niks FFVI low level, natural magic challenge

[lovehurts]

I'm still having trouble with flame eater. His fireball attack completely wipes out my party. I've only ever survived it once (strago survived with 9 health.) I need help with this.

Edit: Is this even possible?

DOnt give up please nik. YOu survived the attack so that its good actually. Hmmm. DOnt give up. YOu can do this. Ok ,do you have ice weapons. Ummmm what do you have equipted please share. I dont know how much I can help but I will help you as much as I can nik. YOu have impressed me with your progress.

Being a fire-elemental monster makes it incredibly weak to ice attacks, so equip Strago with an Ice Rod and Locke and Terra with any Blizzard swords you have, and just attack Flame Eater physically YOu wont have anything strong enough to break his bomblet attacks. I would use any espers on him that you have. Mind all of your espers in the items and skills that you have. YOu can learn ice without gaining many levels if I remember right....
