FFIX - Bosses - Beatrix - Beatrix, 2nd Encounter

Beatrix
HP: -
AP recieved: 0
Gil recieved: 0
Items to steal: Mythril Sword, Chain Plate, Phoenix Down
Items recieved: None
Attacks: Slash, Thunder Slash, Shock, Stock Break
It is a good idea to cast Reis's Wind immediately, and also Mighty Guard if you have it. Beatrix's physical attack will cause about 200HP damage, as will Thunder Slash. Shock will do between 600 and 800, so it will probably knock out one of your characters. In this battle, concentrate on healing and stealing, rather than attacking. You never actually have to attack Beatrix, after a couple of minutes she will get bored and use Stock Break on you, reducing everyone's HP to 1, and ending the battle. You probably won't be able to steal the Mythril Sword in the time you are given.


Black Waltz III
HP: 1292
AP recieved: 5
Gil recieved: 864
Items to steal: Steepled Hat, Lightning Staff, Flame Staff.
Items recieved: None
Attacks: Hit, Freeze, Fire, Thunder, Blizzard
The low-level magic attacks shouldn't cause you too much trouble, neither should Hit. However, if a character is frozen, Black Waltz III will usually kill them in the next turn. Get Marcus to steal the items and Dagger to heal; then attack with Steiner and Marcus. You shouldn't have trouble with this battle.


Ralvurahva
HP: 2296
AP recieved: 0
Gil recieved: 0
Items to steal: Mythril Fork, Bone Wrist
Items recieved: None
Attacks: String, Devil's Kiss, Blizzara
String will slow you down, and Devil's Kiss will poison you, but it has no major attacks. The items are fairly easy to steal, and if Steiner has the Blood Sword and MP attack, this battle will be over in seconds. It will escape before it dies, so you recieve no AP or items.


Antlion
HP: 3938
AP recieved: 5
Gil recieved: 2424
Items to steal: Gold Helm, Mythril Vest, Annoyntment
Items recieved: Ether, Annoyntment
Attacks: Trouble Mucus, Sandstorm, Fira, Counter Horn
By far the most damaging attack is Sandstorm, which reduces everyone's HP to below 10, and also causes darkness. When this is used, immediately cast Reis's Wind and White Wind. The other attacks shouldn't cause too much of a problem. If you attack physically, the Antlion will counterattack with its horn. Antlion is weak against Ice, so once you have stolen the items, cast Blizzara a couple of times to quickly defeat the boss.


Beatrix
HP: -
AP recieved: 0
Gil recieved: 0
Items to steal: Ice Brand, Thunder Gloves, Phoenix Down
Items recieved: None
Attacks: Slash, Thunder Slash, Shock, Stock Break
Much the same as the last time you fought her, Beatrix will end this battle when she is bored, even if you don't attack her. Still, cast Reis's Wind and Mighty Guard, as Shock will now cause over 800HP damage. This time, the battle lasts a little longer than before, so you should have time to steal all three items. She will once again use Stock Break to end the battle.
