INTRODUCTION - G0400 ============================================================================= ============================================================================= Hello! I am Damir Kolar and I welcome you to fifth FFX-2 related project. There is many a question rising each day on FFX-2 gameplay board on GameFAQs regarding Blue Bullets skills and people grow weary of answering them. Hopefully this guide will offer a helping hand to those guys and gals. Without further wasting of my and your time, welcome to my Blue Bullet guide. ============================================================================= ============================================================================= 05.) READ THIS FIRST! - G0500 ============================================================================= ============================================================================= Main issues addressed in this section are: ============================================================================= What is a Blue Bullet? ------------------------------------------------ G0501 What do I need to start learning Blue Bullet skills? ------------------ G0502 How do I get one of Blue Bullet skills? ------------------------------- G0503 Anything else I should know about? ------------------------------------ G0504 ============================================================================= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- A - WHAT IS A BLUE BULLET? - G0501 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- In a nutshell, this is another term for blue magic. Blue Magic is the type of magic which can be learned from enemies (fiends), for your own personal use. In my opinion blue magic has been the most useful type of magic thru the history of Final Fantasy games - luckily, the collection of blue bullets available in this game doesn't let you down. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- B - WHAT DO I NEED TO START LEARNING BLUE BULLET SKILLS? - G0502 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- You only need one simple prerequisite - getting gun mage dressphere. This dressphere can be obtained in either CH1 or CH2. Here's how: CH1 - attempt 'Shave the Hypello' subquest in Moonflow by finding the stuck Hypello on screen called 'Moonflow - South Bank road'; agree to escort it back to Moonflow; even if you lose all luggage, YOU STILL GET THE DRESSPHERE CH2 - attempt 'YRP, the scalpers three' subquest in Moonflow by talking to Tobli, who will want you to sell some tickets; to ensure you get this dressphere, YOU MUST SELL AT LEAST SIX TICKETS AT A BASE PRICE, it doesn't matter if you make any profit Once gun mage dressphere is yours, you're already set. Blue Bullet skill in Abilities screen of your main menu is already active, but if you look into it, you'll see it's empty. So you wonder how do you actually learn some? Look below. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- C - HOW DO I GET ONE OF BLUE BULLET SKILLS? - G0503 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- First rule: ENEMIES MUST USE THE BLUE BULLET SKILL YOU'RE TRYING TO LEARN ON YOUR GUN MAGES! Second rule: YOUR GIRLS MUST BE WEARING GUN MAGE DRESSPHERE AT THE TIME THEY'RE HIT WITH BLUE BULLET SKILL, OR ELSE THEY WON'T LEARN IT. Third rule: AS YOUR GIRLS ARE HIT WITH BLUE BULLET SKILL, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER OR NOT THEY SURVIVE IT. THEY LEARN THE SKILL IN EITHER CASE. Fourth rule: HAVING SAY PAINE USE CERTAIN BLUE BULLET ON SAY RIKKU WILL NOT WORK! IT MUST BE THE ENEMIES USING SUCH ABILITIES ON YOUR GIRLS. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- D - ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? - G0504 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Yep. There's 16 BB skills you can learn in this game. 14 of them are attack type skills, and only two are of defensive nature - these are White Wind and Mighty Guard. As you would suspect, White Wind and Mighty Guard aren't going to be used on you 'accidentally' by the enemies - you have to help them make the right choice. And how do you that? Power of confusion, mon ami. Here's some ways of inflicting confusion on the enemies. - Full Throttle: Crazy Wing ability - lady luck: Tantalize ability - alchemist: Blaster Mine mix (combine Potion + Sleep Grenade) - dark knight: Confuse ability - Chaos Shock accessory: Confusetouch ability - Raging Giant garment grid: Confuse ability - Floral Fallal: Panic Floralysis - Machina Maw: Confuse Missile Just pick one of the above and inflict confusion on desired enemy (list will appear below, don't worry). Now you must be patient - White Wind and Mighty Guard may not be used on your party straight away. It will take some time before luck works in your favor and prompts