With 1,440 HP and a strong 50 Defense, Marilith has no elemental weaknesses. She uses Fire-based magic, so casting NulBlaze is the top priority.

Battle Strategy

This is a battle of physical endurance. Your White Wizard or Red Wizard must cast NulBlaze on the first turn. Your Black Wizard should cast Haste on your strongest fighters (Warrior/Monk). Since Marilith has no weaknesses, your mages’ best offensive options are status spells like Quake or Hold, which have a small chance of paralyzing her.

Battle against Marilith, the Fiend of Fire — The party endures Marilith's powerful physical and fire attacks

Buff your physical attackers relentlessly. Have your Knight and Master use Saber (from Giant’s Gloves) and keep Haste active. This fight is a pure damage race against a durable opponent, so maximizing your physical output is the only path to victory.

After the Battle

With Marilith’s defeat, the Fire Crystal is restored. A portal will appear to take you out of Mt. Gulg. Now two of the four fiends have been defeated, and your journey will lead you to the icy northern caves.
