Actually, the only cutscenes you need to see is right after you see jecht say he he’ll be the final aeon. You can save after that cutscene and you only have to watch one cutscene
An extra tip is to spend as much time as you need in the first form to put reflect to all the members of your party, cheer and luck, then Heal all party members to full life points before you destroy her first form.
Coming up to this fight and getting flashbacks to when I was 15/16 and I spent an entire evening trying to kill her, gave up and then came back a month later and did it first try. Revising strategies because I do not want to have to sit through that cutscene over and over again
Such a great and easy way to defeat her, thanks a lot. Spent nearly 40 minutes yesterday trying to beat her and forgot that I couldnt heal my zombified characters due to stress, used mega-phoenix and then came the GAME OVER Screen. Thank you so much for this video
This is not a cheese. Work. Even with this guide it is still work. Thanks! My dumbass didnt even realize that zombie wasn't blind. I spent a stupid significant amount of time remedying it when I could have just been dealing damage. *facepalm*
Second playthrough in 20 years. I went in and threw everything I had at her until I was out of holy, phoenix downs and Yuna was out of mp. I have Auron left in zombie with regen and cast on him with like 300 hp and hit her like 3 times. I killed her at the freakin buzzer! thank God she died. I really didn’t want to sit through those cut scenes again 😂
Fighting the spectral keeper and dying over and over made me quit playing for over 2 years and randomly decided to pick it up and beat that first try and was like i need to watch a guide on yunalesca cause i am not waiting another 2 years of frustration to do this again lmao.
I got this game when it first came out on PS2. I don't even know where I got to maybe second Seymour fight, have it on steamdeck and just beat this bitch Yunalesca. Wish me luck!
@@JONES99679 im at my first try no grinding no escaping and im so underleveled when i search for boss guides they have so much more spells and stuff since evrae i feel such underlevlde
I beat her on my first try. Helpful tip is just before you beat her second form, keep one person in zombie status. That person will survive the death. Use mega phoenix rinse and repeat.
I did that for everyone except kimari . I ended up getting rikku Yuna and lulu all holy , Ultima and flare . Auron and tidua were hitting 9999 every time
I just got my highest defence and magic defence with most health to keep on zombie so when she casts mega death 1 is immune and then I can cast mega phoneix
Thanks for the video I watched it after beating it, but i don't think it wouldv helped me🥴, this boss is just a pain and the last cutscenes before it was still a bit too long which ruins your motivation. Beat it at 3rd try, over 3 hours (though it felt shorter) and I am proud it was my least favorite boss.
Save up all your overdrives from your aeons and do the same with your characters not sure what he’s saying on the video havnt watched it but survive the first 2 phases then pop everything you’ll deffo beat it dispel regen and don’t remove zombie if people die you Phoenix down them and mega pot them and hope the zombie attack comes before mega death if it doesn’t then just do the same thing you can even use holy water and heal up your players after mega death I knew when I first fought her I knew I’d win just didn’t have the aeons charged killed her on second fight I remember watching my cousin play it a long time ago he couldn’t get past the final fight with Seymour I always wanted to see if I could beat it always loved the game
@@coooolibri Zombieproof. I noticed that you can collect what you need from monsters right before the boss area. Right now I’m grinding and stealing candle of life and purifying salts (no encounters). The zombie status is a pain. If I can proof everyone, knocking out her HP will be nothing.
It bugs when when players do things like cast Hastega and then _immediately_ switch out a team member. Like, you're wasting turns and MP just to reset Haste on the next character. I know a lot of people struggled with Yunalesca (my younger brother certainly did) and while she is one of the tougher bosses I had more trouble with Evrae than her, to be honest.
I’m here right now. I’m just gonna try on my own and come back if stuck. My only issue is zombie which I’m working on collecting a crap ton of candles right now.
@@Luke.Skywodka Yup, just beat her yesterday, 3rd try. I forgot how this fight went so it some trial and error. I didn’t watch this video yet, but for me, I equipped zombieproof and had Rikku used holy. I summoned an aeon when she had less than 10,000 HP in her 2nd stage so that when her 3rd stage does Mega Death, I’m not effected. Then kept hitting her with holy, 3rd level magic and physical attacks. I occasionally summon an Aeon and use their overdrive before they got killed. I’ve seen other interesting strategies but this works for me.
you rly dont have too use 3 char you cast boom on on phase 1 when phase 2 pop use 3 other char (faster then removing the boom and prevent renov cast on you to be bounce on her) always keep 1 under zombie in phase2 phase 3 end her until 20-30k then bahamut overdrive to her face to end it safe
will the Final Aeon Temple light up if i have gotten all Chest all every Temple ? Just wondering I’m on this part where i have to fight yunalesca also i don’t own a airship
the wards only work "sometimes" but I think even with zombieproof, she'd still manage to land one since she spams hellbiter. I agree with the mega death. It's such a shit ability.
Yes, you can. Always try to leave whenever you’re stuck. You can take that teleportation pad all the way back to the Calm Lands if you want. I knew what to expect and knew I couldn’t beat her 3rd form so I back tracked after trying to fight her once, as a reminder, to grind a bit and collect some items.
Everyone talking about how they struggle to fight yunalesca, while im here just smacking her with normal attack with max damage 9999, if you are lazy at grinding you have to much difficulty defeating any bosses
Grind is boring and normal people dont play story driven games like an mmo. Ffx is literally designed to just walk in a STRAIGHT line and go forward thats why the game kinda sucks. The second half of the game is just stupidly hard for No reason and the only answer is „grind”
Sure but that's more trouble than necessary, you're supposed to figure out the trick to beating the boss not just bruteforce them, in this case there's tons of ways to beat Yunalesca easily, you can use Trio of 9999, you can use Zanmato, you can use the Zombie strat, you can rush Holy and use that, many ways to beat her without bruteforcing levels and standard attack values

