====Strategy====
The Time Being is accompanied by two [[side winder]]s. They are lined up thusly:
*Side winder
*The Time Being
*Side winder

At the beginning of the battle, the Time Being will cast [[Magic Barrier]] to protect himself 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, he 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 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 himself. 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. He can also use [[Dazzleflash]] to lower the accuracy of your party. 

First, deal with the side winders and then pound away using the {{Party 7}}'s most powerful attacks. As always, {{Maribel}} should have the [[staff of salvation]] in her inventory to heal the {{Party 7}} due to her naturally high {{Agility}}. [[Oomph]] should be cast on both the {{Hero 7}} and [[Ruff]] to deal heavy physical damage. Once the Side winders are defeated, the battle becomes much easier.
