Overview
It all began when I saw this achievement. At least, it looked like one. I couldn’t say for sure.
Disclaimer
Don’t skip any cutscene or dialogue, doing that will affect negatively your total percentage.
This is just a note so you know how to use the guide:
The guide is now complete, you should get 100% in your first playthrough. Follow each mission and bolded part for percentages. (Thanks Jeffoy for confirmation)
If you finished the game and didn’t get 100%, you can use this tool to find out what you missed: [link]
So follow the guide while maintaining your public relations, or PR. Your first visit to the Calm Lands will explain PR. You should start PR in Chapter 1, and you can be over 400 points by Chapter 2 and never worry about it again. If you start in Chapter 2, that’s fine and you’ll finish in Chapter 3 and maybe a little bit of 4. If you start it AFTER Chapter 2, then you’ve missed it.
There are other missable achievements, but if you follow the order of the guide, we will take care of those as they become available marking them off your list. So worry not.
As for the Bestiary, none of the enemies are missable if you follow the guide, Only boss enemies are missable should you not have done the missions; however, all of these missions are covered in the walkthrough. Chocobo Eater @ Mi’ihen Highroad in Chapter 2. Anything Eater @ Ruins Depths in Chapter 5. Anything Eater is missable if you didn’t complete Clasko’s quest and moved him into the Monster Arena in the Calm Lands. King VERMIN! @ Fiend Colony is missable if you don’t have a chocobo farm to use. Azi Dahaka @ Farplane Abyss if you disable the barriers before crossing them.
Once you reach the Farplane Abyss, which is the last area, the guide will force you to encounter Azi Dahaka, then have you come back out to do achievement clean-up. If you’ve followed the guide, you will have everything required for the rest of the achievements.
Also Via Infinito is required to get 100% completion (Defeat Trema) so make sure to do this before finishing the game.

A Sphere Break tournament is being held in Luca with a Dressphere as a prize. You have to defeat three opponents before qualifying to the final match vs Shinra, just make sure to read the rules and save after winning the second match so if you lose, you don’t have to start over again.
Break down of the game: Each player you face has a specific number of turns that you get and a specific number of coins (labeled as quota) that you must reach in order to beat that player. Each multiple you hit is 1 turn. Each Border (Silver) Coin you use, adds 1 to the quota.
Now using the most coins in a single turn is wrong because the coins will not regenerate fast enough for you to ever meet the quota as Entry (Gold) Coins do not count towards the quota. So the best way to reach quotas is by abusing the Echo Multiplier. If you use 2 coins in one turn, then 2 coins again in your NEXT turn, you will get 1+2 for your quota. If you do 2 coins again, it’s 1+2+3, etc. By building up your echo, you can build high quotas while using minimum amounts of coins.
Note: Once you pick an entry coin, you can’t go back.
+ After winning the tournament you’ll be rewarded with Lady Luck Dressphere
Also now that you know how this mini-game works, you can keep challenging the same enemy over and over again to get 10 victories.

Five are on the south end of the plains. Four are on the north end of the plains. After defeating all of them, the lightning continues and you’ll get a map parking pointing to the west side of an area where there’s an isolated lightning tower across the waters. Here you’ll fight Humbaba.
Valiant Lustre Garment Grid automatically received.
Now once the fight ends with Humbaba, you’ll uncover a secret cave where the tower was with Humbaba. Once in the cave, you’ll see a marker that points to Cid. Make your way to him and talk to Cid and you’ll have a boss fight with Panzer.

Ch5 Excavation – Fiend Colony
So, the goal of excavation is to collect assembly parts to upgrade the Experimental Boss. The Boss has 3 main stats: Attack, Defense, and Special.
When digging, you will see white X and yellow X. The yellow X are assembly parts. You’ll get a random assembly of Attack, Defense, or Special. Then you will get a tier that relates to the quality of the item. “Z”, “S’, “A”. A has a weight of 1 quality, S has a weight of 3 quality, and Z has a weight of 5 quality.
