Penance is a super boss in FF10. He appears as a location on the airship location menu when you defeat all of the Dark Aeons across Spira. Iv'e never actually fought Penance, I just learnt tjhis from the Solution Guide.

Let me tell you, he's the strongest FF boss there is. If you want a challanging figth, you won't get dissapointed when you stand before Penance.

Someone else clarify this for Grover if I happen to be wrong, but to my understanding, the Dark Aeons and Penance are only in the PAL version of the game and not NTSC.

Defeat all Dark Aeons to fight Penance. The Dark Aeons can be fought during the last leg of the game, before the final battle with Sin. Valefor is in Besaid. Ifrit is located in Bikanel, where Home used to be before it goes 0wned. Ixion is in the Thunder Plains and needs to be fought twice. Shiva is at the entrance to Macalania Temple. Bahamut is at that place where you fought Yunalesca. Yojimbo is in the cave where you found him, you need to beat him five times. Magus Sisters are at Mushroom Rock Road. Anima is in Mt. Gagazet somewhere, but I don't remember where exactly. After defeating all these aeons, you can fight Penance. It's no joy ride either, the Dark Aeons are hella tough (except Valefor) And the only way I could get through them all was with trusty Zanmato. Overwhelmed by a sense of justice and equality, I decided to take Penance on normally, without Zanmato. I lost twice and I haven't played FFX since.

Mo-Nercy³, your info is coorect and to figth Anima you have to do the Wakka-trow-blitzball-into-some-strange-thing mini game. Then the Dark Anima will appear where all the Ronsos is. However, if you can't beat the Dark Aeons without the cheap Zanmato, then you will never beat Penance without it sice all the Dark Aeons is pice of cake compared to Penance.

[Seryn Kai]

If Penance is that powerful, I've got to fight him, the only problem is that I may be tempted to just use Zanmato on Penance too after I beat all the Dark Aeons with it. I want to find the time to start FF10 again soon.

If you plan not to Zanmato it, the basic strat would be to max out all stats (especially agility, strength and HP), have Quick Hit, Auto-Life, Quick Pockets, Auto-Haste, Auto-Protect, Auto-Shell and Ribbon. And finally, a crapload of Megalixers.

Penance's first form has 4 000 000 HP. Second form, 8 000 000 HP. And two arms with 500 000 HP each (but you'll need 6 hits kill it because the damage you're dealing is 99 999.) His first form has only one attack that does 12 000 damage (99 999 if you're on Armour Break and Mental Break) Immediately after, use a Megalixer. The arms must be killed as quickly as possible because they have an attack that deal 15 000 damage and dispel Auto-Life and another one that does Full Break as well as casting curse. Not nice. They can also use a gravity attack that 0wns you if you're on anything less than 3/4 of your max HP. Keep count of how many times you hit each arm so it doesn't end up being a random orgy of confused attacking. You should have 70K+ HP for your party members (I went for Tidus, Yuna and Wakka but Rikku would probably be a better choice because of her Overdrive.) Just attack the arms with one character. Body with another and heal with the last. The second form requires a bit more planned execution of commands. He has only one attack that does 15 000 damange and Mental Break and Armour Break. Also decreases your MP to 0 so heal up with an Elixer. After a character is attacked with both breaks, Penance will instantly kill that character so have Auto-Life ready. He also has an ultimate attack called Judgement Day deals 99 999 damage to the whole party. He'll only use this is both arms are alive so kill the arms.

NOTE: You can use an Aeon to block attacks but do not use an Aeon Overdrive, it will slow down the CTB enough for Penance to kill your Aeon and still have enough turns to kill the party or at least hurt it much.

First there's a detail missed here, It should be: Auto-Haste, Auto-Protect, Break HP limmit and Ribbon not Auto-Shell. There's only 4 slots for each armour and shell isn't that necesarry since almost all of Penance attacks is Pshycical, not magical. However, I didn't use Auto-Protect either, I had HP+30% instead, but Auto-Protect is much more usefull. Then, one more detail: HP MAXED OUT??? 99,999 hp really isn't necesarry, I only had around 40,000-50,000 hp and that included my HP+30%. The only stats that need to be MAXED OUT is defence, agility, strength and maybe accuraty (one missed hit can lead to game over). You also need something around 120 luck.

and I thought Penance was in FFX-2....

[Ultima Shadow]

and I thought Penance was in FFX-2....

Well, he isn't. He's in FFX only and no other game I know.

[UltimateSpamGrover]

Penance is only in FFX International, is that what you guys mean?

[Ultima Shadow]

Yes.

[UltimateSpamGrover]

Then why didnt anyone say that at the beginning????

[Lord Chainsaw]

All this talk about how challenging he is is making me wanna fight this clown.

Too bad I don't have this International version. They don't by chance sell this in the US, do they?
