Alright, so you've made it to the Omega Ruins and stumbled upon the Zaurus. Don't let its lizard-like appearance fool you; it's a tough one, especially with its high evasion and magic defense. We'll get you prepped to take it down!
Stats / Weaknesses:
- HP: 7,850
- Overkill HP: 11,775
- AP: 5,000
- Weaknesses: None
- Strengths: None
Item Drops:
- Common Drop: Speed Sphere
- Rare Drop: Speed Sphere (x2)
- Common Steal: Petrify Grenade (x2)
- Rare Steal: Petrify Grenade (x3)
Strategy:
- Since the Zaurus has high evasion, characters with high Accuracy are your best bet for landing physical hits. Don't bother with magic; its magic defense is too high, and it has no elemental weaknesses to exploit.
- The Zaurus only attacks with a normal physical strike. Keep an eye out, as this attack can inflict Silence or even Petrification on your party members. Make sure you have ways to cure these status ailments, or better yet, equip gear that protects against them.
- Focus on dealing consistent physical damage. With its HP, it might take a few rounds, but keep up the pressure and you'll eventually bring it down.
Tips
- If you're struggling to hit it, consider equipping abilities that boost Accuracy or using items that temporarily increase it.
- Having a character with the 'Auto-Life' ability can be a lifesaver if you get Petrified unexpectedly.
- Don't forget to try and steal those Petrify Grenades, especially if you need them for your own use or to inflict status effects on other enemies.
