Tips

Equip armor with Auto-Med or Confuse, Berserk, and Poison protection to counter the frequent status ailments inflicted by fiends here.
Have a character equip a weapon with the First Strike ability so you can switch to a summoner or flee if ambushed by a Great Malboro.
Cast Auto-Life or summon an Aeon to deliver the finishing blow to Behemoth King to survive its lethal Meteor counter.
Make a separate hard save at the final save sphere in Dream's End before stepping into the central structure, as you cannot save after triggering the final boss sequence.
