Tips

 * See testimonials and discussions.
 * Apep uses a fire resistance debuff and many fire magic attacks. Use high fire resistance buff and a magic cover tank to counter this. Combined with offensive (ATK/MAG) break, it will do little damage to your party.
 * For status ailments, it primarily uses AoE poison and petrify, but on lower HP it can use single target paralyze and confusion. Use necessary protection against them.
 * It will cast reflect every turn. Dispel this before attempting to kill with magic or use either a lv8 spell or a spell that has ignore SPR as they bypass reflect, e.g. Tornado, Ultima, or Meteor.
 * Below 30% HP, he will heal 1,000,000 HP every turn so make sure to deal enough damage.
 * Crossing multiple thresholds in a turn will lead to Apep casting Serpent Glare as many times as the number of crossed thresholds