the enemy to cast them on you. But as soon as they do, it's party time. Here's some more useful tips and reminders it would be good for you to know: - BB skills require MP to be cast - no MP no magic - MP cost for BB skills can be: -> halved by equipping Gold Hairpin acc or Font of Power GG -> reduced to 1 once you cross all gates on Font of Power GG -> reduced to 0 if you use Twin Stars or Three Stars, or equip Ragnarok acc - even if your gun mage is silenced, she can use BB skills - three BB skills are available only once or twice for learning, look in next section for more info - remember, it must be the enemies using BB skills against you - many of BB skills are crappier in terms of usefulness when used by your girls - an example would be Mighty Guard cast by Haizhe; just look at all the useful statuses enemies gained - BB skills cannot be reflected; so your attempt at trying to cast reflect on enemies in order to have BB skill bounce off won't bear fruit - if there's a tough BB you would like to learn, but your girls are not quite fit yet to take on the fiend, do the following: enter the battle against the fiend that has the BB you wish to learn - have one girl run away, then just hold your ground with other two girls until they've learned the BB - you can now either escape or let them be killed - you won't get game over cos one girl escaped beforehand (contributed by Joe B.) ============================================================================= ============================================================================= 06.) BLUE BULLETS - G0600 ============================================================================= ============================================================================= Main issues addressed in this section are: ============================================================================= 1000 Needles BB --------------- G0601 | Absorb BB --------------------- G0602 Annihilator BB ---------------- G0603 | Bad Breath BB ----------------- G0604 Blaster BB -------------------- G0605 | Cry in the Night BB ----------- G0606 Drill Shot BB ----------------- G0607 | Fire Breath BB ---------------- G0608 Heaven's Cataract BB ---------- G0609 | Mighty Guard BB --------------- G0610 Mortar BB --------------------- G0611 | Seed Cannon BB ---------------- G0612 Stone Breath BB --------------- G0613 | Storm Cannon BB --------------- G0614 Supernova BB ------------------ G0615 | White Wind BB ----------------- G0616 ============================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1000 NEEDLES - G0601 MP CONSUMPTION - 24 MP What does it do? - inflicts 1000 units of special damage to one target Learned from? - Cactuar, CH5, Bikanel - Cactuar Hollow, ViaInfinito floors 47-59 Additional tips? - Not a great skill to own. What it is good for is that damage it does ignores special traits. As for learning, when you see Cactuar bounce around followed by funny noises, it's prepping the skill to be used. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABSORB - G0602 MP CONSUMPTION - 3 MP What does it do? - one target loses some HP and MP, which are added to user's HP and MP gauge, increase user's MAG to deal higher damage Learned from? - Baralai - CH2, Bevelle - labyrinth Black Elemental - CH5, ViaInfinito floors 40 & 81-99 Cindy - CH5, Road to Farplane Flan Azabache - CH5, Calm Lands - ruin depths, ViaInfinito floors 65-69 Haizhe - CH1&2, Macalania woods, ViaInfinito floors 16-19 Jahi - CH5, Farplane Heart Protochimera - CH1&2&3, many places Additional tips? - This is a great skill to have at start of game. For measly 3 MP you steal both HP and MP from one enemy, crippling them effectively. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ANNIHILATOR - G0603 MP CONSUMPTION - 48 MP What does it do? - inflicts non-elemental magic damage VS all members in target party, increase user's MAG to deal higher damage, damage can be reduced with shell Learned from? - Experiment, CH5, Djose temple; Special trait must be Lv5 Additional tips? - YOU HAVE ONLY SIX CHANCES TO LEARN THIS BLUE BULLET!!!!!! So where do we get these 6 chances from, huh? First five chances (coming from 5 repair manuals) plus the initial battle, but you have to meet the requirements first. If you increase the Special Assembly parts, it can get a new attack. For example, if its levels are 4-4-5 and you have not yet fought it, do it and you'll it'll use Annihilator! So to get 6 chances, just dig up only Special Assembly and nothing else. Save at the SSP and reset whenever you get anything else if you want the easy battle of 1-1-5. Then just fight it 5 times at the level of choice (but special must be level 5) and turn the last chance into the Episode Complete battle by finally gathering the level to 5-5-5 and fighting it for the final time. Annihilator is used as next attack after boss uses Lifeslicer, so make sure you're under shell to survive. Great thing about Annihilator is that it ignores MDEF of target/s. