In our quest to not do very much, we will be riding trains a lot.
-Strategy-
-) No Levelling: Includes GFs
-) No STR Junction
-) No Limit Breaks
-) No Hero/Holy War
-) No Chocobo World
-) No Card/Card-Mod
Gerogero (and the Fake President) are fairly simple opponents. You can instantly kill them with a restorative item like Phoenix Down but we opted for a 'straight' fight instead.
First thing to do is get set up with Double, which is going to be standard fare for most of the boss fights and then start chucking Firex2 at the Fake President. When he goes down, Gerogero spawns and we can draw some of his magic like Berserk and Esuna. When I've grabbed some of that, we go back to Firex2, which he's weak to, and he falls fairly quickly to that.
Next we have a bunch of EXP-giving fights with soldiers. Unlike the Seifer fights, I've remembered to unequip GFs in order to avoid any of them getting unwanted EXP (they can't level up as part of the challenge either). This might make for a few tricky fights later but we've got some leeway with GFs and EXP so if need be we can junction one or two to help out.
Finally, we've got the Brothers to recruit. Sacred is fairly easy on his own, just raise him off the ground with Float and then get stuck in with Doubled spells. The proper fight with him and Minotaur, however, applied a bit of pressure. Mad Cow Special can hit the party for 200 damage, while Minotaur (the small one) can hit the whole party with his attacks. This called for a round of Protect before going in with our attacks; we had the fight under control but it marks the first proper skirmish since the beginning (with the exception of Diablos, but that was because I forgot about Blind...).
