Boss Guide  
This will help you beat them bosses that you just can't get by. written by tidus275 




Sinspawn Ammes/Sincales

HP: 1,000/100

Ap:0

I don�t think I need to help people for this battle because you cannot die, all Ammes does is demi and it can�t kill you so just keep attacking and don�t worry about healing yourself and you will easily win.

 

Geosgaeno

HP: 32,767

Ap:0

Again you don�t need to worry about anything in this battle, just attack him a few times and then you will automatically run away.

 

 

Klikk

HP: 1500

Ap: 5

Steal: Grenade

Its not a very hard battle, just keeping attacking and a girl will appear. Then keep attacking with Tidus and throw grenades with the girl and steal some grenades from Klikk if you run out. Heal if your hp goes below 100 and you should win easily.

 

Tros

HP: 2200

Ap: 8

Steal: Grenade

Another easy battle cuz its only the beginning of the game. Just try to keep your hp up and it will be a breeze. Have ???? steal grenades when you run out.Theres just one interesting thing in this battle, when tros hides behind something you can select a trigger command stand by, it restores 50 hp and if you can get both of your characters in stand by and get another turn be4 tros attacks you can select the trigger command pincer attack. This makes it so that you and ???? surround tros and he cant move again.

Kimahri

Hp: 750

Ap: 3

Another easy battle, just keep attacking kimahri and use ur overdrive when u get it and heal when ur hap gets around 200.Cheer can be useful if u already learned it.

 

Sin/Sinspawn Echuilles

Hp: 2,000/2,000

Ap: 10/12

Weakness:none/Drakness

Use Lulus magic and yunas summons to attack sin,wakkas ball can also hit sin and don�t kill all the little sinspawns or more will come out,if you can get valfare in overdrive it will do abput 1,100 damage to sin. Its not a very hard battle.

In the next battle that is underwater u can only use wakka and tidus. This time,don�t attack the sinspawns at all, more will keep coming. So just concentrate on echuilles and keep your hp above 200 or u will die.

 

Lord Ochu(optional)

Hp:4649

Ap:40

Weak:Fire

Its good to use everyong in this battle,they all have their own usefulness.Have lulu cast fire and have tidus cast haste on her and then attack.Yuna is good for curing and have her summon valefor and have him use fire and since hes a bird,the earthquakes wont hurt him.Have Kimahri use physical attacks an have wakka use silence attack to silence ochu to stop him from using earthquake.When ochu loses 2500 hp he will go to sleep and start rcovering hp,so use a physical attack to wake him.

 

Sinspawn Geneaux

Hp:Body:3000 Tentacles:450

Weakness:Fire(body)

Absorb:Water

You cant do a lot of damage to the body while the tentacles are alive,because they will absorb any magic you use on the body and the body will have a shell(which makes your physical attack do very less damage)until you kill the tentacles,so killing them is what you should do first.When the tentacles are out of the way,you should cast haste on Lulu and make her cast fire.Just make sure you don�t cast water on him or he will absorb it,it�s an easy fight so just keep ur hp up and u will win.

 

Oblitzerator

Hp:6000

Ap:36

Weakness:Thunder

This battle is VERY EASY,in the beginning,u will notice the boss isn�t the only target,the crane is also a target of ur attacks.So have tidus and kimahri attack the boss and lulu cast thunder on the crane a few times and then u will get a trigger selct it to use the crane to rip off the top part of the boss doing A lot of damage,then attack the boss a few more times and he will be destroyed.

 

Chocobo Eater

Hp:10,000

Ap:90

Weakness:Fire

You will notice that in this battle,theres a cliff behind u and CE(chocobo eater).so theres 2 ways to win,u can either kill him by making his hp go down to 0 or u can push him off the cliff,to push him back u need to do more than 500 dame wit a physical attack.But that means he can push u off too,but don�t worry u wont die,u will just take a different path.

Hes weak against fire so keep using that and aurons power break is good too.also use ifrit and valefor if u want.

 

Sinspawn Gui

Hp:Head:4,000 Body:12,000 Arms:800

Ap:carries over to next battle

Strong vs:water

Absorb:Thunder

This battle is kinda hard and very long.First start attacking the head with long range attacks until u destroy it,and be sure to attack it when it begins to shake.After the head is gona attack the arms cuz they protect the body which is ur main target from damage,if lulu has second level spells,she can kill the hands in 1 hit,after the hands are gonna attack the body as fast as u can cuz the arms will regenerate after gui takes 3 turns,repeat this process until u win the battle.

