Strategy:

Gergoth is a massive, slow-moving boss. Its laser beam is very powerful; hide behind its legs or body to avoid it. The stomp creates a shockwave you must jump over. The tail swipe is telegraphed; jump over it. The body slam is also telegraphed; move away from its landing spot. The key to this fight is staying close to its legs and attacking its body. When it prepares a laser, move to its other side. This is a battle of attrition, so manage your HP and MP carefully. After defeating it, you gain the Gergoth Soul (Bullet), which fires a powerful laser.
