I'm assuming you're at Gnosis Cathedral Ship.

That's not a really tough battle... Gargoyle is weak to lightning, and Oudogogues are weak to slash, and they have about 1/3 the HP of Gargoyle.

Take out the Oudogoges first, and yeah, Gargoyle will power-up and heal, but after you finish off both Oudogoges, you just need to focus on the main boss. Heal, Attack.

Which characters do you suppose I should use? I have been using chaos, Shion, and KOS-MOS. chaos's Heaven's Wrath Attack does ~250 damage, and KOS-MOS's attacks R-Cannon, R-Blade and R-Drill do ~300 damage. I was just wondering if I should use Ziggy at all. Otherwise I just figured a strategy to beat them, my brain just went dead for a few minutes I gusess.

What level are you?

In the last battle (well, you are far from that, but...), I use Kos-Mos, Shion, Jr.
For now, actually use whoever you want to... one good healer is enough, and pick two that can do damage effectively.

Ziggy has lightning attack, so he can be useful in this fight...

You are far from it. Many harder bosses ahead, my friend. If you're frustrated now, God knows what will happen when you reach Simeon(Albedo's Mech) or the half dozen other kickass bosses.

Personaly, I remember using for that battle, Shion, chaos, and Ziggy. Of course, Jr., Shion and MOMO were my "final team." For now, concentrate on boosting your A.G.W.S.' power. They'll help you survive for a short while longer.

Oh, and don't forget. if you are really stuck, CodeBreaker is your friend....

Hmm... I can't really say that game has a lot of tough bosses. I think I died once in a optional boss fight? Jr. vs Joe? But that's because I never saw it coming, and I was way too weak when I fought him.

AGWS wasn't all that useful at this stage, because they'd be too slow. And you know you're biased for not using Kos-Mos. Kos-Mos deals out the most damage, until Jr. joins. And Jr. will be the king of random encounter by then...

Still, in a boss battle, I found that Kos-Mos is most well-rounded character. With the skill transfer, she can deal out tons of damage, self-heal, and can take a lot of damage.

KOS-MOS is a must-have whenever possible. Unfortunately for me, I thought Ziggy was actually useful for a while, and spent time developing him. My mistake...

My typical party was Shion, KOS-MOS, and Jr/MOMO, depending on the situation.

The only time I found the game particularly difficult was when I was rushing thru the first time around, and made it to the end in under 40 hours, and I was woefully underprepared for the fight. No Erde Kaiser, I was half the level I should've been, and I remember that I never realized something about upgrading AGWS units. I was in sorry shape, and surprised I got that far...

I actually didn't use Shion that much. I used her in the last battle just for the 9999 damage attack... well, I probably should have spent more time on her instead of chaos. But that's when I loaded a earlier and played the game again so I could use those "Ancient techniques" for Shion.

The first time I finished the game at like avg level 29, with Kos-Mos being the highest lv 32.

I find that statement to be depressing. One of the reasons Im liking the game is because Im having a hard time with a lot of the bosses, an experience im not used to in a turn-based game.

Err... really? I don't think I've over-leveled my characters, since they have an average of 29, and my three who fought the last boss had an average of 31..

The one difficult turn-based RPG I've recently played would be Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, especially on hard mode. Even on normal, random encounters can easily make your game over if you don't know what you're doing.


Don't get me wrong though, Xenosaga is a great RPG, and it is not super easy or anything.
