Final Fantasy X | Omega Ruins Guide 

Varuna, first nightmarish enemy I've seen in game

Get Auron’s celestial weapon and get him leveled up. The Masamune has the First Strike ability, which means he’ll be able to hit the Marlboro before it attacks. And if you level him up, he can kill the Marlboro with one hit.

I put first strike on tidus weapon and have him use provoke. Assuming it hits, which it does most of the time, it forces GM to use a damaging move instead of bad breath

Silence grenade is better, especially as it hits both at once.

@@quantitativediseasing9988 True, but the abilities can be used indefinitely, whereas silence grenades are consumable. More effective, but must be farmed for.

​@@embrezar Monster arena and Thorn; with 2 characters stealing on 4x speed, including restarting the fight, I can steal on average 10 grenades per minute. That's 10 minutes to farm 99 of them. How many silence grenades are you going to use in one battle against 2 Demonoliths? The answer is one! But using Silence Attack/Buster you're going to have to do it several times over for each Demonolith during each battle as those attacks are not AoE. Buster is one turn only; Attack is two turns but it can miss, especially when you consider that Demonolith has a 50% resistance to silence. Good to remember that, especially if you have a weapon with silencestrike because it'll miss 50% of the time. Grenades are 100% effective and never miss. With regard to farming silence grenades there is a much earlier opportunity though it depends on what you do with Kimahri. I find Kimahri's path next to useless so I always send him to Rikku's path. By the time I defeat Chocobo Eater I have the two Level 1 Key Spheres and Kimahri has Steal and Use. All through Mushroom Rock and the Djose Road you'll find Funguars; their common steal is a silence grenade. Have Tidus in the party with low HP and the Nulblaze Shield (given to you in Kilika after Lord Ochu battle) and you'll not have to worry about a game over from Pollen and Fire. If you only steal one or two silence grenades from each Funguar, by the time you've gone through both Mushroom Rock and Djose Road (there are even some in the early part of the Moonflow road) you'll have a bucketful of them, far more than you'll ever need for Demonoliths.

@@quantitativediseasing9988 Ah, but I have a limitation: you mentioned 4x speed, which means you're on Steam. I'm on PS5, so I don't have that luxury. I'm forced to play every aspect of the game at 1x speed, and no csr for me (cut-scene remover). But it's how I originally played back on vanilla when it first came out, so I guess points for that, even though fast forward would be nice.

Thanks for watching!

The celestial weapons are pure hell Tidus's and Lulus especially kimarhis can be annoying but it's achievable. Though I wish you the best of luck

It's not so hard, you can do it in one night

With practice, I ended up getting them all in one sitting. Tidus’s was the hardest. Omega Ruins are much easier once you master the AP trick.

Glad you like them! Have you watched the podcast?

Where do you get Anima and Magus Sisters?

​@@therealcleanyAnima is in Baaj Temple and the magus sisters are found in remiem temple.

@@Tenshi659 Thanks!

You're welcome! Saw your comments on some of our other vids, and we really appreciate you watching everything :)

I'm on my first playthrough of FF10 and I started in it January. I already got all celestial weapons fully powered up lol. It took a long time, but I'm proud.

@@dostwood5103 dude wtf? I’ve been playing it since ps2 days I’ve never had tidus, lulu or kimari weapons ever

@@marlonthomas8042 I don't know how I got so lucky with Tidus' sigil. I completed the Chocobo racing in under 2 hours. Kimahri's was frustrating, but there are maps and videos that give you a good route. And with Lulu you can try a specific crater trick exploit that allows you to manipulate the lightning strike and dodge consistently.

@@marlonthomas8042I just got them all for the first time. They’re actually not that bad, especially if you look up how to cheese the lightning dodges and make Blitzball easy. You can get them all in ten hours or less.

SAME! 😭 Currently working on the lightning dodge, pre-Sin defeat

Good question. It sounds so jaunty, like you're gathering for wine and cheese with classy friends, not facing some desperate fight to the death against terrible odds.

Also a rare steal from Greater Sphere, but the easiest way to get them is to Bribe the Dark Element in the Sunken Cave (3 for 36,000 gil) or Mandragora in Gagazet/Zanarkand Ruins (24 for 620,000 gil).

Favorite game ever here, and this is my first playthrough in 22 years that I unlocked the celestials and took on ruins...I'd highly recommend doing so if not for the sense of accomplishment alone.

@Brando Halstead that damn chocobo race and 200 lightning bolt shit is still a nope for me and I have yet to tap into rikkus potential with her mix

​@iAm ErgoProxy watch some videos on it, and then keep trying. I found it easiest to do when I still had other stuff like monster catching and blitzball to finish up. I would just take breaks if I got too frustrated and come back to it. Chocobo racing I had to come back to like 4-5 times until one time I had a stroke of luck, and that mini game is the only one that's RNG based; Lightning Dodging and Butterfly Catching are just extremely taxing on your patience.

Im never going to be able to get them all theres no way i can do the dodging lightning 100x part

@@carlosflores4380 it's 200 dodges

How come😮😮 tell me the tipsss

I know this post I'm replying to is almost a year old but you really don't need to be so overpowered. You can capture all the enemies in Omega Ruins in the NSGNSNCNONENNENBB challenge (for those who don't know, it means No Sphere Grid, No Summons, No Customise, No Overdrives, No Escaping, No No-Encounters, No Blitzball). Okay, you don't have to be as weak as in that challenge, but you also don't need to be hitting for 40k either. Strategy and the right equipment is what counts. Here's an example... Greater Malboro. Tidus with first strike uses Provoke; the Malboro doesn't do bad breath, just an AoE attack for around 1k damage or less. For all Tidus' subsequent turns use Delay Buster and you'll never see GM in the CTB window again. It'll never get another turn. Here's another one. Spirit with 2 Black Elements. Tidus uses Provoke on Spirit and then all it does is cast White Wind on your party. Have Rikku use silence grenade and frag grenade on black elements, steal shining gems from them, and then defeat them at your leisure. There are no really difficult enemies in Omega Ruins apart from Omega itself. Even Ultima can be bribed if you have a decent amount of cash; 2.5 million gil will guarantee you 99 Pendulums from it. If you're capturing, then stonestrike on a capture weapon will work on all the standard enemies except Black Element, Spirit, and Master Tonberry, (also Gemini, Greater Malboro, Demonolith and Wraith but they are classed as inside Sin). Varuna and Adamantoise will be a little difficult as they have 80% resistance to petrify. Black Element and Spirit I've already dealt with, and Master Tonberry can be put to sleep enabling you to lower its HP with Shadow Gems/Demi and then capture it at low HP. As you can see, Omega Ruins isn't that hard if you know what strategies to use.

Great Malboro. Tiduswith First Strike Provokes GM and keeps using Delay Buster. GM never gets an attack apart from its first turn. It doesn't do Bad Breath under Provoke, just a weak AoE attack for about 1k damage. The only way you're ever in any trouble with GM is if you don't have Tidus with First Strike on his weapon. You could also have someone else with it and switch Tidus in. Customise First Strike using a return sphere or you can buy Sonic Steel for Tidus from Oaka in Macalania.

Do you have re mastered version?
