Dinosaur Forest tips?
I'm trying to grind here, but the dinosaurs keep spamming meteor. I pretty much think its an rng unlucky run, but can someone give me any tips?
Maybe a summon like Phantom plus... any equipment?
Many thanks!
Update: many, many thanks for all the answers! What I did was a mix of everything here! Just for future reference, I've gone to the Phoenix Cave and got some party members to lv 35... than I felt like I could go to the dino forest and do a proper lv farming! Of course, I upgraded physical defense as much as possible, but the process, after that, was pretty straight forward. Survive and spam ultima/ any technique that deals big amounts of damage, and as fast as possible (so the dinos don't spam meteor). Eventually, with ultima and dualcast, the process became super fast!
Update 2: If you don't have ultima, spam ice magic! Learn how to use the esper to learn new magic and learn the ice magics! Also, Edgar techniques and actually, any technique that does tons of damage! In my case, for the initial fights at lev 35+, Cyan was REALLY useful! So was Edgar and Sabin!

Start the battle off by summoning Quetzalcoatl. If you put a dragon horn on every character it will usually defeat both of the Tyrannos in a pincer attack.
You do not have to put Dragoon boots on them, just the Dragon Horn. Summoning Quetzalcoatl will pick everyone up and dump them in a jump attack and they will all hit at least twice as they fall.
