Tips
  • Hueyacoatl (Grotto Y): Use high-level wind spells like Aerora. Attacking it while supercharged will pressure it. Be cautious of its paralyzing attacks and heal with a Remedy or Esuna if needed.
  • Sea Dragon (Grotto δ): Poison it with Bio Spell when it's galvanized in flames to pressure it. Use Thundaga to stagger it. Spam synergy abilities to generate ATB if needed.
  • Brineborn Demon (Grotto B): Counter its Graviga with a stagger while it's in Counterstance. Use focused attacks like Focused Thrust or Focused Strike. If hit by Graviga, use a group heal like Curaga (linked to Magnify Materia) or Mist Giga-Potion.
  • Ogre Raider (Grotto A): Exploit its weakness to Ice. Use Blizzaga with Aerith to pressure it, then use focused abilities to stagger it. Use Limit Breaks, synergy abilities, and high-damage attacks like Infinity’s End once staggered.
