First thing on the agenda is to acquire a healthy stock of Right Arms from the local Bombs which can be stolen. These items will help immensely in letting us deal some damage and wiping out enemy groups to acquire more items, gil, and a little AP. The bridge on which Bombs appear is also easy to get to and is open for the entire game so this'll be our strange and wonderful place for a while.
But we got bosses to take care of, and Dyne was one of the most lethal so far. His regular attack, Needle Gun is more than enough to kill Barret, even with the Sadness status, and to make matters worse it carries a dispel effect which makes Barrier only good for blocking one attack.
The plan is simple enough but fairly risky. We want to put Dyne to sleep and then poison him, throwing a Right Arm when his HP drops below 1200. The problem with this is that we need to get the first turn and we need Sleepel to land when we first cast it otherwise Barret will be killed by Dyne's first attack.
Another problem is that we only have enough MP to cast Sleepel or Bio once before needing an Ether to replenish MP. This costs turns and potential poison damage, not to mention that Ethers are crazy valuable so we don't want to be using too many.
Dyne will wake up long before his HP reaches 1200 so we put up a Light Curtain for Barrier and Defend while we wait. This cuts the damage he does down to 60 or so but it dispels the Barrier and we have to break from Defend to heal/use Sleepel so it only keeps us safe for that one attack. If the second Sleepel misses, it's game over.
After 10+ attempts, we finally got the battle we wanted. A first turn success with Sleepel, followed by Bio inflicting Poison, and then a second successful Sleepel to win the fight.
