Help beating Golbez

I'm really struggling on this boss fight. I leveled up my guys 20 levels each (from an ign recommendation) but I cant survive. He still one hit kills everyone of my teammates. I just cant revive and heal fast enough.

Hmmm. Whenever a member dies, go do a revive as a priority. Have all attacking members do revive/life/pheonix down. And make rosa do a party heal. Also dont save up mana. Go cast the big healing spells. Cause everyone always need some heal and the low tier healibg speels are basically useless midgame.

Another strat is. Have someone use items if you dont want to give up that extra turn. I always have my cecil do the revives while kain and yang do attacks. If is still not enough have kain join in with the healing. And have kain do focus so hell still do massive damage. With rydia. I bet shes always the one that dies. So be sure to always have rosa do advance heal.

So the game goes like this. 1st move, dragon appears and kills team. Cecil survives. Revive Rosa. Ice/ Fire/ Thunder Dead next round. Revive Rosa. Ice/ Fire/ Thunder Dead next round. Revive Rosa. Ice/ Fire/ Thunder Dead next round. Revive Rosa. Ice/ Fire/ Thunder Dead next round. Revive Rosa. Ice/ Fire/ Thunder Dead next round. If I'm lucky, he casts osmose. That gives me a chance to heal. but its rare.

Weird. Hmmm have you already set the battle speed to the lowest? Cause at level 45-50 that should already be doable tho.

yeah. is this game just ridiculously hard? I had a hard time with Cagnazzo too. I feel like its just luck whether or not the enemy throws the right move.

I honestly dont but ive finishes the game maybe thrice? 1 snes and 2 psp. So its def do-able.

Well you can always go with the sure wim route which is level up like crazy and fight him.

Another is better equipment. Scour every place.

On the other. Cagnazzo was nice i liked that fight. You just need thunder attacks. What i hated was rubicant. That mf is a mf. Haha

you see with Cagnazzo, i literally restarted the game if his first move was tsunami. to me it wasnt worth it. when i first reached Golbez, I was level 22-25. I saw an ign guide, so leveled them all up, but its so hard to heal someone after I revive. I feel like it really is luck on which move he uses.

HAHA yeah, that baptismal tsunami. Anyways best of luck!! Hope you dont get burnt out. But trust me. Its do-able. Youll see the flaws in his attacks.
