ledge which also means you're out of the sandpit! Good job! Now continue your exploration and you'll run into 10th Cactuar which we needed to find...

'Escape' - run the heck away from battle ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY This is one of easiest boss battles I've had so far. Everything Jumbo will do is cast Hastega on his two little buddies and then do nothing. Even when his two buddies are in critical condition, Jumbo will happily do nothing. There's an easy way out anyway - bring three dark knights with you at full health. All three charge for Darkness and say bye bye to both Cactuars. Now it's only a matter of time before Jumbo falls as well... This will be the scenario if all cactus friends are in RGF. Things become more fun and interesting when either of cactii enter OSF. Let's discuss Jumbo first - it has gained abilities to cast lv2 and lv3 element magics, as well as Flare and Demi. To make things even more challenging, Jumbo's MATK become stronger lower its HP gets. Still, this isn't a problem. All you have to do is set up reflect and let Jumbo kill itself. Since it doesn't know Dispel, it'll continue to use MATK against itself (so to speak, hehe) and eventually travel to cactus land 6 feet under. And what about Cactuar's OSF? Funny one as well. It possesses a bunch of Meridians, all of which inflict 100 universal damage. Chilly, Tingling, Burning and Drowning Meridians announce usage of elemental magic in Cactuar's next turn, while Quiet, Blinding and Maddening Meridians take care of status fun for you. Cactuar also has new attack called 3000-Needle-Special, which allows it to deal 1000 damage three times in a row. OSF Cactuar will not escape from battle, and it will fight you until its miserable defeat, where you will gain all lucky 7-s effect (take a look at its HP - okay, kidding). Having high ACCU stat is important for your girls, should you wish to stand any chance to hit Cactuar. Using magic is a no-go, as it has Null Magic. If your PATK can't connect, use Darkness of dark knights or attack items from your inventory to teach it a lesson it won't soon forget. ***************************************************************************** Now that you have 10th Cactuar as well, make haste to the entrance of the cave, but make sure you save before making a retreat you'd regret later. ------------------------------> MISSION TIME! <------------------------------ SHOWDOWN IN THE SANDS The fiend that was ousted from the Cactuar Nation is raiding the Al Bhed camp!

Bloody Breath - NATT VS all chrs - mgd, induces confusion, silence, darkness & poison ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY Arguably one of hardest bosses in the game, but fortunately I'm here to uncover the beef behind this sucker and bring you the non-failing strat for asskicking its behind back where it came from. For starters I've fought this guy once during excavation tour - HP I took off during this encountere were deducted from boss' total HP when I engaged in mortal battle in CH5. So it would be advisable that you try fighting the guy multiple times in CH1, 2 or 3 to chip off as much HP as you can. Plus you can use the opportunities to steal Megalixirs from it. Let's discuss preparations a bit - as usual, job of choice is dark knight, which seems to be perfect for this boss. Angra uses only one PATK, therefore DEF isn't highest on priority list. Yes, yes, there is one other PATK Angra can use, but it is based on MAX HP, so no matter your DEF, damage done is fixed. But there are a lot of MATK at Angra's disposal, so you should strive to increase MDEF. Personally I always use girls as dark knights and their Darkness ACTA which hits everything on battlefield regardless of target's EVA and inflicts special type damage, which isn't affected by shell or protect. And considering one arm is immune to PATK and other to MATK, Darkness has another plus. I'm letting you know all this for one reason - consider building up STR as well - higher STR means more damage. There are also some statuses you have to be prepared for - poison, silence and darkness. Dark knight already has Poisonproof PASA, so one status is off the list... what about other two? I consider them minor annoyance (I advise using Darkness thru whole battle) - there have been two chances so far for you to get Ribbon (when descending into Bevelle dungeon for the first time and during dancing minigame aboard Celsius). If you didn't bother with them, all is not lost. Spare 30000 gil and go buy 3x Beaded Brooch, acc which protects against darkness and silence. There, we've taken care of status protection and what to prioritize into. When checking boss' elemental info, not much is new - like most bosses it's immune to gravity damage, and left arm halves all other elements. As for status info, don't bother - inflicting Power and Magic Break on Angra is useless. Main part has only one PATK, which is gravity based (Power Break not needed), while only MATK where Magic Break can be considered is Flare and there's like 14% chance of it being used. Don't bother, I say. Party for battle then? Alchemist (with Mega-Potion ability learned!) and two dark knights. If alchemist is unavailable to you, then white mage (with Shell, Protect and Curaga abilities learned) and two dark knights. As for acc equipped, have something that boosts MDEF and STR. For items have a truckload of Mega-Potions, Elixirs and possibly Megalixirs. Battle commences, but the starting stages aren't easy. Immediately when your alchemist or white mage get a turn, have alchemist Mix Potion + Lunar / Light / Star Curtain. Doing so will apply shell and protect for first two, as well as reflect for last option. If you're having white mage, apply Protect first! Angra's first move will be its PATK, which hits random targets 10 times, each hit ripping off 18,75% target's MAX HP (even more, if chain occurs). Left arm begins the battle by casting Glimmer of Despair, which reduces four core stats as well as rob girls of some valuable MP. Here's another piece of info I was able to conclude - right arm uses Bloody Breath on each 8th turn it gets, while left arm uses Glimmer of Despair each seventh turn. If either arm is KO-ed and then revived, amount of turns needed before arm's special attack is executed decreases, but never later than right arm's 8th and left arm's 7th turn. There's no sure way of knowing when Angra itself will use its big ass attack. Now that you've survived initial bombing, have alchemist produce Mega-Potion - from now and ever all alchemist does is making Mega-Potions or in case that shell & co. wear off, to reapply them. If white mage is in your party, have her heal the bunch with Curaga (increase MAG as high as you possibly can) - be wary of statuses wearing off! Reapply them as soon as you can. Dark knights use Darkness and Darkness only - don't worry about their HP, it will get restored on a reguar basis. If you take a look at various attacks boss has, it doesn't appear to be dangerous too much, does it? Its strength lies in speed and variety of moves. Each time boss has a turn, you have 56% chances for boss using non-damaging attack. You can increase that percentage even higher by fluently using Darkness and taking care not to run out of HP. Boss will be so busy reviving dead arms, that he may forget about us. I suggest to be careful of Flare, which is the only moderate damage spell Angra has to offer. Dispel boss packs is used even less - nevertheless, be on the lookout for it. Short recap of this lengthy paragraph: Party to use are two dark knights and alchemist (or white mage). At start of battle apply protect ASAP, then dark knights keep using Darkness only, whilst third girl takes care to heal on regular basis and reapply helpful statuses once they wear off... *puts a hole between Angra's eyes* One dead optional boss, coming right up! The easiest way of winning this battle is to drain Angra's MP. Use Soul or Mana Springs, gunner's Target MP, samurai's Magicide, thief's Pilfer MP or gun mage's Absorb. Once Angra is out of MP, all it can do is a weak Osmose attack. Knock out both Tawrich and Zarich as well. Now all you need to do is drain Angra's MP every once in a while (that is, if its Osmose actually drains some of girls' MP), while the remainder of YRP team keeps chipping off Angra's HP. ***************************************************************************** Completing this mission awards MERCURIAL STRIKE GG and EPISODE COMPLETE! Now you have access to all excavation sites except for 'Central expanse'. So, how do we gain entrance...? Simple, all you gotta do is send any level chocobo to Bikanel (preferably one you don't need). It'll run away, but in return you now have access to 'Central expanse'. This dig is different - you are doing it on a chocobo. What you're really here for is to dig on white X spots - eventually you'll run across DESERT KEY KEY ITEM, with which you can unlock the chest in Al Bhed camp and nab HORN OF PLENTY GG. Also, if you return to Cactuar Nation, you'll see a scene with Benzo and Marnela. After it ends, address Marnela yet again. Entrance to Cactuar Hollow is now sealed, but there's an army of Cactuars in the middle of Cactuar Nation - you can challenge them to cact-war yet again. If you missed your chance to get Covenant of Growth GG, challenge Frailea and beat it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12D.

Regardless of who you sided with you receive EPISODE COMPLETE! And SCOURGEBANE GG to boot! Afterwards beam down to Bevelle again and enter the 'B - trials' by taking the lift in 'New Yevon HQ 1'. Of course, don't forget to examine lower pedestal in 'New Yevon HQ 4'. Refer to one of earlier bonus stuff sections for directions... all items listed in above checklist (except for GG and two Crimson Spheres) are found in chests! Lastly, enter 'New Yevon HQ 3' - you'll find brat group and a strange teleport... This sidequest mission is covered in section 22. Complete the mission by defeating 2nd boss of Lv100 and you get what we call MISSION COMPLETE! Your objective right now is to proceed forward to see a scene with an old geezer. Collect CRIMSON SPHERE 6 KEY ITEM. Pick [I can't wait!] to watch the sphere. Now make it to floor 20 and waste Aranea. Pick up CRIMSON SPHERE 8 KEY ITEM which will be left behind (make sure you watch it as soon as you're aboard Celsius!). Optionally, try to reach floor 40 and fight Black Elemental. If it proves too tough, here are three cheesy ways to defeat it: Bribe it with 65000 gil, use Spare Change of around 250000 gil, or have dark knight with at least 5000 MAX HP use Charon. Boss dead, you get MOON BRACER ACC, SHINING BRACER ACC, SPEED BRACER ACC, RECOVERY BRACER ACC and CAT NIP ACC. Cat Nip is awarded to you if you're playing US version - those who are playing japanese version will receive Enterprise instead. Bosses of 60th and 80th floor don't leave anything behind. Damn. However, should you manage to waste both Paragon and Mr T. on 100th floor, you get IRON DUKE ACC, best piece of equipment in entire game IMO. And although not needed, you must be warned - DO NOT SKIP ANY SCENES WHILE IN VIA INFINITO. THIS INCLUDES THE SCENES OF PEOPLE CHANGING INTO THEIR BOSS FORMS. SKIP ONE SCENE AND WAVE 100% GOODBYE. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13D.

Still, if you were unsuccessful in gaining enough points to bring one company to lv5, all is not lost. You can play minigames for the company you're advertising for until you accrue 400+ points. Now beam to Celsius and talk to MN - Calm lands will become a HS and you can get Episode Complete! Contributor SixDays says: If you ask the PR questions to everybody in a certain CH, then go switch companies, and you can ask all the people in that chapter the questions again, and get the credit for the other company. Meaning there is way over 1005 points possible by asking people questions. The answers to the questions all stay the same, you just have to do it in the same CH. I think I switched in the end of chapter 3 and noticed this. You don't get double points for marriage questions though. Only smart to do it once though, since you lose half your PR points. What about bridal chappie? Y'know, this sidequest really sucks. The best you can get is lousy Speed Bracer? Okay, so here are the scores: for 0-29 points you get ELIXIR, and for any score exceeding 30 points you're awarded SPEED BRACER ACC. When his son runs off (or not, if you got him a bride or four), talk to the father again and he'll ask about 50000 gil he's missing (only if you watched whole CALM LANDS 1 CAM until it's been eaten). Choose first, honest option and you obtain SWORD LORE ACC. As for item collecting, everything listed in inside the chests, so knock yourself out. To score AURORA RAIN KEY ITEM, you will have to visit 'CL - cavern' and teleport of fayth chamber. Nab the chest here. To get another EPISODE COMPLETE for this area, you must uncover a secret dungeon which is found in 'CL - facility ruins', by doing following process. Please note that process works with other chocobos as well, but this is how I got access to the dungeon, so I know my way works. I keep getting mails that you don't need bold chocobos, the other areas work just as well and so on. Know what? I'm really not in the mood to check out all possible ways - there's like hundreds of possibilities. Would you be willing to test them all out? If you cannot be bothered to try my process listed here, you're welcome to try you own ways. Just don't write mails to me asking how to open the dungeon, cos what you tried didn't work... I state once again: Process described below GUARANTEES you'll get Ruin Depths dungeon. Make even one deviation from the process and you'll screw yourself in the long run. STEP 01: You'll need four lv1 bold chocobos. STEP 02: The areas where they often appear are Kilika, Bikanel or Thunder p. STEP 03: Go to any of these areas and begin capturing chocobos until you have 14 of them. STEP 04: Return to the ranch and examine all chocobos you've captured by 'talking' to them in the stables. Release all chocobos whose max lv can be 4 or lower. KEEP ONLY FOUR BOLD CHOCOBOS WHO CAN BE RAISED TO LV5! If you don't have enough of such chocobos, return to areas I mentioned and resume capturing. STEP 05: You have four bold chocobos that can be raised to lv5? Good! STEP 06: DO NOT RAISE THEM YET! Instead assign them to be your Runners. STEP 07: Dispatch all four of them to Calm lands. STEP 08: ONLY DISPATCHING THEM TO CALM LANDS WILL WORK! STEP 09: Go fight 7 random battles, then return to the ranch and SAVE before talking to Clasko. STEP 10: Talk to Clasko and make sure that all four lv1 bold chocobos made it back. If any ran away, reload. STEP 11: Now raise all four lv1 bold chocobos into lv2 bold chocobos. Don't forget to restore their Heart! STEP 12: Dispatch all four of them to Calm lands. ONLY CALM LANDS! STEP 13: Go fight 7 random battles, then return to the ranch and SAVE before talking to Clasko. STEP 14: Talk to Clasko and make sure that all four lv2 bold chocobos made it back. If any ran away, reload. STEP 15: Now raise all four lv2 bold chocobos into lv3 bold chocobos. Don't forget to restore their Heart! STEP 16: Dispatch all four of them to Calm lands. ONLY CALM LANDS! STEP 17: Go fight 7 random battles, then return to the ranch and SAVE before talking to Clasko. STEP 18: Talk to Clasko and make sure that all four lv3 bold chocobos made it back. If any ran away, reload. STEP 19: Now raise all four lv3 bold chocobos into lv4 bold chocobos. Don't forget to restore their Heart! STEP 20: Dispatch all four of them to Calm lands. ONLY CALM LANDS! STEP 21: Go fight 7 random battles, then return to the ranch and SAVE before talking to Clasko. STEP 22: Talk to Clasko and make sure that all four lv4 bold chocobos made it back. If any ran away, reload. STEP 23: Now raise all four lv4 bold chocobos into lv5 bold chocobos. Don't forget to restore their Heart! STEP 24: Now pay attention! Send out only Runners 1, 2 and 3 to Calm lands. Keep Runner 4 at standby! STEP 25: Go fight 7 random battles, then return to the ranch and SAVE before talking to Clasko. STEP 26: Talk to Clasko and make sure that all three Runners you sent out made it back. If any ran away, reload. STEP 27: Restore any and all lost Heart! STEP 28: Again, pay attention! This time send out only Runners 2, 3 and 4 to Calm lands. Keep Runner 1 at standby! STEP 29: Go fight 7 random battles. STEP 30: This time when you go back to the ranch, a scene will issue in which Clasko tells girls that chocobos have discovered something in the back of the ranch and would like you to go check it out. STEP 31: Entrance to the dungeon will appear as a green square on the minimap. Have fun! Tch, this is a fairly complex area - no minimap to guide you thru. There is a nice map of the area available for viewing at GameFAQs. Here's the link: db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_2_chocobo_dungeon.gif I advise equipping Charm Bangle here to avoid random battles (there's Ultima Weapon roaming down here - you sure you wanna fight it?). On the other hand, enemies drop nice EXP, so you may wish to fight instead. Anyway, check item checklist for items you can nab - you should esp be interested into MACHINA REACTOR KEY ITEM and THE ABC'S OF REPAIR KEY ITEM. Somewhere in the back of the ruins familiar fiend resides. ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - ANYTHING EATER, EATER species --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 11600 | 310 | 3400 | 1 | 1500 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH 36980 | 310 | 4800 | 2 | 1800 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, STOP, STR down, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG, * DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Power Gloves[PowerGloves]| Mega-Potion[Mega-Potion]| White Lore [KaiserKnckl] Power Gloves[PowerGloves]| 2xMega-Potn[Elixir] | White Lore [KaiserKnckl] ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL NOTES ----------------------------- If Anything Eater oversouls, it loses Auto-Reflect properties. ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. - VS one chr - respective type of mgd 2.

[Dispel] - VS all chrs - shatters most POSSE ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY A boss with innate reflect? If you've already had experience with such guys, then you know the drill - it'll cast magic on itself to have it bounce onto your girls. Prior to battle equip stuff that guards or absorbs elemental damage, as boss relies heavily on magic. Also have dark knights with Deathproof PASA learned, for Eater's 'smack' carries KO. Or equip Angel Earrings. Since it has such small amount of MP, steal it - Mana Spring, Steal MP etc. Just about anything will do. Do note that boss will use Osmose to regain lost MP, but just drain it back again - and so we enter the endless cycle. Boss' Flare is especially strong and getting KO-ed cos of it won't come as surprise. Anyway, make sure you're protected against KO and that you can absorb as many elements as possible and this fight is as good as won. OSF Eater is similar to its Chocobo buddy an many ways. OSF battle is IMO even easier than 'regular' battle. Eater will start the battle by making a move called 'Me no like dressphere!' - afterwards it will launch four PATK against the girl wearing chosen DSP. After those four attacks it may switch back to flurry of MATK (set up reflect to have spells bounce back at Eater) or decide to continue being tired of certain DSP. Don't forget that protect can be helpful here as well. Reducing boss' MAG stat will be useful in reducing damage it does with its MATK. I suggest having Star Bracers equipped to have Auto-Reflect on yourself - that way Eater will waste many turns trying to cast Dispel which won't work. ***************************************************************************** After winning this fight, examine the wall behind place of battle - the wall will rise. Behind that wall is a corridor which seems to lead nowhere - but don't let that to confuse you. Remember the wall you approached before? Wall moved away and you engaged in the battle against Eater? Seek out four more walls like this one - two are to the left of 'eater-wall' and two are to the right of 'eater-wall'.

Her Heavenly Strike poses major threat - halving both target's HP/MP as well as inducing stop you're gonna have serious problems in handling her. Kick does about 400 damage to one and Blizzaga 500 damage to one as well, while Diamond Dust will strike all for 1000 damage (this is not ice based attack!; Diamond Dust inflicts non-elemental mgd). Bring Stopproof acc with you in the battle, or change into thieves (thief has Stopproof PASA). Otherwise white mage with two dark knights is recommended party. Start by white mage applying shell, then casting Curaga - screw shell's disadvantage of halving healing effects or switch to Mega-Potions then. Don't forget to remove stop or you'll be sorry! Dark knights will prolly have problems hitting Dark S., so you may consider using Darkness instead. Another option that might seem favorable is breaking Dark S. in STR and MAG to decrease the damage she's doing with Diamond Dust and Blizzaga, as well as her 'kick'. Keep at it and soon Dark S. will fall too. I'm sure Dark S. doesn't have any fixed attack pattern, so you will have to rely on your instincts for this one. ***************************************************************************** SSP will appear, so save your progress.

I had so many friggin' problems beating those three, esp cos of high EVA of Dark M. and Dark Sa. Make sure you have a full supply of Mega-Potions or X-Potions, and that someone is able to cast Protect and Shell (must equip right acc). Recommended would be to enter this battle with 3 dark knights, but if you are in need of white mage, switch one in instead. I tell you right now, battle will not be easy! As already pointed out, Sa.'s and M.'s insane EVA, coupled with high AGL stat will make a lot of gray hair grow on you. Immediately start by having white mage cast Protect and Shell on all three, while one or both dark knights attack C. Yep, even though she has highest HP (although not by that much), I consider her most annoying of the bunch. She'll constantly try to bestow protect and shell statuses on herself and two sisters, and nothing pisses me off more in this battle. Use *anything* it takes to clear off C. first... even though you have to throw your most powerful items (will get to that later). Now C. will mostly cast protective magic, while M. will be annoying you with her Passado. Remember, Passado can't kill you, but it does put you in very low HP, allowing excellent chance for Sa. to use Razzia to finish weakened gal off. Or M. will follow up with one of her Lv3 element spells, which pack a punch (about 600 damage per cast). Sa.'s Razzia and normal PATK hit between 120 and 300 damage. If you take too long in clearing one sister off the battlefield, say hi to Delta Attack, which reduces HP of all girls to 1 measly HP. HEAL IMMEDIATELY! You say you have problems hitting sisters? I have two alternatives prepared. First is to throw attack type items from your stock. Even though they may be weak, these items hit all enemies with 100% probability and damage will slowly, but surely pile up. Or resort to using dark knight's Darkness attack, which also falls into category of attacks sisters cannot avoid. Don't forget to keep your HP in the clear or else you may find yourself suddenly very weak. After C. has been dispatched, it's time to go after M. Thanks solely to her EVA it may take some turns before she falls, but persevere and you will succeed. Now only Sa. remains, and on her own she's not much of a threat. One quick way to take Dark M. out is to get samurai learn Spare Change and throwing aroud 300000 gil against Dark M. to instakill her. This will make the remainder of this battle a breeze. ***************************************************************************** Return to SSP from before and save your game. Continue your advance deeper into the underground, but this time be careful of how far you jump. Before you reach next circular platform, make sure you're healed up, as next boss is not easy... ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - DARK A. --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 36000 | 9999 | 6000 | 15 | 2000 | HLV | HLV | HLV | HLV | IMM | WKN ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, EJE, SLOW, STOP, STR down, MAG down, DEF down, MDEF down, ACCU down, EVA down, LUCK down, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Tetra Band | Fury Shock | none Tetra Band | Fury Shock | none ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. 'Stare' - STATT VS one chr - std, induces poison 2. Pain - NATT VS one chr - mgd, induces silence, poison, itchy and [decreases STR, MAG, DEF, MDEF, ACCU & EVA by -1 level] 3. Oblivion - NATT VS all chrs - mgd, 16 hits ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY A.'s 'stare' will deal some damage and poison target girl, while Pain is a class of its own. It won't KO the girl hit, but will put all kinds of nasty statuses onto her... to name a few: silence, poison, itchy and stat decreases (if you'll take too long in killing Dark A., effects will stack with every subsequent Pain and make girl living weakling). Then we have to worry about Oblivion as well. So here are damage estimates: 'stare' 300 to one, Pain 250 to one and Oblivion 600 damage to all. Not much, eh? But thanks to statuses you'll be accompanied with during battle you won't rest even one bit. Did I mention that it has 36000 HP, making the fight last forever? Okay, two dark knights and white mage. It's my the-usual-tech routine, but this time protect is fairly useless, while shell is an excellent choice to put on all girls from start of battle, then just keep attacking until someone is hit by Pain. Now immediately throw Remedy on affected girl to remove nasty changes preventing hit girl from even acting. Poison caused by 'stare' I recommend to be shrugged off - what's the point in healing it, if you'll just be affected again? If you're using dark knights, that's not even something you should be worried about, as dark knight has Poisonproof PASA. Unfortunately I'm sure that Dark A. doesn't have a fixed attack pattern - there's also no clear indicator as to when she's to use Oblivion (except that charging animation is longer than usual). Always make sure your HP is above 1500 (just to be on safe side) and take whatever punishment comes flying your way. When scene is over, continue attacking (don't forget to heal your wounds, of course!) until A. is defeated. ***************************************************************************** Finally we've defeated all dark bastards. Your victory over Dark A. yields IMMORTAL SOUL GG. After a scene Yuna will be in a flower field. Look who's here... another scene. SSP at last - make sure you save. You've come a long way and beating the crap out of Dark A. I can't stand again. If you need healing items, talk to LB. and choose [Can we buy something off you?]. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- LB.'S SHOP Potion 50 | Hi-Potion 500 Phoenix Down 100 | Antidote 50 Eye Drops 50 | Echo Screen 50 Soft 50 | Holy Water 300 -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Not so fast in that portal!!! GO BACK TO THE AIRSHIP! Talk to Shinra to start a scene. Then go anywhere else on the ship, and back to the bridge. Hm, where are Buddy and Bro? Ride the elevator to 'C - deck' for another scene (this one can only be viewed if your % completion is 70% or more). AL BHED PRIMER KEY ITEM is yours. Back to 'C - cabin' for another scene - when you're offered to make a choice, pick whatever suits you (this scene can only be viewed if your % completion is 80% or more). Now visit Celsius' areas like this - Bridge, Cabin, Bridge. This time Rikku will be missing from the bridge. Head for the Deck and speak with Rikku up here (you'll need 95% or more completion for this one to be seen). If you have trouble seeing any of these scenes, go talk to MN so that Mission Select screen pops up, then immediately cancel so that you return to the bridge - doing so should cause the effect you want. And of course make sure first that you have required % completion. To obtain GG that allows you to cast Ultima, you need to make it to 'Farplane abyss' using each of the five routes. Besaid, Kilika, Bevelle and Calm lands are very easy, while Djose route involves a slight puzzle involving stone pushing. When you come across it, this is what you do - push leftmost stone towards number 3, rightmost stone towards number 1, and middle stone towards number 2. As for the items you can nail on these routes - bah! Not worth your time. Upon descending into Farplane using the fifth route and upon reaching the stone platform where you fought Dark A. before, a scene will unfold showing Yuna obtaining MEGIDDO GG. Go Yuna! When you think you're ready, head for 'Farplane abyss' and try to enter the portal - choose [Yes.]. You have two ways of doing this section, slowly or with your head thru the wall. I prefer the latter, but it's extremely tough (unless you know the trick), as you'll soon see. WAY OF THE CALM... Once scene is finished, notice the piano to your left. There's an electric barrier to your right that is activated every so often. If you get caught in current, gals suffer some damage. There's also 1st blue spot on the ground near the piano - step on it and three notes will be played. Now examine the piano and punch in these three notes (use the hint at bottom of screen). With first barrier out of the way, go N - path branches off into two at 1stcross. Take W one and step on 2nd blue spot on your way to hear two notes (don't get struck by electricity!), while E path's 3rd blue spot gives away one note. Where paths merge back together (2ndcross), make a jump to the chest. Nearby is 2nd piano, but before activating it take path to SE of the piano to reach 4th blue spot. Now you have all the notes you need to play on 2nd piano. Do it and another barrier has been destroyed. Get MEGALIXIR from nearby chest. Hop back on main track and go N until you reach 3rdcross - take left path first and step on 5th blue spot to hear two notes. Now back to 3rdcross and take right path - immediately after electric current jump down onto another road. First go up a bit to step on 6th blue spot, which gives away one note. Hike to other end of this path and step on 7th blue spot for two more notes. You'll automatically jump back down on left path from 3rdcross. Go N until two paths merge again at 4thcross. Jump to your right and find 3rd piano (loot a chest near it for 3x TURBO ETHER). Third barrier is deactivated, so proceed N for more scenes. You get PAINE'S SPHERE KEY ITEM. Make use of SSP here. This next puzzle is so friggin' annoyin'... I don't feel like explaining it, so just follow these directions, okay? Let's begin... There are two starting stones, one to the left of SSP, one to the right of SSP. Jump on stone to the left of SSP to be transported a bit up. When it stops, jump to the right - three notes are played. Jump right to be transported a bit up. Jump up, and up again to hear two more notes. Now jump all the way back to SSP. Now take stone to the right of SSP, which will transport you up again. Jump on the block that is more N to transport yourself to another big block - this one plays one note. Back to SSP again, and again jump on block to the left of SSP. When it stops, jump left, then up. When this block stops, jump right to hear one note. Jump left and block you previously used will float even higher. Jump right, loot the chest with 2x MEGA PHOENIX, then jump up to hear two notes. Jump down, left and you'll be transported down. Jump down, then immediately back up. As block stops, jump left and left again to hear one note. Jump back to SSP. Take block to the right of SSP yet again. When it stops, jump left on the block that is more S - you will reach a block that plays two notes. Finally, jump left and stand on circular shape which will play the notes in order you stepped on. Beware, if you screwed up, you will fight very strong boss (but you can escape from it and try to do the puzzle again). If you were successful in clearing the puzzle, door deactivates and access is granted. WAY OF THE HEAD THRU THE WALL... After the scene make your way N and N only - to pass electric barriers, wait for them until they detract, and as for lasers, press Circle to jump over them just as security orb is about to shoot you. Approach the first circular... er, 'door' or whatever... ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - AZI DAHAKA, SACRED BEAST species, FIRST IGNITION --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 146200 | 869 | 4850 | 1 | 1300 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH 153510 | 869 | 5580 | 2 | 2000 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, SLOW, STOP, STR down, MAG down, DEF down, MDEF down, ACCU down, EVA down, LUCK down, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Ether [3xTurboEth] | X-Potion [Talisman] | none [none] Talisman [4xTurboEth] | X-Potion [Talisman] | none [none] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Swipe'> - VS one chr - phd, has drain effect (only RGF) 2. - STATT VS all chrs - std, tears off 50% MAX HP, arc attack 3. - NATT VS one chr - mgd 4.

[Curse] - VS one chr - induces curse ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY Hey look, a challenging boss! But they made a tiny mistake... fortunately it can be ejected, this making one of quickest vistories ever (you will have to keep trying lots of times to eject it, anyway). Or how about Spare Change by samurai? I'll try to assist you in nailing it with whatever you have at your disposal. Azi doesn't kid around and from the attacks it's using you'll soon realize that as well. 'Swipe' does about 1000 to one (it also has drain effect, meaning whatever HP damage your girl took, same amount of HP will be recovered by Azi), Bated Breath around 4000 to one. Before battle begins, concentrate on beefing up HP, DEF and STR as high as you can. Less damage boss does with its PATK, better for you. As for your team, they'll be dealing biggest damage to Azi using PATK, so that's why you want to have high STR. Don't bother with EVA, for even with 255 EVA Azi will still hit you. Team of choice? White mage for sure, while I'll leave other two girls to have the job you think has greatest relation between HP, DEF and STR (most likely warrior, samurai or dark knight). Also go to main menu and choose ATB speed to be the lowest - you'll need the time to make right decisions. Azi doesn't follow any fixed attacks patterns, unfortunately for us. Battle commences - white mage immediately applies protect, and is then put on standby to aid girls in need. If you have any items lying around such as Light Curtains or Chocobo Wings, use them - whatever POSSE you're under, it's always a good one to have. Whatever jobs you chose for other two girls, have them use their strongest attacks: dark knight Black Sky, samurai Sparkler, and warrior whatever (Excalibur might be strongest of them all). Always maintain your HP above 50%, as Damocles Photon deals damage based on MAX HP, and if your HP is below 50%, girl is KO-ed. If Bated Breath is used and it's not white mage that got KO-ed, have white mage use Full-Life, otherwise you'll have to rely on Phoenix Down + X-Potion combo. If none got KO-ed, heal the team with either Mega-Potion or Megalixir. If Azi recovers HP faster than you can damage it, I suggest giving up on it for now as you may be too weak to kill it. Unlike most boss battles, it is possible to escape from this one. OSF battle is quite easier IMO. Azi starts by using 'Eyeing' move against a randomly picked girl. There's no paramater that prompts Azi to select a girl, it's random. Anyway, once girl is selected, Azi will launch four PATK or three PATK followed by Curse or Bated Breath. After taking three hits and finishing current 'Eyeing' attack flurry, it'll use Photon against your team and reduce your HP by 50% MAX HP. Luckily Azi no longer recovers HP each time he successfully connects with PATK, and it can frequently miss. ***************************************************************************** After battle continue walking N for next boss fight... ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - AZI DAHAKA, SECOND IGNITION BOSS STRATEGY Strategy for this guy is the same as for the first Azi above, so check above to get a lowdown on second sucker. ***************************************************************************** Press Square to leave the notes screen, save at nearby SSP and then jump on floating stone to the right of SSP.

