Use Cyc Against Homo Gorleo's Legs and Wings

Use Cyc, and aim it towards Homo Gorleo's Legs and Wings to exploit its weakness. This will enable you to consume only half a turn point, allowing you to get more turns for attacking or recovering.

Homo Gorleo is not weak to Wind itself, but exploiting the weakness of its wings and legs will considerably lessen the damage received from Wingbeat and Spin Slash.

Let Gallica Knock Down the Apples

Homo Gorleo will keep consuming apples to recover during battle. At this point, Gallica will propose something and the game will prompt you to choose whether to let Gallica handle it or not.

Choose Yes to let Gallica handle the apples and prevent Homo Gorleo from healing itself anymore.
