HCBailly plays Final Fantasy IV (Super Famicom) - Part 59 of 70

Some of the enemies in the Giant of Bab-il are absolutely ruthless...though you can get huge experience out of here if you know what you're doing.

Giant of Bab-il Map (by FlyingArmor)

The Last Arm is weak to Thunder. The Electromagnetic Field casts Stop on whoever it is cast on, and Nuclear Explosion is a self-destruct attack on one party member that Last Arm does upon being destroyed.

The Machine Dragon (MachDragon) is a tough enemy with powerful spells that can damage the whole party tremendously. Have FuSoYa cast Tornado to make the battle easier.

The Giant Soldier (GiantSoldr) can be cut down to size with the Ogre Axe and the Fairy Claw. Amazingly, using both the Fairy and Thunder Claw with Edge does not do more damage, so you're better off using just the Fairy Claw.

Once you reach the save point, use the Alarms from the Searchers to summon MachDragons and GiantSoldrs to get loads of experience. You'll want Rydia to reach Level 55 and learn Flare, which will be useful in the next area. When you're done, Cecil should be in the high 50s, with everyone else at Level 55 or above.

When you reach the end, you'll face the Four Fiends again, even though you've already beaten them all before. They reveal that Lord Zemus has revived them, then Rubicante fully restores your HP and MP before you battle them all one by one again.

For Scarmiglione, have Rydia cast Fire 3 once on him. As you do this, Berserk both Edge and Cecil while Rosa and FuSoYa use strong Cure Spells. For Rubicante, cast two Ice 3 spells on him. For Cognazzo and Barbariccia, cast Bolt 3 on them until they die.

After you beat the Four Fiends, you won't be hearing from them again.
