You need to defeat all the Dark Aeons, then he'll appear as a location on the airship (But not if you have the NA edition).
And no, you can't get him as an Aeon.

to each his own, aye?

to me penance is the hardest due to the fact that in order to get to him u need to beat those dark aeons...

and he is damn hard.. even with your max stat-ed character :p

but like i said, to each his own..

Major Numerus from X-2 International would overwhelm both of 'em.

my opinion? u dun have to actually max stat all of u'r characters to do the hunt, but for u even to beat the 3rd dark aeons, u need to full max u'r character, well, other then zanmato-ed them, that is..

though, i've seen in youtube about a person who did the nospheregrid thing and beat those dark aeons using Shiva.. hmmm....

oh, and bro, i've beaten yzmat but i haven't been able to beat all of the dark aeons but hey, like i said.. to each his own..

i've beaten all of then in fact w/o any trouble.. i have to admit i had trouble with penance, the 1st couple of rounds was hard, but it turned out he was really predictable.. and then i got bored.. i lost count how many times i kickd his petuddi.. but yzmat, boy was he trouble, i mean, you dont have attack reels for advantage, no time to think since its ADB system,no slice and dice, no 99999 damage, jus the good ol fashion 9999, its unbearable! i know there is the reverse skill but hey, i still get pawnd anyway..its not how hard you prepare or get to them, its how hard you fight them when your actually infront of them.. "a new legend is born" at least thats what animax said.. took me hours to beat that thing, took me 30mins,40tops, to beat penance.. but i have to say, its true leveling up is easier than maxing stats in X.. not to mention the already given zodiac spear

I'd have to agree with silent ultima here, although it undoubtedly took far longer to wear Yiazmat's HP down to zero, I found Penace a lot harder to beat.
Also, I found the mark-hunting relatively simple compared to beating all the Dark Aeons. But, it may depend on your strategy, I suppose.

yeahh!!

i even found some thread saying that it is damn difficult to beat the weapon in the sea in FF7, yet i beat the crap out of him without equipping any materia.. :p

Thats because without materia, Aire Tam Storm, his (potentially) strongest attack, would have no effect on you.
Although, you still must have had to be a damn high level to do enough damage with your attacks to beat him...

Penance is sooooo hard to beat! I've tried so many times. It's the only thing I haven't done in this game. I will beat it soon, and without Yojimbo's help!

thats all bcoz you guys have no steady strategy
Enjolras

thats all bcoz you guys have no steady strategy

Wow, that sure is a spectacularly uninformed statement.

Having beaten both of them, and found Yiazmat to require far less strategy, I think this is a thread for friendly personal opinion, not generalised, completely uninformed accusation.

hey hey im just saying, beating him requires a steady strategy, w/o it, u get ur a## crushed by judgement day or stone.. and thats it, whats so unfriendly about that.. they keep saying its hard, thats bcoz all they are doing is trying different things at one time.. steady strategy is doing 1 thing(that works) over and over again, u change phase depending on the situation..they keep boosting up HP when all you need is def, luk, and str..

and yzmat is a different story, when you find the strategy for penance you will understand the difficulty of yzmat.. i still say he's the hardest after penance of cors..

again im not being unfriendly, im just saying what your doing WRONG, got it

My use of "uninformed" was simply because as we haven't actually discussed any of the specifics of how we have fought either of them, I don't understand how you can say things like:

"they keep saying its hard, thats bcoz all they are doing is trying different things at one time.. "

and...

"im just saying what your doing WRONG, got it"

Just like you, I'm not trying to be unfriendly, just disagreeing with your rather categorical, and, in my mind, quite unfounded statements.
