Ifrit is the Fire Guardian Force so obivously you're not going to want to be casting a lot of fire magic on this boss, lest you want to keep healing him over and over again. The opposite element to fire is ice so in this battle, ice magic is going to be the key to victory. What you should be using are spells like Blizzard and summoning Shiva as much as possible. Note that Ifrit has Cure magic on him so whenever you need to heal simply use the draw command and then cast Cure on either of your party members. Ifrit has a couple of basic attacks. First of all he will cast the Fire spell on your party quite often which only deals around 50 damage so you should be able to survive against this easily. After the boss has taken a certain amount of damage he will change his tactic and begin using a new type of attack. The jumping body check will hit one of your party members for about 150 damage which can be dangerous if you're hit more than once so if this occurs be sure to heal up quickly after. Now here's something to keep in mind, the time limit you have does not include leaving the cave, meaning that you shouldn't be worried about leaving time for you to escape after the battle is over. In fact your upcoming SeeD rank is actually influenced more positively the LESS time you have on the clock when you defeat Ifrit, meaning ideally you should get his health down as low as possible and then strike the final blow when the timer is at about ten seconds or so. It won't make a huge difference, and once you receive your rank it's only the basic level,to can upgrade it anyway, but it's nice to start off high.
