Boss: Doga

  • Level: 45
  • Max HP: 22,800
  • EXP Earned: 13,600
  • Gil Earned: 12,000

Boss: Unei

  • Level: 44
  • Max HP: 21,800
  • EXP Earned: 16,000
  • Gil Earned: 12,600

Strategy:

  • Doga: Doga uses strong physical attacks, Firaga, Blizzaga, Thundaga, and Flare. Use Protect before Reflect. Reflect can be very effective, potentially damaging Doga with his own spells. Haste is recommended. Offensive options include Bahamut, Leviathan, Jump, "-ga" spells, Aeroga, and high-power items.
  • Unei: After defeating Doga, Unei appears immediately without a chance to heal. Unei uses White Magic like Aera, Haste, Protect, and the dangerous Tornado spell, which reduces HP to under 10. Consider using Reflect on your party or on Unei to block her spells. Erase or Study can also be used. Keep Cure spells and items ready. Save Phoenix Downs as a last resort.
Tips
  • The dungeon is relatively short.
  • Two 10,000 Gil chests are found early in the dungeon.
  • A White Musk, Lust Dagger, and Rising Sun are found in chests after taking a specific path.
  • A Chocobo’s Wrath is found along a linear path later in the dungeon.
  • Two Phoenix Downs are found before the final boss area.
