Greater Sphere

Opening of the battle against a Greater Sphere in the Monster Arena Calm Lands

HP: 1,500,000

The most challenging aspect of the battle against Greater Sphere (which is similar to that of the Earth Eater) is that it will counter all attacks against it with Black Magic IconUltima. It also has an attack called “Hydraulic Press,” which will reduce each party member’s HP by a fraction of 15/16 or approximately 93.75%.

Greater Sphere is a pain in the ass to defeat. Your party members will end up dying a ton because there is no way to prevent each of the counterattacks. Just make sure that each of your characters has the Ability IconAuto-Phoenix auto-ability and that you have a heavy stockpile of Orange Vial Item IconPhoenix Down. Consider also using White Magic IconAuto-Life as well to keep your party members alive. Aside from that, there isn’t much strategy involved…

You should consider power leveling your characters and obtaining the Celestial Weapons. Check out the Advanced section of the Tips and Tricks for more information. With properly leveled characters, this fight is pretty straightforward.
