    Tiamat was by far the most annoying boss in the whole game. The attacks that it casts that cause your stats to go down made that battle HELLACIOUSLY long. I think it took me 35 minutes to beat it. Luckily I had it silenced so it couldn't do all of its primary wind attacks and was limited to physical attacks and the status reducing attacks. Still a very annoying battle.

    What was the thing in the Sky Chocobo Tresure place, that big round thing that you can choose to fight, he was the hardest.

    I have to say that Necron was the hardest boss for me, for some reason, whenever he did Grand Cross, it always leveled my characters. Ozma was easy to me; I used Freya, Zidane, Eiko, and Steiner and made Freya use Dragon's Crest, Steiner use Shock, Eiko heal, and Zidane steal or use Dark Matter. Since I had 99 Pheonix Downs, Phoenix always revived my characters. Freya's Dragon Crest technique does the same damage even when she's in Mini status and with just the right weapon it does 9999 always. I got this strategy off a website but I can't remember which one, but I've never lost!

    The name escapes me, for it has been awhile since I finished FF9...But the dude the boss in gizmaluke's grotto, the big lizardish thing (I think he was a huge lizard, my memory is pretty bad) but I just couldn't take him down for a long ass time...I hadn't leveled my characters much, was running away from most fights I got into, and kept dying.

    That would be Master Gizmaluke.

    Ozma is, without a shadow of a doubt, the most difficult boss in the game. In my case, strategy was rendered useless; I had to rely purely on luck.

    And even those they aren't bosses, those evil, devious, icky, monstrous, dispicable Yans get my vote as the most frustrating enemies in the game. I abhor those sheeplings of death...

    I haven't tried beating Ozma yet, so... Necron. He was REALLY hard for me to beat, mainly because of the whole status effect thing. Gah, that was annoying.

    Tiamat was annoying, mainly because it could blow you off the screen, but ozma was the hardest

    LORD GIZAMALUKE.

    I haven't gotten to fight Ozma or Necron..or any of them yet. But so far..., that is the first boss enemy that actually killed me. I am at the point where you have to find these plates or something on disc 3.
    I see some people had difficulty with Beatrix.., hmm, she never gave me a problem... I got past her first time each time I had to face her. *shrug*
    Lamia's Tiara- Headgear in FFIX
    Lamia's Flute- Weapon for Eiko in FFIX
    Lamia in FFV- a enemy
    appearance: a lady with long brown hair, wearing a tiara...half woman and half snake.
    Lamia in FF3j- A Harp
    Lamia in FFL2- An enemy
    FF2j Queen Lamia, at one point she even gets Frionel in a bedroom with her and jumps on the bed and says "take me!".. before she turns into her snakey self. She serves as a mini boss in this game (as Queen Lamia).. and after you fight her as a mini boss, regular lamia's become random foes and later on in the game, Queen Lamia's become random foes as well.
    LamiaScl. an item that paralyzes foes.
    According to legend, she was once a Libyan queen (or princess) who fell in love with Zeus. Zeus' jealous wife Hera deformed her into a monster and murdered their offspring. She also made Lamia unable to close her eyes, so that she couldn't find any rest from the obsessing image of her dead children. When Zeus saw what had be done to Lamia, he felt pity for her and gave his former lover a gift: she could remove her eyes, and then put them on again. This way, though sleepless, she could rest from her misfortune. Lamia envied other the other mothers and took her vengeance by stealing their children and devouring them.

    Necron, and the 3rd beatrix were hardest for me when I first played...Beatrix mainly because I got screwed over with the Zorn and Thorn. All of my characters in the yellow and no healing items. So it pains me to say but I cheated to get by her. Then on Necron....I could barely touch him before he killed me! I Don't even remember getting by deathguise. So Alas I also cheated on Necron.

    Gameshark: Boss with 0 hp code. That didnt work. When I tried the last kuja He disappeared and my characters just sat there. So...
    I checked a video tape my friend had on gameshark codes and I changed the last part of the code.

    000 to 001
    so they would only have 1 hp...you get the idea.

    I hate how I cheated, so I'm going through it without cheating. Lost my old memory card so I had to start ALL the way over, which I wanted to do...since I havent played ff9 in over 2 years. I think I like this game a tiny bit more than ff7. :P Right now after 5 days of playing i'm on disc 3 the treno tourament. So got a long ways to go.

    Also: when is the best time to start up on the Ozma sidequest?

    Tiamat is a jerk..:P
    I'm Currently making a videogame. Go to www.freewebs.com/blackmarblestudios to see how its going.

    You want to know who is hard? The Tantarian in the Alexandria library. I still haven't beaten that thing and I've tried roughly 15 times now.

    I beat that thing the last time I played. It was pretty tough, I had to revive my characters a lot of times, but I killed it.
