Final Fantasy X - tougher bits: (By me, Ruchir Gupta a.k.a Killer Nightmare) Hi, first walkthrough here, and I hope you find it helpful, as I found these quite useful myself. This walkthrough of goes over some of the game's tougher challenges and offers advice, help, and how to get past the certain task. But beware � there may be certain spoilers. Well, let's get cracking. Contents: 1. Defeating Seymour Flux 2. Butterfly Catching 3. The Final Chocobo Race 4. Blitzball � things to consider 5. Levelling Up Tips 6. Defeating Yunalesca 7. The Value Of �haste� 8. Pro Lighting Bolt Dodging Simulator 9. Kimarhi and His Big Fight 10. The Value Of Nul Guards 11. The Celestial Mirror 1. Defeating Seymour Flux: One of the bosses in FFX that gave our friends overseas the most trouble was Seymour Flux, towards the end of the game. While previous bosses were challenging, Seymour�s tendency to use instant kill attacks and status affecting spells, I addition to a handful of ludicrously powerful magic spells that can easily decimate your entire party, led to many people crying foul at how impossible or cheap that boss was. Others sailed past him. There�s more than a few tactics that can be used against him to make the battle manageable. Without giving you a blow-by-blow account of how to decommission him, here are a few things you may want to try: One thing Seymour doesn�t like is poison. A simple Bio spell will knock off over 1000 hp each turn. This isn�t much by itself, but over the course of the battle, it�ll take a huge chunk out of his reserves, even when you aren�t attacking. One of Seymour�s most irritating attacks is the Lance Pf Atrophy. Any character that ends up on the receiving end will be afflicted with a Zombie status. Seymour will follow up shortly with a full-life cure to that character. If you know your ff, you�ll have twigged the curatives hurt undead creatures � and a full life cure will kill one instantly. Remove the zombie status right away if you don�t want a corpse on your hands. Sadly, the full life cure won�t heal anyone after zombie status has been removed � it�ll simply miss. Another tactic is to beef Wake�s speed with a haste or 2, and then swap him into battle before Seymour�s turn, in order to cast a silence buster, which will stop Seymour from casting any nasty magic spells on you for that turn. Finally, Seymour�s indestructibly buddy, Mortiorchis, has a nice line in freakishly powerful spells like Total Annihilation. Have Yuna protect your party with shell if you want to stay alive. Keep auron in the line-up as he has by far the highest hp, he�s invaluable for handling out Phoenix Downs with. If in doubt though, just arrive in battle with all your Aeons in full overdrive mode, then let them rip one at a time. It won�t be enough to win the battle, but it makes life SO much easier. 2. Butterfly Catching: When the game finally gives you the freedom to hunt around the world map for the ultimate weapons and other final fantasy staples of that ilk, there are a couple of arcade sub games you�ll have to pass to get you just rewards. And they�re all designed to drive the player completely barking mad! The butterfly catching game, which you need to complete to acquire the Saturn Sigil for Kimarhi (the sigil being one of the 2 Saturn items that go with this ultimate weapon, the spirit Lance) is located in the Macalanian Woods and can be played on three different occasions during the game. However, the only time it counts toward the sigil is after you acquire the airship. Make no mistake; this game is damn hard, too hard to be any fun in fact. What you need to do is to catch all the blue butterflies, while avoiding the red ones at all costs. Touching a reddy will trigger a tough battle and waste your valuable time. It sounds easy, but these red guys have a knack of getting in your way and are extremely hard to avoid. Customising an existing weapon and saying, �sod it� to Kimarhi�s weapon would be less hair threatening in the long run. Games are meant to be fun right? 