 The Cumulus vex is a tough boss, being able to act twice in a single turn. It uses wind-based attacks like [[Thin Air]], that hits all of the party for about 60 points of damage, and [[Wind Sickles]], that hits one {{Party 7}} member for 80 damage (~100 in the 3DS version). Its ability to summon multiple [[Sky fry|Sky fries]] makes the battle more difficult. Thankfully, the sky fries can be put to [[Sleep (status)|sleep]], have their spells sealed away, or [[Confusion|confused]] to take them out of the action.
-Attacks that hit more than one enemy are very helpful. Although it is expensive, the [[Flametang boomerang]] that can be purchased in [[Aeolus Vale]] will likely be the strongest weapon acquirable at that point that can hit all enemies. [[Boom]] is effective as well. Unfortunately, [[Ruff]]'s [[Call of the Wild]] and the [[Shepherd]]'s [[Lambpede]] are completely useless in the battle. Physical attackers should focus their attacks on the Cumulus vex or use [[Sword Dance]]. Spellcasters should keep the party healed, cast [[Kabuff]] and [[Oomph]] when necessary, and use group attack spells to defeat the [[Sky fry|Sky fries]]. [[Magic Barrier]] can also be cast to help protect the party, but in the 3DS version, it no longer reduces the damage taken from its wind attacks.

 Make sure that you keep your party's health is above 100 HP and that you are sufficiently buffed to achieve victory.
