Nice tiny boss there! Taharka is immune to Mini, this seems to be a glitch after using Madeen on it.
Taharka is vulnerable to a couple of things, first and most ridiculous is Heat; Mustard Bomb or Steiner's Flame Sabre can kill it instantly. Second is Silence. 2/4 of it's actions are Blizzaga, meaning we've cut out a lot of its offence. Third is Poison, dealing high damage over time. Fourth is Sleep, meaning Night is very effective if you can set Insomniac. With all of these things combined, Taharka can be completely crippled for an easy win.
Taharka can use Curl to increase its Defence, making magical attacks much more desirable, fire and wind in particular. When curled, it simply spams Ram to deal physical damage, but it's honestly not too threatening. With access to Hilda Garde 3, I spent a lot of time collecting Ores and making gems in Daguerreo so our Eidolons can do some hefty damage. Combined with Red Hat's Fire element boost and Feather Hat's wind element boost, Ifrit and Fenrir (Millennial Decay) can easily hit the damage cap when their full animation plays.
