Monster Arena Information

The Monster Arena Keeper will ask you to capture certain types of creatures for him so that he can make new and unique monster creations. Below are lists of the creations that capturing enough monsters will unlock, including the creation's name, what monsters are required, what items can be stolen from them, and drop rewards, as well as what award you get for unlocking the creation and the quantity of the award item. There is also some information on what attacks and defenses the Monster has.

The key to these battles is preparation, perseverance, and consistency. For those who rely on luck to win, such as strategy will not avail you here. Of course, the best thing that one can do is to properly prepare you for the battles up ahead. The HP amounts are not exact, but should give a general idea of when the battle is about to end. The drops may also vary slightly from time to time.

The most important abilities to learn, are including, but not limited to: Auto-Life (or Auto-Pheonix), Hastega (or Auto-Haste), Auto-Remedy (or Ribbon), and Break Damage Limit. Of lesser priority are Break HP Limit, Auto-Shell/Protect, and anything-Proof armors. Also, for certain battles, it will be less of a headache if you have properly trained Aeons, so teach them what they might need to know. (Can be checked in the Aeon Abilities section)

Area Creations

The "Rare Drop" is not given, because the rare drop for all Arena monsters is Dark Matter. You receive one for a normal kill, and two for overkill, regardless of the amount that the normal drop gives you. To receive overkill against Arena Monsters, you must deal 99999 damage with the killing attack. Any less damage and it will not overkill.

	Area:	Mi'ihen	Mi'ihen Fang Ipiria Floating Eye White Element Raldo Vouivre Bomb Dual Horn
	Another fiend that begins with an Ambush, Kottos uses it to raise his hands up, indicating his Berserker stance, which means he will physically attack you whenever he is hit by a spell or attack.

	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Chocobo Wing x2	Designer Wallet	Blessed Gem x3 (x6)
	Unlock Bonus:	Chocobo Wing x99
	Area:	Thunder Plains	Melusine Aerogue Buer Gold Element Kusariqqu Larva Iron Giant Qactaur
	The king is an able enemy, who does not hesitate to use his Needles against you. Fortunately, it only chooses 2 amounts in which to dispense at once. 10,000 are used whenever it counterattacks one of your attacks, and 99,999 are used whenever it has a turn. Attacks do full damage, but you will need a great Accuracy or Luck rating to hit it. Magic damage is negligible.

	250,000	6000 Gil	8000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Farplane Shadow x4	Farplane Wind	Rename Card x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Shining Gem x60
	Area:	Macalania Woods	Snow Wolf Iguion Wasp Evil Eye Blue Element Murussu Mafdet Xiphos Chimera
	The Espada is a violent contender, who uses Hades Claw both as an attack, and counterattack. It can cause multiple ailments, as well as a high amount of damage. Attacks and Magic may, on occasion, randomly do slightly less damage than desired.
Abyss Worm	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	475,000	6000 Gil	8000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Shadow Gem x4	Stamina Tablet	Stamina Tonic x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Shadow Gem x99
	Area:	Djose Road	Sand Wolf Alcyone Mushussu Zu Sand Worm Cactaur

