Did anyone ever...

I beat them everywhere you find them.
Have plenty of remedies and auras.
Have one character immune to at least confuse, berserk, and death.
Place the auras on the person who is immune.
Have rinoa in your party.
Use her limits to become invincible.

You must be having a hard time to kill a marboro if you junction like this. You shouldn't just have a character immune to confuse, berserk and death, you should have all of them immune too, and there's no need to use remedies if you have treatment. Remedies can only cure regular abnormal status, it can't cure curse and slow death, treatment can heal all kind of status.

Rinoa's limit break was quite accurate, i brought her along and put aura on her was hoping she'll hit me with invinsible moon, but unfortunately, I only got Angelo rush and angelo strike more than getting invinsible moon, I don't have the luck, sad.

BTW, if anyone need some help on battle strategy, you can PM me

Does Odin auto-summoning and slicing them up count?

I'm sure I've done it a few times since I needed the tentacles for obtaining Doom Train and I think also for Quistis' "Save the Queen"; it's been a couple of years though, so I don't remember exactly HOW I did it

I did try to stay at a lower level in the game though...

I have had Odin do it and then I have also done Lionheart to kill them, other than that, I havent beaten one...man they were a pain in the ass to kill

I did, they were a pain in the rear end at first, But then they got easier once i found out a good way to defeat them ^.^.

More effort in your posts would be appreciated guys.

Please share said strategy - and how you manage to use Eden before you get done over by bad Breath )

If you can summon Eden before a Malboro uses Bad Breath then you're pretty lucky or very fast, i'm curious to hear your strategy even with auto-haste and iniciative it would be tough.

To beat these suckers, u gotta junction *confuse, *beserk and petrify or sleep to ur status- j (to @ leasat one character)- pain may do the trick too. I'm not sure. This way, @ least onne character can withstand the worst of bad breath and treat the rest of the gang. The problem being that once you treat everybody , malboro, the @##$ he is just uses it again. If you have a decent hp, and dont have poison junctioned u can turn this instant ko into less of a threat. O and I ran into one of these in ultimecias castle, it was super dirty, knocked off about 4 hours of play

I suppose you could also junction the most powerful magic possible to your Status Defence junctions. If you have a percentage resistance to the ill-effects of his attack (or even immunity) then you should have nothing to worry about. Other than using Degenerator, I can only think of equipping Initiative and 100 Deaths to your Status Attack.

Those Marboro things were tough like the Tonberry...I always fled whenever I saw one or I quickly tried to kill it with Squall's Renzokuken Lionheart move if it was readily available...usaully that did the trick...

I think they were much easier to deal with in FF9 espacially with it being simple to increase your status defense...

I got more to say

Its funny, everytime I fight a marlboro I get berserked. One team member will wake up and its a slug fest from then on. sometime when I'm lucky I'll get two characters but that doesn't happen too often. Also I have a timer on my head so I gotta kill it before my 60 secs are up. XD