Noli Me Tangere - VS all chrs - 1250 of fixed phd 2. 'Laser' - FRATT VS one chr - fractional std, tears off 31,25% MAX HP ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY Before start of battle make sure girls' HP is 1250 or higher. Why? When tail gets first attack, it'll use 'sweep', which deals 1250 of fixed phd to all three girls (can be halved with protect). After you survive that attack, you'll be seeing 'laser' mostly, which reduces one girl's HP by 31,25% MAX HP. So, the strategy? Bring in two dark knights and white mage. Protect on all girls at start of battle, then keep the health up with Curaga on all girls (if hit by 'sweep') or one girl (if hit by 'laser'). Dark knights attack Tail relentlessly. It is highly unlikely that white mage would by any chance become unable to keep up with HP lost due to Tail's attacks - but in the event of this happening anyway, assign one dark knight on temporary healing duty with help of Mega- Potions. First ignition has been fired, time for second! ***************************************************************************** After kicking its tail, path forward is free.

Cast only Shell on all girls at start of battle, then keep healing with Mega-Potions *each* and every turn. Many attacks that are launched in your direction can be reflected back to caster, so setting up reflect POSSE is not a bad idea. Dark knights attack Arm relentlessly. It's very likely that white mage will be unable to keep up with HP lost due to huge amount of attacks thrown your way, so help out occassionally by assigning one dark knight on healing duty with Mega-Potions. Don't forget to recast Shell once the effect wears off. It's also very helpful if you equip acc that absorb element damage as HP recovered. If Arm gets accustomed to too many POSSE at once (ie regen, shell, protect), be sure to dispel it ASAP. But don't bother with it if only one POSSE has been bestowed - not worth the effort. And you prolly wonder how I got EXP and gil counts for orbs? I needed to throw several millions of gil before I've killed single orb. Imagine how long would it take with normal PATK or MATK (a very long time, for orbs pack insane DEF and MDEF). Killing the orbs is not recommended anyway - 300000 HP for 8K of EXP and 3K of gil. No thanks. ***************************************************************************** After kicking its arm, path further forward is free. Return once again to save your game at last SSP.

Magical attack detected - STATT VS one chr - fractional std, tears off 33% current MP ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY In first playthru I thought this boss battle was hard. But looking at it with my powerpuff girls which can withstand just about anything, I can say it's not hard at all. Before you enter the battle, equip acc that guard against petrification and poison (or enter battle as dark knights who have relevant PASA skills). As you can see from attacks of both Bulwarks, many of them don't inflict direct damage, except occassional 'slam' from right Bulwark. Break and Bio will be rendered useless, and doom NEGSE followed from same magic can easily be countered with quick Phoenix Down. And finally Core needs at least four turns to charge enough before it can release its super attack. So let's do battle - bring in three dark knights (and just in case keep white mage DSP in one of nearby nodes on GG - we may need it). I wouldn't bother casting protective POSSE on yourself as one Bulwark knows Dispel and will successfully waste your effort. Also don't bother using magic in this battle - I find it a waste of time and MP. Left Bulwark's role is to make your life difficult by trying to inflict NEGSE on your girls, while right Bulwark's job is to provide support for its allies. In order to prevent that, it's recommended that right Bulwark dies first. When either Bulwark is dead, this stops Core from charging its attack and prompts it to start charging Full-Life instead. Core will only forfeit that if it has already charged for three times. So in order to never see Core's Memento Mori, clear off both Bulwarks ASAP. As soon as one gets revived, kill it again. As long as you keep KO-ed Bulwarks... well, KO-ed, I guarantee you'll never see Memento Mori. You wouldn't even need to heal ever if you follow these suggestions. Keeping Bulwarks KO-ed also prevents them from launching 'detected' type attacks. If inspite all the protection you have it still happens that Core enters post- third-charge phase, you have a problem and we need to counter it. Quickly change one girl into white mage and have her cast Shell to halve the damage from Memento Mori. Or if you have any Lunar Curtains handy, use one! After you take damage, heal your girls immediately. One more tip concerning right Bulwark - only bother dispeling protect if it's been induced on either of enemies in this battle. Shell and regen can safely be shrugged off. ***************************************************************************** After defeating the core, girls' HP/MP is fully restored. When scene is finished, girls engage in fourth battle... ***************************************************************************** FINAL BOSS BATTLE, FOURTH IGNITION ------------------------------- HEAD STATISTICS ----------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 38420 | 99999 | 0 | 10 | 0 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, EJE, REF, SLOW, STOP, STR down, MAG down, DEF down, MDEF down, ACCU down, EVA down, LUCK down, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG, HAS ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- none | Megalixir | none none | Megalixir | none ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Break - VS one chr - induces petrification ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY I thought I was to fight that huge cannon you see in the sequence, heh. Anyway, you're almost there. For this battle Head must fall, but where the heck is the target entry for it? You must kill both Redoubts off at least once before you're able to target Head. As soon as Head is legit target, Redoubts get revived at same time... I advise to keep them away by killing them again - attacks they chuck your way are fairly annoying. Three dark knights will do the job successfully yet again. During first half of battle (when you can't target Head yet) girls will be attacked by frequent Pallida Mors, which inflicts moderate mgd to one girl. As Redoubts are able to revive each other, I recommend using multihit attacks, such as Darkness. What you should aim for is that both Redoubts are KO-ed at same time. As soon as this is met, Head will appear for targeting. And soon your headaches will begin as well. For second phase of battle I wouldn't worry about having too much POSSE on you - one of Redoubts knows Dispel, so why bother anyway? Dark knights have Poisonproof and Stoneproof PASA, thus successfully shrugging off two NEGSE that are frequently used in this battle. Pallida Mors is no longer used, and the other HP reducing attacks that are left are Demi, Flare, Mors Certa and Nemo Ante Mortem Beatus - latter is extremely rare and I've only been able to get it to be used twice. I dunno what exactly triggers it, but be advised - damage it does is indeed great, so either have full HP or equip acc that have Auto-Shell AAB. There's still Lacrimosa attacks, but both are laughable. Did you know that Redoubts have fixed attack pattern in 2nd half? Here it is: Right: Lacrimosa, Blind, Flare, Break, Full-Life anywhere inbetween (if other Redoubt KO-ed) Left: Lacrimosa, Slow, Dispel, Demi, Full-Life anywhere inbetween (if other Redoubt KO-ed) Darkness and silence NEGSE you might also get? Curing silence is useless (unless you're relying on white mages, but I don't find them exactly useful for this battle), and if darkness bothers you, use dark knight's Darkness attack instead - it hits everything on battlefield with 100% accuracy. Anything else you might wish to know? Tag along to final battle then... ***************************************************************************** Is it over?

If all of the requirements for perfect ending were met, and you followed my guide by the letter (which means you just attained 100% in one playthru), you will be asked a question. Choose [Yes!] and perfect ending is yours to view. Or choose [It's better this way.] if you don't wish to view it - but you've come this far, so I don't see a reason why would you want to select this one. Anyway, after your selection is done, you'll view a CGI sequence, after which game's ending credits will roll. Do not turn PS2 off yet! After credits are finished, one more CGI sequence is initiated. Believe it or not, there's *still* more. One final scene at Zanarkand will be shown - *this* is the perfect ending scene only attainable thru 100% and meeting few prerequisites.

DRESSPHERES - G1300 ============================================================================= ============================================================================= Main issues addressed in this section are: ============================================================================= Dressphere introduction ------- G1301 | How to equip DSP? ------------- G1302 How to change DSP? ------------ G1303 | Info on Special DSP ----------- G1304 Mastering DSP? ---------------- G1305 | DSP info I'll find here? ------ G1306 All DSP, all the fun! --------- G1307 | Gunner DSP -------------------- G1308 Warrior DSP ------------------- G1309 | Thief DSP --------------------- G1310 Songstress DSP ---------------- G1311 | White Mage DSP ---------------- G1312 Black Mage DSP ---------------- G1313 | Gun Mage DSP ------------------ G1314 Alchemist DSP ----------------- G1315 | Lady Luck DSP ----------------- G1316 Berserker DSP ----------------- G1317 | Dark knight DSP --------------- G1318 Samurai DSP ------------------- G1319 | Trainer DSP ------------------- G1320 Mascot DSP -------------------- G1321 | Floral Fallal SDSP ------------ G1322 Machina Maw SDSP -------------- G1323 | Full Throttle SDSP ------------ G1324 ============================================================================= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -------------------- A - DRESSPHERE INTRODUCTION - G1301 -------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- So what exactly is a DSP (dressphere)? Long story short, it is classified as a job, or class. By finding various DSP (14 DSP are usable by all girls, and 1 SDSP unique to each girl, total of 17 DSP) and inserting them into GG girls have the opportunity at the end of your fingertips to almost freely change classes in the heat of battle by a simple press of L1. After selecting DSP you wish to change into girl undergoes the change and after animation is finished, it's ass kicking time! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ----------------------- B - HOW TO EQUIP DSP? - G1302 ----------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 1. First step is to press Triangle to enter main menu, then select Garment Grid heading to be taken to the submenu, where all of GG you've obtained so far are piled up. 2. Why would you need GG, you ask? Well, without GG equipped you wouldn't be able to switch jobs in battle. Or put down in blunt way: Having GG with at least one DSP inserted into it is a necessity. You can't even leave the menu if this requirement is not met. 3. Move thru the list with up/down, or press L2/R2 to scroll thru the list. Note how there are varying amount of empty slots and strange symbols on every GG you view? Empty slots are called NODES, whereas strange symbols are referred to as GATES. You use nodes to insert DSP into them. Gates grant special properties to the girl when girl passes thru the gate as a result of dresschange. 4. Once you select GG you wish to rearrange, press X and DSP list will appear, containing all DSP you've found so far (if GG in question is already being equipped on one of the girls, you'll get a warning asking you if you really wish to continue - select yes to proceed or no to cancel). 5. Move thru DSP list with up/down, or press L2/R2 to scroll thru the list. Press Circle at desired DSP you wish to insert into GG - now cursor jumps at one of the available nodes. Set DSP with X, cancel selection with Circle, or remove already inserted DSP with Triangle. 6. At the bottom of DSP list three commands are displayed. For their explanation refer to this section - press CTRL + F and type in this phrase, without the asterisks: *ALPHA1001*. 7. Once you're done inserting DSP, press Circle to leave this submenu. Now continue inserting DSP into other GG or press Circle again to return to main menu. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ----------------------- C - HOW TO CHANGE DSP? - G1303 ---------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- You can do so in two ways - outside of battle in main menu (way A), or inside battle by accessing GG menu on girl's turn by pressing L1 button (way B). 1. MAIN MENU - First gain access to main menu by pressing Triangle - from (WAY A) here select Equipment heading, followed by Dressphere entry. It is used to change jobs for the girl. You'll be taken to an overview of GG currently equipped - it will also display all DSP inserted into that GG. Move the cursor about and press X to change the job or Circle to cancel. - Pay attention to girl's stats and MCW. Many of the jobs drastically change stats and may add new commands to girl's MCW - of course, it may also delete or replace them, so be careful. Various explanations of MCW commands are found in section 14, Dressphere abilities. 2. IN BATTLE - On any of girl's turns press L1 to be taken to that girl's (WAY B) equipped GG. It will be displayed on most of the screen, while in upper right corner you will be able to view flow of battle in a minimized window. Choose one of DSP (which *isn't* DSP currently equipped) and press X to have the girl change into new job. You can only select DSP that are one link away from currently equipped DSP (gates aren't included in this equation). - If the job change causes the girl to take a pass thru one of the gates on GG, then she may be bestowed with a special effect, like gaining new spell, gaining element properties to her PATK or increasing certain statistics. Detailed info on special effects granted are discussed in Garment Grid section of this guide. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ---------------------- D - INFO ON SPECIAL DSP - G1304 ---------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- SDSP cannot be placed on GG; you can change into them only when a girl has been in every DSP on her GG. Let's say you have Protection Halo GG equipped for Yuna with gunner, warrior, thief, black mage, and white mage on it, and she starts off as gunner in battle. In order to change into Floral Fallal, she must change into warrior, thief, black mage, and white mage DSP. After that, bring up the GG and press R1 for her SDSP. When you use SDSP, the other two girls disappear. You lose Rikku & Paine, and now you have a party of Yuna along with two other 'parts'. SDSP are not given to you in the beginning of the game; you must find them before you can use them. Note: You can easily see what path you took on specific GG by distinguishing the connecting lines - ones you've already taken are displayed in blue. There is a small SDSP trick involved. The more nodes GG you're using has, the higher the main unit's HP, MP, Strength, Magic, Defense, and Magic Defense will be after the girl transfors into SDSP. Note that only *main* unit is affected. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------- E - MASTERING DSP? - G1305 - ALPHA1002 ------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- DSP is mastered once you learn all of the abilities particular DSP has to offer. You'll know so when 'MASTER' sign appears next to DSP name once you examine Ability heading in main menu. Three DSP have special requirements that must be met before being mastered. SONGSTRESS DSP - Max amount of abilities you can learn the hard way is 14. For remaining two you must find two key items that allow Songstress to learn two special dances. GUN MAGE DSP - Max amount of abilities you can learn the hard way is 16. Then you prolly still wonder why the heck you have 84% completion there? Access command Blue Bullet when in battle and you'll see it's empty. That's cos you haven't learned any of blue magic yet. For each of 16 blue magics you learn, 1% is added to mastering gun mage. Once you have them all, this DSP is mastered. SPECIAL DSP - Max amount of abilities you can learn for all three parts the hard way is 14. Like with songstress, here you'll be missing two as well. And again you must find two key items that allow SDSP to have BDL and BHL. Take note, you must find two key items for Rikku, two for Yuna, two for Paine! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -------------------- F - DSP INFO I'LL FIND HERE? - G1306 ------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Chart overview: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. DSP name | 2. Available to? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. DSP overview 4. Stat pros 5. Stat cons 6. Obtain how? Chart explanation: 1. DSP name : Name of the DSP we're discussing 2. Available to: Which girls can equip DSP in question 3. DSP overview: I'll give you a description of DSP in question and some personal opinions on it 4. Stat pros : Which are the stats this job excels IMO - If at girl's LV99 stat in question exceeds 3000 HP, 250 MP, value of 120+ for [STR, DEF, MAG, MDEF, ACCU], value of 50+ for [AGL, EVA], value of 30+ for [LUCK], then I consider this stat to be stat pro 5. Stat cons : Which are the stats this job is poor in IMO - If at girl's LV99 stat in question is below 3000 HP, 250 MP, value below 120 for [STR, DEF, MAG, MDEF, ACCU], value below 50 for [AGL, EVA], value below 30 for [LUCK], then I consider this stat to be stat con - Amount of '!' signs following the stat denotes how seriously should you consider upping that particular stat - more '!' there are, higher the importance of upping it - If no '!' is following a certain stat, that means that stat in question is close to pro value 6. Obtain how? : All the ways of obtaining this DSP -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- --------------------- G - ALL DSP, ALL THE FUN! - G1307 --------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- No, this isn't a poll on which girl looks the hottest in certain job (my votes go to Rikku as Lady Luck and Yuna as Floral Fallal), but more an overlook into different DSP and to give you my opinion on how useful these DSP may be. Let's begin the dance (can't choose between Rikku or Yuna)! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gunner - G1308 | Available to? - Yuna, Rikku, Paine ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview? - As this is Yuna's job she begins with, it's pretty basic in many aspects. I wouldn't recommend relying too heavily on it, as it isn't that hot and useful IMO - gunner's abilities aren't up to par, and Darkproof & Sleepproof PASA also don't cut it. There's one occassion where this job shines - if you have Cat Nip acc, equip it and select Trigger Happy command when girl is in critical condition for a bunch of 9999 shots. Stat pros - STR, AGL, ACCU Stat cons - HP, MP!, DEF!!, MAG!, MDEF!!, EVA!!!, LUCK! Obtain how?- Yuna starts with this DSP. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warrior - G1309 | Available to? - Yuna, Rikku, Paine ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview? - Really useful class for beginning stages of the game. Packs all six types of elemental attacks, has break skills and can delay enemy's actions as well, this job will serve you well. Is there a particular enemy or enemy party you don't wish to be bothered with? Cast Assault and they'll go down the crapper faster than you can say... erm, whatever. Later on, this job's usefulness is outmatched by dark knight. Stat pros - HP, STR, DEF, AGL Stat cons - MP!, MAG!!, MDEF!!!, ACCU, EVA!!!, LUCK!!! Obtain how?- Paine starts with this DSP. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thief - G1310 | Available to? - Yuna, Rikku, Paine ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview? - One of the ways to get ahold of really rare and useful items is thru thief's abilities. But not only that, thief can also steal enemy's HP and MP, as well as cash - she may even force the enemy to escape from battle. Thief is the only job that attacks twice for each PATK you select to use, plus she excels in AGL and barrage of attacks she can use really often. Stat pros - HP, STR, AGL, LUCK Stat cons - MP!, DEF!!, MAG!, MDEF!!, ACCU, EVA! Obtain how?- Rikku starts with this DSP. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Songstress - G1311 | Available to? - Yuna, Rikku, Paine ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview? - After some more playing I've come to realize just how useful this job can be. Keeping enemies asleep for as long as she dances, and physical attacks won't wake them up! Being invulnerable to any magic attack (kicks Black Elemental in the nuts)! However, pain is great - low HP and extraordinarily low defensive stats makes her fall easily to just about everything. Plus effects of dances and songs aren't all that useful - this can be corrected by equipping her with Adamantite and Shmooth Shailing for super long dance effects (Shailing tip submitted by NGEVA). Stat pros - MP, MAG, AGL Stat cons - HP!, STR (can't attack), DEF!!!, MDEF!!, ACCU (can't attack), EVA!!!, LUCK!!! Obtain how?- Gained as battle spoils from main boss of Storyline Mission 1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- White Mage - G1312 | Available to? - Yuna, Rikku, Paine ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview? - Yay, one of my favorite jobs. Comes fully equipped with healing magic, revival magic, Esuna, Protect, Shell and always evil Reflect - all of these are useful abilities for just about any battle in the game. Downside? Low HP, DEF and EVA. You also don't get to use Haste/ga, Holy and Auto-Life, for which you must fulfill certain requirements - even so never underestimate white mage. She can save your rear more than once, if you play her wisely. Stat pros - MP, MAG, MDEF, AGL Stat cons - HP!!, STR (can't attack), DEF!!!, ACCU (can't attack), EVA!!!, LUCK!!! Obtain how?- CH1 - defeat Flame Dragon boss in storyline mission 3 in Besaid ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Black Mage - G1313 | Available to? - Yuna, Rikku, Paine ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview? - Black mage is another job I find very disappointing. Besides some crappy abilities all magics she has to offer are of elemental type. Where's Flare, Ultima, Demi and the rest of crusade? You have to work for those, nyah nyah *shakes fist*. Stat pros - MP, MAG, MDEF, AGL Stat cons - HP!!, STR (can't attack), DEF!!!, ACCU (can't attack), EVA!!!, LUCK!!! Obtain how?- CH1 - after defeating Boris, consult with Shinra aboard Celsius ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gun Mage - G1314 | Available to? - Yuna, Rikku, Paine ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview? - Or blue mage, if you prefer. What she does is: get hit by one of enemy's special attacks and if you're lucky, gun mage will learn it for later use. Yay! Blue magic has IMO always been the most useful of all magic classes. White Wind finally after long pause removes NEGSE as well! Mighty Guard still bites tho'. There's still more she's good at: her shot techs can deal quadruple damage to most enemy species and she has Scan, with which you can view your enemy's stats, strengths and weaknesses. BTW, do you also find it *extremely* naughty that only 3rd level of Scan allows you to scan your own girls? Stat pros - MP, STR, MAG, AGL, ACCU Stat cons - HP!, DEF!!, MDEF!, EVA!!!, LUCK!!! Obtain how?- CH1 - attempt 'Shave the Hypello' mission in Moonflow, you can lose all luggage, simply make it to the river CH2 - attempt 'YRP, the scalpers three' mission in Moonflow, and sell more than six tickets with profit (or breaking even) to ensure getting it ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alchemist - G1315 | Available to? - Yuna, Rikku, Paine ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview? - Alchemists rule! Her ability to produce items outta the blue without decreasing your item stock is priceless (sniff, no Megalixir this way). Once you get all of her abilities, effects of almost all items are doubled. Couple that with Mix command and you got yourself a job you won't wish to part with - Mix allows for all kinds of weird situations, all of which are described in my separate 'Mix List' guide, also available at GameFAQs. Stat pros - STR, AGL, ACCU Stat cons - HP!, MP!!, DEF!!!, MAG!!, MDEF!!!, EVA!!!, LUCK!!! Obtain how?- CH2 - meet Clasko in CH1 during 'Foggy Fiend Frenzy' mission in Mushroom; after completing it, return to SSP found at the entrance to 'Mushroom rock' screen - he'll be located on the right; talk to him and say [The more, the merrier!]; then participate in 'Cuckoo for Chocobos' mission on Mi'ihen in CH2 and Clasko will help you; after wasting the boss enter 'M - agency, f' screen and invite both Clasko and Calli onboard (Calli will come onboard only if you were able to get a chocobo for her); finally go to Calm lands, enter the 'Facility ruins' and complete 'Clean Sweep' mission CH3, CH5 - if you did not participate in 'Foggy Fiend Frenzy' mission or didn't invite Clasko on Celsius, then find him in CH2 on 'Mushroom rock' screen just before you enter 'M - ravine path' - he'll run off to Calm lands and you'll find him there in CH3 (or CH5) - complete 'Clean Sweep' mission and ranch is open CH3, CH5 - if you invite Clasko onboard, but fail to stop by Calm lands in CH2, he'll appear there automatically in CH3 (or CH5 - ranch is open after 'Clean sweep' is taken care of ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lady Luck - G1316 | Available to? - Yuna, Rikku, Paine ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview? - Can I write in big fat letters? SEXY!!! Not only that, her abilities with slots allow you to cast Ultima for free, heal your girls for free and much much more. Slot possibilities are almost endless. Lady Luck is the master of chaining - get her to throw four sixes and watch that chain count up. She also has Bribe ability, granting you an opportunity to bribe the enemies and hopefully get sth in return. When mastered fully, Lady Luck offers double EXP, gil and items when battle is won. Don't you just love being lucky? But beware - mess up on slots one time too many and it may be game over for you... you'll know what I mean when you experience it. This makes her double-edged sword. If you're in possession of Cat Nip, combine it with Four Dice and you may get in 24 hits for 9999 damage, even higher than famous Trigger Happy. Stat pros - MP, STR, AGL, ACCU, LUCK Stat cons - HP!, DEF!!!, MAG, MDEF!!, EVA!!! Obtain how?- CH3 - win three games of Sphere Break in Luca so that you're able to enter the finals against Shinra; outplay Shinra to obtain this DSP; I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU GET IT NOW! CH5 - if you lose or didn't participate in Sphere Break in CH3, you can try playing Shinra in Luca - he can be found in 'Basement A' screen for second chance of obtaining this DSP, but beware, this time he's much tougher! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Berserker - G1317 | Available to? - Yuna, Rikku, Paine ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview? - One of more powerful classes, this one relies solely on raw power of PATK and ability to counter almost anything. Whether or not you wish to have her berserked is your choice - once she has Auto-Regen PASA, she's almost unstoppable if you couple that with Magic Counter and Evade&Counter PASA. Berserker is very vulnerable to most status changes, so if you get one and girl is berserked cos of you commanding so, you may be screwed... Stat pros - HP, STR, AGL Stat cons - MP!!, DEF!!!, MAG!!!, MDEF!!!, ACCU, EVA!!, LUCK!! Obtain how?- CH3 - complete 'Protect the Agency' mission in Macalania ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dark Knight - G1318 | Available to? - Yuna, Rikku, Paine ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview? - Yesss, another powerhouse. ACTA suck (who needs status magic anyway?), but many PASA she can obtain make up for it. I love Darkness MCWc - at expense of some user's HP it hits every enemy on the field 100% and ignores special defenses. Never use Charon ACTA... having one girl less to be able to battle is too high of a price to be paid for massive damage. Stat pros - HP, MP, STR, DEF Stat cons - MAG, MDEF, AGL, ACCU, EVA!!!, LUCK!!! Obtain how?- CH2 - get in in 'Bevelle - labyrinth 2' screen - ahead you see three lifts; use left one first - on upper level climb both elevations to get access to final lift up here; now go S all the way until you fall down - use N lift now to be transported to elevated switch - climb onto it and two pillars will rise somewhere; go back down, and now ride right lift to upper level; take left lift back down to lower level - use N lift again and you get access to another elevated switch - climb onto it and you have now complete access to this DSP; use the lift to ride back down, then use left lift to go back up to upper level - finally use top lift here to get even higher; up here use the pillars you've been rising to collect this DSP CH3 - if you sided with New Yevon, you have the ability of entering Bevelle dungeon thru whole chapter; if you sided with Youth League, there's only one chance - AFTER completing both Kilika and Besaid HS, but BEFORE attempting Djose HS; follow instructions a bit above CH5 - same as for CH2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Samurai - G1319 | Available to? - Yuna, Rikku, Paine ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview? - Go, samurai! Spare Change, now! I love using cash for dealing damage to enemies. And in FFX-2, max damage when throwing gil has been upped to 99999! That and many other useful abilities (too bad they only work on user and you can't target other two girls) may prompt you to use samurai job often. Insta-kill move for all enemies is absolutely the king. And Zantetsu can kill *anything* in the game - this includes Trema, if you're lucky. Stat pros - HP, STR, AGL Stat cons - MP, DEF!!!, MAG, MDEF!!, ACCU, EVA!!!, LUCK!! Obtain how?- CH3 - when attempting storyline mission 10 in Kilika temple, kill two Daevas in fixed battle, then look carefully at the floor for circular shape - pick it up CH5 - if you did not collect it in CH3, you can find this DSP inside one of the chests in Kilika temple ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trainer - G1320 | Available to? - Yuna, Rikku, Paine* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview? - Trainer is a fun job, but I don't find myself using it very often, for I think other jobs may do same thing better. Yuna's abilities are meant more for dealing element type damage, while Rikku's specialize more in giving enemies headaches with various statuses. Paine's is half enemy-annoyance-attacks, half helping the party with protect, shell and haste. All three classes possess abilities to heal whole party at once. Stat pros - HP, STR, AGL Stat cons - MP, DEF!!, MAG!!, MDEF!!!, ACCU, EVA!!!, LUCK!!! Obtain how?- CH3 - meet Kimahri in CH2, talk to him twice and pick middle option; meet Kimahri in CH3 and this DSP is yours * note - Each girl uses different animal and has different set of abilities she can choose from. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mascot - G1321 | Available to? - Yuna, Rikku, Paine* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview? - Most powerful job IMO. In addition to primary set of abilities each of two girls has access to two more set of abilities for other jobs... Yuna - as mascot she specializes in aiding, healing and reviving, but to wipe that smirk off your face, she also has access to abilities of warrior and dark knight Rikku - as mascot she loves to deal element damage and annoy enemies with status changes, and she also has access to abilities of berserker and white mage Paine - damage and status changes on enemies as a mascot, and access to samurai and black mage abilities All of this mayhem will easily convince you that mascot is the definitive DSP. In addition mascot can learn Ribbon PASA. Stat pros - HP, MP, STR, DEF, MAG, MDEF, AGL, ACCU Stat cons - EVA!!!, LUCK!! Obtain how?- CH5 - get Episode Complete! in all 15 areas of Spira** * note - Each girl uses different outfit and has different set of abilities she can choose from. ** note - follow this guide for directions on getting mascot db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_2_mascot_speed.txt ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Floral Fallal - G1322 | Available to? - Yuna ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview? - When a tough enemy just won't go down, and you're on brink of extinction - bring in fallen angel! Yuna's sexyness will easily avert enemy's attention and help you kill them more easily... just kidding, there's more to do than look at the body. Floral Fallal offers a wide variety of abilities: ranging from element attacks over healing to status annoyance. Combine that with Ribbon, BHL, BDL, Double HP and Triple HP and you have a definitive killermachine, even stronger than fabled mascot. MAIN PART Stat pros - HP, MP, STR, MAG, MDEF Stat cons - DEF!, AGL, ACCU, EVA!!!, LUCK!!! LEFT PART Stat pros - HP, MP, STR, MAG Stat cons - DEF!!, MDEF, AGL, ACCU, EVA!!!, LUCK!!! RIGHT PART Stat pros - HP, MP, STR, MAG Stat cons - DEF!!, MDEF, AGL, ACCU, EVA!!!, LUCK!!! Obtain how?- CH2 - find on Djose highroad when looking for Syndicate uniforms ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Machina Maw - G1323 | Available to? - Rikku ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview? - When a tough enemy just won't go down, summon a machina and watch that hapless enemy be trampled into oblivion. Like Floral Fallal, Machina Maw is also a force to be reckoned with: it offers attacks that inflict status changes, skills that aid girl's status (or machina's in this particular example), as well as good ol' fashioned PATK. Combine that with Ribbon, BHL, BDL, Double HP and Triple HP and you have a definitive killermachine, and I do mean literally. MAIN PART Stat pros - HP, MP, STR, DEF, MAG, ACCU Stat cons - MDEF!!, AGL, EVA!!!, LUCK!!! LEFT PART Stat pros - HP, MP, STR, MAG, ACCU Stat cons - DEF!!, MDEF!!!, AGL, EVA!!!, LUCK!!! RIGHT PART Stat pros - HP, MP, STR, MAG, ACCU Stat cons - DEF!!, MDEF!!!, AGL, EVA!!!, LUCK!!! Obtain how?- CH2 - find in Bikanel Oasis when looking for Syndicate uniforms ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Throttle - G1324 | Available to? - Paine ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview? - Final DSP and weirdest of them all IMO. Just what the heck is this thing? Those things aside, I'm more interested on what's inside of... I mean, which abilities are at your disposal - after taking a closer look, nothing really stands out. You have usual element based attacks, then attacks that induce status changes as well as healing abilities. Ribbon, BHL, BDL, Double HP and Triple HP mustn't be forgotten as well. MAIN PART Stat pros - HP, STR, DEF, MAG, AGL, ACCU Stat cons - MP!!, MDEF, EVA!!!, LUCK!! LEFT PART Stat pros - HP, MP, STR, MAG, ACCU Stat cons - DEF, MDEF!!, AGL, EVA!!!, LUCK!!! RIGHT PART Stat pros - HP, MP, STR, MAG, ACCU Stat cons - DEF, MDEF!!, AGL, EVA!!!, LUCK!!! Obtain how?- CH1 - visit 'Macalania Spring' and find Tromell here - talk to him four times and he spits out this SDSP CH2 - you must complete musicians subquest first - it doesn't matter if you beam to Celsius - return to 'MW - spring 1' and Tromell can be found there again, so talk to him four times and this SDSP is yours ============================================================================= ============================================================================= 14.)

