Preempt Mushussu manually--lure to the right until Mushussu charges forward (but be wary of the Yakshinis); exit the battle zone and run along its perimeter to the far wall, to force Mushussu to back towards the other wall; when Mushussu turns around (and the Yakshinis aren't facing forward), run into Mushussu's back.

Alternatively, if you have a bonus Deceptisol (and are either comfortable with manually preempting mission 26, or have another Deceptisol for that preempt), use a Deceptisol for an easy preempt.
