I was just wondering if anyone has actually defeated the secret boss Penance in FFX.

With or without Zanmato...preferably without, but in dozens of attemps i can't even get Yojimbo to do it once.

If you beat him (it?) without Zanmato, how did you do it?

Definitely the hardest boss i have ever faced in any game...

It's GAME ON!!!

I have the international version, but whenever I beat Dark Valefor my game hangs. I've tried it with my firneds copy and the same thing happens. He said he was able to beat all the Dark Aeons and Penance... I think it's my file that has a problem... I wonder why? I never used a GameShark with it. I'm replaying it.

Yeah, I live in Australia so i have the 'international' version.

The dark aeons were all pretty easy (once you learned their patterns and pumped everyone's stats) except for the Magus Sisters, you just have to absorb their Overdrives with your own aeons. Magus sisters i only beat with Zanmato, thats why i want to know if its possible to beat Penance without it.

It's GAME ON!!!

It's possible. I think I've watched a video of it at www.youtube.com . It took the player few hours to beat him.

max stats all characters,have ultimate weapons, HP must be about 60,000 (that would be enough), have all the overdrives. i think that pretty much all you need to beat him.

Whaaa, I hate Dark Ifrit, I killed him like 20 times to get an armor with 4 slots and ribbon for a character I didn't already have that, I nearly went nuts. But I'm still (for like 1 year) maxing my stats and pimping my armors with auto-haste before I go for Penance. I'm watching that video, though (thx for the tipp), but it doesn't look that intimidating, that guys characters have 40k HP and mine have 80k atm, so it could be possible *starts to his PS2*

It is possible, I did it. You need your luck to be above 120 on all characters. If you don't then you don't have a change of beating him!

I'd do it if i had the time...i've got enough other games to worry about before i try to do the one last thing in a game...

Still it would be nice to go back and do it without Zanmato at some point.

Thanks for the tips guys.

It's GAME ON!!!

Gamewise just the dark aeons and penance (don't have the US though). There's also a bonus disk with interviews, artworks, trailers, previews to Kingdom Hearts (1) and the music video of 'Suteki Da Ne'. The Japanese International version (yeah, sounds weird) additionally features 'Another Story'.

If you are able to fight the Dark Aeons in your version of FFX, then yes, you have the Interantional Version.

If they're all dead, who would auto-phoenix :D? You have to kill his arms so he can't use that attack. From what I've seen in that movie on youtube, that guy uses Rikku for hp/mp replenishment and tanks attacks with Sentinel while Tidus and Wakka Quick Hit and Wakka uses Attack Reels now and then and Tidus Entrusts his overdrive to him. I'm guessing Tidus and Wakka use a Triple Overdrive weapon and overdrive mode is comrade. From watching, it doesn't look that hard if you leveled enough, but doing 10 million damage is time consuming.

fighting penance itself looks to be the most borring thing in the entire game all he dose is attack with his fists and use that ultimate destruction attack... I don't think you're missing much with him but the dark aeons are a really fun extra (its just a shame they don't have much standing in the plot).

On a related matter, how should I finish my maxing? My party has all stats nearly maxed (finetuning at the end), luck is at 120-130 and HP are roughly at about 75k. I still have a few empty nodes and I planed on pumping HP to the max (99999 looks cool), but since 15k more or less doesn't really matter, I was thinking about pushing luck. Any ideas? I know luck slightly affects everything, but is it worth the work?

I just maxed out all the stats except hp and mp for all my aeons and other characters, only 1 with 99999hp is bahamut, you could push luck considering you've already got 75k and 60k is enough to take on anything that won't own you in 1 hit anyway, also make sure theres no 1s or 2s, frees up a few more nodes, almost half my spehere grid is still free, for if i want to raise hp, :D
