Battle

Rest only casts spells that inflict damage to everyone in battle so Lady will be fully healed each time it attacks. This ensures that when Lady uses White Wind, Rest will be healed as well. Rest uses Tornado or Meltdown on its first turn, and Doom on its second turn. When its HP falls below 10,240, Rest will begin using Meteor every turn, and counters attacks with either Meteor or Trine, an attack the player likely hasn't seen before that inflicts Silence and Blind on the party. The player must use Remedies to heal themselves. When Rest dies it uses Repose twice, which inflicts Instant Death and ignores immunity. Fenrir can help get around this, since Blink will block Repose.

The party can steal a second Ultima Weapon from Rest. If the player is playing the Advance port, this is highly recommended as two Ultima Weapons are a powerful combination in Dragons' Den.
