The Time Mage delivers devastating AoE damage and Graviga setups without worrying about MP or targeting limitations.

Battle 59: Airship Graveyard Walkthrough

Walkthrough Guide Versus Hashmal

# Step by Step Objectives
1
Prepare Your Party
Before entering the Airship Graveyard, ensure your units are fully equipped with endgame weapons. Equip Black Garb or Jade Armlets to make your team immune to Hashmal’s Stop ability.

The rest of your units should focus on high burst damage while using Auto-Potion to sustain through heavy hits.
2 Do Not Clump Together
Hashmal uses wide-area attacks that can wipe clustered units. Keep your formation spread out and attack from a distance whenever possible. Let Ramza act as your close-range attacker to bait Hashmal’s strikes.

Once Hashmal falls, you’ll receive Ragnarok as a reward and get the chance to reorganize your party before the final showdown against Ultima.

How to Beat Hashmal

Walkthrough Guide Versus Ultima

# Step by Step Objectives
1 Reorganize Your Party
After defeating Hashmal, your HP and MP will automatically be restored, giving you time to prepare before facing Ultima. Replace Meliadoul with Mustadio equipped as a Chemist he’ll be your main item support, supplying X-Potions, Elixirs, and High Ethers to your party. Don’t forget to equip Ragnarok, the sword you just earned from the previous battle, and make sure everyone still has Auto-Potion set for emergencies.

Also, swap your Black Mage to a Time Mage with Arithmeticks, so they can cast Graviga when Arithmeticks cannot target the enemy.
2
Defeat the Ultima Demons First
The fight begins with Ultima and several Ultima Demons surrounding your team. These demons use powerful AoE skills like Almagest, which deals a percentage of your HP as damage. Prioritize eliminating them first to reduce incoming pressure.

If any of them crystallize, do not let Ultima reach those crystals as she can absorb them to fully restore her HP. Keep Mustadio on standby to heal allies and use Arm Shot if possible to Disable the Demons’ offense.
3
Go All Out on Ultima
Once the Ultima Demons are defeated, focus all attacks on Ultima. Use Ramza, Orlandeau, and Agrias to unleash their strongest physical skills while your Time Mage casts Graviga through Arithmeticks to shave off a huge portion of her HP. Auto-Potion will keep your team standing through her powerful magic bursts, so maintain pressure and heal as needed until the next phase begins.
4
Prepare for the Second Phase
When Ultima reaches low HP, the second phase begins, she’ll regain strength and access stronger spells. Stay close to Alma, who can cast Aegis for extra protection.

You can also manipulate Ultima’s behavior by clustering your units as she’ll often waste turns casting Dispelja to remove buffs instead of using deadlier magic. Once she starts casting, spread your units out again to avoid further AoE damage. Keep the offensive going until she finally falls, concluding the main story battle.
