LP: 8
Steal: Potion
Weak: Water
Special: Bushfire (Added Effect: Poison)
Location: Garamsythe Waterway
Tactics: The actual boss! Have Vaan to attack Firemane with Amalia. Fran should stick on healing while Balthier alternate heal, cure Poison and attack. Since Fran and Balthier are long-ranged character, they will not be hit by Bushfire, so have Fran heal Amalia and Vaan, Balthier cures Poison. This is not hard if you're on fine level.

Level: 8 6 7
LP: 2 2 2
Steal: Potion 5 Gil Dark Mote
Weak: Fire Fire Fire
Special: None None None
Location: Nalbina Dungeon

Enemy: Mimic Queen Tiny Battery A and B Tiny Battery C and D
HP: 4073 120 120
Level: 10 7 6
LP: 8 1 1
Steal: Knot of Rust Pebble Pebble
Weak: Ice Ice Ice
Special: Shockstorm, Groundshaker None None
Location: Barheim Passage
Tactics: When the battle starts, you should have all of your party member kill every Tiny Battery bar one - if you kill them all, Mimic Queen will generate more of the suckers. Then, focus on Mimic Queen. Have Fran spam Cure on critical member. Basch and Balthier should focus on Mimic Queen while Vaan keep casting Blizzard on those Tiny Batteries the Mimic Queen breed. You could also ask your party member to use Blizzard on Mimic Queen whenever they have a free time. This boss started to get wilder when he got low on HP, and use his special power often, so, have Balthier to join Fran healing party member if needed. Vaan should keep a close eye on the Batteries. If you run out of MP (For healing), use Potion.


Enemy: Ba'Gamnan Bwagi Rinok Gijuk
HP: 3983 1593 1745 1650
Level: 12 11 11 11
LP: 6 5 5 5
Steal: Potion Potion Potion Potion
Weak: Water Water Water Water
Special: Water Spout None None none
Location: Lhusu Mines
Tactics: Run away! That's what the game asks you to do. But if you insist on fighting... you need to be at least level 13 and at least have one Quickening on at least two people. Buy a lot of potions and phoenix downs. Always have Balthier in this fight; he has a permanent Decoy for this fight. So Fran or Vaan should keep healing him while Basch and Balthier focus on the enemies. At the start of the battle start with a Quickening, chain 3-5 Quickening and that should kill all his crew and leaves Ba'Gamnan in low HP, and then strike him to death. If you still can't beat him, use the mines as a training place and as well as a gil-earning place.


Enemy: Judge A Judge B Imperial Swordsman A and C Imperial Swordsman B Imperial Magus
HP: 2245 2445 430 430 384

LP: 7 7 1 1 1
Steal: Potion Potion Potion Potion Dark Mote
Weak: None None None None None
Special: None None None None None
Location: Dreadnought Leviathan
Tactics: If you want an easy fight, then go and beat the two Judges. If you want some challenge, start by killing the Imperial Magus, his magicks hurt, kill him first! Then, focus on the soldiers. All three of your party member should team-up and beat them one by one. Of course, you need to heal when needed, Vaan or Fran should fit that role fine. After that, beat the Judges one by one, they are not too hard if you keep a close eye on your HP.


Enemy: Judge Ghis Imperial Swordsman A Imperial Swordsman B and C
HP: 2500 615 615
Level: 14 12 11
LP: 3 1 1
Steal: Potion Potion Potion
Weak: None None None
Special: Aero None None
Location: Dreadnought Leviathan
Tactics: Ha! Bad Boss, first, kill all of his boys. Assign someone to heal with Cure (Ashe or Penelo recommended), then attack Judge Ghis. Beware of his special magick, Aero, everyone should have a Cure Gambit so that it can be cast to heal you. Ashe will always be the target of Judge Ghis, so have she to cure herself. Strike, strike, strike and he's dead. You can also use quickening, which 1 hit should kill him already.


Enemy: Garuda
HP: 6379
Level: 16
LP: 10
Steal: Gold Needle
Weak: Dark, Eksir Berries
Special: Enrage
Location: Tomb of Raithwall
Tactics: Use the magick, Dark, it takes a lot of HP out of him, this boss can still be dangerous if you don't use Eksir Berries. Be sure to heal when needed. Keep spamming Dark and heal when needed, he's dead.


