Well, since I'm away from town and this computer (only here for the weekend), I can't just instantly fire up a character-editor and... correct the odds in that fashion. :o Hey, don't look at me like that! ... Well, not NOW, anyway. So...

Party: Cloud, Aeris, Red XIII
Location: Temple of the Ancients
HP-range: 1200-1600
Levels: 30-33
Damage dealt by Demon's Gate (and the damn red eye-blobs in the 3 o'clock room), standard attack: 1400
(That Red Dragon-thing was defeated by force of will alone - shoulda seen this problem coming.)

Do the math... Goin' back to a previous save to level up and invest in a million HP Plus-materias. Any suggestions for a reasonable level/HP to tackle this SOB? I'm thinking 2000-2500-ish HP.
