Boss Battle: Oblitzerator
Tidus will mention at the start of this battle that there's a crane you can use. His trigger command is "Use crane" so to start off the battle, do so. It won't work. Lulu will comment on it being out of power. Hint anyone? If you attempt to use it three times then Tidus will basically tell you what you have to do — use Thunder on it three times to power it back up. This is the easy way of fighting this battle — there's a harder one.
The Oblitzerator's main attack is Blitzball Rush, which is 8 or so random hits on your part for about 35 damage apiece. It's weak to thunder, but it'll counter magic with Mute Ball which inflicts 100 damage and Silence, and it'll counter physical attacks with Blind Ball which inflicts 100 damage and Darkness. Soon you'll realise that your entire party can't do anything. Before this happens, just use Thunder on the crane three times and then have Tidus use his trigger command again. The crane will hover over the Oblitzerator, then…wrench it in half. This will deal a little over 90% of its remaining health to it, and now it can't attack you or counter anything. Finish it off to save Yuna! After you properly regain control of Tidus just follow the red arrow back to the Aurochs' locker room. After a sequence, you'll be right in the fray with your first Blitzball game!
