whats a good lv to fight this guy and what spells and dresspheres to use

the best level is 100
and the dresspheres i used 2 gunners with catnip and a white mage but thats probably a bit problematic if you havnt played through twice

i used lvl 99's
1 berserker(yuna) with champion belt+key to success,with undying storm garmet grid.
1 lady luck(rikku) with catnip+crystal bangle and (forgot which grid)
1 dark knight(paine) with kaiser knuckles+crystal bangle(also forgot which grid)

yeah it took me a couple of trys,but then rikku pulled out a few good dice with catnip status on and took trema out in a few trys.yuna was a healer.I know theres better strats out there,but thats what i just used.

check out gamefaqs

This boss is so hard! i stil haven't defeated him but my friend has and shes good.
She said have 3 catnips (by playin the game 3 times through!) and three ribbons (which you can get on the first go at the game, believe it or not. I found this easy using the walkthrough).
The best dresspheres to have are mascot completely maxed out because Yuna can cure the whole party in one swoop. Then you kick his sorry little bum off the face of the planet.

This is the most hard battle in the videogame!

TREMA (this guy have about 999999 of HP)
• Start level: 99
If you have Nipcap all will be more easy.
Start the battle with 2 dark nights and one gunner. Make sure you have tons of X-Potion and Mega-phoenix mainly. Your dark knights should be at full HP all the time in case he uses metor which will surely kill your yellowed HP gunner. If one of your dark knights is dead either by Flare or combo attacks, use the Gunner to revive her which will bring her back at 9999 HP. (for the accesory that you have). When none of your characters are dead or need healing, use quick trigger happy on him with the gunner. Repeat this since you win.

{you need to have the accesory for do this in the gunner, this gunner needs be on the maximum level}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you don't have the accesory requered, use 2 dark nights and one gunner too. Make sure that you have tons of X-Potion, Mega-Phoenix and Mega-Potion (alchemist in this case, its only a waste of time) If you're hit with Gravity, heal with mega-potion.
You can use a white magic if you think that's the best option.
Remember that this will be a long battle indeed and you can be hit with his powerfull attacks. But remember that this will be a very long battle indeed and you'll be hit with plenty of Flares and Meteors. The first thing you need to do is resuit one of your character to samurai and use the move which does major MP damage. Keep doing this since his MP change to 0. Then keep doing the same that I explain before =)

I hope that this be helpful ^^

thanks Candy Lenne, i'm gonna try that idea.
Do you think it would be better to use Mascot dressphere? See, i have that dressphere and I have nearly maxed it out on all three characters and you can learn ribbon so you don't need to equip that then you can equip somethin beta?
:)

The last time I did it I used all 3 on mascot, all lv 99, and with Yuna and Paine breaking damage limit. I used Yuna's Moogle Beam and Paine Inflate a Cactaur attack (I can't remember what Paine's attack is called) and was dealing 25,000 each time. Rikku's mascot sucks so I just used her for healing. Oh, I also used a ton of something that got rid of all his MP, but again I can't remember what it was, so the only thing he could cast on me was flare, I think...

It's been ages since I did it so I apologise for how severely vague this is...

Duality --- I basically use the same strategy you do. Except I might have Rikku in a different dressphere to do some other attack that can do five-digit damage. I also like to use abilities like Berserker's Howl to double HP and whatever the item is that doubles HP --- I think maybe a Stamina Spring. Then I have away at him. I don't usually bother to sap his MP though --- Yuna's Moogle Curaja / Regenja usually takes care of the HP issues that the doubling of the HP didn't.

This one's probably long gone, but I'll take a shot.

If you haven't played through it first, use this combination:

Yuna - LV 99
Highroad Winds
Gunner
*equip an accessory to lower her HP by half
*unequip that, equip Key to Success
*equip Cat Nip

Rikku - LV 99
Higher Power
Alchemist
*equip Adamantite
*equip something with Auto-Haste

Paine - LV 99
Higher Power
Dark Knight
*equip Ragnarok for SpellSpring
*equip something with Auto-Haste

Obviously with this, you'll start out with Yuna. Use Trigger Happy LV3 to do about 100,000 damage straight away. If she dies, use Rikku to use a Phoenix Down. Have Paine move around the Garment Grid for Break Damage Limit and Break HP Limit; then have her use Darkness or Charon. Repeat.

I've beaten the game a few times so I have some great equipment, but that's basically how I first beat Trema.

