 Encountering Bosses & Enemies
How do I know which boss or enemy I'm fighting?
By pressing the SELECT button during a battle and highlighting
an enemy or boss, the moogle help screen aside the command command menu will display the
name. You can also activate the target menu by pressing L1 in battle, engaging an extra window
which will list enemies when selecting which to attack. Multiple enemies of the same type
are given letters to differentiate. For example, if you're encounter 2 Zuu's, they'll be
labelled Zuu A and Zuu B. To deactivate the help screen, simply press SELECT again. To
deactivate the target window, press L1 again.
 Acquiring AP
How do my abilities grow via AP after defeating an enemy or boss?
After defeating an enemy or boss, your equipment and active abilities gain the total AP collected
from each defeated monster. After an ability is acquired, it remains as a character trait
and can still be used even if the magic stones are removed or the ability unavailable from
a different equipping.

This boss will dish out a few attacks, then run away. Although attacking can help fend him off, you're better off healing your party.

Antlion will pound your party with standstorm attacks, however the attack itself cannot kill your party. It can only take your party HP down to a minimal value. Since this repeated attack will make curing your party useless, simply reserve Phoenix Downs to bring back slain party members. Attack physically and cast ice-elemental spells. There's no need to worry about party recovery at the end of the battle, as all swooned characters will be revived and all statuses restored.

Your third and final battle with Beatrix will once again, result in the hard defeat of your party. There's nothing to gain or lose in this battle, so unless you need some equipment to steal, simply let her defeat you.

Ralvuimahgo can take heavy damage from phyiscal attacks and ice-element attacks, but he'll coil up and increase his defense significantly. Make sure you keep your attacks at bay while in this state or he'll react with a powerful earthquake spell that'll damage your party members significantly. Keep your party in good standing with recovery spells and keep an eye out for Ultra Sound Wave, which will shrink your character to mini-size. This status can be reversed using Mini or Remedy on the effected character, or when Ralvuimahgo uses the spell again on the same character.

Yank all the goodies you can with Zidane while having Vivi dish out hard magic and another non-magic user attacking physically. Keep in mind, Lani tends to Scan the party occasionally to determine weaknesses, although her resulting battle strategies aren't as targetted. Dagger will take many of Lani's hits, so make sure she recovers herself accordingly.

Soulgage, being an undead monster, can be dispatched in one hit by casting Life on it. However, if you wish to battle the hard way, use phyiscal attacks and holy magic to cut him down to size. Casting fire can hurt him significantly, but also "light up" the leaf attacks as fire blades, which will inflict greater damage on your party.

Trading off physical attacks for a few rounds, then following up with a recovery spell, then attacking again can easily take him out. Make sure you attack him only when he confronts you, as you'll miss if you go for him while he's hoping around (and he'll counter attack). Several of Zidane's attack skills are effective as well, such as Lucky Seven.
