Dark Aoens + Arena Help/Discussion

Ok, so I'm trying to catch Valaha from the Sunken Cave but fighting him is very rare, so I was wondering can I fight him outside?

Oh and where can I get more Winning Formula's? I need 'em for the Don Tornberry trick.

Well thats where Valaha is the Sunken Cave and he's not in any other area and you need to catch him there anyway even if he was in another area.

You can get winning formula's from Ultima Buster a monster in the monster arena you can also bribe the sand worm for it though I'm not sure how much.

I did Bribe him for about 900k.
But the damn worm only have me 14!!

I spent an hour trying to catch Valaha but I only fought him once.
Then I got bored and played FFXII

You can get 99 Winning Fromula's from the Calm Lands arena by getting the guy to create the Neslug. Well you caught one of him anyway. I don't think Valaha is that rare I found him very easily.

In a 30 min period this time I got 3 and managed to get Juggernaut.
I kept deafeting him on and on and now Aurons Strength is 229 :D
Do you know what I need to create Neslug?

And how much people do I need that hit 99,999 to kill Dark Bahamut? I know he has 3 mil HP and Juggernaut has 1.2 and he wasn't that hard. I may even use Anima, Yojimbo and the Magus Sisters to help.
Right now I have Yuna and Auron that hit that much.
I'm also gonna do the Don Tornberry trick or Rikku to get her up faster then go to Bikanel Island and get her Sigil.

Well its immpossible to know exactly what you need to create Neslug unless you knew exactly what you caught. Its best just to catch them from every area then just go back and talk to the guy in the arena and talk to him eventually he will create the monsters and catching more of each monster increase the chances of him creating the new monsters.

Dark Bahamut has more than 3 million HP and what makes him harder is the fact that his impulse attack hits all characters. If you have the two most powerful aeons stats really high by having Yuna's really high and by using the spheres to increase their stats yourself then you can use them to defeat the weaker dark aeons but the more powerful ones have special abilities in some of their moves that even the aeons aren't immune to.

Hmmm, ok.
Well I'm trying to get Ribbon for Auron's Pheonix Bracer (Auto-Pheonix, Auto-Haste and Defence +20%)
I may aswell try to beat Ifrit or Shiva when Yuna and Auron's Stats are maxed, but first I get Rikku's Sigil.
And for Neslug I have to catch every type of fiend once.

I only need to go inside sin, I have caught all the others in Spira.

Well it would be really hard to say exactly how many fiends you need to catch for each monster creation thats why I said its best if you catch all the fiends and having more than one of the fiends means that the guy in the Calm Lands arena will create the monsters faster.

You'll need to have 3 characters with stats maxed if you are going to fight the Dark Aeons and you will definately need to have break HP limit for all of them.

Since the dark Aeons are the most powerful bosses in the game having ribbon won't protect you if they have special abilities to cause status effects.

Hmm, ok but don't the Dark Aeons drop the Break HP limit armours?

I only got 2 atm

Minerva Bangle (Break HP limit, Auto-Regen,HP +30%)
Super Goalie (Break HP Limit)

But I necessaraliy have to have Break HP limit if I have Auto-Pheonix on 2 characters, I can still win.
Dark Aeons hit 99,999. I think.

Well as the 4th Ability on Auron's Bracer what should I put?
Auto-Protect?
Auto-Potion?

Sometimes they do yeah but not always and your not gonna want to try and fight them over and over to try and get the Genji armour's after successfully beating them.

Yeah but it will just make it easier if you have a very high amount of HP.

I'd use Auto-Protect. Auto-potion won't do much good considering how much the damage the Dark Aeons can do.

Ok, so Ribbon is kind of useless?
I already have 19 Dark Matters. What should I do with them?

The best thing to do is to mix them in Rikku's overdrive to use supernova its useful against the Dark Aeons.

So I just mix 2 Dark Matters?
Does it do 99,999 Damage?

Oh and managed to max Auron's and Yuna's stats, now to Rikku.
I can't quite understand how to get her Sigil.
I tried looking at Walkthroughs but still I can't understand.
I do know that you have to kill Cactuars and put spheres on the rock .

No aound 20,000 but its still useful.

Thats exactly what you have to do. There are 10 catuars they are all in Bikanel. After you get each sphere just use the next clue to find the others.

Ah ok, I'll get to it tomorrow.

I have an idea. Can't I get enough Dark Matters for Break HP Limit instead of continously fighting to get Genji Armor?

Dark matters are used for break damage limit and it would take a while to get them too. The item you need for break HP limit is wings to discovery and they are just as difficult to get you need 30 for the ability. There is a place where you can get 30 as a prize and that is from the chocobo race under the Remiem temple but after that its pretty difficult to get them.
