Back when FFX first released and Gamefaqs was the only resource available, someone mentioned that in certain areas the lightning strikes to the beat of the music. 12 year old me basically somehow found the spot and then closed my eyes and did this essentially blind for 25 minutes straight, when I went back and obtained the Venus sigil, I felt like a literal god. One of my proudest gamer moments ever. This game has some seriously sadistic challenges.

Here in 2024 this helped and got me to get 200. I decided to do 25-50 at a time and then take a small break (water, bathroom, etc.) each time to allow myself to chill. Eventually I did 30 more afterwards to be sure and I realize that it was a lot easier when I realized that I already did all that I needed to do for 200.

I always used a different method, it does not make it as trivial as yours but it can be done the _first_ time through the Thunder Plains. The biggest problem with the minigame is Tidas' movement. Whether he dodges or evades a strike he is thrown downwards to the south which will eventually put him under cover or right out of the plains. To counter this you need to make him move northwards every so often which in turn adds random battles to the mix. *However,* just to the east of the golden zone from the 'easy' method is an area of the minimap where it hooks around the edge. Standing in here means that Tidas is against a southern edge and can't get thrown further. Without worrying about movement you can just concentrate on the flashes, pause the game after every 10 or 20 to take a break. This is what I _used_ to use though, I've been unable to recreate it on the remaster because I just can't get the very slightly different timing involved.

I also remember this was the one game I had to take breaks on cuz it gave me motion sickness.

I found a place that consistently strikes twice, but it’s a bit tricky to get the timing right. I’m having issues right now because the wireless controllers on the ps5/4 and switch have the slightest lag that never occurred while using a wired controller. I’ve dodged 200 bolts on ps2 and pc no problem, even switch will work if you attach the controllers to the actual switch. But if you use any wireless options and hit dodge at the correct time, you get blasted. You have to hit the button before the lightning appears making this much, MUCH harder.

The one time I did this legit in on the xbox series S as it has no way to use a save game editor unlike PC and PSx. I used this exact same spot, when previously I had no chance, however it still wasnt easy, I failed many times, mostly due to the pressure building up the further I got, my successful attempt was when keeping myself distracted by listening to a F1 race whilst doing it, I ended up with nearly 400 in a row, my total dodges to give you an idea of the attempts needed was over 1200. So done this once, never again. Horrible minigame. Also to note on the series s, there is so much input lag, that if you try to press when it flashes its usually too late, so this method is kind of actually required as it involves you pressing before it flashes.

This is good advice for this but just to mention in the arena the battles between fiends cost gil. I would recommend to use that to my advantage to capture 10 of each fiend in the area. So if you are low on gil that would be a problem so if you are you are forced to go to that area and grind for it. I think there is 3 crater positions around the thunder plains and the one that you used is the same one I do. It is best to just get used to the movements and repetitively do that movement for 15-20 minutes. People recommend not counting and doing it for 15-20 minutes its also best not to use sound at all. Do not put on some music because that can mess you up with the movement and possibly struck by lightning. Is that other end of your position a safe zone? I didn't think of that before also if you get too bored or something. Just push the pause button but still beware the thunder as it still can hit you but this helps for breaks. Another thing that I would like to mention is that if you did 200 dodges at least for me you don't have to dodge lightning on the way back apparently. I got hit on the way back and I got the sigil I didn't think it worked but it did.

If you have problems with anxiety/counting... skip it... do the "repeated" activity shown in the video (or something you can repeat comfortably 200+ times) for 28 minutes, taking small breaks to restore comfortability/blood pressure to homeostasis. You will get the achievement if you can do these steps. (283 was my attempt) Drink water, turn off phone, send family/pets away for the time period... the focus might become intense, but (28) is a small time frame if you MAKE NO MISTAKES... so invest in it one time. I did this before Mt Gagazet... and I will not try it in the future... get my point.

Timed button pressing of any kind is absolutely not my thing. *EDIT- After a good hour or so, I FINALLY was able to dodge all 200, getting the trophy, and then the Platinum one. I bet if I could add up all my dodges that were failed attempts, its probably a good 5000, maybe way more times. Glad to finally get that finished and move on. I always replay FF10 every few years, and try the lighting thing every time, but for now on, I'm skipping that part....sorry Lulu, you don't really need an ultimate weapon anyways.

These minigames are why I didn't replay FFX very much. Probably 15 FF7 playthroughs for 1 FFX. Sad because this is my favorite game. Just everything was perfect for me...except the tortuous minigames and celestial being locked behind nonsense. The lightning strikes one is the perfect example of why cheat devices should be allowed on single player games. Imagine if Lulu was your favorite character and you simply were not capable of pulling this off. Maybe your reflexes are bad. Maybe you're handicapped. Maybe the game has awful input lag. etc. Oh well. I did it once I will never do it again. I would rather grind for 10 hours to make an ultimate weapon than Lulu or Kimarhi's nonsense. Putting a trophy on this is more diabolical than some of the old Tales series trophies. _shudders from Tales ptsd_
