Notes

Original thread with tips and detailed strategy can be found Here

Brief key points:

• Orthros counters everything with a physical scaling mana drain
• Wear Water, Wind, and Thunder resist on everyone, with Earth on your tank, and Fire on your provoker
• Orthros will ST berserk when below 40%
• Typhon needs to be sealed with specific elements starting on turn two

• Battle one ambushes with AoE physical earth, Battle two ambushes with AoE magical lightning and non-elem

• WARNING: There was a GLEX change to this trial. The Hailstone and Tempest attacks every second round are now PHYSICAL typed instead of magic. This means a physical cover tank will die every second turn. Keep re-raise on them if using a phys tank. (re-raise may not work due to multi-hit?)

• The gravity attacks can be evaded, but the tentacle and magnitude8 attacks ignore evasion.

• There were also buffs to some of the attacks (including the ambush) that increase the damage modifier. Also Orthros's healing is stronger in battle two. Wiki has been updated.

Details on my clears

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIULmxVJ2gM

So my clear was super messy because I went way too quick, then had to stall in second fight for 3 espers. Also, because things went wrong, my provoke tank got permanently snorted, so I effectively had to 5 man the final battle. Even so, managed to knock it out.

Folka and Sylvie did buffs, resistances, and mana refill. Sieghard had to do all the tanking because of my mistake causing me to get Wilhelm ejected. I had to re-raise him a lot, but Esther's naturally tankiness was fine even when Sieghard wasn't covering.

After finally summoning three espers it was just a matter of waiting for Ultros to go vulnerable to physical, then Esthers blew him up very fast.

My Second Clear

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tcDbS3AqDI

I went for a second non-Esther clear. Used enhanced Sephiroth instead, so it was a much slower clear, but still got all missions. This time I made some changes to adjust for the GLEX buffs this trial got.

Sieghard passive provoked while alternating between Pod153 physical mit (40%), and his LB (45% general mitigation, 3 turns). MRamza would entrust him as needed to keep his LB active, though some turns it wore off anyway due to berserk or lack of crystals. Folka filled in with her general mit when possible.

Folka did mana regens, and heavily utilized all three of her mitigation buffs, along with her 100% water resist buff. Also did a lot of re-raising.

Mercenary Ramza was geared in 100% evasion, which totally negates the GLEX gravity AoE. On the other hand, everything else ignores evasion, so he still got pounded very hard, and really needed those stacking mitigations from Sieghard/Folka/Sylvie to pull it off. Still, I feel it was worth it because evasion means your cover tank should never die (though mine sometimes did for other reasons).

Sylvie did stat buffs, immunity buffs, mitigation buffs, resistance buffs, and she would imbue the DPS with thunder or light element when she had a free turn if the boss went weak to those elements.

Sephiroth's just chained Supremacy a lot, usually non-elemental, but sometimes imbued from Sylvie.
