Our team heads to Mysidia which is under attack by Ramah, and after they deal with that, they venture to Troia to find everyone frozen alive.
As I said in the previous video, our goal is to take care of all the rampaging Eidolons, and the order which you do them is completely up to you.
I chose to go after the most annoying ones first. Those being Ramah and Shiva. Both of these you have to battle carefully since you can actually kill them and doing so results in you losing those summons for the rest of the game.
For Ramah equip everyone you can with lightning resistance and you will want to take the battle slowly. He has a surprisingly low amount of HP and if you go in guns blazing on him you will likely take him out, so just stick to physical attacks, and maybe one or two casts of Bio. The key is to take a phew seconds after each attack to see if Rydia's text pops up. After it does stop attacking all together and wait out the rest of the fight. If you attack him after the message you will be forced to finish him off.
Likewise, Shiva's strategy is similar. You can probably get by with two casts of Firaga on her, but don't do any more than that as you will likely deal some massive damage to her. Doing too much damage will cause the trigger for the text to fail and you will have to finish the fight.
Again, as soon as the text triggers stop attacking all together since if you do so you will be forced to finish the battle.
For me, Shiva turned out to be the biggest pain of the two, as for some reason her trigger simply refused to fire for me. I wound up having to re-record her battle four times before I finally got Rydia's text to pop up, two of which she just outright died before the message could even popped up. So if you're having trouble try toning down the amount of damage you are dealing, and slow down your commands a bit to ensure you give the trigger time to fire.
In the next segment we'll be continuing our search for the remaining Eidolons.
