Sanctuary Keeper

I've just got to the top of Mt. Gagazet and now I'm facing the Sanctuary Keeper. I've got a few problems though, I only have 3 Hi-Potions, 9 Phoenix Downs, and I haven't got any Holy Waters to cure Curse. Has anyone got any tips on how to beat it, and where to get some more items without going half way down Gagazet again?

For Holy Waters, you are out of luck. Except for buying them, you can only get them by stealing from the large mechs in Zanarkand and Bevelle. I'd recommend going back into the caves and hunting there for the other items on your list.

The various Mechs (the ones that collapse when stolen from) can give you lots of different types of potions as well as Phoenix Down/Mega Phoenix when destroyed, and you can steal Mega Potions from the Grendels.

[Edit] As for actually killing it, make sure that at least one character has the Dispel ability. Also, apparently it isn't immune to Threaten, so you can leave it pinned there while you beat it up.

I have got the Dispel ability, but how will using it affect the keeper?

It is important because, IIRC, the Sanctuary Keeper casts Regen on itself after a while. If that does happen, you want to be able to stop it regenerating ASAP.

OK, I'll try it now.

ignore curse. it hasnt done anyfin 2 me in the past! (what does curse do?)

Rubedo: Don't forget to use Aeons for all they are worth!

Albedo: *Laughs maniacally* That is really all the advice we have right now.

Curse stops you from using your overdrive attacks.
Thankyou for the advice.

Also charge all your Aeon's overdrives, use them once for their attacks, and then let them get killed. That's always a nice tactic. And ofcourse, charge all your character's overdrives too.

That's one thing that I normally do, but can't be bothered. I suppose I'm gonna have to. Thankyou.

emily ive got an idea. hit it with every1 but yuna (get her 2 heal) use bahamut (it takes ages 2 kill him) and stuff the overdrives they r crap anyway!

Yeah, but I've got the Celsestial Weapon that makes Bahamut overdrive do Break Damage Limit, so it's worth it.
I ALMOST beat it. It had 3000+ HP left and then, the next round i went to hit it it magically had 25000+ HP again! :grumble:

which celestial wepon is that (batter it!)

I think it's Yuna's (Nirvana) But i have Tidus's aswell (Can't remember it's name, Galadbolg or something like that)

ive got them 2 (tidus's is caladbolg!) use bahamut and get his overdrive up then (aeons are immune 2 all status effects apart from K.O)
