How to Beat Sphinxaur

Preparation

High ATK stat.

Moveset

Sphinxaur will use tier 3 elemental magics and physical attacks. Sphinxaur may also summon other monsters to fight for it.

Strategy

Attack. Sphinx's HP isn't that high, and encountering Sphinxaur in Ultimecia Castle won't really give you choices on moves (due to the castle's seal).
