[General Discussion] Overly Frustrating RPG Boss Battles - Sephiroth kicked my ass

I'm at level 100 and STILL can't beat the final boss in Star Ocean 2.

Of course, he can't hold a candle to the bosses in the Cave of Trials. Man...

A lot of the bosses ARE hard in that game, but... a lot of others are only as hard as you make it. If you have an ill-prepared party (mainly an unbalanced one), a lot of battles will be hard...

But some... geez. I'm not grinding 100 more levels to get through the Cave.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It may sound stupid, but Energy Arrow is one of the fastest spells you can cast and it will interrupt his Explosion spell and hopefully stop him long enough for the fighters to get in a few hits.

Honestly most of the bosses in that have a particular trick that screws them over if you know about it.

Hmmmm... I'll have to try that one out! Thanks!

Now if I could just get to the guy without being eaten by those yellow blobs...

And I second the Dhoulmagus statement. ...

Spoiler:

His second form, goddamn. Two or three attacks per turn... he kept wiping the floor with my party. Didn't help that my party's speed randomly changed. Or that Angelo kept dying. Or that the revive spell I have NEVER WORKED. AARGH.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
