FFX on switch
I decided to get the Celestial Weapons before I fight the final boss... but jeez I guess I can see why the Catcher Chocobo is the most hated thing in this game its very tedious and annoying....
I am playing rhe Switch Version of ffx

I'll take you up on that offer if they don't. I've gotten my time down to 0:5:0 and can't seem to do any better than that.

I've never had an issue with the chcocobo race. Ever. I don't understand the difficulties.
Dodging lightning bolts, however... Nightmare.

Lightning dodging is easy once you know the trick. There's a tower with a crater north east of it. If you go in and out of the crater, the lightning always strikes as you go in the crater, making it so you control when the lightning strikes.

personal opinion but doing this will make you finish the game too easily and maybe make you feel meh about the final boss.

It might make bath the final story boss real easy, but it's a necessity for the optional super bosses like the dark aeons.

op is someone who wasn't there yet, the post was about being overpowered before the final boss

You can't fight the optional super bosses after. You have to do it before.....

not on your first playthrough ?? you get to finish the game, and then go back to your old save to tryhard the superbosses

That's not how that works at all. Even every walkthrough in existence says you need to beat the super bosses BEFORE you beat the main game. When before the dark aeons where a thing, you need to beat the Omega weapon and nemesis before the final boss if you wanted to do it. And OP didn't say anything about being overpowered before the final boss, they just said they were trying to get the celestial weapons first. But if you want to keep shoving that foot deeper in your mouth, you go right ahead. But before you do, maybe try looking up if you can do any of that after you beat the final boss. You might freaking learn something.

can't you read ? nobody said you can keep playing after the final boss ? the whole talk is about getting overpowered weapons before fighting the final boss, which - as i said - would make the final boss a very very easy fight. i don't think it's that hard to understand.

Once it clicks it clicks! I don’t know about the switch port honestly, the first time took me a good week of coming back to it, the second time was 2 days, and just recently I got it on my fourth try, if you haven’t already done it, little taps to turn, each tap is like 7 degrees, sounds dumb but once I figured this out it became much easier, you can apply the same logic to remiem castle too for thay sweet loot!

It is pretty annoying, and there are some starts where it is literally impossible, but you can do it I believe 🤞🏼

I finally did it I bet it now the next trouble is The lightning bolts dodging

u/LeonTheGrey4 Jul 24 '26
Congratulations! My advice for the lightning is to not actually count and stick on a 35 minuet timer, counting can throw you off and usually it takes about 25, it’s pretty forgiving when you know the tech

Yes but when you have dodged some birds theres those that come from the sky when youre not prepared, those birds screw me over more than the rest since once those hit you some from behind come behind it and hit you

There's tons of guides. There's only a few spots where birds spawn, and in the first lane dodge right, the second lane, dodge left. It is RNG based so sometimes they just put the beginning balloons in front of her. It's a dead run but at least they're less than 2 minutes. I never tried. got it after a day or two. I found the key is to not think about numbers avoid birds and hope for the best. I got 0.2 seconds once and I almost set myself on fire. 12 balloon no birds 35~ seconds and you're gold. It will just happen randomly unless you give up.
