I remember having a bit of trouble with him the first time I played the game, but not much. Of course, the first time I played I was probably a little bit overleveled at that point, from trying to gain as many skills as possible. The only other time I remember having trouble with him was a low-level run.

there is a really easy, almost cheap way, of killing every boss up to, and including, soul cage if you have quina in your party. Limit Glove. the boss I find hardest in 9 is the earth guardian.

The only reason I found him hard was because I was constantly trying to steal from him. He carries one of the 3 Lvl 2 Black magic rods which takes forever to steal. It's a hassle because you can't kill him while trying to steal it, or you miss the change to get an Ice Rod until Disc 2.
Mr. Shauna my offical stratagy guide says that you get magnus hat and elixar stealing from Gizmaluke. It might be wrong, other than that ice staff is in a chest in Cleya trunk. black waltz 3 2nd round has flame staff to steal. some places say it can be bought in Treno as well, not sure on that one. may have to play through to those points to be sure.

You can definitely get the Ice Staff.
Yeah, that's the main reason I have so much trouble. I'm too busy stealing, and Zidane is the main point taker.

This was the boss I got stuck on because I was an impatient kid who didn't want to grind. I plan to rectify this in my current playthrough. I'd like to see more of the game for a change.
I've never found him very hard, just a pain to steal everything from. Then again, I'm probably always overleveled at that stage in the game since I usually get Quina and get him/her some blue magic abilities before going into Gizamaluke's Grotto.
Bosses aren't hard. Stealing from bosses is hard. I've fought Hilgigars for over an hour trying to get that dang flute. Everyone tranced three times.
Those Lamia's were irritating. smurf those Entice!
Gizamaluke wasn't hard for me. I think on my first or second playthrough I already knew about the tent trick, but in recent years I haven't bothered with it. Vivi always gets his Trance during this fight for some reason and Quina takes the most damage out of anyone. I think Vivi has high evasion. I think the most that's ever happened to me during this is Quina getting KO'd and hardest boss goes to Ozma by default.
All you have to do is cast Mighty Guard and you'll hardly take damage.the boss I find hardest in 9 is the earth guardian.

cast mighty guard...hmm dont think i ever tried that. normally I try a couple of different strategys before having zidane go trance and nuking earth guardian.
Hillgigas has something useful.. huh. I guess I need to play this again. been about 2 years since I played 9 which is far too long.

I always run to chocobo forest first so by the time I get to gizamaluke I'm leveled a bit more. Well you go get choco then you go get quina and by the time you get there you have a few more battles under your belt than you would if you just ran there. Plus if you got the chocographs you'll have a few more goodies too.
