how do i win this fight ?

[Mikasa Ackerman]

i only have Zidane against this weird Mage and a Monster he summons

Best thing to do is simply heal zidane with potions until he Trances. After that, use Tidal Flame ans it will kill the Black Waltz and severely damage the Sealion. 1 follow up attack will kill that too.

"continue" loads up the last screen the game was on. "load" will allow you to load up the last manual save you made with a moogle. Unfortunately, its impossible to leave the boss's room once you're in it.

You should have a Mage Masher, as there's one that can be picked up in the Ice Cavern (the treasure chest you have to drop an icicle to reach). Have Zidane be in the front row and at least level 4- higher is easier and safer. Attack Black Waltz three times to kill him, then attack Sealion once, switch rows, and attack Sealion again. Now you can sit back and wait for a Trance, and Tidal Flame will finish off Sealion.

This method of attacking avoids Sealion's counters at lowered HP- first an out of turn Blizzara, and then an out of turn Tsunami. Both of these deal heavy damage and can easily lead to a death if not anticipated.

You should probably use a Potion on Zidane's 3rd turn, and then every 4th turn afterwards. Conveniently, this leaves a few turns open for stealing while waiting for Trance, and the Mythril Dagger Sealion carries is a shiny upgrade.

Or you can attack twice when in Trance, that works too- just make sure your HP is at max before you attack!
