I'll beat this game sooner or later... started playing it again today. With the help of a bunch of FAQs at GameFAQs (different ones for the main layout, enemies, quests, and maps) because the quests are often obtuse and annoying and I'd prefer to just know what to do to complete them.
Tried to fight the boss of the game (before the postgame content that is). Got slaughtered. I don't know how this party will ever beat that guy... I did manage to just beat the optional boss Manticor, though (party levels between 65 and 59). He killed me easily in the previous attempt with hits-the-whole-party poison attacks that I can't counter because I don't have Immune (didn't put enough points in Regen early enough on, and now it's too late, with that skill still at 6 and only a few more points to go...) to help me, either, or a protector or troubadour to reduce damage. So, I did what I could: Bet it all on bindings working! To increase my chances I went in to the battle with full boost for most of the party members... and my darkhunter's head bind worked. Hah! Then within just a few turns, between the darkhunter and hexer, I bound the feet and arms too, then did Ecstasy twice (1800HP to a fully bound enemy...) and it died. :)
