Strategy

Many think Red Mage fight is hard but it is acually very easy.

As soon as you get into arena do this-

Protect IV and Shell III

Stoneskin, Blink, and Phalanx

Refresh and Haste

Now you are ready to fight

Do NOT heal.. it will just waste your valuable 10 minutes-

Now go just close enough to cast on Maat and Bind him-

Dispel him 4 times and you will get rid of his Protect, Shell, and others he may have on-

Now its time to enfeeble- Paralyze, Slow, Dia, Gravity, and of course Silence... (Note: Do NOT Dia Maat if you intend to sleep him as stated later in this guide)

Once you are done with that either start to spam Areo III or if he comes unbound bind him again. Heres where it gets tricky because when you are doing all that he could come unbound and your Bind recast time not be up yet. In that case Sleep II him. If he stays bound the whole time you have no worrys.

Once you are done casting Areo III a few times make sure you have enough MP to Sleep II him. Now check everything and real quick CONVERT. Now spam Hi-potions till full HP.

Now make sure you are Refreshed and all your defense buffs are up and Chainspell. Now its time for the fun. Elemental Seal and (Note: RDM doesnt have Elemental Seal for Maat fight, no sub job) Sleep II. Now its time for Maat to die. Throw every Areo III at him until NO MP left. Don't worry.. he will be dead before you have no more left.... :D

Follow this guide and you should have no problems.... NP.... ^.~
