Normal: "A spider that spits a debilitating web onto its prey before striking. If victory seems out of reach, you'd best run while you still can."
Oversoul: "A fiend that extensively uses magic now that it's oversouled. Its nastiest ability involves gil. Bank on crying all the way home after this one."

Aranea is an enemy in Final Fantasy X-2 first encountered as a boss on floor 20 of Via Infinito. It was once Wen Kinoc. Beyond floor 81 it starts appearing in random encounters.

StrategyEdit

The boss can inflict Stop on all party members simultaneously. His attacks aren't strong, but the Stop effect lasts for about five turns. His strongest attack when he is Oversouled and eats up a girl and spits them out.

Aranea is the easiest of the Via Infinito guardians; a Dark Knight's Darkness ability is useful and having an Alchemist healing is also a good idea.

Gooey End.

ColiseumEdit

To enter the Aeon Cup in the Coliseum, the player must capture and raise the story levels of eight special creatures. These creatures will immediately be available to be released upon capture, however, what the player has to do is raise their story levels by three and then release them. This will change that particular creature into an aeon. Aranea is one of these eight creatures, capable of being changed into Anima.

EtymologyEdit

Aranea is the name of a genus of orb-weaver spiders, but the more likely origin for the name in the context of an RPG is the longstanding Dungeons and Dragons intelligent shapechanging spider race of that name.
