Defeat H Wyrm, found in the cave palace in a hidden area. A few side quests are required first, but this enemy is the ultimate in the game mostly due to the sheer length of the battle.
next time, when your teammates are dying left and right nad you are down to your last person... you may want to RETREAT lol you almost game over'd three times there
I found him fairly easy, I literally left to the store and let my characters fight. Took under 2 hours for me. Great Job to everyone that's done it. I actually found the very last secret creature you fight and you can summon ( forgot his name) to be VERY difficult for me.
Zodiark? I found him fairly easy actually. When Zodiark's HP gets to about 2/3 of the maximum, get a curaja spell charging with flare following a half second later and let a berserker just rip him up. Zodiark is forced to have to wait for both curaja and especially flare before he can use his special skill, which seems to get used at about the halfway point.
@ulillillia Yea Zodiark. I plan on playing the game again so thanks for the advice I can use it. Last time I fought him I barely one and I don't say that lightly lol. thanks again.
I've defeated Yiazmat 3 times now. The first took 10 hours. The second took 5 hours. The third took the same though would've been less if he didn't heal 3 million HP from too much death on my allies.
Faith, certain licenses taking effect, a high magic power, and a low magic resist on the target combine to determine the odds of success. That's why lure pretty much always works. Heavy armor helms add little to magic resist. Light armor adds a medium amount but tons of HP making it the best. Mystic armor helms are best for magic resist. During the last 5 bars, syphon isn't very effective - repeated fleeing, revival, berserk, and entering with flare is the best way to finish Yiazmat.
That item is pointless because it gives a mere 25 extra HP. You can gain access to light armor that boosts HP by 680 as early as the dawn shard just being obtained. 680 is way more than 25. The genji gloves or genji gauntlets (whichever it is that raises the combo rate) is the best, especially on a masamune user. The bubble belt is also good.
Quickenings are surprisingly weak late in the game and they use up so much MP that they aren't even worth it. There is an easier way though for the last 5 bars - hide around the corner, berserk a high-power character with the masamune and, before leading him into battle, charge up flare. This way, your berserker will rip while Yiazmut is forced to have to wait for death strike to work. If you're lucky, you can get 2 casts of flare off at once, but you're better off with 1.
Don't you mean the masamune as opposed to the maramasa? 2 berserkers with lure and a support character is best for the first 25 marks on the life bar, maybe even the first 40 marks. Repeatedly fleeing (without using R2) to refresh and striking with flare makes the last 5 bars much easier - just berserk one masamune user with genji gloves and get flare charged up. Yiazmut has to wait a long time before its death strike finally executes. 25 to 40 rounds of this finishes him off.
Stage 1: Defeat H Wyrm. Stage 2: Accept the Yiazmut hunt. Stage 3: Make all necessary preparations (story progress for access to all spells is the best). Stage 4: Defeat Yiazmut (caution: long battle). Stage 5: Return to Montblanc to report the hunt's end.
It causes those targets with lure status to always be the target of enemies, unless out of range (it's also why the party leader gets targeted quite often when not under lure status - the one with lure is out of range). Lure works wonders for a damage dealer equipped with heavy armor (the maximillian for example) and a high-evasion shield. This way, enemy attacks will do surprisingly little damage, what few times they do manage to hit.
I think Yiazmut is immune to every status effect, except beneficial ones like protect, haste, reflect, etc. Reverse does no good with frequent instant death and it's a major MP hog.
What I would try is putting two people on Bravery, Haste, Bubble, and Berserk. Keep up with Reverse and healing. One person has a Katana with Genji gloves, and the other a Great Sword.
Of course, you can use whatever method you feel most comfortable with. I find curaga, arise, berserk, and decoy the 4 most essential spells with faith helping. Flare helps for the last 5 bars so a berserker can rip while Yiazmut has to wait for "death strike" to be executed. A double dose of flare is especially effective but hard to do as it has to be done otherwise simultaneously.
Can't believe I spent my whole saturday last week trying to beat this boss and died.while he was on his last 2 health bar because I ran out of freaking phoenix downs.
dude that is amazing how you rez so fast like instantaneously as soon as someone goes down and watching this vid makes me wanna finish 12 and fight this guy
I defeated H Wyrm, with nearly 9 million HP in only 40 minutes. Behemoth King took me about 25 minutes, but only because of those annoying palings, especially the immunity to physical attacks one.
I hate this boss with a passion, I got it down to one life bar then i almost died, ran to revive everyone and it healed itself 6 bars in a matter of seconds... needless to say that completely discouraged me from finishing the boss after 8 hours T_T
You have to be fast. Revive everyone, put on the most essential status effects, then dart back into battle with a dispel spell being cast (since the enemy likes to add status effects to itself while away). Once the main party is defeated, I run around the corner to heal and revive as needed, as shown throughout this series.
It got good reviews (only FF to get 40/40 in famitsu), but the gameplay was very divisive, with many fans saying it played the game for you while others such as myself absolutely loved the gameplay, but was disappointed with the characters and lack of plot. They should bring back a place like the golden saucer for every FF game, that makes the game feel so much more immersive, instead of just a cordoned off battling arena for the whole game.
This is the longest boss fight in the game and a player with moderate skill taking few risks could do this in 5 hours. Yes, I'm not much of risk-taker.
Phew, cut it close for a second there. You're a champion Ulillillia, seriously. Also, I'm disappointed in the fact that there was Genji Equipment in your inventory. I was looking forward to a video of you fighting Gilgamesh! Unless I missed it...
I explained it earlier - I recorded the vocal track, but, upon finishing the battle, I noticed I wasn't recording so I didn't have the Gilgamesh battle. I've had this happen with the Bubsy forest eggs super speed video as well - I had a very good run at it, but it was spoiled because the video wasn't recorded.... It's only the second time it's happened though.
Cyclone messed you up pretty bad here. Should've equipped windbreakers when he began the casts to reduce damage. With optimal equipment, this boss 'only' take 2-3 hours. Frankly still a horrendous amount of time, this is an ill-thought out battle. Although I'll certainly take this over some of X's 'hilarious' ideas (by god I hated the minigames. and the sphere grid. AND MONSTER CATCHING.)
I don't know what a windbreaker is or if I even have any. I just try to watch the "combat log" and if I see a "cyclone" in there, I get someone immediately charging up curaja which pretty much negates it outside the "sap" status effect. The instant death is more troublesome than cyclone though, much more.
There's very few that do have this sort of thing. I'd actually rather take 10 life bars of instant death for 10 million HP than 50. Since the save crystals are 2 zones away, getting to them to save your game mid battle will mean the boss is refreshed in full (since every enemy is fully refreshed upon getting 2 zones away).
ulillillia... sorry to tell you this now, but you can actually go away and save mid-battle... he recovers some health but only about a bar at most. I used the save point where you land from the airship.

Your party members are going to die, it's a part of the game so use this gambit setup.
Ally: Any----> Arise
Ally: Any----> (Known counter spell for any status effects known the monster gives you) Esuna/Stona/etc
Then: Foe: Nearest Visable---> Attack
Foe: Flying---> Telekinesis (Or, attack w/ a bow)
That's what I use, I was wondering if any agreed.
