    You are using auto protect. Thats fine. The 4th slot i consider the wild card. You can put that were ever suits your character best. Your second armour has the 3 key skills i would not battle without. Auto protect like i was saying is useless because if you cant survive an attack with break hp limit then how are you going to survive an attack with a smaller health bar and nothing but a damage reduction of 50 %. I have had yuna to 78 000 hp and she still gets one shotted and takes 4 turns to fully heal using doublecast. How would you regen at 300 hp per turn going to save you while you get wrecked by the fact your missing key armour skills you replaced for hp and protect. 30% hp skill would be better then regen. This is my point right here. Haste doubles your attack damage by doubling turn rate. Ribbon makes one immune to everything but zombie and curse. Auto phoenix brings dead members back without costing a turn and sometimes does it twice in a row bringing back 2 members basically a free mega phoenix that didnt even take a turn to use and then you put protect on that armour when there dps exceeds our ability to stay alive. You havent put a value to the armour slots before filling the so your essentially reduced there capabilties and told every how to play like your an expert. Now i just assume all the end bosses one hit you and plan accordingly and thats over powered. You started from a weak view of make it strong enough and now you need multiple armour sets. You just need one mate.

    I am currently playing this game and I did those minigames on the same day. I remeber struggling a lot with the chocobo race when I was a kid but this time it took me probably something like 10 tries. I did the lighting dodging on my first try using the pillar trick, it took me around 20 minutes, I was impressed with how easy it was. I struggled a bit with the butterflies but once you get the pattern, it's not that complicated.

    Butterflies are simple. Lightning strikes are the worst just because it's time consuming. I can get a 0.0 almost religiously. There are very specific paths to run and the only reason you might lose is rng on balloon positioning.

(which really seemed that way cause she could attack 3 times, dealing max damage, before I even got a single turn)

As you stated, Eccentric is the way to get your charge up, but you can also stack it with Hot Spurs. This completely removes the cheer issue in Ultra NullAll. Yes it's another mix to worry about, but it does help a lot in the second part of the fight. Thanks for such a detailed guide, good to see such hard work being put to good use.

I got tired of the game by the time I captured all the monsters last time, but this time my interest didn't fade. Took me three tries, but I beat pennance for the first time today.

    I’m currently replaying ffx and am getting all the celestial weapons. I’ve never fought the dark aeons before and had no idea bahumat was there. So, while searching for the chest with rikkus crest, I ran into the al bhed lady, had no idea what she said when I talked to her, gave me the option of yes or no, I hit yes, quick cut scene looking over the cliff, starting walking thinking I was just okay to pass her and keep going on my search and then I’m fighting him. One hitted all of my guys and I had forgotten to save after I got the cloudy mirror. Fml

    Yikes. Valefor got me once. It wasn't that I forgot about her being in Besaid, it was her pulling out Energy Ray as a normal attack. I wasn't prepared for that shit. Went back to get Jecht's sphere for Auron and got blown up lol.

    Fantastic video man. Your Final Fantasy X playthrough in general was fantastic and I really enjoyed it, but these videos for the Arena/ Species/Original Creations and this one for the Dark Aeons were just superb. One thing that you didn't mention is that if your Evasion + Luck is over 290 your character(s) can avoid Dark Ixion 1's counterattack in the first battle. That's not going to be applicable for low level/lower stat attempts but it's interesting to note, and is why 290 Luck + Evasion is quoted as the combined figure to go for. Like I said, superb video man.

    According to the Wikipedia page on Penance, the right and left arms have the SAME agility actually. The apparent discrepancy can be resolved if you realize that, initially, the arm's agility is 150. After its first turn, the arm's agility increases to 255. Not that it matters much, but just wanted to point it out. Fantastic video by the way, thanks!

I never looked up where the dark aeons are located because I didn't want spoilers... terrible idea because I ran into Dark Valefor and Dark Magus Sisters by accident and my stats are crazy low. Didn't even stand a chance LOL LOL I love how you call Dark Valefor as "the baby". This stupid bird annihilated me! You are so detailed with your guides, I love it. I can't wait to use your techniques when I finally take on the dark aeons myself :)

So I didn't even know about dark aeons or P Penance. It wasn't until over ten years later that I even learned about them. And thanks to you I have an awesome treasure trove of strategies that have helped me along the way. All of your efforts are greatly appreciated!

    Easiest strategy would be to just grab everyone's Celestial Weapons and Max stats. If you're new to FFX it may take a little longer but if you know what you're doing it would take 2 days tops to max 3 of your characters and just give Auron his Celestial weapon and all battles you'll get to make the first move and after you've maxed stats, you can Quick Hit farm Dark Yojimbo and after you get his gear that's it, that's all you need and these bosses are all made easy.

    About dark yojimbo i have two things to add to: 1.) You can prevent Daigoro from shattering your characters and ejecting them from battle, if you dont have Stone-Proof or Ribbon armor, by having a Luck-stat of 85 or more. When you have 85 Luck, it will only petrify you without shattering you and you also wont be poisoned since you can't be poisoned and petrified at the same time. You will also only need to use Aim 3 times to have a 98% chance of hitting him consistently with only base accuracy ;) 2.) In order to survive Wakizashi without BHPL is by using the same armor you would use against Penance without BHPL, which is - Auto-Haste - Auto-Protect - Defense +20% - Auto-Potion (not really nessesairy against Dark Yojimbo but since you want to use that setup against Penance, there is no harm adding it for later) Without cheer Wakizashi will do arround 8800-9500 DMG to your party. I did these two things multiple times in multiple playthroughs on multiple versions and never even once D. Yojimbo killed me or shattered any of my party members ;)
