If you are able to make your other fighters into lancers or monks with earth clothes, I would suggest it. They should spread out so as to avoid Velius' attacks, and the Lancers should jump out of harm's way whenever they move. Have your priest stay out of the way and shoot at Velius when possible, but she'll probably spend most of her time raising the fallen. Don't get her killed, probably a good idea to cast reraise on her a.s.a.p. Holy works very well on the Demons. Your Wizard should also come in with White Magic or Item, you'll need the extra healing. If any Magic users have ShortCharge, equip it; you can't spend too much time charging spells. Keeping your troops spread out is the most important thing. Hopefully you won't suffer more than one casualty at a time. If I could make a suggestion, never have only one save game file...I hope you have another, older saved game in case you try 20 times to no avail. Others will have other suggestions for you to try. Good luck!!!
