How to find

Roblon is in an area reached via a hidden path in the northwest part of The Slumbermead. The path is hidden in the tall grass. Roblon then appears at the shrine at the top of the area.

Battle

The player should be prepared for a long fight with a low-level party. Roblon casts Fira, Blizzara, and Thundara and uses Fear that reduces one party member's MP to zero. Dead Bones keep on spawning as soon as the party enters the area. They constantly cast -ra tier magicks and use Reflect on themselves.

Strategy

It may be a good idea to bring plenty of Phoenix Downs and other items to restore MP or cure status conditions. Quickenings should be used cautiously for a low level party, as Quickenings may not be strong enough to completely defeat Roblon, leaving no MP left for healing. In the Zodiac versions, however, this concern is nullified, as Quickenings are no longer cast from MP.

The player can destroy all of the Dead Bones before engaging Roblon. There are several spawn points in the area, but each will only spawn about three times. By luring the Dead Bones down the hill, the party can mop them up before engaging Roblon. Using the Opal Ring accessory, a character can penetrate a Dead Bone's Reflect status to damage them with curative spells.

While the temptation is there to use Reddas as a fourth member, the fight's unique nature means that in the original version he can actually do more harm than good; his pre-set gambits are structured to attack foes targeting him or are the nearest visible, not to attack the party leader's target. With the Dead Bones' spawn points scattered around the field, it is easy for Reddas to get distracted and be drawn away. If he gets in trouble, he can draw one of the party members away from the main fight to aid him, and if the distance is great enough, they will be out of range of curative spells like Curaja, and the party will end up expending twice the amount of MP as normally. This is no longer the case in the Zodiac versions as guests can be controlled and their gambits can be changed.

It may be worth setting up individual curative gambits for each party member with an Arise gambit in place to deal with party members being KO'd; this will revive Reddas (or any other KO'd members) in the thick of the battle where he is needed.
