@@SaNiizAwSoMe You want to do enough damage to push the Eater back (500) but not so much that you kill him outright, because then you won't gain the two Level 1 key spheres. He only needed about a hundred more damage that round and Lulu's fire would have done more than is prudent.
The benefits of pushing CE over the cliff is obvious level 1 keys but you also stand a chance of getting a rare weapon drop of magic/strength 10%. I highly recommend saving before battle and keep retrying the battle for the desired drop.
The first playthrough, that thing pushed the party off the cliff, and Auron had some coachings for Tidus. It's an example, that he was preparing Tidus for Jecht.
When you knock him on his back, pay attention to the bosses turn. Wait until his turn passes, then do 500 dmg as fast as possible, so when he stands up, you have more turns before he attacks again, avoiding being pushed back.
just let each of your characters get 1 action in to recieve exp then go ahead and summon ifrit , i used 1 regular attack to immediately knock him over then one weak fire to push him back , rinse repeat 3 times and he's gone over the edge.
first time i tried i got pushed off, then let myself die in the smaller battles too ashamed hahaha i reloaded and used a lot of fire on it, and when i was back where i stood first, i used the fire aeon yuna has, its overdrive nearly killed it, then another meteor strike on it and it died. ;-)
This is bs, on switch hd I cant push it off at all. Right as its at the edge it will push me back and Ill end up killing it. 5 resets so far cant get it to not bs me and stop me right before its about to get pushed off.
It doesnt matter if you dont push it off. Lvl1 spheres arent that rare anyway. You get plenty of them as needed. The game is balanced to understand that you probably wont push it off.
If you are pushed off the cliff, you see a chocobo feather fall. This indicates it went back to eating chocobos before getting killed by a machina weapon.
Cast haste, just to skip turns?
Only true gamers will understand.
@@carnivalcadaver69 yes but......why?can you please explain ?
@@SaNiizAwSoMe No
@@carnivalcadaver69 so basically theres no explanation lol

Deal 1200 dmg to knock it over then 500 to push it back.
Thank you, Your comment is more useful than the stupid 3 min vid
@@dta366 I'm sorry your comprehension skills are not up to par.

I've never seen what happens when chocobo eater gets pushed off as I always just kill it. That was pretty amusing to see.
And with a lot less strategizing than the first video I endured, lol!
Yes that was satisfying!🤣

Tnx. Glad I read the comments

Thank you so much. This is what I was missing. 7 failures, read your comment ,and success on the next try.
I love FF logic.
Swords slashes and LITERAL magic: I could do this all day.
20ft drop: insta kill.
there could be some sharp rocks down at the bottom of that cliff u never know
Also dark souls logic
Don't use any Extract abilities/weapons if you want those lvl 1 spheres. They will replace those & your efforts wi have been for naught.
Nikolai Hillis thanks
I usually summon valefor since he can’t be pushed back lol
Every time I get him to the edge, he promptly pushes me straight back.
First time I see this! Awesome! It always Pushed me down the cliff when I was a kid... Now i kill it but never find out how to push it...
genuinely thank you you are a life saver
How’d you get Flametongue already?
I didn't know you could push it back that far I killed it before it fell off
glad to help
Mine would auto get up and always push back right away no matter what i tried lol
Same
Reminds me of FF7... the only and first game I ever played... You have an awesome vid!
first time i tried i got pushed off, then let myself die in the smaller battles
too ashamed hahaha
i reloaded and used a lot of fire on it, and when i was back where i stood first, i used the fire aeon yuna has, its overdrive nearly killed it, then another meteor strike on it and it died. ;-)
Thank you very much
I haven’t had the time to use the sphere grid yet. It’s a bit hard now. :)
lol what?
@@rbeforme yep, skipped it for a long time. 😂

@@EthVortexShield idk what to tell you, you can see it in the video
got some lucky ass crits from auron there

then don't push it off
Thank you!! This worked!
glad it helped.
@@carnivalcadaver69 do you remember how you got Flametongue before this fight? Couldn’t find it anywhere and in no shops. Is it a drop?
@@asneakylawngnome5792 i have no idea, im sorry, but I imagine its a drop yeah
I didnt know that u can push this to water 😂🤣
I always kill this chocobo eater 😅😅
And I always get pushed. 😂
@@fandyramli1181 Likewise lol 😆
I will play again ffx soon, so this strategy is mandatory for the game?
@@88swordmaster why would it be mandatory?
@@carnivalcadaver69 IDK thats why Im asking, maybe for rare items that cant be obtained later? (I love ff but Im not an expert player)
@@88swordmaster I think it gets you something? Idk it's been years
@@carnivalcadaver69 ok, to be safe I will adopt this strategy so I don't lose anything (:
I prefer to overkill ce. Exp is better for me
Those key spheres are very useful early on. You can just grind if you want XP
Called Cocobo eater but you don't see it eat any chocobos.
Did you not see it put down the chocobo it was holding in order to fight your party?
If you are pushed off the cliff, you see a chocobo feather fall. This indicates it went back to eating chocobos before getting killed by a machina weapon.
Where do u get haste ?
On the sphere grid..
But i slayed it🧐
You can get 2 lvl1 key spheres for beating it this way, BUT you're ineligible for extra AP from Overkill.
i never seen him get knocked over
There's no way to win the fight without doing it...
Don’t even waste time with this boss just kill it
