Grand Aevis is quite the malevolent enemy and it is accompanied by two Dark Elementals. Grand Aevis uses status attacks on the party; Blaster Paralyzes a target, Evil Eye causes Petrification, Poison Breath damages and inflicts Poison, and Zombie Powder turns a target into a Zombie. Grand Aevis also uses a target-all, wind-elemental attack called Breath Wing, and Maelstrom that reduces a random target's HP to single digits. Additionally, it can use Paraclete, which may raise a KOed party member into a Zombie.

Before beginning the battle, it is useful to equip everyone with an Angel Ring to protect against zombification.

The Grand Aevis appears with two Dark Elements that cast Ga-level spells every turn, but the party can set up Reflect with Carbuncle. Before that, however, the party should hold on just long enough to cast a few defensive/supportive spells (Golem, Mighty Guard, Hastega are good).

With the spells being reflected back at the opponents, it may either cure them or hurt them. However, since they don't cure more then the party can deal damage, it doesn't matter. White Wind is an effective healing method. Good offensive spells and attacks are Bahamut, Meteor, Holy, Flare and Rapid Fire.
