Kurt Zisa alternated between two forms during the battle. It starts in the {{nihongo|'''Silence Form'''|サイレス形態|Sairesu Keitai}}. At the start of the Silence Form, Kurt Zisa will use Silence to seal the party's magic and summons. Kurt Zisa wields two glowing orbs in its hands, which need to be attacked. Once the orbs are destroyed, Kurt Zisa will be momentarily stunned, leaving its head exposed and vulnerable to attacks. In this state, Kurt Zisa can only use its Bite attack.
*{{nihongo|'''Trample Attack'''|踏みつけ攻撃|Fumitsuke Kougeki}}: During Silence, Kurt Zisa jumps into the air, dealing damage to the party if it lands on him.
*{{nihongo|'''Rush'''|突進|Tosshin}}: During Silence, if the party gets too far away, Kurt Zisa can perform a dashing attack toward them. It has small range, but touching the blades can hurt.
*{{nihongo|'''Windmill Slash'''|風車斬|Kazagurumazan}}: During Silence, Kurt Zisa stands still and spins its swords around, deflecting attacks and damaging the party.
*{{nihongo|'''Floating Dance'''|浮遊乱舞|Fuyū Ranbu}}: During Silence, Kurt Zisa leaps up and rapidly spins before dive-bombing the party. Sora should [[Dodge Roll]] under or jump over the horizontal spins, and Dodge Roll to the side of the vertical spins. Kurt Zisa won't use this attack until it has taken a certain amount of damage.
*{{nihongo|'''[[Firaga]] Bomb'''|ファイガボム|Faiga Bomu|lit. "Figa Bomb"}}: During Reflect Barrier, a sigil appears on the shield. Large fireballs appear around the arena and hover slowly around, acting as mines. These orbs can be deflected back by using [[Guard]], damaging its shield.
*{{nihongo|'''Sandstorm'''|サンドストーム|Sandosutōmu}}: During Reflect Barrier, Kurt Zisa raises its arms and summons four tornadoes around Sora, which then fuse into one larger tornado. Dodge Roll through them with correct timing to avoid damage.
*{{nihongo|'''[[Thundara]] Ball'''|サンダラボール|Sandara Bōru}}: During Reflect Barrier, orbs of electricity shoot from the ground directly at Sora. Kurt Zisa won't use this attack until it has taken a certain amount of damage.
*{{nihongo|'''[[Thundaga]] Ball'''|サンダガボール|Sandaga Bōru}}: At the end of Thundara Ball, a giant orb of electricity shoots from the ground directly at Sora.
*{{nihongo|'''Bite'''|かみつき|Kamitsuki}}: While defenseless, Kurt Zisa flails its neck wildly and bites Sora. It's harder to hit during this attack, but it can be deflected with a well-timed attack or [[Aero|Aerora/Aeroga]].
*{{nihongo|'''[[Silence]]'''|サイレス|Sairesu}}: Silences the party as soon as the battle starts, preventing them from using [[magic]] and [[Summon|summoning]]. The effect lasts until the two dark orbs in its hands are destroyed. Every other time it "wakes up" it will summon the orbs and cast Silence again.
<!--not listed as attack -- seems to be listed as phase of the battle or non-command techniques. Please decide how to cover it, as Ultimania does talk about Kurt Zisa "using Reflect Barrier", but doesn't give it any stats.


*{{nihongo|'''Reflect Barrier'''|リフレクトバリア|Rifurekuto Baria}}: Puts up a barrier that deflects physical attacks, but also drops [[MP prize]]s if struck with them. Between each use of Silence, Kurt Zisa will cast Reflect Barrier.
After a little while Kurt Zisa will enter its {{nihongo|'''Reflect Barrier Form'''|リフレクトバリア形態|Rifurekuto Baria Keitai}}. At the start of this form, Kurt Zisa summons a barrier around itself which blocks all physical attacks. The only way to harm it is by casting magic or deflecting projectiles back at it. Attacking the barrier with physical attacks makes it drop MP prizes. Once the shield is destroyed, Kurt Zisa will once again become stunned. After a while, it will go back to its Silence Form.

Kurt Zisa fights in three phases, each one granting it different attacks. The battle continues as it moves through its "Silence", "Bite", and "Reflect Barrier" phases until it is defeated.
Since Kurt Zisa is a rather difficult boss to defeat, it is efficient to Summon [[Tinker Bell]] right before magic is unusable as she can keep the party healed and revive Sora once if all his HP is drained. Another option is to cast Aero magic before Silence is cast so damage from Kurt Zisa's attacks is reduced while magic is sealed. Also, Aerora and Aeroga allow Sora to inflict more damage on Kurt Zisa when in range of its hands or head.
<!--merge into "Silence"
In stage one, Kurt Zisa wields two glowing orbs in each of its top hands. Kurt Zisa only uses physical attacks in this form. The party cannot use magic until the orbs are destroyed. Once destroyed, the battle will fall into stage two.
--><!--merge into "Bite"
In stage two, Kurt Zisa will become stunned and fall into a sitting position and its head will coil out like a snake. Kurt Zisa is vulnerable now and Sora can harm it. Its only attack is a weak bite attack. After a while, Kurt Zisa will go into stage three.
--><!--merge into "Reflect Barrier"
In stage three, Kurt Zisa floats in the air and protects itself with a shield. As it hovers around the arena, it will summon tornadoes to deal damage to Sora and make fireballs rise from the ground. Sora can only damage the shield through magic or hitting the fireballs it summons back at it. Summon and [[Thunder]] spells work well against the shield. If attacked physically, the shield will drop MP prizes. When the shield is destroyed, Kurt Zisa will go into stage two again. After a while, stage one will commence again. To save [[MP]], simply wait until Kurt Zisa summons fireballs and then deflect them back. They will automatically go towards Kurt Zisa, track its movement, and damage the protective barrier, though this will make the battle longer.

Also, having Aerora/Aeroga allows Sora to inflict more damage on Kurt Zisa if the shield is in range of its hands or head.
Another strategy to get past its shield mode quickly is to summon [[Mushu]], [[Genie]], or [[Dumbo]] and use [[Fire]], [[Showtime]], or [[Splash]] to break through the shield. Alternatively, Sora can summon [[Bambi]] and hit Kurt Zisa with offensive spells while Bambi drops magic orbs.
