Hi there
I just succeeded beating this boss, and having done it a rather special way, i wanted to see if that kind of stuff had ever happened to anyone.

Having never been very fond of leveling, I went there with people between lv 37 and 46 - and therefore much below the 5XXX damage he deals with ultima.
With none of them being able to use life3
And having saved in the top room after opening the chest (i'm playing on an emulator, and the previous save would have taken me quite a long way back)

Now... how would you do that ?
(i'm only telling the way I did it in a few hours so you can think a bit )

Well, there are a number of ways. You could cast Vanish on the party with Fenrir's effect (or was it Phantom?), and Berserk the Magic Master so he can't touch the party. You could have someone be Jumping in the air when he uses his desperation attack so that you'll still win the battle. Or you could deplete his MP, which probably took forever.

I just stick to Reraise on everyone in order to survive Ultima.

Can't you cast Silence/Mute on the Magic Master? I forgot whether he was immune to it or not...


Doesn't matter either way though, since you can just cast Berserk...

Rasp/Osmose him to 0 MP. He dies then.

Good old CoN

Even with bersek he casts ultima when he dies. And he has 50'000 mp.
The jump thing is almost right, except since you can't attack, you can't jump either (except by using palidor, or maybe bersek one of your characters who can jump)
