So, Evrae is a thing.

Anyone else playing through this for the first time and hit the massive wall that is this boss?

My best try so far ended with the boss chain hitting 3 attacks... hitting poison breath just before the ship pulled away, the boss instantly followed us and hit a swipe then petrified the last member of my team alive

You think he's bad, just wait till you get to Seymour Flux.

[Cccactus]

You need to Haste yourself when he does to keep up ;)

[GeminiEclipse]

They aren't that bad.

Rikku using al bhed potion is a good counter to the poison breath and petrify. Unless of course she's the one who gets petrified.

I remmeber grinding a lot in the ship back then when I played this game first time. The fight was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hard. Getting overdrives to all aeons is way to cheese tough bosses a bit.

Slow spell works for him too, and you can haste yourself to make the difference in speed even more insane. If I remmeber correctly, the boss can use haste too so make sure to slow him down when he does that. Stay away from him and pound him with ranged attacks. Good luck.

Yeah first time I played this game I was stuck on him for a while. There are so many epic boss fights in this game though. It's part of what makes it amazing.

How's your gear? Do you have anything that can protect against petrification or posion? And do you set up the haste right away? I've always been a big fan of Lulu and Rikku with haste for this fight cause Lulu can do damage near or far and Rikku can heal with Al Bhed potions.

Inform us when you get to Seymour Flux :)

Evrae is very easy. Get Tidus to haste your party members, and cast Slow on Evrae. You'll be controlling the entire fight.

When he breathes in for his spray, tell Cid to pull back and you shouldn't be hit. Pull in when you get a chance next. Use Lulu/Wakka for ranged attacks, use others for up close beat down. When he gets low, he will cast Haste on himself. Just continue smacking him, and when he breathes on you, have Rikku use Al Bhed Potions to cure and get rid of the ailments.

Gear against petrification/poison is not necessary at all.

Don't worry man, I had trouble with him in my 1st playthrough back in 2004 I believe. But yea wait till you reach Seymour Flux then come back~

[Fenzha]

I geared everyone i could against poison to the best of my abilities but i hadnt gotten slow yet. So once the boss hasted i started to fall behind. spent some more time grinding exp and have slow now.

I know this is extremely tedious, but everytime you get into combat, get everyone in the party to do something in the battle so they all gain experience. Even something as little as Auron using guard. Keeps everyone strong! 8)

Not saying this is necessary, but if I don't get everyone in, I sort of feel guilty. >.>

I only used yuna Auron and tidus back on ps2 and I am starting to feel that is worth it to train every one at the same time on my pc play through...

My lulu was actually my strongest until sin boss fight because yuna just takes over lulu right after she learn flare so it's worth it to level lulu so yuna can just teleport over

If you want to cheese this fight, you can cast Slow, then Reflect on him and spam Delay Attack. It's unlikely you'll even get hit after the first round.

If I am not mistake I did tried delay attack on him but it was immune to it at lease on my end here