To get a stat to Level 5, you will need at least 38 total points in that stat from excavating.
Now, before you upgrade the excavator, you will have to repair it after you destroyed it the first time. Downstairs from the experiment boss, you will see a guy up top with a blue bandana, I assume this is Ropp. Talk to him and he will ask you for a password: MARNELA
After you give him the password, he will give you the manual to fix the experiment.
Once you get that, go back to the experiment and talk to the guy there and he’ll fix it up. Now talking to him will show you the progress of your excavation via levels.
Once all levels are at 5, challenge the experiment again.
Note: Make sure to get Annihilator Blue Bullet before defeating it, this is your only chance. (Not really required for an achievement cause there are way more than 5 but still nice to have)
Obtain Magical Dances, Vol. II
It will be automatically given once completing an episode in each area.

Unlocking Ruin Depths
1 – Head to Kilika Forest and capture a few Chocobos. (10 should be enough)
2 – Go to the Chocobo Ranch and check their Max level. Release all of them whose maximum level is not 5, if you have fewer than four after that, return to Kilika forest and capture more.
3 – Assign the four chosen Chocobos to your runners.
4 – Send them to Calm Lands.
5 – Fight seven random battles.
6 – Return to the ranch and save, then speak to Clasko. If any Chocobos ran off, reload your save and speak to Clasko again until no one flees.
7 – Raise their level to 2. (You must feed them)
8 – Repeat step 4,5,6 and 7 until they hit level 5, only one level each time.
9 – Once they all are level 5, dispatch runners #1,#2 and #3 to the Calm Lands, ignore #4.
10 – Fight 7 more battles.
11 – Now dispatch runners #2,#3 and #4, ignore #1 this time.
12 -7 battles.
You’ll see a scene upon returning to the ranch.
Once you’ve done the above, you’ll gain access to the Ruins Depths, or easier labeled as the Chocobo Dungeon. The inside is a maze, so here’s a map recolored to make it easier on the eyes. We do not take credit for the map.
While any items you want to pick-up are available, the only goal of the dungeon is open up all 5 pairs of doors. This will also require you to defeat the boss, ‘Anything Eater’ whom lies behind the middle doorway. I say pair, because each of the 5 gates has two doors. You must open them in pairs, otherwise the other doors will NOT respond.
Using the map, most of the way is pretty straightforward. The only part I need you to warn you about is the that some of the ditches are one way. So if the area goes from Low to High, you won’t be able to go that way. You can however go High to Low, but won’t be able to go back.
After opening all the gates, simply go to the last gate to reveal the Amazing Chocobo.
You’ll get “Higher Power Garment Grid” as a reward. Note: This is a very powerful Garment Grid that lets you break the HP Limit and passing through all four gates during a battle will let you break the damage limit as well (9,999 to 99,999).
Catch the Amazing Chocobo
+ Episode Complete
Return to the ranch and dispatch a Chocobo to Mi’ihen Highroad, a new cavern will be discovered. The chocobo must be at least level 4. If you’ve done the above, then all your chocobos are level 5 anyways.
Your goal of this dungeon is to simply get to the letter ‘A’. Each pink wall can be broken with 5 small bombs. The rest, I’m not sure about, but keep bombing them until they break. More bombs are available from the enemies you fight here.
Once you get to the A, you’ll face the boss of the area, King Vermin which is a giant flaming vermin type. Dispatch of him. Your only goal here is to kill King Vermin so you can oversoul him for the bestiary.
“Font of Power” Garment

Via Infinito and Monster Master achievement
An enemy will enter in Oversoul status after a certain number of the same type has been killed.
They’re separated by type, meaning you can kill 20 Flan Azul and your 21th encounter with them will be against an Oversouled one, this applies for all the other enemies in the “Flan” category.
You can easily abuse of this feature, for example killing 10 from the “Basilisk” family (like Gucumatz) will make enemies like Chac enter in Oversoul as long as It’s your 11th encounter.
