Yes it was very stressfull

Back when FFX first released and Gamefaqs was the only resource available, someone mentioned that in certain areas the lightning strikes to the beat of the music. 12 year old me basically somehow found the spot and then closed my eyes and did this essentially blind for 25 minutes straight, when I went back and obtained the Venus sigil, I felt like a literal god. One of my proudest gamer moments ever. This game has some seriously sadistic challenges.

I've done this multiple times for multiple friends over the years without knowing this. It's nerve-wracking dodging them randomly and keeping focus for nearly an hour to do it. I've been hit on number 198 before. This looks so much easier.

@Altair why is that so hard to believe?

FINALLY was able to get the Onion Knight! Thank you! 😊 I think the utilizing the dark circles below the crater for my timing I think really made a difference! I appreciate your final fantasy tutorials!

I dodged 200 lightning bolts by staying in one location and waiting for the lightning to strike. If I knew this method existed, it would have saved time. It's important to pace yourself.

I did the same. That shit was grueling..

Here in 2024 this helped and got me to get 200. I decided to do 25-50 at a time and then take a small break (water, bathroom, etc.) each time to allow myself to chill. Eventually I did 30 more afterwards to be sure and I realize that it was a lot easier when I realized that I already did all that I needed to do for 200.

That was the best tip I've ever seen. Got it in my first try in 18 minutes. Thank you so much :)

I was stressing about this trophy, but this method looks promising.

Another difficult FFX Trophy done! And off- stream. Well done Fuzz this is the best spot to do this. When I did this last year: I counted to 25 dodges and then series of 4 to train. When I got the flow right I scored 8 sets of 25 dodges. SE and their FF Trophies…..cruel

Great video mate this is same location I did mine just yesterday, even though you know its gonna strike its still tense you have to focus, as I messed up around half way through 😫 luckily with no encounters makes things quicker 👍

This is exactly what i did 2 years ago. Followed the same strat and everything and got it on my FIRST attempt. Really is that reliable and easy. Highly recommended strat!

I did it :) managed to do it after watching this video thank you . Also thank you for the 7,8,9 walkthroughs that I now own the plat thanks to you mr fuzz

Yeah I used the same method of running to the dots and back to the crater. I this is probably the only way to do it without rage quitting. Just too unpredictable otherwise. Great video fuzz.

I agree mate, I tried doing it the ‘proper’ way and I think I got to about five or six lol.

Really appreciate traditions part even though i found your playthrough by accident and I'm not the target, i finished game multiple times i really like work you are putting into this ;)

Done it! Taping the button when tidus reaches the crater is actually a HUGE tip, can't thank you enough! :)

I got 200 in my first try using your method. Taking a mini break after every 10 is a good idea. Thank You!

This is the third time I have played since it released and this is SO helpful!

What a tip.. i kinda never dodge any lighting since now... I managed to get the 200 the first time i tried it :) Thanks

Thanks for another tips vid Fuzz.

I will do this once I finished FF12. I already have 5 completed and the dodge is the final one. Also thank you fuzz for doing a great work for the vid. Can you also do a guide on getting wakka's sigil in two ways.

Thanks a lot! Doing this the first two times was exhausting. This third time was much easier. It also helps if you mute the volume. To me, the Thunderplains music is too distracting but with everything silent, it's easier to focus on the flashes.

I kept getting to 100ish and psyching myself out. Marking 10 at a time clinched it in one go. Thank you for your great guides!

Yep my very first attempt I picked a spot and dodged and made it past 100 then messed up. Its definitely possible without this method but this is sooo much easier.

OOOH YOU DID THE THING!? LETS GO!

Perfect video, thanks :D

Only ever done this once ( when the original game released). Younger me had alot more patience for the grind 😂

Definitely going to try this out! Never bother to do this as no…. lol 😂 I just replicated lulus weapons abilities and made her weapon that way. Definitely definitely trying this out

thank you!!! I hated this mini game and just never did it. Now I can actually get Lulu's ultimate weapon.

Thanks !! That is a very good explain.

