Strategy

As the second Esper battled in the storyline, don't expect it to be easy. Start off equipping anything that protects against Ice magick, as this boss will cast Blizzaja at your party. He will occasionally cast Sap, so have a top gambit ready to deal with that going in. Destroy the Ice Azers that surround the boss by unleashing a good Quickening chain. One good chain can eliminate them completely, but if you're unsuccessful, you'll have to finish them off manually. Cast Thunder or Thundara at the Ice Azers to do some serious damage. Do NOT cast magick at Mateus because he has Reflect on her and it'll come back to damage your pary members. Save your remaining MP for curing, and use physical attacks on Mateus. Keep your healer moving to restore some MP. Keeping your party members separate will reduce the damage done from those area attacks.
