Is anima really worth getting?

For me it was good only when i had low HP and trained against tough enemies and fight against easy Dark Aeons... But for example against Dark Bahamut, Oblivion is not good idea, even with 255 Strength/Magic of Yuna/Anima you manage to do only 98 000 damage with it (in PAL version)... Its only for that you can say "i have Anima" and to obtain Magus Sisters (they are good shield against first Dark Magus Sisters Delta Attack without max HP maxing to Aeons)... But if you dont have Anima and cant obtain her it really isnt worth it to start game again...

Edit> If you dont acquire Anima first time, it means you must face Dark Valefor/Shiva without Yunas Nirvana "upgraded" (because these two Aeons block your path to re-complete trials in Besaid/Macalania temples)... You need Anima in order to fight all Aeons of Belgemine and acquire Moon Sigil...

I think u should only get all the destruction sphere puzzles to get anima well i dont know about u guys but I got anima without getting that knight lance.

[4evarisha]

Really????

[Dell]

All the destruction sphere is easy to obtain if you print the guide.
Knight Lance is not the Bevelle's treasure, HP Sphere is the treasure. Whatever, you still need Destruction Sphere in order to finish Bevelle Cloister of Trial (Unless you're stupid enough to ignore all the items near you including HP Sphere)

And Anima is worth getting. I mean Oblivion hit for 16 times (Attack Reels only hit 12 times). 16 x 99999 = You imagine the damage, even with short animation, the damage is still 16 x 99999, it will pass 99999 damage limit. Dark Aeons: Hastega+Attack Reels+Blitz Ace+Oblivion+Delta Attack+Quick Hit hundred times = Win

[Psydekick]

I hardly ever use anima, just the magus sisters

[4evarisha]

Yeah thats true me too.

[sir helix]

if it wasnt for the magus sisters i would have never defeated sin

[4evarisha]

I like using my characters more.

I'm trying to obtain the dark Aeon, Anima. I go into the Baaj Temple and some of the statues aren't lighting up. What can I do?


There are 6 treasures that can be obtained by using the Destruction spheres in each temple's Cloister of Trials. Miss any one of these and you won't be able to obtain Anima. Here is a location list of which statue corresponds with each temple. If one of these doesn't light up, you have to go back to that temple and obtain the destruction sphere treasure:


Upper left (near door to Chamber of Fayth) - Besaid
Middle left - Macalania
Lower left (near temple entrance) - Yevon Dome (in Zanarkand)
Upper right (near door to Chamber of Fayth) - Bevelle
Middle right - Djose
Lower right (near temple entrance) - Kilika

If you find yourself unable to get back into most temples because you've been declared a traitor of Yevon, just board your airship and select the location called Highbridge. This will take you back to Bevelle to speak with Grand Maester Mika. Once this scene is finished, you will be able to re-enter any of the temples with the exception of Bevelle. The Destruction Sphere treasure at Bevelle is obtained automatically, so you don't have to worry about going back in there.

(Unless you're stupid enough to ignore all the items near you including HP Sphere)

You MUST open treasure (HP Sphere, one of six treasures unlocking Anima) to continue. This treasure blocks your path and ONLY after you open it, treasure will wanish and you can continue.

I will talk about PAL version of game.

And Anima is worth getting. I mean Oblivion hit for 16 times (Attack Reels only hit 12 times). 16 x 99999 = You imagine the damage, even with short animation, the damage is still 16 x 99999, it will pass 99999 damage limit. Dark Aeons: Hastega+Attack Reels+Blitz Ace+Oblivion+Delta Attack+Quick Hit hundred times = Win

Yes the damage is same even in short animation but Celestial Weapons cause "celestial" damage (99 999 HP always if Strength is 255). I don´t know if Yuna´s Nirvana/MP affect Oblivion (how it affect attack) but compare.

Wakka´s Attack Reels (Wakka had 35 000 HP, all attributes 255, World´s Champion) vs. Dark Bahamut = 90 000 (cca) x 12
Anima´s Oblivion (Yuna had 999 MP, all attributes 255, Nirvana) vs. Dark Bahamut = 92 000 (cca, in short animation) x1

Anima´s Oblivion is weak vs. many strong enemies and i have done 1 500 000 HP damage with it only to some of them from Monster Arena (the weak enemies don´t count of course). My point is that you don´t really need Anima to defeat Dark Aeons + Penance. It´s just one more shield to block deadly attacks.
And Dark Bahamut will "eat" you with that tactic what did you mention (Impulse = 9000 HP with 255 Defense/Mag. Defense + his Overdrive grows too fast). Even some other Dark Aeons will laugh at it.

Where is the 6th temple?
I destruct all of the destruction spheres. In Besaid, Kilika, Macalania, Bevelle and Djose. I cannot find it. :P
Please HELP ME!

Go to Zanarkand, where was "tetris" game and activate all white squares. Then use Destruction sphere, open chest, and you are welcome in Baaj.

[10-Breaker]

Anyone thought it was Zanarkand ruins that you missed?
Cause it is a Temple of final aeon and there is a treasure(s) too.
