2) Boss Battle: Crawler

Crawler Boss Guide

Start the battle with Rikku, Wakka, and Tidus. The Crawler boss has a floating machine companion that prevents the use of magic. The Negator must be destroyed before you can use magic. Have Wakka destroy the Negator while Rikku attempts to Steal from the boss. Have Tidus provide support abilities in the initial stage of the battle.

Once the Negator is destroyed, switch Rikku with Lulu. Use Reflex to buff the active party her first turn. Then, let Tidus use Cheer and Haste to all, but prioritize buffing Lulu. Once set, let Lulu burst the boss with Thunder or other Lightning abilities. Make use of Focus to increase the amount of damage she does. The Crawler has a unique ability called Mana Beam that takes three turns to fully charge. Hit the boss with four magic attacks to redeploy the negator and interrupt the mana beam.

3) Boss Battle: Seymour

Seymour Boss Guide

Start the battle with Tidus, Rikku, and Auron. The boss fight starts with Maester Seymour and two Guado Guardians. At the start of the fight, both Guado Guardians will cast Protect on themselves while Seymour uses Shell.

Have Rikku Steal Hi-Potions from the Guado Guardians to prevent them from self-healing. Then, have Auron Threaten the Guado Guardians to prevent them from using abilities. Have Tidus buff and damage the Guado Guardians.

Next, switch Auron and Rikku with Wakka and Yuna so that they can use Trigger Commands on Seymour. Together with Tidus, finish off the Guado Guardians before focusing on Seymour. Make sure to use NulBlaze, NulShock, NulTide, and NulFrost to deny Seymour’s magical attacks.

The fight with Anima will trigger and Tidus tells Yuna to summon Shiva. Heal Shiva until she builds her Overdrive ability, Diamond Dust. Use Diamond Dust on Anima for heavy damage. Repeat the process until Anima falls. After the aeon has been defeated, switch two active party members to Auron and Lulu. Have Auron use Magic Break against Seymour while Lulu will continues to burst him down. Yuna’s nul skills will guard against Seymour’s strong magic.

Defeating Seymour and Anima will grant you an Ability Sphere. Stealing will give you Silence Grenade or a Farplane Shadow.

The boss battle starts in a similar fashion to Maester Seymour with two Guado Guardians. You can start off with Rikku and Auron against to Steal from and Threaten the Guardians. Also, have Wakka in your starting party to hit the Wendigo with Dark Attack. Make use of Auron’s Power Break to lessen the Wendigo’s damage.
