    Commentary

    There’s a quest for this boss that requires a 4-man VI party consisting of at least Edgar and Sabin. Thankfully the Tentacles aren’t that difficult. Draw Fire and/or Magic Lure are decent options. AoEs like Kick are great (especially if you can stack ATK buffs). Watch the videos below for more ideas!

    Recommended abilities: AoE
    Recommended RW: SG/SS2, Scream


    Total medals = 18, meaning you can only afford to lose 3 medals to get Mastery.

    Determined to Fight +++
    Storm Dragon
    HP: ~202500
    Target Score:
    • Defeat Storm Dragon without being KO'd.

    • Reduce Storm Dragon's MAG.

    Weak: Lightning
    Absorbs: Wind
    Resist: None
    Null: Earth
    Vulnerabilities: Blind and Sap Abilities

    Commentary

    Storm Dragon isn’t too intimidating, just hope it doesn’t use Cyclonic on you.

    Remember to reduce its MAG with appropriate abilities and hit it with lightning attacks. Tyro’s BSSB is great here for the dual purpose of magic breaking + magic blink to block some nasty spells

    Recommended abilities: defensive Breakdowns, Shellga
    Recommended RW: SG/SS2, Mighty Guard (VIII), Scream

    Commentary
    • Any dead enemy will resurrect after a few turns.
    • If all three are alive, they have the ability to use “Delta Magic”

    You can choose to kill all three at once, or kill Curlax and Moebius together then KO’ing Laragorn after.

    Whichever approach you choose, make sure to tank the party up with Shellga and keep the stooges magic broken (stacking them is great, Multi-Break is amazing here). If you happen to have Gigas Ring, it’s a great defensive accessory here.

    Recommended abilities: Multi-Break, Shellga, Banishing Strike / Dispel, Odin
    Recommended RW: SG/SS2, Scream


    Total medals = 18, meaning you can only afford to lose 3 medals to get Mastery.

    ► Ipooh

    Attack: Deal physical damage to one target.
    Tear: Deal moderate physical damage to all targets.
    Claw: Deal physical damage to one target. (ignores DEF)
    Rush: Deal moderate physical damage to one targets. (ignores DEF)

    Commentary
    • Vargas cannot be targeted nor damaged until both Ipoohs are defeated.
    • Vargas uses Phantom Rush when brought to a certain threshold.

    The faster you get rid of Ipoohs, the easier this fight will be. You don’t want to be getting lots of Kicks by Vargas because it hurts a lot. Use AoEs (fire summons, Sephiroth’s coat SB, Flame Blossom, etc) to quickly take care of Ipoohs.

    Keep your party tanked up with Protectga (and other DEF buffs) and reduce Vargas’s ATK with stacked Breaks/Breakdowns. Towards the end Vargas tends to spam his Kicks and Phantom Rush so be careful and throw everything you have at him.

    Recommended abilities: Flame Blosson, Tornado Strike, other AoEs, Power Breakdown, Protectga, Multi-Break
    Recommended RW: SG/SS2, Scream

    Kongbakpao had one of Vargas Ult+ moves listed as some JP text, I remember BG had an issue long ago with JP text so I changed the name of the move to (JP Text Move) as a precaution.

    I think it's "Phantom Rush" listed in the commentary section.

    5 MC2's but only 4 MC1's? Is that a mistype? I'm just curious because I've never seen a weekly event where a character was featured and didn't get an MC1.

    Don't take the tentacle fight lightly, but it isn't as hard as it seems.

    Was going to master until a tentacle took out Sabin with bio and I lost 3 medals, otherwise would have lost 1 for actions and 1 for damage.

    Went in with Edgar 65, Sabin 50, Celes 80, Locke 80. Used Mirage Dive with Mako Might for AoE slow, paralyzed and TR'ed with Locke. Celes was on Fire/Ice duty, Sabin geared what he could, and Edgar was using Saint's Cross and Poison Shell. Used Tailwind for RW and it was enough healing and mitigation.

    Also remember guys that you only have to clear the fight with the party in order to complete the cid mission, don't need to master, so if you are having trouble mastering, can just clear it with the cid mission party then go back with main party and master it.

    Gonna try the tentacle fight with this setup. Bringing Lenna as my 1 non FFVI person since she has Princess' Favor and Flames of War.

    Kefka has Havoc Wing, Sabin has Razor Gale, and Celes has Runic Blade. Hopefully it's enough.

    The quest is 4 people only and all of them are FFVI, you cannot go 5 man if you want the quest reward