BASICS OF ABILITIES - G14001 --------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Abilities have and always will be one of my favorite parts of guides. To make short story even shorter, abilities are one of most important aspects of this game. Do not confuse them with auto-abilities of acc! Auto-abilities are discussed in section 16. Abilities come on each and every of 17 DSP you can obtain. Single DSP allows you to learn a maximum of 16 abilities that are tied to that particular DSP. Once all 16 abilities of DSP are learned, DSP gains 'MASTER' sign - this means that DSP is mastered and nothing else can be learned. Three exceptions apply - press CTRL + F and type in this phrase, without the asterisks: *ALPHA1002*. What do abilities do? Well, they help you in various ways, either by nailing enemies with powerful attacks, healing/aiding your girls (casting Curaga to heal them or casting Protect to make them halve phd they take) or plain ol' escaping from battle. There's over 400 abilities to choose from and all of them will be covered here. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ---------------------- B - LEARNING ABILITIES? - G14002 --------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- In order to learn abilities for particular DSP, you must equip that DSP and do battle. Each action taken while girl is in DSP awards some AP to ability being learned. By 'each action' I mean - you either use Item command, or one of already learned abilities for that DSP. Note that killed enemies award AP to all girls, not just the one who killed it. Different abilities require different amount/s of AP before they're learned - please note that some DSP are already learned when you gain possession of new DSP (like for example Attack). Basic abilities require less, while some of most powerful require insane amount of AP before you can use them (999 AP for Ribbon, for example). Besides the case in which you need to find certain key item before ability is enabled for learning (described just a little bit above) or being hit by specific enemy attacks in case of gun mage, most abilities will require you to learn 'prerequisite abilities'. I'll give you few examples of what I mean. Trigger Happy Lv3 - will only appear after Trigger Happy Lv2 is learned Blizzaga - will only appear after Blizzara is learned Delay Buster - will only appear after Delay Attack is learned For more info on ability learning - press CTRL + F and type in this phrase, without the asterisks: *ALPHA1003*. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ---------------------- C - ABILITY 'CLASSES'? - G14003 ---------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- To sort abilities in their proper 'class' (this has nothing to do with jobs), I'll sort them under three main categories. 1. 'Main Command Window' command (MCW command) These will be abilities that enable girl to have a new command available in MCW, whenever girl is doing battle. A clear example is 'Attack' command of warrior. 2. Active type ability (ACTA) These will be abilities that girl can actively choose from whenever she's doing battle - ACTA help the girls to change the flow of battle in their favor or simply to have fun (for me it's more of the latter, hehe). I know this sounds complicated... how can I put this simply? Let's say that girl chooses one of MCW commands she has at her disposal, for example 'White Magic'. A sublist will appear, containing all white magics girl has learned so far - in other words, active type abilities. 3. Passive type ability (PASA) These are all abilities that work passively and are always in effect, as soon as appropriate DSP is worn. In other words, there's no way for girls to choose which PASA they would like to use, simply cos they're already in effect. Examples, you say? Slowproof PASA of thief, Deathproof PASA of dark knight and Ribbon PASA of mascot are some examples. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- --------------------------- D - MP ISSUE - G14004 --------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Many ACTA require girls to have sufficient MP at disposal. If you'd like to have Yuna cast Fire, she must have at least 4 MP left. If MP is 3 or less, Fire cannot be cast. In addition to that, Fire ACTA will also be greyed out and you'll get a warning sound whenever you press X on it. In short, all ACTA that can be used with whatever MP amount you currently have, will be displayed in white. If you don't have sufficient amount of MP to cast/use certain/all ACTA, then such ACTA will be greyed out. PASA do not require MP in order to be used - they're always in effect, as soon as appropriate DSP is worn, remember? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ----------------- E - HOW WILL I PRESENT THE INFO? - G14005 ----------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- As mentioned, there's 17 DSP in total. Taking into account that mascot and trainer have different ability sets for each girl, and that each SDSP consists of three parts, total amount of listed ability sets will be 27. An entry for say warrior will be made, followed by a detailed list of all abilities this job can learn. In that list you will be able to find what is important to know, ie how much AP is needed before ability is learned, how much MP (if any) needs to be consumed at time of execution etc. There will be six extra entries listed, for which I will arrange the presentation a little differently: - gun mage's Blue Bullet abilities - lady luck's Attack Reels abilities - lady luck's Magic Reels abilities - lady luck's Item Reels abilities - lady luck's Random Reels abilities - alchemist's Mix abilities -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ----------------- F - CHART EXAMPLE AND EXPLANATION - G14006 ---------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Use this section as a reference when you don't know or forget how to read my chart. There will be a lot to cover, so let's begin. Example: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Ability name | 2. MP? | 3. TRG? | 4. Type? | 5. AP? 6. What it does? 7. Prerequisites? 8. Add. info? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Explanation: 1. Ability name : name of the ability in question 2. MP? : how much MP is needed to execute ability in question; in here one of two numbers will appear... 'na' - means that ability in question doesn't require MP in order to be cast/used '50' - means that ability in question requires certain amount of MP before it is cast/used; amount of MP needed ranges from 2 to 99 3. TRG? (target) : many of the abilities can be used only on enemies, on girls or both - this part will tell you that piece of information; here are 'marks' I'll be using... '1 G' - denotes that ability in question can only be used on one of three girls '1 E' - denotes that ability in question can only be used on one of the enemies '1 ANY' - denotes that ability in question can be used either on one of three girls or one of the enemies 'SELF' - denotes that ability in question can only be used on user (ie self), or ability is question is of PASA type 'ALL G' - denotes that ability in question can only be used on your own party 'ALL E' - denotes that ability in question can only be used on enemy party 'ANY GRP' - denotes that ability in question can be used either on your own party or enemy party 'none' - denotes that ability in question doesn't target anything, instead it leads to a submenu with more choices (for example Gunplay ability of gunner) '1 / ALL' - denotes that ability in question can affect either: 1 girl, all girls, 1 enemy, all enemies 4. Type? : will tell you if ability in question is ACTA, PASA or MCW command type 'ACTA' - ability in question is active type command 'PASA' - ability in question is passive type command 'MCWc' - ability in question adds new command to MCW 5. AP? : how much AP do you need to accrue before ability in question is learned; in here one of two numbers will appear... 'na' - means that ability in question is already learned '50' - means that ability in question needs to accumulate 50 AP before it is learned; amount of AP needed ranges from 10 to 999 6. What it does? : detailed explanation of what exactly does ability in question do, followed by damage formulas for some of special abilities (if I'll be able to figure it out) 'NON-E' - denotes that mgd is of non-elemental type 'light' - denotes that damage is of lightning type (be it physical or magical) Be advised that if attack carries some POSSE or NEGSE and if target is resistant to those status changes, status change may not occur or will fail. 7. Prerequisites?: some abilities require other abilities to be learned first or you must find correspondig item first - use this part to find out what's needed before ability can be learned 8. Add. info? : This will cover the rest of info I can't fit anywhere else, these being... - if ability is white magic or black magic, this sign denotes that such ability can be reflected back to the caster (some magics can't be reflected!) - if ability is of magical nature, this sign denotes that such ability's effects can be lessened by 50% if target is under shell POSSE

- if ability is of physical nature, this sign denotes that such ability's effects can be lessened by 50% if target is under protect POSSE - if ability is of magical nature, this sign denotes that such ability's effects can be increased by raising user's MAG stat or inducing MDEF down NEGSE on target - if ability is of physical nature, this sign denotes that such ability's effects can be increased by raising user's STR stat or inducing DEF down NEGSE on target - if ability is of elemental nature, this sign denotes that such ability's effects will be affected by target's element affinities, ie effects can be halved (target is strong VS that element), nulled (target is immune against that element), absorbed (target absorbs that element), or they will do critical damage (target is weak against that element) - if ability in question requires charging before it can be used, this mark will denote that fact - ability in question is executed immediately, but then requires the girl to enter recovery phase before her next turn is up; this mark will denote that fact <2xRT> - same as class abilities, only difference is that after ability is executed, recovery time before girl's next turn is twice as long - ability in question can do double (critical) damage If there are no marks found by specific ability, it means that such effect doesn't exist for that ability. For example, it's useless and silly to make mark by Firaga ability. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ---------------------------- G - GUNNER - G14007 ---------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- MAIN COMMAND WINDOW HAS FOLLOWING COMMANDS: Attack, Trigger Happy, Gunplay, Item ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attack - G14008 | MP - na | TRG - 1 ANY | Type - MCWc | AP - na What it does?

OVERVIEW - G15129 --------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 1. Accessories (acc for short) are, besides GG and DSP, only pieces of equipment you'll lay your hands on. There's a grand total of 128 different acc you can find in whole game. 2. Taking into aspect rarity (ie how often you can obtain acc) acc can be classified in three different categories. These are: - COMMON ACC: These are acc you'll find the most of. You'll recognize them straight away by bronze colored wrist, preceeding acc's name. - UNCOMMON ACC: These acc are bit rarer than common, but still not that rare. You'll recognize them straight away by silver colored wrist, preceeding acc's name. - RARE ACC: These acc are rarest of them all. They cannot be obtained so easily and you must often work hard to achieve them. You'll recognize them straight away by gold colored wrist, preceeding acc's name. 3. All acc grant special effects when equipped on girls. Effects range from boosting certain stats over granting new abilities to bestowing various other effects. Do take care - not all special effects are beneficial, sometimes you will be penalized for having acc equipped. 4. Taking into aspect special effects acc grants when equipped acc can be classified in five different categories. These are: - STATISTIC ACC: These type of acc boost one or more of girl's stats when equipped. All acc that fall in this category bestow beneficial effects when equipped. - ELEMENTAL ACC: These type of acc boost both one or more of girl's stats as well as grant element properties (either to girl's PATK or girl's element affinities) when equipped. All acc that fall in this category bestow beneficial effects when equipped. - STATUS ACC: There's many different effects that come into play. You'll learn about them in respective section, so no fret. Beware! Some acc that fall in this category will penalize you for having them equipped. - ABILITY ACC: These type of acc boost one or more of girl's stats when equipped and at same time grant the ability for girl to perform actions which are otherwise not available to her. All acc that fall in this category bestow beneficial effects when equipped. - SPECIAL ACC: There's many different effects that come into mind. You'll learn about them in respective section, so no fret. Beware! Some acc that fall in this category will penalize you for having them equipped. 5. Acc can be obtained in variety of ways - you can steal them from enemies, receive them as battle spoils, bribe enemies to hand them over, find them in treasure chests, receive them as gifts from people, buy them in one of many shops or receive them as prizes in many minigames. 6. Finally, you can equip up to two acc to a single girl. There's no way in hell to equip more than two acc. Two is the max you can gave equipped. When in doubt, reread this point again. 7. Take note that first time around I've taken names of acc as translated on Seph's unofficial translation site (link is in credits section), so he gets kudos for making this section possible. Now that US version is within my grasp, I've made necessary changes. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------ B - CHART OVERVIEW - G15130 ------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - Sample acc chart which will apply to most accessories: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Acc's name | 2. Stat effects? | 3. Sell/Buy? | 4. Rarity 5. Auto-abilities? 6. Obtained? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Explanation of the chart sections: 1. Listed here be name of acc you're wondering about. 2. If acc in question is equipped, what are effects of it being equipped? Stat followed by '+' sign means that relevant stat is increased, stat followed by '-' sign means that relevant stat is decreased. Stats are raised either by a predermined amount, or by a certain percentage (such stat increases will be followed by '%' sign). 3. Sell cost and buying price of acc in question. 4. Rarity of acc in question, which will be represented by one of three letters: 'C' for common, 'U' for uncommon and 'R' for rare. 5. Sometimes AAB is/are present on acc - names of those AAB will be here. 6. Here I will typical whereabouts of acc locations. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- --------------------- C - STATISTIC ACCESSORIES - G15131 -------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Note: None of these acc have AAB on them, therefore that part of chart isn't needed. Same applies for 'Add. info' part of chart - it isn't needed cos there's nothing special to be told. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amulet - G15001 | MAG+10 | Sell/Buy: 250/1000 | C Obtained?: Calm lands shop CH1-2, Guardian Beast, steal League Mage ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Black Belt - G15002 | STR+20, DEF+20 | Sell/Buy: 2000/- | C Obtained?: Mi'ihen CH5, Thunder p.

I think that GG can best be described as a piece of armor, if you wish. Each girl must be equipped with one of many GG you will come across in the game. Just equipping GG on girls won't do much good - you must also insert at least one of already obtained DSP in one of the nodes present of GG. Unless at least one DSP is inserted, you cannot leave GG menu (for more explanation on GG menu refer to section 8). In other words - EACH GIRL MUST BE EQUIPPED WITH GG THAT HAS AT LEAST ONE DSP INSERTED INTO THAT PARTICULAR GG. Only then will you be let out of the GG menu. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------ B - UNDERSTANDING GARMENT GRID MENU SCREEN? - G1602 ------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I will describe how to read GG menu screen very quickly. 1. Help line on the top is always there. 2. On the left a list of all GG you obtained so far is displayed. Move thru the list with up/down, or press L2/R2 to scroll thru the list. 3. Right half of the screen shows how does particular GG look like. 4. Below information about particular GG is displayed - this info tells you what are the effects of GG when it is equipped and what benefits do girls gain if during Spherechange Up they pass thru one of the gates. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ----------- C - SPECIAL EFFECTS OF EQUIPPED GARMENT GRID? - G1603 ----------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Special effects gained when equipping particular GG range greatly. They can be classified in three categories (abbreviations found below will help you quickly determine what type of effect is being granted to you): 1. STAT INCREASE - When equipping GG which grants this type of special (P-STAT+) effect/s, one or more of girl's stats is permanently increased for as long as GG isn't removed. Examples: DEF+15, MDEF+20, STR+20 2. ACTIVE ABILITY - When equipping GG which grants this type of special (P-ACTA) effect/s, girl gains permanent access to one or more abilities to be used/cast during battle for as long as GG isn't removed. In other words, you as the player will have the option to choose when, how and why you wish to use/cast the ability you've been granted access to. Examples: Holy, Waterga, Flare, Ultima 3. PASSIVE ABILITY - When equipping GG which grants this type of special (P-PASA) effect/s, girl gains permanent access to one or more auto-abilities which are then in effect for as long as GG isn't removed (effects of auto-abilities may show on field screen or inside of battle). In other words, you as the player will have no control over such abilities - they will always be in effect regardless of your past or future actions. Examples: Break HP Limit, MP Stroll, HP Stroll -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------- D - WHAT IS A NODE? - G1604 ----------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- You've probably noticed some empty slots on GG, which lie scattered around and are connected to another slot with a line. These slots are otherwise known as NODES. Number of nodes on single GG ranges from 2 nodes up to 6 nodes. Sole purpose of the nodes is to provide a place for your DSP to be put in. Nodes are present on every GG available in FFX-2. For more information on how to equip/insert DSP, please refer to section 8. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------ E - WHAT IS A GATE? - G1605 ------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Besides nodes you've also noticed that some GG have colored orbs, which come in variety of four colors: red, green, blue and yellow. These orbs are called GATES. As you already know, two adjacent nodes are connected by a single line - but sometimes one of the four orbs mentioned above is placed on that connecting line. If girl enters GG menu during battle by pressing L1, and selects to transform into DSP adjacent to the DSP she's currently wearing AND passes thru the gate, this often results in some special effects being granted to the girl. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------- F - SPECIAL EFFECTS AS A RESULT OF PASSING THRU GATES? - G1606 ------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Special effects gained when passing thru the gate range greatly. They can be classified in three categories (abbreviations found below will help you quickly determine what type of effect is being granted to you): 1. STAT INCREASE - When passing thru the gate which grants this type of (T-STAT+) special effect/s, one or more of girl's stats is increased for duration of the battle. Effects can stack. Examples: DEF+15, MDEF+20, STR+20 2. ACTIVE ABILITY - When passing thru the gate which grants this type of (T-ACTA) special effect/s, girl gains one or more abilities to be used/cast for duration of the battle. In other words, you as the player will have the option to choose when, how and why you wish to use/cast the ability you've been granted access to. Examples: Holy, Waterga, Flare, Ultima 3. PASSIVE ABILITY - When passing thru the gate which grants this type of (T-PASA) special effect/s, girl gains one or more auto- abilities which are then in effect until the end of battle. In other words, you as the player will have no control over such abilities - they will always be in effect regardless of your past or future actions. Examples: Auto-Shell, Confusetouch, Holy Eater Use Swordplay abilities, Use Arcana abilities -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------- G - ONE GATE - ONE EFFECT? VS MORE GATES - ONE EFFECT? - G1607 ------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- You prolly wonder what does the title of this sub-section mean... Simple. When you're examining GG in the menu, throw a look at bottom right corner where you will see information on what special effects are bestowed by passing thru specific gates. Note how some effects are preceeded by single colored orb, while other effects may be preceeded by up to four colored orbs? Here's an example of what does that mean. For the example I shall use Heart of Flame GG, which has 3 nodes along with yellow, green and red gates. GG's info in lower right corner says: - Equip: Fire Eater, Use Fire - Yellow gate: Firestrike - Green + Red gate: Use Fira - Green + Red + Yellow gate: Use Firaga So, what does this tell you? When in battle and you choose to perform dresschange with say Yuna, have her change so that she will have to pass thru yellow gate. When job change is complete, Yuna's PATK will be imbued by Firestrike, meaning she can deal fire phd to her targets when attacking physically. Getting Yuna to be able to cast Fira takes a bit longer, for she must pass thru BOTH green and red gates before she's able to get access to Fira. The order of passing thru mentioned gates is not fixed - you can do green first, then red, or vice versa. It only matters that you pass thru both gates. Same requirements apply for getting Yuna to be able to cast Firaga. You must pass thru all three gates on GG before she's granted access to Firaga. Again, the order of passing thru mentioned gates is not fixed - you can do green first, then red, and finally yellow, or whichever combo falls onto your mind. It only matters that you pass thru all gates. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -- H - DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EFFECTS OF EQUIPPED GG / ACTIVATED GATES? - G1608 - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Although many of special effects granted when GG is equipped are the same as those that are bestowed when gates are passed and activated, please take into consideration this important difference. SPECIAL EFFECTS GRANTED WHEN GG IS EQUIPPED ARE PERMANENT, IE FOR AS LONG AS GG ISN'T REMOVED FROM THE GIRL. HOWEVER, SPECIAL EFFECTS GRANTED BY ACTIVATED GATES ARE ONLY TEMPORARY, IE ONCE THE BATTLE IS OVER, ALL BENEFICIAL FACTORS GAINED THAT WAY ARE LOST. A simple abbreviation will let you know about nature of special effect. P-STAT+ - Permanent stat increase P-ACTA - Permanent active ability P-PASA - Permanent passive ability T-STAT+ - Temporary stat increase T-ACTA - Temporary active ability T-PASA - Temporary passive ability -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ----------- I - CAN ALL THREE GIRLS HAVE SAME GG EQUIPPED? - G1609 ---------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- YRP can all equip the same GG or different ones, or two can have the same GG and the other a different one. For example, have YRP all equip First Steps, or have Yuna and Paine equip Protection Halo while Rikku has First Steps, or have Yuna equip Protection Halo, Rikku First Steps, and Paine Hour of Need. As long as you have at least one copy of the DSP, you can place it on a GG. For example, in the last setup with YRP each having a different GG equipped, you can have gunner DSP on each of them, or just on Paine's if you want.

GATES? : Info found here will let you know which gates are (red, green, blue present on GG in question. Single GG may have one, and yellow gates) two, three or four gates integrated (note *).

- G17001 ------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Exactly as the name tells. AAB are types of abilities that are put into effect as soon as either of two requirements is met: - equipping acc or GG - passing thru colored gate/s on equipped GG -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -------------- B - WHAT ARE PERMANENT AUTO-ABILITIES? - G17002 -------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Permanent AAB are abilities, that are granted and put into effect as soon as girl equips proper acc/GG. Permanent AAB are classified in three categories: 1. STAT INCREASE - When equipping acc/GG which grants this type of special (P-STA+) effect/s, one or more of girl's stats is permanently increased for as long as acc/GG isn't removed. Examples: DEF+15, MDEF+20, STR+20 2. ACTIVE ABILITY - When equipping acc/GG which grants this type of special (P-ACTA) effect/s, girl gains permanent access to one or more abilities to be used/cast during battle for as long as acc/GG isn't removed. In other words, you as the player will have the option to choose when, how and why you wish to use/cast the ability you've been granted access to. Examples: Mug, Nab Gil, Water 3. PASSIVE ABILITY - When equipping acc/GG which grants this type of special (P-PASA) effect/s, girl gains permanent access to one or more auto-abilities which are then in effect for as long as acc/GG isn't removed (effects of auto-abilities may show on field screen or inside of battle. In other words, you as the player will have no control over such abilities - they will always be in effect regardless of your past or future actions. Examples: Break HP Limit, MP Stroll, HP Stroll -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -------------- C - WHAT ARE TEMPORARY AUTO-ABILITIES? - G17003 -------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Temporary AAB are abilities, that are granted and put into effect as soon as girl passes thru one or more gates on equipped GG. Temporary AAB are classified in three categories: 1. STAT INCREASE - When passing thru the gate which grants this type of (T-STA+) special effect/s, one or more of girl's stats is increased for duration of the battle. Effects can stack. Examples: DEF+15, MDEF+20, STR+20 2. ACTIVE ABILITY - When passing thru the gate which grants this type of (T-ACTA) special effect/s, girl gains one or more abilities to be used/cast for duration of the battle. In other words, you as the player will have the option to choose when, how and why you wish to use/cast the ability you've been granted access to. Examples: Holy, Waterga, Flare, Ultima 3. PASSIVE ABILITY - When passing thru the gate which grants this type of (T-PASA) special effect/s, girl gains one or more auto- abilities which are then in effect until the end of battle. In other words, you as the player will have no control over such abilities - they will always be in effect regardless of your past or future actions. Examples: Auto-Shell, Confusetouch, Holy Eater Use Swordplay abilities, Use Arcana abilities Note: For info on which gates must be passed to gain access to specific passive AAB, please refer to section 16. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------- D - SAMPLE CHART OVERVIEW (will apply to all charts)? - G17004 ------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Ability name | 2. MP? | 3. TRG? | 4. Type? 5. What it does? 6. Add. info? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Explanation: 1. Ability name : name of the AAB 2. MP? : how much MP is needed to execute AAB; in here one of two numbers will appear... 'na' - means that AAB doesn't require MP in order to be cast/used '50' - means that AAB requires certain amount of MP before it is cast/used; amount of MP needed ranges from 2 to 99 3. TRG? (target) : many AAB can be used only on enemies, on girls or both - this part will tell you that piece of info; here are 'marks' I'll be using... '1 G' - AAB can only be used on one of three girls '1 E' - AAB can only be used on one of the enemies '1 ANY' - AAB can be used either on one of three girls or one of the enemies 'SELF' - AAB can only be used on user (ie self), or ability is question is of passive type 'ALL G' - AAB can only be used on your own party 'ALL E' - AAB can only be used on enemy party 'ANY GRP' - AAB can be used either on your own party or enemy party 'none' - AAB doesn't target anything, instead it leads to a submenu with more choices (for example Swordplay ability of gunner) '1 / ALL' - AAB can affect either: 1 girl, all girls, 1 enemy, all enemies 4. Type?* : to what type does AAB belong? 'P-ACTA' - AAB belongs to permanent active type 'T-ACTA' - AAB belongs to temporary active type 'P-PASA' - AAB belongs to permanent passive type 'T-PASA' - AAB belongs to temporary passive type 'P-STAT' - AAB belongs to permanent stat increase type 'T-STAT' - AAB belongs to temporary stat increase type * - Some AAB belong to more than one type. For example, girl can cast Firaga if she equips Crimson Ring - in this case Firaga will be of P-ACTA type. Of course, she can also get access to casting Firaga by passing thru specific colored gates on Heart of Flame GG - in this case Firaga will be of T-ACTA type. Instead of marking down both entries, I'll simply make it like this: Firaga ... blah blah... Type - 'P/T-ACTA' 5. What it does? : detailed explanation of what exactly does AAB do, followed by damage formulas for some of special AAB (if I'll be able to figure it out) 'NON-E' - denotes that mgd is of non-elemental type 'light' - denotes that damage is of lightning type (be it physical or magical) Be advised that if attack carries some POSSE or NEGSE and if target is resistant to those status changes, status change may not occur or will fail. 6. Add. info? : This will cover the rest of info I can't fit anywhere else, these being... - if AAB is white magic or black magic, this sign denotes that such ability can be reflected back to the caster (some magics can't be reflected!) - if AAB is of magical nature, this sign denotes that such ability's effects can be lessened by 50% if target is under shell POSSE

- if AAB is of physical nature, this sign denotes that such ability's effects can be lessened by 50% if target is under protect POSSE - if AAB is of magical nature, this sign denotes that such ability's effects can be increased by raising user's MAG stat or inducing MDEF down NEGSE on target - if AAB is of physical nature, this sign denotes that such ability's effects can be increased by raising user's STR stat or inducing DEF down NEGSE on target - if AAB is of elemental nature, this sign denotes that such ability's effects will be affected by target's element affinities, ie effects can be halved (target is strong VS that element), nulled (target is immune against that element), absorbed (target absorbs that element), or they will do critical damage (target is weak against that element) - if AAB requires charging before it can be used, this mark will denote that fact - AAB is executed immediately, but then requires the girl to enter recovery phase before her next turn is up; this mark will denote that fact <2xRT> - same as class abilities, only difference is that after ability is executed, recovery time before girl's next turn is twice as long - AAB in question can do double (critical) damage If there are no marks found by specific ability, it means that such effect doesn't exist for that ability. For example, it's useless and silly to make mark by Firaga ability. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -------------------- E - ACTIVE AUTO-ABILITIES? - G17005 -------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Note: Some of active AAB are already present on specific DSP, like Curaga on white mage.

Here are few notes to be taken into account: - Charm Bangle acc doesn't work in here (damn) - there's a boss on 20th, 40th, 60th, 80th and 100th floor - once the bosses of those floors are defeated, you gain access to the lift which can transport you to other boss floors you've cleared so far; this is a pretty handy feature in case you wish to fight a particular enemy 10 floors back, but can't be arsed starting going from scratch - on every floor there's a blue insignia marked on the floor which when examined restores HP&MP to all girls, as well as remove any status ailments - same insignia also has the power to teleport you out of the dungeon, where you can save your game (choose top option to use the teleport, or bottom choice to decline) - after you've been to floors 1 and below and you're about to use the master teleporter, you'll be presented with few options: first option will make Yuna start from the top floor again, second option allows Yuna to continue exploring from same floor she left off, and last option cancels the menu - each time you enter same floor number anew, the outside appearance of that particular floor may change - your objective on each floor is to find a hole hidden somewhere that leads to the floor below (often you will have to kill some enemies or complete a simplistic puzzle before the exit is uncovered) - enemies will get progressively harder, ie the lower dungeon floor you're on, harder the opposition you'll be encountering - you can escape from all random encounters, but you cannot escape from boss battles or enemies which you will see wandering around on the floors - not all of wandering enemies are your enemies - sometimes you will receive an item if you address medium sized Tonberry with tiny Tonberry beside it - also, all Elders and Megas can be avoided - you never need to fight any With this, let us begin! On same screen where the scene unwinded, press on further N and you'll find a hole. Jump in it and say hi to 1st floor of this humongous dungeon. As you make your way deeper in the dungeon and if you encounter any Borises, flee from them. I know they're easy, but 20th floor boss is of same species and you wouldn't want it to be oversouled, would you? Once you're on floor 20, do not advance yet! Instead examine the blue insignia just behind you and use it. Save your game, then check master teleporter again and pick middle option. Now advance further... ***************************************************************************** BOSS BATTLE - ARANEA, ARACHNID species --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 18280 | 178 | 4000 | 1 | 800 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH 33394 | 178 | 7500 | 2 | 2500 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, SLOW, STOP, STR down, MAG down, DEF down, MDEF down, ACCU down, EVA down, LUCK down, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- StaminaTonic[2xStaminaTn]| Turbo Ether[2xTurboEthr]| Black Lore [Sword Tome] MythrilBngle[CrystalBngl]| KinesisBdge[2xKinesisBd]| Sword Tome [Sword Tome] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Double swipe'> - VS one chr - phd, 2 hits 2. <'Chew'> - VS one chr - std 3.

