ps im plying thought just at (SPOILER)gismalukes grotto any tips on beating the boss?
Instead of wasting a tent on old Gizamaluke just use Soul Blade with Zidane. You have to have the Ogre weapon though (just buy it in Lindblum). Soul Blade will blind Giz and make most of his physical attacks useless and that means less healing.
