It’s not mandatory, but you’ll get less experience the less damage Don Tonberry does. So you need him to do 99,999 damage because that’s the max experience per hit you’ll get from the trick. After a few turns, you’ll get 99 levels. The amount of damage he does is determined by the character that hit him. The more kills they have, the more damage he does. So if you’re ok with doing the trick more times, than it doesn’t really matter, but it definitely helps speed up the whole process. Anymore questions, feel free to ask 😊
Do you have the settings right? You should be getting a lot of experience. You need the triple ap, overdrive to ap, and triple overdrive to get the max stats. And you also need to have the attacking character on stoic overdrive mode, with the other two on comrade.
He did miss a very key point is that when your catching eyes u need to catch at least 5 of each to unlock one eye I figured it out also thank u so much for the video. Like this so people who need help see this tysm
I know I'm a little late on this but I just did this yesterday and you only need 4 of each eye enemy. I had 10 for all except the one in omega ruins, only captured 4 and it worked
I’m replaying the game for the fifth time (because I love it so much lol) and I never really got to max out my characters or get their celestial weapons. But now I’m going to try this trick and see what happens!
I just started playing again on Xbox, this will be my 7th or 8th time replaying the remaster. And I been doing this trick for a while now. It works and makes getting ready for the top bosses easy
@@Midnight_x_Sin I’ve done it but I can’t get the celestial weapons for the others pointless since they can’t go beyond their damage limit. I only had auron and yuna fully restored.
This guide fails to mention that you need to capture FIVE of eyeball monsters to unlock the One Eye. Took me a long time to work this out. Hopefully everyone else doesn't waste their time.
Lol you're right 2,000,000 is over 300,000 lol. Just thought that was funny. I had to pause the video to make sure there were 7 digits. Love your channel though man you have been an invaluable part of my playthroughs and saved me alot of stress. Thanks for all the help
You sound INCREDIBLY similar to 4-8 Productions. I actually had to do a double-take. Overall, good quality video. I think the text on most of your "slides" was too small though, considering that a decent number of people are going to be watching this on their phones. Even on a laptop screen I had to pause and read some of the information again.
@@Soldier1stClassi only have like 551 kills with tidus i dont know where is a good spot to farm fiend kills but i guess 40 levels per tonberry run does it as well
I've done this before but a bit different. I remember being able to switch out every character and getting all of them the xp, plus I'm pretty sure I actually killed the tonberry. I don't know though, it's been probably 10 years since I did it
just found out you can do this without the one eye trick first, the only difference is that you wont gain as much AP but will still give you a good 30-40+ ap each time against don tonberry. all you need is to equip ap->overdrive and the three characters you wish to lvl up or if you flee or escape you wont get anything at all. (for players who dont want to go through the hassle of one eye)
Using her overdrive is inefficient. You'd always have to have her in the party and will always have to get her overdrive refilled. Thatll slow down the process of getting all characters max S Levels

Man I been playing ffx since 2001 and have never even heard of this trick! I also have never fought the dark axons or penance because the international version wasn't available in the US then (at least I dont think so because I was like 10). Thanks man! Great info!

Broooooooouuuuuu this shit is craaayyyzaaaay. Thank you so much bro did the butterfly shit yesterday with yo help now I finna do this instead of loosing hours hustling for AP
im confused i have all the fiends but one eye isnt available Edit: i looked it up sorry i didnt know but you have to capture 5 of each love the vid keep it up
Everyone needs to have it. It turns the characters overdrive bar into exp. So that character has to have that effect active on them or it doesn’t work.
Okay this video is the best one I have ever seen has all the information you need in one spot at the very beginning of the video so all I have to do is pause it and complete that information and then you go into describing the rest of it very well done
okay so. as long as you have overdrive > AP and 999 kills it's STILL insanely busted. I'm not sure doing the extra grinding actually saves time that point. however. by the time you have 999 kills for one guy then that's also enough time for a lot of things too
Honestly by the time you get to this point, someone on your team should have that many kills. Wakka’s just the easiest because he affects most enemies in some ways, especially flyers. And then when you get into fights with 3 and 4 enemies at a time, you can really rack up the kills with him.