 

Sinspawn Gui

Hp:Head:1,000 Body:6,000 Arms 800

Ap:Head:48 Body:400 Arm:37

This battle is EASY,u have Seymour on ur team and his second level magicswill easily destroy gui,I probably don�t need to tell u anything for this battle.

 

Extractor

Hp:4,000

Ap:660

Weakness:Thunder

Strong:Fire,Water,Blizzard

You only get to use wakka and tidus,so just use any weapons that have lightningstrike and have both of them attack repeatedly.Having tidus cast haste will make this battle much easier.use potions when ur hp gets low and u got nothing to worry about.

 

Sphereimorph

Hp:12,000

Ap:3,240

Steal:Ether

Weakness:Changes

Strong:Changes

Before you even think about fighting this boss make sure you equip non-elemental weapons. This boss has the ability to change its weak point with spells. Most of the Melee attacks don't cause too much damage. Magic is the key. The problem is that it will shift his weak point around. If you hit Sphereimorph with the wrong spell it will get cured. The way to find out what its weakness is to watch and see what spell it cast. Whatever it is use the opposite. For example if it attacks with lightning you attack with water.

 

Crawler/Negator

Hp: 16,000/1,000

Ap:4,400/220

Steal: Lunar Curtain/Hi Potion

Weak: Lightning/none

 

This battle may seem tricky at first. There is the Negator flying around the boss. His will deplete any magic spells and aeon attacks. You have to get rid of it first. Why? Because the boss is weak against Thunder. Using Thunder will help a lot. Have Wakka attack Negator since it will hit every time. Once its gone there will be a Mana Beam count down. This causes a lot of damage. The best way to avoid this is to use one of your aeons and provoke the shield command. If you use Shiva or Ifrit you can use their own black magic to cure them. After about 2 blast from the Mana Beam the third one might be a no go. This can be a lifesaver.

 

 

Seymour/Guado Guardian x 2/Anima

HP:6,000/2,000/18,000

AP:2,000/290/2,500

Steal:Turbo Ether/Hi-Potion/Silence Grenade

 

This battle can be hard if u don�t know wut to do.First make sure you have ifrit or ixion in OD and summon the aeon in OD when the battle begins and use the OD and it should finish off the guado guardians and setmour will summon anima,now for anima summon the aeon ???? and keep attacking with ???? and make sure to use her ice attacks on herself to heal her, also use her OD when u get it. Make sure to use shield when anima is about to get his OD gauge full.When u kill him u will have to fight seymour again,this time he will use multi spells so make sure to use yunas nul spells and this fight should be a breeze.

 

Wendigo/Guado Gaurdians

Hp:12,000/1,200

Ap:2,000/290

Steal:Hi potion/Hi Potion

Weakness:Fire/none

This battle is easy.the guados cure themselves and wendigo so make sure to kill them first.Use fire and armor break on wendigo,u can also use sleep attack to make wendigo go to sleep.heal when u need to and u wil easily win.

 

Evrae

Hp:32,000

Ap:5,400

Steal:Water gem

Strong:all elements

This battle will be long because magic doesn�t hurt evrae much,so ur best bet is physical attacks.Also tidus and rikku will have the trigger command option of moving the ship far and near evrae so cast haste on both of them or hastega if you have it.After a few rounds evrae will inhale,that�s ur key to move the ship far so do that or his breath will do a lot of damge and do status elements to your characters so use al bhed potions to heal that.when the ship is far use wakka attacks and lulus magic even though it wont do much,and when u r far from evrae cid will shoot missiles at evrae from the ship on his turn(it can only be done 3 times).Sooner or later u should win.

 

 

Grothia/Pterya/Spathi

HP:8,000/12,000/20,000

AP:6,000

Weakness:Ice/none/none

U should have ur aeons in ODbefore getting in this battle to make it easier.In this battle your aeons will fight isaarus.Grothia is his ifrit,pterya is his valefor and spathis is bahamut.First eh will summons ifrit,and u should summon bahamut and use his OD.Then he will summon valefor,summon bahamut again and use impulse until u get OD and then use it.This time he will summon bahamut so you cant summon your bahamut so summon shiva,ifrit or ixion.Bahmut doesn�t attack but he does a countdown,keep attacking with your aeon and use shield when his countdown reaches 1,if your aeon survives bahamuts mega flare then continue attack with it or otherwise summon a new aeon.also use your Ods when u get them.

 

Evrae Altana

Hp:16,384

Ap:5,800

Weakness:cureative things

This is a zombie version of evrae, so if you don�t want to fight fair just use 2-3 phoenix downs and you will win. If you want to fight fair then just attack evrae or the to locks,if u break both locks you will try to run away and evrae will follow,do the same thing again and a third time, the third time you will lock evrae in doing more damage to him. Now just attack him and use softs because he can turn you into stone.

