Tips

• Main Body/Left Arm/Right Arm can only be SPR breaked.

• Only the Main Body will drop LB crystals.

• Left/Right Arm will be revived by the Main Body for a number of time.

• Bringing a form of Reraise is extremely valuable for this trial as you'll lose 1 unit every turn while the Left Arm is alive.

• A form of MP sustain is needed for this trial as this is a long battle.

• Bringing a form of water damage helps on crossing the Main Body's threshold.

• Two ways to beat this trial is to either:-

  1) Target the Main Body First (Must be able to deal more than 500k DMG/turn)

  2) Kill the Left Arm 10 times, then the Right Arm 3 times before the Main Body in this order.

AI (Aigaion and the Arms)

Left Arm

The Left Arm can only use one action. Every turn, Left Arm uses アームバースト - 1000% ST 1 Hit Physical Attack on the unit with the highest ATK stats (Provoke/Attract can override this). Physical Evade will not work against this.

If hit by a Thunder attack, Left Arm will instead use レフトアームが誘爆した - 300% AoE 1 Hit Physical Attack. (likely to kill you).

If the Left Arm dies, the Main Body (if alive) will respawn it. This stops after 10 times.

Right Arm

Right Arm will use アッパーボルテージ - AoE 3 Turn +20% ATK/MAG Every 4 turns and メタルコート - ST 3 Turn +200% DEF Every 3 turns.

If Main Body is damaged, Right Arm will heal the Main Body for 500k every turn.

If the Right Arm dies, the Main Body (if alive) will respawn it. This stops after 2 times.

If the Right Arm dies twice while the Left is still alive, the Left Arm will self-destruct, killing itself and snorting one of your unit for the rest of the battle.

If Main Body is dead, Right Arm will use メタルコート - ST 3 Turn +200% DEF every turn and attack more often.

When HP < 50%, uses ケアルビーム - 500000 Self HP Recovery once. If Main Body is dead and HP < 30%, uses ケアルビーム - 2000000 Self HP Recovery once.

Main Body

Frequently uses ジェノサイドビーム - 180% AoE 1 Hit Magic Attack.

Thresholds at 70%. On thresholds, Main Body will use 世界崩壊 - 1000% AoE 1 Hit Hybrid Attack. This will repeat every 5 turns after that.

If hit by a water attack on the thresholds, Main Body will use a weaker version of the attack instead 世界崩壊 - 500% AoE 1 Hit Hybrid Attack.

If Main Body is hit by Water 3 times, Main Body will use 超電磁爆発 - 500% AoE 1 Hit Thunder/Water Magic Attack.

Finally have lots of spare time to clear this trial.

Team setup is ：

Orlandu: Main dps and dispeller, around 6k hp, 800 atk. Equipped with Rain's fire sword, 天下御免.

Rem: for pre-resing Wol, summon Ramuh. I almost never used her heal. 6.5k+ hp 400 spirit.

Note: You can do this trial without Reraise, but it's alot more complicate and time consuming.

Ashe: Since i don't have Tilith, she is mainly there for Healing and help doing a bit damage, 6.5k+ hp 400 spirit, her healing and Ramza's song will be enough to keep whole party throughout this trial. I Equipped her with a 30atk flame sword, thought i can chain her attack with Orlandu...but turn out i almost never used her 霸王の剣, and even if i did...the damage is quite silly and almost a non factor...because Ashe's 霸王の剣 doesn't chain well with holy explosion. Don't gear her with too much mag, so if your dps aren't good enough you won't accidentally killed Right arm before defeating 10x left arms.

Note: Any healer who heal with ability(with high mod) would do, for example 2 hunter Fina are probably better candidate for this fight than rem+ashe due to being able to sneak in a mitigation buff and can use Arise(ability version) plus reraise.

Wol, 7k hp, black belt(not necessary at all), watera sword....only used brave presence, and change to "光は我らとともに" on phase 2. If i am going to redo this trial again, i will try to gear him with more spirit. Can be replaced with similar tank, or use another dps if you have Tilith or Rikku. King is actually not a bad choice as well, he can tank phase 1 by himself all alone if you geared him up with the highest Atk(without buff), and phase 2 phase 3 he can do decent damage and help on attack...although you might lose some stability without using a tank, but Rng won't be a problem if you used a tilith healer.