Enemy: Demon Wall (First)
HP: 22304
Level: 16
LP: 30
Steal: Solid Stone
Weak: Holy
Special: Telega
Location: Tomb of Raithwall
Tactics: You shouldn't fight this boss, run. BUT! If you want to fight, have every character pass level 20, all come with at least one Quickening, good equipment, activate some good augmentation node. At the beginning of the fight, he'll cat Telega, you need to ready a reserve for this, just keep attacking him with your main three party members until he lost ¼ of his HP, then take your reserve in and have them release their Quickening, make 6-7 chains (9 chains is wonderful, because it kills him already!), take your main party member back and slash him until he's dead. Go earn your Demonsbane. This is optional, actually, but I'm sarcastic, so I put it here.


Enemy: Demon Wall (Second)
HP: 8489
Level: 16
LP: 9
Steal: Solid Stone
Weak: Holy
Special: Telega
Location: Tomb of Raithwall
Tactics: First, have your party leader to lit-off the fire altar (More like a big pot) and this should stop the movement of him, attack him! Unlike the first Demon Wall, he uses Telega when he's critical, so you just need to ready a reserve. Heal when needed and strike him. Quickening chains own this fight.


Enemy: Belias
HP: 1342
Level: 20
LP: 15
Steal: Aries Gem
Weak: Water
Special: Firaja
Location: Tomb of Raithwall
Tactics: Have someone with great magic (Ashe or Penelo) to spam Water, or you could also have all of your character spam Water at once. But you need to have someone to cure Oil and spam Cure/Cura. Assign someone to that job and go kick his ass, his best move, Firaja shouldn't be a problem to you if you keep healing and striking at the same time.


Enemy: Vossler Imperial Swordsman A and B Imperial Swordsman C
HP: 9613 845 845
Level: 20 18 17
LP: 15 1 1
Steal: Black Belt Potion Potion
Weak: None None None
Special: None None None
Location: Light Cruiser Class Airship Shiva
Tactics: First, kill all of his buddies. Next, have Basch in the fight so, he will be the main target of Vossler, heal when needed and slash him to death.


Enemy: Tiamat
HP: 47870
Level: 25
LP: 15
Steal: Hi-Potion
Weak: Water
Special: Breath, Disablega
Location: The Henne Mines
Tactics: HARD. That word pretty much resembles this fight. First, have all of your character with level more than 25. Don't bother with Quickening, waste of your MP, Larsa's infinite Hi-Potion kinda saves you from a terrible Game Over. Protect Larsa with Decoy. Overall, just slash, slash, slash, thrust, heal, give finishing touch to him. This battle is long, rest when you're tired.


Enemy: Elder Wyrm Treant A and B
HP: 67939 4274
Level: 27 23
LP: 16 1
Steal: Feystone Lumber
Weak: Wind Wind
Special: Sporefall None
Location: The Golmore Jungle
Tactics: ANOTHER HARD FIGHT. Eliminate all the two Treants with Aero and this Elder Wyrm is weak against Wind, hopefully it hurts him. You must have a long-ranged character in this fight, and put him/her away from the other three. Protect Larsa again and hurt him with Aero. Everytime you got hit by Sporefall, make the long-ranged character your leader and heal one character, that character will heal the others, send the long-ranged character back far, from the wyrm. Esuna, Cura and Decoy is very important, use them when needed.


Enemy: Vinuskar
HP: 16048
Level: 27
LP: 19
Steal: Knot of Rust
Weak: Wind, Holy
Special: Magnetic Field, Sword Dance
Location: Stilshrine of Miriam
Tactics: This boss is a cake if you don't have heavy equipments on your party. Still, if you have heavy equipment, release your Quickening and beat him. Eitherway, he's way too easy, kill him.


