Ghoul Fight[edit]
- Time to take on the most powerful Ghost in the area, the Ghoul.
- As much as possible, use Fire Materia when the Ghoul is incorporeal to do heavy damage against it.
- Alternate between Physical Attacks while the Ghoul is tangible, and using Magic while it is incorporeal.
- Watch out for its various attacks that will change between based on the form.
- At points in the battle, the Ghoul will use its telekinesis to lift everything in the room and swirl it around.
- Taking the Ghoul to half health it will transform.
- After that, just keep up the pattern you have maintained, changing it to meet the new attacks.
