Vercingetorix was fun - Orphandelus (or whatever the first form of Orphan is called) was a pain when I first reached him

You'll find out when you get to mission 64 that it's the most retarded fight in the game, first you need somebody with poison, then you need high hp with dmg reduction acc., then you need triple sent setup taking one of your slot and fucking pray you don't get your ass kicked in the middle of it by bull shit. also need dispel with basic buffs, retarded.

I used a SAB/SAB/SAB paradigm for Debuff, SYN/SYN/MED for Buffing, RAV/RAV/RAV for chain linking, MED/MED/MED for recovery and SEN/SEN/SEN for resisting his Wicked Whirl attack.

The only trully damaging attack he has is Wicked Whirl, which can be easily countered with the afformentioned paradigm. He's a bit annoying at the start of the battle though, with his Impenetrable Aura, since it removes chain link.

I also used no damage reduction and no magic reduction, just Auto-Haste and Auto-Bravery/Faith accesories, which only last for 55 seconds in the battle, if he doesn't debuff it first.  

I use the lower HP characters too much so I need DMG reduction acc. but yeah, sen/sen/sen, sab/sab/med, sab/med/med, med/med/med, com/rav/rav, and some other shit is what I used, basically poisoned the fucker to death.

Did you get 5/5 on him with using the Poison strategy? I barely didn't use poison on him. Just focused on Slow, Imperil, Deshell and Deprotect. My first fight with him I got him in 7 minutes, but that only netted me 4/5. Second time around I did it in 4:30, perfect 5/5.

na I'ma do some character tweaks and see how much more damage I can get from more damaging teams. first time I just wanted to beat him so time wasn't a concern.

THE LAST BOSS (2nd form)

It is so cheap that he can use "death" on your main fighter....thats instant game over....that should not be allowed in the game....that stupid battle alone makes the game worse than FF6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! {breaths in and out}

@Commonman

Is it in chapter 9?

if so use libra first....each head has a elemental weakness....keep lightning on Ravager, Fang on COM & Hope on MED...stagger each head & take it out.....switch to MED/MED/SEN when required

When you down to the middle head the only attack that will be bad is called Destrudo

He goes into a "charging" mode when he prepares for the attack....change to COM/COM/RAV then and HIT THE HELL OUT OF HIM, if you hit enough he says "UGH" and his destrudo attack halves in damage = doesn't kill your party instantly.

He was very easy after I figured that out.


Sniff. . . thanks Darth, you have saved me. I thought I was going to not finish a FF game for the first time ever. One more thing, party reccomendation for that fight please?

That robot boss when you go back to cocoon and he is super easy until you stagger him then he demolishes you and you have no chance.

Some tough battles in this game, man.

This game is rather easy, so nothing springs to mind that much.

Hrrmmmm...... Neochu? Well, that was pretty easy when I decided to stop focusing on the tiny bastards around him.

The boss that killed me the most times was Havoc Skytanker, but that was before I figured out it had armor.

If you luck out in your SEN, that he always provokes the little buggers and protects your party from their attacks and have good timing with your Paradigm Shift to avoid Neochu's Screech attack 12K damage, then yes, it can be an easy fight, but it's more dependent on luck than on skill. 

Overall it's pretty tough if you don't luck out, and pretty much everyone recognizes that the Neochus are amongst the hardest fights in the game. The only ones that I see harder than Neochus are the two Ratjavikias and the Long Gui.
