Sphinxaur/Sphinxara
Sphinx HP: 10,000 Ap: 30 Exp: -- Status:--
This guys a piece of cake. He riseds at the top of the stairs in the front Foyer of of Ultimecias Castle. At the moment, you can only use the command attack. This boss has low HP, is slow, and its attacks are weaker than you'd think. It can summon some buddies to help it, but they're pretty weak as well. This boss likes Ice magic, so junction Blizzaga to your Elem-Def.
Tri-Point
Tri-Point HP: 2400~22,400 Ap: 30 Exp: -- Weak Vs.Fire/Ice
This boss only seems hard, but if you think ahead, he's a slice of your choice of pie (Some of you don't like applie pie, I prefer Pumpkin.). Dudes and Dudettes, I suggest you junction Thunder to your Elem-Def. Each time you use Physical Attacks on this boss, it attacks with Mega Spark, which makes big damage. But if you have Thunder equipped, it will heal you! Woobles! Tri-Point is weak against Fire and Ice, and it switches every time it gets hit. It also likes to use scan on you.
Krysta
Krysta HP: 5200~ 16, 000. Ap: 30 Exp:-- Immune to Ice
Krysta is relatively weak, but it has a high defense to Physical Attacks and Magic. This boss also Counterattacks to any magical or physical attack, so watch out, because it causes around 3000 damage. You can counter by summoning a strong GF. Diablos and Cactuar (Or Demi for those who don't have GF) works well, and Krysta won't counter attack GF's. So, it will be motionless if you use GF's. Watch out at the end for its final attack-- an Ultima spell. Another good set of magic is casting Meltdown before using spells like Tornadeo, Meteor, and Ultima.
Trauma
Trauma HP: 5555~ 34, 114 Ap: 30 Exp: -- Weak Vs. Wind
This guy likes to create miniature versions of itself called Dromas. Trauma's main attack is called Mega Pulse Cannon, but they're not that powerful. You should Summon Doomtrain at this time. This will probably kill any Dromas, and weaken Traumas defenses. Try Pandemona and Cactuar next, and any body not summoning should attack physically, or act as a Medic.
Gargantua
Gargantua HP: 10,100~15,400 AP: 42 Exp: -- Status:--
You'll fine a Vysage in the armory, but this is no regular Vysage. After defeating all of it, it will come up, to reveal its a big monster called Gargantua. It will respond to physical attacks, with a counter attack called Counter Twist, which does about 2000 damage. He likes to use Abnormal attacks, so set up some Earth magic to the Elem-Def, and Berserk to the Stat-Def. By doing so, Gargantua will have a hard time causing damage to you.
Catoblepas
Catoblepass HP: 10, 500~60,00 AP: 30 Exp: -- Weak Vs. Earth & Water/ Absorbs Thunder
You must protect your party from, Thunder magic, because this boss likes Thundaga. Start by summoning Doomtrain to blind and slow the boss, which will weaken its defenses. Rest is easy. Leviathan and Brothers work well, but don't use Quezacotl, because it heals him. This boss has meteor, which is good to draw. If you have a magic user, use it! After the final blow, Catoblepas will use Meteor again, so look out for your HP.
Tiamat
Tiamat HP: 21,200~89,600 AP: 30 Exp:-- Status:--
This guy is a GF gone bad, because of Ultimecia. I often wonder what it would be like if you could get this guy. He acts a lot like Bahamut, and is only attack is Dark Flare, which is very powerful. When it's not using it, it's waiting for its next chance. You should use Shield on yourself to help cut down the damage by this attack. When it's not attacking, you should be pounding him. Summon Doomtrain first, to slow him and weaken his defenses. This will make the countdown to Dark Flare even slower. Use powerful GF's like Ifrit, Quezacotl, and Pandemona. You should have plenty of time to summon Eden between DFlares. This battle is easy, just keep everyones HP in check. Shield will help cut down the damage on the Dark Flare attack.
Note: You can draw any GF's you may have missed from Tiamat! This INCLUDES Eden!
Ultimecia Lurks Above...
So, looking for Ultimecia? I'm going to let you figure it out. Maybe I'll add a strategy later, but probably not. You never know.
