Strategy
 
Prepare to defend against mostly physical attacks, and remember that if you kill only one of them, the other will try to resurrect the first with its next turn. OBerserk can stop this resurrection from starting, and following it up with OFlash will help keep you from taking too great a pounding. There's only 10000 HP total to knock off, so this shouldn't be too difficult, even with three in the party.

Strategy
 
Garula attacks physically, and counters physically. Therefore, OFlash and OPond's Chorus help significantly, though Garula can remove his Toad status unless silenced. !Guard and Cover work well in combination.

Strategy
 
Gil Turtle is fast and uses physical attacks, and counters every attack twice, sometimes adding Darkness and Poison. If you beat him, he'll kill everyone not floating in retaliation. Up your evasion, put up Golem, haste yourself up, and use as many Ice-based attacks as you have available.

Strategy
 
This version casts a lot of blue and protective magic, so spamming with OMute helps. There are no real weaknesses to exploit, so a number of classes are equally useful. A Blue Mage with O1000 Needles is good because of the known quantity of damage you'll get each turn.

You don't need to KO Gilgamesh here to win the battle; he will flee when damaged somewhat. If you want to actually KO him, he must be Stopped so that you can pick away at him quickly with physicals, OGravity or ODeath Claw.

Strategy
 
To move the fight along, you need knock off only about 13000 HP from his total. Do it quickly, hasting to help it along while healing from attacks and status ailments. Once he starts talking, the fight is essentially over. Keep yourself alive in the meantime.

Again, this Gilgamesh won't appear if you didn't take the SwordExcalipoor. If you did, though, he might appear any time you hit Necrophobe after he's under 10000 HP. You don't fight this Gilgamesh at all, but you can steal his ArmorGenji Armor.

Strategy
 
Pound on Gilgamesh until he gets below 6000 HP, and then he will bring Enkidu into the fight. Enkidu will immediately heal Gilgamesh. After that, use Golem to protect against physicals, and continue to beat on Gilgamesh (using OSlow if they're getting in too many attacks). It is optional to defeat Enkidu first.

Strategy
 
You don't actually want to defeat this boss, merely the enemies attacking him. The best way to do that is multi-target attacks that won't damage Golem, and the best way to do that at this point is with Romeo's Ballad (for Stopping) and Requiem (for damage).

Strategy
 
Every offensive summon will result in a counter that will kill one of your party. The damage you will inflict is not worth this, so summon only Carbuncle. Watch out for ODispel, though, because every seventh turn results in a casting of OHoly, and this too will kill any un-reflected characters unless you are also Shelled and have insanely high HP.
