Find FuSoYa/Golbez fighting Zemus, Zeromus takes them out
Cutscenes from Earth, Party gets the power

[Zeromus]	~61000 HP
Ce: Use Crystal to change the form to Zeromus
Ro: Bersk on Kain
Ed: Dart Gungnir
Ry: Throw DD on Zeromus
Ce: Wait for Nuke, If Ka/Ed were Nuke, Elixir Them, otherwise Parry

(If Cecil was Nuked)	 Ed: Wait for Big Bang to start, Elixir Edge
(If Cecil was not Nuked) Ed: Dart Gungnir

(BIG BANG)

Ry/Ro will be dead

*FINAL BOSS NOTES*

Cecil either lives or dies (nuke). If he lives he throws elixirs on each of his turns and edge darts. Otherwise Edge heals.

(BIG BANG)

Ed: Elixir

(BLACK HOLE)

Kain will get one more Berserk attack in then, he will get a turn
	*Here Edge/Kain switch roles - Edge is attacker, Kain is Elixir*

Ed: Dart Gungnir
Ka: Elixir Ka/Ed who wasn't before

At this point, you need to be aware that he is going to reset into his second phase. This happens after 45000 damage has been done. He immediately shakes and big bangs on phase change, followed by black hole and nuke.

Ideally Kain does the healing and Edge does the damage. This fight can go a lot of different directions so mapping it out is a little rough. However, Zeromus's AI is always the same, so just practice and it'll be a snap.

Phase 3 he starts to Meteo. At this point it takes 2 darts and 2 attacks from Kain or 3 darts from Edge to kill him. Trying to finish him is typically the better choice than healing, since hyeae spams those meteos.