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- BAD BREATH - G0604 MP CONSUMPTION - 64 MP What does it do? - inflicts poison, silence, darkness, slow, sleep and either berserk or confusion on all members in target party; target cannot be both berserked and confused Learned from? - Great Malboro - CH5, Farplane Heart Malboro - CH3&4&5, Besaid, Thunder plains Additional tips? - I love this BB. Unfortunately, you need to have at least one girl still be able to fight after this BB has been used on you. It will be learned regardless of the outcome, but if girls kill each other cos of being confused, it doesn't do you much good, huh? Anyway, make sure girls are protected against sleep, berserk and confusion. If you're trying to learn it from Malboro - it must be attacked or healed ten times, and Bad Breath will be used on Malboro's next turn. As for Great Malboro, it'll use Bad Breath soon enough, don't you worry. Author's note: I've received a strat on learning Bad Breath from MaliceDR: You'll need gun mage, alchemist with Mega-Potion stash ability (or white mage), White Wind for all three chrs, and you need to be immune to sleep. Now here's what you do. When the battle begins, change all three of your girls to gun mages (or start out as gun mages - I prefer to change in-battle and gain a gate bonus or two). Next, cap it a few times to soften it up. The more damage you do now, the less you have to do later. And it'll be tougher later because, each of its Squirt attacks afflicts your girls with all four breaks. Scan is always there to keep you informed of its HP and prevent you from killing it. From the start of the battle, keep an eye on your Malboro and count how many attacks you did to it. When you get to 10th attack, it's time to change tactics. Start spamming White Wind every turn for every girl. It won't remove the breaks, but it WILL top off your HP before the Bad Breath comes out. Plus it will prevent you from being caught off guard, which would prove quite annoying. After receiving 10th attack, it'll open wide and spout out big green cloud of gas. Now all of our girls have learned Bad Breath, but are afflicted with every status effect known to man. But not for long. If you've been spamming White Wind like I've told you, these afflictions, every last one, will be wiped away from your girls before they even knew they had them. Now you're at exactly the same place you were beforehand, except now all of your girls know Bad Breath. From there, just pop a cap in it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLASTER - G0605 MP CONSUMPTION - 30 MP What does it do? - special type damage, reduces HP of one target by 93,75% of current HP, may inflict KO Learned from? - Coeurl - CH1&2&5, Besaid, Calm lands, ViaInfinito floors 7-9 Queen Coeurl - CH2&3&5, Besaid - cave, many other places Additional tips? - Learning this BB from Coeurl is no biggy, but from Queen it is, as it may KO your girl instead. To avoid the latter case, make sure you have something with Deathproof equipped - this will lower girl's HP to 1 HP instead when hit. Anyway, since there's very high probability of enemy being immune to effects of Blaster, don't rely on using it too much. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- CRY IN THE NIGHT - G0606 MP CONSUMPTION - 80 MP What does it do? - inflicts non-elemental magic damage VS all members in target party, increase user's MAG to deal higher damage, damage can be reduced with shell Learned from? - Mega Tonberry - CH5, ViaInfinito floors 41+ Additional tips? - An absolute toughie to be learned. First, Mega Tonberry must be oversouled and at low HP. Furthermore, make sure your MDEF is somewhere around 200 with shell in effect as well (Adamantite equipped would be nice) - whittle Mega's HP down and hope that he uses Cry in the Night soon. With 200+ MDEF you will take about 500 damage at most. But once you do get it, it's crying time for the enemies. I recommend that you learn it one girl per one fight. Author's note: I've received rather lengthy e-mail from contributor Rei N. in which he has shared his strategy on getting Cry in the Night BB (I've modified the text a bit). Enjoy. Party equipment: EVERY GIRL SHOULD HAVE THE FIRE EATER ABILITY. You see, in my experience, Firaga is one of oversouled Mega Tonberry's favorite spells, often his first attack, and Fire Eater will go a LONG way in keeping the girls alive. His other major spell is Flare (which fortunately only hits one girl), so Reflect is nice, but not necessary (in fact, it may affect the strategy, so you may be better off just Phoenix