Strategy
Enter the battle with only one character alive and with low HP;
Ignore the tentacles (not worth it wasting time with them);
Heal yourself;
Always have Defense, Magic Defense, Haste (Big Guard) and Reflect* up.
!!! Status from Mirror takes longer to dissipate than Big Guard !!!
This strategy involves relying on your limit breaks until the boss can't use magic anymore, i.e. his MP ran out.
You can just keep healing, buffing and waiting to use your limit break, but you can also use magic hammer to drain it out of him a little faster.
You can also inflict bad status on its tentacles by using Hades (optional).
Once he can't use ultima and comet2 anymore, paralyze him so you can deal damage with attacks, knights of round and mime.
Don't forget to keep buffing and healing, since he can still get you sometimes, as well as his tentacles.
