    Thanks stormbolter! Worked pretty well for me. To refine this a little bit: Equip Dark Mail for Crono and Ruby Vests for the ladies

    Used Crono (35), Frog (33) and Ayla (32). Just Volt Bite the left arm once, attack and heal2 with frog until the left arm dies, then it's easy peasy japanesey. Just attack the face, and kiss and heal2 occasionally until the left hand restores (don't focus on the right hand). When the arm is spawning back it'll be with less health. Try to not attack with Crono or Ayla in the seconds before it spawns and just wait until you can Volt Bite. The left arm will die in one hit and rinse and repeat.

    Can someone explain why this doesn't have the missable tag on it? I don't understand why a lot of the achievements on this site (this one is a great example) where something is missable and doesn't have the tag. Fortunately I caught this one and won't over level, but I would be admittedly upset if I had to start a whole new file just to snag this one.

    A parte dificil da conquista é não subir de nivel até lá, eu cheguei lá no Lvl 30 me concentrei mais em obter a habilidade Confuse, na batalha eu usei somente Confuse (Chrono) e Cat Attack(Ayla) e me concentrei em dar suporte com a Marle(Cure e Haste) de resto não foi difícil eu salvei antes pra usar as Pastilhas(speed, strength, int) mas não era necessário

    @blisszero qual a rota que tu fez? a padrçao ou pulou alguma coisa?

    I was like Level 42. Used Chrono, Ayla, and Frog, Spire on Left Hand and Head. Kiss to keep characters above 400 HP, and Cat Attack the head otherwise. It was quite easy, and I didn't have to use any items.

    Thx for adding the missable mark. I have to restart the game anyways, but at least it'll help the next ones!

    Crono + Marle + Frog, use Marle Haste, Frog Healing, Crono Confuse/Chaos Slash, and equip Ruby Armor, or some like this.

    Já derrotei o giga gaia várias vezes e de vários modos diferentes sem usar nenhum item e tô no level 32 ainda, mesmo assim a conquista nem se quer apareceu pra mim.
    ANDRESONZX1 24 Jul 2024 23:27
    Finalmente consegui desbloquear essa conquista até que em fim kllll.
    Basicamente eu usei Chrono, aula e FROG usava a aula pra curar com Kiss que por incrível que pareça e uma das poucas citas que não contam como tecnologia e usava os 3 pra atacarem primeiro a mão esquerda pra tirá-la da luta e depois focava todos os ataques na cabeça, só usei ataque físico com os 3 e a aula usava Kiss pra curar todo mundo, durante a luta o FROG morreu e eu continuei com Chrono e aula até o fim e finalmente consegui a conquista mais complicada do jogo até agora.
    Meus personagens tavam no nível 30 a 31 durante essa batalha.

    Easily did this with Crono and Marle being level 22 while Ayla was 24. I had red vests equipped on both Crono and Ayla to absorb fire damage for easy heals and had Marle equipped with the black vest to absorb fire damage. I used magic tabs on Crono and power tabs on Ayla to increase damage and mainly used volt bite on the left hand then after it dies attacked the head till it died. Marle was used to cast haste on the party and did some emergency heals but yeah even at low levels this is an extremely easy battle as long as you’re equipped properly.

    It was actually pretty easy. I used Crono, Marle and Ayla - Spam Volt Bite on the left arm until it's gone and then focus on the head, also with Volt Bite. Marle just heals when necessary, or hastes Crono and Ayla. Chars were level 26-27.

    If you think you're doing the right thing and the achi is not popped, try restarting the emulator. ;P
    mynoots 25 Nov 2024 07:15
    Did it at level 23. You basically go fetch all the black chests. Equip fire mail on marle so she absorb the fire attacks, shadow mail on chrono equipped with the swallow, cure on ayla with marle.

    Normal attack chrono, cat attack with ayla. Haste everyone cure when need be. Extremely easy i stayed low level just for this achievement and i am surprised at how levels are insignificant in this game! 🤯

    Just use Storms Strat and ignore everything else. Easy Peasy

    This Cheevo is so f***ing bugged, i tried 5 times without using items, Crono Lv 33 / Marle Lv 30 / Ayla Lv 32, i have to close the emulator and load my save normally.
    The strategy i use was to use Marle's Cure2 and Haste, then spam Volt Bite, Easy battle... or at least it was supposed to be...

    Consegui usando Crono (34), Ayla (33) e Marle (33).

    Equipei as red e black vests para absorver os danos de fogo e escuridão dos ataques mais fortes.
    Crono e Ayla usaram Volt Bite somente. Marle usou Haste nos três e curou uma única vez, usando Ice 1 pra dar uns ~300 de ano extra por turno. Seguindo as dicas deixadas aqui, ignorei o braço direito por completo, derrubando o esquerdo para então focar na cabeça.
    Foi bem fácil.

    Did it with Crono (34), Ayla (33), and Marle (33).

    I equipped Red and Black Vests to absorb the fire and shadow damage from the stronger attacks.
    Crono and Ayla just spammed Volt Bite. Marle cast Haste on all three and only had to heal once, using Ice 1 to deal around ~300 bonus damage per turn.
    Following the tips left here, I completely ignored the right arm, took down the left, and then focused on the head.
    Pretty easy overall.
