Acquiring Experience
How do my characters gain spells and abilities through experience?

After defeating an enemy or boss, your party will acquire experience based on the amount of damage they inflicted on a vanquished monster. As your character increases their experience level, they obtain new spells and abilities. Spells and abilities are acquired in a specific order, each new spell and ability powerful than the last, based on the Job the character is assigned to.

 Battle Strategy
This boss is pretty tough, he has powerful attacks and has a lot of HP. Watch for him to use his Earth Shaker attack, which will cause around 500 HP of damage to every character, and there is very little that you can do about that, except try to keep your HP up. Have Knights, Monks, Dragoons, Samurai, etc. attack regularly and have magic users cast their most powerful magics and Charming him does not work. Also when you defeat Titan, he will use his Earth Shaker attack, so make sure you have enough HP to stay alive.

 Battle Strategy
This battle will be very tough. Magic is a definite must in this battle as you will need to take out all 6 of them before they use their Explode attack. This attack is variable because depending on how much HP they have left will determine the bang of the attack, so if you can knock them down to about 20 HP it won't matter if they explode. But use TITAN, and the match will end quick, very quick, so quick that the battles lasts quicker than those international basketball games with the Dreamteam, Ha! Ha! Ha! They will counter with a CURE2 after the TITAN attack, but the attack is just far more powerful than the CURE2 spell can handle so after only two, count 'em, two TITAN summons can give you a very easy victory! Don't worry about them reviving each other because they can only revive dead Puroboros, and they can only use it once to their limited HP.

This boss fight should be fairly easy. Attack him as usual with constant attacks from the Knight, Dragoon, etc. And have a Summon cast TITAN throughout the battle and keep your HP above 350, otherwise the AQUABREATH attack will get your party. You can also learn AQUABREATH if you have a Blue Wizard or the Learning ability available during battle.

This battle is pretty tough and as you can expect Butz is fighting alone. It does not matter if you win this battle or not because you will be taken away anyways. But if you want to beat him, attack regularly and if you have X- Fight, this fight should be a breeze. A Dragoon would be nice for this battle since he can continuously JUMP, and also keep using strong magics and such and he should be gone.

Here this battle is pretty easy, if you have a Ninja and two Cresents this battle should breeze buy like that! Gilgamesh does a lot of damage with his attacks, so you will have a much better chance of winning while keeping Galuf in the back row. Use any strong magic you may have and attack normally and keep your HP above 250 in the front row and keep your HP up above 100 in the backrow depending on your armor.

Big Bridge
 Battle Strategy
In this battle what you want to do is steal from him so that you may acquire the one of the strongest armor in the game, Genji. You will only be able to steal one form of Genji equipment and once you miss the chance you will never have the chance to steal that certain type of Genji armor again, so make sure you do. Have the party attack as normal with all magic users using TITAN, BOLT2, ICE2, etc. And have the armored people and Monks and Samurai and Ninjas attack regularly. When you lose him about 2000 HP, he will set up FAST, SAFE, and SHELL on himself which will make the battle a lot tougher, continue with your regular attacks if he does that and keep pounding on him and keep your party's HP up around 400, otherwise he can knock you out with his GaleCut attack.

There was a reason why the FENIXDOWN was in this room. Use it on the Tyrasauras and the battle will be won like that. If you are out of FENIXDOWNs then attack regularly and use constant FIRE spells like Ifrit or FIRE2, or even use the Sword magic technique. There are seldom occasions where it will attack with damage ranging in the 2300 HP area, so watch for that. Constantly attack and use FIRE to put it to rest

This battle should be a breeze if you have the Golem esper with you. Just cast Golem at the beginning of the battle and attack with TITAN and other powerful magics. Have all other non-magic related people attack normally. The Golem in this battle will take all the hits for you so no need to worry.

 Battle Strategy
This fight is the same as all the other fights you've had with Gilgamesh, just keep pounding him with regular attacks and such with strong magic and keep your HP around 350. Later in the battle Enkidou will come and heal all of Gilgamesh's wounds, making the battle even tougher. If you have GOLEM then the battle shifts HEAVILY to your side since the GOLEM can withstand about 5000 HP of damage, which should last longer than the battle. Attack Endikou first and then Gilgamesh, as Gilgamesh thinks Endikou is still alive he decides to leave the rest to him, but Endikou has been defeated and he runs off as well! If you have the STEAL command make sure to steal the GENJI accessory from Gilgamesh as well.