[Dual Catalyst] - on self - the longer the battle, the higher the STR&MAG ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY A replica of earlier bosses, huh? It has an attack pattern as well. Prior to battle change all your girls into two thieves (make sure they have Stopproof PASA learned) and white mage. Also equip acc that guard against poison. Or if you're in love with dark knight - she has Poisonproof PASA, so you'll need acc that guard against stop. If you can guard against these two statuses, battle is as good as won. White mage is there only for beginning point of battle, where she will apply protect and shell, and then change back into either thief or dark knight. Attack pattern of boss is: 'double swipe' or 'chew' for four turns, with Gooey End (500 damage to all) always being used on every 5th turn - latter inflicts some magic damage in addition to inducing poison and stop. Please note that damage done by 'chew' (1000 damage to one) cannot be reduced. Count number of turns boss has used - before each of boss' 5th turn make sure you're not creepingly low when it comes to HP - heal in time! Got stopped and poisoned anyway? There's not much you can do until stop wears off - when you have a chance, heal your girls first, then worry about poison. You're advised to waste the boss quickly, for each time you see 'burst', your STR and MAG are reduced by -1 level - difference in damage inflicted shows greatly, believe me. Throw a look at boss status properties - no eject immunity tells you what? Fastest way possible to kill the boss! If you feel lucky, try thief's Steal Will ACTA - it works, but probability of connecting is low. Strategic briefing over! OSF Aranea is a funny fiend to toy around with. Battle begins by Aranea using Dual Catalyst on itself, and then releasing Tempus Laxit. All girls will suffer phd and be put under stop status. Have Dragonfly Orbs or Kinesis Badges to be immune (thief DSP helps too). If girls are affected, nothing you can do about it - just wait fot stop to wear off. Don't take too long in nailing Aranea or both its STR and MAG (thanks to Power Catalyst) will grow at steady rate. It's 'chew' attack inflicts huge damage, which cannot be reduced, but applying protect to reduce 'double swipe' damage is a good idea. Aranea also has access to lv3 element magic, which can be bounced byck by applying reflect (don't worry, it won't get dispeled, as Aranea is too stupid to have been granted Dispel). For the end Aranea also has an ability with which it'll reduce your gil stock by 10000 gil - wave those smooshing gil sayonara. No big deal, though - if lady luck is with you, CONGRATS! Aranea out of your way and you'll gain back more gil you spent. ***************************************************************************** After the battle go few steps back and recover CRIMSON SPHERE 8 *KEY ITEM*. This is the last Crimson Sphere of the game and you should now be in possession of 10 Crimson Spheres, meaning you have access to another optional dungeon!

Of course, if you use one of these cheesy ways to defeat it. - gunner + Tableturner = high damage (use two or three times to defeat it) - samurai + Spare Change + Invincible + millions of gil = up to 99999 damage - lady luck + Bribe + 60000 gil = victory - lady luck + 777 on Random Reels = victory - berserker's Eject, trainer's Carrier Flurry or Kogoro Strike, thief's Steal Will = eject effect (of course, if it connects) - draining all of its MP (three Soul Springs will do it, or two if you use mastered alchemist) - dark knight with 5000+ MAX HP + Charon = 9999 damage That is for RGF - but what about OSF? I consider it easier. No Flare, Berserk, Magic Up and Absorb - instead you'll see lv3 element magic, Full-Cure, Regen and Ultima (of course). Set yourself up for the battle by casting Reflect on both your girls and Element. Doing so ensures you'll be getting Full-Cures and Regens Element would otherwise cast on itself. Also no worries - Element's AI isn't advanced enough to distinguish from who's under reflect - it'll always cast element magic on you and damage itself with it. But there's still fear from Ultima, its most powerful MATK. Having high MDEF and shell may just be enough to survive it - otherwise Magical Masque from songstress ensures no damage taken. Let me address some of common misconceptions players are having. - Ultima cannot be reflected, never has been, never will be - Flare can be reflected, as well as Berserk - fortunately Black Elemental is stupid enough to cast offensive magics on your girls instead of being smart and reflect it off itself (as it has innate Auto-Reflect ability) ***************************************************************************** After you dismantle this easy so-called-ex-boss, you'll find a chest with all sorts of goodies: MOON BRACER ACC, SHINING BRACER ACC, SPEED BRACER ACC, RECOVERY BRACER ACC and CAT NIP ACC.

It roams the areas of Moonflow and you've prolly kicked its ass so hard it kissed the moons, yes? Well, be prepared for same to happen to you, for this is *the* defensive sucker of the game (if I don't count Mr T.). Big DEF and MDEF, and to top it off it also has Auto-Wall properties. Tough cookie indeed. Take note that boss can only attack one girl at a time, meaning that unless you really screw up, you'll always have two girls to be able to act at any given time. For this battle you'll want to have your girls to have high STR in order to penetrate Conch's high defenses. Forget about DEF stat, it isn't needed - Megaton Press does up to 99999 damage on single girl anyway, so why bother? Equipping Rabite's Foot is also an option to consider - girls will inflict critical damage, and have pretty good chances at evading Conch's 'lick' attack. Press will hit regardless of stats, so just take the punishment and use Phoenix Down afterwards to revive fallen girl. All that's left is Gunk - what it does is drain all MP of girl that has been hit as well as adding poison - but a swift Antidote will fix the situation before any serious harm can be done. Still it may take you a lot of time to bust it up. Yet another OSF battle, which is easier IMO in this form. Conch loses Megaton Press and Gunk, and instead gains four new MATK, and another form of PATK (which is used very rarely). Conch usually begins the battle by using Slurp on one of the girls - beside taking mgd it inflicts itchy, but a quick spherechange is all that's needed. Still, if you don't wanna bother, use Remedy or Holy Water. Set up reflect to have Thundaga and Flare (which is also capable of hitting all three girls at once!) bounce back to Conch and damage it instead. Demi's damage can be shrugged off easily by having Gravity Eater (Downtrodder GG). As for RGF, have high STR for OSF as well. Inflicting phd is far more efficient than charging up for MATK - anyway, Conch will take care of damaging itself with mgd, remember? Conch's Thundaga and Flare will hit single girl from start, but will be used against whole team when Conch gets quite low on HP. At this time Conch gains access to Radular Grudge, quite dangerous move - girl hit becomes confused, silenced, darknessed and poisoned (Rikku uses Dark Matter on them girls - nooooo!). Do be aware of this danger and react accordingly before it becomes too late. When OSF Conch is finally KO-ed, there'll be an animation where its shell becomes destroyed, and then Conch itself pyreflies its way into better existence. Worth the effort? You be the judge. You still have problems cracking its hide? Then you may want to consider following cheesy options. - gunner in critical HP + Trigger Happy Lv3 + Cat Nip = 9999 barrage - samurai + Spare Change + Invincible + millions of gil = up to 99999 damage - lady luck + Bribe + 2000000 gil = victory - lady luck + 777 on Random Reels = victory ***************************************************************************** Wooot? No rewards? A crappy Blessed Gem??? Or Crystal Gloves if you were lucky... Them bastards!

[Destroy Soft] - VS one chr - phd, reduces Soft stock by 1 6. [MP Break] - VS one chr - causes MP damage 7. [Destroy Remedy] - VS one chr - phd, reduces Remedy stock by 1 ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY Anyone remember her? I dunno what Square is thinking, but they seem to want to make hot babes to be conquered as hard as possible. Chac is no exception - unless you know what you're doing, you'll be sent to Farplane faster than you can say 'Heaven's Cat'. First and most obvious toughie players have is Stony Glare. It will petrify your girl regardless of what she's wearing. Take note of that, REGARDLESS! So you'll need to have Softs and Remedies handy - counteract immediately, before Chac moves in with 'bash', which will shatter petrified girl. While I'm mentioning 'bash' - Chac possesses high STR stat, so you better have high DEF and Auto-Protect whipped up. And then there's Heaven's Cataract, a sweet attack which really messes you up - aside from dealing big mgd it also lowers 5 attributes by -10 (TEN!) levels. Geez, thanks a lot, how can I survive that? MDEF of 255 and shell reduce the damage from Heaven's Cat to around 1000 damage. Okay, jokes aside, here's the strategy I've pulled together after considering my fighting options. Optimum party is three samurai girls with Dismissal ACTA learned, Ray of Hope GG, Bushido Tome acc and Rabite's Foot acc. What good will this do? For one, Chac's 'bash' will MISS if girl's LUCK stat is high, which is ensured by equipping Ray of Hope GG and Rabite's Foot. And, unlike most other bosses, Chac *isn't* immune to delay effect and action-cancel. Prior to battle turn battle speed in Config menu to medium or slow. So what do you do? Simply enter the battle with three howling samurais and start launching Dismissal on Chac's ass. Thanks to Bushido Tome acc charge time for Dismissal is cut by 40% and you could simply tape down X button and go watch TV or something. It helps if girls are in critical HP with SOS Critical PASA mastered - twice the damage, twice the fun. Of course, there are two slight things that might go wrong. One is that you might run out of MP for casting Dismissal, in which case you'll need to have that girl use Ether or Turbo Ether on herself. And in rare occassion where Chac's 'bash' might connect, to revive fallen girl as soon as you can. Additional hot party to consider is three warriors with Delay Buster ACTA learned, Ray of Hope GG, Sword Tome acc and Rabite's Foot acc. What good will this do? For one, Chac's 'bash' will MISS if girl's LUCK stat is high, which is ensured by equipping Ray of Hope GG and Rabite's Foot. And, unlike most other bosses, Chac *isn't* immune to delay effect and action-cancel. Enter the battle and start using Delay Busters VS Chac - unless her first attack is 'bash', she will never get her attack off cos you'll keep delaying it forever and ever. OSF battle for a change of pace, you say? While this battle is considered easier by some (Chac doesn't use Heaven's Cat), but still Chac will make sure to keep you on your toes. Her Stony Glare still petrifies regardless of protection, and she has the ability to shatter your Softs and Remedies, as well as cause MP damage and poison with her regular PATK. Hunter's Gaze is nothing to be feared of, as it merely denotes that girl targeted will be attacked next turn. Even in OSF, Chac has retained her weakness to delay and action-cancel attacks, which is once again one of highly recommended ways of taking her out. With a bang. Take care of lifting petrification status promptly and you'll have no problems beating her. You still have problems spanking Chac? Then you may want to try these cheesy options. - gunner in critical HP + Trigger Happy Lv3 + Cat Nip = 9999 barrage - samurai + Spare Change + Invincible + millions of gil = up to 99999 damage - lady luck + Bribe + 2000000 gil = victory - lady luck + 777 on Random Reels = victory - berserker's Eject, trainer's Carrier Flurry or Kogoro Strike, thief's Steal Will = eject effect (of course, if it connects) - if Chac is oversouled, she won't be using Heaven's Cat ***************************************************************************** Woohoo, we've won! *checks inventory* Shining Gem? Pixie Dust? Gimme back my money!!! Okay, with her out of the way there's just 20 more floors to go. Again, go save your progress and continue. Beware, from floor 81 onward you'll be meeting Aranea, Black Elemental, Concherer and Chac as regular enemies, with Elder Drake as an added bonus. Remaining fiends worth mentioning - Lacerta, Mushroom Cloud, Insect Matriarch and Critical Bug are also to be met on these floors. Aranea, Black, Mushroom Cloud and perhaps Elder can be dispatched easy, but Conchy and Chac ain't worth time lost, so just escape from them. Floor 100, here we come!

['Copycat move'] - Paragon responds to following attacks by using the move you used against it unless specified otherwise - any black magic; uses Demi as counter to any white magic except Holy and Dispel; all Arcanas except Black Sky; Supernova and MP Absorb ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BOSS STRATEGY Maybe it's just me, but it seems to me that Paragon and Mr T. combo has been souped up way too much to be taken on with regular attacks. Not counting Paragon, who's class of its own, Mr T. packs 255 stats in STR, MAG, DEF and MDEF. Hell, my dark knight with 255 STR and 241 LUCK hit Mr T. for measly 500 damage. I suggest meeting following requirements before taking on Paragon. - Make sure you oversoul Paragon! This is important! Look why - regular Paragon is able to connect with all of his physical attacks. If Paragon is oversouled, his physical attacks will MISS. Which is funny, since its ACC is higher in oversoul state. Anyway, causing it to oversoul should be quite easy. Just fight Omega Weapon on Farplane and kill ten of them before one oversouls. Now run away and Paragon is all set for oversouling. - Girls all Lv99. - Party was two dark knights with Darkness and mastered alchemist. - Garment Grid Valiant Lustre (in right slot insert Berserker, in top slot Warrior, in left slot Dark Knight, in bottom slot Alchemist - you'll see why later). - Dark knights were equipped with Defense Bracer (or Shining Bracer) and Rabite's Foot (rare drop from Jumbo Cactuar). Why? Once you drain Mr T.'s MP, all that he has left are physical attacks - three of them hit targets regardless of EVA and LUCK. Mr T. has three other punching attacks - one drains MP, one induces stop and one poisons. This is where Rabite's Foot comes in - it helps you AVOID all of latter three attacks I mentioned. - Alchemist was equipped with Adamantite and Rabite's Foot. - Items I've used were: Soul Spring (Bribe Wight or Lich), Stamina Tonic, 99 Mega-Potions and 99 Megalixirs (Bribe Earth Worm) after being struck with Meteor Now that you're set, go to Config and change ATB speed to medium or slow, and Spherechange to 'short'. Engage! This battle will be played by a bit of real-life luck. If Paragon manages to pull off Big Bang, reset and reload. Your objective is to defeat Paragon before it uses Big Bang - even at maximum MDEF this attack causes around 25000 damage. As battle starts, have one girl toss Star Curtain. Now pay attention. Paragon doesn't attack at all as battle starts, but will counter any physical attacks when attacked. MAKE SURE ALL THREE GIRLS ATTACK AT THE SAME TIME! Doing so will give you chain effect, increasing the damage for second and third hit. DO NOT ATTACK PARAGON WHILE IT'S IN THE ATTACK MOTION, as chain effects aren't registered. After reducing Paragon's HP by 75%, it'll Dispel reflect you have on - now be careful! Immediately toss Star Curtain again to force it to cast Dispel again - other two girls always keep attacking! Paragon will either Dispel your reflect or cast one of Lv3 element magics for about four or five of its turns, and will then release either Genesis or Final Impact. If Genesis was used, too bad. Retry. If Final Impact was used, all is not lost yet. Chances are high all girls are still operational - use Megalixir FIRST, while other two girls keep attacking. If Paragon falls now, Megalixir is still used at end of battle thanks to a funny glitch. You still have problems nailing Paragon? Then you may want to try these cheesy options. - gunner in critical HP + Trigger Happy Lv3 + Cat Nip = 9999 barrage - samurai + Spare Change + Invincible + millions of gil = up to 99999 damage - lady luck + Bribe + 1000000 gil = victory - lady luck + 777 on Random Reels = victory - if Paragon is oversouled, and your LUCK is so-so, most of its physicals won't connect Did you know that after wasting Mr T., which comes immediately after Paragon, you can fight the latter as much as you want? Simply revisit floor 100, and approach the Tonberry in the back and examine it. Paragon will now fight you. Here's some more tips and tricks you can use against it: - if you're fighting regular Paragon, *never* use any attacks on it which cannot be reduced by shell or protect - some example are Darkness, Absorb or 1000 Needles; if you do that anyway, it will counter by launching Big Bang - RGF Paragon doesn't have much of a variety of attacks as it does were you to duel it in OSF - nonetheless, you shouldn't underestimate it; Genesis will annoy you by removing temporary POSSE you've set up, while its 'punch' takes care of the suspension... will it be poison, itchy or confusion status? Better yet, will Paragon drain girls' HP and add it to own HP? You better hope latter doesn't happen, in which case it may recover up to 9999 HP - having DEF and MDEF near the peak is almost a must in this duel ***************************************************************************** Sorry, no time for saving.

Now one dark knight uses Stamina Tonic, other dark knight uses Megalixir and alchemist uses Soul Spring on Mr T. Woosh - all his MP are gone. No more Demi, Flare and Ultima (Ultima becomes available to Mr T. after he loses 75% of HP, but he'll cast it only once). Now it's just the matter of dark knights using Darkness (it will take off about 5000 HP of Mr T.'s health) and alchemist tossing Mega-Potions or Megalixirs, whatever is needed more. For all it's worth, you can simply tape down X button and go watch a movie. As far as Mr T.'s physicals go, he will always chain Dying Star, Falling Leaf and Thundering Wave together. He may use all three attacks against same girl, or use first part of the chain against Yuna, second against Paine and third against Rikku. As I advised before, high LUCK you have cos of Rabite's Foot will keep Moon, Mire and Mist at bay. Last worry you prolly have is Mr T.'s Meteor? Well, I'm here to tell you *exactly* when to expect it to strike! It will be used twice throughout the battle - first time after Mr T. loses 50% HP, and second time after Mr T. loses 75% of HP. Meteor is PHYSICAL ATTACK, and damage it does can be reduced with Protect, which is already set in place with Defense Bracer - what's more, it can be reduced to laughable 1 HP per hit by warrior's Sentinel. To make sure you're not wiped out, ALWAYS KEEP GIRLS' HP ABOVE 75%, which shouldn't be a problem with your alchemist. What is bad about my strategy is that it takes a long time - battle lasted around 30 minutes using these setup. The good part is that you don't need to ever worry about dying. Following attacks are very recommended to be used against Trema: gunner's Tableturner or Cheap Shot, samurai's Sparkler or Fireworks, gun mage's Annihilator or Mortar, mascot's Cactling Gun or Moogle Beam - all of these attacks ignore DEF or MDEF, or deal higher damage to enemies with big DEF. ***************************************************************************** After this grueling battle is won, you nab IRON DUKE ACC, the best in the game. With this you've conquered and mastered Via Infinito. Also, Paragon can now be fought infinitely on floor 100. Simply go to that floor and check the far north end of the room. Examine Tonberry standing there and fight to your heart's content. ============================================================================= ============================================================================= 19.) MINIGAMES - G1900 ============================================================================= ============================================================================= What you see below are all minigames I will cover. I will not cover the basics on how to play Sphere Break or blitzball. Too much stuff to take into account, and I certainly don't wanna do blitzball again (not after doing it for FFX). Anyway, FFX-2 game itself has a pretty extensive tutorials on how to play both of the two aforementioned minigames. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- GUNNER'S GAUNTLET RULES AND REGULATIONS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- AVAILABLE?: Besaid, CH2, CH3, CH5 START? : Talk to Beclem on 'B - village slope', or address one of Aurochs, if playing in CH5 OBJECTIVE?: Make it to the beach within alloted time limit and score higher than Beclem's record to win the prize ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Left stick - move Yuna Circle - lock on nearest target X - fire gun Square - change between current target and last fiend targeted R1, L1 - scroll thru different types of available ammo Triangle - upgrades selected ammo As you wander from 'B - village slope' to 'B - beach', you'll encounter fiends. Notice Yuna's HP in upper right corner - each time fiend manages to take a bite off Yuna, her HP will decrease. If it's reduced to zero, current session of Gunner's Gauntlet is over. Press Circle to lock onto nearest target (if target is out of range, you may need to get closer in order to get a lock on it). Target's HP will be displayed to the right. Press X to fire onto locked target. Rounds fired will *always* connect. However, you may need time to reload every now and then. Keep firing until fiend's HP is reduced to zero. Don't forget to regularly check up on your ammo count, which is displayed just below Yuna's HP - you don't wanna run out of it. Luckily defeated fiends drop behind chests which contain extra ammo for Yuna to take. So always make sure to pick up chests after killing your target. In case you encounter more fiends together (let's say two), pressing Circle will lock onto nearest one (let's call it fiend A). Be careful - if fiend B tries to attack Yuna, you won't be able to defend against fiend B for as long as you're locked onto the fiend A. You will need to press Circle quickly - doing so will shift lock on onto fiend B, since it is closer than fiend A. Sometimes you will find special types of ammo in chests, Dual Shot being first one you'll come across. Box displaying amount of Dual Shot ammo will appear beneath regular ammo box. Press Circle to lock on two closest targets. Select Dual Shot ammo using L1 or R1 button. Now you can fire at both targets at once with X. In case one of two fiends falls sooner, it's a waste to keep shooting with Dual Shot ammo, so remember to switch back to regular ammo. Death ammo is second most potent ammo with the ability to kill target fiend with a single shot. Death ammo box appears below Dual Shot ammo box. Press Circle to select a target and then X to gun it down. Once you've acquired multiple types of ammo, use L1 and R1 to choose the most effective one. Volley ammo is the most powerful ammo you can find. It has the ability to kill all on-screen enemies at once. Volley ammo box appears below Death ammo box. Just select Volley ammo and press X for some major ownage. Once you reach Lv6 challenge of Gunner's Gauntlet, you will have the ability of getting upgrades by defeating certain fiends. The number of upgrades you have is shown in blue to the left of your ammo counter. Select an ammo and press Triangle to convert two rounds of that ammo to one round of the next grade of ammo. Once you reach Lv7 challenge of Gunner's Gauntlet, you will have the ability of getting Quick Shot item from defeated fiends. Quick Shot enables rapid-fire attacks for a short periods of time. An additional bar showing time remaining will appear below Chain gauge. As you topple fiends, a Chain Gauge at the bottom of the screen gradually fills. Reaching set locations on the gauge greatly increases the number of points you receive for killing fiends. When gauge reads 'Chain 1', you receive fixed amount of points for each defeated fiend. When it reads 'Chain 2', you receive double amount of points. When it reads 'Chain 3', amount of points awarded is tripled! That's your chance to score big. Be warned: the gauge resets if you're hit. Each hit also causes points to be decreased by one. Now I'll take care of filling you in on how many difficulty levels there are, what is the score needed to advance to next level and what are the rewards. LEVEL | SCORE | REWARD | LEVEL | SCORE | REWARD ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lv1 | 500 | Enigma Plate GG | Lv2 | 750 | Power Wrist Lv3 | 900 | Silver Bracer | Lv4 | 1000 | Titanium Bangle Lv5 | 1150 | Mortal Coil GG | Lv6 | 1300 | Beaded Brooch Lv7 | 1400 | Diamond Gloves | Lv8 | 2000 | Faerie Earrings Lv9 | 2800 | Adamantite | LvMAX | - | nothing Now how about revealing what you can find in chests left behind? ITEM | DESCRIPTION ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ammo | Each shot deals 1 HP of damage to target fiend. Dual Shot | Can shoot at two fiends at once. Deals 1 HP of damage as well. Death | Instakills one target enemy. Volley | Instakills all onscreen enemies. Upgrade | Upgrade is shown in blue to the left of your ammo count. Select | an ammo and press Triangle to convert two rounds of that ammo | to one round of the next grade of ammo. 2x Ammo turns into 1x | Dual Shot, 2x Dual Shot turns into 1x Death, and 2x Death turns | into 1x Volley. HP recovery | This item recovers anywhere from 15 to 19 HP of Yuna's health. Quick Shot | Allows faster shooting rate until Quick Shot gauge runs out. And finally, lowdown on all the fiends you can encounter. FIEND column is name of the fiend, HP column will show you amount of HP fiend has, PTS column shows amount of points awarded when enemy is killed, APPEARS column will inform you on which level of this minigame fiend starts to appear, and ITEM column will show you what type of item does the fiend drop when killed.

Notice Yuna's HP in upper right corner - each time fiend manages to take a bite off Yuna, her HP will decrease. If it's reduced to zero, current session of Gunner's Gauntlet is over. Press Circle to lock onto nearest target (if target is out of range, you may need to get closer in order to get a lock on it). Target's HP will be displayed to the right. Press X to fire onto locked target. Rounds fired will *always* connect. However, you may need time to reload every now and then. Keep firing until fiend's HP is reduced to zero. Don't forget to regularly check up on your ammo count, which is displayed just below Yuna's HP - you don't wanna run out of it. Luckily defeated fiends drop behind extra ammo, which is automatically added to Yuna's ammo counters. In case you encounter more fiends together (let's say two), pressing Circle will lock onto nearest one (let's call it fiend A). Be careful - if fiend B tries to attack Yuna, you won't be able to defend against fiend B for as long as you're locked onto the fiend A. You will need to press Circle quickly - doing so will shift lock on onto fiend B, since it is closer than fiend A. Dual Shot is the first special ammo type you'll come across. Box displaying amount of Dual Shot ammo will appear beneath regular ammo box. Press Circle to lock on two closest targets. Select Dual Shot ammo using L1 or R1 button. Now you can fire at both targets at once with X. In case one of two fiends falls sooner, it's a waste to keep shooting with Dual Shot ammo, so remember to switch back to regular ammo.

Press Circle to select a target and then X to gun it down. Once you've acquired multiple types of ammo, use L1 and R1 to choose the most effective one. Volley ammo is the most powerful ammo you can find. It has the ability to kill all on-screen enemies at once. Volley ammo box appears below Death ammo box. Just select Volley ammo and press X for some major ownage. Upgrades you get from certain killed fiends allows you to upgrade your lower ammo class into higher ammo class. The number of upgrades you have is shown in blue to the left of your ammo counter. Select an ammo and press Triangle to convert two rounds of that ammo to one round of the next grade of ammo. Quick Shot item from certain defeated fiends enables rapid-fire attacks for a short periods of time. An additional bar showing time remaining will appear below Chain gauge. As you topple fiends, a Chain Gauge at the bottom of the screen gradually fills. Reaching set locations on the gauge greatly increases the number of points you receive for killing fiends.

When it reads 'Chain 3', amount of points awarded is tripled! That's your chance to score big. Be warned: the gauge resets if you're hit. How about revealing what you can receive from killed fiends? ITEM | DESCRIPTION ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ammo | Each shot deals 1 HP of damage to target fiend. Dual Shot | Can shoot at two fiends at once.

FIEND | HP | PTS | ITEM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coyote | 5 | 3 | 17x-21x Ammo Haunt | 13 | 10 | 10x-14x Dual Shot Death Dauber | 3-5 | 4 | nothing Creeper | 1 | 2 | 1x-4x Ammo Ahriman | 7 | 15 | Quick Shot Tomb | 80 | 20 | 1x-2x Death Flan Azul | 4 | 2 | 2x-3x HP recovery Tonberry | 15 | 20 | 30x-99x Ammo Mega Tonberry | 20 | 30 | nothing Here's a short recap of how to navigate this minigame (sent by Vincent V.): - Start: 1x Coyote - Downstairs: 1x Coyote - Moving along until stop, look left and you see a Haunt, kill it for Duals - Continue on, you must look up left (D-pad press top left) to see a Death Dauber, kill it, get an upgrade - hope for a Dual Shot upgrade to get Death - Along the way there will be many Creepers - just keep pressing Circle and X rapidly and they will be dead - Next would be Ahriman and Tomb, but ignore Tomb you can't target it for now, just blast Ahriman away and you will face front with Tomb - This is the crucial part - You will not be moving BUT you can turn to 4 directions -> Front - Tomb and occassional Flan -> Right - treasure room, Death Dauber randomly appears -> Back - Coyotes, they come rather fast, and sometimes in pairs -> Left - Haunt, not to worry it's too far. - Generally, Tomb does NOT attack... but with a health of 80 it is there just to block the path, the time given is 12 mins but the actual journey is less than 5 mins. You must always look around to make sure no enemies are attacking you. I realise most damage comes from Coyotes, they come in pairs and the Death Dauber which is quite camouflaged. Haunt comes from very far so you will have enough time to kill it. - If you're lucky to get a Death Shot (2x Dual Shot -> 1x Death Shot) from the earlier Death Dauber, we'll use it to kill the Tomb and continue to the Tonberry hall later on. - Generally, when you are fighting Tomb, constantly look behind and left to make sure there are no fiends attacking you, anyway u need around 200+ Ammo to kill all those Tonberries. Take note it is NOT Tomb attackin it's the other fiends. - I recommend wasting the fiends until you get a volley shot, (2x Death Shot -> 1x Volley), and some health from Flan. - On to the Tonberry slaughter, basically its down to skills now. - Here's a guide, aim the NEAREST TONBERRY, contantly pressing Circle will aim the nearest and once you give it 6 normal shots, immediately press Square and shoot the next nearest Tonberry, doing this 3 times will kill two nearest Tonberries. - What if there are three? Use the Dual Shot, shoot 6 shots to two nearest Tonberries fast, third one will overtake the other two being shot, now press Circle and shoot third Tonberry six times with normal Ammo, now press Circle again and the other two will come again. Use Dual Shot again, this time their HP left would be 3 HP and the third one with 9 HP, depending on how near they are. If they're still aprox half screen away just blast the third one with normal shots and auto-lock on the other two will simply kill them. - Note when targeting another fiend will immediately allow you to shoot without cooldown time. - What about the Ahriman in the screen? If you have a chance, kill it, it gives it Quick Shot. Great advantage to killing Tonberries. - Once you are able to handle them Tonberries, the screen will move forward - ups the difficulty. After slaugthering more karma hunters screen will move again, only this is the last time. You will be so close to the Tonberry spawn point that you can't kill them fast enough. - Notice that there is another mystery target! If you can't take them on now, use Volley and then AIM the mystery target - this is the GOAL. - Shoot it, door will open and you win! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THUNDER PLAINS TOWER CALIBRATION RULES AND REGULATIONS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- AVAILABLE?: Thunder p., CH2, CH3 START? : Talk to kneeling Al Bhed near S most tower in 'TP - south' OBJECTIVE?: Calibrate at least five towers to receive Samurai's Honor GG ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- In short, you must complete the sequence 30 times, and are allowed to mess up 3 times. Take too long to enter commands and it counts as a mess up. Towers are marked by green squares on the minimap - examine them by pressing X and complete the sequence. Button sequences and display patterns vary from tower to tower. TOWER | WHO | WHAT TO DO | AVAILABLE COMMANDS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | Rikku | press buttons displayed | X, Circle, Triangle, Square 2 | Paine | watch falling buttons, | X, Circle, Triangle, Square | | whichever flashes, must | directionals | | be entered | 3 | Yuna | memorize the pattern, | X, Circle, Triangle, Square | | then when prompted press| | | same buttons | 4 | Rikku | press buttons displayed | X, Circle, Triangle, Square | | | directionals 5 | Paine | watch falling buttons, | X, Circle, Triangle, Square, L1 | | whichever flashes, must | R1, directionals | | be entered | 6 | Yuna | memorize the pattern, | X, Circle, Triangle, Square | | then when prompted press| directionals | | same buttons | 7 | Rikku | press *BOTH* buttons | X, Circle, Triangle, Square, L1 | | displayed simultaneously| R1, directionals 8 | Paine | watch falling buttons, | X, Circle, Triangle, Square, L1 | | whichever flashes, must | R1, directionals | | be entered | 9 | Yuna | memorize the pattern, | X, Circle, Triangle, Square, L1 | | then when prompted press| R1, directionals | | same buttons | 10* | Yuna | memorize the pattern, | X, Circle, Triangle, Square, L1 | | then when prompted press| L2, R1, R2, directionals | | same buttons in REVERSE | | | order | * - Tower 10 is located to the W of tower 8. Walk as far left as you can and keep mashing X. Rikku's towers will prompt you to input commands faster as the amount of successful hits racks up. As you score hits in Paine's towers, her button sequences will start falling faster and may feature additional commands you will need to be paying attention to. Finally, Yuna's towers - more hits you have, faster the button string will be appearing and less time you'll be given to input the string (of course, expect to see more buttons to be pressed; if that's still not enough, amount of different buttons increases too). Contributor wizardzen comments: Actually I have quite a easy way to calibrate the 10th tower. For 10th tower just keep on using your mind power till around 21st hit (the last 4 blocks). Then for the next 5 blocks, most likely you may miss but never mind that if you still have misses to spare. The trick will be to take out a piece of paper and write the buttons down in reverse order, then press the correct buttons while looking at the paper. It is definitely possible as the game slows down in the end. All in all, one of the reasons for this minigame is to score Samurai's Honor GG in CH2 or CH3. Easiest way to obtain it is to calibrate towers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 by entering 30 commands successfully - you must also attempt the remaining five towers at least once. Then go to 'TP - agency', talk to male Al Bhed inside and GG is yours. Also, amount of successful calibrations will dictate the awards you get in CH5 - for example, should you succeed in entering 30 commands for 10th tower, you'd get Ribbon acc in CH5 from that tower. All in all, this minigame isn't worthy of your time in my opinion. Any of the prizes can be scored in other, easier ways. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- EVERYTHING'S COMING UP CACTUARS RULES AND REGULATIONS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- AVAILABLE?: Spira, CH3, CH5 START? : Visit Cactuar Nation in CH3 or CH5 in Bikanel; select [That made perfect sense!] OBJECTIVE?: Each time you find a Cactuar, shoot it down! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- X - fire gun R1 - evade Cactuar's counterattacks Be the first to witness the power the Gatekeeper acquired during his travels. He's teamed up with his newfound friends, and they're coming right for you! Conserve your ammo, time your shots carefully, and show that prickly punk how it's done! Once the game starts, your screen will split in two parts - the left half will keep switching between target Cactuar and two sidekicks (higher Cactuar's AGL is, faster the screen will switch), while Yuna occupies the right half. Your task is to anticipate when the Cactuar will appear in left half and pull the trigger by pressing X. If you are lucky enough to capture Cactuar offguard, you will score a hit and reduce Cactuar's HP by one. Now you can either keep shooting and hoping that more hits will connect, or give up and wait for next opportunity. Be careful, for sometimes Cactuar will retaliate by shooting needles at you. Be prepared for these events and make use of that R1 button. If needling connects, you lose ammo equal to Cactuar's STR. Your cact-war game will end if you run out of bullets, either by getting needled too much or shooting off one time too many. CACTUAR NUMERO 01: Lobivia, HP 10, STR 3, AGL 2 CACTUAR NUMERO 02: Toumeya, HP 10, STR 3, AGL 3 CACTUAR NUMERO 03: Lobeira, HP 12, STR 7, AGL 2 CACTUAR NUMERO 04: Areq, HP 16, STR 6, AGL 4 CACTUAR NUMERO 05: Arroja (appears together with Areq) CACTUAR NUMERO 06: Islaya, HP 12, STR 6, AGL 5 CACTUAR NUMERO 07: Chiapa, HP 9, STR 6, AGL 4 CACTUAR NUMERO 08: Erio, HP 15, STR 8, AGL 4 CACTUAR NUMERO 09: Bartschella, HP 12, STR 8, AGL 5 CACTUAR NUMERO 1O: Frailea HP 10, STR 6, AGL 3 After each cact-war you're given an evaluation of your performance. Score awarded is based on following factors: win bonus, remaining ammo bonus, dodge penalty, needle penalty and miss penalty. Your high score will be assessed and displayed when all bonuses and penalties are deducted. So, what really is main objective to this minigame? It must be completed to be able to face Angra Mainyu in mortal battle in CH5. Additionally, should you manage to conquer Frailea in cact-war, you receive Covenant of Growth GG (once you defeat Angra, you can go back to Cactuar Nation - you'll see all 10 Cactuars standing in a circle; seek out Frailea and challenge it again, if you missed getting GG first time around). ============================================================================= ============================================================================= 20.)

