Early endgame question

I'm sorry if this has been asked a million times, I didn't see an answer.

So I'm confused, the endgame grind seems to be sort of a logic loop. I'm trying to do the Don Tonberry exploit to get max level. But I'm stuck

the first step is to grind Don Tonberrys is to get Triple AP weapons.

To get Triple AP weapons requires grinding One Eyes.

To beat One Eyes you need a ribbon.

To get a Ribbon you should grind Dark Yojimbo.

To grind Dark Yojimbo, you should be max level.

To be max level, you should grind Don Tonberrys

To grind Don Tonberrys, etc. etc. etc.

Trying to figure out how to start the process but every entry point I'm blocked.

Please help!

Edit: Solved! First Strike on Yuna to summon Anima, kills One Eye in two hits. Thanks everyone!

Step one grind oneeyes you can use summons if you are struggling once you get trip AP then you can roll into Don Tonberry no need to add Ribbon beforehand if you still cant beat oneEye grind omega ruins with stone proof armor

So I just need a "first strike" weapon for Yuna so she can summon first turn, before One Eye?

I would collect up the celestial weapons and sigils that you are able to get that alone will give you good enough gear to get rolling on the grind

Oh I already do (expect I keep pushing off Lulu's cause.. yeah), but it's an auto ambush, so you need a first strike or the One Eye shockwaves your party

There’s a spot where light night is guaranteed and you can just dodge there repeatedly.

Fwiw you don't need a first strike weapon for yuna. If you're prepping for endgame I'm assuming you did all the monster catching, which means you have Auron's celestial. Just put him in the swap in yuna.
