2. Recommended Fights/Chains
===============================================================================
Impartisan -> Cat-Ear Hood (vs. Weredragon)
Weredragon is vulnerable to instant death, so you can equip a weapon with
instant death properties like Zantetsuken and Wing Edge for a potentially
quick win. Equipping a Reflect Ring can bounce Weredragon's Death spell back
at it, or you could send Gogo in with three Sketch commands to have Weredragon
cast Death on itself.
Tabby Suit -> Chocobo Suit -> Moogle Suit -> Nutkin Suit -> Genji Armor (vs.
Vector Lythos, Ahriman, Cherry, and Aspidochelon)
Yes, this is a rather long chain, but it grants you a virtually limitless
amount of Genji Armors, which is pretty freakin' sweet. Tabby Suits, Chocobo
Suits, and Moogle Suits are all stealable from enemies inside Owzer's Mansion
(Couerl Cats, Caladrius, and Blade Dancers respectively). Betting any of these
will eventually net you a Nutkin Suit, which you can then wager for a shiny
new Genji Armor. The fights go something like this:
Vector Lythos is a piddly little enemy that shouldn't pose any challenge
whatsoever. No real strategy needed here.
Mog with 255 defense in the back row with a Safety Bit will be invincible
against Ahriman. 255 defense can be achieved with a Snow Scarf, a Genji Helm,
and any decent shield.
Against Cherry, a Reflect Ring will repel all of her nasty spells back at her.
Attacking her may incur a Meteor counterattack (which is unreflectable and
very painful) so it's best to hold L and R to run and wait until she kills
herself with her own spells.
Aspidochelon is listed below.
Ragnarok -> Lightbringer (vs. Daedalus)
Send Mog in with the following setup:
Holy Lance
Paladin's Shield/Flame Shield
Genji Helm
Snow Scarf
Reflect Ring
Safety Bit
Put him in the back row, and he'll be literally impossible to kill. Any
physical attack will do 0 damage to him, the Paladin's/Flame Shield will
absorb Flare Star and Fire Wall, the Reflect Ring will reflect Flare, and the
Safety Bit will protect against Blaster.
Healing Rod -> Magus Rod (vs. Tonberry)
Mog in the back row with 255 defense and a Ribbon/Jeweled Ring will be
completely invincible. Keep in mind that Tonberry uses Traveler when it dies,
so if you don't have high enough HP to survive it, a Muscle Belt might be in
order.
Cat-Ear Hood -> Merit Award (vs. Slagworm)
Send Mog in with a Paladin's Shield/Thunder Shield, a Genji Helm, a Snow
Scarf, and Angel Wings. In the back row, he will be impossible to kill. The
shield will protect from Sandstorm, the Angel Wings will protect from Quake,
and 255 defense in the back row will ensure 0 damage from physical attacks.
Regal Gown -> Minverva Bustier (vs. Death Machine)
Death Machine will cast Death 75% of the time, and counters any attack with
Blaster. It's vulnerable to instant death, so your best bet is to equip a
Reflect Ring to reflect Death back at it. As soon as the fight starts, hold L
and R to make your character run so they can't attack and get Blastered.
Elixir -> Rename Card -> Miracle Shoes (vs. Cactuar and Fiend Dragon)
Cactuar has ridiculously high defense and evasion scores, but only 3 HP, so
you can take it down very easily if you're equipped properly. Gogo with three
Attack commands and a Master's Scroll should make quick work of it.
Against Fiend Dragon, send Mog in with a Paladin's Shield/Flame Shield, a
Genji Helm, and a Snow Scarf. Put him in the back row and he will be
impossible to kill. The shield will take care of Southern Cross, and 255
defense in the back row will ensure all physical attacks will do 0 damage.
Thornlet -> Mirage Vest (vs. Aspidochelon)
Aspidochelon uses attacks of multiple elements, including Earth, Ice, and
Wind. You can equip the appropriate gear to protect against these elements, or
you could just take the easy way out and exploit its vulnerability to instant
death. Your call.
Behemoth Suit -> Snow Scarf (vs. Outsider)
Outsider has two instant death attacks (one of which is physical, so it can't
be protected from by Safety Bit/Memento Ring), and a variety of unblockable
Throw attacks. Even with perfect evasion/magic evasion, it will be difficult
to take him on mano a mano. So in order to take him down as quickly as
possible, you should exploit his biggest weakness: instant death. Use similar
strategies as against Weredragon, but keep in mind that Sketch will only
result in instant death 25% of the time.
===============================================================================
3. The Celestriad Cycle
===============================================================================
So you want a bunch of Celestriads, but you're far too lazy to spend hours
trying to win them off Brachiosaurs or steal them from Galydes? That's
understandable. Luckily for you, there is a relatively quick and painless way
to score multiple Celestriads within the coliseum!
This trick involves wagering the Murakumo in order to fight the monster
Galypdes. Galypdes is usually an extremely rare enounter in the Phoenix Cave,
so this will save you the trouble of hunting them down. Set Gogo up with three
Steal commands, a Brigand's Glove, and a Safety Bit (to protect from Galypdes'
Cyclonic and Shamshir attacks). As he fights Galypdes, he will Mug it every
turn until it dies. If that particular Galypdes wasn't holding a Celestriad,
that's no problem!
By winning the fight, you will receive a Holy Lance, which you can then wager
to get the Murakumo back. You can then wager the Murakumo again, and continue
the cycle until you have all the Celestriads you want.