NAME ENTRY This will contain fiend's name, and info on which species it belongs to. 2. STATISTICS ENTRY* HP - Amount of HP fiend has. When it's depleted to 0 (zero), fiend is defeated and disappears from battlefield. MP - Amount of MP fiend has. When it's depleted to 0 (zero), fiend can no longer use attacks, which require MP. If fiend is oversouled, it has innate Spellspring status, meaning it can use MP-consuming abilities even if fiend's MP is zero. EXP - Amount of EXP fiend drops when defeated. AP - Amount of AP fiend drops when defeated. GIL - Amount of gil fiend drops when defeated. FIR - Fiend's fire affinities. It can be WKN (fiend takes double damage from fire attacks), NTH (normal damage), HLV (damage is halved), IMM (fiend takes no damage from fire attacks), ABS (fire damage is converted into HP recovery). ICE - Fiend's ice affinities. For more info see FIR sub-entry. LIG - Fiend's lightning affinities. For more info see FIR sub-entry. WAT - Fiend's water affinities. For more info see FIR sub-entry. GRA - Fiend's gravity affinities. For more info see FIR sub-entry. HOL - Fiend's holy affinities. For more info see FIR sub-entry. * note - Second line of statistics apply to fiend's oversouled form. 3. STATUS IMMUNITY ENTRY Here I will list all statuses fiend is immune to. Statuses marked in [] parenthesis are statuses fiend is immune to when in oversouled form. NOTE: Most fiends also sport resistance to some statuses. Let's say Test Subject here would have 50% resistance to KO - this means that you have 50% chance of successfully inducing KO when attacking with such skills. However, as this information is not available thru Scan screen, I won't put it down. ALL fiends have resistance to Zantetsuken status, which can only be induced by samurai's Zantetsu MCWc. Also, Zantetsuken =/= KO! They are two different statuses. Finally, ALL fiends are immune to Auto-Life status. 4. DROP, STEAL, BRIBE ENTRY Contains information on which items you can obtain by: DROP, OS-DROP - info on items gained from the fiend after battle; items in [] parenthesis can be gained from oversouled fiend STEAL, OS-STEAL - info on items stolen from the fiend during battle; items in [] parenthesis can be stolen from oversouled fiend BRIBE, OS-BRIBE - info on items bribed from the fiend during battle; items in [] parenthesis can be bribed from oversouled fiend; amount of bribed items varies greatly and is based on amount of gil you used for Bribe - therefore only name of item will be noted, NOT the amount First line of items listed is common drop/steal/bribe, ie items you'll get most of the time. Second line of items listed is rare drop/steal/bribe, ie items you're less likely to receive. 5. ATTACKS ENTRY Information on fiend's attacks it has to offer. Listed will be information on what is the type of the attack used, who it targets and much more. Attack name - attacks used by fiend in regular form only - attacks used by fiend in both regular and oversouled form [Attack name] - attacks used by fiend in oversouled form only 'Attack name' - attacks used by fiend, but are given no name, so I made it 6.

I believe I've done a pretty good job. Still, there are few things you may get confused at, so allow me to assist you in explaining how to read the chart. Let's get to it! 1. NAME ENTRY Nothing too scary here, right? Just the name and species it belongs to. 2. STATISTICS ENTRY Okay, you see two lines of stats? First applies to fiend's regular form, while second applies to oversouled form. Usually the enemy is harder to defeat in oversouled form, but it's not always so. Anyway... First line - fiend has 100000 HP and 170 MP, and drops 6000 EXP, 1 AP and 1200 gil when defeated. As for elemental affinities, nothing interesting except its immunity to gravity. Second line - now you'll see some major changes - fiend has 200000 HP and 340 MP, and drops 9000 EXP, 2 AP and 2400 gil when defeated. As for elemental affinities, they have changed too. It is no longer immune to gravity, instead it absorbs fire and ice. 3. STATUS IMMUNITY ENTRY Listed here are many statuses fiend is immune to. To name a few: sleep, silence, slow, stop, curse... But what's that - [DOOM]? If doom status will be boxed in like this, it means that fiend is susceptible to doom while in regular form, but IMMUNE to doom if it's oversouled. Same thing applies for delay-effect and action-cancel statuses in this example. Statuses boxed in <> are POSSE always present on the fiend, like Black Elemental's Auto-Reflect, for example. 4. DROP, STEAL, BRIBE ENTRY Fiend drops Blessed Gem as common item, and Crystal Gloves as rare item. If oversouled, common drop is Crystal Gloves, and rare Fire Gem. You can commonly steal Ether, or rarely 2x Ether. If oversouled, fiend has nothing to be stolen. You can commonly bribe for White Lore acc, or rarely for Bushido Tome acc. If oversouled, both common & rare bribe yield Bushido Tome acc! Got the hang of it? Good! Also note that fiends which cannot be oversouled will not have OS part sub-entries. 5. ATTACKS ENTRY Of three attacks fiend is capable of using... <'Bash'> - this one is used in both regular and oversoul form Thunder - used in regular form only [Infinity Ray] - used in oversoul form only 6.

Nagging cos you can't find item you're searching for in fiend entry? Short name given should clue you in enough to figure out with ease what's that Chocobo Fthr or Faerie Earns you're looking for. 3. Nothing else to add, except have fun killing anything that comes your way. 4. Fiends that are NOT mentioned here (Cactuar for example) can be found in the walkthru part of the document, because they are encountered as the part of some other major boss battle. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------ E - FIENDS, FIENDS, FIENDS ------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ***************************************************************************** ACULEATE, WASP species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 776 | 27 | 177 | 1 | 72 | NTH | WKN | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH 1840 | 27 | 220 | 2 | 72 | NTH | WKN | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- [CON], [BER], CUR, STOP, [STR down] DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Echo Screen [4xPoisonFng]| 2xEchoScren[StarPendant]| StarPendant[StarPendant] Remedy [6xPoisonFng]| 4xPoisonFng[StarPendant]| StarPendant[StarPendant] ---------------------------------- ATTACKS ---------------------------------- 1.

Also count in Sleep Needle and you have one annoyance victor - being guarded against sleep and itchy is a good choice, as is simply having high EVA or getting Aculeate to suffer from darkness. If you wanna have a laugh, confuse it and see what happens when fiends get inflicted with itchy. They won't be able to move at all. Fear the power of spherechange! OSF Aculeate is easier - Sharpened Needle attack doesn't carry any negative statuses, but it grows progressively stronger each time Aculeate manages to land a successful hit. Again high EVA or darkness on Aculeate help rectify the situation. Both RGF and OSF are susceptible to many NEGSE, so be sure to exploit them to their fullest advantage. ***************************************************************************** ADAMANTOISE, ADAMANT species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 7850 | 210 | 1500 | 1 | 650 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH 8243 | 210 | 2800 | 2 | 1500 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, CON, CUR, SLOW, STOP, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- 4x Hi-Potion[Black Belt] | X-Potion [MysteryVeil]| X-Potion [DefenseBrcr] X-Potion [Black Belt] | MuscleBelt [MysteryVeil]| X-Potion [DefenseBrcr] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Bash'> - VS one chr - phd 2. - FRATT VS all chrs - fractional std, tears off 93,75% current HP 3.

I recommend using attacks that ignore target's stats, such as 1000 Needles, Darkness or Storm Cannon. Gunner's Tableturner is also a good choice. OSF is a real nightmare. Ability to pull off Tremor or Gorgon anytime makes it super dangerous. Constant healing will be required if you want to survive the battle.

Emblem of Thanatos is its biggest threat - used on every 10th turn, it reduces HP of girls by 62,5% of MAX HP and lessens six attributes! On top of it you can't reduce it in any way.

Entering battles against reptiles is recommended with Star Pendants equipped - or reducing the chances of attack connecting by inflicting darkness and sleep on Agama, not to mention there's a slew of other statuses you can help yourself with. Superior EVA is also recommended. In OSF form Agama loses Poison Fang, but its 'bite' gains the bonus of adding silence on girl attacked. As PATK are almost always superior in dealing damage than MATK, you can ignore this status. In addition, whatever damage you inflicted so far, will be returned to the girl attacked with Desperate Strike. In this case, maximum damage you can expect to receive is 2124 damage (back attack bonus, critical bonus). So if you wanna live, have all three gals concentrate their attacks at Agama in one swift combo. There's no way it can possibly survive that. Or in more proffesional way - stone it.

You have an extremely hard task at hand here. Pay attention which element magic is used - it means that boss absorbs that element and is weak to its opposing element. So if Fira is used, Gel absorbs fire magic, but is weak to ice. Get it? If bastard takes HP or MP damage in RGF, it will use Barrier Shift, which will change its elemental affinities. Shift can be used even without you ever attacking it - it does so to make sure you're always on your toes. What makes gel even more dangerous is its 'bash', which reduces HP of hit girl to 1. OSF - 'bash' properties are retained, but Barrier Shift is lost. Gel will, each time it takes HP or MP damage, change one of element attributes - either it will become immune to one or will disable already activated immunity. ***************************************************************************** ANOLE, REPTILE species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 734 | 33 | 105 | 1 | 70 | NTH | WKN | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH 2736 | 43 | 138 | 2 | 100 | NTH | WKN | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- POI, [CON], [BER], CUR DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Hi-Potion [3xDispelTnc]| Hi-Potion [4xDispelTnc]| DispelTonic[ChocoboWing] Pretty Orb [3xDispelTnc]| DispelTonic[6xDispelTnc]| DispelTonic[ChocoboWing] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Bite'> - VS one chr - phd, induces poison (OSF) and slow (OSF) 2.

Entering battles against reptiles is recommended with Star Pendants equipped - or reducing the chances of attack connecting by inflicting darkness and sleep on Anole, not to mention there's a slew of other statuses you can help yourself with. Superior EVA is also recommended. Anole almost exclusively uses Poison Fang only - it's a rare treat to see it use regular 'bite'. In OSF form Anole loses Poison Fang, but its 'bite' gains the bonus of adding poison and slow on girl attacked. In addition, whatever damage you inflicted so far, will be returned to the girl attacked with Desperate Strike. In this case, maximum damage you can expect to receive is 10940 damage (back attack bonus, critical bonus). So if you wanna live, have all three gals concentrate their attacks at Anole in one swift combo. There's no way it can possibly survive that. Or in more proffesional way - stone it.

Mind Pecker - VS one chr - std, inflicts MP damage :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: RGF battle is still a piece of cake - like Peregrine, Aquila can cause MP damage with Mind Pecker as well. Its EVA is superb, making it hard to connect for physical attacks - in this case you may want to consider using magic instead? Aquila has no fixed attack pattern. In OSF battle Aquila loses Mind Pecker, but gains Wild and Muddle Wings, moves which carry two of most annoying statuses - berserk and confusion. If you get confused, hit the girl ASAP. You do *not* want her to accidentally use say Dark Matter against your team. Berserked girl will at least try to attack right target. As Aquila's EVA is even greater in this state, option to use magic is even more alluring. Both RGF and OSF have absolutely no status immunity, so lots of status changes can be abused, mainly darkness and sleep. ***************************************************************************** ARAST, IMP species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 2742 | 650 | 880 | 1 | 330 | WKN | IMM | IMM | IMM | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- SIL, CON, BER, CUR, SLOW, STOP, MAG down, DOOM, ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- 2x Holy Water | 2x Dispel Tonic | Turbo Ether 3x Holy Water | 3x Dispel Tonic | Turbo Ether ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Stone Fang - VS one chr - phd, induces petrify :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Be on your toes! Archaethyris (what's with the name?) has Poison Fang, true, but it also has Stone Fang, which petrifies girl hit. You do NOT want to be a girl short of success - do you have Gold Anklets or Stoneproof ability (dark knight has it)? Ideally, also have Star Pendants handy. Reducing the chances of attack connecting by inflicting darkness and sleep on Arch is yet another way to conquering this bozo, and superior EVA is also recommended. Arch almost exclusively uses Stone Fang only - it's a rare treat to see it use regular 'bite' or Poison Fang. In OSF form Arch loses both Fang attacks, but its 'bite' gains the bonus of adding darkness on girl attacked - thus making OSF battle much easier than RGF. In addition, whatever damage you inflicted so far, will be returned to the girl attacked with Desperate Strike. In this case, maximum damage you can expect to receive is 12916 damage (back attack bonus, critical bonus).

This guy will alternate between 'bash' and Defense Up moves, which decreases damage it takes from PATK. Using magic on it is double-edged sword - it is vulnerable to it, but will counter using Helm Counter, so be prepared for it. OSF is easier, but more annoying. For starters, it has lost its stupid Defense Up and Helm Counter moves, but instead gained an attack with which it can destroy your Ethers. Bust it up with darkness NEGSE, then proceed wailing on it. As it has so little status immunities, knock yourself out and choose appropriate means of disposing it.

I wonder why Bali has one status less it can be guarded against - anyway, put it to sleep or inflict darkness on Bali, making it hard for it to connect with PATK. Let's not forget your favorite slow or stop statuses. In OSF Bali has access to few more attacks, namely Berserk and Stampede. It loses Skewer, BTW. Stampede can only be performed after Bali berserks itself. Prior to that move you'll have to make due with 'bash' and Fire Breath attacks. Once Bali has less than 33% HP remaining, it's berserk time. Still, darkness in effect will prevent it from becoming a serious threat (slow or stop can be applied as well). ***************************************************************************** BANDIT ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 132 | 22 | 28 | 1 | 30 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- CUR ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Potion | Budget Grenade | Grenade Grenade | 2x Budget Grenade | Grenade ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Unless you have Poisonproof tucked away somewhere, you'll spend most of the time curing poison status its regular PATK carries. Blade Rondo, used on each fourth turn, is very strong and always hits. To reduce damage you'll be taking, consider these options: Power Break on Barong, or darkness it. Interesting bit is that it is immune to slow, but not to stop. Then there's fire attacks to be considered as well. OSF - You hit it, but it hits back. Heh, Frenzied Edge is the name of the move that will make your hair grow white pretty soon. Each time Barong takes damage will be each time Barong counters - and if you're hit four times without healing inbetween... there goes the KO, for Edge belongs to fractional type attacks. Blade Rondo is used as 8th move, regardless of past actions it took. There's still more - Barong gained the ability to cast Bio and Confuse as well. Be afraid of Confuse and make absolutely sure you can guard against this status. ***************************************************************************** BASCINET, HELM species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 1342 | 27 | 210 | 1 | 110 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH 3355 | 27 | 270 | 2 | 188 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- [CON], [BER], CUR DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Hi-Potion [4xStarCurtn]| Hi-Potion [2xStarCurtn]| Wall Ring [Moon Bracer] 2x Hi-Potion[5xStarCurtn]| 2xHi-Potion[3xStarCurtn]| Wall Ring [Moon Bracer] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Bash'> - VS one chr - phd 2.

Besides Nausea Powder is has access to water and fire magic. Reflect, anyone? It can also berserk itself once it has lost 75% of HP.

[Magic Down] - on self - MAG power decreases as this fiend's HP drops by each 20% you shave off :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: This fiend is not to be joked with. Sporting very high resistance to PATK, it can easily silence you, unless you pack Silenceproof. Light MATK will make mincemeat out of Blue, just make sure you don't take too long in destroying it before its Magic Up (used on every 3rd turn Blue gets) builds up to becoming too powerful for you to handle. Reflecting its Silence magic will effectively shut it up. That is for RGF - but what about OSF? I consider it easier. It loses Watera, but gains Waterga and Regen. Set yourself up for the battle by casting Reflect on Element. Doing so ensures you'll be getting Regens Element would otherwise cast on itself. Also no worries - Element's AI isn't advanced enough to distinguish from who's under reflect - it'll always cast Regen on itself. To reduce Waterga's damage, have Waterproof or better. Each time Blue loses 20% of HP, its MAG stat will decrease, making its MATK less powerful. Effects can be reversed by raising its HP, but why would you want to do that? Shutting it up is quite easy - silence it. Draining its MP will not work, cos all OSF fiends have Spellspring ability, remember? ***************************************************************************** BOLT DRAKE, DRAKE species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 623 | 42 | 152 | 1 | 130 | NTH | WKN | IMM | NTH | NTH | NTH 2492 | 42 | 245 | 2 | 183 | NTH | WKN | IMM | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- SLE, [CON], [BER], CUR, [STR down] DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Hi-Potion [NulShockRng]| LightMarble[2xLightnGem]| LightnGleam[NulShockRng] NulShockRing[NulShockRng]| Yellow Ring[3xLightnGem]| LightnGleam[Ochre Ring] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Bash'> - VS one chr - phd 2.

[Strength Down] - on self - STR power decreases as this fiend's HP drops by each 20% you shave off :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: RGF, with some preparation, isn't annoying. It follows attack pattern of using three 'bash'-es, followed by its breath attack, then repeat. It's immune to sleep, but not darkness, which can help you tremendously in evading its 'bash' attacks. Using ice attacks against it is a fast way of racking up damage and dispatching it to Farplane. In OSF all drake fiends follow analogy, similar to elemental fiends. Lower drake's HP gets, lower its strength gets. On the other hand, all drake fiends are capable of restoring HP with curative magic (set reflect on them to get the curing instead). When OSF, Bolt Drake gets immunity to confusion and berserk, but many others can still be applied, most notably darkness.

If it manages to somehow suicide, girl hit won't be killed, but will merely have HP reduced to 1. Secret? Have fire absorbing stuff equipped.

Anyway... Bully Cap is the easiest of the bunch. All fungus fiends rely heavily on MP in RGF, and it just so happens that Bully Cap has small MP amount. Steal it, then confuse the little bastard - it is one of few fiends you can learn White Wind from. As it is weak to fire, you should consider using that type of attacks. Beware of Ebon Powder, which is used as a counter attack to girls' PATK. In OSF things become more interesting. Ebon Powder is no longer counter exclusivity, but can be used on any turn. Additionally Bully Cap gains ability to cast fire magic, and it can also berserk itself once it has lost 75% of HP. This berserk state is different though - it doesn't make Bully Cap attack physically, but instead grants it the ability to cast Watera. Unfortunately Bully Cap loses White Highwind in OSF state. ***************************************************************************** CANIS MAJOR, LUPINE species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 943 | 8 | 158 | 1 | 67 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH 2458 | 8 | 270 | 2 | 93 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- DAR, [CON], [BER], CUR DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Hi-Potion [4xHi-Potion]| Hi-Potion [4xHi-Potion]| Hi-Potion [HasteBangle] 2x Hi-Potion[6xHi-Potion]| 2xHi-Potion[5xHi-Potion]| Hi-Potion [HasteBangle] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Bite'> - VS one chr - phd 2.

Strength Up and possibly a Killer Fang... you're lucky today - Major doesn't have Killer, but Curse Fang instead. There's also an attack pattern too - 'bite' or Curse Fang being used for two turns, followed by Strength Up (thus increasing damage Major can do with its PATK). Although you can't darkness it, other statuses are not a stranger to Major, so exploit them. OSF is easier, but more annoying. For starters, it has lost its stupid Strength Up and Curse Fang moves, but instead gained Quintuple Attack - this move always hits, regardless of your protection and whatnot. Sequence can be interrupted by your girls attacking Major and dealing damage to it, but it won't cancel it completely (unless Major enters pyrefly-mode). ***************************************************************************** CEPHALOTUS, PLANT species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 1830 | 0 | 213 | 1 | 62 | WKN | NTH | NTH | HLV | IMM | NTH 6075 | 0 | 347 | 2 | 111 | WKN | NTH | NTH | HLV | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- 2xEchoScreen[3x Remedy] | 2xEchoScren[6x Remedy] | White Cape [Remedy] Remedy [4x Remedy] | Remedy [8x Remedy] | White Cape [Remedy] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Seed Burst'> - VS one chr - phd, 8 hits 2.

Loves to use Seed Cannon, which if girls aren't under protect, can KO a girl which has less that 50% MAX HP at her disposal. Using fire attacks against this bastard is your quick plant-be-gone solution. OSF is even more annoying. Cepha loses Seed Cannon, but gains Heavy Seed Cannon which reduces hit girl's HP to 1 (luckily protect can halve the damage). MP Crush attack reduces girl's MP, so if you have jobs around which rely on MP, they won't last long.

[Bruiser Tail] - FRATTP VS all chrs - fractional phd, tears off 37,5% MAX HP, delays hit girls' next turn, arc attack :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Funny chap, this dragon. 'Swipe', 'swipe', Tail Smash, repeat. Once you change Claret's HP nine times, Flame Breath is used on first turn Claret gets following that HP change. Oh, don't use anything element related VS Claret - it absorbs everything. Also, beware of Tail Smash - get hit with it four times and girls get KO-ed, if you don't heal in time. Battling Claret in its OSF is not much different that RGF. It will start the battle by charging three turns for Megaton Tail. Use the time you're given to attack it mercilessly - leave no space for being slow. Megaton Tail will shave off 62,5% of MAX HP when it hits, but damage can be reduced by protect. This one cannot be darknessed, but attack can miss if your EVA is high enough. At this point of the game it should be already. If during charge moves Claret receives enough attacks, it will cancel its Megaton Tail attempt and prompt it to use Crushing or Bruiser Tail. Like with RGF, it also absorbs all elements in OSF. Unlike RGF, Claret's actions in OSF cannot be predicted, which means that its 'swipe' and Flame Breath are a game of chance. Once again, though, high enough EVA and Fire Eater PASA of your girls make these two attacks a breeze. ***************************************************************************** COEURL, COEURL species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 320 | 310 | 24 | 1 | 30 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH 1380 | 310 | 60 | 2 | 80 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- PET, SLE, [CON], BER, CUR, [MAG down], MDEF down, ACTIC, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- 2x Potion [3xHi-Potion]| PhoenixDown[3xPhoenxDwn]| FarplaneShw[AngelEarrns] 4x Potion [4xHi-Potion]| 2xPhoenxDwn[4xPhoenxDwn]| FarplaneShw[AngelEarrns] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. - STATT VS one chr - universal dmg, reduces HP to 1 2.

Healing after each Blaster should be your top priority, or you might soon find all of your girls subdue to element magic it throws at you afterwards. Affect it with silence and confusion - former shuts it up for good, and latter offers a chance for you to learn White Wind. OSF form is far more entertaining. As you whittle its HP down, its MAG will increase - therefore do not dawdle for too long. Lv1 elements are gone, instead it gains access to lv2 elements, targeted at all girls. Blaster is still used, but not so often. If you try to protect this girls with POSSE, don't bother - Coeurl knows Dispel. Even in OSF you can silence it, effectively making this a victory move. ***************************************************************************** COYOTE, LUPINE species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 74 | 0 | 3 | 1 | 10 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH 296 | 0 | 10 | 2 | 30 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- [CON], [BER], CUR DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Potion [3xHi-Potion]| Potion [2x Potion] | PhoenixDown[MegaPhoenix] 2x Potion [4xHi-Potion]| PhoenixDown[2xPhoenxDwn]| PhoenixDown[MegaPhoenix] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Bite'> - VS one chr - phd 2.

