D. Mist
(Mist Dragon)
HP Str Def Mag MDef
465 16 5 10 31
Gil Exp Loot Type
200 700 None None
Weak: None
Resist: Poison, Silence, Mini, Petrification, Berserk, Sleep, Curse, Gradual Petrification, Blind, Piggy, Toad, Instant Death, Confusion, Paralysis.
Absorb: Holy
An easy enough fight, have Cecil attack and Kain Jump. When the message that the Dragon is changing to Mist, cease all attacks and wait for the opposing message before resuming.


Octomamm
(Octomammoth)
HP Str Def Mag MDef
2350 22 0 0 25
Gil Exp Loot Type
500 1200 None None
Weak: Lightning, Darkness
Resist: Poison, Silence, Mini, Petrification, Berserk, Sleep, Curse, Gradual Petrification, Blind, Piggy, Toad, Instant Death, Confusion, Paralysis.
Absorb: Holy
This fight is a lot easier than it looks. Have Cecil attack every turn, Rydia summon Chocobo and Tellah use Lit 1 (or Recall if you so choose). You shouldn't need to heal at all.


Antlion
HP Str Def Mag MDef
1100 11 3 0 11
Gil Exp Loot Type
800 1500 None None
Weak: None
Resist: Poison, Silence, Mini, Petrification, Berserk, Sleep, Curse, Gradual Petrification, Blind, Piggy, Toad, Instant Death, Confusion, Paralysis.
Absorb: None
Another fairly easy fight. Have Cecil attack, Rydia summon Chocobo, and Edward use Heal every turn, to cure the damage from the Antlion's counterattacks.


MomBomb
HP Str Def Mag MDef
11000 30 1 5 9
Gil Exp Loot Type
1200 1900 None None
Weak: Darkness
Resist: Poison, Silence, Mini, Petrification, Berserk, Sleep, Curse, Gradual Petrification, Blind, Piggy, Toad, Instant Death, Confusion, Paralysis.
Absorb: None
Finally, a difficult battle. Have Cecil and Edward attack, Yang use Power, Rosa use Aim, and Rydia summon Chocobo, until the MomBomb changes to its larger form. Have everyone defend until it explodes, doing about 75 damage to each party member. Have Edward use Heal, Rydia and Rosa both use Cure on the party, and Cecil and Yang using their multiple target attacks, Dark and Kick respectively.


Milon (Scarmiglione)
HP Str Def Mag MDef
3500 19 2 15 0
Gil Exp Loot Type
2000 3200 None None
Weak: None
Resist: Poison, Silence, Mini, Petrification, Berserk, Sleep, Curse, Gradual Petrification, Blind, Piggy, Toad, Instant Death, Confusion, Paralysis.
Absorb: None
Not especially hard, have Palom and Tellah take out the Revenants with Fire spells, whilst Cecil constantly attacks Milon. Keep Porom as the healer whilst you pummel on the first of the four Elementals.


Milon Z (Scarmiglione) [2nd Form]
HP Str Def Mag MDef
3523 46 1 31 22
Gil Exp Loot Type
2500 3600 None Undead
Weak: Fire, Holy, Throw
Resist: Poison, Silence, Mini, Petrification, Berserk, Sleep, Curse, Gradual Petrification, Blind, Piggy, Toad, Instant Death, Confusion, Paralysis.
Absorb: Ice
Hopefully you switched Row on everyone before getting into this fight, since Milon Z attacks you from behind. Have Cecil attack every turn, Palom use Fire2/Fira, Porom use Cure2/Cura offensively, whilst Tellah acts as healer. This is actually easier than the previous fight, I find.


Baigan
HP Str Def Mag MDef
4444 58 1 9 11
Gil Exp Loot Type
3000 4800 None None
Weak: None
Resist: Poison, Silence, Mini, Petrification, Berserk, Sleep, Curse, Gradual Petrification, Blind, Piggy, Toad, Instant Death, Confusion, Paralysis.
Absorb: None
This is quite a fun fight, I find. Start the fight with Tellah throwing Ice3/Blizzaga at Baigan's body, to do about 1800 damage. Baigan will respond by casting Wall/Reflect upon himself, but don't worry about that. Have Cecil and Yang attack every turn, whilst Palom uses Bluff repeatedly. Porom should serve as team healer whilst Tellah casts Wall/Reflect on any party member, and then have Palom throw his Bluffed up Venom/Bio, and Tellah's Ice3/Blizzaga at the Walled/Reflected party member to get a quick kill. However, the Wall/Reflect will only last for about three spells, so be careful. Be warned though, you need to take out the arms fast after Baigan dies, or they'll self-destruct, doing a large amount of damage.

Kainazzo (Cagnazzio)
HP Str Def Mag MDef
5312 44 2 29 48
Gil Exp Loot Type
4000 5000 None None
Weak: Lighting
Resist: Poison, Silence, Mini, Petrification, Berserk, Sleep, Curse, Gradual Petrification, Blind, Piggy, Toad, Instant Death, Confusion, Paralysis.
Absorb: None
A fairly easy fight, have Cecil and Yang (equipped with a Thunder Claw) attack every turn, Palom casting Lit2/Thundara, Tellah casting Lit3/Thundaga, and Porom serving as the party healer, though she won't be needed much. Striking Kainazzo with lightning whilst he's sucking up water for his Tsunami attack will dispel it, so he should never get to unleash his most powerful attack.


