Name

Dark Knight Dressphere

Description

The Dark Knight Dressphere is one of the strongest, with high HP and fiend destructiing abilities. A Dark Knight can use the death-infused powers of the Underworld to sacrifice 1/8 of her HP and damage all enemies using 'Darkness', or sacrifice her life completely using 'Charon' to cause huge damage against one enemy.
A Dark Knight is a fighter with a large array of abilities; she can choose to inflict Confusion, Petrification, Poison, Doom or even Death on an enemy; absorb an enemies HP for when it gets tricky; cause tremendous damage with 'Black Sky' or 'Charon'; protect herself from most status ailments with her automatic '-proofs' or simply destroy most enemies with her mighty attack.
Some argue that the Dark Knight is better than nearly all of the other Dresspheres, including the 'Warrior' Dressphere. Whether the Dark Knight is your favourite or not, it is definitely one worth obtaining, with her high statistics and damaging abilties, a Dark Knight is essential for many boss battles, so you'll benefit from having one permanently available for your party members to change into during battle.
Using 'Darkness' can help a lot when you are facing many enemies, the downside is the sacrifice of HP, although your Dark Knight cannot be KO'd by using this attack, her HP may end up so low that an enemy could deplete the last of her HP on it's next turn.
To help with her diminishing HP, a Dark Knight can use 'Drain' to absorb HP from an enemy, although this is not as effective as having a 'healer' type in your party, like a 'White Mage', it certainly helps during those sticky situations. Another of her abilities, is the 'Charon' ability that sacrifices her life to fatally injure an enemy, this is not recommended to be used frequently, as that character will be removed from your party for the rest of the battle and she will not gain any EXP if you win the battle, so it is only to be used as a last resort.
Remember to support you Dark Knight with her status '-proofs' abilities, an Accessory or Garment Grid that improves her low Agility or Evasion, and to have a variety of other party members, preferably including a 'White Mage', that work well together, having three Dark Knights, (no matter how tempting) in the same battle is not a good idea. ^.~

Location

Ok, this is fairly tricky, so listen up, at the end of Chapter 2, (after completeing your mission in Guadosalam) you'll need to head over to Bevelle to proceed with your game. I'm not going to go into detail about how to get into Bevelle, (this will be covered in our Walkthrough) so I'm going to go straight to getting the Dressphere.
After you have moved on from 'The Gaol' section of Bevelle, (that large room with all the machines inside that you enter after doing Bevelle's Security Core) Yuna will enter a corridor, there's a wall at the end of it, but you only need to approach it and it'll disappear. In this new section, there are three lifts, (you'll pretty much know how these work if you're already this far) step onto the small square ledge on the left to use the left lift.
You'll be taken to a new level, open the chest near you to gain a 'Hi-Potion' then move right down to the bottom of the screen and right to the southern edge of the platform to jump down, (don't worry, you won't get hurt ^.~) and land right back at the first level with the three lifts, only the lift you took before won't be there anymore, so it's only two lifts.
The large lift in the middle, (the wasn't working previously) can be used to reach a secret area, so head towards it and it'll take you to the hidden platform. Here you'll find a raised square with a glyph upon it. Climb onto the square and step onto the glyph to activate two pillars that rise in the next area with a Save Sphere.
Go back onto the large lift and ride back down, then go into the right lift to go back to the upper level. Once there, go straight across the level to the left and take the left lift, (that you used on the way up here the first time) and take it back to the first level. Now you should have the left lift and the large middle lift available to use, (the right lift is still on the upper level) so go back onto the middle lift and you'll go to a different secret ledge, if you did this right, it shouldn't be the one you visited before.
There will be another raised platform on this ledge, so climb onto it to activate it's glyph and raise the last two pillars in the next area. Use the large lift again and you'll be back at the first level. Ride the left lift back up to the next level and this time, you'll need to step onto the two raised blocks and activate the two glyphs. The first one should be to the right of you, in the centre of the upper level, while the second one is North of the first one, and near the last lift.
These two glyphs will activate the final lift by removing the platform that prevents it from working and forming a ledge so that you are able to access the lift. When you are sure you have done everything properly here, go onto the last lift that takes you to the area where you activated those four pillars. In this section, jump across the four pillars until you reach the one with a chest, open it to gain your well earned Dressphere!
The Dark Knight Dressphere is also attainable during Chapter 3 and 5; if you gave the 'Awesome Sphere' to New Yevon, the Bevelle Labyrinth can be entered at any point during Chapter 3; if you gave it to the Youth League, then you can only enter Bevelle after completing the Besaid and Kilika missions in Chapter 3, but it must be before completing Djose Temple and defeating the fiends there during Chapter 3; you can enter Bevelle at any point during Chapter 5, whether you supported the Youth League or New Yevon. Note that the directions given above can be used for all of these times.