Downing). In fact, I'd go so far as to say that oversouled Mega Tonberry is EASIER than regular Mega Tonberry; because he can cast spells while oversouled, he'll (almost never) attack you with Chef's Knife for more than one turn in a row, and so with the proper magical preparation, you're much less likely to die. Here's a sample layout that's along the lines of what I used: - Yuna (Ray of Hope GG), lv95 or so: gun mage (should be neighboring alchemist on the GG, just in case something goes horribly wrong), equipped with Crimson Ring and acc which boosts HP or MDEF (or consider Auto-Shell) - Rikku (Ray of Hope), lv95 or so: gun mage (neighboring alchemist), equipped with Force of Nature and acc which boosts HP or MDEF - Paine (Highroad Winds), lv99 gunner (MUST neighbor gun mage), equipped with Cat Nip and Crimson Ring and in critical As an aside, most of my levels came from a LOT of fighting as a party of three lady lucks. An ideal time to do this is while catching and dispatching chocobos to access the chocobo ranch dungeon, and while you're traveling the five roads leading to the Farplane to get the Megiddo GG. So, thus prepared, I go up against the Mega Tonberry. There's a chance, of course, that the regular Tonberry will be the one oversouled; just reset if so. Anyway, Paine strikes first, thanks to Highroad Winds. She hits Mega Tonberry with EXACTLY four hits of Trigger Happy. This puts Mega Tonberry within striking distance of low HP. You can have Rikku or Yuna heal Paine if you like here, but your higher priority is to switch Paine to Gun Mage ASAP. More likely than not, Mega Tonberry's first attack will be Firaga. Thanks to my important tip, you actually gain HP for this, especially good for Paine, now that her Cat Nip attacking has served its purpose. Of course, occasionally Flare or Chef's Knife will kill someone; just Phoenix Down and keep their HP up (just in case Firaga doesn't do that for you). But it's VITAL to make sure Paine switches to Gun Mage quickly. Once all three girls are Gun Mages, hit Mega Tonberry with regular attacks or weaker magics, making sure all three girls stay alive. After 9999 or less damage total, he should pause for longer than he usually does. This is your cue. Watch as he casts Cry in the Night and all three of your Gun Mages learn it. At least one girl should be alive after this, more if their HP and MDEF is up. Mega Tonberry SHOULD be weak enough so that one hit from any girl should destroy him; if you're nervous, make your first priority a Mega Phoenix. If Mega Tonberry casts Firaga, you're golden; if he does anything else (and nothing else he does can hit more than one girl now that he's done his Cry in the Night), a regular Phoenix Down should do the trick while the other girl gets the job done. Then just finish the trivial task of defeating the regular Tonberry and get thee to a save point! Now, though this sounds simple, it took quite a bit of trial and error to get to this point. I had to maintain a count from my first oversouled Tonberry (around Cloister 40 or so) to make sure I timed things right. I also took a while to gain the Fire Eater insight. But once I did, my very next battle got me three Cries in the Night, as opposed to just two - without Fire Eater, someone usually died before Paine was able to switch to Gun Mage, diverting precious turns and wasting time. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- DRILL SHOT - G0607 MP CONSUMPTION - 32 MP What does it do? - inflicts physical damage VS one target, increase user's STR to deal higher damage, damage can be reduced with protect Learned from? - Baralai - CH2, Bevelle - labyrinth; CH5, Den of Woe Additional tips? - YOU HAVE ONLY TWO CHANCES TO LEARN THIS BLUE BULLET!!!!!! Make a combination of ten moves against Baralai which *must* cause his HP gauge to be changed. For example, attack him twice, then heal him, attack thrice, heal him, attack thrice... Now Baralai will use Drill Shot as the next move against the girl that last attacked/healed him. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- FIRE BREATH - G0608 MP CONSUMPTION - 28 MP What does it do? - inflicts fire magic damage VS all members of target party, increase user's MAG to deal higher damage, damage can be reduced with shell, don't use this skill on enemies that reduce or absorb fire damage Learned from? - Balivarha - CH3&4&5, Thunder plains, Calm lands Additional tips? - Yawn. Absolutely useless BB - use it for healing your girls instead when they have Fire Eater auto-ability. