Chapter 12 Margie's Rescue More...

ITEMS TO GET: None

   Before leaving Margie's room, be sure to save your game; the next battle can be kinda tricky. Equip the CobraCracka whip if you're not using it, and restore Bart's HP and EP completely. As soon as you leave Margie's room, Ramsus and Miang will enter, and you'll have to fight.

   You're really just fighting against Ramsus; all Miang does is to heal Ramsus (you can't even attack her). Margie does the same for Bart on your side, though. The trick to avoiding this is the CobraCracka -- it poisions Ramsus when you hit him with it, thus forcing Miang to waste her turn curing the poison instead of healing. Just keep attacking Ramsus with Rhythm Shock (Square, X) until he uses Mirror Stance. If you attack him while he's in Mirror Stance, he'll use a powerful counterattack, so don't do it. Just heal up, and then keep casting Wild Smile on him (don't bother with Heaven Cent, it only does 1 damage) to lower his accuracy. By the time he ends Mirror Stance, his accuracy should be so low he can rarely hit you. Then just keep attacking him until Fei shows up.

   Bart trades some more insults with Ramsus, the fight begins anew. Unfortunately, Ramsus is now immune to poison, so there's no way to stop Miang from healing him... on the other hand, you have two characters now. Use both characters' Square, X attacks, and have Fei use Inner Healing to heal. When Ramsus does Mirror Stance, Bart should use Wild Smile again, and Fei should cast Iron Valor repeatedly to build his attack power. Miang will heal Ramsus during this time, but after Ramsus de-Mirror Stances, you should be able to finish him off.

   Margie summons a bunch of rats to distract Ramsus, and the three of you escape into the elevator just as Dominia comes out of it. The elevator takes you down into the hangar underground. Just go east through the door, and the rest is automatic.