I never heard of this before. I didn’t know we still got exp for escaping. Do we get items too? Because Dark matter was hard for me to farm (stupid chocobo race).
It honestly depends. Some fights are longer than others. I would say as soon as you feel he’s too close, flee. There’s no harm in testing how many hits you can get in and just fleeing.
Hey dude! thanks for this, I did this trick years ago and I playing now in Steam and I don´t remember well how to do the tonberry trick.. and this is the vid with the most perfect explanation that I watched. I have a question.. to defeat all the dark aeons, Nemesis and Penance you have to fill all the sphere grid with all the characters.. but I have a doubt of the amount of spheres I have to get to replace the empy ones.. I want 99.999 HP - 999 MP - 255 str - 255 def - 255 mag - 255 magdef - 255 luck... how many of each spheres I need to get to those numbers?
Honestly I’m not sure tbh. If you’re going the stats route, you’ll need a lot. If you’re going the Yojimbo Kill everything route, you might not need any lmao
@Mariano Meschini You don't want to waste an ability slot for Break HP Limit. That's the most common misconception for many people. Crunching the numbers, the community has found out long time ago that you can do every fight with the 9.999 cap and you then can use the free slot on the armor for another ability. Best end-game gear has: Auto-Haste, Auto-Protect, Auto-Potion and Defense +20% Also, as soon as your Luck value reaches 205 you don't need to put ANY points in your Accuracy value because with a luck value of 205 you will always hit (well...as long as your aren't blinded ^^) even if you had 1 Accuracy. Next advice: as soon as you hit 170 Agility nothing changes compared to the Agility value being 255 except the very first turn in the fight but not to determinate if the enemy or your party has the first hit but only in which order your party members turns are placed. So with both, accuracy and agility, you can stop farming these quickly and save some precious grinding-hours = )
I have always wondered why Tidus, Auron. And Wakka gets so many AP because they killed over 900. I usually use Rikku to steal and Yuna to heal. Rarely uses Kimari or Lulu in a fight after Seymour on cliffs of Mt. Gagazet.
When you're filling the grid, the most annoying part is actually running out of red spheres pretty quickly. When that happens, just grind Kottos with the Extract skills. Should give 40 each time. If you already grinded strenght, Tidus and Wakka is all that's needed. I use Victor Overdrive mode, and I one shot Kottos with either Attack Reels or Slice Dice, previously hitting him with the Extract ability of the spheres you need.
I tried FFX several times but every time it came to Blitz-ball i broke off. In the beginning i want to level up fast but how does one get there. First 999 small kills? And then?
I’d say it wouldn’t really matter because you can only top out at 99 levels, so hitting it more than what’s required for 99 levels doesn’t really do much for ya.
No quick attack doesn't make it faster, but you don't really need your attacker to attack a bunch for the trick to work. In fact, it's better to not haste them and just attack normally until Tonberry moves forward 4 times. That's plenty of time to get your 99 lvls worth of damage and extra attacks just waste time or you may even kill the Tonberry if you're strong enough
By the time you reach this segment of the game where you need to use this trick, at least one of your characters should already have it or be really close
MrBahamutt90 there’s no real way other than doing damage to Don Tonberry and seeing how much damage he does to you. If he does 99,999 damage, you’ve killed enough. If not, then use that character in an area where you get large groups of enemies and just start slaying haha
I had the same problem. Try talking to the guy a bunch of times, because he only uncovers one monster per talk. And I mean start talking to him all over, not just use the chat option.
Yes everyone needs the weapons. Thankfully it's easy to get both overdrive > ap and triple overdrive on a weapon because one-eye drops triple overdrive weapons for everyone eventually if you battle it enough times
How do you get enough items to give all six of your party members the triple overdrive though... you need 30 of a certain item for one weapon, so 180 in total. You only get 99 from the monster arena, so you need 81 more. Bribing costs you 900k gil for 15, so I don’t see how that can be an option?
How is it my characters only get around 20/30 levels? I'm even killing the little green bastard at the end. And before anyone asks, yes, I do have this setup.
