	At the beginning of the battle, the Time Being will cast [[Magic Barrier]] to protect ~~itself~~ and the side winders from the {{Party 7}}'s spells. As such, it is best not to rely on magic against this boss. If the barrier wears off, it will recast it. If possible, the player should try to cast [[Sap]] early in the battle before it has the chance. [[Tongue Bashing]] can prove invaluable as it will stun the Time Being for a single turn and lower ~~its~~ defences.

[[Tongue Bashing]] can prove invaluable as it will stun the Time Being for a single turn and lower his defences.

	To make matters more frustrating, the side winders use the [[sands of time]] at various times during the battle, resetting the fight back to the beginning. The Side winders must be defeated first before focusing on The Time Being ~~itself~~. Group-hitting techniques such as [[Lightning]] and breath attacks are ideal to damage all three at once. The Time Being will bombard the {{Party 7}} with both [[Frizzle]] and [[Boom]], so the player should prepare beforehand by equipping the party with magic-resistant armour such as [[platinum mail]], [[Magic vestment]], and [[magic shield]]s. It can also use [[Dazzleflash]] to lower the accuracy of your party.
