Strategy

FFX Sanctuary Keeper Bio
Similar to Seymour's battles, Sanctuary Keeper is vulnerable to Poison. Immediately switch Lulu in and use Bio. Unlike Seymour however, Sanctuary Keeper can use Esuna on itself so prepare to switch in Lulu again to use Bio again.

Summon Shiva and make her use Heavenly strikes as Sanctuary Keeper is vulnerable to attacks that inflicts delay. If Sanctuary Keeper uses Esuna, dismiss Shiva then have Lulu use Bio again then summon Shiva again then keep on using Heavenly strikes again.
