Actually, I already have beaten Tiamat (otherwise, I couldn't have beaten Typhon.) It took me quite long before I got to see him! But he's worth it! 8000 exp and 32 000 gil! Woohoo! But still haven't got the blasting armor.

When you've seen him once, you have a higher chance to see him again, I noticed. Well, I keep trying.

Any ideas to get the Genji Shield if its available?
