 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.

It's strongly reccomended you attempt to fight this boss on Disc 3, during the attack on Alexandria. If you've been stealing a lot with Zidane, then this fight should be pretty easy. Make sure everyone has Antibody equipped before you fight. Have Zidane use Thievery to damage Tantarian enough to make it show itself. Tantarian is not nearly as ferocious when he shows himself. Use this opportunity to Steal, heal your characters up, and damage Tantarian with magic. Don't attack Tantarian with a physical attack or it'll go and hide again. As long as Tantarian is found it's only attack will be Poison, which will be completly harmless to your characters.

You fight Quale once Quina has captured 99 Frogs. Though Quale's stats seem intimidating, he's actually quite a pushover. Most of his attacks is just status magic, and when he does damage you it's nothing you really need to worry about. Hack away with everything you've got at Quale and he should go down easily. You might not even have to heal anyone during this fight, but you should anyways just in case Quale somehow surprises you.

Battle Preperation
You'll want to have as much auto regenerative ability stones equipped to your characters as possible. Auto-Life, Auto-Potion and Auto-Regen are must haves. HP increasing stones, such as HP+20% are also helpful. The strongest weapons and armor you have will need to be equipped. Equipping the add-on Pumice Piece to your party members is extremely important to protect against Shadow.
Ozma will attempt to silence your magic casters, so make sure they all have the Loudmouth stone equipped. He'll also try to inflict status damages as well, so equipping stones such as Antibody and Clear Headed are recommended.
It's also recommended you work your ideal attack party for this fight up close to their Trance modes, to take advantage of their skills.
Battle Engagement
Luck is a major factor in winning this battle. Although your characters may strike for powerful damage against what seems to be a small number of total hit points, Ozma will unleash a horde of attacks to eliminate you. The key is to keep on top of his attacks immediately after he inflicts them upon you. If any party member has at least half their HP, you can be sure they'll be the first the go down. Double magic attacks are extremely helpful and keeping your party fully healed at all times is necessary. Make sure you heal constantly with magic, skills, Eidolions, and items. This is the toughest battle in the game, so when it comes to using your items and skills, you definately want to splurge. If you have any Dark Matter in stock, use it as much as possible. It will deal a full 9999 damage.

Hades isn't too much of a threat against your party due to his slow response time and weak attacks. Devote a party member to recovery items or spells while the rest dish out attacks.
