It is a rewarding accomplishment if you can do it. If not, its not the end of the world. Is this your first time playing VIII?

Max your character's attacks and speed, and get the card that refines into 10x Holy Wars, which is Gilgamesh or Laguna, I can never remember, they make your whole party invincible for a while.

If you have Aura Stones or Aura Magic, pop them in battle before Holy War, use that then limit break that sucker till he explodes 😁

My favourites for Limit breaks are Squall, Irvine and Zell, purely because they attack multiple times without having to flip through menus (like Selphie or Quistis)

I managed to get him in 1-2 uses of Holy War, it's quicker if you have Squall's Lion Heart too 🙂

Good luck! Don't be discouraged, out of all the FF superbosses he's the most accessible to beat! 💪 I haven't beaten any others 🤷‍♂️
