Girgashiy strategies

The statements are true, however for second one, the souls spawn at user's position the moment the light flashes on the screen. The tactic I used is usually, one person stalling the soul, and resurrects 15 others members (usually they just let their soul walk to Giragashy and then be resurrected by party feather) so they can freely attack Girgashiy, and stalling the clones is a waste of time (for other 15 raid members), although it requires a lot of party feathers to do it. Soul Absorption will end if all souls are gone or his purple bar depleted to 0. If all souls are gone before the purple bar is depleted to 0, he can spam that over and over which is very dangerous. As for my hard mode runs, we usually have 3-4 party healers and spam party heal to keep them alive and over-heal the Holy Contagion. And a high splash weapon may work, however it will not work 100% of time, because someone tried at Normal and failed. I forgot to mention, in Hard, the souls will run at "faster" speed than in normal.
