Learn how to defeat the Bunyip in Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster. Get tips on its weaknesses, drops, and best strategies for this armored fiend.

Alright, let's talk about the Bunyip! You'll run into these guys on the Djose Highroad and the Moonflow. They're armored fiends, which means they've got some serious magic defense. To take 'em down, you'll want to bring characters like Auron or Kimahri, especially if their weapons have the Piercing ability. Their attacks can inflict Slow, so keep an eye on that status effect. Sometimes, they'll focus on Auron, or if he's not around, they'll target whoever has the lowest HP. Just be ready for that!

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • HP: 400 (600 for Overkill)
  • AP: 48
  • Weaknesses: Ice, Water
  • Resistances: Nothing listed as strong against it, but high magic defense means physical is better.

Item Drops:

  • Common Drop: Power Sphere (x1)
  • Rare Drop: Power Sphere (x1)
  • Common Steal: Hi-Potion
  • Rare Steal: Hypello Potion

Strategy:

  • Since they have high magic defense, focus on physical attacks. Characters like Auron and Kimahri are great choices, especially if their weapons have the Piercing ability.
  • Be prepared for their attacks to inflict Slow. Have a way to cure it or just be ready to deal with slower turns.
  • Keep an eye on who they're targeting. If Auron is in the party, they might focus on him. Otherwise, they'll go after the character with the lowest HP. Adjust your party or strategy accordingly.
  • Exploit their weakness to Ice and Water if you have characters or abilities that can use them effectively, though physical attacks are generally more reliable against their armor.
