If you aggro him and run back toward the entrance he turns around and leaves you alone and you don't have to zone. When he retreats his hp regens really fast.
Your 2 party members need to have ranged attacks and it doesn't matter what the leader has because his gambits need to be off anyway.
Pay attention to the color of the names. Hold down r2 and run up to him and turn around and run the moment a name turns red. If you screwed up and the leader didn't get aggro keep running and never let go of r2.
If your party leader got aggro and you have good timing, you can let go of r2 right before you get to the last pillar and your ranged attackers will prepare their attack... Garuda will follow you to the last pillar and once you go past it it will turn around and fly back. If you let go of r2 too soon they will finish their attack before Garuda retreats and get beat up, if you let go too late they won't be able to complete their attack at all.
Soon as it starts to fly back start running after it as fast as you can, but don't get too close to him.
Even though it is on its way back it won't aggro your party members who land their ranged attacks on it oddly enough.. as soon as their attacks land you need to hit R2 and start running at him again.
It is going to go all the way back to its start point before it will aggro anyone again.
If you get there too quickly he might aggro one of your party members, and this will turn out badly when you get to the end and let go of r2.. he will stay there and fight the party member he aggro'd.
If you take too long he will regen a bunch of hp..
If you time it just right he will aggro your party leader immediately and you rinse and repeat this for 45 min or so for a easy win. You won't take a single point of damage if you do this right.
I doubt you'll see this strategy posted anywhere else, because its my creation
