Gilgamesh (Revenant Wings)

Gilgamesh is an enemy and summon in Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings. In Chapter 10, the sidequest Mission 81: Battle on the Big Bridge becomes available, and Vaan and others heads to the Gates of Shattered Time. Gilgamesh is there, walking about aimlessly with a pet Enkidu. He immediately recognizes the party, and begins to blather on and on about how their meeting was not by chance. Brandishing his swords, Gilgamesh challenges the party to a duel, Enkidus at his heels.

Strategy
You are only allowed three Group Leaders in this battle, the Cache is Glabados is not used to summon Yarhi at the battle's start, and there are no Summoning Gates on the field. You will want Penelo for her healing skills and Llyud for his advantage against melee units. For your third Group Leader, either Vaan or Basch are a good choice. Make sure all of your characters are above level 50 or so.

Gilgamesh begins in the center of the field, flanked by one Enkidu. The Enkidu will rush your party immediately, but Gilgamesh will stay put. After defeating the first of Gil's minions, more Enkidus will appear at the sides of the battlefields at regular intervals and head straight for your three units. After about 10 Enkidu have been felled, Gilgamesh himself will move from his perch and chase your units.

KO each Enkidu as quickly as possible. Buffs such as War Dance, Protectga, and Dervish should be in place at all times. It is best to stay near your starting point and destroy each Enkidu that comes to you. When Gilgamesh begins to move, make a beeline for him and hit him with everything you've got. Llyud should use Jump liberally, and Vaan's Steal abilities can weaken Gil extensively. About four Enkidu will attack your party from behind during your duel with Gilgamesh, usually targeting Penelo. You will want to ignore this and focus exclusively on Gilgamesh. A Quickening may come up during the heated fight; using it can end the battle quickly.
