Strategy

This robotic boss fire a Type-97 Cannon which emits an EM field. This area attack will zap Zack if you get too close. All other attacks can be avoided by dodging. If you stand right next to the Guard Spider, you'll limit its attacks. Stand behind it and slash away for critical hits. Run away when it prepares its EM field, then go back in. You can also cast Thunder magic at it for some good damage.
