Battle

Gaunt Ω begins by executing Deshell or an Aerora combo attack. Afterward it will change its battle style randomly, either with an Aerora combo attack or Aerora with Aeroga finale.

Strategy

The player should equip the Thunderbird Bracelet and use Thundara, Thundaga or Sparkstrike, as well as Mediguard and Deshell. The latter decreases Gaunt Ω's Magic Resistance and enhances the player's magic-based abilities. After this, Sparkstrike or Thunder/Thundara/Thundaga can be used to stagger it. When it attacks, the player can use Perfect Block.

Etymology

[view · edit · purge]Gaunt means "lean and haggard, especially because of suffering, hunger, or age."
