Maybe the hardest boss in the whole challenge.

Barriers are slow, weak to various status like Dead, Stone and Stop, BUT they also have permanent Wall status. Moreover, their first attack is always Flare or Holy on themselves, which is a guarantee kill on one character, and as you may have notice, there are 4 of them...

My only ways to deal with them is to use Catoblepas (64% accuracy), stop them with Romeo's Ballad (rarely works on all of them) and deal damage with unreflective spells (Meteor/Comet and some blue spells). Also, I can only use Catoblepas three times since I will need some MP to cast Golem later.

So here is the plan : cast Meteor to deal more than 3000 damage to one Barrier (which mean hit three times the same Barrier with 5 targets available), hit the three others with Catoblepas (around 26% of success) and don't be unlucky with Romeo's Ballad (I must get at least 4 turns to kill them, and sometimes they attack after only 2 turns).

But even if all Barriers are gone, Necrophobe is still here, and he is the main threat. He is not immune to Darkness and Slow status, but due to poor accuracy of Slow (9,5%) and Flash (4,3%) against him, it is not likely to work. Golem can only protect against 3 attacks and Necrophobe always does two actions in a row.

Lenna and Krile have Main Gauche to evade 25% of physical attacks, but Lenna must be alive as long as possible to boost Goblin Punch power (initial damages would be 156). Once Bartz is alone, you must hope that Necrophobe will lose 34000 HP before he hits you once. Genji Shield & Mini status & Elven Mantle grant me 99,33% evade, while I must have the Bone Mail instead of the Mirage Vest to survive his Death Spell.
