    Default Burn book thingie!

    Is there a way to beat the book thing you find in the Alexandria Castle library right before it is destroyed? I'm asking this here because I don't want to download a FAQ that would spoil the game for me...thank you!

    Steal: Ether, Elixir, Silver Fork, Demon’s Mail.
    Difficulty: Tough
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    Let me explain Tantarian’s pattern. Tantarian will be hiding in a 200 pages
    book. You can only find him on the pages 150-200. Now to reach the pages, you
    have to damage him. Because of his incredible defense, you will deal
    extremelly low damages. Now, each times you attack him, the damage points are
    added to the total damage you already dealed on him. You need to reach the
    pages between 150 and 200, in order to make Tantarian appear out of the book.
    Note that if the total damage you deal on him goes from under 150 to over
    200, the pages are reset to 0. Now let me list his attacks. While in the
    book, the boss will use three attacks; Paper Storm, which is quite deadly,
    dealing over 700 points on party; Edge, which deals around 800 points on one
    target and; Doom, number 10 is put over one target’s head. As it reaches 0,
    it’s Death. While Tantaria is discovered, he will only use Poison, which is
    nothing to worry about when you got Antibody. To win, I recommand you to put
    all your characters in back row to weaken the boss’s damage potential by
    half. If you are fighting the enemy in Disc 3, then your party will be made
    of Zidane, Freya, Vivi, and Amarant. Have Freya cast Rei’s Wind on party to
    then support. Amarant will help Freya to support the party as well. While in
    the book form, Tantarian’s quite dangerous so it’s a good idea to rely on two
    characters to heal. With Zidane and Vivi, they should both be attacking the
    book form(Zidane with physical attacks and Vivi with Fira). As you catch
    Tantarian out of the pages, STOP attacking with physical attacks. If you do,
    Tantarian will yell "Ouch!" to then hide right back in the book, forcing you
    to open it to the right pages again. Instead, just have Vivi casts Fira over
    and over. Don’t do anything else, don’t even use Amarant’s Throw ability,
    which will be considered like a physical offense, allowing Tantarian to
    escape in his pages. After a few turns though, the book will close itself so
    you will have to do the process again, without changing anything of the
    strategy. Eventually, you will be victorious. What do you get out of this
    battle? The opportunity of getting some Sprint Shoes(Auto-Haste).
    There you are, with no spoilers.

    Thank you very much! Now, since I couldn't beat him before the castle was destroyed, I wanted to ask: will I find him again?

    The only times you can battle Tantarian are when Zidane, Freya and Vivi return to Alexandria after Cleyra, and again when Zidane, Freya, Vivi and Amarant are searching for Garnet during Bahamut's attack.

    Aargh. I hate it when things pass and you can't go back to them

    Well, I suppose I'll get Auto-Haste from some other object.

    The Running Shoes are the only item that teaches Auto-Haste. You can get them later on though.
