Dark Sandy is an optional boss in the International, PAL, and HD Remaster versions of Final Fantasy X. She can be encountered at Mushroom Rock Road after obtaining the Fahrenheit. She can be fought together with her sisters, Dark Cindy and Dark Mindy; together only with Dark Mindy; or alone if the player manages to escape the other two.
Stats[]
Battle[]
Dark Sandy's regular attacks are powerful and inflict Petrification. When she is alone, or only with Dark Mindy, Dark Sandy's Overdrive is Mega-Graviton, which deals 43.75% of all characters maximum HP and is considered magical damage. It causes several status ailments: Doom, Slow, Sleep (for 99 turns), Darkness (for 99 turns) and Silence (for 99 turns).
When she is with Mindy and Cindy, the trio will use the deadly Delta Attack executed only by Dark Cindy, which always deals 99,999 damage per hit (6 total) and removes Auto-Life.
Dark Sandy's special move is Razzia that deals 169,710 to 191,631 physical damage, meaning it can be reduced with physical buffs and Def+% auto-abilities. It also removes Auto-Life. Dark Sandy's Overdrive gauge increases by 5% when targeted and 20% when attacking.
Strategy[]
It's best for the entire party to have Accuracy, Agility, Strength, and Defense at 255, and Luck at 120+, with HP of at least 30,000. As long as Sandy is fought alone, she is easy to defeat. If the party has the Auto-Phoenix armor ability, they will not have much trouble.
When fighting the three sisters together, to avoid an instant Game Over at the start of battle, the Magus Sisters aeon must be summoned, just in case other attacks before Delta Attack kill the aeon before their purpose is served. Doublecasting Ultima deals a lot of damage to all sisters at once, and it can be mimicked with Copycat.
As with any other enemy, Dark Sandy can be killed instantly by Yojimbo's Zanmato attack, along with the other Dark Magus Sisters if the player fights more than one of them.
