Strategy

He will cast Oil on your party, so try to buy some Handkerchiefs and set up a gambit like this: Ally: Any>Handkerchief.

He'll also throw Firaja spells at you in an area, so try to keep your party members separated. Try fighting him by attacking and casting Water. He's somewhat slow-moving, so you should be able to get in a few hits in between his attacks. Use Cure and Cura as necessary, or Hi-Potions if you like. If you have Quickenings available (and you should at this points), use them. After defeating him you will have him as an Esper.

GENUS: Esper

CLASSIFICATION: The Gigas

Mesha Ascendant

Scion of darkness and guardian of the Holy Realm, made by the gods in opposition to the Transcendent Loghrif, scion of light.

Called the Gigas for his appearance: man and monster fused as one.

Considered a mistake upon his making, and receiving not his intended role, the Gigas challenged the gods and lost. Scorned by his masters, he found another: the Dynast-King, whose tomb he swore to protect for eternity.
