Final Fantasy Tactics Walkthrough

This battle can be easier than it looks, despite the scary-looking monsters and the two assassins, who in your last encounter, probably beat you to within an inch of your life even when you won the battle. In this go-round, you need only take out one of the assassins, or even just bring them to critical condition. If you're using Orlandeau, this should mean walking him up to the ledge and striking down the closest assassin in one hit. If you're not, bring someone with Holy, someone with Ignore Elevation, or someone that can hit them with a summon.

If you can do two or more of these things, the battle shouldn't be a problem, but finish things quickly or you'll find most of your party killed, poisoned, or (and?!) turned into frogs. You should feel free to equip accessories that prevent these debuffs on as many characters as you like, especially Ramza who will be the first target due to where he starts the battle. Angel Ring is a good choice to prevent instant KO (and to provide Reraise), Barettes and Ribbons are good for your female characters, and Japa Mala is a solid choice for anyone else to help prevent debuffs.

Again, if you're looking to move forward quickly, take some powerful units to immediately hammer the assassins. If you're looking to max out your game, though, prepare to weather the storm a bit and plan for this alert box below.
