Ni no Kuni (PS3): Boss #9 - Jabou 1

On our way to Borg Empire using the ship Jabou decides to pay us a visit and ambushes the party before they even realize what is going on...

-----
Dark Sorcerer: Jabou (闇の魔導士ジャボー)
Weak: Light
Resist: Dark
Steal:??? (Does he have a steal here? You can use God Steal for a 100% steal rate due to gold orbs but I never really tried it)
Drop: None

Infinite Flames (無限の炎)
Single target, fire, heavy damage, throws a blue firestorm at the target that leaves behind blue flame residue. Block to avoid the attack and jump (cancel button) to avoid damage from the leftover flames.

Dark Gale (闇の烈風)
Area of effect, Wind, throws a black pulse forwards that inflicts moderate damage to anyone caught in it. Stand beside of behind him to avoid it or guard if you think you don't have enough room.

Dark Freeze (闇の氷結)
All Target, Water, heavy damage. Guard it or throw out an Imajinn that resists Water.

Luckily, if you understand how all of his attacks work this fight is fairly simple. You only really need to get him down to about 55% of his HP.

Put Maru on "Focus on healing" and Gyro on... "Do nothing". YES REALLY. That tactic makes the AI do nothing but use the guard command so it'll keep him safe and lower the amount of healing that Maru has to keep up with as you don't get Attack Shift and Guard Shift until after this fight.

Besides, Oliver alone is enough to deal the damage to make Jabou end the battle in a short amount of time.
