This battle also has Eizen on the field fighting both you and the other Malak. If you get between the two men they will begin to attack Velvet and the rest of the party. It’s easier to focus on eliminating Eizen from the fight first, as his HP is slightly less than that of the ‘Mysterious Malak’. So knock him out and then switch gears to take on the other Malak. Neither of them have much in the way of weaknesses to exploit so just keep working on them until they fall.