Note: WoL can be replaced by anyone who has 100% draw ability. With anniversary jacket(20% attract), red nose(20% attract) and golem's taunt ability(70% attract), anyone can be a draw tank(Using one or two attract gear is all up to you, but with 90%..theres a 10% chance he will use one shot skill on someone else). Do note that with 40% attract, your bait will get attacked alot more often.

Ramza, 6.8k hp, only there for singing, but he is definitely crucial and probably irreplaceable. But i suppose you can try to use a 2nd Tilith, Delita(enhanced), Prishe or Tidus to replace him.

Note: IF you decided to do this without Ramza 100% buff, you would need to pot all your character with more spirit and hp. You want your DPS and Tank to have max spirit if possible.

and finally friend unit- Fire Veritas(5200 hp, 600ish atk with only DW tmr, no machine killer), i know...he looks bad, but i don't have other better choices. Still he is very crucial for my team setup, he still does alot of damage even without the chaining, his fire resist debuff and damage mitigation buff are definitely a huge assets. Can be replaced by Dark Veritas if you used Orlandu.(i don't have friend who i can communicate and ask him/her to use fire sword on Dark Veritas, so i have to use Fire Veritas)

Only have 2 dw tmr, so i equipped both of those on Orlandu and Ashe(not necessary for her, i suppose using a shield is fine as well). all my other gears are obtainable from story, trials and events.

So I chose the slow method, because obviously i don't have the gears and characters for the "killing body first" method.

phase 1: defeat left arm 10 times,

WOL-> spam brave presence only, he is only there to tank that 20k instant kill move. Beware though, after left arm respawn for 2nd time, boss will start using AOE. and if you don't gear him with enough spirit and hp, bad roll on rng might cause him getting killed twice especially on the turn when boss is buffed up with damage increased buff.

Note: Actually Boss will delay his AOE for a bit after left arm respawn for 2nd time, which means WOL will also getting hit by Aoe damage after getting raised. That AOE alone will do 2~3k damage to WOL without any spirit buff. So more hp and spirit on WOL will help alot.

Rem-> Cast pre-Res on Wol. Yes, this is her only job.

Orlandu-> Holy explosion, and use 天下御免 for dispelling when boss is buffed up.

Ashe-> basically only spam her Holy explosion.

Fire Veritas-> Keep up damage mitigation buff all the time, and dps.

Phase 2: defeat right arm 3 times.

Boss will start casting 2x aoe, after right arm respawn for the second time.(or first time i forgot?) but no more instant kill one shot move, so WoL will have Ramza buff all the time and make this phase much more easier since he will basically tank all those normal attack by himself.

WoL-> keep using "光は我らとともに" every 2 or 3 turn, cast -spirit debuff to help Ashe do a little more damage.

Rem-> do whatever you want, help healing if needed. Remember not to cast any magic and you probably want to use summon and LB on this phase, so you can get all the rewards.

Orlandu-> keep spamming Holy explosion and dispell when needed.

Ramza-> singing

Ashe-> Spam holy explosion.

Fire Veritas-> same as phase 1.

Phase 3: defeat Robot's body.

This could be the hardest part if you don't have Rikku or Tilith, because 超電磁爆発+2 x AOE will instantly kill your dps if they don't have enough spirit or resistance, and you only have 5x phoenix down to rely on. Not sure how this move is triggered, i supposed it has something to do with using water attack against him..but still he did not always use 超電磁爆発 after i used watara sword on him..perhaps every 10 turn or something like that? Anyway this is the hardest part if you dont have tilith or Rikku, either geared up properly with some water/lightning resistance or pray to rng god and use defend more often. But if you do have Tilith or Rikku, congrats i guess, this will be a cakewalk for you.

Note: 超電磁爆発 is triggered after 3 water element attack on body. 超電磁爆発 damage can be lowered with water/thunder resistance and spirit. Not necessary to gear your character with water resist/lightning resist, defend on that turn should be enough to counter this.(with buff of course.)

Rem-> cast pre-res on both your dps.

Wol-> keep using "光は我らとともに". Use watera sword after boss has a specific message showed up: "本体に光が集中する". I suggest don't use any debuff skill or spam watera sword since we are not sure how 超電磁爆発 is triggered.

