Easy Overkills:
To get instant overkills, even on bosses, you need to have aquired Bahamut.
First, tune up his stats. Make all of the 101 (this is gonna take a time to
get it up to 101). When you do, fight Yojimbo or somebody that is very strong.
When you're in a fight, use B's Impulse attack, doing 99,999 or 999,999 (I forgot...Most
likey the 99,999 is the one).
Get Very Rare Items:
To get very rare items like Door to Tomorrows, and Winning Formula capture the
monsters from diffrent areas. After capturing all the monsters in that one area
return to the monster arena and talk to the trainer, he will give you rare items
that you can use to add powerful abilities to your weapons and armor. EX: triple
overdrive 30 winning formulas.
All Aeon Overdrive Secret:
At most Al Bhed camps and in certain spots in FFX there are nodes you can access
tutorials and stuff. The trick to get all overdrives for your aeons goes like
this. On the tutorial screen look for the Fiend Info Menu, then Fight a ghost
(any fiend works but this dude does crud damage to Aeons). Now take out an Aeon,
have it do boost, when the ghost does a magic attack on you it will boost you
up and your overdrive will be filled! Dismiss this Aeon and repeat the process.
When you finish, just use flee or escape and you will leave the battle with
all of your Aeons at FULL overdrive gauge and fully healed, along with your
party member fully healed, since it was just a practice. Now you have a super
team of Aeons ready to whoop the next boss you have to fight!
Finding those Overdrives:
Auron: Find various Jeckt Spheres laying about the world. A few
of these will give Auron a new Overdrive. Find all 10 to get Auron's final overdrive.
Kimari: Use the Dragon Sword ability to drain HP and MP from the
enemy. If the enemy has a Blue magic skill that Kimari can learn, he will gain
it automatically. Obtain Sunshine from the Omega Weapon.
Lulu: Spin the Right Analog-stick clockwise as fast as possible.
The number will go up the more you rotate it. The more you level Lulu up, the
easier it is to cast multiple spells.
Rikku: Rikku's overdrive combines items to create special attacks
and power-ups during battle. You have to choose any two items to combine. Note:
Two of the same kind will work.
Tidus: Just keep using them over and over. After a while, he will learn
his next Overdrive.
Wakka: You can win new overdrive roulette (slots) types in the
Blitzball Ranking and Tournament modes.
Yojimbo: In the Calm Lands, circle past the right side of the
bridge leading to Mt. Gagazet, and descend into the gorge below. To the left
of the Save Sphere is the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth. Proceed through the cave
until you encounter a spirit. Defeat Yojimbo and speak to him to negotiate a
fee for his services.
Anima: Go to Baaj Temple with the Airship. Dive into the water
and fight Geosgaeno. Defeat it and swim toward the underwater temple entrance.
Approach the six statues on either side. There is one hidden item in each of
Spira's six Cloisters of Trails. You should have five of these items, now get
the last one from Zanarkand Dome. Solve the puzzle there and return with the
last item and get your prize Aeon.
The Magus Sisters: Capture all of the required types of fiends
on Mt. Gagazet and return to the monster arena and get the Blossom Crown. You
must possess all other Aeons, including Yojimbo and Anima. Next, go to Remiem
Temple. Defeat Spathi, and receive the Flower Scepter. After defeating all of
the Aeons at Remiem Temple, use the Blossom Brown and the Flower Scepter on
the door in the back to unseal it and acquire the Magus Sisters.

walk to the upper northwest section of the Calm Lands. The guard blocking a
narrow pathway down into the gorge will have left his post, allowing you to

Mi'ihen on the Mushroom Rock Road. Place the Rusty Sword before the statue to
reveal a glyph. Touch it to reveal the Masamune's secret location.

