- Io
- Fossil Dragon, Bug, Bug, Bug
- Zombie Dragon, Outcast, Outcast (3/4) OR Maximera (1/4)

Not much to say on the first wave; it's the weakest, obviously. Oversoul is
a monster often missed on the Phantom Train, so it's nice to see it here.
About the only dangerous opponent in the first wave is Vilia; Control her as
fast as possible. As for nice Steals, you could go for Veil Dancer's rare
Thief's Knife, but that's about it. Also note that this is the first time the
'correct' monster formation for Death Warden was used, meaning that it will now
appear on the Veldt.

If you encounter the Blue Urn Glutturn, it will ask for Hi-Ethers. The Blue
Urn Glutturn uses several ID attacks; when provoked it will use two !Punish
attacks every turn. !Punish kills a character when it hits. When killed, it
will say goodbye with two Blaster attacks, so MT Vanish isn't that good of
an idea to circumvent his !Punish attacks. He has a rare Celestriad for
stealing. You can Summon Golem to deal with !Punish indefinitely, and both
Reraise, perfect Magic Evasion and ID-protected Raging will take care of
Blaster.

Second Wave

- Balloon, Balloon, Balloon, Balloon, Balloon, Balloon

- Dante
- Dropper, Dropper, Dropper
- Borghese, Cloudwraith, Cloudwraith
- Tonberries, Tonberries, Tonberries (3/4) OR Dark Behemoth (1/4)

Definitely try to Steal from the Gigantos': both their common X-Potion and
rare Elixir are nice to have. Grenade is a rare enemy that you might have
missed; just don't hit it with Attack or it might use Self-Destruct. If you're
lucky you might be able to grab the Land Ray's Megalixir; set Stop to increase
your chances. Intangir is a monster you may never have actually battled; it
absorbs all elements but is vulnerable to Stop. Its Defenses are pretty high
as well, so barrier-piecing attacks work best.

If you encounter the Green Urn Glutturn, cast Vanish, as it's attacks are all
physical. It has a rare Force Shield you can go for. With Vanish in place,
you'll never take damage so you can guarantee a Force Shield right there.
Without Vanish, you'll see that this little guy's physicals are unblockable
and are very powerful, so unless you have 255 Defense you'll suffer.

Third Wave

- Skeletal Horror
- Malboro, Exoray (3/4) OR Shield Dragon, Shield Dragon (1/4)
- Knotty, Knotty, Knotty, Knotty
- Punisher, Devil Fist, Punisher
- Glasya Labolas, Mugbear, Devil Fist (3/4) OR Death Rider (1/4)
- Gorgimera
- Primeval Dragon, Great Malboro

- Magna Roader [Purple], Magna Roader [Red]

- Pluto Armor, Schmidt
- Weredragon, Parasite, Parasite, Parasite
- Alluring Rider, Pandora, Pandora, Pandora (3/4) OR Gargantua (1/4)
- Coco, Samurai, Suriander

Devil Fist enemies rarely carry Brigand's Gloves, and Punishers carry Rising Sun
weapons and Bone Clubs, both rare and useless. You can nab Moogle Suits from
the Blade Dancers, which is pretty sweet. You can also steal Moogle Suits
from the succeeding Rafflesia flowers, but you'll want to avoid Entice so I'd
advise against prolonged Steal attempts.

If you encounter the Pink Urn Glutturn, it will demand Elixirs. It has a rare
Soul of Thamasa steal, which is obviously quite awesome. It's also one of the
more dangerous Glutturns; it will cast Ultima spells every turn once denied
its beverage of choice, and it's faster than Celes so you can't continuously
soak it up with Runic unless she's Hasted.

Damaging the Pink Urn Glutturn is a tremendous hassle since it evades all
blockable attacks, has perfect Defense and Magic Defense and has 60000 HP.
Ultima and Gravija, combined with Quick and/or the Soul of Thamasa are your
best options if you really want to kill the thing. If you manage to damage it
enough so it will Flee, it'll use Heartless Angel on you as a last goodbye, so
you'll start the battle against the Blade Dancers and Crusers at 1 HP.

Fourth Wave

- Tyrannosaur, Tyrannosaur
- Greater Mantis, Sprinter, Lycaon, Lycaon
- Basilisk, Basilisk, Leap Frog (3/4) OR Glutturn [Green] (1/4)

- Level 90 Magic, Level 80 Magic
- Glutturn (Yellow Urn, demands X-Ether) (3/4) OR Magic Urn, Magic Urn (1/4)

Relatively short, but this one features the most powerful random encounters of
the game outside of the Dragon's Den (which are obviously scattered across
all waves). Let the Tyrannosaurs snooze; you can try to Steal Reed Cloaks from
them. The Greater Mantis carries a rare Impartisan and the Basilisk a rare
Tortoise Shield. Go for them. Make sure to Control the Vilia again.

This is the first and only time you get to fight enemies from the Cultist's
Tower without the non-Magic ban. You'll find they have extraordinary Defense,
so just whack 'em with spells like you're used to.

If you run into a Yellow Urn Glutturn, it'll demand X-Ether on the spot. This
thing carries a rare Master's Scroll, which is super-sweet. We'll finally be
able to put Setzer and Locke in the same team without jeopardizing their
position! The Yellow Urn Glutturn will throw status ailments at you, but
obviously only the nastiest: Mega Berserk ain't too bad, but Overture, Entice
and Cloudy Heaven are all cheap moves that aren't blocked by your Ribbons.

