The first battle with Gilgamesh is a bit of a joke, the second battle is much more lively and my big suggestion for you is to be a level not dividable of 3, 4, and 5... Yes, like his previous incarnation in FFV, Gilgamesh is a freaking Blue Mage and he loves spamming his Confuse spell to have your party kill each other. Gilgamesh is one of the nastier Mark Hunts but its easily the most memorable in the entire game. Its my favorite Mark Hunt hands down.

The big thing about the Gilgamesh fight is that you can steal all the Genji Gear off of him. Two in the first battle, two in the second. They are some of the better armor in the game. Most of all, you want the Genji Gloves cause they raise the chance of your character doing Multi-attacks. So technically, the first battle might be more challenging cause you have to steal the items during certain times in the fight. Basically when he reaches one of the quarters of his health. You can steak four items off him usually but only two will be Genji Gear and this is the only battle you can get them.

I fought Omega and he's not as nasty as Yiazmat but I ended up quitting cause my party was in poor shape thanks to rushing into the fight and getting picked at by all the damn undead. I'll redo the battle when I get the chance but I'm still trying to get the Zodiac Shield chest to spawn... I should go after Excalibur too while I'm at it.