Dark Elf [1st Form]
HP Str Def Mag MDef
23890 18 0 1 254
Gil Exp Loot Type
4000 1000 None None
Weak: Holy
Resist: Poison, Silence, Mini, Petrification, Berserk, Sleep, Curse, Gradual Petrification, Blind, Piggy, Toad, Instant Death, Confusion, Paralysis.
Absorb: None
Thankfully, you don't actually need to do 23890 damage to this creep. Have Cecil, Yang and Cid all pile in their melee attacks, while Tellah serves as the team healer. It won't be long before the Dark Elf turns into...


Dark Dragon [2nd Form]
HP Str Def Mag MDef
3927 80 1 15 254
Gil Exp Loot Type
5000 6000 None Dragon
Weak: Holy
Resist: Poison, Silence, Mini, Petrification, Berserk, Sleep, Curse, Gradual Petrification, Blind, Piggy, Toad, Instant Death, Confusion, Paralysis.
Absorb: None
And this is where things get nasty. The tactics stay pretty much the same; Cecil, Yang and Cid all attacking, while Tellah heals, but it's the magnitude of damage that is massively increased here. Dark Breath will do about 200 damage to the entire party, whilst its physical attacks will do about 400 damage, so it's imperative that Tellah is used ONLY for healing, since this can go very badly, very quickly if not.


Sandy (Dog)
HP Str Def Mag MDef
2591 30 1 11 11
Gil Exp Loot Type
3000 2500 None Mage
Weak: None
Resist: Poison, Silence, Mini, Petrification, Berserk, Sleep, Curse, Gradual Petrification, Blind, Piggy, Toad, Instant Death, Confusion, Paralysis.
Absorb: None
To clarify, Sandy is the tall one, who likes to use status spells. Cindy is the fat one, who likes to physically attack, and heal/resurrect her compatriots. Mindy is the midget, who likes casting black magic. Sandy casts Reflect on Cindy, and Mindy then casts an attack spell on her. So... everyone wail on the fat chick, Tellah hanging back as group healer. Once the fat one is dead, take out Sandy, the tall one, and then finally, polish off Mindy, the midget.


Cindy (Mag)

Absorb: None
I've heard a lot of people claim this fight is tough, but I've never had any difficulties with it. Make sure you have Rosa fully equipped, and then have Cecil, Cid and Yang all attacking, Kain using Jump every turn, and Rosa either defending or healing. Whenever Valvalis changes to her tornado form, cease all attacks except for Kain's Jump, since you'll do minimal damage. When Jump hits her, it will knock her out of her form, rendering her vulnerable again.


Cal
HP Str Def Mag MDef
1369 54 0 31 11
Gil Exp Loot Type
500 1000 None None
Weak: None
Resist: None
Absorb: None
This fight is kinda weird, but not especially difficult. Have Kain use Jump on the Cal's, while the rest of the party concentrate on the Brina's. However, when you get down to one Cal left, do NOT kill it. Have your party heal up and defend until it morphs into the Calbrena, and then just beat the crap out of it to get as much experience from this fight as you possibly can.

This is another strange battle in how many different ways it can go. My favoured method is to equip Yang with the Thunder and Cat Claws, and have him use Power on the Balnab bot, while the others defend. He did over 6,000 damage with one hit, killing it instantly. Once Balnab is down, Dr. Lugae hops aboard and it becomes the Balnab-Z. Have Kain Jump, Cecil attack, Yang use Power, Rydia summon Titan and Rosa healing up the party. You have to destroy Balnab-Z as fast as you can, because after a while, Dr. Lugae will use its Self-Destruct to inflict massive damage.

Weak: None

Absorb: None
Basically, use your strongest attacks on Dr. Lugae; Jump, Power, Titan and attacks, whilst Rosa heals up the party. Don't waste her turns curing the Poison that Dr. Lugae inflicts with his first attack, you can deal with that after the battle is over.

For the last of the Four Elementals, I expected this to be a harder battle. Make sure everyone's equipped with Ice weapons (Ice Brand on Cecil, Ice Spear on Kain, Ice Claw + Middle on Edge, Ice Arrows + Killer Bow on Rosa), and Ice armour on whoever can equip it. Have Cecil attack and Kain Jump, while Edge spams Flood and Rydia summons Shiva, Rosa either using Aim or healing. When Rubicant covers himself with his cloak, Ice elemental attacks will heal him, but this doesn't count Physical ones, so keep Cecil, Kain and Rosa doing the same thing, while Edge switches to attack, and Rydia casts Virus/Bio on Rubicant. You should be doing some pretty large damage, winding up this fight quickly.


Asura

Absorb: None
The secret to this battle is being sneaky. Asura will never attack you, except in counters. Otherwise, she spams Protect, Life and Cure3/Curaga. So, have Rosa cast Wall/Reflect upon Asura and launch your attacks one at a time, and then let Asura heal you back up after the nasty counter. The fight is slow, but going for a full-out melee battle will most likely get you flattened.


Leviatan

0 28000 None None
Weak: Lightning
Resist: Poison, Silence, Mini, Petrification, Berserk, Sleep, Curse, Gradual Petrification, Blind, Piggy, Toad, Instant Death, Confusion, Paralysis.
Absorb: None
This fight is comparatively easier than the Asura one, or far harder, whichever way you choose to look at it. Make sure you're not still wearing Ice armour on your characters (1100 damage Ice2/Blizzara's are not fun), and then have Cecil, Kain and Edge all attack, Rydia constantly summon Titan (Ramuh sucks, unfortunately), while Rosa either uses Cure2/Cura on Blizzara attacks, or Cure3/Curaga on Tidal Wave attacks, occasionally using Aim. If Rydia runs out of MP, have her use Osmose on either Cecil or Edge, they don't really need their MP in this fight.
