How to Get Dark Matter in Final Fantasy X
"Final Fantasy X" is a fantasy role-playing game for the PlayStation 2 console. The game contains hundreds of weapons, armors and other items that can help the player increase the power of the game's heroes. One of the rarest items in the game is dark matter. Getting dark matter requires playing through a significant amount of the game and powering up your characters enough to defeat special bosses in the monster arena located in the Calm Lands area.

1
Play through "Final Fantasy X" until you can access the monster arena at the east end of the Calm Lands and have use of the airship.

2
Purchase weapons with the "capture" ability from the merchant at the monster arena and equip them on your main melee characters. Tidus, Wakka and Auron are good candidates for capture weapons.

Travel to different areas of the game and battle monsters using the characters with capture weapons equipped to score killing blows. If you score a killing blow with a weapon that has the capture ability, the monster will be sent to the monster arena.

4
Capture enough different monsters to unlock special bosses at the monster arena. Unlocking bosses typically requires capturing at least one of each monster from a given area, or a certain number of each monster of a certain monster class. For instance, if you capture three of each type of flan creature that exists in the game, you will unlock the jumbo flan boss.

5
Battle the boss monsters you unlock at the monster arena repeatedly to find dark matter. Every special boss monster at the monster arena has the potential to leave behind dark matter when defeated, but the drop rate is rare. It may take 10 or more tries before a boss will drop dark matter.

Tips & Warnings
60 dark matters can be used to add the attribute "break damage limit" to a weapon, which will allow a character using the weapon to deal up to 99,999 damage.
Dark matter can also be gained from using the bribe skill on the land worm creature. This takes a tremendous amount of gil, and the drop rate is low.
Killing a special boss with an overkill blow will cause it to drop twice as much dark matter.
If you manage to capture five of every creature in the game, the monster arena trainer will give you 99 dark matter. Tthis can take a very long time, but if you need a lot of dark matter, it might be faster than fighting bosses repeatedly.
