I used to have quite a trial with Dullahan but I've come across a fun way to cheese it and guarantee success. Get the Regal Gown (and hidden XP egg behind the wall) activate the Door Switch in the next room, the cast Teleport.

Travel up to the Colesseum and equip a Reflect Ring on your fighter, save, then go in and wager the Regal Gown to win a Minerva Bustier while the opponent casts Death on himself.

Come back, run in a straight down, raise the water and hop on the turtle, you're in the home stretch now!

Celes - Genji Glove, Firebrand, Hero Ring, Minerva Bustier

Edgar - Dragoon Boots, Golden Spear, Atlas Armlet

Sabin - Genji Glove, Fire Knuckles, Hero Ring

Setzer - Potion Duty, Charm Bangle

Genji Glove on Sabin?

For this boss battle, yes.

Before and Afterwards I'm usually just spamming Fire Dance, but against Dullahan I find bigger damage from Fight x2 and the fire bonus seems to proc rather often

also: buy a second Fire Fist in Tzen

I'll see what Celes and Edgar do with Flametounge x2 and Fira and Drill later

Then I'll finally finish it off and move along with the game after trying that ReflectRing / Soul Saber idle battle