Chimerageist	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	125,000	6000 Gil	8000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Mana Spring x2	Stamina Spring x2	Return Sphere x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Farplane Wind x60
	Area:	Calm Lands	Skoll Nebiros Flame Flan Shred Anacondaur Ogre Coeurl Chimera Brain Marlboro
	Very easy to kill, but has damaging attacks. Enjoys using Aqua Breath and Megiddo Flame. It can Doublecast certain spells, but usually uses Thundara. Attacks and Magic do full damage. If you missed Kimahri's Aqua Breath Ronso Rage, learn it here.
Don Tonberry	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	450,000	8000 Gil	8000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Candle of Life x2	Designer Wallet	Farplane Wind x3 (x6)
	Unlock Bonus:	Silver Hourglass x40
	Area:	Cavern of the Stolen Fayth	Yowie Imp Dark Element Nidhogg Thron Valaha Epaaj Ghost Tonberry
	Like all Tonberries, Don Tonberry can use Karma, a damaging attack based on how many fiends were killed by the current character. Using any attack against Don Tonberry will cause it to counter you with Karma. When it has a turn, it will take a step, and takes three steps before it stops, and begins cutting you with a knife, indicating his Physical attack. However, unlike previously fought Tonberries, it stays in the third step, being able to attack you every turn it gets after the third. Fortunately, it stops using Karma. Attacks and Magic do full damage.
Catoblepas	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	575,000	N/A	N/A
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Healing Spring x3	Stamina Tonic	Three Stars x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Blossom Crown (Key item)
	Area:	Mt. Gagazet	Bandersnatch Ahriman Dark Flan Grenade Grat Grendel Bashura Mandragora Behemoth Splasher Archelous Maelspike
	A formidable enemy. It uses magic frequently, but does not Doublecast. It also is balanced with a powerful physical attack, Pop Fly, similar to the Heave used by normal Behemoths, except it does more damage. Attacks and Magic do half damage, most of the time, otherwise, it will do full. When slain, it uses Ultima, in an attempt to knock out your party.
Abaddon	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	425,000	N/A	N/A
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Purifying Salt x3	Shining Gem	Mana Tablet x2 (x4)
	Unlock Bonus:	Designer Wallet x60
	Area:	Omega Ruins	Zaurus Floating Death Black element Halma Puroboros Spirit Machea Master Coeurl Master Tonberry Varuna
	Abaddon, of which the item Abaddon Flame is named, is automatically immune to the main 4 elements, and has Auto-Reflect, making everything except non-elemental magic useless. Its primary form of attack is Pharaoh's Curse, which can cause Darkness, Poison, Curse, and Silence, and can use magic freely. Attacks do full damage, and only Ultima is an option for magic, unless Reflect is set up, which allow for the casting of Flare, Drain, Osmose, and Holy.
Vorban	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	625,000	N/A	N/A
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Healing Spring x2	Stamina Tablet	Friend Sphere x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Lunar Curtain x99
	Area:	Inside Sin	Exoray Wraith Gemini A Gemini B Demonolith Great Marlboro Barbatos Adamantoise Behemoth King
	The Vorban is similar to the Barbatos inside Sin. It will counter any attack with an area attack named Mortar. On its turns, it can also use a normal attack, or Body Splash, which does area damage. When it opens its cage, it is more vulnerable to damage, and prepares to use a devastating attack. Attacks do half damage, and Magic does full damage, but when the chest is open, all attacks do full damage.

