Zu

Opening of the battle against a Zu in the Monster Arena Calm Lands

HP: 18,000

The first enemy that you encounter in Bikanel will be a Zu that Tidus will start off battling all by himself.

Zu is fairly large and appears intimidating, but it is very easy to defeat. It has a predictable attack pattern that won’t do too much damage to your party members, and it will drop to the ground once it falls to 13 of its HP. Have Wakka use Skill IconDark Attack or Skill IconDark Buster to inflict the Darkness status effect and greatly reduce the amount of damage that it does.

Ability Description
Ability IconSensor “Watch out for Sonic Boom when wings glow.”
Special Ability IconScan “High AP. Aerial, but so big that it’s easy to hit. Its wings will start flashing the turn before it unleashes Sonic Boom. Use Dark Buster and strong attacks, or else…”

Steal:
Use Item IconSmoke Bomb (x3) (common)
Use Item IconSmoke Bomb (x4) (rare)

Drops:
Red Sphere Item IconPower Sphere and Purple Vial Item IconAl Bhed Potion

Location

You can find them anywhere on Bikanel Island, but the best place to find them is to head back to the sign that says “weak enemies to the right, strong enemies to the left” (in Al Bhed) and head to the left.
