 * Notes: Zeto's Big Wave will do about 120-150 damage to each character if they Spirit during the turn he attacks and they are wearing Deep Sea Jewels (50% reduction in damage from water spells).  Poisonous Bubbles can inflict Venom.  An Antidote, Medicine, or a Vera spell at level 3 or higher will cure Venom.  Venom causes a decrease in HP at the start of each turn and weakens attack and defense. Zeto has 5,000 HP, so it will take several turns to slowly chip away at it.
-* Strategy: With the Deep Sea Jewels and Defender Chains, this is probably the least difficult boss fight thus far in the game.  Cure Venom if possible, and try to keep the party's HP over 300.  Big Wave will do ~275 without Spirit, so try to stay about 300 HP and have Gala use a Healing Bloom on the turn Zeto uses Big Wave.  Use a Fury Boost on Noa T1, and have Noa using Tempest Break and Vahn using Tornado Flame throughout the fight to whittle Zeto's HP down as quickly as possible.  Gala should remain on healing duty, but may use a Theeder cast on T1.

 ** Part 1: You want to start by getting into position just to the left and below the guard on the left side in front of the Juggernaut Room door. It is best to be tapping X while pressing up&right on the D-Pad to slowly wedge yourself between the guard (who will be to the bottom and just to the right) and the door (to the top and right).  You will know you have wedged yourself on the right pixel when the guard will automatically talk to you and bar you from entering the room if you move straight up until you can't move any further.
 ** Part 2: Try to wedge just a bit further, and tilt up+right while tapping X.  If you are successful, you should clip one additional pixel and hit the loading zone to get into the Juggernaut Room.
 =Juggernaut Magic Strategy=
 Previously a mainstay of the any% route, this strategy has been largely superseded by the Power Elixir strategy (see below in a future update).  This involves a character (generally Vahn) equip the Evil Talisman and Spirit Jewel, and cast Juggernaut Magic each turn to attack for roughly 5,000 damage per cast.  The downside is that two accessory slots are consumed using this strategy, increasing the risk that the strategy breaks down against Cort 1 and Songi 3, where two defensive accessories are necessary to reliably survive some of their attacks.  This is the preferred strategy in the no slots route because of the need for a very large number of points for the Power Elixir strategy.  This strategy is unavailable until after the party has reached L17-18, and may not used until after Saryu is beaten and the Juggernaut Room glitch can be used.
 Setup:
-Noa: Defender Chain (Minea's Ring for Cort 1 and Songi 3) / Ebony Jewel / Speed Chain

 * Notes: Xain has 9,511 HP.  His physical attacks are Earth Element and are halved by the Earth Jewel, but both Bloody Horns and Terio punch are bugged and inflict non-elemental damage, which is not reduced by the Earth Jewel.  Because of this, using Earth Jewels is less effective than in normal battles, and it is highly recommended that you use the Point Card on Xain.  If you choose to fight him normally, make sure to heal frequently and try to keep the party's HP over 700 to prevent being KO'ed by Bloody Horns.
-WARNING: Make sure you have 3x Ebony Jewel and 2x Earth Jewel when you leave Underground Octam.  These are critical for the rest of the run and the Ebony Jewels can only be purchased here (You should have 3 Earth Jewels from fighting Berserker; one can be sold here.)

There is also a Miracle Water which appears only after defeating Xain.  To get it, you need to search the Future Hari statue (the red one) just south of the Mayor's Office twice - the first time makes you read the statue, but you can immediately check it again to get a very useful item.

 * Strategy: During the first portion of the boss fight, make sure to Spirit with any character without at least 400 HP, and try to keep the party's HP topped off.  Hyper Lightning deals around 400 damage to one party member, and Hyper Crush will inflict that much damage to all characters.  Once his MP has been depleted, you can play considerably more aggressively, though it is still advised not to let any character's HP fall below 200 or so, and to make sure to Spirit frequently and play relatively defensively.  This is one of the longest boss fights in the game.

 * Make sure all characters have Luminous Jewels and Defender Chains.  I recommend Gala equip the Speed Chain, Noa the War Soul, and Vahn the Spirit Jewel.
 * Notes: This fight is trivialized with this setup.  The Speed Chain guarantees that the equipped character will always attack and can heal before Gaza, and Luminous Jewels reduce his damage output to under 750.  Bring a few Healing Flowers for this fight.  Gaza has 12,000 HP this round.  If Vahn does not have the Kemaro spell, I recommend completing the Sage's Treasure Chest objective and absorbing Kemaro magic for him and Gala in the Sol Basement.
-* Strategy: The most critical component of this fight is to make sure to keep all party members' HP topped off at all times, as Astral Slash can do 700+ damage even with Luminous Jewels.  Since Gaza has no multi-targeting attacks, Noa and Vahn should focus on attacking while Gala fills the healing role with Healing Flowers.

 * Strategy: The first part of this boss fight is fairly straightforward.  Once Saryu uses Jugger Power, all of his stats take a sizable increase, and he hits harder and more frequently for the duration of the fight.  I recommend using Orb every turn after he uses Jugger Power until you finally exhaust the last ~3,500 HP, as it is very likely that he can 2-round any party member with the sizable boost to his ATK and AGL.
