having a bit of trouble getting past those pesky judges on the Dreadnought Leviathan. any ideas as to how i can overcome these lil sods?

Okay, well before you go into the room, cast shell and protect. Then kill the mage first, as he can do heavy damage. You only have to defeat the judges i think. But i would just kill them all. If your still stuck, just go back a bit and level up a little..

I used quickenings on the second go around... if you have enough LP, I'd try to get one quickeing on at least two characters... armor helps...I think after you kill both judges, the battle immediatley ends...

cheers guys thats awsome :)

I did this on my first go; I didn't even have any Quickenings at the time, although the fight was still quite tough.
But if you do kill both of the two judges, all of the Imperial will run away, so I would suggest just nuking 1 of the judges with all your people first. Once this is done, just take down the next judge although, all your people will be getting battered quite heavily whilst you are nuking down the judges - so keep an eye out for your health.

By the way, once you get Ashe and you have made your way back to where you started, I would strongly advise healing and getting your MP back up full before you go into the room, because once your in, you have to fight Judge Ghis who is guarded with two Imperials. This fight is quite a tough one, but if you take down the two guards first, then have two of your party members attacking Ghis whilst the other heals you all, you should be able to survive.

BUff up kill the soilders then kill the judges
