Penance/Nemesis

[rissole25]

It takes so long to capture all the fiends of Spira. Whenever I want one to appear, it doesn't appear. Whenever I don't want one to appear, it appears.

That's where patience rears it's ugly head. >_> It helps me to have music playing and to mute the tv.

[rissole25]

Yea...I might just do one area at a time. Like once i get 10 of every fiend in the area, then I have a break for 10 mins

[TherathxRikku]

That's the best strategy. Another thing to think about is most enemies hang out in a single part of an area. Like stronger enemies hang out in the northeast of the Calm Lands, while weaker enemies hang out everywhere else.

[rissole25]

I forgot about that. Well Besaid will be easy since there's only 3 fiends there. I think I have about 4 or 5 of each fiend there. lol

[TherathxRikku]

Wanna hear something funny? Besaid is the best place to get experience if you have the Overdrive -> AP weapons. lol

[rissole25]

Really? I just use the Don Tonberry Trick.

[TherathxRikku]

Cactuar King is most useful if you do it right, if you screw up, you only get about 30,000.

[rissole25]

I read that you don't get as much from Cactuar King as you would from Don Tonberry. I think I could win against it anyway. I'm afraid of 99,999 needles. lol

i think iv captured 10 of every monster for the 1st 4-5 areas...its annoying...my stats arnt good nuf to do that stuff...where to u get hp speres from? and the rest? coz i would like to improve my stats

[TherathxRikku]

You could probably Bribe them from enemies, which ones, I have no clue..

Cactuar King has a glitch if you have Overdrive -> AP. Get Triple and Double Overdrive on the same weapon, then set your Overdrive to Ally and let Cactuar King annihilate any character aside from the one wearing the weapon. Then after you beat it, you should get around 1,000,000 AP.

wow....thats alot of AP....but my tidus has completed to spere grid....jus need to fill in the empty nodes....jus gota find stuff to fill them with lol

[rissole25]

Yea thats the Don Tonberry trick as well. And my Yuna has almost completed the grid. Shes the strongest in my party.

If you want max stats then you have to use clear spheres on anything that doesn't add 4 to the stat. Then you use any sphere on the empty sphere because spheres you add to the grid always add 4. HP spheres just add 300 if added and I dunno about MP spheres. But you don't need MP and HP spheres unless you want to break the HP limit. You automatically reach 9999 HP & 999 MP eventually.

[TherathxRikku]

So many tricks for easy AP. lol

[rissole25]

Lol i didn't know about till I watched a youtube video of someone getting about 60 sphere levels for Auron.