Escaping from a battle doesn’t remove an Oversoul status, just killing does that.

Monster Master – Using the Fiend Arena
For the most part, encountering oversouled enemies in the Fiend Arena is a safe experience; however, there are a hand full of enemies that were improved within the arena itself and thus do not count towards the achievement while still counting towards the oversoul bestiary. So if you see the monster listed here, make sure you have it oversouled OUTSIDE of the arena.
It’s safe to use the fiend arena to specifically farm a type of enemy and thus triggering an oversoul; however, if listed below, you need to encounter its oversoul outside of the arena.

Achievement Cleanup
Change dresspheres on Yuna, Rikku, and Paine in one battle
As the achievement suggests , just change Yuna’s, Rikku’s and Paine’s Dresspheres in the same battle. S it the default key if you’re using the keyboard.
View one complete fiend tale
This achievement should be done as soon as possible.
First, you have to trap an enemy using Pods in the Creature Creator (accessible through Shinra at the Celsius). Once that’s done stuck it in your party and level it up at least 5 times, this is why It’s better to caught it earlier since they will join with your party level.
Now you have to read the tale in the “Creature History” menu and release it.
The achievement should unlock after a short scene.
Use Mix 30 times
Mix is a command that can be used by the Alchemist Dressphere (obtained after completing Clean Sweep sidequest in Chapter 3). Simply combine any items 30 times to unlock this achievement.
Use Bribe 30 times
Bribe is a command that can be used by the Lady Luck Dressphere (Obtained for defeating Shinra in Sphere Break). Simply use this command 30 times.
Note: You can spend as much as you want since It doesn’t have to be successful for it to count towards this achievement.
Achieve a 99 chain attack
The best to use this is against Chac, the snake boss that appears on the 80th Floor of the Via Infinito. After your first fight, she will appear as a random encounter starting at the 71st Floor. When going into the fight, you’ll want all three of your teammates with the Thief dressphere. From there, auto-haste is welcomed, but not required. Using haste during the fight is NOT recommended.
Once the battle starts, space out their attacks so that they continually attack one after the other, interrupting Chac from attacking. Once the chain hits 99, you’ll get your achievement.
Deal 99999 damage with one attack
This is done easiest with the Samurai’s Spare Change Skill. Throwing millions of gil will easily net you 99,999 damage.
Then you’ll need a Break Damage Limit Garment Grid. There are two: The harder one is ‘The End’ Grid for completing Shinra’s Bestiary, but only requires you to pass through two gates. The easier one is Higher Power which you get from obtaining the Amazing Chocobo.
Go into any battle, change dresspheres until you pass through the gates required for Break Damage Limit, then throw 100 million gil and you’re guaranted to land 99,999 damage.
Alternatively, you’ll need to max out stats, go into a fight against a weak monster, lower its defense or magic defense depending on what moveset you want to try. Some of these may require a critical. If you’re having trouble with max strength or magic, I suggest killing Trema and using his Iron Duke accessory.
I’ll list a few skills to try:
Ultima: Max Magic, Magic +10, MDef -10
Supernova: Blue Bullet, Magic +10, MDef -10
Cry in the Night: Blue Bullet, Magic +10, MDef -10
Mortar: Blue Bullet
Annihilator: Blue Bullet
Sparkler: Bushido
Fireworks: Bushido
Mad Rush: Berserker
Note: If you’ve NEVER used Escape, then using “The End” Garment Grid and bypassing all four gates will trigger the ‘Finale’ Skill which does 99,999 damage – 1*(Escape Count). Meaning if you’ve never escaped, this move does 99,999 damage.
Roll the same number on all the Gambler’s Dice
After obtaining the Lady Luck dressphere, simply equip it. Then you can use either the Two Dice skill or the Four Dice skill. Obviously, using the 2 is easier. Use it until you land the same digits on both dice.
