Enemies: Bite Bug, Bunyip, Funguar, Gandarewa, Garm, Ochu, Snow Flan, Ixion (boss).
Ochu Strategy: Ochu is the strongest new fiend, weak to Fire. Its attacks can inflict Poison. Below 50% HP, it may use Ochu Dance, which can inflict Silence, Darkness, Confusion, and Slow. Ifrit is effective due to Fire affinity and status immunity.
Stealing: If Kimahri has Steal, use it on Gandarewa and Snow Flan for guaranteed items, and on other monsters (except Ochu) for a chance at good items.
Boss: Ixion
Ixion's Properties: HP: 6,000, AP (Overkill): 0, Gil: 0, Steal: None, Drops: None, Equipment Drop Rate: 0%, Slots (Abilities): 0, Elemental Weaknesses: None, Elemental Resistances: Lightning (Absorbs), Gravity (Immune), Status Vulnerabilities: Doom, Poison Damage: Immune, Doom Count: 5.
Ixion Strategy: This is a Summoner duel. Ixion uses a normal attack, Aerospark (removes positive status effects), and Thor's Hammer (heavy damage when Overdrive gauge is full). Below 50% HP, Ixion casts Haste on itself. Use Valefor and Ifrit. Try to defeat Ixion with an Aeon Overdrive, especially for the last half of its HP. Ifrit can heal with Fire. Use Shield if Thor's Hammer is imminent.