Species Creations

Fenrir	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	850,000	8000 Gil	10000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Chocobo Feather x2	Chocobo Wing x2	Agility Sphere x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Chocobo Feather x99
	Species:	Wolves	Bandersnatch Dingo Garm Mi'ihen Fang Sand Wolf Skoll Snow Wolf
	Fenrir bases most of its attacks with names that begin with Fang. Fangs of Hell can cause instant death, but have the lowest Accuracy, and also counters certain attacks. Fangs of Chaos do the least damage, but they have a very high Accuracy, and cause Confusion. When it uses Fangs of Ruin, it does not cause status ailments, and is essentially the same as a normal attack. Attacks do full damage, and Magic damage is negligible.
Ornitholestes	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	850,000	8000 Gil	10000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Rename Card	Chocobo Wing	Gambler's Spirit x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Stamina Spring x99
	Species:	Reptiles	Cave Iguion Dinonix Iguion Ipiria Melusine Raptor Yowie Zaurus
	Ornitholestes enjoys using Poison Touch, causing Poison and dealing damage, and Drain Touch, which can Drain your HP and heal his. Otherwise, Ornitolestes is easy to bring down, despite his high Agility and Evasion rate. Attacks do full damage, and Magic damage is negligible.
Pteryx	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	100,000	8000 Gil	10000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Smoke Bomb x4	Candle of Life	Evasion Sphere x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Mega Pheonix x99
	Species:	Birds	Alcyone Condor Simurgh
	A very fast opponent, yet its Evasion is surprisingly low. It uses Beak of Woe, which causes Curse, and Beak, which is the equivalent of a normal attack. It comes with Auto-Regen, which will heal some of the progress that you can make. Attacks and Magic do half damage.
Hornet	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	625,000	8000 Gil	10000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Poison Fang x4	Purifying Salt x2	Accuracy Sphere x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Mana Tonic x60
	Species:	Bees	Bite Bug Killer Bee Nebiros Wasp
	Another fast opponent, you need exceptional Accuracy to hit this bug. It uses Bewitching Stab, which can cause Confusion, and Venomous Stab, which causes Silence, Death, and Darkness. Fortunately, its attacks are not very strong otherwise. A proper defense will deter this bug from biting you and sucking your blood. Attacks do full damage, and Magic damage is negligible.
Vidatu	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	75,000	8000 Gil	10000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Lightning Gem x4	Mana Tonic	MP Sphere x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Mana Spring x99
	Species:	Birds	Aerogue Gandarva Imp
	One of the easiest enemies to defeat, yet it has good Evasion. Spellcasting is brought to a needless necessity, as it comes equipped with Auto-Nul-All, and Auto-Regen, so every turn counts. It enjoys Doublecasting Magic, especially Ultima, Drain, and Osmose. Attacks do full damage, and Magic damage is negligible.
One-Eye	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	100,000	8000 Gil	10000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Lunar Curtain x3	Blessed Gem	Magic Defense Sphere x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Stamina Tablet x60
	Species:	Flying Eye	Ahriman Bat Eye Buer Evil Eye Floating Death Floating Eye
	Evasive and strong against Magic, sporting an Auto-Regen when it attacks. It enjoys using Shockwave, an area attack that also causes Confusion, and Black Stare, the equivalent of a normal, physical attack. Otherwise, bringing down this Eyeball should not give one a hard time. Attacks do full damage, and Magic damage is negligible.
Jumbo Flan	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	1,375,000	8000 Gil	10000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Lunar Curtain x4	Magic Tablet	Magic Sphere x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Twin stars x60
	Species:	Flans	Dark Flan Flame Flan Ice Flan Snow Flan Thunder Flan Water Flan
	A unique opponent. Like all Flans, it enjoys the use of Magic, and brings it to a whole new level. The entire battle is dominated by the exchange of Magic casting, as it is completely Immune to Physical attacks. Most Magics are also disabled, because it absorbs all Elements, including Holy, and even has its own Auto-Reflect aura. Since normal attacks are disabled, achieving an Overkill is difficult, to say the least, which will slow your Magic growth. The key is either setting up Reflect, and using Flare, or Doublecasting Ultima, which ignores Reflect. The most fear inducing of all the properties has yet been unsaid: you will be watching the animation for Ultima over and over and over, and it can get boring fast. If you wish, you can instead use Flare, with Magic Booster and One MP Cost, aided by a large Magic stat that will cause 99999 damage. A slow moving, and long battle, it is Immune to attacks, and only Magic deals full damage. If you missed Kimahri's White Wind Ronso Rage, learn it here.
Nega Elemental	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	1,375,000	8000 Gil	10000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Star Curtain x4	Twin Stars	Twin Stars x2 (x4)
	Unlock Bonus:	Star Curtain x99
	Species:	Birds	Black Element Blue Element Dark Element Gold Element Red Element White Element Yellow Element
	Another Magic opponent, but fortunately, it is rather unlike the Jumbo Flan, and it is not Immune to normal attacks. However, whenever hit by a normal attack, it counters with Ultima. Oddly enough, for a Magic caster, it does not employ Doublecast, and uses its first turn to cast Reflect. Most Magic is rendered useless, because it too, can absorb all elements, like the Jumbo Flan. Attacks and Magic do full damage.