Learn 5 Blue Bullet skills
I’d check the Via Infinito section as you can learn nearly all of them there. But I’ll list five easy ones for that you can try to get. I’ll only list their Chapter 5 locations to prevent people from accidentally messing up their story completion.
Note: Mighty Guard and White Wind Blue Bullets, you have to confuse the enemy into using it on you. You cannot use a fiend with it and having it cast it onto you.
1. Seed Cannon | Every Fat Plant | Everywhere
2. 1000 Needles | Cactuar | Cactuar Hollow | Via Infinito F47-59
3. Blaster | Coeurl | Ruins | Via Infinito F27-29
4. Bad Breath | Malboro | Besaid & Thunder Plains | Via Infinito F24-26
5. Storm Cannon | Ironside | Kilika | Via Infinito F30-32
6. Heaven’s Cataract | Gucumatz | Thunder Plains & Zanarkand | Via Infinito F33-35
Complete the ability set for one dress
Continually use a dressphere performing actions with it until you’ve learned every skill that the dressphere has to offer. Dresspheres use AP to level up. AP is earned by attacking an enemy, killing an enemy, healing teammates if they’re damaged, using items that actually have an effect.
You can see the percentages by going into Abilities then selecting a character. The crown denotes 100%.
Note: Gun Mage does not need all the Blue Bullets. Songstress requires the Magical Dances from Chapter 5.
Obtain all available FINAL FANTASY X-2 achievements
*Includes The Last Mission achievements.
Last Mission
Last Mission is accessed through the main menu of the launcher.
A roguelike dungeon crawler using common Final Fantasy X-2 themes.
- The combat is still turn-based. Inventory is heavily limited.
- You cannot stack items, you can only find items stacked.
- The first dressphere you have equipped is your ACTIVE dressphere slot. You can use any skills from your other dresspheres, but your defense and health is based on your active slot.
- You must unequip dresspheres before fusing them.
- When fusing, the levels are added. So fusing a Level 3 Dark Knight and a Level 2 Dark Knight results in a Level 5 Dark Knight.
- Game auto-saves each time you reach the next floor, each time you enter different area: Secret Rooms and Shops are two examples.
- Game will let you save every 5 floors.
- Every 20th floor is a boss.
- Every 5th floor that does not have a boss has a special requirement to unlock the elevator. Each condition will be explained in the walkthrough.
- Your main dressphere will be the Dark Knight. Only level the Dark Knight. To level, you simply have to fuse two dark knight dresspheres together.
- The rest of your dressphere loadout should include the Samurai, Trainer, Mascot, and White Mage.
- The Samurai + Trainer + Dark Knight will give you Deathproof making you immune to Doom.
- White Mage is used to heal.
- The Mascot + White Mage + Trainer will give you regen every 3 turns.
- The Mascot + Samurai will give you protection from dropping Gil.
- If you continually level up the Dark Knight, your health will be ridiculously high.
- If you want to be cheap; however, simply give your gil and combine that with Gil Toss.
- No matter what you do, keep hold onto at least 2 Save Memos. Then you’ll need 3 Find Secret Room items. Do note that the Notebook item can make copies of these items. Save Memo items are uncommon throughout, Find Secret Room start showing up more often after Floor 50. You need them between Floor 61-76, so I’d start worrying about it once you reach Floor 40.
- If your dressphere gets the bomb effect, I’d Alt + F4 and load the autosave.
- Every 10th floor, you’ll get a cutscene and a chest. The chest has 3 random items. You cannot drop items when getting this chest, so make sure you make room for them if you want whatever is inside them.
- If you go with the White Mage, then don’t hold onto the health items. Hold onto mana items for your white mage for cure.
Pretty much when I describe the requirements to unlock an elevator, you’ll have to do something. Most of them are pretty obvious, but some are more obscure.
