Strategies

Whats a good strategy to beating Braskas Final Aeon, Right now im stuck on this part and yes, My character pretty much suck although I spent alot of time leveling them.

Try and get ODs available on all of your characters and aeons. Then unleash them.

If you don’t want the easy way out: Keep attacking those moving pilar thingys on the sides until they stop. If they’re moving, they can make the battle harder than it is (by curing Braska’s Final Aeon or casting magic at you). Cast Hastega on everyone, and if you want to Shell and Protect. If you have the Use command on most characters, try and use up some of the awesome items you have. If you have some that doubles your HP, casts Shell on you whole party, and reduces your MP cost to 1, why would you not use them when you’re at the last battle? Then just use your strongest attacks and ODs as they come up. Keep an eye out on those pillar things (if they start moving again, stop them) and also for the boss’s OD. If it’s close to filling up, have Tidus talk to him to bring it down. If you can’t get Tidus to talk anymore, make sure everyone is on Protect and full-cured, and also press triangle so they defend. This should reduce the damage down by a lot.

Hope I helped.

Ack, you got to it before I did <B>Vivi</B>. sexpot

Anyways, I’ll still offer up a strategy of my own:

There are two pillar-shaped things that cure Braska’s Final Aeon. They are called Yu Pagodas. Do not waste your time trying to take them out of commission. Instead, use Zombie Attack on BFA. By doing this, the Pagodas will damage the boss everytime they try to cure it.

During Tidus’s turns, you may have the ability to speak. When you choose to talk to BFA, it greatly reduces it’s Overdrive Guage. But, you should only speak to it when it’s Overdrive is almost full. You only have the opportunity to speak a couple of times, so I would recommend saving it for a later point in the battle.

*SOME SPOILERS*

After you have dealt 60,000 HP damage, Braska’s Final Aeon will transform. Once this happens, cast Protect and Auto-Life on the entire party if you can. Also, use any Overdrives that your characters may have now. You can also caste Hastega and use such curing items as Mega-Potions and Megalixers.

By now, BFA Overdrive Guage should be near full. Talk to it by using Tidus’s trigger command. That will deplete some of it’s Overdrive. When you think you have BFA’s health low enough, you can summon your strongest aeons to try and finish it off.

Unfourtantly, I have neither auto life or zombie attack. I tried getting an ultimate weapon once and decided it was way too friggin hard. Basically if I use Shiva, Bahumaut, Ifrit, The Lighting Horse, AND Flying Bird Guy ill deal 60,000 HP damage. And then everyones overdrive+if I got zombie attack/spell w/e I could prolly beat it. Anyway, I Have NEVER once tried to upgrade my weapons, Kinda dumb but yeah, By zombie attack do you mean weapon upgrade, or spell.

Zombie Attack can either be Customized to your weapon, or you can use it as a Skill attack. If you don’t have Auto-Life or Zombie Attack yet, I can pretty much guess that you need to level up quite a bit more. Or maybe you should try to get someones legendary weapon, as that would improve your odds as well.

i would sugest just training your chars more make them stronger, it may take a while but it is worth it the ending is unbeleavable. so train train train. and make sure that every one already has there overdrives full before u even go into the battle even and especially the aeons. and if u have anima or the mangus sister use there od twice with yunas grand sumuning. that sould help u get through it. once u kill him it is a straight shot casue the rest of the fights u have auto life so u dont have to worry about it.
