Tip: bribe machea 180000 then if that doesn't work bribe 1 gil each turn, should still work in a few turns. I think this works on most bribes for half the recommended amount, provided you can survive a few turns.
Yeah, it's very slightly different in the INT/HD Remaster versions. The recommended amount is 25x the Monsters HP, not 20x. The minimum amount is still 10x their HP though. So yup for Machea, 180k is the minimum, then 1 gil bribes until it accepts it. It cam take a while though. I usually just go with 200k for convenience.
Awesome stuff, as usual. I’m getting close to starting the endgame on my Switch and your guides have been super helpful. On the Wakka Earth Eater BHPL armor, is there a specific reason that ribbon is worse than deathproof? Or is it just that it is difficult to get him ribbon before grinding earth eater?
bit late but ribbon is better than death proof cus petrified and shatter removes 1 character, and you can't get them back now you have to fight with 2 party member, and plus if they inflict death than most likely you have auto phoenix but if they inflict others status effect your whole party can be disable
Vincent Tran Thanks. My “Ultimate” BHPL armors have Auto-haste and Auto-Regen. So only room for one status defense ability (and no room for auto-Phoenix). In general, that would be Ribbon. However, for farming earth eater for fortune spheres, his megaton punch instakills, making death proof a necessity. So, essentially, Wakka gets a beta version of the ultimate armor with death proof instead of ribbon. Then eventually gets an upgraded version later if necessary (although its probably not needed if others have ribbon). Going against Earth Eater w/ auto-Phoenix instead of BHPL and Deathproof would be painfully slow, and it’s already slow enough as it is.
Let's just point out that you can knock earth eater over with other characters at the start of the fight. All it takes is two hits. After he is knocked down he never death-punches again.
I do it Right now. But i try to only use the Female Characters, it’s Hard but also funny too See Yuna smack for 99999 😂 The Hardest Part in whole FFX is the Chocobo Race for Tidus weapon and the Blitzball weapon. So with this Party i don’t Need it. RN im on farming Stats. The luck one is do fk annoying to get
For ribbon...if you farm chrimeragiest for an hour, you can get 27-35 dark matters. And still make your money back. I have ribbon on 4 of my characters
Yep, Dark Yojimbo is the way. My Stat Maxing series covers that and shows the best way to do it. Sleep Sprout would be the best arena creation to do it against if you wanted to try it that way. It only has 99k so takes one hit instead of two like Chimaerageist, and it drops better/more valuable stuff as it's common drops.
On the remastered version you can farm dark yojimbo very fast on x4 who always drops 2 dark matters per kill and has a chance of dropping ribbon armor to begin with. After farming him for a few hours you will have more dark matters than you know what to do with.
@@DPhoenix237 So there is Auto Haste, in turn two everyone is healthy with the x-potion, I don't see anything wrong with that. The main thing is not to die, and not how to quickly kill the superbosses. Time is not important. Well, they beat me a bit, I restored everything in a turn, and then an quick hit and so on.
Actually I agree but I prefer autoprotect only on tidus and yuna and auto phoenix on all the others, so in the water battle with shinryu rikku and wakka have autophoenix and in the battles with the dark eons yuna can survive better to summon her 8 (10) eons
The whole point of BHPL is to get auto-regen on there as well. Auto-phoenix also gives negative value on an armor like that because you will rez with very low health.
It's not really worth it; you can beat everything in the game legitimately with just 9999 HP. I have done a Stat Maxing Guide on my channel for a Break HP Limit playthrough showing his to do it as efficiently as possible, so check that out if you want to 👍
Would you recommend having on of these armors with auto med? Such as Rikku for example having ribbon and being able to heal your other party members who were inflicted with confusion.
You have to speak to him on Mt Gagazet on the way up, then later after you get the Airship you go to Highbridge and view the scene there with Maester Mika. After that is finished, Wantz will be in Gagazet and will sell the 4 slot armours.
I got an armor drop with ribbon and break HP limit for Yuna from an original fiend. I just don't know which one. But, it wasn't Penance as I don't have him unlocked on this playthrough yet
@@DPhoenix237 hmm. I guess it was. I guess I just didn't notice it until I after I fought the originals. Do they all have a chance of dropping it? Or is it just certain ones?
@@russelldurant4796 All of them have a chance of dropping it, though it is a small chance of getting Break HP/Ribbon + 2 free slots, and even smaller chance (like, 0.7%!) of getting Ribbon/3 free slots.