 Battle Strategy
This fight will be pretty tough since Atomos has an absurd amount of HP. If you have the BLOODSWD along with X-Fight, this fight should be a breeze. Atomos will occasionally cast COMET, which is more than likely to knock out any character and sometimes when you revive a character, heck EVERYTIME you revive a character he will counter with COMET, so make sure one of your weak characters die and then don't bother to bring them back to life, heh heh. A downed character will be sucked into the wormhole in Atomos, although I've never been sucked in I think it just means the character cannot be used for the battle once its sucked in. Also attack with TITAN and other strong magic, but the X-Fight with the BLOODSWD really gets the battle going to your favor here because it can absorb about 1300 HP from Atomos with each attack! Also if you have the GREATSWD from earlier in your inventory you might want to throw it if you have a Ninja since it causes near 1500 HP of damage to Atomos.

Moore Forest
 Battle Strategy
This battle will be very tough. Each one of them has an elemental weakness along with an elemental strength. What I suggest you do is use TITAN until three of them dies, while one of them might absorb the TITAN summon, at least you can take out 3 of them. They will often use FIRE3 and AERO to damage you and it will hurt, most likely knocking your party out. And watch for the Aquabreath, it will do serious damage as well, and there is very little that you can do about it. Having a Knight with X-FIGHT and the BLOODSWD really makes the battle a lot easier, but still a very tough battle. The bottom one is strong against EARTH attacks, the one at the left is strong against ICE attacks. The one on the right is strong against THUNDER/ICE attacks. The one at the top is strong against FIRE attacks. I don't think either one of them has an apparent weakness. Your best bet is to take one of them at a time, while having someone summon TITAN concentrate all of your other attacks on one seal. NOTE: The TITAN is really effective if you are wearing the EARTH vest because it will double the damage of the TITAN attack. Basically in this battle cast FIRE3 to every Seal except for the top one because you can deal 1500 HP of damage with it. Also casting GOLEM is a MUST in this battle.

This battle will be pretty tough. Make sure not to use magic on him otherwise it will be reflected. Cast a WALL on any one of your other party members and have the magic reflect off that party member to deal damage to Carbunkle. He cannot reflect Summon magic obviously, so feel free to use IFRIT, but using TITAN won't work for some odd reason. QUIET also works on Carbunkle as well so you can at least keep him from using magic for one round. He will occasionally use BREAK twice in a row and DEATH as well, so revive your party members as quick as possible.

This fight is somewhat hard, don't forget to steal a HIPOTION from Gilgamesh, yes that's right no Genji equipment this time. Keep pounding on him with your strongest attacks, when you lose him 12,000 HP he will change form and when you lose him 16,000 he will use the EXCALIBUR but it does pitiful damage against the party. When you lose him about 20,000 HP Exdeath is tired of his imcompetence and sends him to the Cleft of Dimension. Also keep a GOLEM up so you don't have to worry about Gilgamesh's physical attacks. Also wait until he morphs if you want a GENJI HELMET, steal it from him when he morphs.

This battle will be pretty tough, he will CONDEMN one of your party members giving him 30 seconds before death. Revive that character immediately and use all of your strong attacks and cast GOLEM as well. Also if you have the Throw command, throw the EXCALIPUR at Exdeath which will deal about 3500 HP of damage to him! Watch for him to use his Dynamo, its not much but it completely rearranges your party member's row positions so all front row people are going to be in the backrow and vice versa. Immediately switch back to your rows once he has done that because it can seriously affect your performance in this battle. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AT LEAST ONE KNIGHT! Have him use X-Fight if you have it and equip him with the BLOODSWD, and also have him equip the ICESHLD. Exdeath will use FIRE3 and ICE3 in succession, this means that his FIRE3 attack will be useless as you will absorb his ICE3 attack. You can absorb as much as 1600 HP from Exdeath every round!

This boss is fairly hard, but very beatable. Attack him with your best attacks and pound him with everything you've got to make this battle go by quicker. He's not that hard. Also if you have X-Fight along with the Bothhand ability this fight goes by in just three rounds with a single character! You can attack up to 8 times in a single round! But its only optional.

This battle will be pretty tough. She constantly changes barriers every so often and changes weaknesses and strengths. Your best bet is to hit her with anything not elemental like BIO or use your physical attacks because they seem to work pretty well. Keep your party's HP up and watch for her to use strong spells like FIRE3 or ICE3, so make sure at least one of your party members has a FLAME or ICE shield equipped. Watch for what kind of attack she does, if she does a FIRE attack use ICE or vice versa. Keep pounding on her until she's toast.