Tanket	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	850,000	8000 Gil	10000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Light Curtain x4	Lunar Curtain x4	Defense Sphere x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Gold Hourglass x99
	Species:	Helms	Bunyip Halma Mafdet Murussu Raldo Shred Swamp Mafdet
	Yes, they are called Helms. It primarily attacks with Physical attacks, and has strong Defense. Fortunately, it is susceptible to Armor Break. It has two primary forms of attack, Attack (ironically enough), causes the target to go Berserk, and Rush Attack, which at first, hits two characters. For each successive turn that passes that it is not killed, it begins to attack more characters with the attack, going from two, to three, then even attacking four times in one turn. Attacks do half damage, and Magic damage is negligible.
Fafnir	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	1,150,000	8000 Gil	10000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Stamina Spring x2	Gold Hourglass	Light Curtain x40
	Unlock Bonus:	Purifying Salt x99
	Species:	Drakes	Kusariqqu Lamashtu Mushussu Nidhogg Vouivre
	Fafnir is definitely an interesting enemy. It has many of the properties of a Helm, yet can attack with Elemental/Magical damage. It is also can be hit by Armor Break. It has two attacks, a normal attack, and Triple Attack, which does this in the following order: attacks normally, unleashes an area attack that does Elemental damage to all enemies, then attacks again. The second attack's element is dictated randomly, out of the choices of Fire, Thunder, and Blizzard damage. Otherwise, it should be easy to bring down, and even easier if you equip yourself with Element Absorbing armors. Attacks do half damage, and Magic does full damage. If you missed Kimahri's Fire Breath Ronso Rage, learn it here.
Sleep Sprout	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	100,000	8000 Gil	10000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Poison Fang x4	Farplane Wind	Teleport Sphere x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Healing Spring x99
	Species:	Fungi	Exoray Funguar Thorn
	This devious abomination will counter all your attacks with Goodnight, which causes Poison, Berserk, and Sleep. If you wake up before you die of Poison, then your character will automatically attack again, inducing another lethal dose of drugs to the unfortunate targets. It also comes with an Auto-Regen, which is used at the start of the battle, healing it, while you are dying in your sleep. If it wants to be creative, it will even cast Ultima, when it has a turn, assuming you are still affected by Goodnight. An Aeon is a must in this battle, unless you can equip Ribbon.
Bomb King	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	475,000	8000 Gil	10000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Shining Gem	Farplane Wind	Door to Tomorrow x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Turbo Ether x60
	Species:	Bombs	Bomb Grenade Puroboros
	Unlike the King's subordinates, it does not come equipped with packages of C-4, or self-explosion devices. And further unlike them, its normal attack is not fire based. However, it does use Fire, Fira, and Firaga, and grows based on whether or not it has been hit between its turns. If not, it will use a fire spell or attacks if it is still small. If it is at its largest, it will begin using Ultima. Attacks and Magic do full damage, except fire based spells, which do full damage, but heal the Bomb King. The Bomb King is not a Terrorist, nor is it Osama Bin Laden. If you missed Kimahri's Self-Destruct Ronso Rage, learn it here.
Juggernaut	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	1,225,000	8000 Gil	10000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Lunar Curtain x4	Shining Gem	Strength Sphere x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Light Curtain x99
	Species:	Horn Beast	Dual Horn Grendel Valaha
	The Juggernaut has very many defenses and is an able contender in the Arena. It is also very strong, as its Crush Spike attack will instantly kill a character. When not killing you, it uses Charge, giving you some respite from its relentless attacks. On the next turn, it uses Salvo, a strong area attack. Besides these moves, its offensive arsenal isn't very varied. Attacks and Magic do half damage. If you missed Kimahri's Fire Breath Ronso Rage, learn it here.
Ironclad	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	2,000,000	8000 Gil	10000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Light Curtain x4	Stamina Tablet	HP Sphere x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Mana Tablet x60
	Species:	Armor Giant	Iron Giant Gemini A Gemini B
	The most difficult of all of the Species adversaries, and in certain cases, more difficult than some of the Original Creations. A balanced adversary, in all areas. Its primary form of attack is Reppageki, which is essentially a normal attack. It also uses this to counter any of your attacks, but its Accuracy is low. Buhzisnan is another one of his attacks, but this one causes less damage, in exchange for siphoning all of your MP from you, and dealing damage over an area. Osmose is useless, as it has no MP to take, but instead, use Ethers to recharge MP. The other attack that it has is Shinryudan, which always does damage, and does more damage than Reppageki, but it is rarely used. It is susceptible to both Armor and Mental Break, but it can still randomly reduce damage done, and one never really knows if Armor Break has taken effect. Attacks and Magic do half damage.