You should be getting 99 levels. If you’re missing triple overdrive, or triple AP, you won’t get as much. You have to have the exact setup for the trick to work. And I’d recommend not killing him. Do just enough damage to get him to hit you, and that’s it. And it has to be a character with 999 kills that hits him. So use that character exclusively for a while, then go back and do it again. I always use Wakka for the trick, since I feel like he’s the easiest character to rack up that many kills with.
@@Soldier1stClass I'm sorry, I don't want to sound like a dick, but what does "and before anyone asks, yes, I do have this setup" mean? I have everything. I'm not sure about how many kills my characters have accumulated but both Tidus and Auron take 99999 damage with every karma, so I'm always using them as sacrifices (Wakka only gets about 89000, so he's out). Triple AP, Triple OD, OD > AP, sometimes even BDL (as a fourth slot on the weapons, not as an alternative to the three main abilities). I don't know why but after a dozen or so turns of Tidus/Auron hitting the tonberry and getting karma'd, either after running or switching to the celestial weapon and killing it (both Tidus and Auron have finished their grids, so I don't care if they get less AP with their celestials), Rikku and Lulu (the ones I'm training at the moment) only gain around 25 levels. Again, yes, they have weapons with all three abilities, they're set to comrade, one casts life, the other haste on Tidus/Auron.
@@Soldier1stClass I've found the problem: my sacrifice character was wearing an armour with BHPL (with a total of over 60k hp); I switched Tidus's armour, reduced his HP to 9999 and bam! 99 levels for everyone!
Thank you Simone I am having the same problem (same setup but they only get 12 levels) it would have to do with my sacrifice character having 31518 hp by the sounds of it.... changed that bhpl armour out to a non bhpl one and working much better now!
I know this is quite an old video so I dont fully expect an answer but theres always a chance. Is there any way I can find out how many friends my character has killed? Because I've done my best looking everywhere I can but I just cant find it.
Hit a tonberry and whatever damage he does with karma divide it by 100. That's how many enemies that character has killed. That's the only way I personally know of to find that stat.
I will start off with this, I don't have the OD>AP on the weapons, but I get 0 every time I escape, but I have Titus on stoic (999 kills), Yuna on Comrade, Kimahri on Comrade, all 3 have triple AP on Weapons, shouldn't I be getting something or is the OD>AP a requirement? Thanks in advance for the answer
You need all 3 to make this work. You don’t get AP for running away. But you do get AP if you charged any overdrive during the fight and then run away. That’s why OD>AP works. You attack with Tidus, then revive, then defend with the other character, then repeat all the steps again until he’s too close after walking up to you, and then you flee
This guide was super helpful, but for some reason my charaters get only about a third of the exp you do in the video. They all seem to get about 750k even though i've got the setup correct :/ Any advice please?
@@Soldier1stClass Yep, karma is hitting for 99,999 and i have the weapons and overdrives set up exactly, but they still only get a third of the exp i should be getting.
@@Soldier1stClass Im wondering if its the fact that tidus has 9999 hp? or possibly because im using Yuna and Lulu with comrade and they arent too far on their sphere grids. I'll keep at it and get back to you. Its not a huge loss anyway, just means i have to kill don 3 times instead of once, lol
Are you using all the right equipment. You need Overdrive to AP, Triple AP, and Triple Overdrive. And the person doing the attacking needs to have 999 kills.
@@Soldier1stClass yes. I have all the correct equipment. Kimarhi is my last one and it got very slow suddenly. Am I only supose to attack with one character?
@@Soldier1stClass Not for nothing, i tell that to anyone. I like the videos to be pure and clean. Otherwise good content though. I figured this out too when playing it. Fun as hell.
Great tips to add 1. If you can't afford winning formulas, overdrive to ap+triple ap will get you 30+ levels per fight so its still very fast! 2. Use auto phoenix armour to automate the revive for faster turns. 3.use an auto haste armour on your attacker to get more turns in. 4. Use slowga on party to get to your turns faster (won't effect auto haste user)
I’ve been using tidus since the start and I’m pretty sure he’s got thousands of kills but karma’s only doing 16,500 damage on him. Can you help? Is there anything else I need to do?