Maybe I'm being ignorant or stupid.

But you get the Mascot Dressphere for getting all "Episodes Complete" in Chapter 5 right? And you need to beat Trema to get Episode Complete in Bevelle right?

So as a first timer against Treme you wouldn't have Mascot me thinks.

But I might just be stupid but I think this is the way it is.

So Catnips are doable, granted that you've been to the Cloister in Chapter a couple of times and beaten the Black Element a few times. And done this a few times ofcourse.

Catnip and Lady Luck effective with the Four Dice, but less chance compared to a Gunner.

If you roll four sixes you basically win, you can also roll four ones, which is less then you'd get from Trigger Happy where you can pop off 13 hits. But that's the strategy I prefer using.

Neo Xzhan --- beating Trema is not required for Episode Complete in Bevelle. This is a common and incorrect assumption. Episode Complete is gained for Bevelle by successfully getting Isaaru to return there. If you do, the Episode Complete scene will play as soon as you enter the path to the temple. Your status for that section will remain at Episode Complete until you enter the room with the transporter to Via Infinito, at which point your status for that section will change to "Mission." Once you beat Trema, your Celsius status for that section will remain as being as listed as "Mission Complete" for the rest of the game. However, this should not keep you from getting Mascot, I don't believe, though I've never checked myself.

I beat Trema first time I fought him but that was after 3 times getting beaten by a deliberately oversouled Paragon.
For an undead guy he sure can punch.
Anyway all 3 of my girls were level 99. 1 was a Cat nipped/Speed Bracer Gunner, while the other two were Dark Knights with HP/Defence boosting accessories.
Firstly I drained his MP via Mana Springs, so all he could do was punch combos and the occasional meteor spell. Then I simply got my gunner to use trigger happy. The other two were there simply to heal and revive.

But you need to in order to get % points don't you?

Well, yes and no. See that whole thing is the subject of a lot of incorrect rumors too. It is not necessary to gain 100% completion in one playthrough in order to get the Perfect Ending. In fact, that's the most difficult and headache-inducing way of doing it. If you start a New Game Plus and give the Awesome Sphere to who you didn't give to before (New Yevon --- if you had been trying for 100% in one and gave it to the Youth League) you'll immediately gain additional percentage. If you then view other scenes specifically related to that group that can only be seen if you give the sphere to them, you'll gain more percentage. This may be enough to make up for any missed by not defeating Trema.

Well I completed it 100% in one playthough as i wanted to see the perfect ending without having to go though the whole game again. Plus I wanted all the bosses beaten 1st time and all fiends oversouled because I'm a perfectionist don't like leaving rock-hard bosses unbeaten.

Well, congratulations then. You "beat" the game and got 100%, but still haven't seen anywhere near everything that it has to offer. Unless you've done a New Game Plus, that is?

No I haven't started it yet due to playing blitzball and making it my duty to train up the Kilika Beasts. Plus I'm still trying to beat the Gunners Gauntlet and get the 2 garment grids from the chocobo ranch.
Anyway doesn't new game plus just allow me to replay the game again, see events due to choosing New Yevon and get Gippals sphere. This doesn't in my eyes make me want to go though it again too soon.

Oh no, New Game Plus lets you do so much more. It allows you try different outcomes for the Mi'ihen Mystery sidequest --- lets you get new items that are only available by making certain decisions (i.e. Key to Success) and lets you view outcomes you would never get to see if you just went for Episode Complete everywhere (the destruction of Macalania forest, alternative outcome in regards to the naming of Wakka's baby, etc.)

My characters were 100 and I had 2 Gunners and Yuna in her Moogle dressphere. I just kept using Trigger Happy (I think that's what it's called) and Yuna doing that one beam laser thingy move. It also helped casting haste on everyone and I cheated by using an auto-fire controller for the gunners :-D.

That still doesn't really want me play again. Anyway doesn't Macalania forest begin to die anyway? Plus as regards to the Mihen Mystery I would want to just blame Rin to get Gippals sphere (which I'm told links to another FF).

Okay, so that's fine. I guess you didn't like the game very much then. Either way, you're still missing about half the game. And there are several other outcomes to the Mi'ihen Mystery besides just that. As for the Forest --- yes, it's dying, but if you save it from the Ronso, then the musicians flee to Guadosalam and play the beautiful KUON: The Troupe Performs. If you don't --- it's burn, baby, burn.