Original Creations

Earth Eater	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	1,350,000	15000 Gil	50000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Gambler's Spirit	Level 1 Key Sphere	Fortune Sphere x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Three Stars x60
	The first of the Original Bosses, and one of the most difficult. Similar to the Chocobo Eater in most respects, except this time, you are not going to hit him off a cliff. In the first phase, the Eater is standing, and if you attack it, it will counter with Megaton Punch, which will either instantly kill you, or cause massive damage. Causing 100,000 damage will knock it down on its back, where weapons and magic will do more damage, but not by much. When down, it has Auto-Reflect, and it will counter every attack by casting Flare on itself, bouncing off of the Reflect, and hitting you. It cannot be dispelled. A good deterrent is to cast Shell, to reduce the Flare damage, assuming you can survive it. Attacks do half damage while up, and full while down. Magic damage is always negligible.
Greater Sphere	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	1,450,000	15000 Gil	50000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Gambler's Spirit	Return Sphere	Luck Sphere x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Supreme Gem x60
	The second of the Original Monsters. Greater Sphere is nearly the same as the Spherimorph, except that it does not change elements. Rather, it absorbs them all, including Holy, and counters every attack made on it with Ultima. When given a turn, will either use Hydraulic Press, which does physical damage to all characters equal to your maximum HP, or it uses Press, which will injure a character physically, as though it were a normal attack. Attacks and Magic do full damage.
Catastrophe	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	2,250,000	15000 Gil	50000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Gambler's Spirit	Level 2 Key Sphere	Designer Wallet x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Door to Tomorrow x99
	The third of the Original Monsters, and quite difficult if you head on face to face, but it is food against an Aeon. At first, it begins as though it were another Sinspawn Genais or Geneaux, having two distinct forms, one inside the shell, and one outside. This one uses very painful attacks while inside the shell, and does not have any special armor statuses to break. In the shell, if it gets a turn, it uses Toxic Cloud, which causes Confusion, Curse, and Poison, and is not a physical attack, so it will not be curing Confusion anytime soon. But against an Aeon, it does not take action. After dealing 450,000 damage, it changes to its true form, and now has an attack pattern. The pattern goes Toxic Spray, which does damage and a low chance of causing Poison, then Demi, and then Hundred thorns, which causes randomly heavy area damage to all enemies. Against an Aeon, all of these attacks will have less effect, especially Hundred Thorns. Attacks and Magic do full damage.
Th'uban	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	3,000,000	15000 Gil	50000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Gambler's Spirit	Teleport Sphere	Underdog's Secret x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Gambler's Spirit x99
	The fourth of the Original battles. Like Catastrophe in its true form, Th'uban has an attack pattern, when it receives a turn. First, it uses a normal attack, then Rainbow, which does heavy damage over an area, and causes Curse, Confusion, Sleep, and nulls the effects of Haste and Slow, and finally, it will use Convergence, which deals 99999 damage to one enemy. Th'uban is also very defensive, attacking with Condemn, a physical area attack when attacked, and even casting support Magic on itself, mostly Shell and Protect. Attacks and Magic do full damage.
Neslug	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	3,750,000	15000 Gil	50000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Gambler's Spirit	Friend Sphere	Pendulum x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Winning Formula x99
