I'm fighting Yaksa Meganada--I've been stuck here for hours' worth of game time. The FAQs at GameFAQs are worthless. My characters are at 68-70, so I feel I should be able to beat him.
Meganada has two forms--one uses physical attacks, and the other uses magic. In the beginning stages he'll use Black Bhakti to power up, and then cast some kind of uber spell on the next turn (Viraj Blade, which appears to be unblockable, or that Elec spell when he's in his magic using form). This is easy enough to handle. I start the battle by casting Enervate, Spell Gloom, Rakujaka, Sukujaka, and Tarujaka to their limits, using Void Phys to cancel his attacks. When he uses Viraj Blade I can take the hit and heal afterward easily enough. When he switches to his other form I use Magic Repel to defend against Element and Ailment spells unless he powers up; then I switch to Elec Drain. For attacking I use Last Word or a physical attack. This strategy is enough to get him into the red.
But what the hell do I do once he's in the red and he stops warning you before he uses his uber attack? How do I defend against, say, Dekunda and Dekaja on one turn, followed by Rage, Moksha, Black Bhakti, Viraj Blade, Attack, Attack? That hits for a total of 1000+ points per character, and I don't see how you defend against it. What's also nice is when he casts the uber Elec spell on me while I'm using Magic Repel instead of Elec Drain, healing himself for 2,000 points or so.
Help me out here--I'm at wit's end.