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- HEAVEN'S CATARACT - G0609 MP CONSUMPTION - 22 MP What does it do? - inflicts non-elemental magic damage to all members in target party, and reduces DEF & MDEF by -2 levels, increase user's MAG to deal higher damage, damage can be reduced with shell Learned from? - Chac - CH5, ViaInfinito floors 80-99 Gucumatz - CH3&5, Thunder plains, Zanarkand Kukulcan - CH2&5, Bevelle - underground, ViaInfinito floors 16-19 Additional tips? - Make sure you're supremely protected against magic damage by boosting your MDEF as high as possible before learning this BB. Don't forget to have Stoneproof on to avoid being petrified. Once you attain this skill, it's of great use on enemies, as you can effectively decrease both DEF and MDEF by -2 points, assuming of course that the enemy isn't immune to Armor and Mental breaks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- MIGHTY GUARD - G0610 MP CONSUMPTION - 32 MP What does it do? - adds shell and protect on all members of target party Learned from? - Garik - CH3, Mt Gagazet Haizhe - CH1&2, Macalania woods, ViaInfinito floors 16-19 Additional tips? - Both of the above enemies must be confused in order to have them use this BB on your party. Even though it only adds shell and protect, this is great asset to your list. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- MORTAR - G0611 MP CONSUMPTION - 99 MP What does it do? - physical attack VS all members of target party, increase user's STR to deal higher damage, damage can be reduced with protect Learned from? - Gippal - CH5, Den of Woe Additional tips? - YOU HAVE ONLY ONE CHANCE TO LEARN THIS BLUE BULLET!!!!!! Bring Gippal's HP below 75%, and chances for him to use Mortar have just been increased. Great thing about Mortar is that it ignores DEF of target/s. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- SEED CANNON - G0612 MP CONSUMPTION - 28 MP What does it do? - removes 37,5% MAX HP from one target, physical type attack, damage can be reduced with protect Learned from? - Cephalotus - CH3&5, Besaid, Mi'ihen road Leucophylla - CH3&5, Calm lands Additional tips? - Another of yawn-type skills, and another not worthy of your MP. Before learning it, make sure girls have more than 50% MAX HP. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- STONE BREATH - G0613 MP CONSUMPTION - 32 MP What does it do? - attempts to petrify all members of target party Learned from? - Dolmen - CH5, Road to Farplane, many other places Epitaph - CH5, Mi'ihen fiend colony, ViaInfinito floors 75-79 Monolith - CH5, Road to Farplane Tomb - CH3, Kilika temple, Djose temple, ViaInfinito floors 27-29 Additional tips? - Simple enough to learn... just have that Stoneproof. In the end, mildly useful for dispatching multiple enemies susceptible to petrification at once. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- STORM CANNON - G0614 MP CONSUMPTION - 38 MP What does it do? - inflicts non-elemental magic damage to all members in target party, which is equal to caster's level x 30, damage can be reduced with shell Learned from? - Ironside - CH3&4&5, Kilika, Zanarkand, Thunder plains Additional tips? - A tough one to learn. Make sure you're healed regularly cos of Ironside's attack which reduces HP to one. Usually some time after you see Body Splash Ironside opens its chest and starts charging - this is the time when it will use Storm Cannon; apply shell if not already. This skill is nice as it ignores MDEF of targets, but the bad thing is that it's reduced by shell. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUPERNOVA - G0615 MP CONSUMPTION - 70 MP What does it do? - inflicts humongous non-elemental magic damage VS all members in target party, increase user's MAG to deal higher damage, damage can be reduced with shell Learned from? - Ultima Weapon - CH5, Calm lands - ruin depths, ViaInfinito floors 47-49 Additional tips? - Supernova is only used by Ultima Weapon in its regular form. Supernova is *not* used if Ultima Weapon is oversouled. Your HP and MDEF should be top notch to survive the onslaught. Once this BB is yours, it's time for some ownage. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHITE WIND - G0606 MP CONSUMPTION - 16 MP What does it do? - recovers 37,5% of MAX HP for each member of target party, removes poison, silence, darkness, berserk, confuse, sleep Learned from? - Bully Cap - CH1&2&5, Mi'ihen, Mushroom rock, Bikanel Coeurl - CH1&2&5, Besaid, Calm lands, ViaInfinito floors 7-9 Ms. Goon - CH1, Zanarkand Mycotoxin - CH3&5, Mi'ihen, Gagazet, Zanarkand Queen Coeurl - CH2&3&5, Besaid - cave, many other places Additional tips? - Get this as soon as you get gun mage dressphere. White Wind's ability to restore HP as well as remove many status changes makes it invaluable thru whole game. Like with Mighty Guard, you must confuse the enemy in order to have it use this skill on you. ============================================================================= ============================================================================= 07.)