 

Seymour Natus/ Mortibody

Hp: 36,000/4,000

Ap: 6,300

Steal:Tetra elemental

 

Easy battle. Make sure all your aeons are in Od before getting in this fight and summon your first aeon and use the OD,that attack should kill mortibody but he will drain 3,000 hp from Seymour and Seymour will banish your aeons so summon your next aeon and this time mortibody will drain 2,000 hp from Seymour and the third time he will drain 1,000 from Seymour and if you kil mortibody this time then you will win.

 

Defender X

Hp: 64,000

Ap: 6,660

Steal:Lunar Curtain

This is pretty easy.Have tidus cast haste or hastega.Auron shoud do mental and armor break,and lulu should be doing watergas(they seem to do a little more damage then the other magics).And have una use cure and protect when needed and this battle so be no problem.

 

Biran/Yenke

Hp:varies/varies

Ap:4500/4500

Steal:lvl 3 key sphere/none

Get ready for a 2 on 1 battle. This involes 2 ronsos. They start off side by side but will do a running attack that puts one on one side of kimahri and the other on the other side. This is a great place to learn lots of Lancet skills. Watch what the ronsos perform then use lancet to grab it. There are at least 8 different skills you can learn. Make the most of it. As to fight them just use attacks and potions when needed. When kimahri hits OD the best skill to use is Mighty Guard. You can also use Aqua Breath but make sure its when the 2 are together. When one of the ronso falls the other will become berserk which increases the attack 2 fold. But basically its just like if there was 2 ronsos attack but lets turns on the opposing side.

 

Seymour Flux/Mortiorchis

Hp:70,000/4,000

Ap:10,000

Steal:Elixer/none

Now begins the third battle with seymour. This can be quite tough. First get Tidus to cast Hastega on all the characters. Have Yuna cast Shell on everyone. When the time comes Seymour will use Cross Cleaver which deals more then 2,500 HP of damage. Shells halves that. Becareful because he can cast Dispel and that will destroy all your hard work. Seymour has another attack he loves. Its the Lance of Atrophy which Zombies you character. He will follow with a Full-Life which will instantly kill that character. After he uses Lance of Atrophy use Holy Water on that character to save him/her from the second attack. When the Mortiorchis starts to charge make sure shell is up and running. Also attack it to slow the charge down. If you hurt it enough it will drain from Seymour,which is a good thing. After it charges up it will attack hard. Use mega-potion to get you back on your feet.

 

Santuary Keeper:

Hp:40,000

AP:11,000

Steal:Turbo Ether

I think this is the most challenging battle in the game. First off this boss is crazy with cure spells. Get everyone with Haste. Then cast reflect on him.Reflect is the key because when he tries to cure himself with Curaga you'll be cured instead. Not because you need it but because its a killer if you gets all the way back to 40,000 and you were so close. Also he will try to cast reflecton one of your characters making the spell bounce off that character and back to him. To counter this just switch a character when it gets reflect used on him/her or just use dispel in him/her.You can also try to get it down to about 15,000HP then summon bahamut and finish him off with a mega flare.

 

Spectral Keeper

Hp:52,000

SP:12,000

Steal:Ether,Thurbo Ether

This battle is quite interesting. There are 6 Glyph Platforms around the boss. Whenever you attack the boos it will counter attack the platform in front, the left and right of that platform. Make sure to move your characters behind the boss with the Trigger command to get out of the way. The boss will then attack with Berserk Tail. This will cause the boss to turn to where your characters are. Move them again. You might want to equip equipment with berserk proof or berserk ward. After a little while he will attack with glyph mines.There will be flashing on the 2 platforms before it attacks. Make sure no characters are on these 2 platforms. This can cause certain death.

 

Yunalesca

Hp: 1st form: 24,000 2nd form: 40,000 3rd form: 64,000

Steal: Stamina Tablet,Farplane wind.