Noooo I thoroughly enjoyed the game and the story but it took so long to complete perfectly.
I just want to have a break from it and concentrate on my other games like Neo Geo Battle Coliseum and DMC3 SE. Plus I'm still playing blitzball.
So Macalania burns if you don't stop Garik? Cool I'd love to see Macalania Forest as a raging inferno lol.

Yeah, it burns. Very much so. You can check it on the CommSpheres in Ch4.

For me, I had them all at level 99.

Yuna:
Gunner dressphere
Equipped with:
Catnip (hit 9999 on low hp)
Speed Bracer (Auto-haste and can caste Hastega)

Rikku:
Mascot
Equipped with:
Crystal Bangle (Max HP +100%)
Speed Bracer (Auto-haste and can caste Hastega)

Paine
Mascot
Equipped with:
Invincible (Break Damage Limit)
Crystal Bangle (Max HP +100%)

Yuna on low (yellow) health, Trigger Happy ripped into Trema with Catnip Accessory
Rikku was used as my White Mage (Mascot can use White Mage abilities)
Paine kept attacking with Cactling Gun (Can deal alot of damage when in a Chain of attacks)

If you don't have Mascot Dressphere then i suggest you use Black Knight Dressphere.

i used lvl 99's
1 berserker(yuna) with champion belt+key to success,with undying storm garmet grid.
1 lady luck(rikku) with catnip+crystal bangle and (forgot which grid)
1 dark knight(paine) with kaiser knuckles+crystal bangle(also forgot which grid)

yeah it took me a couple of trys,but then rikku pulled out a few good dice with catnip status on and took trema out in a few trys.yuna was a healer.I know theres better strats out there,but thats what i just used.

check out gamefaqs

If you have the items you do, I can asume you've played through the game atleast twice. Give pain a double Champion Belt, it's way better then Kaiser Knuckles and Crystal Bangle.

Yes I've realized this later. I saw I had episode complete while I was only on floor 43 of the trials.

I had to start a new game plus, because there were a few episodes concluded, where I'm trying to get the Mascot Sphere.

I assume you mean "Episodes Completed." If you get any Episode Concluded, you do not get Mascot.

I assume you mean "Episodes Completed." If you get any Episode Concluded, you do not get Mascot.

I think I phrased it a little poorly. I had about 3 Episodes Concluded, so I started a new New Game Plus so I could get all Episodes Completed and thusly the Mascot Sphere. Also, I'm at 97% so I'm doing pretty good.

I beat trema in 3 lousy, dissapointing, and overhyped minutes:(

i expected him to put up more of a fight for being the best boss in the game.
heres how i did it

REQUIRED RARE ITEMS:
CATNIP
HEROES DRINK
CHOCOBO WING


1.FIRST GO TO THE CONFIGURATION MENU AND CHANGE BATTLE GAUGE TO SLOW!!
(this is smart to do whenever facing a tough boss)

2. Equip yuna with Gunner Dressphere, catnip, and speed bracer.
Equip Rikku with alchemist dressphere, and 2 crystle bangles
Equip Paine with berserker Dressphere,crystle bangle and speed bracer
Finally make sure all three have the Highroad Winds Garment grid attached enabling all three party members to attack first.

3. beat Paragon while keeping your two characters health relavatively high and your third(yuna) pummeling away with trigger happy lvl 3. It should take 1-2 turns to beat him.

4. Begin the battle with trema by mixing a potion with a chocobo wing. This combination produces a Final Wall. Then use a heroes drink on your gunner to keep her alive while she gives massive amounts of damage to trema every turn. Have the other two characters stay as healthy as possible with an x-potion every round. Its possible that a mega phoenix will be needed at some point in the battle so dont panic if one of the three characters dies. It should be noted that the effects of HEROES** drink wear off after 2 to 3 rounds so about 3 heroes drinks were required in my specific battle. After about 3 rounds trema will be deafeated and your rewarded with one of the best accesories in the game.... iron dukes!


** The only way to get that many heroes drink is defeat the nodes of the second part of Vegnagon. If you have two lady luck's in your party while doing this you will recieve 4 heroes drink! But remember you must defeat the nodes for them to drop anything. Plus the heroes drink is a rare item drop from the nodes so sometimes they only drop megaelixers(their common item drop), so if this happens quick restart your game and try again.

Good Luck!