Eldavinhio no problem, glad it helped! Thanks for subscribing again! I just released the Butterfly Hunt video today so you can catch that on the channel also!
ive been playing ffx ever since my teen age years and i finished it 3 times yet ive never seen this trick im in the process to capture all the monsters so i will give this trick a try it will save me so much grind time thanks
I've platinumed 7, 8, 12 and 15. I'm currently doing 10 and found this video incredibly helpful. (I plan to do 10-2 & 9 afterwards, leaving the hardest for last) Anyway, thanks again and keep up the great work.
I settled for double weapon slots. triple ap and overdrive to ap. Took to long to farm items from one eye because I was barely able to beat him. Figured working on my 3 mains will take 3x as long but ultimately might be quicker than continuing to fill over drives before facing one eye then hoping I get lucky with a weapon drop
Do you happen to have a recommended way to get the other rest of the required winning formula materials to add triple OD to the weapons? When you get the x99 from arena owner, it was only enough to add to 3 weapons.
Leveling up and getting stronger is about the only way. It can be a grind until you get the strength to beat it. I’d suggest grinding some of the stronger monsters in the arena til your strong enough to take it down.
Holy crap dude, this is amazing. I don’t even have triple overdrive, only overdrive ->AP and triple AP, but it still works great. I’m only gaining about 30 levels a shot, but 30 levels for literally 2 minutes of work is awesome. I kinda ignored Rikku during the game but with this trick I’ll have her leveled up in no time. Thanks for the video man, cheers🍻
When you attack Don Tonberry, if he does max damage, that’s how you know you have enough kills. His counter attack is based entirely on how many kills the attacking character has
@konsolsport1806 yep! Just trial and error. You may have to go and grind some enemies to get up to 999 but it shouldn’t take you long if you’re already at this point.

Soldier_1stClass is the 999 kills mandatory?
It’s not mandatory, but you’ll get less experience the less damage Don Tonberry does. So you need him to do 99,999 damage because that’s the max experience per hit you’ll get from the trick. After a few turns, you’ll get 99 levels. The amount of damage he does is determined by the character that hit him. The more kills they have, the more damage he does. So if you’re ok with doing the trick more times, than it doesn’t really matter, but it definitely helps speed up the whole process. Anymore questions, feel free to ask 😊
Because I do it exactly but he only does 420k on Tidus then I flee but get no AP
Do you have the settings right? You should be getting a lot of experience. You need the triple ap, overdrive to ap, and triple overdrive to get the max stats. And you also need to have the attacking character on stoic overdrive mode, with the other two on comrade.
So Triple AP and overdrive to AP are a must have?

Thank you man. Huge point. Now I know you need five. That's where i went wrong.

Ok this is SUPER helpful as the other methods I saw for this left out the “you should use the one with 999 kills” bit. THANK YOU💜
You're very welcome!
Even if you don't have 999 kills and use a character that's killed a crap ton, its still gonna net a crazy amount of xp
Yeah i am doing it right now but instead off 99lvl it nets like 40
Do you have the exact setup as the video? Because if you don’t, that’s why you’ll only see that few of levels.

Just a small, trivial question about this trick.

Edit: i looked it up sorry i didnt know but you have to capture 5 of each love the vid keep it up
I still don’t get it tho
Holy hell that is a TON of prep work
But totally worth it when maxing out your sphere grid
Yeah this method is far better than grinding in omega ruins even with triple AP weapon
You can save turns and time by using pheonix feathers before Wakka dies. It triggers Auto-Revive for three turns.
so does Overdrive > AP spill over from the sacrifice character if your characters have comrade or does EVERYONE need to have overdrive > AP ?
Everyone needs to have it. It turns the characters overdrive bar into exp. So that character has to have that effect active on them or it doesn’t work.
Comrade unlocked by normal gameplay.... seems to be everyone except Kimari for me, who has nothing but stoic considering how little I used him
Okay this video is the best one I have ever seen has all the information you need in one spot at the very beginning of the video so all I have to do is pause it and complete that information and then you go into describing the rest of it very well done

I never heard of this before. I didn’t know we still got exp for escaping. Do we get items too? Because Dark matter was hard for me to farm (stupid chocobo race).
