Penance is an optional boss that appears in the International or PAL version of the FFX game. It pops up after you defeat all the Dark Aeons. It's quite a challenge given that most of the Dark Aeons are about the equivalent of Nemesis and Penance is only a bazillion times harder.

I can't really help you with Penance (since I beat him with Zanmato and all xD) but I suppose Quick Hit is a must on ALL characters, or else you won't even get a second hit in before you die.

Can someone post a screenshot from penance i wanna know how he looks

[Yliette]

As far as I know, Penance has the highest HP of all bosses in the history of Final Fantasy. If Emerald from VII had it over the roof then I don't wanna imagine how much Penance has. Heck I don't even know how he looks like!

This website has a videoclip of penance:

and this site has pics that some guy took of his tv:

and he has 12 million HP... plus half a mil for each of his arms, which you have to kill numerous times... and i have not yet beaten him, i came close once, i think, but in his second form he uses an attack called judgement day, which does 99 999 damage to all!!! very bad!!!

[Yliette]

Judgment Day!? 99,999 damage to all!? WTF!? How the hell do you escape that!? :eek:

I know! Using the Aeons as meat shields!

Do a goolgle search for Split_Infinities FFX walkthough. It details, step by step, a stratagy to beat penance with a 100% success rate. That's right, there is no way you can lose if you follow the guide to the letter...

Penance isn't that hard...

[Motaro]

So Penance does not appear in the NA version of FFX?

[Old Manus]

Because they're all pussies and will take the game back because "It's too godamn hard, man".

[Motaro]

Aww man, I was hopin to face a good challenge.

[Ultima Shadow]

Penance isn't that hard...
Depends on "how" he's fought. :greenie:

[ThroneofDravaris]

I guess If you try fighting him after using clear spheres to wipe out your entire grip would be quite hard....

[Motaro]

Who in their right minds would wipe their entire grid?

[ThroneofDravaris]

Insane people?
