Talk:Attack of Gilgamesh

how come my gilgamesh so hard to kill, it keep on bursting all the skill, damaging multiple times and ignore the taunt effect. Even i did seal of all his skill, but his other attack keep bursting out.

Notable Units Addition
One character that really helped me beat Gilgamesh is Y'shtola. I think she should be added to the Notable Units list.

Simply put, she's a jack of all trade and really useful for this fight.


 * She has Dualcast
 * She can buff with Protectga/Shellga
 * She can cover Earth/Wind/Holy elements (More depending on the esper/materia she's equipped with)
 * She can raise/heal
 * Her LB, Aetherial Pulse, can help mitigate HP Thresholds if Golem alone is not enough.

Gilgamesh Offensive win strategy (2018)  kinda easy once get it win! by FalconX

> Party: Wilhelm +carby esper, Fohlen +titan esper, Rikku +ramah esper, Tilith +lakisha, Demon Rain +ifrit. friend: Orlando(excaliber + water sword)

> Party setup: Tank =Wilhelm (def762 + safety bit + thunder shield + dualcast for dispel/banish), Fohlen (vernard/fire sword + lightbringer/light sword + use sonic blast /wind ability +3shadows),  Rikku (rubber suit, army shield, red ring, prodigy glasses + lb ability equip + null paralyze + resist thunder15),  Tilith (mp588  for main heal),  Demon Rain (excaliber + mighty hammer + fira sword ability equip)

> Round1: Wilhelm (general battlecry for lb fill+ rikku),  Rikku (synthesis), Tilith (atk/def/mag/spr+ buff on party),  Demon rain (Fire blade), Fohlen (Sonic blast). friend: orlando (divine ruination)

Basically 100-80% just get buffs up, doing about 20% dmg if chained but did solo atks to measure hp. Had demon rain equipped w/ magic counter hat. He was going nuts doing like 8% hp dmg on counters from boss hits. Got down to 1% but didnt want to risk wipe so just killed boss. was going for lb kill/finish. Orlando lb stopped at 1% no sweat!! got sword.

Didnt know this b4 but using water 3 diffrent times dmg, will cause boss to take a 1round break. Friend orlando had water sword equip, so used break in a round w/ no dmg.

Had Orlando use magic break on boss b4 his thresholds. Magic break only debuff works. Demon rain got paralyzed last couple rounds. rest of party had resist gear... went on w/o rain last 8%hp.

> Wilhelm is nice w/ dualcast, if Gilgamesh does threshold 100%DEF/SPR+ move, then cast Dispel & banish for light removal. He basically just dispelled every round if needed. other than 1st round, if need use battlecry later on if safe.

> Rikku just uses NullAll if buffs are down after threshold, Use lb reraise after 1st threshold used. After! dispelga all buffs if b4.

> Fohlen uses sonic blast, demon rain uses fira blade equip ability. Orlando uses divine ruination. Tilith was mainly full healing party, used mp AoE 1x when she had full hp still. Have fun, finally got win!! --Gogamer2018 (talk) 00:30, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Excalibur cannot be evaded?
I just saw the comments saying that Excalibur cannot be evaded. Does anyone know why? (it being hybrid damage should mean it can be evaded) If this has been confirmed, do I assume correctly that this will break putting a 100% dodge unit with safety bit on auto to win this battle? --Dreamer2329 (talk) 03:08, 20 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Where did you hear this? Not that I've done it myself, but the only thing that can't be evaded is the death, I've heard of people using 100% evade provoke carries being used.
 * To answer the other part; yes. If the first part is true having a 100% evade unit with safety bit will be able to just auto attack him to death for a very slow but easy win. --Zyga Icon-Empress Birch.png *crack* 07:29, 20 May 2017 (UTC)


 * "Where did you hear this" -> It's stated in the first point of this article's "Evade Cheese" section.
 * Haven't confirmed it myself though, thus the question :)

 * I just beat Gil with auto-attack Chizuru (100% dodge, Excalibur, Safety Bit). I also had my doubts re: Excalibur (the move) so afterwards, I tried without Excalibur (the great sword) and died - for whatever reason, Excalibur (the move) cannot be evaded. Excalipher (the pre-80% version) is dodgeable, though.

 * Awesome, thanks so much for confirming Abmtong! :)

 * I realize I'm a little late to this, but I've been testing this out myself. It looks like both Excalipher and Excalibur can connect, even with 100% evade. I'm not sure why you were able to avoid Excalipher, but I stalled as long as I could in the 80%+ range and got it to kill my evade unit. The Holy counter from RotL tends to seal it more often than not.
 * In addition, both Electrocute and Whirlwind Blade apply Paralyze, which can proc even if the attack is missed, and negate the unit's Evade. I think this may not have come up before because most people are using Assassin's Vest in their evade build, which prevents it.
