hey how do u beat dark aeons because ive found dark bahamut and dark ixion and i died to both of them in 4 moves i used yojimbo but that failed...any suggestions?

also what is the point in dark aeons?

Dark aeons are just an extra part of the game, another challenge if you will.
You basically need break hp limit and break mp limit on your weapons, and you need to have most of your stats on 255, except luck that isn't really important.

Like Adamski said, they're just a harder challenge. So if you use Zanmato, the whole point of having them there is defeated.

I suggest you leave them until you have higher stats. You should raise your luck up to the hundreds otherwise you'll have a hard time even hitting some of the later Dark Aeons, and this is with 255 accuracy.

If you're ready for them, go for Dark Valefor -> Dark Shiva first since they're far easier. Save yourself the trouble; you don't need neither Break HP Limit or Break MP Limit. Just get 255 Defense and Auto-Protect, Auto-Haste, Auto-Phoenix and Ribbon. But that would be the ultimate armour for the Dark Aeons. You can make do without some of them depending on the Aeon you fight. You can substitute Stoneproof in for Ribbon usually.

But basically, if you're going to fight them, use fully powered Celestial Weapons. Have 200+ stats except Luck and Magic for the earlier Dark Aeons (Valefor to Shiva), and 255 for the later ones (except Luck and Magic) for the rest. You shouldn't need to use Black Magic. One more thing, always use Quick Hits for physical attacks, and Quick Pockets for items. Yuna is useful due to her One MP Cost ability, and you can use her to summon Aeons to block Dark Aeon overdrives.

But anyway, do some stat raising first. Otherwise you'll just get creamed.

poo i need to kill bahamut to get to the sun crest thats all i need to get tidus last weapon completed grr stupid dark aeons!!!

you should have got it after being Yunalesca mate

so you can get them in the american versian too?! cuz i read online it was only in international. (the re-released japanese version)

Dark Aeons and Penance are only in the PAL and International versions.

I got NTSC | U/C version of the game, i can get the Dark Aeons also in this version? Ive been going back to besaid so many times, but the summoner that posses that dark aeons isn't there..

Is the dark Bahamut in the dessert?
If so, i found him to be a pain in the ass to kill.

oooohhhh... i'm jealous, i wish i have the PAL version. i only have the american which doesn't have the dark aeons.

believe me it took me ages untill i was able to beat them and i only just recently beat the magus sisters(because of the little ones passado) and if you do have their celestial weapons fully upgraded then it will make it alot easyer

Is the dark Bahamut in the dessert?
If so, i found him to be a pain in the ass to kill.That's Dark Ifrit, who I found to be one of the easier ones to kill. Dark Bahamut is found in the room in which you beat Yunalesca.

You basically need break hp limit and break mp limit on your weapons, and you need to have most of your stats on 255, except luck that isn't really important.

What are you stupid Adamski you dont even need 110 for every stat. The break hp and mp is useful but I beat him so easily even in my rush game.

wow i never new d.aeons wernt in the american version most of them were a synch 4 me except the magus sisters and ixon (i had ta fight him like 3 times)

I've beaten them all except dark yojimbo, he is too hard :(

Like Adamski said, they're just a harder challenge. So if you use Zanmato, the whole point of having them there is defeated.



I know that usin zanmato ruins the point but i needed it to defeat valefor and ill need it again to defeat dark shiva cos i need the macalania temple destruction sphere treasure.
But i swear that i wont use zanmato on the rest of them

dark aeons are easy to beat. well the tips is when fight dark ifrit,shiva,and ixion ,use their weaknesses.dark valefor, just use auron tornado overdrive, 3 times doing it . puff destroy already. dark baamut could get a little tough. just a little. mix 2 door to tomorrow and it deals about 200,000 hp. and after that just use wakka attack reels.dark magus sisters is the easies of all dark aeon.just use aurochs reels and blitz ace and end it all.dark anima is tough. but when using fury flare 2 times it will end. dark yojimbo is a funny battle. i can finish this samurai 5 times in only 30 minutes. this battle is a joke. very easy

i didn't use aeon when fight all the dark aeons. but of course full state and upgrade celestial weapon. thats not a lie. trust me , it will work.

what the big idea. just use sandy(the red magus sister) and just cast razzia or simple attack in a stats of str 255. it will overkill any aeon except dark anima and dark magussister. easy right. trust me , it will work. i use this method and defeating penance in 3 hours starting from fighting dark valefor.

No it won't Razzia will do a maximum of 99,999 damage. Each Dark Aeon has over 3,000,000 HP I believe. Anyway, a list of places to find the Dark Aeons on the PAL and International Versions:

Dark Valefor: Approach Besaid Village after the fight with Yunalesca

Dark Ifrit: Go to the place where Home was in Bikanel Desert. An Al Bhed should say something about her child by the cliff. Head towards the cliff to fight Dark Ifrit

Dark Ixion: You have to battle this one twice. Firstly, go to the Thunder Plains, the third tower from the Agency. Go to the save point, and run past the tower, you should be attacked by Dark Ixion. Still looking for the second one, it's the only compulsary Aeon I need to beat.

Dark Shiva: Return to Macalania Temple after the fight with Yunalesca

Dark Bahamut: Return to Zanarkand - The Beyond (The room where you fight Yunalesca) after your fight with Yunalesca to fight this Dark Aeon

Dark Yojimbo: By far, the second hardest Dark Aeon (only just surpassed by Dark Anima) You have to fight this beast 5 times throughout. Head to the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth. Instead of warping, walk through to the back of the cave to the transporter, step off and head back the way you came. You'll be attacked by Dark Yojimbo. After this battle you can save, but you will have to start again from the beginning of all the battles. Continue through the cave battling Dark Yojimbo

Dark Anima and Dark Magus Sisters I have also yet to find

Dark Shiva and Dark Ixion appear as soon as you've been branded a traitor.

Dark Magus Sisters are at Mushroom Rock Road. Dark Anima is on Mt. Gagazet after you complete the summoner's trial again (throw the ball to hit the core).

also you can fight penace after you defeat all the dark aeons

i think what high summoner yukon said is true. because all dark aeons can be kill by overkill when we hit him n 1 attack and the damage is 99,999 whick razzia can do the job.

Celestial Hits are much more effective than Razzia since they ignore the Defence of the Dark Aeons.

I know Celestial Weapos always hit for 99999 except low stats characters but what stats do you need to make them always hit for 99999? Most of my characters in my old game are low stats and I wanted to know so I can build them up, so I can do all the Dark Aeons again

For a non-critical hit against a non-armoured non-protected enemy, you need 151 Strength to guarantee 99,999 damage providing you're at full HP (Tidus, Wakka, Kimahri, Rikku) or full MP (Yuna and Lulu). Auron needs 190 if he's at full HP.

Against an armoured fiend, Auron will not be able to hit for 99,999 if he is at full HP or does not have a critical hit. You'll have to have Piercing. Other characters need 217 Strength against an armoured enemy.

why don,t you just max all the stats. i don't no is it true or not, but i think the international version has a new game plus, so when you click that , the sphere grid will be on the same location where you stop it, so just play the game about 3 time, and when you played the 4 time, all character will be on max stats without cheating

No that's not true.

so which version has the new game plus other than at ffx-2.

Only FFX-2 has a new game plus feature.

really, but i read some thread and they say that there is a new game plus in ???? version.so , i want explaination

Well whoever said that was wrong.

I just used first strike with Yuna and Zanmato..
I am a bad person aren't I?

Yes now go back to your hole and miss desert...
