Beating the giant Cactuar

    This 'giant Cactuar' is none other than the Guardian Force Cactuar.  He is found on Cactuar Island.  For a map, click here.  Just run into the green head that pops up out of the sand to engage in battle with him.

    Like the usual, smaller Cactuars, the giant Cactuar is also weak against water, so junction the Guardian Force Leviathan to one party member with whom there is high compatibility.  Have this person cast Leviathan over and over again.  Have another party member assigned as the curer of the group.  This party member can also attack when there is no-one to cure.  The third party member can attack continuously too.  Cast Triple on your curer and cast Regen on all your party.  Next cast Protect and Haste on all your party.  When necessary, cast some Curas or Curagas.  If you have some Aura spells, cast those too, and use some Limit Breaks.  If you're feeling daring, keep one party member on critical status from time to time, so that that party member can use Limit Breaks without the need for an Aura spell.  Just keep attacking, and eventually, you will get a battle message telling you that Cactuar is hesitating.  Now is the time to pound him.  Cast high powered spells, Leviathan, Ultimas, Meteors and use Limit Breaks.  Act quickly or giant Cactuar will run away, and you will have to start the battle all over again.  If you work fast enough and attack powerfully enough, you should have no problems in beating the giant Cactuar.
