1. a sequel game is being made....
2. you can't beat Altum, it's part of the plot/storyline. If you could beat Altum (and Rughart and Valencio, and there's also Darhart, that vampire lord guy too), you'd change the plot/storyline seen if you were to re-visit (hint hint) the Pharaoh's Tomb's room in the foreshadowing of the upcoming sequal game being made.....
3. I had the same problem against the L. Kerberos, as I used that warrior-physical party of Hero, Gath'D, Phalen, and Tirah (I think one of the magical characters does have a spell to lower the EVA, to "undo" the L. Kerberos' casting of EVA on itself).
HOWEVER, you need to simply keep (re-loading and) re-fighting the L. Kerberos, as you'll soon have a battle against it, where it doesn't cast off EVA on itself (at least hopefully in time before you kill it), *grins*.
If you've played other RPGs before, this is the "random seed generator" trick/cheat that many of us know of and use. However, for most RPGs it's more annoying or tricky to use. For this game, the "random seed generator" is changed simply by loading your game, you don't have to do other stuff, to change the battle sequence/outcome. hehe.
------------------------------------------------
If you have the Hero, Gath'D, Phalen, and Tirah:
1. in/as your party
2. all have moon equipment
3. all at least clvl 50
you can beat all the LMs easily (except it might tkae a few tries to get the L. Kerberos to NOT cast EVA in battle, lol):
round 1:
Hero: mass power
Gath'd : mass EVA
Phalen: mass protect
Tirah: mass immunity
round 2:
Hero: mass might
Gath'd : mass dodge
Phalen: mass barrier
Tirah: mass (whatever the weaker form of immunity, raise MDEF, is called)
round 3:
Hero: final attack skill: ~15,000 damage
Gath'd: final attack skill: 10,000-15,000 damage
Phalen: final attack skill: ~15,000 damage
Tirah: final attack skill: ~15,000 damage
*the lower life LMs are dead.
round 4:
Hero: final attack skill: ~15,000 damage
Gath'd: final attack skill: 10,000-15,000 damage
Phalen: final attack skill: ~15,000 damage
Tirah: final attack skill: ~15,000 damage
