Lost Odyssey where you at?

Perhaps the hardest boss in the game if you could believe it. I figured out how to dispatch him eventually. First you must equip break hit to Kaim and Seth. Then you exclusively use break hit on the boss. Totally ignore the front row. Then split your damage between the two remaining foes you must kill them both in the same turn. Otherwise the one you haven't killed will commit suicide, and resurrect both the other suicidal guard and the boss.

I had Kaim, Seth, Sarah, Ming, and the obligatory Mack. I used Kaim and Seth to break hit. I used Sarah and Ming to use zephyra or dole out healing. I also had all characters double item skill enabled. I used mack to throw delay and slow attacks against the boss, and when I exhausted those I had him enact wall. The boss shattered all such efforts, but it does seem to cost him at least one Halbird.

My problem was that I had been so effective with combo in dealing damage that I had just taken Break hit out of my skill set. However you absolutely need it for this boss since you can never take out the front row until he has been dealt with.
