Finally took him down, had to finally use Bubba after ignoring him for most of the game and drop Psychotic for Scruffy cause stealing stats seems to work better than using protection magic. Still a tough fight but it helped that Gilgamesh 3 kept using status magic and actually missing most of the time.
Onto the new "twist" in the game. I swear you thought this all up Psy because of that little "incident" from a few years back.
