How to Defeat Angra Mainyu in Final Fantasy X 2

Angra Mainyu is a really tough boss that is difficult to take on. Here's how, and as long as it is, you will do it after a couple of tries.

Method 1
Method 1 of 2:

Using Yuna, Rikku and Paine

    Remember that you can use Yuna, Rikku and Paine above level 55. If not, train until they are. You will also need to learn to break HP and Damage limits with ultimate dresspheres.

    Know that as soon as you enter battle, have everyone change into their ultimate dresspheres; in particular, Rikku.

    Have Rikku go into Machina Maw. This is a really hot dressphere simply because the Vajra attack isn't cancelled out by any of Angra Mainyu, Zarik, or Tarik.

    Keep this up, along with healing magic and supporting magic.

    Switch to Yuna immediately when Rikku is killed.

    Activate shield and barrier on Yuna. With the right pistil, keep healing your floral fallal. The left stigma will branch out nonstop attacks on the guy only hit by physical damage. Yuna uses great whirl.

    Use all life when they use Petridon's flame and Yuna doesn't get hit. This is to revive them back to life.

    Use Paine as your character when Yuna's shield and Barrier go away. In Paine's dressphere, it's very strong. Unfortunately, Zarich's chances are high since Paine's ultimate attacks render useless against Zarich. But don't worry about it, just focus on Angra Mainyu.

    Keep healing Paine and preparing to resurrect her and you should kill The Angra Mainyu.

Method 2 of 2:

MP drain

    1
    Use MP draining abilities on Angra Mainyu after taking out Tawrich and Zarich (or while taking out Tawrich and Zarich, depending on your preference and level). Note: normally if you can survive past this step, you should be fine for the rest of the battle. This means it might be possible to defeat this boss at around level 50.

    Once Angra Mainyu's MP is down to single digits, keep its MP low. This will cause Angra Mainyu to mainly use Osmose, instead of its other, more powerful abilities.

    Heal when needed and cast Auto-life (just in case).

    Lay waste to Angra Mainyu with your choice of high-damaging abilities. Darkness from Dark Knight and Annihilator from Gun Mage are some very good choices.
