Strategy

Tiamat has a high defense, particularly when its HP falls below 20%. You'll have Larsa to help out, so make sure he stays healthy. Open the battle with a good Quickening chain. Most of Tiamat's attacks are physical and it will usually focus on one character at a time. Keep your front-line fighter in your best armor and keep him/her healthy with Curaga or Hi-Potions. If a character should fall, be ready with Raise or a Phoenix Down. It's wise to make one of these your top gambit for your main healer.

Observations

Being a dragon awakened by Fran's sister, Mjrn, in a Mist-frenzy.

Ancient tomes describe it as an anima of the winds, possessed of a violent temperament and destructive power enough to lead the entire world to ruin.

There are some who believe that Tiamat was responsible for the decimation of the imperial troop performing experiments on manufacted nethicite, having been awakend by the Stones' fell cry.