3. The final Chocobo Race: You need to complete this if you want to get Tidus Sun sigil, like all sigils is used to power up his ultimate weapon. First up, you need to be racing the chocoba trailer who can be found in the calm lands. Odds are you�ll have spoken to her before, as she�s the one who trains you in the fine art of chocoba racing. Pass her first test and you can ride, passing the next 2 allows you to race against her. Beating her opens up the path to Tidus� ultimate weapon, the caladbolg, and that just leaves the final race, with the seemingly impossible 0:0.0 target. Some general tips are to never use the analogue sticks. The d-pad is a lot more appropriate here as it is harder to overshoot when you are just tapping buttons. The balloons that you need to collect to knock off seconds off your time are the only things on the course which change � they aren�t always within easy reach, but most of the time they are attainable. The birds that fly to knock you around and waste time however, always come fro the same places. Practice is the key here � you�ll most likely need several trial runs to learn what�s what before you can pre-empt the birds well enough to try the race for real. 4. Blitzball � Things to Consider: Right, you�ll have noticed that when you first play Blitzball, it sucks. This is because the first match is part of the story � the only match you have to play in the entire game in fact. Because of the requirements of the plot you find yourself up against a pretty spanky team while your side, the Besaid Aurochs, are rubbish. It is possible to win if you are fluky with more time than sense, but it�s heavily stacked against you. It may put you off Blitzing for the rest of your life, but if you want to make a go of it when you get the ability to play whenever you like, here�s some things to consider: There are Blitz players across the game world. Some good, some not so good. When you encounter a like-minded Blitzer he or she will wax lyrical about their skills or the team they play in, so they are easy to spot. Hitting the square button gives you a rundown of their stats and what their working wage would be if you hired them. While the choice is yours with regards to which you employ, I highly recommend getting Wedge in your team as early as possible. He�s available from right after the first Blitzball game and if you can get him levelled up he can become a force to be reckoned with in your game. He�s starting stats are lower than all the other available players, but with the highest shot score of just about anyone in the game right from the off, he�s indispensable. 5. Levelling Up Tips: There are a number of handy tips to keep in mind while playing that make levelling up a breeze. For starters, unlike previous FFs, where exp was divided up amongst the party, every character gets the same amount of AP regardless of how many people fought in a battle. With this in mind, remember to use all your available characters in a battle, even if you can easily defeat an enemy with your current line up. Even a character that is swapped in, uses a single potion and is then swapped out again, gets a full dose of AP. One of the best spots to score tons of AP points is in the desert on the way to the AI-Behd Home. In a section of desert divided by a long fence (you�ll know it when you see it), you will occasionally run into a lone Cactaur. While its 10,000 needles attack is instant death for whoever gets it, it rarely uses it and is easily killed thanks to having a poxy 800 hp. If you can kill it before it gets away (auron is a crack shot at killing them in one hit), all party members who made a move will get a mind boggling 12,000 AP if you dispatch it with an Overkill attack, or a �mere� 8,000 AP otherwise. Swap your party members around before attacking to ensure that everyone gets an even amount of AP, and take potshots at it until Auron gets his turn. Just don�t try and us everyone in one battle, it�ll get ugly. Just stick near the save point and heal after every battle! All you have to worry about then is how much time you�ll spend poring over the sphere grid, deciding how best to spend those AP levels, as you�ll have gained at least 10 AP levels fighting around that area. 6. Defeating Yunalesca: Another annoying boss that has trounced many a cocky player, this three stage battle has a few sneaky tricks designed to trip up the unsuspecting. One of the most obvious ones is in the second round where Yunalesca will hit your party members with Hellbiter, which cause that good ol� zombie status. Like Seymour Flux, she�ll follow up with curative spells � especially Regen, which does damage every turn if left unchecked. Heal everyone up with Holy Waters or Esuna spells if Yunalesca�s second form is still some way from being defeated. If she�s almost done for, leave some or all your party members zombiefied as it many just save your life� Confused? You see, in her third form, she�ll unleash her Megadeath attack, which causes instant death to the living, but does not affect zombies at all. Not confused anymore now are you? Yunalesca still uses Zombie attacks though at this point so you can always avoid Megadeath, but seeing as how Zombie afflictions constantly zap away your health; cure and heal when close to real death, then hope for another dose of Zombitis. Tricky, but preferable to instant death and a game over� eh? 