Judge Ghis is a storyline boss in Final Fantasy XII. The party engages this Judge Magister on board the Leviathan. Three Imperial Swordsmen fight alongside him.
Ghis is fought alongside the other Judges on Stage 100 of the Trial Mode in the international version of the game. He is arguably the weakest of them.
He starts of the battle with Greater Barrier which gives him Protect and Shell statuses. Be sure to watch out for his attacks, for they do significant damage - possibly killing weak characters. The player should use Protect to lessen the damage dealt by Ghis. The player should have the entire party at level 14 or higher, as well as full Quickening gauges. Overall, this is an easy battle, as long as the characters are healed when necessary. Concentrate on taking down the Imperial Swordsmen first, then attack Judge Ghis to make the battle go smoother.
Another tactic is to have one ally run as soon as they are targeted in circles around the length of the room (after the other judges are dealt with). As Ghis will only walk, not run, the player will be able to stay just out of his reach, and have the other allies attack him with ranged weapons or magic as he is distracted.
A third tactic is to simply use a Quickening on him as soon as the battle starts, as 3x Rank I Quickenings and the resulting Inferno Concurrence will almost certainly kill him, or at least leave him with only a few HP left.
The battle ends once Judge Ghis's HP falls below 25% (1,030).
