Defeating Zoma

Before facing Zoma, defeat:

• Soul of Baramos: Weak to Zap.
• Bones of Baramos: Similar weaknesses to the Soul; Kazap and Monster Wrangler combos are highly effective.

Zoma: Conserve MP initially. Use the Sphere of Light to remove Zoma's magic barrier, then exploit their Zap weakness with Kazap. Prioritize HP and revive fallen party members. Strategic play is crucial.