Strength Up - on self - [increases STR by +2 levels] :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: A fiend representing most populated fiend species lupines. Fortunately, this is the easiest example of Lupines in terms of being quickly KO-ed. It uses 'bite' four times in a row, and then Strength Up, which allows it to deal higher damage with PATK. OSF is easier, but more annoying. For starters, it has lost its stupid Strength Up move, but instead gained Triple Attack - this move always hits, regardless of your protection and whatnot. Sequence can be interrupted by your girls attacking Coyote and dealing damage to it, but it won't cancel it completely. As it has so little status immunities, knock yourself out and choose appropriate means of disposing it. ***************************************************************************** CREEPER, VERMIN species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 1974 | 870 | 220 | 1 | 80 | NTH | NTH | NTH | ABS | IMM | NTH 7896 | 870 | 280 | 2 | 100 | NTH | NTH | NTH | ABS | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- [CON], [BER], CUR, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- S-Bomb [3x S-Bomb] | Hi-Potion [2xHi-Potion]| S-Bomb [S-Bomb] 2x S-Bomb [5x S-Bomb] | PhoenixDown[2xPhoenxDwn]| S-Bomb [S-Bomb] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Having water guarding acc equipped and decent EVA assures you won't get hit. When in critical HP (below 66%) it may try to perform Hug Bomb, suicide move. Solution? Kill it faster than it can kill itself. In OSF Hug Bomb is lost, but the vermin has much more HP, and the ability to use Waterga as well as launch Double Attack. Still, knowing that it can no longer suicide on you, I consider this form easier, inspite of taking longer to defeat. ***************************************************************************** CRIMSON SHADOW ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 2020 | 114 | 340 | 1 | 30 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, STOP, DOOM ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Hi-Potion | Phoenix Down | none 2x Hi-Potion | 2x Phoenix Down | none ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Haste - on self - induces haste :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: One of the two toughest vermins, Critical Bug is very hard to defeat. Able to cast lv3 ice and water magic requires either having relevant element acc, or setting up reflect to bounce spells back. That's not all - Bug can poison girls and even haste itself. In OSF, you have quite a battle at hand. Bio and Haste are lost, while Bug retains elemental skills. It also gains wide array of [Ihatethisdressphere] moves - it becomes angry at gun, sword and mage jobs. After certain [Hater] move has been used six times, you'll experience [Payback] move, which carries instant KO (if protected against it, phd will be inflicted). But you know what's the funny thing? It can be affected with slow and stop, while petrifying it takes care of it ultra fast. ***************************************************************************** DAEVA, SPELLSPINNER species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 3230 | 4480 | 60 | 1 | 90 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | WKN ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, POI, CON, BER, CUR, STOP, DOOM, %DMG ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Phoenix Down | Farplane Shadow | Safety Bit 2x Phoenix Down | Farplane Shadow | Safety Bit ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

All of them are spineless fools, Daeva being the silliest. First order of business is setting up reflect - while you'll be doing so, Daeva will haste itself. Put some damage into it to remind it that we're still here. Daeva has quite a wide array of attacks, but it doesn't have Dispel, meaning whatever it uses, will go right back to its rightful owner. Mighty Guard, which is used on each sixth turn, or rather, its effects, can easily be dispeled. ***************************************************************************** DARK ELEMENTAL, ELEMENTAL species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 433 | 1028 | 670 | 1 | 410 | IMM | IMM | IMM | IMM | NTH | NTH 983 | 1028 | 852 | 2 | 800 | IMM | IMM | IMM | IMM | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- PET, SLE, SIL, POI, CON, BER, CUR, SLOW, STOP, [MAG down] DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- 2x Water Gem[MysteryVeil]| 2x Ice Gem [3x Ice Gem] | TurboEther [CrystalBall] 3x Fire Gem [MysteryVeil]| 3x LightGem[4xLightnGem]| TurboEther [CrystalBall] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. - VS one chr - induces curse 2. - VS one chr - respective type of mgd 3. - on itself - adds reflect 2. - on self - [increases MAG by +2]; MAG power increases as this fiend's HP rises for each 20% it recovers (OSF) 5. - VS one chr - induces poison 6. Confuse - VS one chr - induces confusion 7. - VS all chrs - MP stolen is added to Dark's MP gauge 8. [Regen] - on self - induces regen 9. [Curaga] - on self - recovers large amount of HP 10. [Magic Down] - on self - MAG power decreases as this fiend's HP drops by each 20% you shave off :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Like all elementals - rob it of all MP and it becomes a kitten. Unless it steals the MP back, which is what it'll do for sure. Also, do not take this fiend lightly - it can easily mess you up in many ways possible, esp by Confuse. It is extremely resistant to both PATK and MATK, which is why it's recommended that you use attacks which ignore DEF and MDEF stats. On each 3rd turn it uses Magic Up, which increases damage it can do by MATK. That is for RGF - but what about OSF? I consider it easier. It loses Confuse, but gains Curaga and Regen. Set yourself up for the battle by casting Reflect on both your girls and Element. Doing so ensures you'll be getting Regens Element would otherwise cast on itself. Also no worries - Element's AI isn't advanced enough to distinguish from who's under reflect - it'll always cast Regen on itself. As for element magic bouncing back from you to it - it's immune to element damage, ergo it won't gain anything. Each time Dark loses 20% of HP, its MAG stat will decrease, making its MATK less powerful. Effects can be reversed by raising its HP, but why would you want to do that? ***************************************************************************** DEATH DAUBER, WASP species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 78 | 1 | 18 | 1 | 12 | WKN | WKN | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH 312 | 1 | 32 | 2 | 18 | WKN | WKN | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- [CON], [BER], CUR, [STR down] DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Potion [2xPhoenxDwn]| Potion [2xPhoenxDwn]| Remedy [Remedy] 2x Potion [3xPhoenxDwn]| PhoenixDown[3xPhoenxDwn]| SilverGlass[Remedy] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. [Sharpened Needle] - VS one chr - phd, dmg slowly increases with each hit 2. 'Sting' - VS one chr - phd 3. Sleep Needle - VS one chr - phd, induces sleep :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: RGF battle is often a drag, for Dauber appears with other fiends and inflicting itchy at the moment when it's not needed is quite annoying. Also count in Sleep Needle and you have one annoyance victor - being guarded against sleep and itchy is a good choice, as is simply having high EVA or getting Dauber to suffer from darkness. If you wanna have a laugh, confuse it and see what happens when fiends get inflicted with itchy. They won't be able to move at all. Fear the power of spherechange! OSF Dauber is easier - Sharpened Needle attack doesn't carry any negative statuses, but it grows progressively stronger each time Dauber manages to land a successful hit. Again high EVA or darkness on Dauber help rectify the situation. Both RGF and OSF are susceptible to many NEGSE, so be sure to exploit them to their fullest advantage. ***************************************************************************** DEEP HAIZHE, HAIZHE species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 1030 | 122 | 133 | 1 | 40 | NTH | NTH | WKN | NTH | WKN | NTH 4119 | 122 | 188 | 2 | 83 | NTH | NTH | WKN | NTH | WKN | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- PET, SLE, SIL, CON, [BER], CUR, MAG down, MDEF down DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Hi-Potion [DragnflyOrb]| GoldAnklet [GoldHourgls]| DragnflyOrb[KinesisBadg] Hi-Potion [DragnflyOrb]| DragnflyOrb[GoldHourgls]| DragnflyOrb[KinesisBadg] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Distortion Wave - NATT VS all chrs - mgd, arc attack :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: RGF knows only one attack - Distortion Wave, which hits all girls. I emplore you to kill Deeps fast - if in pairs, they're exceptionally dangerous due to high HP they have. Trying to berserk it will prompt it to use PATK, which are far more manageable. It's weak to lightning, and as for statuses - employ slow or stop. OSF is easier by far. Deep starts by reflecting itself, then cycling thru elemental magic, starting on lv1 and ending on lv3, then repeating. If you count on simply reflecting all of your girls, think again. It knows Dispel and it can destroy your effort rather easily. Having Auto-Reflect achieves exactly the opposite - Deep will spend entire battle trying to dispel it - unsuccessfully, of course. ***************************************************************************** DETONATOR, BOMB species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 1860 | 423 | 132 | 1 | 98 | ABS | WKN | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH 7220 | 423 | 220 | 2 | 190 | ABS | WKN | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- SLE, SIL, CON, BER, CUR, DELEF, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Bomb Core [4xCandleLfe]| Bomb Core [2xFire Gem] | CandleLife[SoulThamasa] Fire Gem [6xCandleLfe]| CandleLife [2xFire Gem] | CandleLife[SoulThamasa] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Attack it two times, it grows. Attack it twice more, it grows again. Two more attacks and there goes the bomb. Occassional 'bash' and weak Fira magic can be shrugged off, and you can add many statuses onto poor Detonator. If it manages to somehow suicide, girl hit won't be killed, but will merely have HP reduced to 1. Secret? Have fire absorbing stuff equipped. OSF is not much different, except that Fira now hits all girls, and it also knows Firaga. Then there's Quadruple Attack - four times the charm, I guess, hehe. It concentrates more on using fire magic than PATK, anyway. Only stuff it loses is its 'bash'. ***************************************************************************** DINICTUS, DINOFISH species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 1873 | 0 | 187 | 1 | 88 | NTH | NTH | WKN | IMM | WKN | NTH 7792 | 0 | 370 | 2 | 140 | NTH | NTH | WKN | IMM | WKN | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- PET, SLE, [CON], [BER], CUR DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Water Gem [3xWater Gem]| Water Gem [ShortCircut]| Blue Ring [ShortCircut] 2x Water Gem[4xWater Gem]| 2xWater Gem[ShortCircut]| CeruleanRng[ShortCircut] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. - STATT VS all chrs - std, tears off 37,5% MAX HP & 37,5% MAX MP, arc attack 2. <'Bite'> - VS one chr - phd 3. [Quintuple Attack] - VS one chr - phd, attacks five times, always hits :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: RGF has an attack pattern - three 'bite'-s, followed by La Nina, then repeat. Make sure you defeat Dinictus before its 4th turn, else it'll really mess you up with the damage La Nina does. Note that damage done by that attacks cannot be reduced in any way. Tip: confuse or berserk it, and let me not forget stop. OSF gains one new attack, called Quintuple Attack. Be glad when it decides to use it, cos it means that you have five turns of nothing to worry about. Dinictus no longer follows any distinctive attack pattern, meaning it can use La Nina whenever it wants, so tread carefully. It now becomes immune to confusion and berserk, but many other statuses can still be applied (like stop). ***************************************************************************** DIVEBEAK, BIRD species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 10 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 12 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH 72 | 2 | 8 | 2 | 28 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- [CON], [BER], CUR DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Antidote [2x Ether] | Potion [Ether] | Antidote [Ether] 2x Antidote [3x Ether] | Ether [2x Ether] | Ether [Ether] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Peck'> - VS one chr - phd 2.

Only possessing simple 'peck' attack, it's the easiest of bird fiends. But it does excel at EVA, making it hard to connect for physical attacks - in this case you may want to consider using magic instead? OSF battle is a little more annoying, mainly cos of poison status Blight Wing attacks induces. Divebeak also has improved EVA in this state - magic anyone?

Be swift, be fiery and strike without mercy. As it is weak against fire, consider fire attacks. Make sure you're protected against itchy, else you'll constantly be switching DSP. Then there's its Dance, which puts all girls to sleep and causes MP damage. In RGF this is all it knows... Put it to sleep yourself, hehe. But in OSF things get out of hand really quick. For starters, 'bash' can no longer inflict status changes, but other attacks can. Confusion protection is still quite a must (thanks to Ochu Jiggle), and in case girl gets berserked, so much better - at least she hits the designated target. Consider reflect to be used to bounce occasional lightning spells back to its owner. Last thing to mention is that once Ochu is close to defeat (75% HP smoked off), it likes to haste itself - so hurry up and kill it quickly.

If your EVA is decent, all of its 'headbutts' will miss. RGF Worm will use 'headbutt' until it successfully deals damage four times, and then prepare a charge turn for Earthquake - beware, this attack delays your girls a bit. If you'd like to evade it, set berserk on Worm. If Worm is OSF and loses 66% of its HP, it will use Sorrow on first turn it gets. You don't have to really worry about Sorrow, as it can't kill you.

[Mage Payback] - VS one chr - phd, attacks white/black mages, induces KO :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: RGF, even with some preparation, is very annoying. Strongest of all drakes, it's spelled death on its forehead. When its HP is high enough, all you'll be seeing is Elder's 'bash' - but attack it with MATK and doom is upon you. Pyroplexy, dubbed flame elemental attack, is so much more than that. It packs non-elemental attributes and will get you killed. High MDEF and shell are a must. Status-wise, Elder resists lots of stuff (but not eject), and it has a weakness to four primary elements. Force of Nature acc is the king in dealing damage - throw berserker in the mix as well. One more annoying stuff to mention is innate Auto-Protect Elder is carrying around, which makes it for a long and gruesome battle. In OSF all drake fiends follow analogy, similar to elemental fiends. Lower drake's HP gets, lower its strength gets. On the other hand, all drake fiends are capable of restoring HP with curative magic (set reflect on them to get the curing instead). When OSF, Elder becomes bad news for mages. Prepare for Mage-Hater attack - once it's been used six times, Mage Payback follows - unless protected against KO, girl goes sayonara. Try using jobs other than black or white mage. Elder retains Auto-Protect in this state as well. ***************************************************************************** ELDER ZURVAN, IMP species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 7520 | 210 | 440 | 1 | 180 | NTH | IMM | IMM | IMM | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- SIL, CON, BER, CUR, SLOW, STOP, MAG down, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG, ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- 2x Holy Water | Remedy | Remedy Remedy | Remedy | Remedy ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

For these reasons you may want to use attacks with special properties - dark knight's Darkness, gun mage's 1000 Needles, Annihilator, Mortar or Storm Cannon, attack items from your stock and more. There's much options, you merely need to seek them out. Tide of battle becomes more interesting in OSF. It gains access to all four lv3 element magics.

Draining its MP will not work, cos all OSF fiends have Spellspring ability, remember? Azabache has a neat trick up its sleeve in OSF - to ensure it gets Magic Up bonuses, it will cast Bio on itself to get poison status.

In addition, whatever damage you inflicted so far, will be returned to the girl attacked with Desperate Strike.

Skullcracker - FRATTP VS one chr - fractional phd, tears off 62,5% MAX HP :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Another tank fiend you'll encounter. Packing high DEF, you will have trouble dealing high damage to this joker, so chain attacks are recommended. Let's not forget magic attacks. You can darkness this fiend to reduce its ACCU. Gemini alternates between 'sword smash' and Skullcracker (former has delay properties). Heal immediately after Skull was used. One more such attack and girl is a goner. OSF loses Skull, but Gemini is now able to cast lv3 elements, along with ability to cure itself and dispel POSSE you put on your girls. Don't flash white mages in this battle for too long. Gemini is very tired of them and will focus most of its attacks on that poor white mage. It does forfeit casting its magics, but losing a girl cos of that doesn't cut it. ***************************************************************************** GIGAS, OGRE species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 2290 | 22 | 884 | 1 | 180 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | WKN | NTH 9360 | 22 | 1020 | 2 | 600 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | WKN | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- SLE, DAR, CON, BER, CUR, STOP, DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- none [Muscle Belt]| Hi-Potion [ShortCircut]| ChampionBlt[PowerGloves] Muscle Belt [Muscle Belt]| Potpourri [ShortCircut]| ChampionBlt[KaiserKnuck] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

[Secret Hero Drink] - on self - induces invincibility 5. 'Counter-punch' - VS one chr - phd, will raise its hands as a sign to counter any physical attacks :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: This guy is fairly interesting - in RGF all it knows is simple PATK. However, once its HP is reduced below 75%, it'll put up its dukes. At the same time Gigas gains [DEF up +10] bonus, making girls' physicals less effective. Luckily the effect can be cleared off by samurai's Fingersnap. If this is not an option, then consider using MATK, esp gravity based. Gigas is susceptible to lot of status changes, most notably petrification and poison. It can also be slowed. In OSF things get much more hectic. It no longer uses PATK (except Futile, but I'll cover that later), instead it knows lv3 element magic of four primary elements - and it hits all gals! Set up reflect to bounce it back. Once Gigas loses 50% of HP, it'll make itself invincible. Nothing you can do now to damage it - but it is still susceptible to statuses. Go for KO! Once Gigas lingers around with less than 90% of HP, expect to see Futile Resistance, rather dangerous damage and status dealing attack. ***************************************************************************** GOLD ELEMENTAL, ELEMENTAL species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 84 | 280 | 40 | 1 | 40 | IMM | IMM | ABS | WKN | NTH | NTH 396 | 280 | 68 | 2 | 72 | IMM | IMM | ABS | WKN | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- PET, SLE, CON, BER, CUR, [MAG down] DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- ElectroMarbl[2xElectrMrb]| ElectroMarb[2xLightMrbl]| LigtningGem[LigtningGem] 2xElectrMrbl[3xElectrMrb]| 2xElectrMrb[3xLightMrbl]| YellowRing [YellowRing] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. - LATT VS all chrs - light mgd 2. - on self - [increases MAG by +2]; MAG power increases as this fiend's HP rises for each 20% it recovers (OSF) 3.

[Regen] - on self - induces regen 5. - VS one chr - MP stolen is added to Gold's MP :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Like all elementals - rob it of all MP and it becomes a kitten. Unless it steals the MP back, which is what it'll do for sure. Sporting very high resistance to PATK, using water magic is the way to go. On each 3rd turn it uses Magic Up, which increases damage it can do by MATK. Silence on Gold is effective way of not being worried ever. Lightningproof or better will ensure you take no damage from its magic. That is for RGF - but what about OSF? It gains Regen, so set yourself up for the battle by casting Reflect on Element. Doing so ensures you'll be getting Regens Element would otherwise cast on itself. Also no worries - Element's AI isn't advanced enough to distinguish from who's under reflect - it'll always cast Regen on itself. Each time Gold loses 20% of HP, its MAG stat will decrease, making its MATK less powerful. Effects can be reversed by raising its HP, but why would you want to do that? ***************************************************************************** GREAT HAUNT, REVENANT species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 8483 | 720 | 120 | 1 | 210 | *** | *** | *** | *** | IMM | WKN ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, STOP, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Ether | Mana Spring | Gold Hairpin Ether | Soul Spring | Gold Hairpin ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

[Ingest Remedies] - VS one chr - phd, decreases Remedy stock by 5 :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: One of the fiends you'll love or hate - usually begins the battle with Really Bad Breath, which can seriously mess you up if you're not packing Ribbons. Hello confusion, goodbye girls - game over. To avoid this unfortunate event, perhaps consider using dark knight for many anti-status PASA she offers. When GreatM is low on health, you'll be seeing Staccato a lot. Don't take too long in killing it, or else GreatM's 'squirt' and Staccato attacks will reduce your core stats by too much. In case GreatM is OSF, your item stock becomes possible target area. Malboro gains the ability to destroy your Eye Drops, Antidotes, Echo Screens, Holy Waters and Remedies in a flash. In addition, its Halitosis will force you to constantly switch DSP (equip Favorite Outfit to be Itchproof), possibly making you forget to lead the battle at hand. Do not allow that - GreatM may only be a slightly harder. Okay, so you may no longer predict when Really Bad Breath will be used, but hey, where'd the challenge be then? 'Chomp' inflicts huge damage, so protect being in place is a wise decision. BTW, you cannot evade it, for it always hits. Don't worry about your item stock, though - all of the items that can get possibly destroyed can easily be bought later. GreatM is still susceptible to all seven status breaks. ***************************************************************************** GREATER DRAKE, DRAKE species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 1819 | 103 | 320 | 1 | 140 | IMM | WKN | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH 6658 | 107 | 470 | 2 | 210 | IMM | WKN | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, SLOW, [STR down] DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Fire Gem [NulBlazeRng]| Fire Gem [3x Fire Gem]| NulBlazeRng[Sublimator] NulBlazeRing[NulBlazeRng]| 2x Fire Gem[10xFire Gem]| NulBlazeRng[Sublimator] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Bash'> - VS one chr - phd, induces poison (OSF) 2.

[Strength Down] - on self - STR power decreases as this fiend's HP drops by each 20% you shave off 6. [Sword-Hater] - VS one chr - phd, attacks samurais/dark knights/warriors :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: RGF, with some preparation, isn't annoying. When its HP is high enough, all you'll be seeing is Greater's 'bash' - but bring it's HP under 75% and it'll start using 'firebreath'. Greater unfortunately can't be darknessed, but you can apply protect to reduce the damage taken. As for fire attacks, equip stuff that guards against fire. In OSF all drake fiends follow analogy, similar to elemental fiends. Lower drake's HP gets, lower its strength gets. On the other hand, all drake fiends are capable of restoring HP with curative magic (set reflect on them to get the curing instead). When OSF, Greater's 'bash' has an added bonus of inducing poison. Furthermore, sword girls will be continuously pelted by Sword-Hater - either apply protect or use jobs that don't require swords. Petrifying Greater works amazingly, too. ***************************************************************************** GRIM GAZE, EVIL EYE species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 1720 | 388 | 244 | 1 | 130 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH 4223 | 388 | 380 | 2 | 220 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- CON, BER, CUR, SLOW, STOP, %DMG ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL NOTES ----------------------------- When oversouled, it loses immunity to slow and stop.

Halting gaze does small mgd and inflicts stop sometimes. That's not all - it also knows Pointless attack (no EXP and AP are gained) and Supersonic Waves (mgd and poison status). OSF - semi-hard. Besides Halting and Waves it also gained the ability to cast lv3 elements, making it more versatile in dishing out mgd. Its HP is also improved, but status immunity leaves much to desire for. ***************************************************************************** GUARD MACHINA, MACHINA species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 2460 | 0 | 85 | 1 | 40 | NTH | NTH | ABS | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, POI, CON, BER, CUR, DOOM ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Budget Grenade | Budget Grenade | none Dark Grenade | Dark Grenade | none ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Heaven's Cataract - NATT VS all chrs - mgd, reduces [DEF, MDEF, ACCU, EVA & LUCK by -1 level], arc attack :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Second of basilisk fiends you'll run into, and semi-hard. For the RGF I advise you right off the bat to have Stoneproof handy. Or Softs when the going gets tough - although not having to worry about being petrified in the first place is better choice. Then we have Heaven's Cat - aside from mgd it lessens five attributes (luckily not STR or MAG). And then here's the attack pattern - four 'bash', Stony Glare, four 'bash', Heaven's Cat, repeat. Darkness it to cause Gucumatz to miss often with its PATK. Applying shell will take care of halving damage Heaven's Cat does. OSF battle for a change of pace, you say? Heaven's Cat is lost, but more other attacks are gained: MP Break destroys girls' MP, Destroy Soft will rid you of Softs one by one... and Hunter's Gaze? People with Ultimania guides say that Hunter's Gaze merely points out who will Gucumatz attack in next turn. Darkness and stop statuses are the most recommended NEGSE for Gucumatz. ***************************************************************************** GUG, OGRE species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 6433 | 67 | 1130 | 1 | 600 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | WKN | NTH 16300 | 67 | 1555 | 2 | 600 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | WKN | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, SLE, DAR, CON, BER, CUR, STOP, DOOM, ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL NOTES ----------------------------- When oversouled, it loses bonus.

'Double-punch' - VS one chr - phd :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: One big punching bag, who thinks your girls are punching bags. There's a neat trick involving Gug - as soon as battle starts, you'll see its hands lowered for about 1 second before it raises them. Try to kill it or at least damage it during lowered-hands state, as this is the time its DEF hasn't gained any boost yet. As soon as Gug raises its hands, its DEF is raised by +10 levels, making further PATK less effective. A quick way to get rid of it is to petrify it - or using samurai's Fingersnap. In OSF things get much more hectic. It no longer uses PATK, instead it knows lv3 element magic of four primary elements - and it hits all gals! Let's not forget Flare. Set up reflect to bounce all that stuff back. Once Gug loses 80% of HP, it'll use Dark Matter against YRP. You must have over 1500 HP to survive. ***************************************************************************** HAIZHE, HAIZHE species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 653 | 0 | 48 | 1 | 22 | NTH | NTH | WKN | NTH | WKN | NTH 2612 | 0 | 90 | 2 | 52 | NTH | NTH | WKN | NTH | WKN | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- PET, SLE, SIL, [CON], [BER], CUR, MAG down, MDEF down DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Potion [Pretty Orb] | PhoenixDown[SilverHrgls]| Pretty Orb [KinesisBadg] Phoenix Down[Pretty Orb] | Pretty Orb [2xSilverHrg]| Pretty Orb [KinesisBadg] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Absorb - VS one chr - HP&MP stolen are added to Haizhe's HP&MP :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: RGF knows few attacks - it will use 'smash' four times, and then follow with Absorb - attack pattern then repeats. I needn't mention that Haizhe and Deep Haizhe combo is very dangerous. Both have quite high HP at the point of the game you're meeting them. Fortunately Haizhe can be confused. In this state, you may be the lucky winner to learn Mighty Guard. It's weak to lightning, and as for statuses - employ slow or stop. OSF is easier by far. Haizhe starts by reflecting itself, then cycling thru elemental magic, starting on lv1 and ending on lv3, then repeating. If you count on simply reflecting all of your girls, think again. It knows Dispel and it can destroy your effort rather easily. Having Auto-Reflect achieves exactly the opposite - Haizhe will spend entire battle trying to dispel it - unsuccessfully, of course. ***************************************************************************** HAUNT, REVENANT species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 813 | 433 | 108 | 1 | 120 | *** | *** | *** | *** | IMM | WKN ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, STOP, DOOM ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Blue Ring | Arctic Wind | Star Pendant Twist Headband | Water Gem | Star Pendant ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

But you know what's the funny thing? It can be affected with slow and stop, while petrifying it takes care of it ultra fast. ***************************************************************************** IRON GIANT, IRON GIANT species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 222 | 0 | 20 | 1 | 40 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH 233 | 0 | 100 | 2 | 110 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- PET, SIL, POI, [CON], [BER], CUR, STOP, ACTIC, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- BudgetGrenad[2x Grenade] | BudgetGrend[2x M-Bomb] | Grenade [MythrilGlvs] Grenade [3x Grenade] | Grenade [4x M-Bomb] | Grenade [MythrilGlvs] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Sword Smash'> - VS one chr - phd, delays girl's next move a bit 2.

Packing high DEF, you will have trouble dealing high damage to this joker, so chain attacks are recommended. Let's not forget magic attacks. You can darkness this fiend to reduce its ACCU. Once Iron Giant loses 75% HP, you'll be introduced to Reaper attack. Now Giant follows attack pattern of two 'sword smash'-es, then Reaper, then repeat. Beware, 'sword smash' has delay properties. OSF loses Reaper, but Giant is now able to cast lv2 elements, along with ability to cure itself and dispel POSSE you put on your girls. Don't flash white mages in this battle for too long. Giant is very tired of them and will focus most of its attacks on that poor white mage. It does forfeit casting its magics, but losing a girl cos of that doesn't cut it. ***************************************************************************** IRONSIDE, ARMOR species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 8432 | 1400 | 660 | 1 | 200 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH 12154 | 1400 | 940 | 2 | 340 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, SLOW, STOP, STR down, MAG down, DEF down, MDEF down, ACCU down, EVA down, LUCK down, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- StaminaTablt[6xShadowGem]| 2xShadowGem[6xStaminTbl]| Shining Gem[Shining Gem] StaminaTablt[8xShadowGem]| 3xShadowGem[8xStaminTbl]| Shining Gem[Shining Gem] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Smash'> - STATT VS one chr - phd, universal damage = reduces hit girl's HP to 1 (RGF) 2. - STATT VS all chrs - 1150 universal dmg 3.

Attack pattern - 'smash', Body Splash, three 'smash'-es, Storm Cannon, repeat. Take haste to heal after each hit - don't bother attacking Ironside until after it opens its chestplate, revealing its weak spot. At this time unload everything you have, but make sure your HP is above 1150 (half less if you're shelled). Eject, as usually, is one status fiend isn't immune against. OSF is more formiddable. First it'll reflect itself, then start cycling thru lv1, lv2 and lv3 elements, finishing the cycle with Ultima. After Ultima the cycle begins anew. If you throw any POSSE onto your girls, they'll be dispeled. If you dispel Ironside's reflect, it will counter that action by using 'smash' once, followed by Storm Cannon. ***************************************************************************** JAHI, LARVA species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 2033 | 360 | 1200 | 1 | 620 | NTH | NTH | ABS | NTH | IMM | WKN ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, CON, BER, CUR, STOP, DOOM ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Gold Anklet | 2x Remedy | Mana Spring Gold Anklet | 2x Mana Spring | Mana Spring ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Killer Fang - VS one chr - induces KO :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Lupine fiend - you already know what to expect, right? Strength Up and possibly a Killer Fang... you're lucky today, for Hound is the winner you've been looking for. Angel Earrings, Safety Bit or mastered dark knight (although it's very hard you have the latter at this point of the game) ensure girls won't subdue to Killer Fang. There's also an attack pattern too - 'bite' or Killer Fang being used for three turns, followed by Strength Up (thus increasing damage Major can do with its PATK. Darkness it as well to raise your survival chances. If they appear in packs and your girls are fairly weak, fleeing may be better option than getting slaughtered. OSF is easier, but more annoying. For starters, it has lost its stupid Strength Up and Killer Fang moves, but instead gained Quadruple Attack - this move always hits, regardless of your protection and whatnot. Sequence can be interrupted by your girls attacking Hound and dealing damage to it, but it won't cancel it completely (unless Hound enters pyrefly-mode). ***************************************************************************** KILLER MACHINA, MACHINA species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 4222 | 0 | 600 | 1 | 180 | NTH | NTH | ABS | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, POI, CON, BER, CUR, SLOW, STOP, DOOM, %DMG ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Dark Grenade | M-Bomb | none Petrify Grenade | 2x M-Bomb | none ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

[Rip to Shreds] - VS one chr - phd, induces itchy 7. [Blind] - VS one chr - induces darkness 8. [Silence] - VS one chr - induces silence :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: King Takouba of the blades will make your battles against it quite frantic. Unless you have Poisonproof tucked away somewhere, you'll spend most of the time curing poison status its regular PATK carries. Blade Rondo, used on each fourth turn, is very strong and always hits. To reduce damage you'll be taking, consider using Power Break on King. It has become immune to both slow and stop, but luckily fire attacks are still its weakness. OSF - You hit it, but it hits back. Heh, Frenzied Edge is the name of the move that will make your hair grow white pretty soon. Each time King takes damage will be each time King counters - and if you're hit four times without healing inbetween... there goes the KO, for Edge belongs to fractional type attacks. Blade Rondo is used as 8th move, regardless of past actions it took. There's still more - King gained the ability to cast a handful of status magics, Confuse being the most annoying one. There's also Rip to Shreds attack, which induces itchy status, forcing you to spherechange (if no Remedies or Esunas are present). Be afraid of Confuse and make absolutely sure you can guard against this status. ***************************************************************************** KUKULCAN, BASILISK species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 3220 | 85 | 135 | 1 | 86 | NTH | WKN | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH 9480 | 85 | 233 | 2 | 140 | NTH | WKN | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, POI, CON, [BER], CUR, SLOW, STR down, MAG down DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- 2x Soft [Gold Anklet]| 2x Soft [8x Remedy] | Stone Shock[Stone Shock] Gold Anklet [Gold Anklet]| Remedy [10x Remedy] | Stone Shock[Stone Shock] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Bash'> - VS one chr - phd, induces poison (OSF) 2.

Heaven's Cataract - NATT VS all chrs - mgd, reduces [DEF, MDEF, ACCU, EVA & LUCK by -1 level], arc attack :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: First of basilisk fiends you'll run into, and semi-hard. For the RGF I advise you right off the bat to have Stoneproof handy. Or Softs when the going gets tough - although not having to worry about being petrified in the first place is better choice. Then we have Heaven's Cat - aside from mgd it lessens five attributes (luckily not STR or MAG). And then here's the attack pattern - Stony Glare, two 'bash', Heaven's Cat, two 'bash', repeat. Darkness it to cause Kukulcan to miss often with its PATK. Applying shell will take care of halving damage Heaven's Cat does. OSF battle for a change of pace, you say? Heaven's Cat is lost, but more other attacks are gained: MP Break destroys girls' MP, Destroy Soft will rid you of Softs one by one... and Hunter's Gaze? People with Ultimania guides say that Hunter's Gaze merely points out who will Kukulcan attack in next turn. Darkness and stop statuses are the most recommended NEGSE for Kukulcan. ***************************************************************************** LACERTA, REPTILE species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 12324 | 62 | 750 | 1 | 400 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | ABS | NTH 13556 | 62 | 980 | 2 | 1200 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | ABS | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, SLOW, STOP, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG, DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- ChocoboWing [SpeedBracer]| Ether [Ether] | BushidoLore[BushidoLore] SprintShoes [SpeedBracer]| 2x Ether [2x Ether] | BushidoLore[BushidoLore] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. - FRATTP VS one chr - fractional phd, tears off 25% MAX HP or 50% MAX HP (OSF) 2.

