Hints and tip for Final Fantasy X

That kid that said something about the ultimate aeon Penance is a lie Penace is not an aeon and you can't cotrol him.Dark Anima dose exist but I will go into detail later .

Anyway here is all you need to know about the dark aeons and Penace and a statagy for each of them.

Dark Valefor.

Besaid Village,village entrance.

HP:800,000

Dark Valefor is the weakest dark aeon.One or two of your characters should by now have Break HP Limit,Auto-Haste,and(if possible)Auto-Phoenix.Brak Damage Limit is stongly recommened.in order to assign Break HP Limit to a peice of amour,win 30 "Wings To Discovery" during the chocbo race beneath Remium Temple you must beat the other chocobo and open 3 treasure chests.Make sure all your characters' attributes are well into three digits.Dark Valefor is in the habit of useing "Energy Ray" as his attack of choice,inflicting massive damage on your three heroes.

Make sure you cast Auto-Life and Shell in time.You should try and intercept your opponent's Overdrive by sending an aeon in battle beforehand.

Incidently this tactic is also useful against other dark aeons.But if you like you could save before the fight with a lot of Gil and pay Yojimbo tons of Gil and hope he'll unleash Zanmato.

Dark Ifrit.

Sanubia Desert-West.

HP:1,400,000

Even from a distance you will spot the women in the far north of the desert,beside the former passage to the Home of the Al Bhed.talk to her and agree to look for her child.the battle will only start if you pay another visit to the ravine in the north.

Dark Ifrit will counter all attacks and his own attack will inflict massive damage as well as having a delay effect.

His Overdrive is non-elemental and cannot be countered with fire protection.As always, sheild yourself by sarificing an aeon.

it would also help if Tidus and Wakka have "Break Damage Limit" at their disposal,and they should have mastered the Blitz Ace and Attack Reels Overdrive Techniques.I will do another hint about Overdrives.

Dark Ixion.

Thunder Plains-North,near the Save Sphere.

HP:1,200,000

This aeon uses imensely powerful lightning-type attacks,but you will not be able to counter them using the corresponding abilaties.

Dark Ixion will counter each attack with an attack of his own,adding the Sleep status effect. Although you can use Dispel to lift Dark Ixion's Full Break effect,you'll find that only "Ribbon" offers adaquet protection.

After apparently defeating Dark Ixion, you'll find yourself engaged in a battle almost immediately.Luckily there's a Save Sphere nearby.

During the second battle you'll find that Dark Ixionhas lost his ability to counter.Although his attacks now cast confuse and and Break status effects,you should be able to put up with that.

Dark Shiva.

Macalania Temple,entrance.

HP:1,100,000.

Dark Shiva is incredible quick so you'll need a very high Agility figure. Her attacks dispell all positive spell effects,as well as casting Beserk and Confusion.Her Hevenly Strike has the Death effect,that even penertrates your Ribbons protection.Her Overdrive will inflict massive amounts on your three characters.

If you manage to win this battle,numerous Guado Guardians will spill out of the temple.Leave Macalania-Road, and return as soon as you exit and the all Guado will be gone and you can pick up a few items from the Fayth beyond the Antechamber.

Unfortunatly you will have to build the bridge again (remember the trails?).

Dark Bahamut.

Zanakand Dome-The Beyond

HP:4,000,000

After Dark Shiva,you'll find that difficutly level increses significantly.Before facing Dark Bahamut,it might be a good idea to do battle with Dark Yojimbo.Use the Monster Arena to increase your chosen characters attributes:try to power some of them to the maximum figure (255).

However high your Accuracy figures,some hits will miss their mark.Luckily, Aim will reduce the number of misses.

Once Dark Bahamut's Overdrive gauge has increased for the fifth time,the dark aeon will unleash Impulse,which will cast Petrification, Slow,Full Break and Delay.You'll find that conventional "proof" amour offers no protection.

Casting Auto-Haste (which should always be one of your stadard tactics) can prevent slow.Dark Bahamut will also use Impulse and Mega Flare Overdrive ,one after the other.

The result is that by casting Auto-Life

after Dark Bahamut's Impulse,you can look forward to being scorched by Mega Flare.

Dark Yojimbo.

Cavern of the Stolen Fayth-near Save Sphere

HP:1,600,000

Dark Yojimbo's initial attack is always an Ambush.At least one of your character's shoul be equiped with a weapon with First Strike to ensure you get the first turn.Other you may be unlucky enough to run into a Wakizashi attack, inflicting 3 x 99,999.

You'll find Digoro is able to cast Petrification despite Stoneproof:only Ribbon

will offer protection against this Status effectl.As well as significant damage,Kozuka inflicts Slow and Full Break.

You'll have to sacrifice an aeon for the grater good.

Dark Anima.

Gagazet-Moutain Gate.

HP:8,000,000

Remember when you first went to Mt.Gagazet you had to do two trials didn't you.You have to do taget thowing with Wakka again and this time things are considreble tougher,only once you have done that will Dark Anima appear at the Mountain Gate.An attack will cause Poison,Petrification,Zombie and Curse.Pain will cause instan death.

Mega-Gaviton will engender various effects plus damage inflicted on all characters 7/16 of their max HP.In order to stand any chance you will have to powe you stats to the max you will still have to use Aim to score a hit.

Dark Magus Sisters.

Mushroom Rock to the South of the turning leading to the Vally.

HP levels

Dark Cindy:3,000,000

Dark Sandy:2,500,000

Dark Mindy:2,000,000

Try to defeat one sister after the other start with Dark Mindy, since she will unleash Passado(=instant death).Luckily,she has the lowest HP level.Dark Sandy's Razzia attack will dispell Auto-Life and reduce your defence figure to zero.

Dark Cindy's normal attack will lift any protection whilst her Camisade will reduce your defence figure to zero.
