no, he's only in the game boy advance remake. he's one of the more difficult enemies in the secret dungeon. (well, unless you use the abel's lance )

and yeah, zeromus EG is pretty easy. (since he's japan's easy type zeromus, or something.) i just love glitching him up with the grimoires

I've killed Brachy 11 times now.

The easiest way to take him out is, as mentioned previously, have Kain attack with his Abel's lance. If tornado is cast by the lance, it's a one hit knock out on Brachy.

Otherwise, he is a tough cookie. The first defeat took two tries at nearly thirty minutes each. I suggest using a party of Cecil, Kain, Edge, Rydia and Rosa (or Yang if you have a LOT of elixers/megalixers).

Cecil should attack with Ragnarok (lightbringer's holy spell will backfire on you once Brachy casts reflect).

Kain should attack with Abel's lance. Hopefully you'll hit the tornado spell for an easy kill. If the battle lasts long enough for Brachy to cast reflect, either switch Kain's lance to the Wyvern spear (for 9999 damage per hit) or start doing your jump/double jump to avoid the auto-spell.

Rydia should cast Flare when possible, switching to Bahamut after Brachy casts reflect. Use phoenix downs & elixers as necessary. Using Dragon (with the auto-blink on whole party) is nice, but Brachy's spells will quickly negate any point to blinking people. I've had better luck with flare/Bahamut.

Edge should dart Fuma Shurikens (or assassin daggers if you've got money to blow), also using phoenix downs and elixers as necessary.

Rosa should cast Holy when possible and cure or cast full-life when needed. If using Yang instead, use phoenix downs, elixers and megalixers when needed, attack when possible with the Hand of the Gods claw and either Dragon Claw or Holy Shield equipped (if you've defeated Brachy before).

After you do defeat Brachy, putting a Holy Shield on Yang instead of the Dragon Claw raises his agility and defense quite a bit. The shield is great for Rydia, Palom and Porom since it is the only shield they can use with their free hands. Equipping the Hero Shield on Kain (along with the Dragoon armor) will let Kain absorb fire, ice, lit and even Brachy's Glare spell. Kain and Rydia are nearly unstoppable once they have the Hero Shield equipped.

Thanks for all that info. Its a pain in the ass to wait for kain to use tornado. Are giants gloves and glass mask good because i can't seem to get those treasures and can you learn goblin etc. summons. Look in the bestiary to know wat im talking about.
Has anybody reach the lv. 99 yet im super close

This part is inaccurate.

When it's an Esuna, it also heals an equivalent of casting Curaga on your entire party, instead of Cura.

Also, using Abel's Lance is not the only way to beat him (even though it is by far the easiest). I was one of the people insane enough to try beating with just Edward (Maxx Power did this first). If you have Apollo's Harp, it will do 9999 damage to him every turn. All you have to do is hide whenever he attacks you, as Glare, Firaga+Thundaga+Blizzaga, Mega Flare, and Flare+Holy+Bio will probably KO him in one hit.

I've beaten this enemy 4 times now with this method. After two failed attempts I noticed something with his attack patterns and found this to be an easy way to win.

Once you have done so much damage to it, the countdown starts and from there onwards he tends to only use the triple-magic attacks, so here's a trick I found. If you lose a party member, revive them immediately with only a phoenix down. Do not use an elixir or cure them in any way because the triple-magic attack will happen soon after and you will have just wasted the elixir/mp. So, instead just keep physically attacking and reviving with phoenix down asap. As long as you always have at least 4 people alive then this should work since that triple magic attack usually kills the other 3. I did this only with average level of 55 for the whole party the first time using this strategy.

It works with any given party for me, but here's what I use for attacks.

Cecil/Cid/Edward - Physical Attacks
Rosa/Porom - Cast Holy, use reflect if needed
Edge - Physical attacks or throw fuma shuriken
Yang - Punch/Deadly
Kain - Jump/Dbl Jump
Rydia/Polom - Strong black magic attacks, reflect if needed

My strategy attack like crazy and use life to conserve mp or use a phoenix down on your fallen dudes or dudetts. If you have two or more with little hp use a megaelixer or (elixer if you don't have enough on each separately). Don't heal instead use Holy with Rosa and Porom(use reflect if nessecery). When he count down that means you've been fighting him for some time. Think of the brachy>like this his the lunar bahamut and if you don't finish him off fast your dead. da point>HE IS LESS LIKELY TO ATTACK IF YOU ATTACK ALOT BUT WILL STILL USE GLAREdarn

i also got four hero's shield and did this 3 times without kain using the tornado thing. I deafeated him at lv's 60 something 2x at lv's 80 somthing and the last time when my party was was all at lv's 97-99.