Sporting speed, evasion and accuracy, it is not to be messed with. Rend attack will make you pull your hair out, cos it deals damage based on MAX HP - yep, you're right, it's a fractional type attack. Superior EVA is also recommended (songstress Matador's Song). In OSF form Lacerta grows more powerful still. Rend now tears 50% MAX HP, making you wish to end the battle even faster than before. Protect status and Matador's Song will be immensely helpful, esp if you run into three Lacertas at once. In addition, whatever damage you inflicted so far, will be returned to the girl attacked with Desperate Strike. In this case, maximum damage you can expect to receive is 54220 damage (back attack bonus, critical bonus). Holy ****! And that's a lot of statuses Lacerta's immune to - luckily it shows no immunity to being ejected, hehe. ***************************************************************************** LEAGUE FIGHTER ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 168 | 14 | 10 | 1 | 50 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- CUR ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Budget Grenade | Potion | Phoenix Down Grenade | Phoenix Down | Phoenix Down ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Killer Fang - VS one chr - induces KO :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Lupine fiend - you already know what to expect, right? Strength Up and possibly a Killer Fang... you're lucky today, for Lupus is another winner you've been looking for. Where are your Angel Earrings and Safety Bit acc? You have to make sure girls won't subdue to Killer Fang. There's also an attack pattern too - 'bite' or Killer Fang being used for two turns, followed by Strength Up (thus increasing damage Major can do with its PATK (beware, it also carries confusion, which can totally destroy you)). Darkness it as well to raise your survival chances. If they appear in packs and your girls are fairly weak, fleeing may be better option than getting slaughtered. OSF is easier, but more annoying. For starters, it has lost its stupid Strength Up and Killer Fang moves, as well as confusion bonus 'bite' carries. Instead it gained Quintuple Attack and 1000-Gil-Gnasher - former move always hits, regardless of your protection and whatnot, while later checks YRP's pockets to see how much cash they carry (naughty Lupus!). Quintuple Attack's sequence can be interrupted by your girls attacking Lupus and dealing damage to it, but it won't cancel it completely (unless Lupus enters pyrefly-mode). ***************************************************************************** MACHINA HUNTER, MACHINA species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 1780 | 0 | 63 | 1 | 30 | NTH | NTH | ABS | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, POI, CON, BER, CUR, DOOM ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Budget Grenade | Budget Grenade | none Silence Grenade | Silence Grenade | none ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Chef's Knife terror is still around, and it also gained Firaga and Flare. Its most dangerous skill is Cry, which is used once Mega loses 75% HP.

Pernicious Powder is one of the most devastating moves in the game - aside from causing girls to catch all sorts of bad statuses, STR and MAG are seriously bogged down. Ribbon is a must - even so, you'll constantly have to change DSP, cos of itchy status, which is induced regardless of protection. Don't bother draining Cloud's MP, as it has Spellspring - infinite Ultimas on YRP. You must strike decisively and with your strongest attacks. If you cannot be bothered, then your better choice is to escape. As it is weak to fire, you should consider using that type of attacks. In OSF things become more interesting. Waterga and Firaga have joined the bunch and Ultima is not used so often. Cap off 75% of its HP and it'll berserk itself. Now the only attack used will be Ultima. At least no more Pernicious Powder - but is that good enough of a consolation? ***************************************************************************** MYCOTOXIN, FUNGUS species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 810 | 120 | 212 | 1 | 83 | WKN | NTH | NTH | HLV | NTH | NTH 3240 | 120 | 276 | 2 | 152 | WKN | NTH | NTH | HLV | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- SLE, DAR, [CON], BER, CUR ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL NOTES ----------------------------- When OS, it loses immunity to berserk.

Anyway... Mycotoxin doesn't have any elemental magic to be throwing around in RGF, but instead only uses Nausea Powder. Atchoo! Star Pendants, where are you? Just bust a cap in its ass and it's defeated - faster disposal can be achieved by using fire attacks. You can also confuse the little bastard - it is one of few fiends you can learn White Wind from. In OSF things become more interesting. Besides Nausea Powder is has access to water and fire magic. Reflect, anyone? It can also berserk itself once it has lost 75% of HP. This berserk state is different though - it doesn't make Mycotoxin attack physically but instead grants it the ability to cast Waterga. Unfortunately Mycotoxin loses White Highwind in OSF state. ***************************************************************************** NASHORN, RUMINANT species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 482 | 0 | 33 | 1 | 22 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH 1928 | 0 | 63 | 2 | 53 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- SLE, POI, [CON], CUR, DOOM DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Potion [3xHi-Potion]| Potion [2xMegaPhonx]| Hi-Potion [NulBlazeRng] PhoenixDown [4xHi-potion]| PhoenixDown[2xMegaPhonx]| Hi-Potion [CrimsonRing] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Bash'> - VS one chr - phd 2. - VS one chr - huge phd 3.

Both 'bash' and Skewer are very strong, so setting protect in place is wise choice, as is inflicting darkness on Nashorn, making it hard for it to connect with PATK. Nashorn can also be put on slow or stop status, making it quite an easy prey. In OSF Nashorn has access to few more attacks, namely Berserk and Stampede. Latter can only be performed after Nashorn berserks itself. Prior to that move you'll have to make due with 'bash' and Skewer still. Once Nashorn has less than 33% HP remaining, it's berserk time. Still, darkness in effect will prevent it from becoming a serious threat (slow or stop can be applied as well). ***************************************************************************** OCHU, OCHU species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 1480 | 62 | 124 | 1 | 133 | WKN | NTH | NTH | HLV | IMM | NTH 3755 | 62 | 280 | 2 | 240 | WKN | NTH | NTH | HLV | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- PET, POI, [CON], [BER], CUR, SLOW, STOP, ACCU down, EVA down, LUCK down, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Antidote [Blind Shock]| Antidote [Mute Shock] | BlackChoker[FaerieErngs] TwistHeadbnd[Blind Shock]| TwistHeadbd[Mute Shock] | BlackChoker[FaerieErngs] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Bash'> - VS one chr - phd, induces confusion and poison (RGF) 2.

[Thunder] - LATT VS one chr - light mgd 5. [Touch-and-Go] - VS one chr - phd, induces berserk :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Plants. I hate 'em. Especially Ochus. Be swift, be fiery and strike without mercy. As it is weak against fire, consider fire attacks. Make sure you're protected against poison and confusion (esp the latter can really mess you up). In RGF this is all it knows... But in OSF things get out of hand really quick. For starters, 'bash' can no longer inflict status changes, but other attacks can. Confusion protection is still quite a must (thanks to Ochu Jiggle), and in case girl gets berserked, so much better - at least she hits the designated target. Consider reflect to be used to bounce occasional lightning spells back to its owner. Last thing to mention is that once Ochu is close to defeat (loses more than 75% HP), it likes to haste itself - so hurry up and kill it quickly. Both forms show wide status immunity, but it isn't immune to KO or eject. ***************************************************************************** OMEGA WEAPON, WEAPON species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 24200 | 9999 | 3350 | 1 | 5000 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH 25410 | 9999 | 4230 | 2 | 5000 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, SLOW, STOP, STR down, MAG down, DEF down, MDEF down, ACCU down, EVA down, LUCK down, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Safety Bit [Safety Bit] | Turbo Ether[FaerieErngs]| Three Stars[Ribbon] Elixir [Safety Bit] | 2xTurboEthr[FaerieErngs]| Ribbon [Ribbon] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Punch'> - VS one chr - phd, induces itchy, poison, confusion, KO (status infliction possible only in RGF) 2. - NATT VS one chr - mgd 3. - NATT VS all chrs - mgd 4.

['Copycat move'] - OSF Omega responds to following attacks by using the move you used against it unless specified otherwise - any black magic; uses Flare as counter to any white magic except Holy and Dispel; all Arcanas except Black Sky; Supernova and MP Absorb :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: How lucky do you think you are? Judgment and Punishment aren't to be scared of, provided you have decent MDEF. Omega's 'punch' is the lucky part - will the girl hit receive itchy, poison or confusion status? In worst case she may get KO-ed - nothing you can do to prevent that, except reviving her. Unfortunately there is also no way to predict when Judgment or Punishment will be used. OSF is more challenging. Besides Judgment and Punishment, it has also gained Flare, Osmose, Dispel and ability to copy your moves. Therefore be careful of what you use against Omega. Its punch now deals only phd with no statuses attached to it. As battle starts, you'll notice Omega just sits there, doing nothing. Don't let it fool you - as soon as you make a move against it, it'll counter. You should consider using your most powerful attacks - don't attack Omega while it's in moving motion, or else your combos won't register. Sometimes Omega will act on its own and use one of many attacks it has. Temporary POSSE are a waste of time, as they'll simply get dispeled. ***************************************************************************** PAIRIKA, LARVA species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 1130 | 312 | 124 | 1 | 100 | WKN | NTH | ABS | NTH | IMM | WKN ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- PET, SLE, SIL, CON, BER, CUR, STOP, %DMG ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Stamina Spring | Lightning Marble | Lightning Gleam Lightning Gleam | Yellow Ring | Lightning Gleam ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

It also excels at EVA, making it hard to connect for physical attacks - in this case you may want to consider using magic instead? Peregrine has no fixed attack pattern. In OSF battle Peregrine loses Mind Pecker, but gains Blight and Silent Wings, making it extra hard for your mages to chuck magic in its direction. Still, this is nothing you couldn't possibly cure with Echo Screen or Antidotes. As Peregrine has improved EVA in this state, option to use magic is even more alluring. Both RGF and OSF have absolutely no status immunity, so lots of status changes can be abused, mainly darkness and sleep. ***************************************************************************** PHANTOM, REVENANT species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 1755 | 852 | 950 | 1 | 140 | WKN | NTH | NTH | NTH | ABS | WKN ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, STOP, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Phoenix Down | Hi-Potion | Mega-Potion 2x Phoenix Down | 2x Hi-Potion | Mega-Potion ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

After Fever is used, Phantom will be trying to protect itself by using Drain and Osmose. It casts Doom after 8 turns, then attack cycle repeats (but Fever is no longer used). ***************************************************************************** POP FRY, MACHINA species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 4293 | 0 | 220 | 1 | 100 | NTH | NTH | ABS | WKN | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, STOP, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Sleep Grenade | Sleep Grenade | none Petrify Grenade | Petrify Grenade | none ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Night Game - VS one chr - phd, induces darkness 4. Bite the Bullet - VS one chr - phd, induces silence :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Unlike in FFX, stealing from machina types enemies is useless and produces no effect. Almost all machinas rely solely on STR, so having good DEF and decent EVA is a general setup for these bastards. This machina can darkness and silence your girls, as well as put them to sleep, so extra caution in form of say Ribbon is welcome. Be very careful of its Triple Play attack, therefore don't joke with Pop Fry too long. Kick its metallic ass and move on. ***************************************************************************** PROTEAN GEL, GEL species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 6680 | 9999 | 1800 | 1 | 380 | *** | *** | *** | *** | IMM | NTH 16700 | 9999 | 2400 | 2 | 580 | *** | *** | *** | *** | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, [EJE], SLOW, STOP, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG, DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- White Ring [CeruleanRng]| Blue Ring [ShortCircut]| Black Lore [Black Lore] NulFrostRing[CeruleanRng]| NulTideRing[ShortCircut]| Black Lore [Black Lore] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Bash'> - FRATTP VS one chr - fractional phd, tears off 56,125% MAX HP 2.

[Absorb *insert element* disabled.] - when damage is done, it may disable already activated absorption one element (except gravity and holy) 4. [Lv3 element magic] - VS all chrs - respective type of mgd 5. Barrier Shift :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Stars you see in elemental section denote that element weaknesses will change during battle, depending on actions you take. You have an extremely hard task at hand here. Gel doesn't use any element magic at all in RGF, meaning you'll have to rely on Scan of your gun mages. If girl gets 'bash'-ed, heal her immediately, for if she takes another hit, she goes KO. If you can't be bothered by scanning, use holy attacks instead or nonelemental attacks. If bastard takes HP or MP damage in RGF, it will use Barrier Shift, which will change its elemental affinities. Shift can be used even without you ever attacking it - it does so to make sure you're always on your toes. OSF - 'bash' properties are retained, but Barrier Shift is lost. Gel will, each time it takes HP or MP damage, change one of element attributes - either it will become immune to one or will disable already activated immunity. Furthermore it can now pelt you with lv3 element magic. ***************************************************************************** PROTOCHIMERA, CHIMERA species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 420 | 210 | 80 | 1 | 120 | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH | IMM | NTH 1680 | 210 | 144 | 2 | 210 | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, [CON], CUR, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Potion [NulShockRng]| Potion [NulFrostRng]| Fire Gem [NulShockRng] PhoenixDown [NulBlazeRng]| Yellow Ring[NulTideRing]| Red Ring [Tetra Band] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Punch'> - VS one chr - phd, induces poison 2. - LATT VS one chr (RGF)/all chrs (OSF) - light mgd 3.

Absorb - VS one chr - HP&MP stolen are added to Proto's HP&MP :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: OSF - Proto possesses following attack pattern, 'punch', 'punch', Absorb, 'punch', 'punch', Thundara. Which attack it will begin with, that is impossible to determine. Now that you know its attack pattern, you should be well prepared for the upcoming onslaught. If Proto proves to be too fast for you, slow it down - or stop it completely. Have Poisonproof tucked away to avoid being poisoned by its PATK. RGF - its attack pattern becomes irregular and you can no longer predict what will be used in next turn. Proto loses Absorb, and its Thundara now hits all girls. Real fun begins once Proto loses 66% of HP - on first turn it gets it will berserk itself and lose all of the abilities. Instead it gains Brute Force, a beefed up version of 'punch' - it inflicts moderate damage and always strikes critical. ***************************************************************************** PURPUREA, PLANT species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 196 | 0 | 14 | 1 | 18 | WKN | NTH | NTH | HLV | NTH | NTH 784 | 0 | 40 | 2 | 55 | WKN | NTH | NTH | HLV | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- DAR, POI, CON, [BER], CUR DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Echo Screen [3x Remedy] | Echo Screen[2xEchoScren]| Remedy [Remedy] 2xEchoScreen[4x Remedy] | Remedy [2x Remedy] | Remedy [Remedy] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Seed Burst'> - VS one chr - phd, 8 hits 2. [MP Crush] - VS one chr - causes MP damage, 8 hits :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: RGF - this plant fiend luckily doesn't have Seed Cannon type attacks like its bigger brethren, but it still proves to be a pest. Using fire attacks against this bastard is your quick plant-be-gone solution. OSF is somewhat annoying, cos Purpurea gains MP Crush, an attack which reduces girl's MP, so if you have jobs around which rely on MP, they won't last long. As far as statuses go, stone it or make it suffer with slow and stop statuses. ***************************************************************************** QUADRICORN, RUMINANT species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 188 | 0 | 4 | 1 | 13 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH 752 | 0 | 16 | 2 | 72 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- [CON], CUR DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Potion [3xHi-Potion]| BudgetGrend[Hi-Potion] | BudgetGrend[MegaPhoenix] PhoenixDown [4xHi-Potion]| PhoenixDown[2xHi-Potion]| BudgetGrend[MegaPhoenix] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Bash'> - VS one chr - phd 2.

[Stampede] - VS one chr - heavy phd :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: A fiend relying solely on physical force. Able to use 'bash' only in RGF, Quadri is remotely easy fiend to handle. So setting protect in place is wise choice, as is inflicting darkness on Quadri, making it hard for it to connect with PATK. Put it to sleep, or apply slow or stop status, making it quite an easy prey. In OSF Quadri has access to few more attacks, namely Skewer, Berserk and Stampede. Latter can only be performed after Quadri berserks itself. Prior to that move you'll have to make due with 'bash' and Skewer still. Once Quadri has less than 33% HP remaining, it's berserk time. Still, darkness in effect will prevent it from becoming a serious threat (slow or stop can be applied as well). ***************************************************************************** QUEEN COEURL, COEURL species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 3270 | 1340 | 208 | 1 | 330 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH 12480 | 1400 | 405 | 2 | 610 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- PET, SLE, DAR, [CON], BER, CUR, SLOW, STOP, [MAG down], MDEF down, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- 2xPhonixDown[4x Ether] | PhoenixDown[MortalShock]| Ether [Turbo Ether] Ether [5x Ether] | Ether [MortalShock]| Ether [Turbo Ether] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. - VS one chr - inflicts KO; if girl resists KO, her HP is reduced to 1 instead 2. - VS one chr(RGF)/all chrs(OSF)- respective type of mgd 3.

[Dispel] - VS all chrs - shatters most POSSE 6. White Highwind - on all allies - recovers 37,5% of MAX HP, removes poison, silence, darkness, berserk, confuse, sleep :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: She might prove to be quite a tough cookie. She alternates between Death Blast and lv3 element magic. Unless girls are wearing Deathproof, they'll get KO-ed. I would suggest buying Angel Earrings in Guadosalam. To take care of element magic, have songstress perform Samba of Silence. Confusion is another saviour - silence shuts it up for good, and latter offers a chance for you to learn White Wind. OSF form is far more entertaining. As you whittle its HP down, its MAG will increase - therefore do not dawdle for too long. Lv3 elements are no longer targeted as single, but all girls instead. Blast is still used, but not so often. If you try to protect these girls with POSSE, don't bother - Coeurl knows Dispel. Even in OSF you can silence it, effectively making this a victory move. ***************************************************************************** RECOIL, BANDOLEER species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 38 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 10 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, POI, CUR, DOOM ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Potion | Budget Grenade | none Phoenix Down | Phoenix Down | none ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Osmose - VS one chr - MP stolen is added to Red's MP :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Like all elementals - rob it of all MP and it becomes a kitten. Unless it steals the MP back, which is what it'll do for sure. Sporting very high resistance to PATK, using ice magic is the way to go. On each 3rd turn it uses Magic Up, which increases damage it can do by MATK. Silence on Red is effective way of not being worried ever. Fireproof or better will ensure you take no damage from its magic. That is for RGF - but what about OSF? It gains nothing new, only thing worth mentioning is that each time Red loses 20% of HP, its MAG stat will decrease, making its MATK less powerful. Effects can be reversed by raising its HP, but why would you want to do that? ***************************************************************************** RHYOS, CHIMERA species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 4360 | 485 | 650 | 1 | 310 | HLV | NTH | IMM | HLV | IMM | NTH 14440 | 485 | 1000 | 2 | 550 | HLV | NTH | IMM | HLV | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, [CON], CUR, STOP, DOOM, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- LitningGleam[NulTideRing]| LitningGem [LitninGleam]| Electroctnr[TetraGloves] WateryGleam [NulTideRing]| LitninGleam[LitninGleam]| Electroctnr[TetraGloves] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Punch'> - sometimes STATTP VS one chr - phd, induces poison; can deal universal dmg by reducing hit girl's HP to 1 (OSF) 2. - LATT VS all chrs - light mgd 3.

Which attack it will begin with, that is impossible to determine. Now that you know its attack pattern, you should be well prepared for the upcoming onslaught. If Rhyos proves to be too fast for you, slow it down. None of element attacks prove to be too useful as well. RGF - its attack pattern becomes irregular and you can no longer predict what will be used in next turn. Rhyos retains all of the same attacks as in RGF, with the exception of its 'punch' sometimes reducing hit girl's HP to 1. Real fun begins once Rhyos loses 66% of HP - on first turn it gets it will berserk itself and lose all of the abilities. Instead it gains Brute Force, a beefed up version of 'punch' - it inflicts moderate damage and always strikes critical. ***************************************************************************** RUFFIAN ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 1480 | 45 | 90 | 1 | 250 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- CUR ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- 2x Potion | Grenade | Mega Phoenix Ether | S-Bomb | Mega Phoenix ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Even more HP than Zu, you're in for a lengthy battle. In RGF you'll be hit by 'bash' and Sonic Storm, with latter being used on each 6th turn Rukh gets. You MUST have Stoneproof, or else Rukh's bash will petrify you! Also apply protect to survive longer. Rukh's danger level is also bolstered by the fact that is immune to any magic and against most bad statuses (eject, here we come!). OSF is quite an obnoxious one as well. Rukh begins with Chicken Wing, which can KO your whole team, if bird is lucky enough to gain critical strike on all girls. Chicken will be followed by Hi-Potion Vortex, crappy attack which wipes 5 Phoenix Downs out of your inventory - is 2500 gil really that much to lose? Sonic Boom is used afterwards, and then 'bash' forever and ever.

It does at least somewhat good job in RGF state, where its Squirt Gun can inflict slow status on girl hit (also possible in OSF). But hey, it only has 60 HP, making that matter to be laughed at. In OSF Sahagin is also able to use Scum Spray, moderately annoying move that carries darkness. In that case switch to using lightning magic.

If your EVA is decent, all of its 'headbutts' will miss. RGF Worm will use 'headbutt' until it successfully deals damage four times, and then prepare a charge turn for Earthquake - beware, this attack delays your girls a bit. If you'd like to evade it, set berserk on Worm. If Worm is OSF and loses 66% of its HP, it will use Rage on first turn it gets. You don't have to really worry about Rage, as it can't kill you.

Packing huge HP it'll cause you some problems in defeating it. Luckily for you its physicals aren't so strong, but it is still a wise idea to apply protect. Be careful of Sonic Boom, which is used after Shantak's HP has been changed 7 times. It can be slowed down, or killed instantly (provided you have some means of doing so already). OSF is dangerous, when battle's initiating. Shantak begins with Chicken Wing, which can KO your whole team, if bird is lucky enough to gain critical strike on all girls. Chicken will be followed by Potion Vortex, crappy attack which wipes 5 Potions out of your inventory - boohoo, so much gil. Sonic Boom is used afterwards, and then 'bash' forever and ever. Status immunity is the same as in RGF. ***************************************************************************** SHE-GOON ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 7 | 38 | 1 | 1 | 30 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- CUR ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Potion | Budget Greande | Budget Grenade Phoenix Down | Phoenix Down | Phoenix Down ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Demi can't kill you, but Slurp can (used very frequently on start of battle), if you have really low HP and MDEF. On top of it, it makes the girl itchy.

[Desperate Strike] - STATTP VS one chr - universal phd, formula [reptile's MAX HP - current HP = damage], sometimes used as counter :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Quite the oddball, this chappy. In its regular form, it ain't dangerous, for it only sports your usual Poison Fang and 'bite' attacks. For former equip Star Pendants or other acc that guard against poison, and the latter can be shrugged off by protect. In OSF form Skink loses Poison Fang, but its 'bite' gains the bonus of adding confusion and slow on girl attacked - cure confusion immediately! In addition, whatever damage you inflicted so far, will be returned to the girl attacked with Desperate Strike. In this case, maximum damage you can expect to receive is 3640 damage (back attack bonus, critical bonus). So if you wanna live, have all three gals concentrate their attacks at Gecko in one swift combo. There's no way it can possibly survive that. Or in more proffesional way - stone it. That way we'll see just how desperate it really is, hehe. ***************************************************************************** SPINE DRAKE, DRAKE species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 2582 | 82 | 226 | 1 | 127 | NTH | IMM | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH 8826 | 103 | 378 | 2 | 208 | NTH | IMM | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- SLE, DAR, POI, [CON], [BER], CUR, SLOW, [STR down] DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Arctic Wind [3x Ice Gem] | Arctic Wind[NulFrostRng]| NulFrostRng[Snow Ring] NulFrostRing[4x Ice Gem] | Ice Gem [NulFrostRng]| NulFrostRng[Snow Ring] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Bash'> - VS one chr - phd 2.

It follows attack pattern of using four 'bash'-es, followed by its breath attack, then repeat. It's immune to both sleep and darkness. A way of stopping it in its tracks would be to apply stop, petrification or insta-kill means of disposal. Having ice reducing stuff equipped isn't a bad idea either. In OSF all drake fiends follow analogy, similar to elemental fiends. Lower drake's HP gets, lower its strength gets. On the other hand, all drake fiends are capable of restoring HP with curative magic (set reflect on them to get the curing instead). Gun girls will be continuously pelted by Gun-Hater - either apply protect or use jobs that don't require guns. ***************************************************************************** STALWART, ARMOR species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 1240 | 175 | 122 | 1 | 100 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH 1312 | 175 | 202 | 2 | 210 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, [CON], BER, CUR, SLOW, STOP, DEF down, MDEF down, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- PhoenixDown [Black Ring] | PhoenixDown[DiamondGlvs]| Shadow Gem [Shadow Gem] Shadow Gem [Black Ring] | Gauntlets [DiamondGlvs]| Shadow Gem [Black Ring] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Smash'> - STATT VS one chr - phd 2. - FRATTP VS one chr - fractional phd, tears off 62,5% MAX HP 3.

Attack pattern consists only of Body Splash. Heal each girl that got hit, for she can't take second hit without being KO-ed. Eject, as usually, is one status fiend isn't immune against. You can also confuse it. OSF is more formiddable. First it'll reflect itself, then start cycling thru lv1, lv2 and lv3 elements, finishing the cycle with Holy. After Holy the cycle begins anew. If you throw any POSSE onto your girls, they'll be dispeled. If you dispel Stalwart's reflect, it will counter that action by using 'smash' once, followed by Body Splash. ***************************************************************************** TAKOUBA, BLADE species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 984 | 0 | 75 | 1 | 110 | WKN | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH 3936 | 0 | 122 | 2 | 185 | WKN | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- SLE, SIL, [CON], [BER], CUR, DEF down, MDEF down, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Phoenix Down[3xCandleLif]| PhoenixDown[4xCandleLif]| CandleLife [Safety Bit] Phoenix Down[4xCandleLif]| 2xCandleLif[4xCandleLif]| CandleLife [Safety Bit] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Swipe'> - VS one chr - phd 2. - VS one chr - phd 3.

However, battling this fiend isn't funny. Blade Rondo, used on each fourth turn, is very strong and always hits. To reduce damage you'll be taking, consider these options: Power Break on Takouba, or darkness it. Heck, it's even susceptible to slow and stop, as well as fire attacks. OSF is like a yoyo. You hit it, but it hits back. Heh, Frenzied Edge is the name of the move that will make your hair grow white pretty soon. Each time Takouba takes damage will be each time Takouba counters - and if you're hit four times without healing inbetween... there goes the KO, for Edge belongs to fractional type attacks. Blade Rondo is used as 8th move, regardless of past actions it took. ***************************************************************************** TAROMAITI, LARVA species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 1782 | 999 | 650 | 1 | 280 | WKN | NTH | ABS | NTH | IMM | WKN ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, STOP, DOOM, %DMG ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Star Pendant | 2x Antidote | Stamina Spring Venom Shock | 2x Stamina Spring | Stamina Spring ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

[Tentacle Slap] - VS one chr - phd, attacks five times in a row :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: RGF battle is a battle of being slow. Tentacle's 'slap' inflicts both darkness and slow, making it quite a drag of getting an attack in. If you'll be considering magic, avoid using gravity and water elements, as it absorbs them. By taking a look at its status immunities, you'll see there's a wide variety of NEGSE you can inflict - darkness and slow being worth mentioning. OSF battle is not much different that RGF. Still possessing 'slap', Tentacles also gains Tentacle Slap, which allows it to launch five attacks in a row. Luckily this series of attacks don't carry any funny statuses attached. ***************************************************************************** TINDALOS, LUPINE species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 3324 | 12 | 900 | 1 | 315 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH 7330 | 12 | 985 | 2 | 550 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- SLE, [CON], [BER], CUR, STOP, %DMG ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL NOTES ----------------------------- When oversouled, it loses immunity to stop.

[1000-Gil-Gnasher] - VS one chr - phd, total gil is decreased by 1000 :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: This is another one of not-dangerous-suckas when navigating the Farplane. Luckily it doesn't possess Killer Fang like its buddies, but has Mind Fang instead, which drains MP. Tindalos will alternate between Strength Up and 'bite' or Mind Fang moves until it builds STR up +10, at which point Strength Up is no longer used. Darknessing it is recommended. A couple of quick PATK will send Tindalos rolling. OSF is easier, but more annoying. For starters, it has lost its stupid Strength Up and Mind Fang moves. Instead it gained Sextuple Attack and 1000- Gil-Gnasher - former move always hits, regardless of your protection and whatnot, while later checks YRP's pockets to see how much cash they carry. Sextuple Attack's sequence can be interrupted by your girls attacking Lupus and dealing damage to it, but it won't cancel it completely (unless Tindalos enters pyrefly-mode). Seeing how it loses immunity to stop in OSF, use it to your advantage. ***************************************************************************** TOMB, DOOMSTONE species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 4820 | 999 | 480 | 1 | 130 | HLV | HLV | HLV | WKN | IMM | WKN ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, CUR, SLOW, STOP, DOOM, %DMG ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Remedy | Remedy | Faerie Earrings White Cape | Black Choker | Faerie Earrings ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

The small one is no danger at all, for its Chef's Knife strikes for about 100 damage at most. Bothersome is its amount of HP... OSF gains few new tricks. Chef's Knife still isn't dangerous, but Tonberry now has the ability to put you to sleep or poison you - as a last resort it can chuck Fira at all girls.

['Copycat move'] - OSF Ultima responds to following attacks by using the move you used against it unless specified otherwise - any black magic; any white magic except Auto-LifeHoly and Dispel; all Arcanas except Black Sky; Supernova and MP Absorb :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: How lucky do you think you are? Judgment and Punishment aren't to be scared of, provided you have decent MDEF. Ultima's 'punch' is the lucky part - will the girl hit receive poison or not? Unfortunately there is also no way to predict when Judgment or Punishment will be used. When getting low on HP, Ultima has few more aces up its sleeves (really?). First is using White Highwind to recover heaps of HP. Second is using Mighty Guard G, making it invincible to MATK and PATK (attacks that bypass protect and shell still work, for example Darkness). And finally, it will pull off Meteor, whose damage is based on MAX HP. Dangerous stuff, really. OSF is more challenging. Besides Judgment and Punishment, it has also gained Flare, Osmose, Dispel and ability to copy your moves. Therefore be careful of what you use against Ultima. Its punch now deals only phd with no statuses attached to it. As battle starts, you'll notice Ultima just sits there, doing nothing. Don't let it fool you - as soon as you make a move against it, it'll counter. You should consider using your most powerful attacks - don't attack Ultima while it's in moving motion, or else your combos won't register. Sometimes Ultima will act on its own and use one of many attacks it has. Temporary POSSE are a waste of time, as they'll simply get dispeled. ***************************************************************************** VARAN, IMP species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 1132 | 480 | 410 | 1 | 240 | WKN | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- SIL, CON, CUR, SLOW, STOP, MAG down, DOOM ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- Holy Water | Dispel Tonic | Dispel Tonic 2x Holy Water | 2x Dispel Tonic | Dispel Tonic ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Vespa's ACCU is pretty good, so you may want to keep some Antidotes handy should YRP get poisoned. OSF Vespa is easier - Sharpened Needle attack doesn't carry any negative statuses, but it grows progressively stronger each time Vespa manages to land a successful hit. Again high EVA or darkness on Vespa help rectify the situation.

