BC fight in Stellar Fulcrum (which, incidentally, is the only area in the game that you *can't* name with the auto-translator), at the top of Delkfutt's Tower. (Make sure everyone in your ZM8 group has sense enough to bring their Delkfutt Key, so you can start climbing at Porphyrion's room rather than at the bottom of the tower.) No cap of course, this is Zilart.

One single powerful enemy. Who floats in the air wearing pumps.

Things of note:
- AOE hate reset, on an attack that does something else (Gravity I think). Tanks should keep a hate trick or two up their sleeves at all times to reclaim hate after this move.
- AOE Dispel. More of an annoyance than a danger, though it can of course knock out Reraise.
- Light Blade, powerful single-target attack on the person with hate. (Dangerous if he uses this right after hate reset.) Depends heavily on defense, so a high level PLD will shrug this off quite easily, and a not-so-high level melee (or especially mage) will probably be one-shotted.
- He uses En-spells called stuff like "Wind Blade". These can be dispelled. In addition to the usual En-spell effect, he'll also *absorb* this element until it's dispelled. Be careful with nukes.
- (Someone confirm this, I never tested it.) Rumor has it that he also absorbs the element of the current day. So don't nuke him with Blizzard spells on Iceday etc. (Though you can test it with a weak spell to find out if it's true. If it turns out to be false, nuke away.)

Balanced party in the high 60's should have little difficulty, balanced party in the 70's will find it a breeze. Most important level is the tank's level, for surviving Light Blade.
