Twintania is destroying me. I guess I could grind for a couple coral rings to survive tidal wave. Any other tips for a Knight - Thief - Black Mage - Beastmaster party?

I've got a Black Mage.....
I tried everything except for Bio of course...........Seems I was trolling myself.
Even had the Poison Rod equipped.
You can hit him with instant death or toad when he's charging his laser.

Cool, did not know that. I'll give that a shot!
Sure you kind of expect the first boss of rift to pale to the later ones but Calofisteri is so easy. Sure I guess she drained back some hp here and there but the beats just kept rolling. Solune doesn't care about your drain (though getting hit with old really sucks).
We are sure being underestimated. I think a real panda would of been more difficult. A recycled Byblos is no problem.
Yes. Yes we are. Picked up Thor's Hammer between Apanda and Azul. Now Faris can get full back row damage. There's not much to say about this boss. Didn't get hit with any particularly dangerous Blue magic, even had Solune take Berserk as his sub skill and just went RTSD on the guy.
Catastrophe now this guy has a name to match his disposition. Earth Shaker nearly kills everybody and it's impossible to take two so I wound up just going all in and hoping he wouldn't use that move. It worked out on the second try, taking only one Earth Shaker. By the next turn I had barely won with berserked units no less.
After reverting back into humans, there isn't much to this fight. Just beat him quick before he starts mauling you with his strangely powerful attacks.
Last year I turned Twintania into a shaky toad. This year, turned into stone. Luckily I had some method of cheesing the gigaflare mode once again. I tried surviving it but even with 30% HP+ it wasn't enough. Four coral rings and a couple Aegis shields made this much easier than last year when I only packed one coral ring.
Gilgamesh our bro returns.
A lot tougher than last year without a Samurai just throwing money at all life's problems. Took a good couple attempts to get it. Bahamut spam and some lucky Berserker attacks nailed the barriers one by one. And Gilgabro finishes it off.
Only Exdeath left to go.

Enemies use the abilities on their "control" list randomly when confused. For enemies that have 3 variations on attack and then something special this can be frustrating, but it can be done.
To go along with that, I'm pretty sure tidal wave is a counter to physical damage, so just wait out the charge.
WHAT? I sat there forever trying to get one to cast White Wind and it never did (with confuse). WTF
EDIT: I refuse to believe this. Someone make a video.

That would probably explain why I was getting destroyed so fast. Thanks for the tips!
It's a 1/4 on most of them. The other 3/4 times they'll usually hit themselves.
You can try blinding them or even heal them.
Heh, I did exactly this. Sleep then Black magic till dead.
Rune Chime is so baws.

Fork tower has been mixed this time. I made the Minotaur actually cast holy which was fun. Omniscient sucks without magic. I'm bouncing off silence with mage masher then hitting with !Gaia...the half the time Wind Slash happens, yay. The other half of Sonic boom, blah. Shame the Silence part taking variable amount of time makes it another tug of war...as long its faster than 5 hours.
Edit: I was thinking. Its a good thing Omniscient can't confuse himself. Imagine him hitting himself then casting return as a counter *suhdder*. Then again the game might not work like that as a confused monk can't hit itself then counter itself...

I might start up a hard mode run tomorrow just to try it out, just had my first victory certified
Melvin and co. meet with the Board of Directors.
He convinces them to side with him, and vote to remove The Boss from office. They ask Melvin to deliver the news personally.
Sorry, it deleted my first 3 pics for some reason.

Not much left to do, I think I'll head straight to Exdeath tomorrow. Oh, and Halicarnassus was much more difficult than I anticipated.

Blue Mage at the earth crystal is amazingly crap. Oh Kawazu.

Well, all good things must come to an end, as Melvin and co. finally confront the boss. But first, an old friend: The Secretary, destitute and filthy, living on the streets.
He points the party towards The Boss's hiding place, atop a monstrous tree.
The Boss launches into an all-out attack when he hears that The Board has elected to oust him, but Melvin and Krile show him the true power of Drinking and Chemistry, while Lenna and Faris pelt him with flames. However, just as he's about to expire, he reveals his true form: a hellish demon.
But by this time, Melvin is so drunk, and his companions so powerful, that the ensuing battle lasts less than 5 minutes.
With The Boss eliminated, Melvin becomes the new boss, and dedicates the company to restoring and protecting the environment. After his long adventure, Melvin is ready for a vacation.

I'd like to thank !Drink, !Mix, Odin, Break Spellblade, and Flare Spellblade for this easy victory.
After my Black Mages toasted Magissa in record time, I decided to attempt a complete Bestiary run (sans the add'l GBA content) in honor of the Muscle Bound Widowers Fund (and, of course, for the children). My party (Black Mage, Red Mage, Bard & Chemist) has rendered most of this challenge actually pretty easy, though I am dreading Omega.
One question I have though relates to the Magic Pot. If you feed it the Elixirs it wants, does it show up in the Bestiary as being defeated? Or am I going to have to get extraordinarily creative on this one?

Elixir puts him in the Bestiary, just checked.
Thank you!
What's your party? If you have toad or instant death, you can use it during the gigaflare phase to cheese Twintania out.
I do not, Monk/Mystic Knight/Ranger/Dancer, I'm pretty much all physical.
Thief / Zerk / Geo / Chemist
I'm rolling Zerk / Geo / Chemist since Lenna isnt here. Unless I can get her already?
Mystic Knight-OHKO with Holy Blade.
Holy spellblade rapid fire not cutting it? You can always just Magic Lamp odin during giga flare if all else fails.

I think !Spellblade Break works on Twintania during its GigaFlare charge-up phase.
You can leave. put escape on your theif or whoever, and run from all the battles to get out of the rift. should only take a few minute to get back to the regular world.

Is there a bug with the Blue Dragons in Exdeath's Castle? I fought "a" Blue Dragon that seemed to be three(or more?) Blue Dragons stacked on top of each other.

If you look down by the party it says Blue Dragon 3 and when you kill one it drops to 2 etc...I guess they wanted you to fight 3 but the sprites are too big
There is a monster in box later on (which does not appear in the Bestiary*) the does a similar thing during battle.
*-Its random out of two which one you fight and they only appear in one chest so they would impede 100% Bestiary if they were included, so they are excluded.
Wow, this actually worked. I was able to just run all the way out of the Rift.
Remember, Spellblade Silence incapacitates Omniscient!
