Final Fantasy X 100 % Checklist
This is a simple and quick checklist of everything you (me) need to do to finish the game "Final Fantasy X" to 100%.
It won't be very in-dept, but just a checklist with links to further guides.
The names of things in the game (aeons, monsters, items, ...) will be mentioned in English (En) as well as German (De) (as I am playing the game in German) and links will be in both languages too.
Also, there will be references to what I've already done myself, usually hinted to with emojis (✅, ❌, 🔲, 🔳).
Walkthrough
First you'll just have to play through the game, but consider 3 things, while doing so:
- Better select the basic sphere board (Standard Sphärobrett). The difficulty of the game doesn't really change, but I'd argue that the standard board is actually more appealing to advanced players (who want to finish all the post game quests and stuff), because you simply don't have to spend quite as much time with that (but still many, many hours). ❌
- There are some areas and items you have only one chance during the story to get to. There is no way to get them later. I'll list them here later. ❌
- Also there are some items that will be really hard to get to if you don't use the first chance, as they will be hidden behind black aeons. ❌
First (easy) postgame stuff
- Access the hidden locations (guide: De) ✅
- Initiate the monster farm ✅
Stat maxing and hard bosses
Preparations
- Get all aeons ✅
- Catch all monsters 10 times to unlock monster farm creations ✅
- Get "no encounters" items (optional)
- Get the celestial mirror (De: Solaris-Spiegel) ✅
AP farming
This is a description of how to get AP fast with the don tonberry trick.
Your characters need weapons with these 3 abilities:
| Ability | what you need | where you get that | tips |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overdrive -> AP (De: Extasewandler) | 10x Door to tomorrow (De: Tor der Zukunft) | beat bomb kings (Königsbomber) in the species conquest (De: Artensammlung) of the monster farm | |
| Tripple AP | best get weapons with that and 2-3 free slots | beat One-Eye (De:Flügelzyklop) in the species conquest (De: Artensammlung) of the monster farm | equip armor with ribbon (De: Schleife) |
| Tripple Overdrive (De: Trippel Extase) | 30x Winning formula (De: Siegesrausch) | get 1 by beating Ultima Buster in the original conquest of the monster farm | use Ultima to beat the arms and head and again when the arms regrow |
| get up to 15 by bribing Sand Worm (De: Sandwurm) from Bikanel Island with 600.000 gil |
You'll also need to set the overdrive mode of all characters to comrade or stoic (depending if they or their allies will receive more damage) and have the Auto-Phoenix ability equipped with armor for at least 2 characters.