Weakness:Blizzard

Strong:Fire,Water

Absorb:Thunder

This battle may look hard but infact it isn't. This first form is fairly simple.Every time you attack her she will counter with something that renders that type of attack useless. Such as Tidus does a normal attack. Yunalesca attacks with blind or silence when you cast a spell. Equip armor and weapons that makes yourself immune to these attacks and your golden here. When you reach the second form those special attacks stop but a new attack occurs.Its called Hellbiter. This attack causes your characters to turn to zombies. Use holy water to cure this. After you inflict alot of damage or shes about to die on the second form, make sure that you don't cure from zombie anymore. Once you beat this form the third one will attack with Mega-Death Attack. This will kill any character instantly if not in zombie form. The last form can get tricky because you can't cure yourself anf if you release zombie your whole party has the benefit of certain death. Basicly the way i beat this form is that everyone has different levels of HP. This makes it so if an all party attack comes the ones with lower HP dies and i use Phoenix Down with an Alchemy type weapon or full life it make the HP as high as possible. Now the ones that were high are low and a life maintaining stat is perform. Every now and then Yunalesca will attack again with Mega-Death attack so keep those zombie stats going. It might also be good to use to save Overdrives to this point. Aeons would also be useful here but because with that instant death attack.

 

Sin Left Fin/Sin Right Fin

Hp:65,000/65,000

Ap:16,000/17,000

Steal:Stamina Tablet,Farplane wind

These two battles are exactly the same. Its not too tough. Cast Hastega then get the ship close to Sin. If you have Doublecast for Lulu then have her doublecast Flare or Ultima. Have all your strong characters attack head on. Use Armor Break for more damage. Sin will eventually attack with Gravija. Using an Al Bhed potion helps alot since it cures everyone. Have that person have the Alchemy. Using Aeons helps too. Before you know it both battles will be over quickly.

 

Sin/Sinspwan Genais

Hp:36,000/20,000

Ap:

Steal: Stamina Spring/Star Curtain,Shining Gem.

Weak:none/fire

Absorb:none/water

Genais absorbs magic so you want to take it out first. Cast slow and silence. Casting silence will stop it from curing. Casting double spells as always is useful. After you get rid of Genais now head head for sins weak spot. Make sure you use Armor Break. You wont be able to cast much damage until then. Make sure you save your Overdrives for the next battle. This also goes for Aeons Overdrives.

 

Overdrive Sin

Hp:140,000

Ap:20,000

Steal:Ether,Supreme Gem

This battle is easy to explain and alittle fun but don't think this is easy. You have only a certain amount of time until you get a game over. Basicly you have to get 140,000 HP of damage before sin eats you up. When the battle begins give it all you got. The first several rounds are out of range for short range weapons.Spells work also having Wakka use Armor Break and attack from far works well.Double cast is very important.

And if you don�t want to play fair and you have got the magus sisters,you can just summon them and finish sin in 2-4 attacks.

 

Seymour Omnis

Hp:80,000

Ap:24,000

Steal:Shining Gem,Supreme Gem

Weakness:Changes

I found this fight rather easy. You'll want to switch armors that help you protect against elements. When the battle begins keep an eye on the 2 wheels behind seymour. What ever the color is closest to him is his strength. Just use spells that are opposite to that. Get Nul Spells up and running. If your fast enough this battle is a piece of cake.

Again,this battle can be exetremely easy if you summon the magus sisters.

 

Braskas Final Aeon

Hp:1st form:60,000 2nd form:120,000

Now the key to winning this battle is to talk when the Overdrive is about to build. Try to save your summons for the next form. If you can inflict Zombie status on Jecht, then do so. Otherwise hit the Pagodas once in a while to stop their movement. You won't be able to destroy them since they keep coming back. If you can, use your Aeons to use Shield(but not their Overdrives) just before Jecht's Overdrive.Although when you talk with Jecht and his Overdrive doesn't stop building, don't worry about it. As long as you talk to him the Overdrive will start over. But be careful though,you won't be able to use the Talk command every time. Just save it until the Overdrive starts to build. Use Armor and Mental break and cast Protect and Haste on as many characters as possible. If the Overdrives initiates,Jecht Bomber will hit, taking away 3/4's of the party's HP. Note that each time you take down the Pagodas you'll have to damage them even more to take them down the next time. Using a Zombie status will help tremendously in this battle. Watch for Jecht's Beam...it will petrify a character and then put that character out of battle...leaving you with one less party member.

Now in the second form cast Protect, Shell, Haste, and Regen continuously and heal any negative status effects. Hopefully you've saved your Overdrives till this battle. I don't think I have to say much for the second form, and if you have to do anything desperate...then do it...because this is the last battle. Use Zombie Attack again on Jecht...watch for the Pagodas, if you can't use a Zombie status on Jecht, good luck winning this battle. Note that you must use the Zombie Attack continously...it wears off everytime the Pagoda tries to heal him.

Again,if you cant win and don�t care about being cheap then summon the magus sisters to make this battle very easy,not that it needed to be easier.

 

Last few battles

I am not gonna put a strategy for these battles as you have auto life on and cannot lose.
