Strategy

Platform alignment

1 Operate the control panel to the south most red tower. Then, do the same for the blue tower to the right of the tower you operated.
2 Defeat the Precepts Guard or Georapella.
3 Interact with the panel on the tower at the left of the south most tower. Move clockwise, then do the same for the red tower on the left of the one you did.
4 Operate the red tower on the northwest side. Interact with the southwest blue tower panel, this area is to the right of the northwest tower.
5 Touch the panel of the red tower on the northeast side. Interact with the blue tower on the far north.
6 Defeat the Precepts Guard or Georapella.
7 Finally, operate the blue tower’s southwest panel.

You need to align the platforms by operating the panel of the watch towers to reach the chamber.

Precepts Guard and Georapella

Precepts Guard uses multiple status moves such as Poison, Slow, or Death. It can also cast Demi and will have other ways to deplete the party’s HP. Have a White Mage cast Pray to survive its attacks, while a Black Mage and Warrior use “-aga” spells and Excalibur respectively.

Georapella can also be dealt with using a Warrior’s Excalibur. Despite their similarity, Georapella casts Black Mage spells and does not cast any status effects that affect the entire party. Having Haste comes in handy, but is not necessary to defeat it. You can use the same tactic as in the previous encounter, using a White Mage to patch up the party and a Black Mage to nuke the boss.

Baralai

This feisty boss deals damage quickly, so you need to use Haste on everyone. If you are running a Songstress, it will often be targeted by Baralai with Stop. Counter by casting Esuna or cure the Stop with Remedy. Like previous encounters in this chapter, have the White Mage use Pray to keep the party’s health in check. Combine your Black Mage’s powerful spells with a Warrior’s strong attacks and it should go down.

Bahamut

Dedicate one character to support the team as a White Mage to survive Bahamut’s attacks. Use Haste, then channel your “-aga” spells right away. Later on, a countdown will start to tick. Keep an eye on the party’s health when this happens, making sure that you heal so that everyone is near 1,000 HP. If you can’t heal in time, you can still save the party from getting wiped with Mega-Phoenix. You need to time it correctly, though.
