Stratagy:

Attack Hojo directly. Don't bother with the samples. Whenever you kill one, Hojo will use Capsule and ressurrect them. Once you take out Hojo, the samples will dissappear, and Helletic Hojo will appear.

24000 400

Stratagy:

The key to this battle is to attack the Left Arm. Killing the Right Arm and the main body don't do anything. They will just be revived. Start off by draining the main body's MP by using Magic Hammer or Ghost Hands. Casting Barrier on your party will lessen the effect of the Right Arm's Stab attack. Then destroy the Left Arm and the final battle with Hojo will begin.

Stratagy:

By casting Magic Hammer one time, you can eliminate Lifeform Hojo NA's Slow and Silence attacks. Follow that up with Barrier or Big Guard on yourself to leave him wide open to attack. Hit him with physical attacks, magic, summons, rocks, sharp sticks. Anything on hand can be used to take him out. If you've got Barret with you, Catastrophe would be a fitting -and easy- end. Especially if you picked up and equipped Barret's Missing Score on the stairs leading upto Hojo.