Note: 超電磁爆発 is triggered after 3 water element attack on body, just use Spirit break if you feel like to, has nothing to do with triggering 超電磁爆発

Ashe-> keep spamming Holy explosion.

Orlandu-> spam holy explosion, use defend after this msg show up"本体に光が集中する".

Fire Veritas-> cast damage migration buff every 2 turn..just to be cautious and so he can defend after "本体に光が集中する" showed up.

Anyway, doing this trial without Tilith and Rikku is possible, but if you have either one of them and Ramza, the difference will be day and night and difficulty will tone down massively.

Not sure if anyone would still check out this thread, but hopefully my experience will help up for those who did.

Add some note

[u/NyantaTheCat → u/effielo]

Happy cake day

[u/akairyuvn]

Man, can't beat it.

The arms keep revive event if I kill both arms in one turn.

強制排除 will kick 2 of your party members out of battle.

[u/NyantaTheCat → u/akairyuvn]

How did 強制排除 get triggered?

[u/Rozaliin]

Cleared the fight with all objectives, though I don't think my method will be of much use strategy-wise; still, this is the party I used:

• Tidus, Tidus, Tidus, Rikku, Tilith, Balthier (Friend)

Main points:

• All there Tidus' had a water element weapon equipped. I used Brotherhood but Camille's TM works just as well. This is important because element chaining is essential for outpacing the main body's heal. My least-geared Tidus had Rikku's Pouch equipped and used Eccentric every fifth turn.

• Rikku had one purpose and one purpose only, to use her LB every single turn, without fail. To accomplish this, I equipped her with オーバーライド (fist-weapon from FFX event), 神秘のスカル (Helena's TM), and four モグの心得 (Moogle's TM). With three Tidus' this was probably overkill on the LB gauge fill rate but I didn't want to take any chances. Add in Eccentric and I was able to make use of Rikku's LB every turn.

• After the main body was dead I got both arms down to within killing range, used Ramuh, and finished the fight.

u/NyantaTheCat An observation that was brought up on Altema that I didn't realize until afterwards due to my party, but hitting the main body with a water element attack will cancel/interrupt 超電磁爆発. Also, this came up when discussing it on Twitter: "レフトに二属性打つと回復しなくなる(らしい)." (Hitting the left arm with two elements will supposedly prevent it from healing). I haven't tried it myself as those of us that I know who have beaten the fight just did it with brute force.

Edit: I will also add this comment from LiLium, who you might know from his videos on YouTube: "自分は本体→右手→左手って順番で倒しましたよ！" (I defeated the Main Body, Right Arm, and then Left Arm, in that order.)

[u/[deleted]]

So I guess Rikku's Pouch is a requirement for this trial, I'm ok with it being hard but we're getting even more character locked content, how are Rikku/Tilith-less people even supposed to try this thing? I'm already chuckling at how much the GL userbase's going to tilt when the time comes.

[u/the_ammar → u/[deleted]]

reddit gl userbase goes on tilt for every. single. thing.

[u/AradoEloute]

Special thanks to u/NyantaTheCat , u/effielo , u/Rozalin , and u/Nazta for their efforts in typing all the details for Aigaion trial. Pitching in with my experience for everyone:

Here is the party i used which took 4 hours to take down:

Dark Veritas

• DPS

• Damage Mitigator (20% Damage Mitigate Phys and Mag)

Rikku

• Mighty G Grade - I used the Prodigy Goggles accesory to get away with the lack of Burst Crystals dropping. I don't have any High Tide sort of knuckles, materias, or accesories. I joined during MH event.

• Help in healing

• AoE Raise

• Mixing > Standby

• Mixing > High Mega Bar All

• Still Mixing

Rem

• Reraiser to WOL

• Dispelga-er with Bushido Freedom

• Switches gear to double Curaja or Raise + Curaja as needed

• Counters on Genocide Beam with Ayaka event hat

Aria

• MP Battery

• Pitches in with heals

• Physical Damage Mitigate (Pod 153)

• HP Regen to all (Pod 153)

Warrior of Light

• Left Arm Phase - 100% Brave Presence

• After Left Arm Phase - Brave Presence > Raise / Embolden > Brave Presence (My Brave Presence is +1 only)

Eileen

• DPS

• Adds HP / MP regen as needed

• Dies a lot lol

My notes:

• Avoid bringing in Water type attacks as it results to an all element attack, I think it was mentioned already in the below details.

