Killing both the Attacker and Defender will make the CPU attack with Globe199, which does 9999 damage to whoever it hits, then both smaller units will be revived, and you'll have to start over.

Yup, this is the final boss. The evil dude responsible for all the shit you've been through. Don't just stand there, kick his ass! Before that happens, Cecil has to use the Crystal as an item on Zeromus

He'll attack with Big Bang [which is like Virus], Blk. Hole [cancels any Fast, Wall, etc. spells], Nuke, Virus, and when his HP is low, an ineffective Meteo spell... Okay, now kick his ass!
Jump; Equip with White lance
This is the complicated part. Any Black magic or Call magic results in a powerful counterspell by Zeromus. But what the hell, Call Bahamut anyway
After using the Crystal, just do what he always does. Fight; Equip with Crystal sword. If any character goes down, use the Life potion, and Rosa's Cure4 will perk them up.
Forget everything else... Cure4, Cure4, Cure4, Cure4
