| STEAL: 25% |Common: Phoenix Down x99 |Rare: Phoenix Down x99 |

| LOCATION(S):| 1. [BOSS] Mission 9-6-6. |
|=============================================================================|
| ATTACKS: | ZACK's VIT & SPR: 255 & 255 + BARRIER + MBARRIER|
| ======== '=================================================|
| Moment Slash [Physical Attack, 1st Hit: Max 4520 Damage, 2nd Hit: Max 5725|
| Damage. Double Damage if your Luck is below 155] |
| Photon Feather [Physical Attack, Max 2712 Damage*x] |
| Crimson Flare [Magical Attack, Max 30148 Damage] BLOCK THIS for ~3k DMG.|
| Cocytus [Magical Attack, Max 14322 Damage] |
| Thor Hammer [Magical Attack, Max 21534 Damage] |
| Ultima [Magical Attack, casting time is only 2 secs, BLOCK AGAINST |
| THIS or it does 99999 Damage, With Block: Max 64583 Damage] |
| Anti Material [Physical Guard for 20 seconds, Casts in 1 sec] |
| Anti Magic [Magical Guard for 20 seconds, Casts in 1 sec] |
| Absolute Barrier [Invincibility for 20 seconds, Casts in 2 sec] |
| Blessing Light [Recovers some HP, Casts in 1.3 sec] |
| Judgement Arrow [Physical Attack, Reduces HP/MP/AP, Scene, No Block, |
| Max 33150 Damage, Ignores all status effects except |
| Invincibility] |
|=============================================================================|
|Strategy: Come equipped with the Genji Shield (or Protect Ring), Genji Armor,|
|--------- Genji Glove, Genji Helm (or Ziedrich) as explained above. While |
|Minerva has a ton of attacks (only 11 actually, but I like to exxagerate),|
|there are only two attacks that you should REALLY watch out for, which are|
|Ultima and Judgement Arrow. You know how to recognize Ultima, and when you|
|suspect it's coming, be sure to BLOCK. If you don't block, Ultima *will* do|
|99999 damage and it'll either kill you or use up your ReRaise status, if you|
|still have it. Judgement Arrow is the sequence which looks admittedly awesome|
|and does not only deal a fair amount of damage, but also negates all your|
|status effects, more specifically ReRaise! (It doesn't negate the Auto status|
|effects, which is why we have our precious Genji equipped). But the negation|
|of ReRaise is troublesome. Right after this attack, quickly dive into your|
|items and use a Phoenix Down. This counters the attack. Also heal immediately|
|after. |
|Keep the above in mind, and you can start the battle. When the battle begins,|
|be sure to kick in a bunch of Costly Punches (of which you need to deliver|
|at the very least 101, but most likely more because of Minerva's healing|
|abilities). You should steal the 99 Phoenix Downs somewhere at the start of|
|the fight, if not right away, so you're sure you have a healthy supply of|
|those. Be sure to keep your HP above 65000+. If you keep it above that figure|
|you're essentially fine if you block her Ultima. Keep attacking, dodge her|
|attacks as much as you can (or maybe better, block them), and keep delivering|
|your Costly Punches. After some time, she'll do her thing and Judgement|
|Arrow'll negate ReRaise. You know what to do, just use another Phoenix Down. |
|When she casts Ultima, block block! (If you're REALLY precise, dodge it..) |
|The fight will certainly last a while, but literally don't let your guard|
|down and you will come out victorious. |
