Strategy

Slyt boss battle
Getting a Black Mage into the fight can work due to Slyt's vulnerability to Oil. While damaging Slyt with a combination of Fire magick and Oil, keep an eye out for when Slyt's damage is nearing the red mark. That's when he enters into a Critical state.

Once the debuffs have been set, keep blasting Slyt with Fire spells. You can also do a Quickening chain in the end to give him no time to attack at all.
