I just died even with the video. Got to 6:07 I got the Z-spear and all my guys are 60+ how the hell are these guys killing me so easy? There were like 3 of them and they just up and fucking killed me all buffed out I don't get it. It those stupid ass hard to hit way points around and around man I am pissed off.

The Forbidden? I don't remember them being a problem - it was the Necrophobes that gave me a hard time. Then again, Lvl 60 is probably a bit low - the enemies are around Lvl 63/64, so you're probably better off levelling up a bit first. Ultima's a pretty tough fight, so I wouldn't bother until you can deal with the enemies fairly easily. If you really can't wait, use Bubble and Flee past them, healing whenever you get the chance.

I don't remember the Forbidden... the hell? :)
FYI: Necrophobes can be blinded and silenced, ftw.

Yeah I could not wait so i used bubble and ran like hell. When I got to her I had seen the videos but I had ZERO white masks it took me 2 hours to fine the best way and it was

~Get lucky
~quickening (during MP sap)
~use elixir/hi ethers I used all 4 Elixer so I am hoping there is a way to farm/buy them?
~pull in lv 40's and use there quickenings

I am not sure if I can do the others at this stage

Zeromus
exodus
chaos
cuchulainn

If those are anything like her I am going to lv 99. I She would have been super easy if i had white masks my main are lv 65+

i wonder how i get out now =O

30min to get in 5min to get out ^_^

I think ALL of the espers you've listed are easier than Ultima. (Chaos may be the exception, just because getting to him is a pain).

Congrats. You beat a bitch-ass boss battle without using an obvious exploit. ::clink::

Ultima disapointed me (imo). An esper that leads a revolt against the gods and I beat her in one try. The only espers I do/have found challenging are/were Exodus and Zodiark.

I never found Exodus hard at all - one of the easiest Espers to beat, in my opinion. But I took forever to kill Zodiark: Darkja kept killing and blinding most of my team (why didn't Black Masks absorb that attack?).

The dark-absorb armor will protect against the Dark element, but I don't think anything can prevent the instant KO, it's just random.

Exodus was a problem? Strange. He was much easier than Ultima. I thought the ultima fight was pretty cool, very engaging since you had to change your gambits to match each field effect.

They do. Darkja does damage with a chance of insta-KO and blinding. Dark masks absorb the damage. It was still a hell of a fight, especially when I didn't know who was scathing who.
