Abilities
Attack - Counterattacks against all characters if their platforms are positioned side by side, causing around 700 Hit Points of damage.
Berserk Tail - Inflicts physical damage of around 1,100 Hit Points plus Berserk upon a single character.
Glyph Mine - Detonates a mine on two random platforms, only causing damage to characters actually upon either of the platforms.
Strategy
Populate your front line with Tidus, Yuna, and Auron. You may wish to bring in Rikku later. Auron (the character with the most Hit Points) should be in front of the Keeper, with Tidus and Yuna behind it. Move any of them off of a platform, which is about to be Glyph Mined regardless of whatever else is happening. The Spectral Keeper doesn't have an exact pattern of attack, but it uses Berserk Tail on each turn until they've struck it with four hits and are counterattacked. Thereafter it uses Glyph Mine attacks. Have Yuna cast Protect on Auron. Have Tidus use Provoke and then Guard (press the 'Triangle' button) on succeeding turns. Auron should attack, using his Overdrive when available. Exchange Wakka for Yuna when Hit Points are reasonably high and he can attack as well. Heal Berserk Tail damage with Yuna's Curaga, if you have Berserkproof armor equipped. Heal counter attack damage with Hi-Potions. Phoenix Down potions or Yuna's Life white magic if your characters are ever Knocked Out. Yuna can summon her aeons for lots of Overdrive related damage if you wish.