I found a place that consistently strikes twice, but it’s a bit tricky to get the timing right. I’m having issues right now because the wireless controllers on the ps5/4 and switch have the slightest lag that never occurred while using a wired controller. I’ve dodged 200 bolts on ps2 and pc no problem, even switch will work if you attach the controllers to the actual switch. But if you use any wireless options and hit dodge at the correct time, you get blasted. You have to hit the button before the lightning appears making this much, MUCH harder.

I ❤ you. This saved my sanity and got me the Onion Knight. Brilliant

Ty! I got it done on my second try with 261 consecutive dodges! This will be the first time I've ever fully powered all the celestial weapons!

Thank you for this, got it first try 👍😀

I always used a different method, it does not make it as trivial as yours but it can be done the _first_ time through the Thunder Plains. The biggest problem with the minigame is Tidas' movement. Whether he dodges or evades a strike he is thrown downwards to the south which will eventually put him under cover or right out of the plains. To counter this you need to make him move northwards every so often which in turn adds random battles to the mix. *However,* just to the east of the golden zone from the 'easy' method is an area of the minimap where it hooks around the edge. Standing in here means that Tidas is against a southern edge and can't get thrown further. Without worrying about movement you can just concentrate on the flashes, pause the game after every 10 or 20 to take a break. This is what I _used_ to use though, I've been unable to recreate it on the remaster because I just can't get the very slightly different timing involved.

Following your tips I managed the 200 dodges! I messed up a few times, but eventually got the rhythm down. All the troublesome mini-games are done for me now, I just have to finish up some Blitzball to get Wakka's weapon. Then onto sphere grid grinding! Thank you so much for your guides.

I found it a lot easier to put the headphones on and listen to some music while I did this. Just get into a rhythm and don't try to keep count. Failed about four times and got it on the fifth attempt. Kept going for four songs and ended with a count of 257.

Brill, yeah the more you can do to keep the rhythm going the better.

Been playing this game for over 20 years

Amazing way to get it done cheers

For anyone not wanting to bother with ghosts, Geosagneo (sp?), the big fish at baaj temple, drops WEAPONS with no encounter mod. Unique item because it’s normally only found on armor.

After the first strike in the crater, you can double back into it for an immediate second strike. Makes it go faster.

I prefer this torture over the chocobo catcher for the sun sigil monstrosity. Plus the ditch glitch makes it easier to complete.

When I got the platinum I would run Tidus over the light patch of ground at the edge of the crater. I also counted up until 200 and then kept going until I finally got hit by a lightning strike at about 250.

I remember doing this on the PS2. I usually suppress horrible memories, but this one is burned into my conscience. I wouldn't willingly do this again even if hironobu sakaguchi himself asked me too.

That's probably why I can't remember if I did or not on the PS2 lol cuz it was suppressed o.0 I'm pretty sure I did though, I usually did the completionist thing even if it takes a long time (not like beating the game 4x for the TRUE ending but... this kind of thing wouldn't intimidate me at that time in my 20s) I just remember using a 'sure fire idiot proof' method like this :P. I also remember this was the one game I had to take breaks on cuz it gave me motion sickness. No seriously I played dozens upon dozens of RPGs for hours even days on MMOs but ONLY FFx on PS2 made me physically ill. Loved the game though xD

Nice!

i wasn't able to do this on ps3, i will be so happy if i can do it this time around on ps4

The one time I did this legit in on the xbox series S as it has no way to use a save game editor unlike PC and PSx. I used this exact same spot, when previously I had no chance, however it still wasnt easy, I failed many times, mostly due to the pressure building up the further I got, my successful attempt was when keeping myself distracted by listening to a F1 race whilst doing it, I ended up with nearly 400 in a row, my total dodges to give you an idea of the attempts needed was over 1200. So done this once, never again. Horrible minigame. Also to note on the series s, there is so much input lag, that if you try to press when it flashes its usually too late, so this method is kind of actually required as it involves you pressing before it flashes.

It took me a week none stop back on ps2, during summer break.

Didn't even watch the video. Just came to say congrats. I've done it 3 times and everytime I question if I really succeeded before lol 👍.

When I found this work around was an absolute god send for me was great to finally do after 15 years of trying this along with me taking a full 30 hours straight to finally do the chocobo dodge in the calm lands I was finally able to do all celestial weapons and I found a fun lil glitch after getting the 0.00 seconds not only did get the sigil I got the trophy for beating penance 😂😂😂

Why'd you even bother, I completely didn't even care because it's a waste of time.

