You _will_ want that Gold Hairpin from the 9F monster-in-a-box; catch whatever appears to prevent EXP gain. Yellow Dragon's Lightning (and similar fractional attacks) isn't as useful in this version since they aren't auto-hit anymore; I don't know if Pixel Remaster has that issue.
Dark Spark is a 23% chance to land, so this method'll take several tries. (Can increase level and therefore hit rate with Samson's Might mix.)

You can safely wait out the expiration timer (100 ticks, or just under 2 minutes, from battles start) in-between Quick turns. Otherwise you have to survive its onslaught of powerful fire spells and physical attacks (and its instant death special), since its completely invincible (barring extreme luck with Setzers slots).")

If you dont get Golem here, he rarely (6% chance) appears in the waterfall room of the final dungeon (still harassed by the dragons).")

Fuck it, Im done trying to further optimise this thing. (The safe strategy has you spam water scrolls, since all of its forms take normal damage from that element, and its too slow to get the jump on speed-optimised Ninja after each formchange.)
Take off Galufs equipment _immediately_ after this fight, as hell leave for a while once you enter the crystal chamber.
The Chemists !Mix command (obtained after this fight) is _the_ single most overpowered command in the game, so naturally the most potent mixing ingredients cant be bought (ie. theyre enemy drops and/or steals). And you _will_ need it for LLGs.")

Youll lose her forever if you dont fight her before leaving the first world. (Not that you were going to use her in a LLG anyway.) Steal Mythril Swords from Ice Soldiers in this area for cash, since you obviously cant beat stuff freely.")

This thing has the false image toggle that Neo Shinryu is so infamous for, though its not _quite_ as obnoxious about it (theres always a vulnerable target on field, and you can nullify the Frost counters with Flame Rings). And yes, I forgot to steal Dragon Fangs back in world 2…oh well.")

When boosted, Leviathan is the most powerful summon in the game…except theres _no_ water-boosting item (not even in GBA—they went out of their way for that!); you need to use Elemental Power mix for it. So Syldra continues to be the most efficient, since you can just buy Air Knives and spam her with impunity. (Not that any of this matters in a LLG anyway.)")

Even if you dont care for the other Genji equipment, you _must_ fight him here for a chance to get the Genji Shield later on.
よし ここからは本気で戦わしてもらうぜ！ ギルガメッシュチェーンジ！！ Very well—from now on, allow me to fight in full earnest! Gilgamesh change! (Sounds a lot less obnoxious than EN, doesnt it.)
Exdeath is a cheat! (Banish ignores instant death immunity but misses heavy enemies, like Gilgamesh here; its effectively an inverse Death.)")