Defeating Seymour with Guards:
In the first half of the game you must fight Seymour in a temple - he only has
about 6,000 HP, but he has 2 Guado guards (with Protect) who will jump in front
of all attacks, and every time they are attacked they use auto-potion and automatically
regain 1,000 of 2,000 HP. The easiest way to defeat these guys is by using Aeons.
First use the Trigger command "talk" for Tidus and Yuna; this will increase
their stats. Before you summon an Aeon, it wouldn't hurt to use some abilities
like Haste and Cheer. You are going to need it for what is about to come. Finally,
summon an Aeon - it doesn't really matter which. Now is the difficult part...
get your Aeon into Overdrive mode- use any method you see fit - BUT BEWARE!
You need to be careful if you use Boost. Seymour does mid level magic which
can severely hurt an Aeon, especially if he has boost on! Now, after your Aeon
goes into overdrive...use their ability. You should be strong enough that it
kills the guards and severely damages Seymour (lol...you should be far enough
to Overkill the guards). After you do this, Seymour will summon Anima (the Aeon
you see from the Blitzball tournament), he has about 16,000 HP, and he boosts
himself until he can use his overdrive---which will most likely kill the entire
party...so instead of having him use it on the party, have him use it on your
Aeons. Keep building their overdrives and using them on Anima- damage him as
much as you can with all your Aeons (Valifor, Ifrit, Ixion, Shiva) until they
are all KO'd. After this is over, he should have from 2,000-5,000 HP- now is
your chance to finish him off- this would be much easier with Haste on... just
SLASH SLASH SLASH, until Seymour dismisses him- then just finish off Seymour
normally.
More Seymore Tips:
When fighting Seymor for the first time look for a pattern of spells that he
is casting. I found that he cast ice, thunder, water then fire so use Yuna to
cast Nul spells in that order so that your caracters do not take any damage
while facing him. Also, do not try to summon Aeons because he will quickly eliminate
them. Defeating Anima is easy just use ????/shiva and cast blizzard/blizzara
on herself to keep her HP up and once you hit overdrive unleash Diamond dust
on Anima. This will either take 9999 HP from him or it may be less. Either way
He is still a push over.
Seymour Omnis Strategy:
The wheels behind Seymour determine his elemental property. He is vulnerable
to the opposite property you see when using scan. Use Armor Break, Mental Break,
and Nul spells. Strike the mortiphasm to shift elements!!! Summon aeons like
the magus sisters, Anima, Yojimbo (if you have them) when all 4 elements are
the same. DOUBLECAST! Seymour casts dispel. If Seymour talks,CAST PROTECT! He
will ultima!
Cut Total Annihilation in 1/2:
Sorry if "Annihilation" is spelled wrong. Simple task, but lucky too. When you
are facing Seymour for the third and last time he does an attack which is called
"Total Annihilation". Cast Protect on Yuna, then on the others. If you have
some more time after, cast Shell on them. But, if you want to make sure you
will live through this, when he is charging for the attack, bring out all your
members with the most HP, including Yuna (whether or not she has least/most/middle
HP). Cast Protect first, and Shell second. Just hope Seymour doesn't cast Dispel,
but if that happens repeat the process.
Stop Auto-Potion:
When fighting the guards and Seymour to stop the guards from using potions the
first turn you get switch to Rikku and steal from each of the guards. They won't
use there potion any more and then you can just kick there butockses without
them healing themselves.
Easy AP Gain/Sphere Level Up:
First get a weapon with multi-customization slots, a minimum of 2 slots. Use
the weapon customization command and add Overdrive->AP to the weapon (10 Doors
of Tomorrow required). Also if you have the option of double AP (20 Mega elixirs
required) or Triple AP (50 Wings of Discovery required) Now switch your Overdrive
mode to Slayer, Warrior, Victor, or Hero (I found Warrior works really well.)
By doing that you now raise your potential of gaining AP. You also gain extra
AP from the Overdrive->AP ability and then whatever AP you gain doubled or tripled
with the double and triple AP option. I found the Cactuar Village on Bikanel
Island (Cactuar mini quest must be completed to get in the village) is one of
the best places to gain AP. You generally are able to fight creatures such as
Cactuars (8000 AP), Sand Worms (2000 AP), and Zus (1200 AP). The battles that
can be faced within the village include a group of three Cactuars (that being
24000 AP at a minimum without Triple or Double AP or Overdrive->AP) A group
two Cactuars, A single Cactuar, Two Cactuars and a Zu, A single Zu, and A single
Sand Worm.
One of the Best Blitzball Shots:
On the S.S. Winno you will get the Jecht Shot Challenge. If you pass it you
can use the Jecht Shot in blitsball when you pass level 3. This is one of the
best blitsball moves.
Easily Defeat Guado Guards:
Any time you are facing Guado Guards (such as against Seymor the first time).
They always auto-potion when you hurt them. The easiest way to beat them is
NOT to summon aeons, but insetad to have Rikku steal thier potion. It only takes
one steal and then they can't auto-potion anymore. After that, its cake to kill
them with whatever method you like.
Very Easy Win with YuYevon:
I am not saying the boss is easy, but if you manage to make it passed all your
summons and you fight Yu Yevon this is what you do. No matter how much you hit
him he uses Curage and heals 9,999. So use a reflect on him and hit him. He
will heal you 9,999 almost every hit he takes. Cheap, ya I know but it works.
More Witty Ways to Dispatch YY:
Another easy way to total kill Yu Yevon is to inflect Zombie Status on him that
way when you attack him right after he will use curaga which will damage him
9,999. Note: if the Yu Pogas heal him you will need to use your zombie attack
again.
Steal From Chest's Without Fighting Mimics:
Later in the game you will incounter treasure chest's during battle. Some of
these chests have nothing in them and as a result you have to fight a powerful
mimic. But there is away around this. First make sure Rikku (or anyone) has
the ability "Mug." When in a battle with a chest, use mug on the chest, if the
chest has an item, you get it and kill the chest. If not, you get no item and
kill the chest. Since chest's have 1 HP this is a great way to avoid mimics.
Get tons of AP:
To get a lot of AP any time after you kill Seymour the 1st time just return
to Macalania Temple and fight the Guado. I found this to work best right after
killing him the first time.
Get the NO AP Ability Off Your Legendary Weapon:
To get the NO AP ability off your ultimate weapon , you must collect the correct
crest and sigil for the weapon...NOTE: This is not a simple task , the crests
are very easy to get; but the sigils are almost impossible to get (EX. Tidus's
Caladbolg needs the Sun Crest and Sun Sigil to get the NO AP ability off.)
Lots of Potions:
While riding the S.S. Liki, go to the bottom deck and enter the first door to
your left. in the Room their should be a brown breifcase on the floor, kick
it 15 times and you will get 15 potions.
Easy Everae Battle (2nd):
When you encounter Everae the second time, (the aeon you fought on the airship)
hit all the locks (the trigger command) to advance to the next area. Keep doing
this until the last door closes on you. Now Everae can't attack you anymore.
Everae has become a zombie, so use 2 pheonix downs or a full-life on Everae
and it will then die.
Potions Anyone?:
On the USS Likki, the first time you get on there, go down into the lower part
of the ship and enter the room with the two Besaid Aurochs. After getting the
chest in that room, go up to the suitcase and press 'X'. Tidus will kick the
suitcase and get a potion. Keep kicking it and the suitcase will give you more
and more potions until it totally runs out. This is definetly good advice for
the beginning players of the game.