Great video, but it left me sad. I'm so, so freaking far from being even close to beating this game. I spent so long leveling up the entire party. I'm 70 hours in and I bet I'd need to Double it to get max armors, celestial weapons, catch 10 of everyone for the monster arena, beat all the dark Aeons and whatever else there is 🤣🤣
Check out the 'How to be Overpowered' playlist in my channel. It shows the optimum methods for going about this and will reduce the time it takes to do all that stuff.
These all use game breaking mechanics, you can actually kill everything with Yojimbo aslong as you keep paying him the right amounts and keep him happy then he will 1 shot a dark aeon for you lol I had to do it to get anima an valefors better overdrive so I just cheesed dark valefor with yojimbo 1 shot
So even if I do a BHPL armour (I'm just finishing up capturing and will be starting your BHPL playlist shortly), I'm better off not using that against penance? The penance armour looks comparatively easy to craft compared to the others.
Yeah, one of the irritating things about Ribbon is that it doesn't protect against the Breaks, so Penance isn't much different. You'd either need to use the Break HP/Haste/Ribbon/Regen and heal on some turns, or craft Break HP/Regen/Haste/Protect armour separately for 3 characters which is annoying.
I've killed Penance a couple of times with BHPL/haste/regen/ribbon gear on all 3 characters. It takes a little bit longer (maybe 10 minutes?) compared to the optimal strat, but it's perfectly viable.
Lol so I've just finished capturing every fiend and also did q few rounds of don tonberry and I literally have Tidus with auto hate, auto phoenix and ribbon😅 guess we are on the same page.
Yeah, easily. If you look at the playlists on my channel, there is one of me beating all of the Dark Aeons with Rikku having Haste/Protect/Phoenix/Ribbon and the other two having Haste/Protect/Phoenix/Stoneproof.
Very informative video. I do find it irritating that Ribbon doesn't prevent any of the -breaks (for the longest time I thought it did). Death, curse and eject I kind of understand but why not any of the -breaks?
The easiest way to beat anything at all in the game is to use Yuna with first strike summon yojimbo with full overdrive gauge then pay whatever amount you want and hope for zanmato. I have gotten multiple auto zanmato uses without needing to pay. Not sure of the chances but it has been a different experience using yojimbo alot more.
@@DPhoenix237 yes, 1 free slot. Been grinding and grinding and got to this point and can't teach it! It could be the USA PS2 version.... Gutted, no other way? Thanks for the quick reply, been following your videos on gfx 😊
Quick question, hopefully you can get back to me in the next 24 hours as I'm about to move forward on the superbosses lol. That 20%+ def is applied over the 255 stat?????
Nice, thank you bud. Your guides really helped me get my characters op big time and get the max sphere grid achievements. Though I actually didn't keep the mag defs I put on for the achievements. Wound up with 255 everything except 130 luck and standard 9999 health. All the top tier strategists I watched all superbosses with 9999 health. I actually didn't know I needed it for Yojimbo, I just farmed him 24 times to get a second ribbon to put on Waka. I suppose that extra def would've spared needing auto life on to make it through his Yakazazhis,
29* extra nodes actually, expert grid, tons of extra hp spheres on there I technically don't need either. I just maxed the optional ones for fun basically. Wasn't gonna do luck though. Fighting earth eater 100x already to get all my characters grids filled was enough for me lol
My recommendation to many people who want to have fun with the game is to never use auto phoenix Auto phoenix changes the game drastically. Its so broken that once you unlock it the game becomes and entire different thing, almost all enemies in the game can no longer defeat you and you no longer need to play with a strategy, buffs, debuffs, healing or care, because you have more or less unlocked inmortality. Its impressive how much it ruins the game Only exception is enemies that can kill all your party with one hit, but then why would you use auto phoenix against them anyway
Its the math for me... so basically to fight these monsters i need to get great armor and to get great armor i need rare items.. in order to get rare items i have to fight strong monsters... well, how do I beat those lol
@@RageBoxMan Awesome, have fun with it! The order of stat Maxing and the Fortune Sphere and HP sphere grinds are really important to do properly...you can save loads of time using my methods 🤘
You need it on at least one character's armour otherwise you're pretty much screwed against Dark Anima because of Mega Graviton, and you'd have a much harder time versus the Magus Sisters (especially if fought together) because of Terra Graviton. If you're getting BHPL armours for a 99k playthrough then you should definitely get BHPL/Ribbon/Haste/Regen as that's the best BHPL armour and they take ages to get anyway, so you might as well get the optimal setup. It is irritating that Ribbon doesn't protect and Death or the breaks though.
A year late but Dispel isn't technically a status ailment, it's just a spell that removes buffs. Good luck trying to defeat the Dark Aeons without at least one person with Ribbon (without relying on Yojimbo's Zanmato either) 😉
