'''Hilgigars''' is a boss from ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]''. It is fought on the [[Conde Petie Mountain Path]]. Cast [[Float (Ability)|Float]] on everyone to protect the party from [[Earthquake]]. It is very difficult to [[steal]] the Fairy Flute from him, most likely because the Fairy Flute cannot be obtained until much later in the game otherwise. His name is a mistranslation of Hill Gigas.

Have [[Zidane]] steal while [[Vivi]] casts [[Slow (Ability)|Slow]] or focuses. [[Princess Garnet|Dagger]]/[[Eiko]] can heal and cast Float, targeted on the entire party each turn with L1 or R1.

Once Zidane has stolen all items from Hilgigars, have Vivi cast [[Bio]], Dagger summon [[Ramuh]], and Eiko summon [[Fenrir (Summon)|Fenrir]], healing when necessary.

Cast Float even after stealing all of the items because [[Earthquake]] can still [[Knocked Out|knock out]] the entire party if their health is too low.

As stated above, the Fairy Flute can be a very difficult item to steal. With Bandit equipped, each Steal attempt only has a 1/256 chance of getting it. Many frustrated players will say that it is not worth the time and effort, as it can be obtained later. Equipping Bandit will help slightly.

Stats

Battle

Hilgigars uses Earthquake to damage the whole party at once. It is very difficult to steal the Fairy Flute from him. Even with Bandit equipped each steal attempt only has a 1/256 chance of success. The flute otherwise cannot be obtained until Oeilvert.

Strategy

Casting Float on everyone protects the party from Earthquake. Zidane should steal while Vivi casts Slow or focuses. Dagger/Eiko can heal and cast Float, targeted on the entire party each turn. It should be renewed every couple of turns, or else the party may be caught in Hilgigars's Earthquake attack.

Once Zidane has stolen enough items from Hilgigars Vivi should cast Bio, Dagger summon Ramuh, and Eiko summon either Fenrir or Phoenix, healing when necessary.

Hilgigars comes from "hill gigas". Gigas is a popular term for races of giants in fantasy games. Gigas is a Greek word meaning "giant", originally used to describe the race of Gigantes in Greek mythology and is used in the scientific name, as the specific epithet, of hundreds of species of animals and dozens of plant species to denote their size.
