Unlock: Unlock 2 Area Conquest fiends | |||
If you intend to max out your luck stat (or even increase it any considerable amount) Earth Eater is almost certainly going to quickly become your most hated enemy in the game. Earth Eater drops 2 Fortune Spheres when overkilled (or Dark Matter as a rare drop if you're unlucky), making him the only way to get more than about 5 Fortune Spheres. Of course, compared to raising your other stats you will need at least 3 times as many Fortune Spheres to cover more than one character. It should be noted that Earth Eater is not a hard battle, just a long one (as with a lot of the original creations). | If you intend to max out your luck stat (or even increase it any considerable amount) Earth Eater is almost certainly going to quickly become your most hated enemy in the game.

Greater sphere is like the [[../Macalania Woods#Boss Battle: Spherimorph|Spherimorph]] from [[../Macalania Woods/]], but as you may have guessed, much, much worse. It counters physical attacks with '''Ultima''' followed up by Hydraulic Press, if Ultima doesn't kill you first. Auto life, Auto Haste, Shell Protect and super high stats are needed, especially MAG DEF, DEF, HP and STR. | Greater sphere is like the [[../Macalania Woods#Boss Battle: Spherimorph|Spherimorph]] from [[../Macalania Woods/]], but as you may have guessed, much, much worse.

Unlock: Unlock every Area Conquest fiend | |||
This battle is even more tedious than those with Jumbo Flan and Earth Eater with the sole redemption being that you only have to do it once. This newly designed fiend (found only in the Monster Arena) has a massive 4,000,000 HP and 3 distinct stages. It can attack (sit on) a single character for a most likely fatal amount of damage, use Megaton which inflicts a large amount of damage and confusion, or (worst of all) Slime which can hit one person or the whole party for a fairly large amount of damage and inflict a variety of status effects (armor and mental break, curse, poison, and delay). It can also cast Curaga and Regen. If you are having trouble with Slime, it isn't difficult to silence Neslug which pretty much restricts it to using Megaton or his normal attack. | This battle is even more tedious than those with Jumbo Flan and Earth Eater with the sole redemption being that you only have to do it once.

Unlock: Capture five of every fiend throughout Spira | |||
It takes one hit to kill the head which will stop Ultima Buster's most deadly attack. It then takes one hit to kill each of the arms, which should be killed as soon as they come back. The main body of Ultima Buster has 5,000,000 HP, but doesn't counter anything, making this battle surprisingly easy. Once you have killed the head proceed to just using Quick Hit on the body until it dies. On Ultima Buster's turn he will either use a single physical attack, which depending on your defense and HP you may survive, or use Ultima. If your magic defense is low you may need to call an Aeon to block Ultima Buster's turns, or make sure to have Auto-Life on one of your characters, but other than that this is actually one of the easiest original creations. If you can easily defeat him, Ultima Buster drops weapons with Triple AP, Triple Overdrive and Overdrive -> AP on them. If you don't have them already, these weapons are obviously fantastic for gaining sphere levels, but they also sell for a few hundred thousand Gil which makes your job of maxing out the sphere grid a little easier. | It takes one hit to kill the head which will stop Ultima Buster's most deadly attack.

Shinryu looks like Evrae, and it's one heck of a lot meaner too! To start the battle you limited to Wakka, Rikku, Tidus if you havent been working on rikku or wakka it is going to be a tough fight Shinryu has 2,000,000 Hp. 2 perfect reel or 3 blitz ace should win if your strong enough. | |||

This is difficult, so you should have 255 in at least Strength, Accuracy, and Agility (you can get Strength Spheres by killing the Juggernaut). You'll also need Quick Hit to finish him off as quickly as possible. For weapons, use the fully upgraded Celestial Weapons or any weapons that have break damage limit. For armor, try to get as close to the following as you can: Auto-Shell, Auto-Protect, Auto-Haste, and Auto-Phoenix. You can get four-slotted items from O'aka in the Macalania Forest, at the junction between there and the Thunder Plains. Now, if you don't have those abilities in your armor, it's okay, you can survive without them. Just make sure '''everyone''' in your party knows Auto-Life, and you have at least 4 or 5 Mega-Phoenix's. You should have Auto-Life on (preferably) one person at '''all''' times. This way, when Nemesis uses either Armageddon or Ultra-Spark, he'll be revived, and you can use a Mega-Phoenix. | This is difficult, so you should have 255 in at least Strength, Accuracy, and Agility (you can get Strength Spheres by killing the Juggernaut).

Whatever you do, do not attack with anything besides Quick Hit, Nemesis will counter Attacks, Overdrives, Black/White Magic, and items with Ultima. You should use Quick Hit since he is immune to all status ailments, and skills are the only things he won't counter. You can also hit repeatedly a heck of a lot more quickly with Quick Hit. Now, just unload everything you can on him, hit after hit. It should take around 15-30 minutes for the person with average stats. If you have 255 in all stats (besides Luck), it should take about 10 minutes, but that's only if you're willing to work for it. If you haven't prepared and equipped at least Auto-Life the battle could be lengthened to around 45 minutes or more. Not fun, at all. If you can survive his Ultra-Spark ability, watch out, because it inflicts status ailments, including poison. | Whatever you do, do not attack with anything besides Quick Hit, Nemesis will counter Attacks, Overdrives, Black/White Magic, and items with Ultima.
