This segment is the one where I go through Owzer's House. This segment is all about managing EXP. There are two forced inescapable encounters on the way to Owzer. The first is a fight between two Dahlings and the second is against the "Still Life" miniboss. Each of them is quite easy to beat, but both of them are a pain in the butt for their own reasons.

For the Dahling fight, I can avoid the EXP entirely by use of a bug. Hidden enemies do not grant EXP when the battle has ended, and one way of putting the enemies into this state is to summon Palidor while Confused. The hard part is making sure that the enemies die while in the air. This can be achieved with either Condemned or Poison in general, and Poison is the obvious choice here. Gogo will use the Bio Blaster at the start of the fight to Poison them, and then I count out ~85 seconds before casting the spells. I put the ATB on Active for this fight to make sure that my time in the menu doesn't affect my count. Only one died in the air in the end, but it was enough, since it didn't cause either Gau or Gogo to gain any levels.

There is no way around the EXP for the Still Life fight, so I need to give it all to Gau. The problem with this is that I can't have Gau present for the fight against Chadarnook, or Relm will re-average to level 7 instead of 6. So I have to bring Gau, kill Still Life, walk back out, Leap Gau onto the Veldt, and then come back again without him. It's an enormous pain, but I don't have any options. Because of this I don't recommend watching this whole video, since it's fairly repetitive. Skip to the parts that don't suck.
