• Monk: Any melee sub is fine (preferrably War or Nin- but Nin is not necessary). NPC as Fierce Attacker, but any other style is fine. The battle is remarkably easy for the Monk job. You will need at most 3 Hi-Potions. Once the cutscene is over, eat your meat, begin boosting. Use an Icarus Wing (not necessary, but will make it that much easier). Keep boosting until the 9th or 10th boost as you run towards Vassago. Engage him as soon as the distance allows you to, Dodge, Focus, Hundred Fist, Chi-Blast, then Raging Fist. Let 100 Fists do its job (most likely Vassago will begin his Blighted Gloom during your 100 fist- keep an eye out and be ready). Remove lock and run away from Blighted Gloom as necessary. Chakra when 100 Fists is over and let loose another Raging Fist as it should be ready by now. Use 1-2 Hi-Potions as necessary. Vassago should be down to 25% hp or less. A few more punches and swings by your NPC, and goodbye Demon. Battle should be over in 4-5 minutes.
