Antlion Summary
The Antlion is a Lvl. 20 Insectoid that has a lot of immunities and tons of HP (20000 HP). It is a powerful enemy that can easily overpower you if you are underlevelled.
It is also a hidden enemy in the demo that you can encounter on the way to Grandport Harbor from the Village of Kol. Along this path is a quicksand that you can cross either on foot or on a Chocobo. However, walking across it on foot will trigger this fight.
With the maximum level in the demo being Lvl. 15, a lot of players took the fight as a challenge. You can always come back to this fight once you reach higher levels and unlock more attack options, particularly water-type attacks.

How to Beat the Antlion Near the Village of Kol
[1] Use Water-Type Spells.
The Antlion is weak against Water-type attacks, so it is obvious that you should use them against it. More than that, it will counter Physical attacks so Magic attacks are the way to go like Watera and Waterga. Spellblade attacks are still effective, but be sure to anticipate its Counter Horn move, which can pepper your members down.
[2] Equip Physical Counter.
All of Antlion's moves are Physical attacks so use Physical Counter to easily get back at it whenever it is its turn to move. Equip this with Cover or Multi-cover and you can guarantee that this gets triggered every time the Antlion attacks.
[3] Be Patient, and Use Defensive Spells, Buffs, and Heals.
The Antlion is very resilient and powerful, so take your time switching between dealing damage and recovering lost HP. Its Counter Horn counterattack is very annoying to deal with, so Rain and Lasswell are guaranteed to take hits as most of their attacks are physical.
Use Protect and Cover to defend Fina and Lid, who are your healers and main spellcasters. They are also much more fragile than Rain and Lasswell.