Tick-Tick-BOOM! - VS one chr - phd, induces doom :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: An interesting enemy. Attack it two times, it grows. Attack it twice more, it grows again. Two more attacks and there goes the bomb. Occassional 'bash' and weak Fira magic can be shrugged off, and you can add many statuses onto poor Volcano. If it manages to somehow suicide, girl hit won't be killed, but will merely have HP reduced to 1. Secret? Have fire absorbing stuff equipped. Also, be careful of BOOM! - it adds doom status on girl hit. OSF is not much different, except that Firaga now hits all girls, and it also knows Flare. Then there's Sextuple Attack - six times the charm, I guess, hehe. It concentrates more on using magic than PATK, anyway. Only stuff it loses are its 'bash' and BOOM! ***************************************************************************** WASP QUEEN, WASP species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 7334 | 23 | 230 | 1 | 98 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH 9815 | 23 | 310 | 2 | 153 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, POI, CON, BER, CUR, SLOW, STOP, [STR down], DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- 2xPoisonFang[4xPoisonFng]| 2xPoisonFng[4xPoisonFng]| Poison Fang[Poison Fang] 2xPoisonFang[5xPoisonFng]| 2xPoisonFng[4xPoisonFng]| Poison Fang[Poison Fang] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

Not counting ever so annoying W.I.M.P. attack its Triple Shock attack will really mess you up in the status field. Guarding against sleep, darkness and poison is very welcome in fights against Queen. Else be prepared to use lots of Remedies and spherechange a lot. You can help yourself heaps if you inflict darkness on Queen, making it hard for her to connect with her physicals. OSF Queen is easier - Sharpened Needle attack doesn't carry any negative statuses, but it grows progressively stronger each time Queen manages to land a successful hit. Again high EVA or darkness on Queen help rectify the situation. ***************************************************************************** WHITE ELEMENTAL, ELEMENTAL species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 77 | 155 | 28 | 1 | 26 | WKN | ABS | IMM | IMM | NTH | NTH 308 | 155 | 53 | 2 | 50 | WKN | ABS | IMM | IMM | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- PET, SLE, CON, BER, CUR, [MAG down] DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- Potion [3xAntarcWnd]| AntarctcWnd[2xArcticWnd]| Ice Gem [Ice Gem] AntarcticWnd[4xAntarcWnd]| 2xAntarcWnd[3xArcticWnd]| Ice Gem [Ice Gem] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. - IATT VS one chr - ice mgd 2. - on self - [increases MAG by +2]; MAG power increases as this fiend's HP rises for each 20% it recovers (OSF) 3.

Iceproof or better will ensure you take no damage from its magic. That is for RGF - but what about OSF?

It also often appears in packs (fleeing is not cowardly, if it means survival). Where are your Angel Earrings and Safety Bit acc? You have to make sure girls won't subdue to Killer Fang. There's also an attack pattern too - 'bite' or Killer Fang being used for two turns, followed by Strength Up (thus increasing damage Fang can do with its PATK). Darkness it as well to raise your survival chances. OSF is easier, but more annoying. For starters, it has lost its stupid Strength Up and Killer Fang moves. Instead it gained Quadruple Attack and 1000-Gil-Gnasher - former move always hits, regardless of your protection and whatnot, while later checks YRP's pockets to see how much cash they carry.

'Bite' is all that Xipha will use, except when its HP falls below 75%. In this case it'll use El Nino on first turn it gets. Then we do have an attack pattern - three 'bite'-s, followed by El Nino. Make sure you defeat Xipha before its 4th turn, else it'll really slow you down by constantly adding slow on your girls. Tip: confuse or berserk it, and let me not forget stop and darkness. OSF gains one new attack, called Triple Attack. Be glad when it decides to use it, cos it means that you have three turns of nothing to worry about. Xipha no longer follows any distinctive attack pattern, meaning it can use El Nino whenever it wants, so tread carefully. It now becomes immune to confusion and berserk, but many other statuses can still be applied (like stop). ***************************************************************************** YAC-13, MECH species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 1380 | 0 | 80 | 1 | 25 | NTH | NTH | WKN | NTH | NTH | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- KO, PET, SLE, SIL, POI, CON, BER, CUR, SLOW, DOOM ---------- DROP ------------------- STEAL ------------------- BRIBE --------- S-Bomb | S-Bomb | none Silence Grenade | Sleep Grenade | none ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1.

[Dispel] - VS all chrs - shatters most POSSE :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FIGHTING TIPS :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: YSLS-99 won't hesitate in using Haymaker, which deals big damage. When you see it charging for an attack, it means it'll use Blast Punch - beware, this attack is quite dangerous, for it tears off 1/2 of target girl's MAX HP and damage cannot be reduced by shell or protect - so it's in your best interest to keep your HP above half at all times. On top it delays hit girl's next turn a lot. In OSF state this fiend is far more predictable, esp by letting you know which attacks it'll use. It gains the ability to inflict curse, poison and silence on your girls with moves called Curse Mode, Silence Mode and Bio Mode. When it enters one of the aforementioned modes, your party will be hit with three punches carrying respective NEGSE. In addition these type of punches will reduce hit girl's HP by 1/8, meaning you can be hit with it eight times before being KO-ed. When the punching is used three times, OFF Mode move is issued. Still, do not get careless, as it still has the ability to use Blast Punch and Haymaker - keeping HP up should be one priority. Incidentally, you can inflict curse, silence and poison on YSLS-99 yourself. Silence and curse are useless (this fiend doesn't use magic and why the heck would you give it curse status, I wonder), but poison can be quite good - for each HP you tear off, YRP is closer to victory. ***************************************************************************** ZU, ROC species ***************************************************************************** --------------------------------- STATISTICS -------------------------------- HP | MP | EXP | AP | GIL | FIR | ICE | LIG | WAT | GRA | HOL 9338 | 112 | 730 | 1 | 164 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH 10805 | 112 | 1320 | 2 | 340 | NTH | NTH | NTH | NTH | IMM | NTH ------------------------------- STATUS IMMUNITY ----------------------------- PET, SLE, DAR, POI, CON, BER, CUR, STOP, STR down, MAG down, DOOM, DELEF, ACTIC, %DMG DROP ------ [OS-DROP] --- STEAL ----- [OS-STEAL] -- BRIBE ----- [OS-BRIBE] -- 2xPhonixDown[Fiery Gleam]| PhoenixDown[CrimsonRing]| Blind Shock[Sublimator] Fiery Gleam [Fiery Gleam]| 2xPhonixDwn[CrimsonRing]| Blind Shock[Sublimator] ----------------------------------- ATTACKS --------------------------------- 1. <'Bash'> - VS one chr - phd 2. - VS one chr - phd 3.

Much more HP than Shantak, you're in for a lengthy battle. In RGF you'll be hit by 'bash' and Sonic Storm, with latter being used on each 6th turn Zu gets. Apply protect to survive longer. At this point of the game you should have some ways of inflicting KO (dark knight's Death perhaps), which is most beneficial bad status to be used against this overgrown bird. OSF is dangerous, when battle's initiating. Zu begins with Chicken Wing, which can KO your whole team, if bird is lucky enough to gain critical strike on all girls. Chicken will be followed by Phoenix Down Vortex, crappy attack which wipes 5 Phoenix Downs out of your inventory - boohoo, even more gil down the drain.

What's level-up-while-you-sleep thing? -- A052 Q067: What is the pause trick all about? ------------------------------- A053 ============================================================================= THE ANSWERS! ============================================================================= A001: You have to get Episode Complete for each of the 15 areas that cover Spira. If you receive at least one Episode Concluded, you will not get mascot this time around. Getting 100% is NOT required for mascot, Episode Complete for every area is. Well, why not just view this guide: db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_2_mascot_speed.txt A002: Yes. Den of Woe in Mushroom Rock, Via Infinito in Bevelle, Fiend Colony dungeon on Mi'ihen, Ruin Depths dungeon in Calm lands, O'aka's mission in Macalania Woods, Gunner's Gauntlet on Besaid in CH2 and bridal mission do NOT have to be completed in order to receive mascot. A003: By all means, no! This game was meant to be played again - that's why there's New Game Plus feature. If you're going for mascot, I can understand your desire to play again, but think about it. You'll have to start from scratch, without items, acc, DSP and abilities you've gained so far, you'll have to watch all the scenes again... True, in New Game Plus you have to do all the stuff again, but you get to *keep* what I mentioned above! And most scenes you've already seen can be skipped. A004: Once you beat the game by defeating final boss, let the game's credits roll. In the end a window will appear asking you if you wish to make New Game Plus data. Save the data in a different slot! New Game Plus allows you to replay the game infinitely. Here's just some basic info on what you keep: gil, DSP and abilities you've found/mastered, accessories, GG, all items except Gysahl Greens, all primers you've found so far, and 8 key items that enable songstress and SDSP to learn specific abilities. For more detailed explanation on what are all things that carry over, you should consult this guide: db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_2_new_game_plus.txt A005: This in-depth guide of fellow guide writer will answer it best: db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_2_ending.txt A006: You may have completed every mission, but did you do it *perfectly*? Most critical example of why people don't receive EPCOM is Moonflow - if you lose even one piece of luggage, or don't sell all 10 tickets with a profit or breaking even, you can't get EPCOM for Moonflow, no matter what you do. Second critical mistake players make is in CH3 - you have to visit every area of Spira so that Shinra installs his CommSpheres. There's 20 CommSpheres in total that must be installed. Doing so not only ensures that you get EPCOM in the areas, but also ensures you don't fail in getting mascot. As for the third critical mistake - you may have missed a CommSphere event. Believe it or not, but just because you didn't view a scene cos it may have been boring... just maybe that might have been the scene which screwed you out of the mascot. A007: That won't work at all. EPCOM in ALL AREAS OF SPIRA is required. You didn't get Isaaru to return to Bevelle, so you're screwed for mascot this time around. Play with caution next time around. A008: Yes. You have to side with Youth League and get Episode Complete for every area. You must also complete Den of Woe dungeon in Mushroom Rock, Ruin Depths dungeon in Calm lands, and defeat Mr T. on floor 100 of Via Infinito. A009: Yes. As I said, make sure you choose Youth League. Follow my guide by the letter and you will receive 100% in one playthru. If you're having trouble following my guide, then I suggest you check out one of three 100% guides, made specifically for that purpose: db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_2_100_story.txt db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_2_100_story_na.txt db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x2_100_perfect.txt A010: I have made an in-depth BOSS guide, which includes great details on how to defeat any and all bosses in the game (not to mention I find it very difficult to believe boss strats in *this* guide can't 'help' you): db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_2_boss.txt A011: Okay, let's try something else. Many bosses that aren't 'unique' can be defeated by one of the cheese ways listed below: - Bribe - the usual formula is: fiend's MAX HP x6,25 = Bribe; just to be on the safe side, have lady luck try her luck with x8 - Eject - berserker's Eject, thief's Steal Will, trainer's Carrier Flurry or Kogoro Strike have a chance of ejecting the enemy - Spare Change - samurai uses extra gil to inflict special damage on enemies - Charon - dark knight with at least 5000 MAX HP will deal 9999 damage with this ability - naturally, you'll lose dark knight, but if it takes out the boss you're having trouble with... - Random Reels - getting 777 on lady luck's Random Reels is thrice the charm - you get cash and items from all enemies, enemies leave the battle (assuming they aren't immune to Bribe), and you also score EXP, cash and AP for 'defeating' them in battle - Zantetsu - samurai's ability, which works on any and all enemies; of course, expect (some) enemies to have (very) high resistance to it A012: All this and more is covered in Chocobo Ranch guide I made: db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_2_chocobo.txt A013: All this and more is covered in Blue Bullet guide I made: db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_2_blue_bullet.txt A014: It just so happens that I have an in-depth guide covering that: db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_2_dress_grid_locations.txt A015: It just so happens that I have an in-depth guide covering that: db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_2_dress_grid_locations.txt A016: Again, I have written an in-depth guide for this issue: db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_2_gunner_gauntlet.txt A017: In-depth guide here: db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_2_reels_and_dice.txt A018: You should check out my Mix guide here: db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_2_mix.txt A019: Optional Missions guide will be your destiny: db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_2_optional.txt A020: You *must* help Rin in the investigation, which is started in order to explain why did machina go haywire in CH3 and why did hover crash in CH2. As there's many a choices to be made in Rin's Mi'ihen Mystery, you should check out this guide I've made (also, if you're shooting for 100% in one go, you must get Rikku as the culprit!): db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_2_rin_mystery.txt A021: You prolly didn't had Shinra set up extra CommSphere or didn't attack the machina on the ledge in the way I specified. If this is the case, do this (save your game first, so that you can retry in case something misfires in CH5): in lv1 gather enough VS Rikku evidence, in lv2 gather enough evidence for someone else (most likely choice will be Eater) and in lv3 gather enough VS Rikku evidence. Voila! A022: Oh my, a lot of stuff, huh? Iron Duke - defeat Mr T. on floor 100 of Via Infinito Enterprise - skip Moonflow mission in CH1, then Tobli appears in front of Cabin in CH2; push him in the lift first, followed by other musicians Invincible - talk to cameraman on the boat in Kilika in CH1 and 3; when you're in CH5, talk to him again and choose to go across to the island; check the square shape in the minimap Cat Nip - defeat Black Elemental on floor 40 of Via Infinito in CH5 Force of Nature - in CH5 after rescue mission in New Cave on Thunder plains in, enter the cave; clear it once, then enter it again; again solve all 16 riddles and chest with this acc will appear Wring - in 'Bevelle - gaol' screen; for details on how to reach the chest check Storyline Mission 8 entry Bloodlust - same instructions as for Wring Minerva's Plate - attempt Moonflow mission in CH1, but DO NOT TALK TO TOBLI; ensure that all five bags are safe; then complete the Macalania mission in CH2 involving the musicians; afterwards return to the Hypello found in 'Macalania Woods - south' and speak to it Adamantite - reach lv MAX in Beclem's version Gunner's Gauntlet; you can only receive one copy of this accessory ever AP Egg - blitz prize; or get one in Calm Lands - Ruin Depths dungeon Charm Bangle - steal one from Mr B. first time you fight him, Slim drops one in one of many fights with him, or buy one from Open Air company in Calm lands while they're still at lv1 publicity Heady Perfume - massage LB., but fail first time around; any attempt afterwards will award you with Heady Perfume Key to Success - do NOT attempt Gagazet mission in CH3; also, at least one of Tobli-related missions must be done perfectly (I got Key to Success by only completing Macalania musicians quest in CH2); in CH5 enter Tobli's office and open the chest Ragnarok - Rikku must be the culprit in Rin's Mi'ihen Mystery Ribbon - Bribe oversouled Flailing Ochu, Ultima Weapon or Omega Weapon Should the above information not prove satisfactory to you, or if you need info on where to find other acc, here's a link to Accessory FAQ: http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_2_accessory.txt A023: Here's some fast ways to attain these items quickly. Mega-Potion - Bribe Elder Drake or Phantom Megalixir - a steady income is provided by Bribing Earth Worm Soul Spring - bribe Wight or Lich A024: Most fiends belong to fiend-type. Once you kill predetermined amount of fiends that belong to specific fiend-type, next fiend from that fiend- type oversouls. Amount of fiends needed to kill for one to oversoul will appear below. Also, once a fiend oversouls, you DO NOT have to kill it in order to have it registered in Shinra's bestiary. Once the fiend oversouls, you can run away and it will still count. This also involves neat trick: let's say you're only left with oversouling Spine Drake and Greater Drake. Kill enough Drake fiends so that one oversouls and run away. Now seek out Spine Drake - it will oversoul! Escape and do the same for Greater Drake. And as a final note: Oversoul counter and data on fiends oversouled so far carries onto New Game Plus. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Helm = 14 | Lupine = 22 | Bird = 12 | Cephalopod = 8 Reptile = 18 | Wasp = 18 | Flan = 20 | Plant = 12 Sahagin = 12 | Ruminant = 12 | Elemental = 16 | Blade = 14 Chimera = 12 | Ogre = 8 | Roc = 12 | Drake = 18 Basilisk = 10 | Fungus = 12 | Haizhe = 14 | Worm = 24 Dinofish = 16 | Gel = 22 | Behemoth = 20 | Dragon = 6 Ochu = 12 | Coeurl = 14 | Armor = 18 | Malboro = 24 Bomb = 14 | Iron Giant = 10 | Arachnid = 8 | Defender = 14 Hermit = 7 | Geo = 4 | Spirit Beast = 6 | Eater = 6 Adamant = 9 | Weapon = 10 | Sacred Beast = 10| Tonberry = 16 Vermin = 12 | Cactuar = 15 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- A025: You best look at this chart below: OVERSOUL SUBJECTS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- PAGE 1, LEFT | PAGE 1, RIGHT | PAGE 2, LEFT | PAGE 2, RIGHT ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sallet 07| Bicocette 10| Agama 13| Skink 21 Barbuta 21| Armet 24| Anole 24| Archaeothyris 33 Bascinet 41| Heavy Sallet 50| Lacerta 81| Death Dauber 04 Coyote 01| Wild Wolf 10| Assassin Bee 21| Aculeate 30 Killer Hound 13| White Fang 16| Vespa 36| Wasp Queen 50 Canis Major 36| Lupus 47| Flan Azul 01| Flan Amarillo 10 Tindalos 61| Divebeak 01| Flan Palido 13| Flan Blanco 21 Peregrine 21| Aquila 44| Flan Rojo 36| Flan Azabache 65 Tentacles 36| Gecko 04| Purpurea 04| Leucophylla 24 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- PAGE 3, LEFT | PAGE 3, RIGHT | PAGE 4, LEFT | PAGE 4, RIGHT ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cephalotus 30| Sahagin 04| Takouba 07| Barong 47 Sahagin Prince 30| Sahagin Chief 50| King Takouba 50| Protochimera 16 Nashorn 01| Quadricorn 01| Rhyos 41| Hrimthurs 10 Balivarha 41| Ahriman 01| Gigas 30| Gug 70 Fly Eye 10| Vertigo 13| Shantak 13| Zu 27 Grim Gaze 41| YellowElemental04| Rukh 50| Lesser Drake 07 White Elemental 07| Red Elemental 04| Spine Drake 36| Bolt Drake 24 Gold Elemental 10| Blue Elemental 33| Greater Drake 47| Elder Drake ??

A027: You need to find two key items that enable her to learn them. - collect all 10 Crimson Spheres and complete Den of Woe dungeon and you will receive Magical Dances, Vol. I key item - defeat Experiment in Djose temple while all its attributes are at lv5 and you will receive Magical Dances, Vol. II key item A028: For each girl you have to find a key item that enables them to learn Break HP Limit and Break Damage Limit abilities. And - CH5 ONLY! Corpus Invictus: Inside Thunder Plains - New Cave, AFTER you've been on a rescue mission there. Victor Primoris: You must be able to ride chocobos - this is possible if you complete Rin's Mi'ihem Mystery and get any suspect but Prophet! Mi'ihen 'Highroad - newroad, N' - look carefully for a chocobo feather. Stand on it a few seconds (be patient!) and then select [Am I ever!], when choices pop up - nab the first chest. Leave this screen and then return to the EXACT SAME SPOT. Again wait - this time it takes some time before choices appear. Select [Am I ever!] again and voila. Aurora Rain: Calm lands, cavern of smelly faith. Enter the fayth chamber, check the chest and voila. Twilight Rain: Besaid - waterfall way. Southernmost of the bridges (according to minimap) has a spot behind it at which you can drop down to some rocks. Check the chest and voila. Machina Booster: Mushroom - Headquarters lift. Look below the lift for a chest - and voila. Machina Reactor: Calm lands - Ruins depths dungeon. Open the dungeon by following the steps provided in my Chocobo ranch guide. Then refer to the map I'll give below to find where this item is hiding - voila. db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_2_chocobo_dungeon.gif A029: SDSP cannot be placed on GG; you can change into them only when a girl has been in every DSP on her GG. Let's say you have Protection Halo GG equipped for Yuna with gunner, warrior, thief, black mage, and white mage on it, and she starts off as gunner in battle. In order to change into Floral Fallal, she must change into warrior, thief, black mage, and white mage DSP. After that, bring up the GG and press R1 for her SDSP. When you use SDSP, the other two girls disappear. You lose Rikku & Paine, and now you have a party of Yuna along with two other 'parts'. SDSP are not given to you in the beginning of the game; you must find them before you can use them. Note: You can easily see what path you took on specific GG by looking at the connecting lines - ones you've already taken are displayed in blue. Note that you do NOT have to cross all lines before SDSP is available - it matters that you change into each DSP on the GG. A030: If you've run out of people to promote to, all is not lost. Play Sky Slots minigame for THE COMPANY YOU'RE ADVERTISING FOR. Every time you *lose* 200 credits in the minigame, you get 1 PR point. Get 400+ points for the company, then beam on Celsius. Now talk to MN and Calm lands will become HS. There you go. A031: It is possible, but tiring. What you must do is: select to advertise for Argent first. In CH1 or 2 (doesn't really matter, tho') MAKE SURE you get at least 802+ points for Argent. Now switch companies - Argent's PR rating will go down to 401+ (which is still enough for Lv5), while Open Air's starts at 0. Simply accrue over 401+ points for Open Air by CH5 and you're good to go. Playing lots of Sky Slots is a necessity in this scenario! In CH5 you will then be able to buy complete sets of rewards from both companies, as well as open both extra minigames. A032: Er, hard to say. If you're going for GG, then you may consider it. Each company sells one GG if it's brought to lv5 publicity - each of these GG will cost you 200000 credits. It appears as ?????? on the 'Trade in credits' menu. Also, you must get *one* company to lv5 for 100% - getting both produces same effect and awards no extra %. A033: There's a max PR level per CH. In CH1 it is lv2, in CH2 it is lv3, and in CH3 it is lv4. A034: Certainly not. Sky Slots will become your best friend for about one hour, hehe. What does this mean? Buy whole bunch of credits from the representative of the company you're advertising for. Then address same person and choose to play Sky Slots. Make sure you LOSE credits. After losing specific amount of credits, you gain 1 PR point. Continue to play and lose credits until you gain 400+ points. Once that is done, get on Celsius. Now talk to MN and Calm lands will turn into HS. Episode Complete! A035: Your call. For me, all of those five minigames blow. Anything and everything you can win are just extra credits. I can easily buy them, so why bother in the first place? A036: In my opinion, it sucks. It isn't important for 100%, EPCOM, doesn't add any % and is plain boring. Only two rewards you can receive are: 0 to 29 points Elixir, and from 30+ onward Speed Bracer. Woot woot? Your call. A037: Gippal's - Pin Rin in Rin's Mi'ihen Mystery. Details are found in my guide by same name. Baralai's - Get EPCOM in Guadosalam. Then return to Guadosalam and talk to Tromell, who will unlock the closed door in NW part. Inside you'll find the sphere in one of the chests. Nooj's - You must side with Youth League. Get EPCOM for Mushroom. Enter Youth League HQ and go to War Room. Now find the long balcony and speak to Lucil. A038: There's 10 towers available for calibration. You MUST attempt all of them at least once, and you MUST calibrate five of them perfectly (I suggest 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6). Only then will you receive the GG from tech in the agency. A039: It's to the left of tower 8. Keep hugging left end of the area and mash X until Yuna spots the tower across the lake. A040: This one depends. I only do it to get that GG, than I forget about it - not worth the frustration (blows up towers 7, 8 and 10). Also, amount of successful calibrations affects the rewards you receive in CH5 when doing a subquest here. Your call if you wish to bother for them, however, know this: all of the items you'll receive can be found elsewhere in easier ways. Oh, and it doesn't affect % in any way. Only thing it will affect is you being frustrated. A041: Okay, here's their hideouts... 1st: Bikanel - Oasis. 2nd: Besaid - beach. 3rd: Guadosalam - secret passageway. In the room just ahead from SSP. 4th: Calm lands - bridge between Gagazet and Calm lands screen. 5th: Same as 4th Cactuar. 6th: N-most end of 'TP - north'. There's a shelter-like structure found in this area - look for Cactuar stone opposite of it. If you're looking for it in CH5, finish Fallen Genius subquest first. 7th: It's hiding all the way on Kilika. As you enter Kilika forest, go like this - N over the bridge, then E. Pay attention now! First tree you'll see bending over the water is your cue - a mark to press Circle will appear in lower right, so do it. Get all needles you need up here. 8th: Beam to Gagazet. If you already got Episode Complete for Gagazet, you'll appear near the top, in which case you need to drop down, then go right. Make it to 'G - prominence' - there's a spot of greenery to be found here. If you haven't achieved Episode Complete yet, you'll appear at the base of Gagazet - in this case use teleporter here, then it's just few more steps up until you reach the clearing mentioned before. 9th: Kilika in Dona's house. FIN: Once you deliver 9th Cactuar, speak to Cactuar mom of final Cactuar, then speak to Marnela. Enter Cactuar Hollow in Cactuar Nation and make it to the end. A042: You're only required to beat Frailea to get the GG. If you fail first time around, beat Angra. Now return to Cactuar Nation and challenge Frailea for as many times you want (it'll be one of the Cactuars who are forming a circle in the middle of Cactuar Nation). A043: Literally all oversoulable enemies can be found in Via Infinito in CH5 on various floors (don't ask me which, refer to Monster Guide for that info). Only exceptions are: - Georapella and Precepts Guard, who can be fought infinitely anyway in Bevelle - forbidden area by checking respective tower - Chocobo Eater, Anything Eater, Jumbo Cactuar, King VERMIN!, Azi Dahaka: these must be killed in their respective subquests first, only then will they appear in Via Infinito A044: Know that any and all Elders and Megas can be avoided. You just need to look around and use the environment to your advantage. Also, once you engage in battle with Elder or Mega, that was *seen* on the screen, you cannot escape - you will have to kill it. If you simply cannot back down from a challenge and must kill that Elder or Mega that's been laughing at you all this time, mastered berserker with Force of Nature will make mincemeat out of Elder in no time. As for Mega, having great DEF is a must, for even at 255 DEF with protect in place Mega will tear off 1000 HP, not to mention it's quite fast in launching Chef's Knife. A045: Any other ability works, EXCEPT No Encounters (and one other exception found below). Sorry. A046: This is other exception I've mentioned. Regardless of protection you have, Chac's Stony Glare will petrify girls. Use Remedy, Soft or Esuna ASAP. There's more instances where Ribbon fails: Mushroom Cloud's Powder will induce itchy, and Mega Tonberry's Karma will add confusion regardless. A047: A list, huh? CS1 : CH3 - Bevelle, limbo - AFTER completing Kilika and Besaid HS, but BEFORE defeating boss of Djose HS, return to Bevelle. Make it all the way down to where you fought Dark B. After the scene kill Malboro in battle, then pick up the sphere. CS2 : CH3 - received automatically. CS3 : CH3 - received automatically. CS4 : CH3, 5 - Guadosalam, hidden passage - proceed thru the hallway until you reach SSP. Now turn left and thru the circular door. Take a look at minimap - see how there's a shape of 'C' letter around the room where you're in? And at the base it seems to be connected? That's your clue - directions provided now are based on minimap. Have Yuna turn S and climb stack of boxes by holding Circle. Climb up higher once more and you'll be on the catwalk. Make it all the way around and storm the chest. CS5 : CH4 - Celsius, engine room - After Yuna's concert is finished, DO NOT TALK to Shinra. Instead go down to engine room. CS6 : CH5 - Bevelle, Via Infinito - enter Cloister 0 and you will find it in plain sight after initial scene ends. CS7 : CH2 - Go to Mushroom rock - ravine. Again drop in the ravine and make it all the way N. Enter the cave near the SSP. CS8 : CH5 - Bevelle, Via Infinito - enter Cloister 20, defeat the boss and you will find it in plain sight. CS9 : CH1 - Mushroom - while doing 'Foggy Fiend Frenzy' mission, drop in the ravine and make it all the way N. Enter the cave near the SSP - when scene ends, it's yours. CS10: CH2 - Guadosalam - Once you defeat Fatso, enter Slim's room (just follow the red arrow). You'll see the sphere in plain sight. A048: Sorry, but no. All CS, except CS4, are chapter exclusive. If you missed any, you'll have to get it/them in New Game Plus. A049: Sorry, but no. EPCOMs do not carry over, so you'll have to do everything that is required for mascot yet again. Still, the requirement list is not big, so it shouldn't take you long to claim mascot. A050: You have Minerva's Plate acc equipped. Remove it and YRP will be rolling in EXP in no time. A051: You have Lure Bracer acc equipped. Remove it. A052: First go to following URL (pic provided by GDD): kolardamir.com/ffx2/easy-level-and-money/!GetMoneyTrick.jpg GDD also comments: You need 2 (rubber) bands & 1 piece of anything to press X. Left analog stick to left direction because it has no function during battles. Prepare for the first battle and then let it run for a few hours to become level 99 and rich. Floor 65 of Via Infinito is good cos of Earth Worm that appears on this floor. Equipment and attack should be Yuna in lady luck DSP, Rikku in lady luck DSP and Paine in white mage DSP, all three with Highroad Winds GG. You may consider optional Lure Bracer acc. Attack sequence goes: Paine Pray, Yuna attacks and Rikku attacks. A053: The pause trick allows you to get CONGRATS! rather easily: To get CONGRATS! easily, repeatedly press Start while the reels are spinning and press X when the 7 is near the middle. If you time it right, the 7 should land on the bottom. Repeat for remaining reels. ============================================================================= ============================================================================= 22.)
