Why the lack of courage?

Same deal with Garuda. Just Final Heaven one damned clone and burn the other down if you can't have Meteor. I've heard that Ifrit's Hellfire can be survived with a Last Bastion too.

If you kill 3/4 of the nails and Last Bastion is active, Hellfire does ~2k-2.5k damage I believe. Each nail gives a full LB bar so you will always have it no matter what if you don't use LB killing the nails. You just have to make sure to gather for Last Bastion.

We had to resort to that for some Ifrit kills as we kill him too fast to get to even LB2 now that we have a couple Relic+1's in the FC.
