Stats[]

Battle[]

FFX-HD-Shattering-Claw

Shattering Claw.

The Mortibody starts a round by casting a basic elemental spell on the party. Seymour will follow with a Doublecast of that spell's -ra version. When Seymour's HP drops below 24,000, he will start using Break on one character. Mortibody will attack with Shattering Claw, and if the Petrification status is active and it targets that character, they will likely shatter, reducing the active party down to two members. When Seymour falls below 12,000 HP, Mortibody will start casting Cura on him.

Mortibody will use Desperado on its next turn if all three party members are buffed with Haste, damaging the entire party and removing all positive statuses except Auto-Life. It also has a 25% chance to counter with Desperado if there are four Haste, Shell, Reflect, and NulElement statuses active; a 50% chance with five; a 75% chance with six; and a 100% chance with seven.

FFX Mortibsorption

Mortibsorption.

If Mortibody is KO'd, it will revive itself via Mortibsorption by taking HP from Seymour Natus. The amount absorbed and its max HP decreases with subsequent uses: Mortibsorption starts at taking 4,000, then decreases in increments of 1,000 until it caps at 1,000. Mortibody will use Mortibsorption even if it kills Seymour.

Mortibody has a dummied ability called "Magic Re-Enabled" that heals 1,000 HP and cures Silence.

Strategy[]

FFX-HD-Desperado-2

Desperado.

NulElement is ineffective without Haste, which can let the NulElements take effect after Mortibody attacks. They may also trigger Desperado, forcing the party to reapply status enhancements.

Putting Reflect on Seymour can bounce Curas back to the party.

If using single-target attacks, it's better to focus on Seymour. Summoning an aeon that has a full Overdrive can inflict massive damage, especially thanks to Mortibsorption. However, long-term use of an aeon is not possible in this battle due to Banish. The player can fill up the aeons' Overdrives before the battle and then summon them one by one.
