Walkthrough Part 17 – Sanubia Desert Strategy

A myriad of enemies appear in the desert. Here are a few that may pose a threat to unprepared parties.

1) Enemy: Zu

First forced encounter as you take your first step into the desert. Cast Slow and wait for Zu to move.

Auron will appear. Have him use Power Break to lower the Zu’s attack power. Cast Haste on Auron with Tidus, then Delay Attack/Delay Buster the enemy to gain a turn advantage. Have Lulu cast one of her most damaging spells after she arrives. while Auron inflicts regular Attacks to whittle it down. The only damage you should be wary of is Sonic Boom.

2) Enemy: Cactuar

Despite their appearance, Cactuars can instantly kill an unprepared party member. Cactuars possess fantastic evasion and armor, which make them impervious to almost all attacks.

The best way to take them out is to charge your Overdrives by saving them in your encounters in Sanubia. You can earn a huge amount of AP and gear by defeating them.

3) Enemy: Sandragora

Enemies that ambush you when you walk through the sinkhole. Compared to the other enemies you encounter in Sanubia, Sandragora do not pose much of a threat, though they can be a nuisance with their Confuse ability.

Perform some preventive measures by removing weapons with Waterstrike and replace your armor with pieces that have the Confuse Ward or Confuseproof ability.

Have Auron use Armor Break and have Wakka put the Sandragora to sleep to buy time for others to use their attacks and spells.
