Final Fantasy X - Dark Aeons & Penance Boss Guide - AI, Tips & Tricks

► Intro: The first 8:30 is me discussing things like "when should I take on the Dark Aeons? What stats should I have? Which armours should I use?" etc. Valuable information for newcomers to the game and the Dark Aeons.

► Dark Aeon Timestamps:

"Easier" Dark Aeons - Can be done with same stats that you used to defeat the Monster Arena Original Creations.

►Dark Valefor - 8:30 (Part 117 of Walkthrough)

►Dark Shiva - 28:32 (lPart 120 of Walkthrough)
►Dark Magus Sisters - 37:02 (Part 121 of Walkthrough)

Harder Dark Aeons - Need better stats (especially luck) to make these battles easier for new players.

►Stat recommendations - 54:36
►Dark Bahamut - 1:00:15 (Part 122 of Walkthrough)

I am completely done with FFX but still watch all these videos just because I like your passion and effort put in towards this game.

[Revivingessence]

"So what does this mean?" "This means that you are fucked" - 1:34:44 . Best quote of the video

[ohmusicalme]

I still remember my first dark aeon encounter without knowing what they were. Thunder plains, thought I found a secret when i saw a guy standing there that I'd never noticed and boom, I learned what Thundaja is.

[oldscoolest]

Dark Ixion has an infinite chance of inflicting sleep when he attacks you.

Interesting, I never noticed considering he 1 shots me at every attack...

Unbelievably detailed guide, 10 out of 10 in my opinion!

[ironsentinel]

1. Zanmato.
2. Create a wall of shame.
3. Put a photo of yourself on the wall.

Thanks to your guide, I've finally defeated the dark aeons and Penance. I really appreciate it, keep up the good work!

I'm just listening to this in the background and need to say that you CAN save in between Dark Yoji battles and continue onto the next one, it's just that if you die on one of them and reload the save, the Dark Yoji battles reset. That is all, continue with your FFX awesomeness

[Airmaan]

This is definitely the best guide I have seen on YouTube. Thank you for putting this together for us. Making all these clips, editing, and adding all the captions probably took you days, if not weeks. Thanks for helping out the FFX community :)

[DANEMAN]

Theres no way im going to attempt this but I had to say other YouTube channels should take notes on your set up / layout. The gameplay with the attached notes is awesome lol.

[chestrugg]

Dude, thank you. This is the first time I've even gotten to Penance let alone beat it, and I've been playing this game since it first came out hahaha. Never occurred to me before that Luck was so important! Won't be long now until I get the Platinum 😁

[politicalscientist]

I've never even HEARD of fighting the sisters individually

[mitchfinn]

dansg08 back at it again with original and well-made FFX content. Thank you for continuing to support and inform viewers on this game 👍

Subbed!! FFX was the first game I played where after 40 hours, I was still having fun with it. It's also the first game I hit 300 hours in that wasn't an MMO. Your guides are fantastic.

[playknightboy]

I was doing Dark Valefor fight last night, he wasn't such a pushover asi thought

I defeated him, and to my surprise, he dropped a 4 slot armor WITH Ribbon for Wakka, my jaw dropped, because i was thinking on doing Dark Yojimbo Dark Matter farming, this will make things so much easier now

I love the guide, there are pretty good tips and tricks here.

[andrecardoso]

I remember back when I played FF X on my second run I had over 500 hours played and never got to beat Penance. It was too overwhelming but back in the day things were tougher without YouTube walkthroughs.

[truegamer]

i gotta say FFX graphics was ahead of its time, who agrees

[Matthew_Klepadlo]

Dark Ixion also has the most accurate attack in the game with aerospark at 290, so as long as you have…

35 luck and 255 evasion…
255 luck and 35 evasion…
145 luck and 145 evasion…
90 luck and 200 evasion…
Or any combination of luck and evasion that adds up to 290…

You’re dodging any attack in the game no problem-o, daddy-o…
(Especially with evade and counter)