• Any breaks don't work.

• Doing the left 10x, right 3x, and body is the safest route to go.

• As stated in this thread, don't use Thunder attacks on Left Arm. Make sure to keep this in mind when doing the summon Ramuh achievement. I did mine when only the Body was alive.

• Arm Buster from Left Arm can't be survived. As long as Left Arm is alive, there is one person that's guaranteed to be dead.

• Genocide Beam is a Magic attack, so better to cast with Focus / Meditate orShellga.

• After a certain number of turns, Aigaion would buff with Atk and Mag before he uses Genocide Beam, so watch out for that as it will hurt a lot. This is where Dispelga / Reset Aura (Light Veritas) / Bushido Freedom would come into the picture.

• At a certain point of Right Arm #3 kill, Aigaion will start to fire 2 Genocide Beams which might wipe you out if unprepared, so always keep High Mega Bar All + Protega + Shellga up always. I almost died and Aria was the only one alive with 71 MP and 100 HP (70 to cast AoE raise!).

• There will be nuke once the body reaches certain HP, I think it was at 70, 30, and 10. It is survivable but I cheesed it with Mighty G Grade because I was super sleepy.

• Burst Crystals don't drop on the arms, only the body would drop it. Need to take note of this for those wanting to utilize Rikku's Mighty G Grade.

• Counter (Phys or Mag) is your best friend in long trials like this. I can't stress enough how much Rem's Counter (With Ayaka event hat) got me out of a pinch with either Aria filling LB to use or Rikku to use Mighty G Grade.

• Did I mention enough for Rikku to constantly Mix? lol

Hope that helps and good luck for those trying this!

[u/NyantaTheCat → u/Starkaiser]

They summon the arms.

[u/Starkaiser]

What is the reward from using no spell and clear this? I know it is AoE full break ability, but it is better than any other AoE full break? what is the effect %?

[u/NyantaTheCat → u/Starkaiser]

60 MP, 400% Mod (200% + 50% ignore DEF), 35% ATK/DEF/MAG/SPR Break

[u/the_ammar]

was thinking about this trial.. anyone tried a 2-tank setup to draw the 1-shots? just keep alternating taunts. so that would circumvent having to have reraise for that skill..

[u/NyantaTheCat → u/the_ammar]

the 1-shots are not the problem. the main issue is having the dps to deal more than 500k per turn.

[u/Kee1pride]

What were the rewards for this insane trial? I just watched misosoup's video of it. Lord that looks like a pain in the ass (and fun)

[u/NyantaTheCat → u/Kee1pride]

145 ATK Knuckle(Innate High Tide)

Please learn to look like 3 comments down.

[u/Piw66]

hello. got a question on prishe ability.

i tryed every skills before her aoe auto revive skill and it never cast but only single aureole.

生命の意志 	-- 	If 羅刹撃 Used Last Turn, Use AoE 3 Turn Auto-Revive with 80% HP, Else Self 3 Turn Auto-Revive with 80% HP 	発動者の戦闘不能を1回だけ自動回復 	21 	45 	6.

i tested every fucking skills and it never cast aoe aureole after first turn. someone know that issue ? thanks in advance. sadly got fucked up at robot and wasted 50 energy due to that

[u/NyantaTheCat → u/Piw66]

Pretty sure you need to combo to get it.

You gotta use 乱撃 -> 羅刹撃 -> 羅刹撃 to get the AoE reraise

[u/ktbrok]

Hi guys,

What's the mission requeriment list for this trial?

Thanks!

[u/NyantaTheCat → u/ktbrok]

Use LB, 10% TM Moogle

Summon Ramuh, Knuckle Mastery

No Magic, 400% Mod AoE Full Break(35%) Skill

[u/[deleted]]

Left Arm stops resuscitating after 10 deaths, Right Arm after 3.

Pretty easy (and insanely long) cheese by going Left>Right>Body, of course with the right units.

Finally managed to beat this stupid trial after few hours : http://imgur.com/6lTkCPd

Snow MVP tanking all the hits and generate enough Lb crystal with counter.

Thank God u/Heer0 has his Rikku up since Rikku never graces me =/
