How to unlock the FFX-2: Founder achievement

    Trema is on Floor 100 of Via Infinito. You will fight Paragon and Trema back-to-back with no chance to save between, so you need to be prepared. Once you reach the 100th floor, immediately teleport and save before the fight. You can come straight back again.

    My party: three maxed out Mascots on the Higher Power garment grid, Paine and Yuna with Crystal Bangles and Adamantite (or whatever else strengthens your defense) and Rikku with Cat's Nip and Rabite's Foot. Make sure you have a full supply of phoenix downs.

    You will get a Cat's Nip from beating one of the earlier bosses in Via Infinito. You can get a Rabite's Foot by beating Jumbo Cactuar. Adamantite is available in the Gunner's Gauntlet as the top prize. You can get another with the Fiend Tales starting with the Killer Hound in Fiend Arena.

    If you don't have good defensive equipment, you could use the Valiant Lustre grid instead. Put Yuna and Paine through the grid as quickly as you can to beef up both physical and magical defense. It's unnecessary with Rikku because we need her to die. Just remember to put Yuna and Paine through the grid again when the Trema fight starts.

    The easiest way I've found to handle this fight is to first oversoul Paragon. He is very easy to beat this way because he spends most of his time attacking your people one at a time. Once Rikku goes down, bring her back with a phoenix down so that she's in critical health. The Cat's Nip will berserk her, and she will hit for 9999 every turn.

    Once Paragon goes down, then it's Trema's turn, and this fight is all about staying alive. Have Yuna and Paine heal each other and phoenix down Rikku whenever she goes down so that her health stays in the yellow. Now just let her kill him. The Rabite's Foot will ensure that she hits him (without it, she misses most of the time); it also seems to make her the target less often.

    Trema has a million HP (literally). You can tell how you're doing by his attacks. When he uses Meteor, you've knocked him down by half. He'll use it again at 250K. When he casts Ultima, you're almost there.

    Ostrowidzki1989For trema, I changed rikku into a thief with rabite's foot and cat nip.

    For Yuna, I kept her as a mascot with adamantite from lvl max gunners gauntlet and ragnorok from miihen high road accusing rikku for the machina going crazy.

    For paine, I kep her as a mascot and equipped 2 chrystal gloves which brought her to max physical defense.

    With ragnorok on yuna, she can just cast moogle curaja if your health dips down a bit, but I waited till rikku was down so she didn't get healed, then used Phoenix down right after. When yuna was around full health, I just had her keep casting moogle beam and kept having paine cast cactuar cactling.

    The garment grid you get from getting the amazing chocobo lets yuna break hp limit normally which I would say is essential. Just try and keep it around near max health (dipping around 10k could get dangerous if he casts ultima and meteor).

    That way, the fight took less than 10 minutes and was honestly a breeze. I had no struggle at all; was pretty simple. I used like 15 Phoenix downs on rikku in total.

    metallicafan459Guide probably needs more information on how to get a Rabbits Foot. I’ve just tried a few battles but missed 99/100 out of attacks. Those that did land hit for a massive 2-300 damage :(

    metallicafan459Ok I just did this without using a Rabbits Foot.

    I was around level 78 too.

    I had Yuna and Paine as Mascots on the Higher Power Grid. Neither had the Ribbon Ability, but Paine had Cactling Gun.

    Rikku was using the Ray Of Hope Garment Grid (Luck +30) which I filled with a Thief, Mascot and all the dresspheres with high health - Berserker, Dark Knight etc (doesn’t matter too much).

    Yuna had Adamantite and Crystal Bangle equipped.

    Paine has Crystal Bangle and a Crystal Gloves

    Rikku had Car Nip and Champion Belt.

    The strategy was to get Rikku through her grid ASAP to get the extra Luck +30 boost (key for Trema).

    For Paragon (which was oversouled) I left her as a thief after passing through all the gates, hitting for 2x9,999. To help get her into berserk state I had her attack herself.

    For Trema, you need to get a Rikku through the gates ASAP with Y&P on standby to revive. Her Defense and health was too weak as a thief for me so made sure she needed up as a mascot.

    I used a stamina tonic/tablet to to double health - Yuna was on about 32,000 with Paine at 22,000. Rikku kept dying so stayed at her 5,000 health.

    I’d use a mix of potions and hi-potions to try and keep a Rikku at the 1,800 health mark. Sometimes Trema would rather no one else and I’d just be spamming Phoenix downs :(

    I’d often use Paine for Cactling Gun to dish out 9,999 while Yuna kept using Cure to keep her health topped up. Occasionally I’d use an xpotion for a big health boost (especially after dropping a stamina tablet/tonic)

    Hope this helps someone!

    DueAshDid metallicafan459's strategy @ 99 but with a rabbit's foot for Rikku. Extremely easy. The Cactling Gun is a good idea because Rikku can still attack during its animation.

    Spartan BuckCreature Creator is very useful for this. First time I did it I had Paine, Anole, and a Yellow Elemental. The Anole was constantly spamming Darkness while the Yellow Elemental was spamming Ultima and Meteor, while I had Paine switch to Alchemist frequently just to keep the party alive.

    Ultramarine360here is my guide to paragon and trema back to back

    yrp - all mascot dressphere fully levelled to 99 with all mascot abilities unlocked esp ribbon, all on higher power gg (I never bothered using the gates on the gg to break damage limit, I just persevered doing 9999 damage with two and healing/support with the other)
    yuna - adamantite and oath veil
    rikku - crystal bangle and rabite's foot
    payne - ragnarok and oath veil

    yuna - spam a rotation of moogle beam, moogle jolt

    rikku- support. turbo ethers on yuna, mega potions on party and attacking when all is good

    payne - just cactling gun

    mega phoenix with yuna when needed if the rest are ko. Yuna is a beast with this setup and will not ko with support from rikku against genesis (paragon) or ultima and flare (trema)
