Dark Bahamut (Final Fantasy X)

Dark Bahamut is an optional boss in the International and PAL versions of Final Fantasy X. It can be encountered by returning to Zanarkand Ruins, in the same spot where the party fought Yunalesca.

Strategy
This is one of the most difficult Dark Aeons to defeat. Every character should have Ribbon, as well as Auto-Haste and Auto-Phoenix. Auto-Protect is also recommended. After every five player's attacks (counterattacks do not count), Dark Bahamut counters with Impulse, which can petrify the characters who aren't protected against it and will shatter the character if they are KO'd as well and they will be out of action for the rest of the battle. It also inflicts Slow, Full Break and Delay. Note that -proof armors have no effect in this battle so Ribbon is the best option, though slow can be prevented with Auto-Haste. The counterattack can be avoided entirely by having a character cast Sentinel.

Its Overdrive, the famous Mega Flare, is deadly, unless the party has over 40,000 HP. It can be survived by summoning an Aeon or by casting Auto-Life on everyone. All characters should have Strength, Defense, Magic Defense, Accuracy, and Agility at 255. Luck should be at 80 or higher.

As with any other enemy, it can be killed instantly by Yojimbo's Zanmato attack.
