I think I found a very cheesy win strat

[Grad]

Fight Earth Eater for the 12k gil or whatever
Steal Gamblors Spriit from the Earth Eater
Flee
Repeat
Tough boss thing? Rikku Mix 2xGamblors Spirit for Power of 9999
Wakka Attack Reels 12 Hits
if not dead?
Tidus Slick and Dice

Am I a good idea? This wastes lots of gil but makes easy defeat of tough enemy. Not good for when you are doing over damage limit normally.

[Disarrange]

Well, Wakka's Attack Reels with Trio of 9999 will only deal just under 120k. Tidus' OD, only half of that. There are also many other combinations for Trio of 9999 and the items for those can easily be gotten in large quantity through bribes, drops, distil, etc.

It's always good to have BDL when fighting the Original Creations, especially farming for Fortune/Luck Spheres if you ever want to go down that route so Celestial Weapons are really the way to go, especially since their damage scales off the user's HP or MP and ignores Defence.

If you've got Auto-Phoenix/Auto-Life then your strat is a nice cheese albeit will take a while. Another nice way, especially for farming, is to have Wakka learn the Loner Overdrive Mode (Just have him constantly Guard in a battle outside of the Monster Arena whilst solo to eventually learn it), have everyone apart from him flee from battle once all setup, have him learn and cast Auto-Life everytime he dies and then just spam Attack Reels everytime his Overdrive fills (takes 3 Guards while on Loner). Don't have to worry about charging Overdrives, Auto-Life gets you covered from death and you'll be dealing just sub 120k w/o BDL. Running low on MP? Use a Elixir or Twin Stars if you have them. Just throwing out what I did to get through some of those Original Creations!

He has 1.3mil HP. How is Trio of 9999 going to help at all? Do you even think through ideas before posting nonsense in public?

I have just got airship and that is tough enemy. I haven't grinded or use cheats.

TBH If you have Stone Proof and maybe Death Proof he is quite easy imo. Trio of 9999 is kinda an overkill. It only has 32,757 HP. Also do not buff during the battle because Geosgaeno can "steal" those buffs.

Well if you actually want to farm the Earth Eater fast and you dont have money problems

If you got Yojimbo to full motivation just save start the fight vs Earth Eater pay him 100000 gil per hit (with 10000 life your yojimbo should be able to attack 3 times before he dies ). if no Zanmatou withing 3 attacks reload the save try again. Usually takes me 3 battles tries to get 1 Zanmatou off.

You always get a weapon which sells for 100-200k reducing your money loss. and you can farm fortune spheres.... But usually when your Yojimbo got 10k life or more without infusing, your Magus Sister might be able to kill Earth Eater aswell although that takes quite some time

You can kill earth eater in 4 turns without aeons as long as you have your strength maxed on Tidus and Wakka. Just have those 2 and your 3rd character set with the victor overdrive mode. Kill dingos from the besaid menu to fill your overdrive (victor charges overdrive after 2 wins). Then hit eater with SnD 1st, then attack reels, then have the 3rd character entrust their overdrive to wakka and have him hit attack reels again. Once you kill him the 1st time just alternate between earth eater and dingo to make sure you start each eater fight with full overdrive. The reason you hit with SnD first is because for whatever reason Eater doesn't get knocked over from attack reels, but will fall for SnD, so you avoid the autokill punches.

If you don't want to bother doing Earth eater manually everytime,

Get max MDEF (To deal with Flare counter)
Get good Str (you will likely have it anyway if you're farming earth eater) to deal 99999 with Celestial weapon
Get 20% Magic defense (Cactaur king), Auto-haste (Bribe Machea from Omega), Auto-potion and auto-phoenix (Or at least Auto-phoenix). Don't bother with Auto-shell. This set up is good enough to reduce Flare to about 1.5k a hit (IIRC)

x4 speed + auto battle

It kills -almost- as fast as using OD since you can x4 all animation and you won't die to the Flare and heal if needed. (Auto potion with X pot). All you have to do is mash enter once in awhile as you do stuffs to start a new fight.

That 30 minutes to an hour spent on Earth eater is better off spent on actually working or watching random shows.