If you've got Ribbons, you could squeeze enough Gravija and Ultima attacks
on this guy if you get lucky with Entice to beat it. If not, I find it easier
to give this thing the two X-Ethers that it wants.

Fifth Wave

- Angler Whelk, Angler Whelk
- Dadaluma
- Crane, Crane (3/4) OR Earth Eater (1/4)
- Number 024
- Number 128, Left Blade, Right Blade
- Glutturn (Pink Urn, demands Elixir) (3/4) OR Flame Eater (1/4)
- Air Force, Laser Gun, Missile Bay (3/4) OR Crystal Dragon (1/4)
- Master Tonberry
- Brachiosaur

Cast a Banish spell on Angler Whelk; when it hits one of the two parts, the
battle is over. You can steal a rare Kazekiri from Number 128; it's normally
a finite item, but now you have acces to more than you could ever hope for.
Air Force holds an Elixir and the Missile Bay an X-Ether; both are nice to toss
out versus Glutturns. Master Tonberry has a rare Megalixir; you could give it
a shot. Control the Brachiosaur and take it down with powerful magical attacks.
No biggie! You can steal a Ribbon from it, and if you're real lucky it might
drop you a Celestriad.

Sixth Wave
- Gamma
- InnoSent, InnoSent, InnoSent (3/4) OR Plague (1/4)
- Junk, Junk, Junk
- Demon Knight, Yojimbo
- Glutturn (Blue Urn, demands Hi-Ether) (3/4) OR Muud Suud (1/4)

- Outsider, Outsider, Dark Force, Cherry *
- Mover, Mover, Mover
- Fiend Dragon, Fiend Dragon (3/4) OR Flan Princess, Flan Princess, Flan
  Princess, Flan Princess, Flan Princess (1/4)

Set Imp on Yojimbo to prevent !Eye for an Eye. If you encounter the Muud Suud,
try to steal a Thunder Shield from it. The Fiend Dragons may quickly kill you
if you don't absorb or nullify Fire-elemental attacks; if you Control one you
can minimize the danger. You can steal Guard Bracelets from them.

Seventh Wave

- Ice Dragon
- Storm Dragon
- Earth Dragon
- Gold Dragon (3/4) OR Glutturn (Yellow Urn, demands X-Ether) (1/4)
- Skull Dragon
- Holy Dragon
- Blue Dragon
- Red Dragon

This is the first time we'll need careful strategy beyond Ribbons and healing.
Ribbons still apply due to Skull Dragon. Ice Dragon can be Silenced and
Confused, Earth Dragon is vulnerable to Sleep, Gold Dragon to Berserk, Holy
Dragon to Silence and Red Dragon to Confuse. Only Blue Dragon and Storm Dragon
can't be more or less rendered harmless by status ailments, but they shouldn't
pose enough of a threat to warrant much worry. Earth Dragon's Quake is the
only attack that blasts straight through your Magic Defense, so go in Floating.
Make sure to try to steal from the Holy Dragon; you get either an X-Potion
(common) or a Holy Lance (rare).

You'll once again gain all the items you got for defeating the Legendary Eight,
except for the Holy Lance from the Holy Dragon. What you do get include a
Force Shield, a Force Armor, a Magus Rod, a Crystal Orb, a Muscle Belt, a
Zantetsuken and a Murakumo.

Eighth Wave

- Tentacle, Tentacle, Tentacle, Tentacle
- Dullahan
- Humbaba
- Behemoth King (3/4) OR Malboro Menace (1/4)
- Curlax, Laragorn, Moebius
- Samurai Soul (3/4) OR Hexadragon (1/4)
- Magic Master
- Hidon, Erebus, Erebus, Erebus, Erebus (3/4) OR Dinozombie (1/4)
- Deathgaze

Dullahan should be countered with Runic as he was earlier. Draining its MP
works great if you lack the Runic skill. Dullahan has a rare Genji Glove for
stealing, too. If you encounter the Malboro Menace, remember to use Banish
to kill it and to stop it from multiplying. The Samurai Soul should be killed
with Confuse and !Assassin Blade; afterwards, it'll drop a Master's Scroll
(awesome!). Remember the last Ultima of the Magic Master well; if he manages to
cast it on you while you're not airborne or under Reraise, you're dead. Runic
works like a charm, too. It does have a rare Crystal Orb you can steal, and will
always drop a Megalixir. Hidon has a rare Thornlet you can steal; the Thornlet
blows but is very rare and can be bet for a Mirage Vest, which is just as
rare and slightly less bad. You can just wait for Deathgaze to Flee by itself.

Ninth Wave

- Inferno, Ketu, Rahu (3/4) OR Neslug (1/4)
- Guardian
- Demon
- Goddess
- Fiend

You can just pound through here. Remember that Demon is vulnerable to Stop and
that you must off Goddess quickly due to Cloudy Heaven (which she uses after
taking 12 hits). Fiend has a rare Saftey Bit for you to steal. This is also
THE last chance to learn Force Field for Strago; it's a great asset in the next
and final wave, so if you lack the spell make sure to grab it here.