This is good advice for this but just to mention in the arena the battles between fiends cost gil. I would recommend to use that to my advantage to capture 10 of each fiend in the area. So if you are low on gil that would be a problem so if you are you are forced to go to that area and grind for it. I think there is 3 crater positions around the thunder plains and the one that you used is the same one I do. It is best to just get used to the movements and repetitively do that movement for 15-20 minutes. People recommend not counting and doing it for 15-20 minutes its also best not to use sound at all. Do not put on some music because that can mess you up with the movement and possibly struck by lightning. Is that other end of your position a safe zone? I didn't think of that before also if you get too bored or something. Just push the pause button but still beware the thunder as it still can hit you but this helps for breaks. Another thing that I would like to mention is that if you did 200 dodges at least for me you don't have to dodge lightning on the way back apparently. I got hit on the way back and I got the sigil I didn't think it worked but it did.

This was something I was concerned about, but turns out its not a big issue.

What's the remix you used for the credits?

Awesome trick

I did the dodging at this same spot, although I didn't actually count my dodges. What I did is set a timer for around 25-30 minutes and just concentrated on dodging, nothing else. 30 minutes should be more than enough time to get 200 dodges.

Two hundred times...TWO HUNDRED TIMES! You people are insane.

After around 150 my palms got so sweaty 😂 I did 10 extra aswell just in case I mis counted

congrats on finishing it man, that is one of the most monotonous challenges in the series, arguably only beat by the jump rope one ... Edit: I have always used a strategy from the oldest Gamefaqs walkthrough for this game

Good news tonight: I've managed to reach 282 lightning dodges in a row without tripping, plus I got platinum for the whole game, thanks for the good advice Simon Fuzz!😊🎮❤️👍

I need press button when the light white apears?

I did this way back in the day without any guide, the old fashioned hard way. That sucked. When I got the remaster on PC, I set up a script that would read the light value, and automatically hit the dodge button. I suffered this once, I don't want to have to do it again.

This actually used to be for Kimahris weapon. Also the trick used to be that if you double tapped the dodge button when you saw the light flash you’d dodge it easily; in my testing so far this doesn’t work anymore and Tidus gets hit almost every time

Wait...I have to do it consecutively? F*ck that. I can't do 2 in a row let alone 200. If the Trophy was for 200 total, it'd be acceptable. But 200 in a row? Nope. I'm out. Thanks for the heads up. I'll just finish the game and ignore the trophies in this one then. I'm way too old to be bothered with sh*t quests like these.

This actually wasn’t that bad it’s the butterflies for me that I can’t seem to do

I've 100 percented the game except for this. Even with the workaround I still refuse. I never use Lulu anyway.

On ps5 there is input delays cos reasons.

Oh man. I'm glad I managed to complete this one. The jump rope i never made without cheats. The near impossible or at least insufferable achievements of ff9 has put me in a difficult spot. I want to move on to another ff game, but can't because of my ocd for platinum. Simply not being able to complete a single achievement without cheating makes me feel like I can't do it at all...

This is insane i cant get the timing down .

I did this once and never again lol

I found this challenge annoying. Untill I started to take my time and once I got the rhythm going I was able to do it in like 2 hrs of trying. Again this challenge is annoying I rather do the chocobo race then lightning dodge game

Is it 200 in a row if so I’m jus deleting this game

These minigames are why I didn't replay FFX very much. Probably 15 FF7 playthroughs for 1 FFX. Sad because this is my favorite game. Just everything was perfect for me...except the tortuous minigames and celestial being locked behind nonsense. The lightning strikes one is the perfect example of why cheat devices should be allowed on single player games. Imagine if Lulu was your favorite character and you simply were not capable of pulling this off. Maybe your reflexes are bad. Maybe you're handicapped. Maybe the game has awful input lag. etc. Oh well. I did it once I will never do it again. I would rather grind for 10 hours to make an ultimate weapon than Lulu or Kimarhi's nonsense. Putting a trophy on this is more diabolical than some of the old Tales series trophies. _shudders from Tales ptsd_

Still can’t do this bullshit achievement.