No, you have to finish a fight to get the items. Unless you steal but idk why you would steal from tonberry or even if Tonberry has anything to steal
How many rounds do you recommend? Like do I escape as soon as he is within stabbing range?
It honestly depends. Some fights are longer than others. I would say as soon as you feel he’s too close, flee. There’s no harm in testing how many hits you can get in and just fleeing.
How does don tonberry behave if I use entrust on an ally instead of attacking him (after attacking him once)? Is this even worth doing?
Hi! Did this today! But only tidus (with the Triple Weapon equipped ) got a LOT of AP, not auron and Wakka :(
Did you have their overdrive modes set to comrade and their weapons all set up with the same abilities as Tidus?
How can you tell how many monsters a character has killed?
Super helpful and easy to understand guide! Thank you!
Why didn't you use flee with tidus? Instead of individually escaping
Ya know, I’m honestly not sure why I didn’t use it LMAO
@@Soldier1stClass I live on that move lmao when I was monster hunting when I ran into a group I already captured I'd use tidus to flee hahahaha

Next advice: as soon as you hit 170 Agility nothing changes compared to the Agility value being 255 except the very first turn in the fight but not to determinate if the enemy or your party has the first hit but only in which order your party members turns are placed.
So with both, accuracy and agility, you can stop farming these quickly and save some precious grinding-hours = )
@@Bambuzzsprosse Finally I did months ago exactly what you wrote. I got the platinum. thanks!!
@@Meschini1990 Awesome, congratz = )
I have always wondered why Tidus, Auron. And Wakka gets so many AP because they killed over 900. I usually use Rikku to steal and Yuna to heal. Rarely uses Kimari or Lulu in a fight after Seymour on cliffs of Mt. Gagazet.
Yeah I love Lulu but her and Kimahri are borderline worthless lmao
Great Vid but I think you meant 3 million for wakka and 2 million Ap for the character
Where were you when the game came out?😁
What a helpful guide! Thanks a lot! 🍻👍🏾😁
When you're filling the grid, the most annoying part is actually running out of red spheres pretty quickly. When that happens, just grind Kottos with the Extract skills. Should give 40 each time. If you already grinded strenght, Tidus and Wakka is all that's needed. I use Victor Overdrive mode, and I one shot Kottos with either Attack Reels or Slice Dice, previously hitting him with the Extract ability of the spheres you need.
I tried FFX several times but every time it came to Blitz-ball i broke off. In the beginning i want to level up fast but how does one get there. First 999 small kills? And then?
It doesnt worked for me, When I scape the battle, I dont get any AP. It is mandatory to have killed 9999 monsters?
Every step of this video is mandatory
Thanks for the Awesome Ap Level tricks👍
Is using hastaga any good in this fight so you can hit him more times before he walks forward?
I’d say it wouldn’t really matter because you can only top out at 99 levels, so hitting it more than what’s required for 99 levels doesn’t really do much for ya.
Omg you are a good thank you for this trick its amazing
You’re very welcome! Good luck!
Where do you get Wings of Discovery and Dark matters need Alot Lol
If wakka does quick attack but is still killed in the same turn is it any faster? And what about using auto haste armor
No quick attack doesn't make it faster, but you don't really need your attacker to attack a bunch for the trick to work. In fact, it's better to not haste them and just attack normally until Tonberry moves forward 4 times. That's plenty of time to get your 99 lvls worth of damage and extra attacks just waste time or you may even kill the Tonberry if you're strong enough
Should you get triple AP weapons? Would it take with triple ap accessories?
Killing 999 monsters? That is a very heavy heavy grind....
By the time you reach this segment of the game where you need to use this trick, at least one of your characters should already have it or be really close
Hello. How do i get comrade ? I've been battling for a while now and still cant seem to obtain that overdrive.
I mean really the only way is to just defend and let your party members take damage. That’s about the only quick way I can think of to get it.
Brilliant was not sure how to do it. Thank you.
You’re very welcome.
I keep fighting......but no AP gain. Are you supposed to fight him or flee?
Why not just equip Auto-Phoenix?