- Menu – PS: Triangle | Xbox: Y | PC: V
- Attack – PS: Circle | Xbox: B | PC: C
- Cancel – PS: X | Xbox: A | PC: X
- Skip Turn* – PS: X + Select | Xbox: A + Select | PC: Backspace + N
- Fake Attack – Use attack while an enemy is not in your attack range
- Drop Item – Go into your inventory and select an item then drop
- Throw Item – Select an item either in your inventory on the ground, select it (check if on the ground), then throw it
*To skip turn, they must be pressed in THAT order.
Note: For each elevator, you have to perform an action after doing the kills which means essentially doing anything besides movement. So pulling up menu, attacking air, etc.
Floor 5: Defeat 3 Enemies
Reach the 10th floor of Iutycyr Tower
Floor 10: Defeat 10 Enemies
Floor 15: Defeat 5 Enemies and Drop 2 Items
Reach the 20th floor of Iutycyr Tower and defeat the boss
Floor 25: Defeat 8 Enemies and Throw 2 Items
Floor 30: Defeat 8 Enemies and Drink 2 Items
Floor 35: Defeat 8 Enemies, Drop 3 Items, and Fake Attack 3 Times
Reach the 40th floor of Iutycyr Tower and defeat the boss
Floor 45: Defeat 8 Enemies, Read 2 books, and Fake Attack 3 Times
Floor 50: Defeat 10 Enemies, and Skip Turn 5 Times
Floor 55: Defeat 8 Enemies, Read 2 Books, Fake Attack 2 Times, and Skip Turn 5 Times
Reach the 60th floor of Iutycyr Tower and defeat the boss
Obtain treasure in the Tonberry area
Now this is probably the hardest achievement as it’s luck based. However, by saving up 2 Save Memos and 3 Find Secret Rooms, this will be do-able. This achievement can only be attempted after Floor 60.
It’s recommended that you only do this on Floor 61, 66, 71, or 76. If you have 3 Save Memos, then you can do any levels from 61-76. If you do not have these items, then I recommend doing Floors 61-65. If you do not get any good items, load your Floor 60 save and repeat until you do. Then repeat for 66-70 for more items.
Anywho, you need a save to fall back onto, so starting from a Hard Save, not an autosave. Use the ‘Find Secret Room’ item to generate an elevator. If the room has ROCKS, then you’ve succeeded. If not, reload and try again. First room is shown below. Rocks make a circle.
Break the rock in the middle, use the elevator and SAVE. New Slot is probably preferred.
Now you’ll be back at the SAME floor you left. Use your second ‘Find Secret Room’. If you get rocks again, then continue. Otherwise, reset. The second room is shown below. Rocks make an X.
Break the rock in the middle, use the elevator and SAVE.
Now for the third and final room. As usual, do it until you get a room with rocks. The third room is shown below. The rocks will make a Triangle.
Break the rock in the middle, DO NOT USE THE ELEVATOR. Go to the adjacent room. A second room will be opened. Note: There are several items in here. One from each room. 4x Dressmaker, 9x Restart Guide, and 2x Copy Technique.
Now go into the fourth room and you’ll arrive at the wrong neighborhood.
In this room, defeat the 4 Mega Tonberries (1200 health), and 1 Tonberry. Your best move is to simply use Doom on them 1 by 1 and let them die off that way. After the first Mega Tonberry, an elevator will appear. Do not use it. After killing all of the tonberries, go into the dark room they emerged from. There is an item on the ground. Pick it up for the achievement.
Floor 65: Have the Founder appear. Just skip turns/run around until something eerie approaches.
Floor 70: Transform into a Leblanc Goon. This can be achieved through the Founder, or by an item
Floor 75: Defeat 8 Enemies, Drop 3 Items, Throw 3 Items, Fake Attack 5 Times, and Skip Turns 5 Times
Once you reach Floor 79, just run around. There is no elevator in this room. Eventually the Founder will appear, turn you into a Leblanc Goon, and warp you to Floor 77. Run around until he comes back and he’ll move you to Floor 80.
Reach the 80th floor of Iutycyr Tower and defeat the boss
