Phases:

1. The fight begins with both Celsius and Fenrir active. It's recommended to focus on defeating Fenrir first, as he can be quite a nuisance.
2. Once Fenrir is down, Celsius will be the sole remaining threat.

Strategy:

• Party Setup: Your ideal party for this fight is Lloyd, Genis, Raine, and Sheena.
• Equipment: Make sure Sheena has the Card of Fire equipped. If you previously equipped the Card of Ice on her, remember to switch it out.
• Genis's Spells: Deactivate all of Genis's spells except for Raging Mist and Eruption. These two will be crucial for dealing damage, especially against Fenrir's weaknesses.
• Battle Orders: Set your party to the 'All Out' order to maximize offensive pressure.
• Target Priority: Start by focusing all your attacks on Fenrir. His speed and attacks can be overwhelming, and taking him out early simplifies the fight significantly.
• Healing: Raine is your dedicated healer. Ensure she's set to prioritize healing and keeping the party alive throughout the battle. She's essential for surviving the onslaught.
• Sheena's Role: Sheena acts as an attack supporter. While not the primary damage dealer, her spells and abilities can contribute to taking down the bosses.
• Unison Attack: When Celsius starts to charge up her more powerful, screen-darkening attacks, or when you're directly engaging her, unleash a Unison Attack. This is your best bet to interrupt her most annoying abilities and prevent massive damage.
• Celsius's Attacks: Be aware that Celsius has a Beast-type attack, which can be particularly frustrating. Her fighting style is similar to Regal's but amplified in speed and power. She herself isn't as difficult as Fenrir if you manage her properly, especially with the Unison Attack interrupts.
