Recommended abilities: Breakdowns/Full Break
Recommended RW: SG/SS2, Lunatic High, Boon


Cavern of the Stolen Fayth ++

Boss: Yojimbo (~186900 HP)
Add: Daigoro (No HP, not targetable)

• Defeat Yojimbo without being KO’d.
• Defeat Yojimbo before he uses Zanmato three times.
• Win without Yuna being KO’d.
  
  He's all about the physical baby. No magic attacks, Zanmato has a chance of KO, nothing you can do about it. Just take it to the face (and s/l) like a champ.
  

Weak/Absorb/Resist/Null: None

Vulnerabilities: None

Recommended abilities: Draw Fire + Retaliate, Power Breakdown, Protectga
Recommended RW: SG/SS2, Lunatic High


Yevon Dome +++

Boss: Spectral Keeper (~156000 HP)

• Defeat Spectral Keeper without being KO’d.
• Defeat Spectral Keeper before it uses Berserk Tail three times.
• Afflict Spectral Keeper with Slow.
  
  All physical damage here as well. He is able to counter attacks with an AoE so watch out for that. He uses a Glyph attack that puts a 20 second counter on someone. If that character isn't defending when it reaches 0 they die, otherwise no damage is taken.
  

Weak/Absorb/Resist/Null: None

Vulnerabilities: Silence / Slow


Recommended abilities: Slowga/Tempo Flurry, Protectga, Power Breakdown
Recommended RW: Lunatic High


Mt. Gagazet【Ultimate】

Boss: Seymour Flux (~247000 HP)

• Weak/Absorb/Resist/Null - None
• Vulnerabilities: Poison / Sap

Add: Mortiorchis (~27400 HP)

• Weak/Absorb/Resist/Null - None
• Vulnerabilities: Slow

• Defeat Seymour Flux before he uses Ultimate Dispel three times.
• Afflict Seymour Flux with Poison or Sap.
• Afflict Mortiorchis with Slow.
  
  
  • Ultimate Dispel is scripted and happens at 75% and 50%.
  • Bring AoE heals to help out with things like Gravija (heavy damage proportional to HP to all) and Total Annihilation (heavy non-elemental damage to all), oh and Cross Cleave (heavy physical damage to all), and also -ga magics (heavy magic damage to all), not to mention his dual cast of single target -ra magic.
  • Keep mitigation up as much as you can
  • Remember Mortiorchis will drain HP from Seymour when its HP gets down to 0, which is why AoE can be helpful
  • After ~50% Seymour is able to cast Reflect on himself so be prepared for that
  
  

Recommended abilities: Shellga, Protectga, Full Break, AoE
Recommended RW: SG/SS2, Boon, AoE heals (Hymn of the Faith)

Airship Part I, stage 1, Sin Left Fin drops GPO

[kuronosan]

Looking more and more like my setup for Ultimate will be:

Lightning + Lightning Steel, Thundara Strike + Dismiss (Red Wings)
Crushing Blow

Lulu, Darkra + Ruinga (Doublecast)
Focus

Kimahri, Lifesiphon + Venom Buster (Ace Striker)
Mighty Guard

Yuna, Curaja + Diaga (Mako)
Hymn

Y'shtola, Magic BD + Dispel (Mog)
Stoneskin

RW: Boon

Thought very hard about using Tidus or Greg but the AoE from Lightning is too beneficial compared to randomness of Tidus and the only reason to bring Greg would be to use Banishing and Armor Strike in lieu of Dispel on Y'shtola, since I can jack his defense up to 400+.

[Ratatapa]

Currently planned setup, like usual opinions and tips are welcomed. I put the RW i'm gonna use in each SS titles, and for the ultimate I took a setup from Kong website and changed a bit to reflect my group edit : will probably hone shellga to R2 due to Ultimate dispel X2

Fucking killed the bonus battles.

[Ratatapa]

Seymour so dick

[Ratatapa]

is total annihilation magic or physical?

With both breakdown it still did 3k

[Mertron]

1/2, lost first try to three straight cross cleaves before the first dispel, lol. second fight was a breeze.

Spoiler: show

blood of espers is fun

edit: wrong pic

[arus2001]

He's dicking me over pretty good. Frequently double/triple attacks before first UD if not CCing. After that one, he loves to Gravija and immediately Cross Cleave, likely killing 4/5 my party. Got him past 2nd UD, but he goes on to TA before I get any actions in. Gonna eat my dinner before trying some more, but I suspect RNG is gonna keep at it.

[Aerin]

It's magic damage

[kuronosan]

Magic. Kim nullified it completely.

[Robertfb]

Had to reset because I only brought magical mitigation, waiting on stamina to retry, breezed through the other bonus battles.

[Ratatapa]

After 1.5h of s/l I fucking did it

[kuronosan]

By the way, Ultimate Dispel DOESN'T dispel Kimahri's Mighty Guard. I set him as my RW.

[arus2001]

Just beat it on my 3rd or 4th attempt since trying again. Didn't master, though, because nothing would stick. FML

[Auspice]

Expected to steamroll everything but Seymour is being just as much of a cunt as he was in his actual FFX fight.

I'm really digging the Ultimate Dispel followed by Gravija and an immediate Cross Cleave. /golfclap

[Tyrath]

Tried Seymour with HH RW. Could instantly see there was too much AOE damage I wasn't healing. I swapped to Hymn RM next try and won 1/1 easily.

...Unfortunately neither my Sap nor Slow activated LOL. But i wasn't gonna pass up a free win. Will try again tomorrow.

Setup

Spoiler: show

Thinking I'm gonna swap Ace Striker on Beatrix so she can SB more. Lightning had 3 full bars but was too busy trying to land Slow the whole time.

[Melena]

By the way, Ultimate Dispel DOESN'T dispel Kimahri's Mighty Guard. I set him as my RW.

Any word if this applies with quina's mighty guard as well? If so I may swap sazh out for her.

[Draylo]

My setup for Ultimate:

Spoiler: show

I used Emerald Light instead of that RW though. I had Quina land Poison on the 2nd try and then Heroic Harmony lowered his DMG quite low. Steal Power + Lifesiphon and then Bartz used his SB to land sap, I originally intended for both Poison and Sap to be on but I couldn't get them at the same time but it worked out nicely as he always had some kind of DOT on. I LOVE that double cast black magic RM, it proc'd three times for a lot of dmg after the Multiabsorption.

Any word if this applies with quina's mighty guard as well? If so I may swap sazh out for her.

It isn't a special effect like Khim's MG, its just Protect/Shell and can get dispelled.
