g. Shinryu Hp: 2,000,000
This battle is the hardest battle in the entire NSG game. Shinryu lives in
water, so you can only use Rikku, Tidus and Wakka in your party, the worst
thing is: he DOES have a powerful group attack, and his agility is good, too.
This battle will take you hundreds, or maybe thousands attempts to win, you
will need luck in this battle very bad.
Shinryu has three attacks: His claw attack deals 15,000+ damage to a single
character, he also uses his claw attack as his counterattack; his shining
fires 9 missiles to your party as his infamous group attack, each missile
deals around 1,500~2,000 damage; and his eraser shatters a single target,
which can not be prevented by stone proof armor, and I assume ribbon armor
( only in international or PAL version) won´t work against eraser, either.
Your chance to win this battle is almost close to zero, but in order to
unlock Nemesis, you HAVE to win. Let´s get it starts:
You don´t have to add anymore new ability on your armors, auto phoenix and
auto haste will be good enough. Some people suggest me adding Hp+30% and auto
shell abilities on armors, but it still won´t be good enough to block
Shanty´s shining.
You need these following items:
99 phoenix downs
Enough items to mix around 50 trio of 9999 and 50 Hyper Mighty G
30 Mega phoenixes for safe
Few elemental gems
Something that can raise your "luck" in the real life like a good luck charm,
a bible, a picture of your boyfriend/family or something makes you feel lucky,
luck is the most important thing in this battle!!!
Overdrive mode: Comrade for Rikku, and stoic for Tidus and Wakka.
After battle begins, have Rikku mix a Hyper Mighty G first, and have Tidus
attack Shinryu. Shinryu will counter attack Tidus and refill Rikku´s
overdrive gauge.
If Shinryu uses claw attack on Wakka or Tidus in his turn, Have Rikku mix a
trio of 9999 when her turns is up, and have other people attack.
If Shinryu uses shining, then probably all three people will be killed, and
they will be revived by auto life. However, Shinryu will have an extra turn
before you can move, so if he uses shining again, you are dead. The only
thing you can do is to pray that if he does not do two shining in a row.
Sometimes his shining only hits two people, consider you are lucky if it
happens.
You have to keep at least two people in auto life status, mix another Hyper
Mighty G when it is needed. Only mix trio of 9999 after he uses claw attack.
If Shinryu uses eraser, then you are basically screwed. However, since
Shinryu selects his attack randomly, it is possible for him not to do eraser
at all in the battle, although the chance is very little. And it is possible
for him only doing claw attack, although I doubt if anyone could be this
lucky.
IF you can defeat Shinryu, then the biggest obstacle in your NSG monster
arena quest has been conquered!!! Be ready for the ultimate boss: Nemesis!!!
