super bosses (spoilers)

[aeris2001x2]

how many does this game have? its not hard since vegnegun is easy,but heres my list so far i know of... bare with my sp(ps. remember definition of super boss is a boss harder then the last boss)

MAGUS SISTERS. the first i ever encountered in the game to whopp me multiple times and the first ever super boss u MUST defeat. anima, vegnegun and shuyin were all so much weaker.

that MATERIAL KEEPER CLONE who you must fight three times before vegnegun unless u solve the puzzles. THAT was quite a guardian, got soannoyed when i HAD 2 do the puzzles to get to vegnegun.

the BEHEMOTH KING in the thunderplains. only cause of mighty guard though...and not having dispel. as i say, vegnegun and shuyin are weak.

the ANGRY MANRYU or sumthin in bikanel. that looks quite tough, i want tofight it in chapter 1 but it keeps knocking me away!

KING VERMIN... havent seen him yt

JUMBO CACUTAR...nor him

BEVILLE VIA PURIFICO BOSSES... i hear these are the super bosses greatest members, including this TREMA.how hard is here?

are there any other super bosses i should be aware of?

and do i need the ability FINALE from garment grid THE END to do 99,999 damage? i ran from a tonberry in chapter 1 mushroom rock road on my master playthrough ( it had 9999 hp,i did 100 a hit, hadent saved in ages, too long 2 beat) and hence, cant get that move!

Ok we get it. This isn't the first FF with an easy final boss.

FFX had the Via Purifico, in FFX-2 it's the Via Infinito. The bosses in this area, even with the Cat Nip + Gunner, can easily kill you, no matter how you are equipped. If you aren't prepared for Black Element, it usually uses Ultima it's first move and kills your whole party. If Chac isn't oversouled, it's Heaven's Catarac can obliterate your whole party in one move. Paragon has a similar move, and oversouled Paragon is just crazy. (SPOILER)Trema can be difficult. There is a way around him using Ultima, but then he uses Meteor quite a bit, which can get annoying if he uses it like three times in a row. And the previous two bosses you fight simultaneously with no time to heal, which is even more annoying.

Angra Mairyu is a bit difficult. It's more annoying than anything. It's easily prepared for, and doesn't require that much strategy.

Jumbo Cactuar is not by any means a super boss. It doesn't even attack unless it's oversouled. King Vermin is rather easy.

The Magus Sisters were a bit challenging, but nothing that can't be handled. I was rather disappointed by this fight actually. Passado won't kill you. Camisade and Razzia are weak. And it takes them FOREVER to perform their overdrive attack. Yojimbo wasn't so kind, I don't know why they were. Actually, I'd say that Yojimbo was the most difficult of the dark aeons.

I hated Azi Dahaka. It probably had the highest defense of any monster in the game, coupled with auto-protect. I fought it just so I could get The End GG, and it took me like 45 minutes to beat. I didn't have any of my girls able to be a Dark Knight, and I couldn't get a 777 on Random Reels to save my life. This was the second most difficult boss fight I had.

I am confused by the effects of Finale. I have it, and it does something different everytime I use it. It doesn't do 99,999 damage for one thing. Sometimes it will kill a monster in one move, sometimes it will just do damage. I don't know.

omg ... all the giant bosses in Via infinito.. no I mean random battles... like the GIANT TOMBERRY *dies* *sobs* I still can't beat him! AND HE'S FREAKING RANDOM!

[SeeDRankLou]

Oh yeah, the Elder Drake and Mega Tonberry, both of which are rather difficult. Elder Drake is easily defeatable if you look at it's accuracy stat. Mega Tonberry is just difficult. You have to have freakishly high defense, and even then it still does a lot of damage. Ironically, Mega Toberry is easier to beat when it's oversouled.

[aeris2001x2]

do any of the super bosses touch the dark aeons, nemesis or penenance?

yes there have been others but this was BY FAR the easiest last boss. if i can finish the game at lv 40 easily, that would mean i could finish the game at sumthin like lv 10 when i get experienced. not quite as good as doing ff8 at lv 7, but still low.

by your reference to defense, does that mean you can have max stats in this game!!! i hope so, i thought it might be like ff6 or ff9 in that respect.

