Tips

 * See testimonials and discussions.
 * By inflicting disease, a 10% stats break can be applied to the boss. Toxic Rain, Chaos Grenade, Shijin Spiral, and other status ailment skills will be effective.
 * Especially if going for the 5 turn clear, this is a damage race. The more damage you can bring in, the better off you are.
 * The boss must be killed on turn 4 if physical damage is being used as MS Splendor of Deflection will prevent any further damage on the following turn.
 * Build up a moderate amount of HP/SPR and have mitigation buffs in addition to other stat buffs for the non-damage dealers to combat any magic damage.
 * The following will be effective sources of killers: Golem, Ifrit, Stone Killer, Beast Killer, Grand Star.

Find a powerful Cid friend to clear this trial within four turns.

Cover physical on turn one and setup the finishers.

Try not to bring the boss below 75% health until you're ready to kill.

When Cid is ready to land on turn 3, apply Disease, build the chain, prepare a damaging limit burst, then cap with Cid. Moose should be killed if the Cid was strong enough.
