*Sigh* The normal strategy when playing an RPG (especially one like Tales of Symphonia) is to gain levels if you can't beat a boss. Walk around the cave, fight random enemies and level up your characters because chances are that if you're dying THAT easily, you need to level up. Also you should make sure all your equipment is up to date, go from town to town and check if theres any weapons/armor better than what you've got. Honestly what do you want people to tell you? LEVEL UP! If for some reason you believe that your levels are fine (I doubt it since you say 3 hits kill you) then look up on GameFAQs, they offer strategies for every boss in the game.The team I suggest using is: Lloyd, Kratos, Colette and Raine. Put the strategy so that Raine does nothing but healing, Colette does nothing but Angel Feathers, Kratos alternates between attacks and healing, and meanwhile you control Lloyd and do whatever. Another helpful thing to have is Life Bottles or healing Gels. Hope that helped.

Which boss?The seal monster or the water summon Undine?

Deathtoidiot said seal, so I'm assuming that means the monster guarding the seal. If you're dying in three hits, how did you even make it this far? You must have been avoiding every enemy. Leveling up seems like the best thing to do. And this is obvious, but make sure none of your characters have water element weapons/spells - those will heal it.Gels and LifeBottles are always useful, and put the game on Normal if it isn't. That could be the problem. Make sure you're healed before you start, and try to have your Unison Gauge full. Above all else, level up. That's the biggest thing. I learned that in Final Fantasy for NES. If your characters are even five levels above the average for where you are, everything is easier.

Its easy to beat the boss....if you use those old basics. You know, healing, using weaknesses, BLOCKING!!!!!!!!!!!! People think they are too good to use blocking, like me before I got this advice. But, before I got the advice I was still undefeatable...
