Gilgamesh Encounters

[ShinigamiAkaiUsagi]

^^ I made the encounters with gilgamesh (1, 2, 3 and 4 - in the castle) and take the 'excalipoor'. But in the interdimencional rift: void, he doesn't appear in the rift T.T (fifth encounter)

someone can help me? > <

I was thinking, maybe another requirement? (i'm with exalipoor of fourth encounter when opened the treasure chest)

I'm playing to complete the achievements and... bestiary and chests complete until here, but .. without these encounters (5th and 6th) i will need to replay xD

[sorry poor english > <]

Hmm, I cant recall any requirment for battles with Gilgamesh.

Djibriel walktrough state:
"Note: obviously, if you didn't open the Excalipoor chest in Exdeath's Castle
back in the day, Gilgamesh was never banished to the Interdimensional Rift and
he won't be here, nor will he make any other future appearance. This is basic
causality, no need to get worried."

So.. i will replay just to complete the bestiary > < .. thanks anyway.. i think its a bug, because i have the genji helm and excalipoor > <

the good news is: i only need to play until this part (end game kk ) to complete the bestiary xD The bestiary count the encounters of different saves ^^

Same thing happened to me. I *think* I remember seeing his sprite on the warp zone, but I don't remember fighting him. I wasn't aware that was where I was supposed to fight him, so I didn't pay much attention (I was focused on stealing weapons). Then I beat Necrophobe and saved. T_T

It really pains me to play the game all over again just because of a game bug. Does anyone perhaps have a save file before that fight against Gilgamesh, or maybe before Twintania, or even before entering the Rift altogether?

Maaaaybe I was too strong and overkilled him, not giving him a chance to leave the battle?

Gilgamesh appears in the necrophobe fight if necrophobe has less than 10K hp left (as that is enough damage for the scripted end), so if you kill him before he hits that treshhold (with like double cast/rapid fire with spell blade weapons) then gilgamesh won't appear. Never encountered the issue with gilgamesh not appearing in the rift even with taking excalipoor and fighting him in the castle (which he should) so can't say much regarding that.

I think what happened to me is weird because I didn't get #307 in my Bestiary (that's the entry for the first fight against Gilga in the Rift), even though I had fought him in Exdeath's castle.
I honestly don't remember if I killed him so fast in the castle that Exdeath didn't send him into the Rift. Maybe I killed him too fast when I first met him in the Rift that he didn't have time to run away (and maybe he doesn't go into your bestiary if you beat him there?).

In my case it definitely wasn't due to killing Necrophobe too fast because I was missing even #307.

Another theory reminds me of an experience I has in a pyramid, when obtaining the Crystal Mail. Right after the chest fight, an Aspis touched me and the Crystal Armor never made it into my inventory, despite the message.
So maybe I got into a random fight right when I touched Gilgamesh in the Rift, and his sprite vanished, but I never got the chance to fight him.
