8.)necron
Hp65,000 ap0 steal elixer
Take off all your abilities and equip anti body clearheaded bodytemp insomniac loudmouth and any otherthings I forgot. This is the second hardest fight in the game and guess what I'm not going to help youbesides you should know my strategies by now and I think your ready if you fail it's ok just go back level up and try again even tho I did it on my first try. But I've also beat the game 18 timesbut thats not impresive I've beaten final fantasy 7 34 times and final fantasy 8 21 times I've beaten ff 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,10,10-2,11,tactics and tactics advanced