Enemy: Mateus Ice Azer A - E
HP: 50000 2708
Level: 30 ???
LP: 25 1
Steal: Pisces Gem, Ether Ice Magicite
Weak: Lightning Lightning
Special: Blizzaja None
Location: Stilshrine of Miriam
Tactics: First, eliminate the Ice Azer with Thundara or Quickening, Quickening is preferable because it damages Mateus badly! After Ice Azer is defeated, use Charge to recover some MP (For Quickening user), Keep hitting him with Thundara or physical attack. Blizzaja do pack some punch but you have Cura! Heal when needed and blast him to death. Mateus is a guy.


Enemy: Judge Bergan Judge A and B Judge C
HP: 15827 3179 3179
Level: 30 28 29
LP: 20 1 1
Steal: Hi-Potion Potion Potion
Weak: None None None
Special: None None None
Location: Mt. Bur-Omisace (Destroyed)
Tactics: Easy. Go to the Judge and unleash Quickening chains which can kill him. But you want the hard way? Beat all the judges at your back, heal because they have give decent damage and Bergan likes to aid his servants, so after you beat the Judges, Bergan should be very easy. Hit, Thwack and he's dead.


Enemy: Ahriman
HP: 59261
Level: 38
LP: 28
Steal: Sky Jewel
Weak: Holy
Special: Divide
Location: The Sochen Cave Palace
Tactics: Another easy one, continue to attack him until he's critical which he divides himself, ignore his clone, just focus on Ahriman, he should be dead in no time. Heal Doom and other status effects if you can. Heal your character too.


Enemy: Doctor Cid Rook A-D
HP: 42048 10000
Level: 40 ???
LP: 27 5
Steal: Knot of Rust Knot of Rust
Weak: None None
Special: S-27 Tokamak None
Location: Draklor Laboratory
Tactics: You can't hurt Doctor Cid, so focus on the rooks, beat them one by one, and lastly, he's not immune to damage anymore, Silence him so that he couldn't buff himself with beneficial status. He's not too hard, just slash and heal when needed.


Enemy: Rafflesia
HP: 70198
Level: 43
LP: 31
Steal: Screamroot
Weak: Wind, Fire
Special: Pollen Dance, Cry For Help, MP Draining Field
Location: Feywood
Tactics: MP absorbed! BAD! Release quickening chains from all party members including reserves. Hopefully, it'll reduced ¼ of its HP, now just slash and use Potions/Hi-Potions/X-Potions when needed. He'll call Malboros, you can choose to beat them but focusing on defeating Rafflesia is better. Go on, slash and win.


Enemy: Daedelus
HP: 68822
Level: 42
LP: 35
Steal: Dark Crystal
Weak: Holy
Special: Rage, Smite of Rage
Location: Ancient City of Giruvegan

Level: 43
LP: 33
Steal: Technick Sealed!
Weak: Ice
Special: Piercing Graviga, Technick Sealed Field
Location: Ancient City of Giruvegan

Level: 45
LP: 47
Steal: Sagittarius Gem
Weak: None
Special: Shock, Flare, Silencega

Level: 47
LP: 35
Steal: Maggoty Flesh
Weak: Healing Items/Magicks
Special: Curse
Location: Pharos at Ridorana (Entrance)
Tactics: Long Fight! Use Remedy/Vaccine to cure Poison and Disease. This boss is undead, but you can't Elixir/Phoenix Down/Raise/Arise him, you can Curaga/Curaja/X-Potion him. Just keep healing with one character and assign someone to use Vaccine/Remedy, the last one should attack along with Reddas.


Enemy: Pandaemonium
HP: 103115
Level: 45
LP: 36
Steal: Aries Gem
Weak: Wind
Special: Perfect Defense
Location: Pharos at Ridorana - First Ascent - Horizon of First Light

Location: Pharos at Ridorana - Second Ascent - Reach of Diamond Law
Tactics: If you choose to seal items/maps, then first dispel him, use Curaga/Curaja when needed and keep hitting him until he's dead, he do pack some punch but he's easy.

Attack and heal using items when needed.


Enemy: Hashmal
HP: 224850
Level: 50
LP: 68
Steal: Leo Gem
Weak: Wind
Special: Quakeja
Location: Pharos at Ridorana - Third Ascent - Mete of Dynasty
