Greater Sphere Boss Battle Guide

FFX Greater Sphere

Details

Greater Sphere changes its elemental weakness similarly to Spherimorph. The optimal strategy to beat Greater Sphere however, is by using Multi-hit Overdrives. Every Overdrive will be countered by Hydraulic press however.

Preparation

Armour Auto-Protect(Ovedrive Strategy), Auto-Shell(Slow Strategy), andAuto-Haste.
Stats Max Stats (Specially Magic Defense if you plan to use the safe strategy)
Weapons Celestial Weapons
Abilities Entrust

Moveset

Hydraulic Press Deals fractional damage to all your party members equal to 15/16 of their maximum HP.
It also uses this move as a counter attack to overdrives
Black Magics Ultima
used as a counter attack against normal attacks

Strategy

The safest(and slowest) way to defeat Greater Sphere is to have a maxed out Magic Defense stat and keep attacking Greater Sphere. Doing it this way will make Greater Sphere counter with Ultima which will deal around 900 damage to a party with max magic defense. The animation of Ultima is long however so this will take a while.

Luck Sphere Farming

Immediately cast protect on everyone then use offensive Multi-hit Overdrives (not needed if Auto-protect is equipped). Hydraulic press is a physical attack meaning its damage will be reduced by protect. This will allow you to use 2 Overdrives without dying to both Hydraulic Presses. Cure everyone then repeat until Greater Sphere falls. Using Entrust is also a good choice if all the buffs have been used already so you can just give your supporting character's overdrive to Tidus or Wakka.
