Finding Ixion
Ixion can be easily found at Pharos at Ridorana, Subterra, on the first floor called Penumbra. Simply take the lift upwards, if there are other monsters ambushing you the second you reach subterra, take the lift down and try again until there are no enemies around, run around the circle for a while, and eventually Ixion will show up.

Battle
Interestingly, if you fight Ixion in the circular section, he'll have lesser HP. His standard attack isn't really devastating, but do chain often, and hits quite fast. He also likes to cast Dispelga, which reduce your advantages, so make sure you buff from time to time. He can also use Fearga, which reduces your MP drastically, aside from that, he has plethora of status inflicting Magick, so bring alot of X-Potions and curative items. If you're playing status inflicting battle with Ixion, he can cast Purify, which removes all his status ailments. If you're at a high level challenging Ixion, you can Berserk him, which stops him from casting Purify. His most damaging attack, Thundaga hits pretty hard so you might want to bring Rubber Suit, or Zodiac Escutcheon to negate it. If you're at high level challenging Ixion, you can use the berserk tactic, and Silence him just to be safe. However, make sure you finish Ixion fast when his HP hits critical, he hits hard and fast.
