 * Healers such as Refia and Y'shtola are recommended. (Or even Dangerous Ariana with Cura from Carbuncle if you already have Encore from a previous attempt)
 * Be sure to equip accessories such as White Cape or Ribbon to your mages as the boss frequently inflict silence. Siren's Robe is also an option.

General Tips

 * Starting at the Lobby, a single Metal Minituar will drop. Corridor will drop a single Metal Cactuar. Waiting Room will drop 1-2 Metal Cactuars. The Main Hall will drop a Metal Gigantuar.
 * It never hurts to bring Locke while farming for his Treasure Hunter ability.
 * The most efficient farming level for awakening materials is Entrance level.
 * The most efficient farming level for Cactuars, Notes, and awakening materials is Lobby.
 * You will likely have a better Music Note drop rate per energy in the Main Hall, because the boss seems to always have a drop. The drop seems to usually be a Music Note, and very often it drops DOUBLE music notes; whereas, the Lobby boss often gives no drops at all, and when it does, it is often an awakening material.
 * The Main Hall has a better exp/energy ratio than the Chamber of Experience in the Vortex when considering the Metal Gigantuar. With 3,310 exp per energy, it's very close to Cactuar Dunes (~3,333 exp per energy).
