Most of you probably don't even remember this boss, but with my low level team he is one of the hardest boss of the game.

The reason ? My only ways to deal decent damage to him are Flarus and Corporeal (other spells do pretty much no damage)

I obviously can't rely on Corporeal unless the fight last some time, and after a Flarus, the boss will ALWAYS counter with an attack that deal 80% of MAXIMUM HP.

And to make the fight even worst, he can use Earth Crash (same casting animation than Continuous Strike, so you can't know what he will use until he uses it) a powerful Earth attack which deal around 150 damage to both Marumaro and Kluke (yes, it will always kill Kluke if she isn't defending) and 100 damage to Shu and Jiro (thanks to the Black Belts).

After countless tries, I think I even understand his attack pattern, and it should help you to understand why I spent some turns defending my whole team :
Turn 1 : Attack
Turn 2 : Attack or Earth Crash (low probability)
Turn 3 : Attack or Continuous Strike or Earth Crash (high probability)
Turn 4 : Continuous Strike or Earth Crash (very high probability)
Repeat

This attempt was really lucky as he didn't cast Earth Crash a single time (first time it happens to me) and Jiro got his first turn soon enough (even with the Shield Earring he takes a lot of damage, and I even got attempts where he died before getting his first turn).

After the fight I got the Gravitic Ring in Mural Town and then saved at Jibral castle on my way to the Groundus spell.

I should get A LOT of items/medals in the next segment, however maybe I will split it in 2 segments depending of the luck require.
