"Gilgamesh" Elite Mark !SPOILER!

[Gokalia]

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has any pointers on fighting the Gilgamesh for the second time? (SPOILER)"I found him in Lhusu Mines 7 after I got the Site 11 Key at the Phon Coast"

[McLovin']

BUBBLE BUBBLE BUBBLE!!!

Constant buffs as he is a quick 8 armed bastard.

[Glitch]

Buffs are useful, and that doggie of his is a pain the second time around. I'd take out the mutt before focusing on Gilgamesh. It's probably a good idea to steal some genji equipment from him, too. That's what I forgot to do when I fought him. Doesn't matter now, though. I accidently overwrote my game with my boyfriend's file... I was level 76, bestiary about 98%... He was only level 10 at Lhusu Square... I couldn't help but giggle when I noticed what I did! So... I restarted my game. Now I can get the zodiac spear, genji armor... And all that other easy to miss stuff.

[The Unknown Guru]

The second time, Enkidu is a huge pain. To take him out, give someone a Nihopalaoa and hit him with a Remedy, giving him just about every status ailment. Just take him out after that, although he wont be doing much damage anyways.

Once Enkidu is dead, the fight is pretty straightforward. Buffs are a huge help, and Bubble helps even more. However, Gilgamesh is fast, and he occasionally gets 3-4 hit combos and uses Monarch Sword to dish out big damage. Just Arise and keep fighting and he will eventually go down.

Genji armor sucks, only the gloves are worth it

Your mileage may vary on status effects and combos.

I remember gilgamesh throwing out quite a few 5+ combos... and the only thing his pup got hit with was sleep, oil, and maybe 2 other status effects if memory serves, not all of them. Of course gilgamesh is immune to all.

Dispel both, kill the dog, then kill Gilgamesh.
Fight him once to see his level X status effects, then find a level you like leveling up on the enemies outside so that those status effects won't affect you.

[Hazzard]

What level would you most advise to be around, when fighting Gilgamesh for the first and second time? (70, maybe?)

[ValiantKnight]

38-39 for the first fight, and he was not all that hard.

41-43 for the second fight, and he took quite a while, and was a long fight, but I still beat him.

[Hazzard]

wahhhhh...I'm in my very late 40's for all of my team except Vaan who is 1 level away from 60.

[ValiantKnight]

Any level is fine above probably the low 30s.
It just moves from extremely difficult to rather easy as you level.

[Pete for President]

I beat the second fight today with an average party-level of 59. Gambits pretty much did all the work.

[Hazzard]

Hey, Pete--what level was your party the first time?

[Pete for President]

Hey, Pete--what level was your party the first time?

First fight I was at 56 as an average I think, that was really easy. I tried to get to the second fight at that level too, but the enemies beyond area 11 are quite a pain when they gang up on you, so I trained some more before heading back in.

[Gokalia]

Vaan lv. 67
Balthier lv. 9
Fran lv. 60
Ashe lv. 61
Basch lv.67

You'll win easily with a proper gambit-setup. Handy tip; your mage will use a lot of mana keeping all those buffs up, when you run out of mana, use "syphon" on your berserker (which I assume you use) to restore it.
