It is recommended that you have an Accuracy of at least 80, if not repeatedly cast Aim on yourself. Cast Hastega immediately at the beginning of the battle. Set your Overdrive Mode to Stoic (this is your best choice) Start attacking after that, use Tidus' Blitz Ace Overdrive and Wakka's Attack Reels. Dark Valefor uses Energy Ray first then immediately follows with Energy Blast once her overdrive gauge is full, so be sure to have Auto-Life active to save yourself from this.

Dark Ifrit

  • Location: Entrance to Al Bhed Home. A woman will ask you to help him find his daughter. Say yes and she'll ask you to look by the cliff.

It is recommended that all members of your battle party has Auto-Life and Hastega with them. This will be easy if you have the Fire Eater ability. Now, cast Hastega on yourself, then Auto-Life on all your party members. His physical attacks are pretty powerful so you should also have Protect, but even so you'll still die if your HP isn't high enough. If you have the Fire Eater ability, Meteorstrike will heal you instead of damage you. Recast Auto Life if necessary and continue attacking. Once his overdrive gauge is full, summon an aeon to block.