7. The Value Of HASTE: It�s really easily overlooked when you get pummelling away at a boss, but the haste spell, which gives a chosen party member a serious speed boost (and later Hastega, which covers all active fighters) can make thing s much easier. Good old Auron is especially handy when hasted, so never forget to break it out during tough fights. Getting six or more attacks in before the boss can lift a finger is ALWAYS worth it. 8. Pro Lighting Bolt Simulator: Another example of an overly sadistic game design here. If you want Lulu�s Ultimate weapon, the onion knight (no, really), odds are you�ll be picking up her Venus Sigil, which can be done even on your first trip to the Thunder Plains. What follows is possibly the most ludicrous RPG section in living memory. What you need to do to explore the thunder plains and decide on an area with the best frequency of lighting strikes for your taste. Then, all you have to do is stand there when you get an advance warning of a lighting strike, you have a split second in which to use x to dodge it. Then do it another 199 times, without ever getting hit, not even once. A downer, eh. Using a save point or leaving the area will reset the counter to zero and button mashing x will trigger an unavoidable strike, so cheating is out of the question. Suffice to say, it make take up to an hour to pull this off right, and if you muck it up, many, many more. If you are mad enough to try, pop over to Rin�s travel agency after you win and open up the now unlocked chest to collect your reward. Note that this counter isn�t shown onscreen, you�ll have to collect the bolts yourself. The upside is that you can pause, so dodging x number of bolts, pausing to catch your breath and then going for another x number is the least stressful way to do it. You will want to have an accessory equipped, which stops random battles from occurring, as when I tried this, I always got hit by lighting right after a random battle, but I still haven�t managed to do it, only another 198, whew� It�s utter madness, but even if you decide that such mind numbingly dubious gameplay isn�t for you, at least give it one try, as there are mega elixirs and very rare status node creators for the sphere grid up for grabs, for reaching lower scores. 9. Kimarhi And His Big Fight: You may find, as I did, that Kimarhi gets left out of your party a lot due to being bad at attacking, despite the fact he can learn most of the black magic Lulu gets. So don�t panic when you arrive at a major story battle that Kimarhi must fight by himself � Kimarhi�s determines the opponent stats, so you can always beat them. 10. The Value Of Nul Guards: Yuna has nul spells virtually from the beginning of the game, each of which protects all active party members from a specific elemental attack (fire, ice etc.) The spells are cheaper than a whole load of cures and potions you�ll need if you don�t use them � and of course, it�s easy AP for Yuna. 11. The Celestial Mirror You�ll need this if you want to get any of the ultimate weapons. To get this, first head to the Calm lands and acquire a chocobo rider who is standing still. From here, take your chocoba to the south plateau, which is near where you emerged from the Macalania Woods. If you look to the east side, you�ll notice a broken bridge, near where a chocoba feather lies on the ground. Try picking it up while still on you chocoba and you trusty steed will fly to the next plateau down. Now go east, towards the Remium Temple. Take a look at the sphere on the left of the temple, and a have a chinwag with the chocobo on the right. You�ll end up in a race again the chocobo who s second from the left, on a circular track. Make it to the centre quickly enough and you�ll obtain the cloudy mirror. Now all you need is some windowlene. To clean up the mirror so it can be used, speak to the mother and son at the entrance of the Macalania Woods. Father had gone missing, apparently, but if you�ve had you eyes open, chances are you�ve spotted him at a campsite in the woods. Talk to him and he�ll head back to his brood. Follow him back and keep talking to them until they bring up the topic of their new missing son. Once they do so, head up the path to their left into the trees. At the fork, head north. If you spoke to the parents enough times, their son will let you through into an area where a large, sentient plant resides. This is the chap you need to speak to so you can give the mirror the polish it needs to turn it into the celestial mirror. And no, I don�t think it makes any sense either. (Thank-you very much for reading my walkthrough, and I hoped it proved helpful) (By Ruchir Gupta aka Killer Nightmare (as on Special Reserve))
