The winning strategy for the final battle can be summed up thusly:

1. Be absolutely and completely BUFFED up before initating the final battle.

2. When the battle starts, take out the mage standing behind the twins first. He's the guy that largely responsible for spawning all those enemy summoned monsters.

3. As you've seen, you will get stunned very shortly after the start of the battle. Hopefully, you allied yourself with the archmonk and his pals in the prison. They are the cavalry. After you are unstunned, run your mage and cleric away from the twins and to the bottom of the screen/room to stay out of range of their stunning attacks, then have them start summoning your own allies. Have some attack the twins. Have others attack any remaining allies of the twins. After the enemy cannonfodder is finished off send all of your allies against the twins to keep them busy.

4. Your job at this point is to survive long enough to have the twins' magical defenses expire. Using summoned monsters to keep them busy and immobile works wonders. After their defenses wear off, they are vulnerable and beatable.

5. If Isair goes invisible, cast some sort of Invisibility Purge to make him un-invisible.

6. If one of your characters gets stunned and poisoned, he/she could die while stunned. Have your cleric either unstun them so that they can take an antidote themselves OR cast a HEAL or Mass Heal on them. Do not let a character die of poison while stunned.

I'll let you continue from here. If you can get this far, you should be able to complete the task.