Does every abilty need to be on 1 weapon or can also having it like this
Weapon: ap-overdrive, triple ap
Armor: triple overdrive
Just curious
I think it has to be on the weapon, cause I can’t remember if there’s a restriction on armor abilities or not.
Thanks!
I have all 10 of of all fiends from stolen faith, but no Don Tonberry :/
Sick
Going for Mark of Conquest👍
How can I tell him many kills my team has?
MrBahamutt90 there’s no real way other than doing damage to Don Tonberry and seeing how much damage he does to you. If he does 99,999 damage, you’ve killed enough. If not, then use that character in an area where you get large groups of enemies and just start slaying haha
You have to count every enemy you kill
I managed to get one eye, but i cant defeat it. Any suggestions or tips to kill him?
I captured all the eye fiends but I dont unlock One Eye???
You need to capture each of them a total of 5 each to unlock the one eye.
I had the same problem. Try talking to the guy a bunch of times, because he only uncovers one monster per talk. And I mean start talking to him all over, not just use the chat option.
Queria saber se tinha como compartilhar com todo mundo, mas todos precisariam das armas?
Yes everyone needs the weapons. Thankfully it's easy to get both overdrive > ap and triple overdrive on a weapon because one-eye drops triple overdrive weapons for everyone eventually if you battle it enough times
How do you get enough items to give all six of your party members the triple overdrive though... you need 30 of a certain item for one weapon, so 180 in total. You only get 99 from the monster arena, so you need 81 more. Bribing costs you 900k gil for 15, so I don’t see how that can be an option?
One Eye drops the actual weapons with triple AP on it already
Does the trick still work if u dont have not even a close amount of 999 kills?
It works, but it’s obviously going to be less efficient
How is it my characters only get around 20/30 levels? I'm even killing the little green bastard at the end. And before anyone asks, yes, I do have this setup.
You should be getting 99 levels. If you’re missing triple overdrive, or triple AP, you won’t get as much. You have to have the exact setup for the trick to work. And I’d recommend not killing him. Do just enough damage to get him to hit you, and that’s it. And it has to be a character with 999 kills that hits him. So use that character exclusively for a while, then go back and do it again. I always use Wakka for the trick, since I feel like he’s the easiest character to rack up that many kills with.
@@Soldier1stClass I'm sorry, I don't want to sound like a dick, but what does "and before anyone asks, yes, I do have this setup" mean? I have everything. I'm not sure about how many kills my characters have accumulated but both Tidus and Auron take 99999 damage with every karma, so I'm always using them as sacrifices (Wakka only gets about 89000, so he's out). Triple AP, Triple OD, OD > AP, sometimes even BDL (as a fourth slot on the weapons, not as an alternative to the three main abilities). I don't know why but after a dozen or so turns of Tidus/Auron hitting the tonberry and getting karma'd, either after running or switching to the celestial weapon and killing it (both Tidus and Auron have finished their grids, so I don't care if they get less AP with their celestials), Rikku and Lulu (the ones I'm training at the moment) only gain around 25 levels. Again, yes, they have weapons with all three abilities, they're set to comrade, one casts life, the other haste on Tidus/Auron.
@@Soldier1stClass I've found the problem: my sacrifice character was wearing an armour with BHPL (with a total of over 60k hp); I switched Tidus's armour, reduced his HP to 9999 and bam! 99 levels for everyone!
Thank you Simone I am having the same problem (same setup but they only get 12 levels) it would have to do with my sacrifice character having 31518 hp by the sounds of it.... changed that bhpl armour out to a non bhpl one and working much better now!
Could have said needed 4x of each to get one eye. Just went and killed one of each and couldn't fight one eye still. 😭😭
I know this is quite an old video so I dont fully expect an answer but theres always a chance. Is there any way I can find out how many friends my character has killed? Because I've done my best looking everywhere I can but I just cant find it.
Hit a tonberry and whatever damage he does with karma divide it by 100. That's how many enemies that character has killed. That's the only way I personally know of to find that stat.