	The fifth of the Original Creations, a three form beast. Neslug's first and third forms are very similar, except two major differences: the third form's attacks have a much higher rate of doing 99999 damage. In these two forms, Neslug will use a normal attack, which does random damage, Megaton, which causes Poison, Curse, Armor and Mental Break, and causes heavy damage. It also uses Slime, which dispels Haste, and does damage to all enemies. The second form is the most painful of the three, where it recedes into its shell, and begins a long process of healing itself. During the time, it is Immune to Physical attacks, like Jumbo Flan, and it has Auto-Regen, which heals for large amounts at a time, and whenever it receives a turn, it uses Curaga. The three forms require that it take at least 2,000,000 damage, then 1,400,000 damage (700,000, but Regen will heal that much during your attempts to attack it), then a final 800,000 damage. Attacks do full damage, except second form, when it is Immune, but Magic always does full damage.
Ultima Buster, Head, Arm A, Arm B	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	5,000,000 (75,000 Head/Arms)	15000 Gil	50000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Gambler's Spirit	Level 3 Key Sphere	Winning Formula x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Dark Matter x99
	The sixth of the Original Creations, an enemy similar to Sinspawn Gui, with four separate parts, including Arms that regenerate every three turns. When the head is active, Ultima Buster's attacks do slightly more damage, and when given a turn (listed as monster A, not Boss), it will move suspiciously, and then on the next turn, unleash Contamination, which causes Zombie, Poison, Confusion, and Full Break on one enemy. To stop this attack, simply kill it, and it will not bother you for the rest of the match. When the arms are active, they will shield the main body from physical attacks, and have an Armored Status. When the arms and head are disposed of, unleash a furious assault on the main body. When given a turn, Ultima Buster will use Ultima, or a normal attack with its feet. This battle is simple and straightforward, despite the multiple enemies. Attacks do full damage if no Arms are present, and Magic always does full damage. Only Wakka can hit the Head with a normal attack. The Head/Arms do not give AP, even with many Overkills.
Shinryu	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	2,000,000	15000 Gil	50000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Gambler's Spirit	Three Stars	Wings to Discovery x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Megalixir x30
	The seventh of the Original Creations monsters. This battle is fought underwater, and as such, only Rikku, Wakka, and Tidus may participate. Shinryu has a surprisingly low amount of HP, so turn this battle into a race to the finish, if you can. None of Shinryu's attacks will hurt too much, as it only uses three attacks. A normal attack, which it uses to counter all attacks made on it, Shining, which does random amounts of damage to all three characters randomly, and Eraser, which turns a character to Stone. Eraser essentially removes a participant from battle. But otherwise, it shouldn't be too painful. Attacks and Magic do full damage.
Nemesis	HP	Cost	AP Bonus
	10,425,000	25000 Gil	75000 AP
	Steal	Rare	Drop
	Level 4 Key Sphere	Warp Sphere	Warp Sphere x1 (x2)
	Unlock Bonus:	Master Sphere x10
	The last of the Original battles, and unlocked after the other seven are disposed of. This could be a very long battle, but well deserved, if you fight manually. There are only four attacks that Nemesis uses, but that should not stop you from taking every precaution, such as Haste and Auto-Life. It uses a normal attack and Ultra Spark, an attack that does approximately 30,000 damage to all enemies and causes Curse, Poison, Nulls Haste, and Power Break. It also employs the use of Ethereal Cannon, which causes heavy damage to one character, and Armageddon, an attack that causes 99999 damage to all three of your characters. Protect your characters as necessary, and don't let Nemesis get many turns, by using Quick Hit when possible. Attacks and Magic do half damage. Two words: "use Zanmato". If you missed Kimahri's Supernova Ronso Rage, learn it here.
