How to Beat Gilgamesh

Before the Fight

  • Spend as little MP and as few items as you can, the rest of the tower is still ahead.
  • He is hard to stagger, so do not plan around a break.

Gilgamesh Strategy

Treat It as a Scripted Scene

The battle ends on its own once his HP is around half, so there is nothing to gain from going all out.

Save Resources for the Climb

Keep MP and items for the rest of Siren's Tower, since you cannot refill until you leave.

Later Rematches Play Differently

On the Airship, kill his summons first and the fight ends once the Bomb blows. At the Kolobos Bridge he has no weakness, so bring your best team.