@@bulletproofair Ew maths. But thank you, I'll do just that
I will start off with this, I don't have the OD>AP on the weapons, but I get 0 every time I escape, but I have Titus on stoic (999 kills), Yuna on Comrade, Kimahri on Comrade, all 3 have triple AP on Weapons, shouldn't I be getting something or is the OD>AP a requirement? Thanks in advance for the answer
You need all 3 to make this work. You don’t get AP for running away. But you do get AP if you charged any overdrive during the fight and then run away. That’s why OD>AP works. You attack with Tidus, then revive, then defend with the other character, then repeat all the steps again until he’s too close after walking up to you, and then you flee
@@Soldier1stClass Thanks man, I tried it just with Tidus, worked like a charm, will go get the mats to equip the others
How do you escape from battle? Is that an ability to learn?
Nope, it should be if you hit right on the dpad on the top battle menu, there should be an escape option. Or you can use Tidus flee ability
This guide was super helpful, but for some reason my charaters get only about a third of the exp you do in the video. They all seem to get about 750k even though i've got the setup correct :/ Any advice please?
Are the overdrives set properly and does the attacking character have 999 kills? These are both super important to the trick.
@@Soldier1stClass Yep, karma is hitting for 99,999 and i have the weapons and overdrives set up exactly, but they still only get a third of the exp i should be getting.
Also thank you for the super fast response :)
Hmmm, I’m not sure. Maybe go a couple more turns before escaping?
@@Soldier1stClass Im wondering if its the fact that tidus has 9999 hp? or possibly because im using Yuna and Lulu with comrade and they arent too far on their sphere grids. I'll keep at it and get back to you. Its not a huge loss anyway, just means i have to kill don 3 times instead of once, lol
But why when I try this the tonberry gets closer really fast??
He’s supposed to come closer. When he gets too close, you run away
I only can't do the butter fly quest 😭😭
I have a video for that!
@@Soldier1stClass yea I watched that video but still can't do it
I only gain about 19 levels per turn not 99. Is there something I am missing?
Are you using all the right equipment. You need Overdrive to AP, Triple AP, and Triple Overdrive. And the person doing the attacking needs to have 999 kills.
@@Soldier1stClass yes. I have all the correct equipment. Kimarhi is my last one and it got very slow suddenly. Am I only supose to attack with one character?
Yes. You only attack with the character that has 999 kills. You have to follow the video exactly or it doesn’t work
Ok. I was hoping if I attacked with two characters with 999 kills it would go faster. Lol whoops
Lmao all good. Nah you have to make sure you’re healing the person that is getting KO’d.
Over 300000??? You mean over 3 million!!
Do you need 10 of each of the eye guys to unlock one eye?
I think only 5. But I don’t remember off the top of my head
Soldier_1stClass ok thanks I think I only have 1-2 to from omega ruins I’ll go farm there
Yeah you definitely need at least 5 from what I can remember.
Yeah it was five, finally able to beat one eye. I’m using aarons bashido blade then Yuna enima overdrive
I dunno that there are so many great ffx players around the world, good series better players!
old but gold
It works so damn well lmao
First its cactuar second you go in the desert everyone gets it wrong 😂 you farm your exp and wings at the same time
This helps if you have speres but😭 I don't
You must need 10 of every eye. I have all or most fiends captured for a 10/10 and one eye is still not available.
It’s 5 of every eye I believe.
@@Soldier1stClass yea i jist went with the 10 to make sure. I have Anima destroying him and got 5/7 weapons so far just by using him
I'm sorry but FFX post game is way too meta. I ain't doing all that. Nice vid though.
Omg you had to edit your face into it ... disliked.
So edgy, much wow
@@Soldier1stClass Not for nothing, i tell that to anyone. I like the videos to be pure and clean. Otherwise good content though. I figured this out too when playing it. Fun as hell.
such an autistic thing to complain about lmao
Great tips to add
1. If you can't afford winning formulas, overdrive to ap+triple ap will get you 30+ levels per fight so its still very fast!
2. Use auto phoenix armour to automate the revive for faster turns.
3.use an auto haste armour on your attacker to get more turns in.
