Yesterday I spent a good amount of time in FFV trying to defeat one boss. If you haven't played this yet I guess it's not much of a spoiler, but eventually you'll come to a boss that consists of several bombs and when you kill one the other will revive the other before it dies or sometimes all the others. After a second time of seeing them being revived I knew I had to take them out by killing them all at once this took several tries. At first I was deciding to use a Summoner, with a black mage and beastmaster, but I had realized that my Bartz level as a Summoner was too low to summon Shiva which I had just recently obtained.
From that point I changed to two black mages and a time mage. I used the time mage to haste the black mages and just let the black mages blizzara the bombs to death. This did not work however because as some died earlier than others. I changed tactics again and this time went with three black mages. This didn't work either. The bombs didn't die fast enough and some used self-destruct before I could kill any of them myself. Again I changed tactics and went back with the two black mage and time mage set up this time I used the time mage to speed up only 1 black mage and herself, but also to stop the bombs with...stop. This was working until one bomb had self-destructed. I was thinking it was probably just luck and it was so I tried the same tactics and this time one of the bombs decided to physically attack me instead. On my next turn I was able to kill them all at once with Bartz's next turn.
I was wondering did anyone else use the same tactic? If not what did you use and how long did it take you to come to this tactic and beat this boss?
