How to Beat the Shoggoth
[1] Use Earth and Water Magic Attacks.
The Shoggoth's trait is its biggest defense: immunity to Physical damage. Therefore, it will only receive damage from Magic attacks. Magic attacks can come from spells or scrolls. Maximize the damage by using the correct affinity; it is weak to which are Earth and Water.
Even if you use spellblade moves, they will not work, as they are still classified as Physical attacks.
[2] Use Shellga and Arcane Guard.
Most of Shoggoth's damaging moves are lightning magic, so any spell that blocks or reduces the damage taken from Magic attack is very useful; two that come to mind very quickly are Shellga and Arcane Guard.
Arcane Guard halves the damage taken from one Magic attack while Shellga increases Magic defense for turns.
[3] Bring tons of Ether.
Since the Shoggoth is only weak against Magic attacks, you will be forced to use Magic spells and items only. Scrolls can be hard to come by, so you will most likely use Magic spells instead.
Magic spells consume MP, and the Shoggoth is extremely durable with 455000 HP; this will be a long fight. You will spend a lot of MP to defeat it, and the only way to recover MP is by using Ethers, which you can buy at the Dwarven Forge shop for 500 Gil.
