Gil Turtle

[Lin Bug]

How on earth do I kill this thing with the bugs fixed? All the strats in the guides don't work anymore and I've tried so many different combos of jobs but just can't outplay this thing. Any tips?

Well you can brute force it. Max out all jobs till you get the Freelancer ultimate form. Then go in with Rapid Fire + Sword Magic. Should be able to kill atleast 1 before you run out of HP. Best place to AP grind is using LvL 4 Death in the Castle basement vs the Art Statues.

I was able to kill it with the knight + 3 black mage strategy. It's still dangerous but works. Prep your party by getting the 3 black mages to critical (red) hp. Some guides may suggest using graviga or killing them and using a phoenix down, but this can bring them back to life with non-critical (white) hp. Have your mages whack each other with weaker weapons to bring them into the red. Your knight must equip the !Cover ability and every round you will have him/her use !Guard. You will need to wear the bone mail or another armor that prevents confusion from the Turtle counterattack. This setup makes the knight intercept every hit and take 0 damage while the mages blast away with blizzaga. Once you have the party ready for the walk the worst part is quickly getting the first round of guard before the turtle does its first swing. Once you have guard +3 blizzagas going autobattle all the way.

Dude I've been trying this strat for 2 days now and !Guard just stops working as soon as my first Blizzaga hits and my whole party gets wiped. Every. Single. Time. There has to be something I'm missing here because no strat I've found online is working for me.

Did you ever kill this thing? If so, how?

I did eventually kill it! I can't remember the strat off the top of my head but I think I did use mostly BLMs. I do remember I had to grind a lot more levels until I was able to brute force it. Even then I remember having to get lucky with RNG. I also set the battle speed to be the slowest possible so I'd be able to react better to the turtle's attacks.

I was afraid of that, but I guess I'm just gonna have to accept it and start grinding. Man I wish I didn't care about achievements so much lol. I already 100%'d 1-4 so I can't stop now.

Mood. I just finished 100% 1-5 and have moved onto 6.

It's possible that I was just lucky with the timing, but all I can think of to add is to be sure to turn the combat speed down to slowest, make sure the knight is guarding before queuing the blizzagas, and be sure that anti-confusion bone armor is on. That thing killed me several times before I even managed to get that strat to work, so luck is definitely a factor.

I mostly used Black Mages spamming Blizzaga, but make sure you have a Summoner that can spam Golem to tank for you instead of relying on your Knight to luck out with block/dodge. Even with a really high evade, my Knight was getting plinked to death about one out of every 5-6 attacks. I was at level 37, so every round, Earthen Wall would negate nearly 3000 damage from each party member every turn. That made things SOOOOO much easier.

OMG that finally worked. Thank you so much!!!

In my game Gil Turtle just stopped spawning, walked through and grabbed all the gold no turtles. Now I have no idea how to get the bestiary entry.

[Sir Bunting]

it stopped spawning for me after I got the final gil drop, so I reloaded a previous save and then it appeared again. The way I killed it was with a warrior guarding and just one chemist at critical hp using hi-potions on the gil turtle. They both had haste which I applied with a time mage, then had the time mage kill himself. The other characters complicated it too much, it was easier with just 2 characters alive
