Part of the Series on the "Race for the Guides!" Superbosses.

Supplies: Just your everyday potions. These guys aren't too hard to beat if you know the trick.

Guard Ani
Guard Ani is VERY, VERY strong, his Defense only overshadowed by the IOEs. My strongest attacks did little more than 4k, so make sure you're well prepared. Ani is very fast and will spam Earthquake, doing about 100-500 damage (Depending on your defenses). His main problem is his DEF. Normally, Serene's Comet Bolt will do around 20k. On this guy, he does 5k...So you will probably want at least 999 of one stat AT THE BARE MINIMUM if ya wanna fight this guy!
Reward: 55,000 EXP/1K Mesos AAAND...
Zeru's new Blitz Command!

Ninto
Oh CRAP. He opens with Darkness Possession. Just pray Serene is fine so you can use Immunize. *Whew*
He has Defense like Ani and...Hold "Down." CRAP. As Before said, this either does 2k to your party or 1 damage. Pray it's the 1 damage. If he's almost dead, he gets Hold "Back." As always, 1 damage, but this time, it's 5k on the other hand.
He also has "Explosion: Hold ??? On Second Hit." I assume you have to press a button before it blows up, but if you fail...3K DAMAGE! WOO! He also has a crapload of Evasiveness.
The trick: Hold "Down"... DO EXACTLY AS IT SAYS!
The second trick: The ??? signs are...well, take CLOSE NOTE of the first hit. They will tell you what key to hold.
Reward: Same as Ani. EXCEPT, Ani is for Zeru, Ninto is for Lenna. Sucks to be you if you have to do Ninto! =P
I salute you, Zeru. You made some meaaan bosses. e_e
Maha
Maha is a Ninto clone. He has all the annoying "Hold" attacks along with the Dragon Crusher. Not that big of a deal. Same stats as others, plus drops the "Aran Shield."

If you don't like to read, I'll just list everything here:
Guard Ani
Earthquake. Trivial damage, 100-500
Very High Defenses

Ninto
Hold Down-- Penalty damage 2k
Hold Back-- Penalty Damage 5k, only used if near death.
Dragon Crusher (M) Trivial Damage
Explosion Sign: Hold ??? on second attack
Look CLOSELY at the direction of the yellow lines before the explosion.


EDIT: Found their HP values. Both have 99,999 HP and 700 of both DEF.
...That's MORE than a SIOE.