the worst part of this fight isn’t the boss, it’s the 10 minutes of cutscenes before it
Yeah, no eliminating the cutscene sucks
Actually, the only cutscenes you need to see is right after you see jecht say he he’ll be the final aeon. You can save after that cutscene and you only have to watch one cutscene
Yes. The cutscenes before it are the worst.
@@oekb4480 wish I knew that before the 5 times attempting this maybe an hour of blooody watching that cut scene!
True
An extra tip is to spend as much time as you need in the first form to put reflect to all the members of your party, cheer and luck, then Heal all party members to full life points before you destroy her first form.
But what about the mega death on phase 3 if your not zombiefied, is it on all the team or just one?
@@mutalix it’s her 2nd form that zombiefields you.
@mutalix Mega death affects every party member that isn't a zombie
Also confuse proof armor

I ran in there without looking at a guide first and had to use Yojimbo to cut that medusa in half at the end.
Jimbo coming in clutch as usual
Fighting Seymour Ominis after Yunalesca was a slap to the face. No wonder he never took care of Yunalesca himself.

Had to use all my aeons overdrives on both spectral keeper and yunalesca.
Just go back outside and buff up, there's a save point so you can easily ran around and then heal!
Since I love playing blitzball this fight became a walk in the park.
Attack reels ftw
Mega death the cheapest attack ever.
Ngl, my second time I ever faced her, I made sure Yuna had Holy and just spammed it the whole fight 😂😂😂
im not wven close to holy

That kills the person in zombie but
This made my life 10xxxx easier.. thank you.
It's not a 10 minute cutscene, save before the Jecht one, and then you only have to watch a 4/5 minute one
took me a minute but i finally did it! thanks for the tips 👊🏻
I did so much farming on zanarkand reached 5000 hp with everyone.
I did that for everyone except kimari . I ended up getting rikku Yuna and lulu all holy , Ultima and flare . Auron and tidua were hitting 9999 every time
I just got my highest defence and magic defence with most health to keep on zombie so when she casts mega death 1 is immune and then I can cast mega phoneix

Lol 1st playthrough 1st try , 4th playthrough took me 2 and a half hours
3 hours of it was that fucking cutscene. Lmao
Auron is some use to the party in this boss fight too with moves like Armor and Mental break
After a big cut scene, i always try to go back and save to avoid it in case i die.
thanks for this! beat her on my 2nd try
Thank youuuuuu for this
Still a legend 💪🏻
just fought this boss and killed it in first try… only for my game to crash and have me redo the boss fight. . .

Thanks for the help.
Simply with Darkproof, Silenceproof , and confuseproof and your fight simply becomes super easy
no, that doesnt work, cause you are getting zombie´d here.

I know a lot of people struggled with Yunalesca (my younger brother certainly did) and while she is one of the tougher bosses I had more trouble with Evrae than her, to be honest.
Same Evrae gave me a run for my money, had to spend a few days grinding wakka and luna just to beat him. Spent too long relying on aoens early game
I discovered myself this strat, but i keep getting my ass beaten, i do half the damage you do, i guess im under level af, fml
did you beat her
I’m here right now. I’m just gonna try on my own and come back if stuck. My only issue is zombie which I’m working on collecting a crap ton of candles right now.

Man I've been struggling with this fight for hours now. I refuse to go level just because of 1 boss
you rly dont have too
use 3 char you cast boom on on phase 1
when phase 2 pop use 3 other char (faster then removing the boom and prevent renov cast on you to be bounce on her)
always keep 1 under zombie in phase2
phase 3 end her until 20-30k then bahamut overdrive to her face to end it safe
its been a month so my strategy is old but I dont think I beat her that way. Pretty sure I didnt even have those skills unlocked
If u just use the blackmagic sphere's for yuna, and had her learn Ga magics this would be so ezzz
If u just use the blackmagic sphere's for yuna, and had her learn omose and Ga magics this would be so ezzz
How do you get the overdrives back up??? I used them on the previous battle..
Same
Just leave the temple and fight until u get them again
took me 2 hours but thank you 👍
Thank you😍
Thanks
I fucking hate this boss + the long ass cutscenes before the fight 😭 I'm gonna try again tomorrow cuz this boss is getting on my nerves 😭
How do I heal up tidus and auron if they have reflection?
Potions if they’re not zombies
Pray
ok thx
will the Final Aeon Temple light up if i have gotten all Chest all every Temple ? Just wondering I’m on this part where i have to fight yunalesca also i don’t own a airship
how he can hit and he
have darkness ?
How is your Auron doing that much damage lol, mine doesn't do more than 2.5k
I think I'm way underleveled
He is underleveled. On my playthrough he did much more. So for the first 2 phases it went by very quickly.
This boss is so annoying lol
This boss is the reason i never finished ffx to this day🤣🤣
Dude this boss is bs I have zombie ward on and still get it and the mega death shit it pure cral it wipes my whole squad in one attempt
the wards only work "sometimes"
but I think even with zombieproof, she'd still manage to land one since she spams hellbiter.
I agree with the mega death. It's such a shit ability.
@@obseed3041 I finally beat her and now stuck fighting tidus dad
You need zombie proof. Ward means partial protection, proof is full protection. Anything with “eater” means you can gain HP from the attacks.
i wasted all my overdrives on the boss adter the temple guardian can i go back from the place where the aeyon should be? otherwise im screwed
Yes, you can. Always try to leave whenever you’re stuck. You can take that teleportation pad all the way back to the Calm Lands if you want.
