This is it, the final showdown with the Turks. They hit harder than ever and are immune to all immobilizing statuses, so this should be a good and fun battle. Transform is the way to go here and it's most likely the last time it will be used in this challenge. This battle is luck reliant, but mostly in the beginning, so a pre-emptive strike sure helps. They seem to happen quite often in this battle.

This is another one of those battles where the setup takes up half the battle. Before it's safe to start attacking, you should have Barrier, MBarrier, four Hero Drink and Slow on the Turks. Do not Haste yourself, or you will just spend most of the turns using Light and Lunar Curtains. Once everything is up and running, you need to wait for a turn where you take as little damage as possible before you can attack.

To make sure the battle doesn't last any longer than necessary, I redid Ultimate Weapon with the KotR strategy to ensure that I got the most powerful single target Enemy Skill. Also, there's only one opportunity to steal in this battle, so make sure to get that third Ziedrich from Rude. Cait uses a Ziedrich and Touph Ring in this battle for as much defense as possible.

I wonder where the Turks are going after the battle. Maybe they're going to take a well deserved vacation on the Turks and Caicos islands?
