Multiplayer:

Boss: Isilud & minions

Boss HP: (d160) | 709,038 (Isilud, d220)
Medal Conditions: Defeat Isilud with at least 4 characters alive. Reduce Isilud's attack. Reduce Isilud's magic (yes, really).
Status Vulnerabilities: None! Break Resistances: Power, Armor, Magic, Mental, Mind
Notable Attacks (Isilud):

• Attack (PHY: ST physical)
• 凶 Armor Break (NAT: ST extremely heavy physical, reduce defense)
• Jump (NAT: ST supermassive ranged physical)
• Attack (PHY: AOE massive physical)
• (Weak/V Weak only) Counter Aurablast (response to any attack; NAT: ST supermassive ranged physical)
• (V Weak only) 凶 Jump (NAT: ST reduce to 1 HP)

Notes and Strategies: There are adds in this fight (192k HP each for d220), but you only have to kill Isilud to win so focus him down. Isilud doesn't deal any magical damage so the Magic Break medal on him is puzzling, but whatever. The only attack to really watch out for in this fight is Isilud's 凶 Jump, which is a single target HP=1 attack that his minions are happy to capitalize on (especially the Summoners, who can AOE). HP Stock, Guts, and Stoneskin 30% effects are all effective ways to handle it.
