Can someone help me with the fight with ex death in ff 5, not the last battle, like the second one. I have anthology and it took me soooo long just to beat the elementals.eztarg8Have a Blue Mage who knows the spells 'Guardian', 'White Wind', 'Goblin Punch' and 'Condemn' with the 'Time' ability; a White Mage with 'Summon' ability; and 2 physical attackers, preferably those who can use 'Double Grip' (Knight) and/or 'Magic Sword' (Sorcerer). Of course, 'Shot' (X-Fight) ability is indispensable, but if you don't have it, 'Double Grip' will do. The first form should be pretty easy. Use this chance to give your party all the fortifications it will need. You Blue Mage should use 'Guardian', your Summoner summon 'Golem' and Time Mage cast 'Haste2'. Attack X-Death with 'Shot' (X-Fight). If your Blue Mage is available, let him/her use the surprisingly useful 'Goblin Punch' (4000+ damage)! After 4-5 'Shots' from your attackers, you'll be facing Neo X-Death. He got 4 targets for a total of 220000 HP! Don't worry. He's not much of a problem. The fortifications you made in the first form will be carried over to the second form. Unless you die or it is 'Dispeled', it'll forever be present. The most important one is 'Guardian'. Spells like 'Flare', 'Holy' and 'Meteo' will most likely kill you if your 'Shell' or 'Guardian' is off. As long as you're completely fortified, and with a constant healing support, you'll be fine. He has this nasty 'Grand Cross' spell, which is capable of inflicting multiple negative status ailments to your party. Be sure you got some curative items (Revivify/ Holy Water is the most important). Concentrate on the Target 1 (front). It has the lowest HP so you can destroy it quickly. Summoning Bahamut and Leviathan is good in dealing damage to all targets at the same time, but it's not that useful and they consume too much MP. Keep a steady flow of offense, one target at a time, and victory will be yours, OR If you failed to learn those abilities mentioned in the above strat, bring up a party of Samurais. Give the first one 'Blue' ability; the second, 'Time' ability; the third, 'White' ability; the fourth, 'Summon' ability. Start the battle by casting 'Guardian', 'Haste2' and 'Golem'. The one with 'White' ability should prioritize healing. Our focus here is to use '$Toss'. This strategy will take long because a single '$Toss' can deal 2800+ damage only, so you would want to use it in every opening available. Good luck!
