If you bother with the lightning bolts, fair play to you. I tried a couple of times and just gave up in disgust.

Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
The way I usually deal with Lulu's sigil is to just put on some music and turn down the TV and have at it for a good hour or so and it'll be done.Originally Posted by Pete for President

That's a damn lot of luck. How fairs your lightning dodging?Just had my second attempt... and failed somewhere near 120. I did turn down the TV, put on some relaxing music and I think it did help a bit.
I'm kinda surprised it doesn't take that long though. This attempt (including small breaks) didn't take longer than about 20 minutes. Better luck next time I guess, I will have my sigil!
Yeah, it's pretty interesting how quick it goes! I failed to mention of course that any slight loss of concentration (which I'm sure you're aware of) usually leads to breaking the streak, yielding a lot of explicatives (especially when you're nearing 200)

Third time's the charm! I am now a proud owner of a fully powered Onion Knight. Ended up dodging about 230 bolts. There were 2 very close calls, but regular breaks helped me keep my cool. Thanks for the support and advice everyone! Next stop: PENANCE. HARRRR!
Edit: Oh wait, have to beat some dark aeons first. Ha!
Nice! Getting Onion Knight is awesome, I feel like sphere grid leveling-up really pays off after that...
OK, dumb question -- the dark Aeons... Where does one find these (en route to Pennance)? Or is this just particular to the 'international' version (and not the US version)?

If I remember correctly the dark aeons / pennance are not in the US version and only in the interderpional version.Nice! Getting Onion Knight is awesome, I feel like sphere grid leveling-up really pays off after that...

Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Onion Knight is awesome indeed. Gotta love it's awkward walking and kick while it does 99999 damage.Nice! Getting Onion Knight is awesome, I feel like sphere grid leveling-up really pays off after that...

Small update:
Stat maxed Kimahri. Only his luck is a little lower than the other strongest party members; 108 while 145 is the standard. Lulu's the only one left to max out. Also fought my way through the first few Dark Aeons, but I have already beaten all of them on another playthrough so no surprises here.

You're really giving this your all, it's impressive. Stat maxing is one of the things I couldn't bring myself to do, ever D:
Don Tonberry and Earth Eater were my best friends in this, I let them pound on Kimahri as if he was a pinata! Overdrive -> AP, Triple AP and Triple Overdrive is such a winning combo : )

That's ridiculous. I will have to try that!
I used King Cactuar for grinding. 10000 needles is great. Have Auto phoenix and comrade in everyone as well.
King Cactuar works well indeed. Especially if you steal Chocobo Wings (used for Auto-Haste) while grinding. Handy!I used King Cactuar for grinding. 10000 needles is great. Have Auto phoenix and comrade in everyone as well.
Just fought Penance for the first time. I jumped in without preparing any kind of strategy and just went for it. (SPOILER)I failed : ( after fighting for about 55 minutes (I could sense I was close to beating him!) suddenly one of the arms popped back right before I wanted to use Wakka's Attack Reels to finish the other arm off. You can guess what happened: instead of targeting the weakened arm Attack Reels hit the newly regenerated arm and Penance himself. The result: Judgement Day on the next turn. Wakka and Tidus were revived by Auto-Life. In those turns I was able to finish off one of the arms, but it was too late. Penance and the left arm killed both characters on their next turn.
