Bribe

Bribe is a special skill appearing in Final Fantasy X and X-2.

It is a skill most commonly attributed to Rikku, as she is the character that starts out closest to the skill on the Sphere Grid and often acquires it first, but as with any ability any character can activate it. Providing the party has enough resources, Bribing is the easiest way to receive multiple amounts of rare items all at once.

The skill returns in Final Fantasy X-2 as a command ability for the Lady Luck Dressphere.

Bribe shows up as an option in the 'Special' menu in battle after a character has activated the appropriate node on the Sphere Grid. You then have to choose how much Gil to hand over to this enemy. Used in combat, Bribe allows the character a chance to convince the targeted enemy to leave the battle without a further fight, and possibly leave behind some of its rarer treasures in exchange. Giving an enemy twenty times its maximum hit points is generally the threshold for bribing it to leave.

Bribing it to drop a rare item as it does so often costs more, and the individual enemy pages list what items can be bribed off of that particular enemy, or view the summary below. Enemies that are currently sleeping cannot be bribed (and the gil used is wasted!). If the enemy does not accept the bribe, it was likely not wasted, and you should try Bribing again on your next turn for 1 gil. Repeat offering 1 gil and shortly it should accept and leave combat.
