Final Boss Help...*SPOILER ALERT*
I need some tips on how to use each character when facing Amalgam. Not on who to use first, I'll end up with them all by the end anyway, but just different ideas on skills and tactics.
Just sos ya knows, my best characters are Lita (she got tons of EXP due to always landing the finishing kill) and Marietta (since she comes in so frickin high), while my worst is Delsus (he's barely in cuz I never figured out how to do much damage with him). I plan on topping out past 50 for everybody before trying again.
And I haven't done any blacksmithing cuz the stupid weapons I'm using won't show up when I try to add on crystals.

Re: Final Boss Help...*SPOILER ALERT*
Only certain items can be smithed. (Smithed? Is that an actual word? >.> ) I found a list on GameFAQs:
~~~ Canes ~~~
Klein's Cane.......................Klein's starting weapon.
Wing Staff.........................Norn's starting weapon.
Fairy Cane.........................Purchasable, Norn can equip.
Astral Cane........................Finish Lector's list + bonus dungeon.
Divine Cane........................Chest in Flawless Marvel, Req. flight.
~~~ Claws ~~~
Fairy Claw.........................Purchasable.
Ebony Claw.........................Bonus.
Astral Gauntlet....................Purchasable late in game, weapons shop.
~~~ Swords ~~~
Whip Sword.........................Marietta starts with this.
Fairy Blade........................Purchasable.
Eden Blade.........................Mull's dungeon (post game).
Phantom Blade......................Found late in game.
Para Sword.........................Path to Heaven. Req. flight to get it.
~~~ Bows ~~~
Galgazit Bow.......................Found in Silencia.
1. Locket of Love
2. Bio Frame
3. Locket of Wishes
4. Fairy Bracelet
5. Siglis Breath
But that's what I would recommend first and foremost. Adding in multiple attacks and increased damage to some of your weapons really helps. Also, adding some increased magic to Klein and Norn's weapons helps. You don't have to go nuts on it (because you can seriously overpower yourself if you take the time), just do a little bit to give yourself an edge. Also, once you've done that, don't hesitate to make full use of skills. Have Klein pop out an offensive or defensive synthesis (Mark of Weakness or Courage are good choices) at the beginning of the fight, but leave him to heal whenever needed afterwards. (Also, if you think you'll need it, have a full stock of Mana Items available before the fight). If you're using Lita, have her use Pale Wing as soon as possible. Jump Kick is probably the best skill to use if you have it leveled enough. If not, MeteorStrike is good. If Klein somehow dies, use Marietta to main heal. For this reason, I'd recommend leaving her out of the party until that happens (if it happens). I'd definitely recommend using Klein and Lita, but if you really want, go for Marietta too. I just prefer to keep her around for backup. Norn is useful if you've been leveling some of her attack magic (Telekinesis and Shrink). I don't recommend Delsus for too much unless you've really pumped him up.
As for the boss itself, there's really not a whole lot you can do aside from just smack him/her/it (depending on phase I guess) around. If it tries to go into a really big attack, do whatever you can to interrupt it. Elemental Extraction is EVIL. Do your absolute best to break it.
Hope that helped.

Re: Final Boss Help...*SPOILER ALERT*
It's been a while since I fought Amalgam, but you want to have Klein revive fallen party members. That way you can save the Herbal Elixers for if Klein falls. Deka Crafts or other Crafts are nice for damage. Have as many Mana Items premade as you can for Power Item when you can attack and Wide Item when you're healing.
Other than that, just have some caffiene with you because it's a long fight.

Re: Final Boss Help...*SPOILER ALERT*
I can't make herbal elixers so I was screwed every time Klein died.
I did find Delsus good for Skill Breaks, but I usually used Lita, Klein, and Norn. Lucky for me, First Strike tended to go off so I could Pale Wing before even gettting hit.
Finally beat it today; I didn't get any Reason Requiem which is what usually killed me (never failed...Klein would get Knockdown status and I couldn't save everyone)
