I predict that you'll probably are going to lose more than once against Barbariccia.

Update!

(Starting from the Dark Elf fight on wards as I can't remember anything before then ><)

Gil trouble!

At this point I am starting to feel the burn of not fighting random battles, no gil - not to mention losing gil after every fight. After a quick run through Mythril town I grabbed some Mythril items lying around and managed to scrape up some nice gil which allowed me to buy a new Armour piece and Sword for Cecil along with some essential healing items.

The Dark Elf

I always had trouble with this boss without a disadvantage, but I just stuck to my old strategy of hacking away at him whilst healing with Tellah and as luck would have it I prevailed after a few tries. :D

Tower of Zot

It was hard to decide whether to farm the area for Treasure Chests or leave them in fear of being attacked by brutal fiends that would leave my party as a very thin smear on the ground. So, I came across a chest and I gave in, I thought I was dead as soon as I saw that a monster poped out, but I actually handled the monster (Although it left me on my last legs) and nabed myself a Fire Sword for Cecil. that was the only problem traveling through this area, I found other chests that yeilded only Treasure and made it to the Save point at the top safely.

The Magus Sisters

Easy. Focus on the chubby one and this job is as good as done.


Barbariccia

I tried it once with no effort (I didn't even use a tent after the Magus Sisters) but as you can imagine at low levels with all your MP slightly defiled, and with shoddy equipments this fight didn't go too smooth. She's nothing a good strategy won't sort though, I'll have her beat by tonight.

Sorry about the late update and sort of reviving a semi-old thread, I'll have more motivation to complete this challenge and update more freaquently now that some people are interested.

Edit~ Barbariccia 2nd attempt

I don't dissapoint, it would seem you over-estimated her difficulty - she weren't all that hard. I was somehow able to very accurately estimate when to use Jump to get rid of her Tornado wall, this is what won me the fight. I kept Cecil in the back row and Covered Rosa while she tops up my HPs with Cura. The rest of the team just hacked away at Barbariccia using items when neccessary. She only managed to squeeze one "Tornado" spell in due to my timing with Jump and her normal attacks are pretty feeble so Rosa was more than able to heal and even throw a Slow spell here and there.

Scott seems to have dropped this, but over vacation, I picked it up and ran with it. I am playing the GBA version though. I'll continue from where he left off. I'm not sure if he did. But I made sure to strip people of their equips, right before they leave. Even if I have a boss fight coming up. I can give them to other chars, and sell them later.

Also, until I reach endgame (moon second time), in towns I will only purchase Weapons, and Armor. I will not buy Helmets, gloves, shields, etc. That way, when I reach teh end of the game I will have enough gil to purchase the best stuff.

Calcobrena was the hardest boss fight thus far. I'm taking lots of damage from multiple enemies. Cecil attacks a Brina with his firebrand, and Yang attacks the same one it dies. Kain targets a Calco. Rosa uses Cura on all. Cecil and Yang defeat a second Brina. Kain keeps focusing on the same Calco. Cecil, Yang, and Kain go all out on the Calcos, leaving the final Brina untouched. That way, I don't have to fight the big one.

Lugae and Barnabas were pie. I focused on Lugae. The second Lugae fight was cake too.

Rubicante was easy to defeat. It was just very time consuming. Cecil and Kain attack with Ice Brand, and Ice Lance. Edge uses flood. Rydia uses Blizzara. Rosa is still using Cura all. Just kept wailing away till he died.

Sealed cave was tough. I just saved outside, and kept resetting whenever I killed a non-required door. It was hard not to break down the door and get the sword for Cecil. Demon Wall, easy. Everbody has problems with him. I never do. I just had everybody go all out. Using a Baccus Cider on Cecil and Edge (who is god in this challenge). Rosa revives whoever needs it. Rydia attacked too, since magic is innefective on him.

Right after this, I went and got Excalibur, so Cecil can stop sucking ass.

The four Elemental Lords were almost unbearable. It was some massive endurance test, that took me three tries. Edge attacked (he does 400 more damage than Cecil), Rydia used the appropriate -ara spell, Rosa healed, FuSoYa used his -aga spells. Cecil fed Ethers to my party, and acted as a secondary healer. FuSoYa was the last one standing. I love my moon-man.

CPU, and nodes.
Round 1: Edge, Rydia, Cecil, and Rosa defended. FuSoYa used Herme's shoes to haste himself.
Round 2: Edge, Rydia, Cecil, and Rosa defended. FuSoYa cast reflect on himself.
Round 3: Edge and Cecil attack CPU. Rydia casts Thundara on FuSoYa (hits CPU), FuSoYa casts Flare on Defense Node. Defense Node dies.

For the rest of the fight, Edge and Cecil beat down CPU, FuSoYa keeps using flare on it, Rosa heals, and Rydia gives FuSoYa ethers or uses Thundara.

I went to the Land of summons, purchased the best equips I could, and gave Cecil the Genji set since he does more damage than Kain (which makes him more valuable).

I'm about to enter crystal palace. My setup follows:
