Black Elemental (Final Fantasy X-2)

The Black Elemental is an boss in the 40th cloister of the Via Infinito under Bevelle. It was once Jyscal Guado, and is the strongest fiend in the Elemental family of Final Fantasy X-2.

Battle Strategy
It's defense is 255, making physical attacks useless. Its Magic defense is 254, making magic attacks on it also useless. It uses Flare and Ultima which both deal 9,999 damage to one or all party members, being that it has 250 Magic power. Flare can be reflected bact to the boss, dealing over 1,000 or 2,000 damage to the boss. Ultima cannot be reflected, as it hits the entire party, so just hope you can survive. It also uses Berserk, but that can also be reflected. If you have the Dark Knight dressphere, and have learned Charon (aka Self Destruct), and are highly leveled, use it one or twice on the boss. Another useful move is the Dark Knight's Darkness ability. It ignores Defense and Magic Defense, so it should do a large amount of damage.

I found an incredible strategy, but make sure paine has key to success,champion belt and a strength of 171 (with champion belt included) and also have her on dark knight and just use charon and it will hit for 9999 damage and also be level 56. ~Broly aka Dj

An easier strategy would be to use a Songstress using Magical Masque. This way, all magic attacks would be nullified, allowing you to attack safely and effectively.

The easiest method is to start with three Gunners and then use the Cheap Chot ability which does a critical attack regardless of defense. In three turns, if your characters are at high enough levels, you can leave this battle unscathed. This can be the easiest and quickest battle in Via Infinito if this tactic works for you.

After you defeat the Black Elemental, a chest is left behind. It contains 6 accessories, one of them being the rare Cat Nip.
