Unlike your previous boss fights, Poseidon actually won't be easy! First, you can't even inflict damage to him through his forcefield. The only way to break it is to strike with the Trident Briggs' Grandma forged for you (you DO have it, right?). Give the Trident to your fastest character so that all the others can attack with Summons once Poseidon's forcefield goes down. You should keep using the Trident the entire battle; it is a reliable source of damage to the king of the sea. Also, have another character concentrate of healing; Poseidon attacks several times each turn with powerful Mercury Psynergy. As long as you break his shield and keep your party strong, you should be able to beat him. And if you don't, try again.
Your battle with Chief Moapa and his Knights (since when do Indian chiefs call their warriors knights?) will be your second Boss battle against humans. Like Briggs and his crew, this battle will face you against a main boss and two of his underlings. Unlike with Briggs, Moapa doesn't have the ability to summon more Knights (thankfully). The only thing making the battle hard, besides the toughness of Moapa, is his party's love of attack items (namely Bramble Seeds and Crystal Powder). If all 3 of his party members use items on you, it could seriously damage or even fell some of your party members. Remember to lead with powerful Summons, leaving Jenna free to heal. Have all your other party member concentrate on Moapa; after he goes down, his Knights are easy.
Your next Boss Battle will put you up against two very tough enemies. The main thing making this battle hard, however, it the fact that you only start out with Felix and Piers. Every few turns, Jenna, then Sheba, will join the battle. Fortunately, this is also the only battle you don't have to win. You can continue the game even if you are defeated. You will have to be very careful during the turns when this battle is two-on-two. With no healer, play very conservatively (hopefully Felix or Piers has a healing item). As usual, begins with powerful Summons (Ulysses for Jenna so she can heal). When Summoning and attacking concentrate all your attacks on Karst; she is weaker and will go down first. The battle steadily gets easier as the turns wear on and more party members join the fray. It will also be much easier after Karst is gone. An attack you really have to worry about, however, is Meteor Blow, possibly the strongest Psynergy in the game. It can deal about 400-500 damage to each of your party members on average!