4. Use slowga on party to get to your turns faster (won't effect auto haste user)
thanks. knowing that winning formulas can be skipped saved me a lot of time grinding for gils
I’ve been using tidus since the start and I’m pretty sure he’s got thousands of kills but karma’s only doing 16,500 damage on him. Can you help? Is there anything else I need to do?
wish I had known this before I went grinding for levels at omega ruins, but nothing mentioned this as good way to level.
Fucking forums
Wait so you dont have to kill him?
Eldavinhio nope. Not at all. It’s actually better if you don’t. Makes the process much faster. He has a lot of HP haha
@@Soldier1stClass cool cheers! Im currently playing through this again so will def try this! And i suppose ill subscribe aswell 😊

ive been playing ffx ever since my teen age years and i finished it 3 times yet ive never seen this trick
im in the process to capture all the monsters so i will give this trick a try it will save me so much grind time thanks
I've platinumed 7, 8, 12 and 15.
I'm currently doing 10 and found this video incredibly helpful. (I plan to do 10-2 & 9 afterwards, leaving the hardest for last)
Anyway, thanks again and keep up the great work.
X-2...
@@MrRafyu76 he knows what I mean, as did you... clearly.
Geezz no 8(kicks rock) I enjoyed it (skips rock across pond) I wish they remade it.
X-2... HISSSSS... This game doesn't exist in my mind.
@@GG-tx5ie you misunderstood him my man
TIL you can defend by pressing triangle... No more wasting items trying to skip turns!
I love your content, dude. You've helped me out on so much stuff on FFX.
Sorry I'm just now seeing this! Thanks for loving the content, and I'm glad I could help out!
I settled for double weapon slots. triple ap and overdrive to ap. Took to long to farm items from one eye because I was barely able to beat him. Figured working on my 3 mains will take 3x as long but ultimately might be quicker than continuing to fill over drives before facing one eye then hoping I get lucky with a weapon drop
Do you happen to have a recommended way to get the other rest of the required winning formula materials to add triple OD to the weapons? When you get the x99 from arena owner, it was only enough to add to 3 weapons.
Bribe Sandworms.
How much
Thanks I was revisiting this game and this time around wanted to do Dark Aeons !
No problem! Glad I was able to help!
Judging by his tone of voice and deadpan delivery, this took all the fun out of the game
Hey, man. I'm Brazilian and your videos are so helpful!
Anyway, I keep dying to this one eye, you know any good stratregy to kill it?
Leveling up and getting stronger is about the only way. It can be a grind until you get the strength to beat it. I’d suggest grinding some of the stronger monsters in the arena til your strong enough to take it down.
If Yuna is powerful enough, you could just summon the Magus Sisters and have them annihilate it.
Summon anima and use his Oblivion and what you want to do is use that one he has about six to seven thousand Health it will be a one shot every time
The Emerald Enderman Or, If Yuna’s strong enough, Anima’s basic attack will be good enough.
@@yaboi2500 after sending unit down Origins original sphere grid his regular attack became extremely powerful
🙏🏾💯🚦
Holy crap dude, this is amazing. I don’t even have triple overdrive, only overdrive ->AP and triple AP, but it still works great. I’m only gaining about 30 levels a shot, but 30 levels for literally 2 minutes of work is awesome. I kinda ignored Rikku during the game but with this trick I’ll have her leveled up in no time.
Thanks for the video man, cheers🍻
You’re very welcome my friend. Glad to help!
Waste a turn on your stoic with bio or something useless. 🤙
You can also just press triangle or whichever top button to defend and instantly skip their turn
@savagesalvage9449 By the Gods, man. That's easier and less time consuming.
I... I totally knew that. 😅
@@KrusherMike
Haha wanted to make sure! That's ok I miss stupid, time consuming things like that in games all the time
I have all the weapons im just farming 10 million gil to bribe sandworm to fill every characters weapon
this is work in PS4?
It works on all versions of the game
So how i know my character have 999 kills?
When you attack Don Tonberry, if he does max damage, that’s how you know you have enough kills. His counter attack is based entirely on how many kills the attacking character has
@@Soldier1stClass so i shud try attack with all my character then. Thanks
@konsolsport1806 yep! Just trial and error. You may have to go and grind some enemies to get up to 999 but it shouldn’t take you long if you’re already at this point.