[SeeDRankLou]

I don't have the chance to fight the dark aeons or Penance, but from what I've heard of them, I'd say that many of the Via Infinito bosses are matches for the dark aeons. No, not as much HP, but in this game you can't max out your stats. You have to do this by use of accessories, but this won't allow you to max out everything ever. By equipping two Iron Dukes and Dark Knight at level 99 you can almost max out everything, but if it's your first time going up against Paragon you won't even have an Iron Duke, so it's that much harder, even at level 99. Against Paragon, and actually throughout the lower half of the Via Infinito, you are going to want as much HP as possible, which means all the girls have a Crystal Bangle. So that leaves only one accessory slot left, making your choices scarce. That's what's so difficult about these monsters, not their difficulty in comparison to other monsters in other games but your lack of choices in raises stats and having accessories. So a lot of strategy comes into play against these monsters, even with Cat Nip + Gunner. So, to answer one of your questions, no you cannot max your stats. I however like this, it adds to the challenge.

"BY FAR the easiest last boss" hah!! Ultimecia was laughable at best. 4 Lionhearts, 4 Zell combos, 4 Pulse Ammo limits, 4 Wishing Stars, or any comibination and she's gone, end of story, roll the credits. Vegnagun at least gave some challenge.

There's a big difference in your stats between level 10 and level 40. Seeing as how this is the only way you can level up your stats in this game, by leveling up. Accessories only help so much. I'm sure it can be done at level 10, but I don't really care to find out. The Via Infinito is fun, and I wouldn't dream of going in at level 40 let alone level 10.

[aeris2001x2]

sorry, i meant do vegnegun at lv 10, not via purifico.

but i thinki,m screwed cause i,m not doing the game a third time, i want to kick ass now,so i hope i have enough.

isnt one slot for the ribbon? like almost every ff except ff8. what items can i get without fighting super bosses to help me beat super bosses?

[SeeDRankLou]

I almost never used Ribbon in this game, there were very few cases where I saw that it needed to be used. There are lot of items that increase certain stats by 60 points, and that's what I use to start with. I later use things like Iron Duke, Adamantine, Force of Nature, ect ect.

And side note: you didn't really use a Ribbon in FF9 since it doesn't do the usually thing. And I had a Pocketstation imported from Japan and got a Ribbon for FFVIII. Very handy, especially against Marlboros, but normally one outside of Japan wouldn't be able to use it.

[Penance99999]

Lol you aint seen nothing till you fight the dark aeons in FFX.

BTW, america doesn't get the dark aeons. Too bad for most of you guys! They were tough!

Penance is OFFICIALLY the hardest sidequest boss in FF history.

[DMKA]

What/who/where is 'Penance'? And what FF is he/she/it in? I've never heard of this boss before. O_o

[eternalshiva]

They're talking about bosses in FFX DMKA. xD

This is a FFX-2 thread. Stay on topic.

[Penance99999]

Yea. FFX International and PAL versions are the only ones to have dark aeons and penance.

Nemesis is an ant to Penance.

[eternalshiva]

stay on topic! FFX-2! xD *mod whores*

[Kupo]

eternalshiva's gonna lay the smack down on you guys, teeheehee.

crap. this is off-topic too.... uhh... FFX-2! Yeah!

:moggie:

[soulICE]

with a mastered dark knight, you could prolly do without a ribbon since a dk is immune to many status effects.. but your torn since you need gunner with catnip in via infinito too.. i wish there was a three or four slot option.. like FF8? (never thought id recommend something from FF8)

i dont like how the only way you can get auto-life is getting that garment grid (forgot what/how/who/when) it'd be usefull IF i didnt need to have the garment grid that allows you HP/ damage breaks. =[

just what does "the end" garment grid do?

vegnagun wasnt much of a challenge.. two dk's with an alchemist on speed.. your set.

(SPOILER)greater sphere kicked my ass more often than nemesis.. if you cant read this, its not off topic! =X
