This guide contains SPOILERS You may be asking why I would decide to write one of these when there is already one here on GameFAQs. You might say "Ravensoul, why did you decide to write one of these when there is already one here on GameFAQs?" This guide contains SPOILERS Well, I just didn't find what I was looking for in that guide. His tactics were solid but generic, meaning the reccommended Quick + Ultima tactics will work, but didn't really get into the meat of the fight. A bit about me. I have been playing FF3 since it's release on the SNES. I completed the game numerous times over the years in many different ways. I always been a fan of Final Fantasy (though each game past 7 gets less interesting). This guide contains SPOILERS In regards to this sexy guide, I am going to cover my ideas on how each boss should be taken. I will also include a cheap players strategy when applicable. There will also be Pro Tips, free of charge, When I think about it, which hold information, not always about the game, but information none-the-less.

I want to extend special thanks to Lufia_Maxim. without his exhaustive work on the beastiary this guide wouldn't have the Status Immunities, weaknesses, and Special Attacks, and Kefka wouldn't have stats.

The World of Balance and World of Ruin, the Final Battle, and the Legendary Dragons. The World of Balance is mostly linear in when you encounter Bosses, the only variation is in the Choose your Scenario stages. The World of Ruin is linear only in the beginning, then the world is open to you. Every boss is optional, except the Triad, Kefka and the Tentacles, Dullahan. After the airship you can go try and end the game with just Edgar, Setzer, and Celes. The Final Battle is a 3 part battle. In this you choose your battle order. Battle order will set a line-up of heroes to fight the final bosses. The First four on the list go first. If a character falls then the 5th character in the line up will replace the fallen character. If another character falls the 6th character will step in. And so on. The 8 Legendary Dragons are past of a Side Quest. You don't have to fight them, but if you defeat all 8 you will unlock the Crusader esper. In addition you will also unlock the Dragons Den, a dungeon with the 8 dragons in uber status and the Kaiser dragon. This FAQ will not be covering the Dragons Den bosses as there is already a couple excellent FAQs available. Dragons Den FAQs: **Reccomended** http://www.geocities.com/ancolinod/dragons_den.txt Author: Reyjavik http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/gbadvance/file/930370/47002 Author: Kinie Wings http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/gbadvance/file/930370/47076 Author: LightlessZero A few notes: Common sense would dictate that you don't want to take too much damage. Seeing as the back row halves physical damage, from and to, your character always assume I have told you to have everyone in the back row, even if I dont state to specifically. I just don't like repeatedly repeating myself repeatedly. I don't work for the Department of Redundancy Department. Bosses don't give experience, just like real life. Bosses don't give much, if any gold, just like real life (2g for Ultros). Not all bosses need to be fought, many are optional. If you want to rush through the game then get the airship and get 3 folks and go to Kefkas Tower. (Good Luck) I will not be giving character run downs for every Boss. Especially in the World of Ruin, where you pretty much choose your party. I will state who I used and how. There are numerous SUPER cheap strategies. I am one of those that go with it. You wanna rig your slots? Go for it! You want to see an imped Cyan beat something to death? More power to you! I am not going to put these strategies in the boss's section, but will list them in my F.A.Q.s Section. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= 4.1 - World of Balance Bosses -Listed in order of encounter (My playthrough) =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Ymir (What happened to Whelk?)

Wedge tells you this. Killing the shell nets you nothing of importance. Okay? okay! Anyway, Ymir will attack for minimal physical damage and randomly slime a character, which slows them. Tek Missile, Fire Beam,Fire Beam. Unload on the head. If I haven't Mentioned it, don't attack the shell, it blasts you with Gigavolt. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Guard Leader ======================== HP: 420 MP: 150 LVL: 8 Steal: Mythril Knife Drop: Hi-Potion Gil: 350 gil Immune To: --- Weak Against: Poison Absorbs: --- Type: Humanoid Status Immunity: Poison, Invisible Vulnerable to: Darkness, Zombie, MagiTek, Imp, Petrify, Death, Doom Critical, Image, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap, Sleep Slow, Stop Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: None Special Attack: Charge (200% damage) Strategy: Before hitting the point where Terra falls you will want to unequip her. The Mythril Knife will be helpful to locke. This boss is pretty tough at the levels a player will generally meet him at. In addition he has two Silver Lobo that you must kill before you can even hit him. As long as 1 Silver Lobo is alive the Leader won't use his stronger attacks. Have Locke attack and Mog Dance. The Dancing will destroy this boss. He can cast stop on a character and do some pretty nasty damage. Just watch your health and use a potion if needed, An all moogle team will be stronger than a team with Locke, but then you can't steal the Mythril Knife. Do the right thing, take a guy who steals along for the trip. Pro Tip: Relieve Mog of his spear and shield before engaging the Guard Leader. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= MagiTek Armour x2 ============================= HP: 210...each MP: 250...each LVL: 8 Steal: Hi-Potion, Potion Drop: Hi-Potion Immune To: --- Weak Against: Lighting Absorbs: --- Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death Doom, Sap Vulnerable to: Darkness, Critical, Image, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sleep Slow, Stop Inherent Status: Protect Other Immunity: Control Special Attack: Metal Kick (150% damage) Strategy: Not really a Boss fight so much as a story driven event. The Magitek Armors can hit you for physical damage with Metal kick or blast you with a Magitek laser. Neither attack is much to worry about. I mean, you could never take an action and eventually they would beat you, but that just isn't a sound strategy. Edgar should use his Auto Crossbow. It does nice damage and hits both the armours. Also,the Noise Blaster will confuse the armours, causing them to use Magitek laser against themselves. Locke should attack, or even steal for some healing potions, Hi or normal. Terra should use fire. Not only will this cause a cutscene but will do damage which is what I call the "Do Damage Theory (tm)". The little armours should go down with minimal fuss. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Vargas ================== HP: 11600 MP: 220 LVL: 12 Steal: Mythril Claws, Potion Drop: --- Immune To: --- Weak Against: --- Absorbs: --- Type: Humanoid Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death Doom, Critical, Image, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap Sleep Vulnerable to: Darkness, Slow, Stop Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Libra, Control Special Attack: Doom Fist (unblockable; standard damage, inflicts 'Doom') Strategy: Vargas...much cooler looking than Sabin. Vargas comes equipped with two pet Ipoohs. Just as in the Guard Leader battle you must kill these silly ol' bears before you can attack Vargas. They arent too tough and go down with minimal effort. Auto Crossbow, Fire, Fight. While you beat on the pets Vargas will return the favor by beating on you. No matter what, after he loses a certain amount of HP a cut scene will ensue allowing Sabin to enter the fray. Continue the fight and Vargas will Doom Fist everyone but Sabin away. You are then clearly told what to do. Do as instructed, giving the Raging Fist of Justice to the butt of EVIL! You then win. Pro Tip: Can't follow directions? I can't help with that but I will still try. Raging Fist: - Choose Blitz with your pointer - Press A - Press <- - Press -> - Press <- - Press A =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Ultros ================== HP: 3000 MP: 640 LVL: 13 Steal: --- Drop: --- Immune To: --- Weak Against: Fire, Lightning Absorbs: --- Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death Doom, Critical, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap, Sleep Vulnerable to: Darkness, Image, Slow, Stop Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Libra, Control Special Attack: Ink (standard damage, inflicts 'Darkness') Strategy: One of my favorite characters in any Final Fantasy game beside Garland (Who will knock you all down). Ultros can actually be a bit of trouble for the new player. He attacks with Ink, which does a small amount of damage and causes blind status, a multi target Tentacle attack that hits pretty hard, and a single target tentacle attack which could OHKO a weaker character. Auto-Crossbow, Aura Cannon (or Rising Phoenix if for some insane reason you have it),Fire, and have Crazy Beard Bannon use Pray every turn. Also do yourself a favor and make sure every character is in the back row, this will protect you from the physical damage of tentacle. With Banon healing this fight is almost a guaranteed win. Pro Tip: I have been asked to tell you Seafood soup is NOT on the menu! =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Tunnel Armour ========================= HP: 1300 MP: 900 LVL: 16 Steal: Bioblaster, Air Knife Drop: Elixir Gil: 250 gil Immune To: --- Weak Against: Lightning, Water Absorbs: --- Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify Death, Doom, Critical, Image, Silence, Berserk, Confusion Sap, Sleep, Slow, Stop Vulnerable to: Nothing Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Drill (200% damage) Strategy: Tunnel Armor hits as hard as he plays. He casts Bolt and shoots you with a Drill. Both cause alot of damage. Locke is reccommended to be equipped with the Air Knife you own and the Genji Golve relic, as this will maximize the damage output. Celes should make with the Runic to take care of the magic. Do this every turn. Every. Turn. Locke can waste some time stealing, using potions to heal or even attacking to defeat the armor. It's a pretty basic fight. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Phantom Train ========================= HP: 1900 MP: 350 LVL: 14 Steal: --- Drop: Tent Immune To: --- Weak Against: Fire, Holy, Lighting Absorbs: Poison Type: Undead Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Silence Berserk, Confusion, Sap, Sleep, Slow, Stop Vulnerable to: MagiTek, Death, Doom, Critical, Image Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Control Special Attack: Wheel (200% damage) Strategy: The Phanton Train is pretty tough, the toughest boss so far. He has a physical attack in Wheel, Acid Rain, which can hit your party hard, and Diabolic Whistle, which causes various status ailments to your party. So you know what it is going to throw at you, what shall you do? Sabin should use Aura Cannon, which does pretty damage to the locomotive... OF THE DEAD! (That was a joke, it's not really called that). Cyan needs to use Fang. But he can also use the Bushido that uses Demi, as the Phantom Train isn't immune to Instant Death Attacks. Shadow should throw shurikens at the train. Repeat until the Train stops being alive...er... undead...whatever ...until you win. Use whatever you have to remove status ailments, I would only worry about confuse and poison. If someone other than Cyan is confused use his FIGHT command as Cyans FIGHT hits like a weak and tired kitten. Cheap Tactic: use a Phoenix Down or Elixer. This defeats the train instantly, it's undead. Pro Tip: In Sacramento, Ca. there is a historical train museum. Pretty cool. It's not haunted, and doesn't have ghost trains, but is still pretty neat. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Rhizopas ==================== HP: 775 MP: 39 LVL: 13 Steal: --- Drop: Remedy Immune To: --- Weak Against: Lightning Absorbs: Water Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death, Doom Silence Vulnerable to: Darkness, MagiTek, Critical, Image, Berserk, Confusion, Sap Sleep, Slow, Stop Inherent Status: Float Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Bite (150% damage) Strategy: If it weren't for a music change you wouldn't know this was a boss. Fang and Aura Bolt/ Rising Phoenix for an easy victory. One thing to be aware of is El Nino. It is a powerful water based attack that does respectable damage. It generally won't get a chance to use this attack but I would be remiss if I didn't warn you. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Hell's Rider ======================== HP: 1300 MP: 170 LVL: 14 Steal: Elixir, Mythril Vest Drop: Remedy Immune To: --- Weak Against: Fire, Poison Absorbs: --- Type: Humanoid Status Immunity: Zombie, Invisible, Imp, Confusion Vulnerable to: Darkness, Poison, MagiTek, Petrify, Death, Doom, Critical Image, Silence, Berserk, Sap, Sleep, Slow, Stop Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: None Special Attack: Silver Lance (300% damage) Strategy: Not too tough. Make sure Locke is around to steal a fancy Mythril Vest. Just beat on the fella with Magic, as he has some massive physical defence. Other than attack, the Hell's Rider uses Venom Mist to cause Poison. The rider may use Acid Rain, but you still shouldn't have any trouble. Tactic Submitted By: Master_Gamer: I'd advice the Onion Rider strategy. Wherein you steal its crap and die until you have three Mythril Vests. And Snare is effective against him. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Kefka ================= HP: 3000 MP: 3000 LVL: 18 Steal: Elixir, Hi-Ether Drop: Peace Ring Immune To: --- Weak Against: --- Absorbs: --- Type: Humanoid Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify Death, Doom, Critical, Image, Silence, Berserk, Confusion Sap, Sleep Vulnerable to: Slow, Stop Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Libra, Control Special Attack: Hit (150% damage) Strategy: Kefka, everyone who is anyone knows that Kefka is the best villan in the FF series. Anyway. Kefka will cast Blizzard, Blizzara and try and poison your team. Fire off everything you have. If Celes is in your group then use Runic every turn for a much easier win. I would use Edgar for his tools, Sabin for Aura Cannon, Celes for Runic, and Gau for his Stray Cat rage. You'll do tons of damage quickly and your attacks won't be absorbed by Runic. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Dadaluma ==================== HP: 3270 MP: 1005 LVL: 22 Steal: Thief's Bracer, Jeweled Ring Drops: Thief's Knife, Twist Headband Gil: 1210 gil Immune To: --- Weak Against: Poison Absorbs: --- Type: Humanoid Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, Invisible, Death, Critical, Berserk, Confusion Sap Vulnerable to: Darkness, MagiTek, Imp, Petrify, Doom, Image, Silence Sleep, Slow, Stop Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: None Special Attack: Sweepkick (standard damage, inflicts 'Sap') Strategy: This guy is pretty powerful. He has respectable Damage, will heal himself, he can call for help from Brawlers, and can cast safe on himself. After a few rounds of fight he'll down multiple Hi-Potions and then toss two daggers, almost guaranteeing OHKOs for 2 of your party members. So against this I would reccommend: Edgar for his Drill/Chainsaw Celes for healing and offensive magic Gau for Trillium (which casts Bio) Locke can attack and may steal a nice item from the boss Cyan can use Fang and his other Bushidos Just beat on him as fast as possible, healing as often as you need. Cheap Tactic: Confuse one of the Gobbledygook and they will cast Vanish on one of your party members. Dadaluma will have nothing that he can hit you with but Shockwave, and i've only had him use that once in all the time I have played. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Ultros (part duex) =========================== HP: 2550 MP: 500 LVL: 19 Gil: 2 gil Steal: --- Drop: --- Immune To: --- Weak Against: Fire, Lightning Absorbs: Water Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death Doom, Critical, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap, Sleep Vulnerable to: Darkness, Image, Slow, Stop Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Libra, Control Special Attack: Ink (standard damage, inflicts 'Darkness') Strategy: Apparantly Ultros was leveling up too. Perhaps for his live performance? Ultros is less of a pushover this time. He has Acid Rain, which will cause you damage over time. He also casts Fire and, as is appropriate for the Opera, he can sing...in this case it's Imp Song. (Rawk Fist). Of course expect him to slap you with Tentacle. Odd Note: He seemes to only direct ST attacks against the character on the left side of the screen. This happens in every game I play. Either I am extra special or there is a reason for this or it's just me. You know the drill, green cherry for imp, (or the imp spell if you know it) Heal as appropriate. For your team it's ladies choice, to a point. Locke should attack, or use Ramah...or even Thunder, if you have it from Ramah. The other 2 members can be whomever you want. I like Gau for his rages and Edgar for Drill. Aspiran is what I chose to use with Gau, the Gigavolt does major damage to our purple friend....not quite OVER 9000!! but in the upper hundreds. One thing to be aware of. Each time Ultros moves to a new position he has full HP again. Kill him before he can move for the easiest battle. It's not too hard. Note: Blitz and Bushido cause retaliation with Acid Rain. If you have Sabin and have collected the Burning Knuckle, then just have Sabin attack. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Ifrit & Shiva ========================== Ifrit: ----- HP: 3300 MP: 600 LVL: 21 Steal: --- Drops: --- Immune To: Lightning, Poison, Wind, Holy, Earth. Water Weak Against: Ice Absorbs: Fire Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death Doom, Critical, Image, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap Sleep, Stop Vulnerable to: Darkness, Slow Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Libra, Control Special Attack: Hit (150% damage) Shiva: ----- HP: 3000 MP: 500 LVL: 21 Steal: --- Drops: --- Immune To: Lightning, Poison, Wind, Holy, Earth. Water Weak Against: Fire Absorbs: Ice Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death Doom, Critical, Image, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap Sleep, Stop Vulnerable to: Darkness, Slow Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Libra, Control Special Attack: Hit (150% damage) Strategy: I am sure you recognize these two folks. Ifrit is Fire elemental, both in the spells he uses, and his absorbtion. Reverse for Shiva, since she is Ice. Both are immune to everything, elemental spell wise, but their weakness. Use ice on Ifrit, fire on Shiva. This includes Rising Phoenix, Fira, whatever. Celes can use runic to save you some heartache from the Espers spells. The pair isn't too tough, just do as instructed, healing when needed, and you will win. A small excerpt from Lufia_Maximums Beastiary. This shows the Mechanics of Shiva and Ifrit tagging out (No, I don't know what it means); Ifrit: If Var3 >= 5: Set Var3 == 0 Remove Ifrit, bring in Shiva Shiva: If Var3 >= 5: Set Var3 == 0 Remove Shiva, bring in Ifrit Cheap Tactic: Just constantly and quickly unload only Fire spells, or only Ice spells. Don't worry about who you are attacking. Yes, you will heal one esper, but the ohter will be getting slammed. When one falls they both fall. Pro Tip: The Espers aren't undead, don't use a phoenix down. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Number 024 ====================== HP: 4777 MP: 777 LVL: 24 Steal: Blood Sword or Rune Blade Drops: Flametongue or Ice Brand Immune To: ??? Weak Against: ??? Absorbs: ??? Type: Humanoid Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Petrify, Death Doom, Critical, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap, Slow Stop Vulnerable to: Imp, Image, Sleep Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Control Special Attack: Overflow (inflicts 'Confusion') Strategy: Watch for wall change, it will change his elemental weakness. Beat him to death with drill, Aspiran, fight. If you do use the Fight command be aware that 024 has high Def. Move along. He is slow, his attacks do minimal damage, and he hits like a sleepy puppy. I don't think anyone on my team has ever, EVER been down to even half health against him. I don't even bother to heal. Only the Holy Dragon is easier. Even with all that said the boss CAN use attacks such as the -ra spells and magnitude 8. Cheap Tactic: 024 is not immune to Imp and Sleep, so you can abuse him. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Number 128 ====================== HP: 3276 MP: 810 LVL: 23 Steal: Kazekiri Drops: Tent Immune To: --- Weak Against: --- Absorbs: Ice Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death Doom, Image, Silence, Confusion, Sap, Sleep, Stop Vulnerable to: Darkness, Critical, Berserk, Slow Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Blood Feast (steals HP) Strategy: Number 128, a multi part boss, this first you will fight. This fight is similar to Guard Leader or Vargas in that there are actually 3 creatures to fight, the beast it'self and it's arms. It's fair because there will only be three of you. The difference is that you can attack 128 without destroying his arms. First off, you can steal a fancy Kazekiri from #128. I would reccommend this I am a completionist and it is really rare, but the choice is up to you. Number 128 has multiple atacks, from shrapnel to hit, and some spells. Locke should use thunder. I can't say who you will have on your team at this point but I lean very heavily towards Gau myself. Anguiform, with it's fantastic Aqua Breath. will be your main damage dealer. Anyone else is up to you. Now you have a couple of options here. You can kill the arms and then the boss. This will cause the team less damage overall, but since 128 can regenerate his appendages I never bother. I just kill the body, the arms go with it. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Cranes =============== Left HP: 1800 MP: 447 LVL: 23 Steal: Noise Blaster Drops: --- Immune To: --- Weak Against: Water Absorbs: Lightning Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify Death, Doom, Critical, Image, Silence, Berserk, Confusion Sap, Sleep, Stop Vulnerable to: Slow Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Wrecking Ball (150% damage) Right HP: 2300 MP: 447 LVL: 24 Steal: Hi-Potion, Debilitator Drops: --- Immune To: --- Weak Against: Lightning, Water Absorbs: Fire Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify Death, Doom, Critical, Image, Silence, Berserk, Confusion Sap, Sleep, Stop Vulnerable to: Slow Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Wrecking Ball (200% damage) Just when you thought you were safe you are thrust into yet another fight. This time you only get three people on your team. If you have reflect rings you can reflect some of the Cranes spells. The cranes are powerful foes, each can use Magnitude 8, the Left one will charge up and use Gigavolt and the Right will charge and use Fireaga. They can also use Magitek Barrier to increase their defences. The left generally uses Thunder,-ra and the right will generall hit with fire,-ra if they are not using physical attacks. Because Fireaga is so powerful it is reccommended that you kill the Right crane first. Setzer can use his slots for good damage, and Lock should try and get a Debilitator from the right crane before beginning to cast Ramah and Thunder spells or attacking. It is up to you as to who the third character will be. Gau should use Anguiform, Edgar should drill away, and Sabin should use Aura Canon. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Flame Eater ======================= HP: 8400 MP: 480 LVL: 26 Steal: Flametongue Drops: --- Immune To: Lightning, Poison, Holy, Earth Weak Against: Ice Absorbs: Fire Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify Death, Doom, Critical, Image, Silence, Berserk, Confusion Sap, Sleep, Stop Vulnerable to: Slow Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Hit (150% damage) Strategy: This creature is of the Fire elment and will use Fire, Fira, Fireball, and can summon Gernades/Baloons. Terra: Use Blizzard/Blizzara Locke: Use Blizzard/Blizzara Strago: Use Aqua Rake Toss in Shiva if you want. Don't use Fire spells. You win. Flame Eater really doesn't do too much damage and you'll kill it before it can kill you. Unless you're underleveled, like in a LLG, then just heal or something. Pro Tip: Steal from it if you get a chance,the Flame Tounge weapon is pretty fancy. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Ultros (Prequel to the FINAL COUNTDOWN!) =========================== HP: 22000 MP: 750 LVL: 25 Steal: White Cape Drops: --- Immune To: --- Weak Against: Fire, Lightning Absorbs: Water Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death Doom, Critical, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap, Sleep Vulnerable to: Darkness, Image, Slow, Stop Inherent Status: Float Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Libra, Control Special Attack: Ink (standard damage, inflicts 'Darkness') Strategy: Ultros is actually less powerful this time around. Just fight him until the scripted event. Use Fire or thunder with Celes and Locke, and if you too the time, with Strago too. You just need to survive until Relm shows up. Once the battle starts again just sketch with Relm over and over until it is successful. She will scketch Ultros, smack him with the drawings tentacle, and you win. You could always steal the white cape that Ultros carries. It's a nice relic. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Ultros (FINAL COUNTDOWN) featuring Typhon ============================================== Ultros: ------ HP: 17000 MP: 8000 LVL: 26 Steal: Dried Meat Drops: --- Immune To: --- Weak Against: Fire, Poison Absorbs: Water Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death Doom, Critical, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap, Sleep Stop Vulnerable to: Darkness, Image, Slow Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Libra, Control Special Attack: Octopus Ink (standard damage, inflicts 'Darkness') Typhon: ------ HP: 10000 MP: 40000 LVL: 26 Steal: Dagger Drops: --- Immune To: --- Weak Against: Ice, Water Absorbs: Fire Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death Doom, Critical, Confusion, Sap Vulnerable to: Darkness, Image, Silence, Berserk, Sleep, Slow, Stop Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Libra, Control Strategy: For some reason this is one of my favorite boss battles. Ultros is really weak, even weaker than the last fight. You can poison him if you so choose, but it's not worth it unless you're in a LLG. Just cast Fira on him constantly and after enough Damage he will call in Typhon (FUNGAH!). Typhon is weak to Ice. I always burn down Ultros then give the cold shoulder to Typhon. You don't need to do that, it's just what I do. After you depelete all of Typhons HP he will snort your team out of the battle. It's okay, you didn't lose. Calm down. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Air Force ===================== HP: 8000 MP: 750 LVL: 25 Steal: Elixir Drops: Princess Ring Immune To: --- Weak Against: Lightning, Water Absorbs: --- Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify Death, Doom, Critical, Image, Silence, Berserk, Confusion Sap, Sleep, Slow, Stop Vulnerable to: Nothing Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Hit (150% damage) Strategy: Making up for the ease of Ultros and Typhon you are forced into battle with Air Force. This mechanical maniac is multi part. Not only must you battle him, but also his Missile Bay and his Laser Gun. Missile Bay will TekMissile you, which causes wound and Laser Gun uses MagiTek laser. Air Force is fond of Atomic Ray. All three hit hard and all three move fast. If you kill both the Missile Bay and the Laser Gun then Air Force will release a Bit. Bit is always in Runic status, making spells susceptible to Runic useless. The answer? Hit the thing until it dies, which it should, quickly, as it only has a few HP. Leave it long enough and Air Force starts counting down from 5. Once it hits 0 the Air Force blasts you with Wave Cannon. It is in your best interest to kill the machine before it does this. Thunder is the way to go, Water too. Aqua Rake will do tons of damage, so Gau will be helpful with Anguiform. Once you kill off the Bay and Laser just unload like mad. Make sure you take out the Bit. Heal as needed. While you can bring anyone, I really found that those who can effectivly cast Thunder,-ra and Water spells are really the most effective. If, for some reason you don't want that then bring heavy hitters, like Edgar with his Drill or Sabin for his Blitzes. Pro Tip: Notice how far you're falling? I realized that you will be falling through the sky for as long as it takes to beat Air Force. I find that odd. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Ultima Weapon ============================ HP: 24000 MP: 5000 LVL: 37 Steal: Ribbon, Elixir Drops: Elixir Immune To: --- Weak Against: --- Absorbs: --- Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death, Doom Critical, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sleep, Stop Vulnerable to: Darkness, MagiTek, Image, Sap, Slow Inherent Status: Float Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Full Power (200% damage) Strategy: Fancy Music, impressive looks, daunting speech. Yes, this is a perfect choice to be an end boss...but he isn't. At least he get's to be the last real boss of the World of Balance. Flare, Flare Star, Meteor, Mind Blast, Quake...sound frightening? It should be,Every boss before this has been a cake walk (except Air Force). Even worse, as Ultima Weapon loses his health he starts using stronger and stronger attacks. I reccommend Float to avoid quake, or Gaia Gear to get some free healing. Be aware that no everyone can use Gaia Gear, so get Cyan and Edgar Angels Wings. Cast your strongest spells, have Shadow throw every turn. Make sure you keep your health up or you will die. Should seem obvious, but generally most bosses are easy and you don't need to watch your health as much as you do here. Depending on your team you will do different things. If you have Gau and the Litwor Chicken rage you can do no nice damage since Ultima has float, but you get some great healing from Quake (assuming you thought ahead and equipped Gaia gear). Steal with Locke, you may get a Ribbon. Edgar should Drill, Sabin should Aura Cannon, Celes should Runic to absorb flare. Strago should use Stone, or if his HP are low, Revenge Blast. Mog should dance his little heart out. I like Water Rondo. Cyan...should hit Ultima? Relm and Terra are actually less useful here if Celes is on the team, as the ex-general will eat their magic. If you feel that Celes would be better used for Offence then you can equip Reflect Rings, or prepare to heal after the big hits that Ultima can land. It's pretty much a slug fest. Cheap Tactic: Well, the best and easiest way to kill Ulitma is to teach EVERYONE Rasp/Osmose. The quickest way to do this is obtain Zona Seek from the Auction House. Drain all of the weapons mana away and it will die. Not only that, but you will be saving yourself from the nastier spells it uses when it's HP drops. Cheap Tactic: Just do nothing while the weapon casts all of it's magic. It will kill it'self or drop to so few MP that it won't be able to cast anymore. This takes a loooong time. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Nerapa ================== HP: 2800 MP: 280 LVL: 26 Steal: --- Drops: --- Immune To: Poison, Wind, Earth, Water Weak Against: Ice, Lightning, Holy Absorbs: Fire Type: Humanoid Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify Critical, Image, Silence, Sap, Sleep, Slow Vulnerable to: Death, Doom, Berserk, Confusion, Stop Inherent Status: Float, Reflect Other Immunity: Control Special Attack: Hit (150% damage) Strategy: I don't count Nerapa as a Boss except that he appears in the boss section of the Beastiary and isn't optional. Nerapa likes to share. He gives, without asking anything in return, Doom status to Everyone on your team, so not only are you on a timer to reach the airship, but on a second timer to die. Don't cast magic as Nerapa has Reflect. Just beat on him fast. Throwing shurikens will be the very fastest way. Don't worry, you pretty much can't lose unless you take your sweet time to take action. Of course, you should still have your reflect rings on, so if Nerapa uses a death spell it may just kill it'self. Pro Tip: After beating Nerapa Wait for Shadow. WAIT FOR SHADOW! He will automatically appear when you have 5 seconds on your countdown to the world ending timer. Then you will leave the Floating Continent. Wait for Shadow. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= The End of the World of Balance Bosses- Enjoy the World of Ruin! =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= 4.2 - World of Ruin Bosses - Listed Alphabetically =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Angler Whelk Behemoth King Chadarnook Curlax, Laragorn, Moebius DeathGaze Demon Dullahan Fiend Gigantaur Goddess Guardian Hidon Humbaba Inferno Leviathan Magic Master Master Tonberry Samurai Soul Tentacle x4 Ultima Buster Valigarmanda Wrexsoul and Soul Saver x2 Yeti Note: World of Ruin bosses and monsters seem to be more susceptible to status ailments than the World of Balance monsters. To get more bang for your buck, especiallin in games with lower level characters, you will want to abuse those weaknesses. In all honesty the WoR equipment breaks the game. You will be so powerful that only one or two of the more powerful enemies will give you trouble. If you over level you're going to just kinda breeze through everything. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Angler Whelk ================================= Location - Darill's Tomb HP: 9845 MP: 1600 LVL: 31 Steal: --- Drops: Dragon Claws Immune To: Poison Weak Against: Fire Absorbs: Ice, Lightning, Water Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Critical, Image Berserk, Confusion, Sap Vulnerable to: Darkness, Petrify, Death, Doom, Silence, Sleep, Slow Stop Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Petriblast (inflicts 'Petrify') Strategy: Monster-In-A-Box! Simple- Don't attack the shell. Wedge told you this at Ymir. Okay? okay! Anyway, Angler Whelk will hit you and cast spells like slow on you, Just beat it to death. It's more of a mini boss/ strong monster. If I haven't Mentioned it, don't attack the shell, it blasts you with Magnitude 8. Of course, Float takes care of that. Pro Tip: If you can get Banish to kill both the Shell and Head in one shot you get 2 Dragons Claws instead of 1. Fancy pants! =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Behemoth King ========================= Live HP: 19000 MP: 1600 LVL: 43 Steal: Murasame Drops: Behemoth Suit Immune To: --- Weak Against: Fire, Poison Absorbs: Ice Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Petrify, Death, Critical Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap, Sleep Vulnerable to: Darkness, Imp, Doom, Image, Slow, Stop Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Control Special Attack: Devil Claw (unblockable; standard damage, removes 'Reflect') Undead HP: 19000 MP: 9999 LVL: 49 Steal: Drops: Behemoth Suit Immune To: --- Weak Against: Holy Absorbs:Poison Type: Undead Status Immunity: Poison, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Image, Silence, Berserk Confusion, Sap, Sleep, Slow, Stop Vulnerable to: Darkness, Zombie, MagiTek, Death, Doom, Critical Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Control Special Attack: Sleeping Gas (inflicts 'Sleep') Strategy: Behemoth King will start in a live form. He will cast ice spells and can hit with Meteor. Actually, he's not too tough and I felt that regular Behemoths on the Floating Continent were harder. The king can be imped, but will cast it on himself, removing the effect. Cast Imp and then Silence to take care of that. Unload on him with whatever attacks you feel are best, except ice, as he absorbs it. Once you kill King off you will instantly get a back attack with an undead version. This one is weak against holy and absorbs poison. You can use two tactics. Unload on this one with Fire and Aura Bolt, or use cure,-ra,-aga spells to damage this undead beast. The undead one uses Death, meteor and will try and put your team to sleep. Cheap Tactic: When the undead Behemoth King shows up just use a Phoenix Down. It re-dies and you win, no sweat. Note: If you somehow banish the live king you won't get to fight the second, undead one. Not only do you only get 1 Behemoth suit instead of 2, but the undead king will never appear on the Veldt. You won't get the rage. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Chadarnook ====================== HP: 56000 MP: 9400 LVL: 37 Steal: --- Drops: --- Immune To: --- Weak Against: Fire Absorbs: Holy, Water Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death, Doom Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap, Sleep, Stop Vulnerable to: Darkness, MagiTek, Critical, Image, Slow Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Hit (inflicts 'Doom') Strategy: I hate this fight so much. Not because it is hard but because Chaddarnook shifts to goddess and back so randomly. Expect a long and irritating fight. Chaddarnook is hiding inside a painting of the goddess. Both use strong attacks, which can cause seizure status, and will also use Thundera. Both are weak against fire, so use that. Unload fire attacks and the demon goes down...if it were only that easy. Randomly Chadarnook will shift out, shifting the goddess in. It is pointless to fight her because even if you kill her, on the next shift she ressurrects with full health. This is really irritating because at times the shift from demon ot goddess will happen right before you cast, causing you to waste MP tagging Goddess. Worse is that she will retaliate with Poltergeist. This causes seizure status. Also she can charm a character, making them fight for her or cause your team to fall asleep, There is NOTHING worse than getting put to sleep and then having to watch her change to chaddarnook. Ribbons are always nice. Just take it slow. Select casts just as goddess is changing back. Heal when she appears. The biggest challenge is patience. Take it slow and you will win. Pro Tip: Do NOT bring Gau or Umaro, or a Dragoon. They may just provoke the Goddess with a misplaced attack. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Curlax, Laragorn, Moebius ===================================== HP: 15000 (Curlax), 10000 (Laragorn), Moebius (12500) MP: 2000 (all of them) LVL: 47 (all of them) Steal: --- Drops: --- Immune To: --- Curlax ------ Weak Against: Ice, Water Absorbs: Fire Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death Doom, Critical, Image, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap Slow, Stop Laragorn -------- Weak Against: Fire Absorbs: Ice, Wind Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Critical Berserk, Sap, Sleep, Stop Moebius ------- Weak Against: --- Absorbs: Lightning Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death Doom, Critical, Silence, Confusion, Sap, Sleep, Slow Strategy: Curlax is your main target here. He will bring his brothers back to life if they are slain. Once he is out of the way you are set. This has the added bonus of nuliffying their Delta Attack. Laragorn will use magic, such as Blizzara and Blizzaga. He will also run away for a short time if either of his brothers die. Moe will cast Thundara and Thundaga. He will cast reflect on himself to and can cast Protect, haste and shell. Just unload on the living brothers weaknesses, healing as needed. Well, for Moebius just don't cast thunder spells. Physical attacks also works well I prefer slapstick, but you may prefer weapons. Heal as needed as they will cast damaging spells, but at this point it is nothing to be worried about... ...woop woop woop, nyuk nyuk nyuk. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Deathgaze ============================ HP: 55555 MP: 38000 LVL: 68 Steal: --- Drops: Bahamut magicite Immune To: --- Weak Against: Fire, Holy Absorbs: Ice, Poison Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death Doom, Critical, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap, Sleep Slow, Stop Vulnerable to: MagiTek, Image Inherent Status: Float, Shell, Protect Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Venom Claw (inflicts 'Poison') Strategy: Note: Deathgaze appears randomly on the World Map as you fly around with the Air Ship. Each time you battle him he may flee on the 3rd turn. Luckily the monster cannot regenerate his HP between each of your fights. Deathgaze will always get the opening shot with lvl 5 Death. This will kill anyone who has a level that is a multiple of 5. He will then cast Blizzaga, attack, or use Aero. Other than preparing for lvl 5 Death you will have little to worry about. A safety bit and protection from ice will net you an eventual win. Pro Tip: Deathgaze will drop the Bahamut Esper when you finally rid the skys of his deathy mean deathness...DEATH! Tactic Submitted By: Master_Gamer "Deathgaze has auto-Shell, so advise breaking Holy Rods on it for defense-ignoring Holy spells." =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Demon ================= HP: 58000 MP: 18900 LVL: 67 Steal: Red Jacket Drops: Radiant Lance Immune To: --- Weak Against: Poison Absorbs: Fire, Wind Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death, Doom Critical, Image, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap, Sleep Vulnerable to: Darkness, MagiTek, Slow, Stop Inherent Status: Image, Float, Haste, Protect Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Tyrfing (200% damage) Strategy: Demon is one of the three Goddess statues that Kefka...umm...liberated from the Floating Continent. In my opinion it is the strongest of the three, You will want Death Protection and Fire protection for this battle. Demon has access to Blaster, a low hit chance auto kill attack and Fireaga. He, well I guess she, can also use Flarestar, Aero, Southern Cross, and can hit physically with Metal Cutter or his...her weapon Tyrfing. Use Bio against her and make sure to steal the Red Jacket. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Dullahan ==================== Location - Darril's Tomb HP: 23450 MP: 1721 LVL: 37 Steal: Genji Glove, X-Potion Drops: --- Immune To: --- Weak Against: Fire Absorbs: Ice Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death, Doom Critical, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sleep, Stop Vulnerable to: Darkness, MagiTek, Image, Sap, Slow Inherent Status: Float, Haste Other Immunity: Control Special Attack: Morning Star (200% damage) Strategy: Dullahan is a fairly tough fight, one of the few that actually give me trouble. This boss starts out the fight by casting lvl? Holy. This attack will hit characters with levels divisible by the las digit of your gil. Make sure you don't have a 1 as the last digit of your gil or it's a guaranteed hit. Dullahan will also cast other spells such as Northern Cross, blizzara, and absolute zero Prepare accordingly. Since you will generally have just Celes, Edgar, Sabin, and Setzer on your team you're pretty limited. Celes should be on Runic Duties or healing, Edgar should be drilling, Sabin should be Rising Phoenexing and Setzer can use his slots or attacks. I made Setzer a caster so he had Fira. Just make sure you keep your health up as Dullahan hits like a truck. Pro Tip: You can drain Dullahans MP to kill him. He has a very small amount. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Fiend ==================== HP: 63000 MP: 4800 LVL: 73 Steal: Safety Bit Drops: Mutsunokami Immune To: --- Weak Against: Holy Absorbs: Ice, Poison Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death Doom, Critical, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap, Sleep Stop Vulnerable to: Darkness, Image, Slow Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Fiendish Rage (unblockable; 400% damage) Strategy: Fiend will use ice magic against you. Blizzaga, Northern Cross and Absolute Zero. Prepare against this and you will have an easy time. Also, Fiend can use Fiendish Rage for a powerful Physical attack. In battle you may get a message stating that :Fiend's aura is trembling violently!". Now Fiend Gains Image, Reflect, and Haste status. If you can absorb Ice you will have little trouble. Holy Spear and Holy are very effective against this goddess. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Gigantuar ==================== HP: 30000 MP: 4500 LVL: 91 Steal: --- Drops: --- Immune To: Fire Weak Against: Water Absorbs: Water Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death Doom, Critical, Image, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap Sleep, Slow, Stop Vulnerable to: MagiTek Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Control Special Attack: Knockdown (500% damage) Strategy: Kill 10 cactaurs in the Miranda Desert and go to the west side of said desert. Now you get to encounter the esper Gigantaur. This beast will use 1000 Needles over and over twice on it's 1st and 2nd turns, 4 times on it's 3rd turn. The patter then just repeats. Gigantaur will also use Knockdown, a very powerful physical that can OHKO a character who is not at very high Defence. Just use your strongest non fire, not water attacks on it and heal constantly. remember, you can't block or absorb 1000 needles. When slain the esper will launch 10,000 needles, where he will attack with 1000 needles 10 times in a row. This is more than enough to kill a moderatly leveled party and can even kill someone at lvl 99 with 9999 HP. I avoided this by having a character with the Dragoon Boots jump every round. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Goddess ==================== HP: 44000 MP: 19000 LVL: 68 Steal: Minerva Bustier Drops: Excalibur Immune To: --- Weak Against: --- Absorbs: Lightning, Holy Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify Death, Doom, Critical, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap Sleep, Slow, Stop Vulnerable to: Image Inherent Status: Haste, Shell Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Hit (150% damage) Strategy The lovely Goddess, one of the smarter Bosses in the game. She isn't powerful inthe attacks department, but makes up for it by forcing your team to go to sleep, or even fight for her with Entice. He can use Flash Rain which will cause Seizure Status, and blast you with Thundaga. She also uses Quasar, but this doesn't happen often. The Goddess will also use Cloudy Heaven. This will cause a doom timer on all of your characters. Once they die the character will become a Zombie! Other than Entice you won't have too tough a time with her. If you can absorb lightning you pretty much win. Heal as needed to counter the seizure effect. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Guardian ==================== HP: 60000 MP: 5200 LVL: 67 Steal: Ribbon, Force Armour Drops: --- Immune To: --- Weak Against: Lightning, Water Absorbs: --- Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify Death, Doom, Critical, Image, Silence, Berserk, Confusion Sap, Sleep, Stop Vulnerable to: Slow Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Control Special Attack: Ink (150% damage) Strategy: When you first encounter the Guardian, and the next time, it will tell you that "You will go no farther", and it means it.

You really want Strago to learn this as it ignores defence. Of course it ignores your defence too, so heal after this. Hidon can also cause your dead to come back as zombies with Crypt Dust, so keep a supply of holywater on hand. Hidon will also toss around Bio, Venommist, and poison. Hidon will aslo ressurrect all 4 Erebus if they are dead. Holy Spears, Firea/aga, Aura Bolt etc will do wonders here. Try and protect against poison and watch for the Erebus's. Kill them all to make this battle less hectic. The Erebus will generally just try to poison you. Note: Hidon will not use Grand Delta unless all 4 Erebus are dead. Pro Tip: Kill all the Erebus with Quake (ala Litwor Chicken or Cluck rage). One of the Erebus's is immune to earth damage. Now Hidon won't kill and ressurrect a teammate. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Humbaba =================== HP: 26000 MP: 10000 LVL: 31 Steal: --- Drops: --- Immune To: --- Weak Against: Poison Absorbs: Lightning Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death, Doom Critical, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap, Sleep, Slow, Stop Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Control Special Attack: Solar Plexus (300% damage) Strategy: This boss starts out scripted and keeps going that way. First you have Terra. You can do nothing to harm Humbaba. Nada, zilch. All attacks do 0 damage. Cheat and give yoursel Ultima and Quick, you can morph and still do 0 damage. Terra will eventually be overcome and your team will jump in. Hit Humbaba alot, cast Bio, if you have Gau use Trilium. Quickly he will be overcome and will run away. Terra will say she can't fight. If you decide to walk all the way here with just Sabin and Celes you can have Sabin attack with Poison Claws and Celes use Runic or cast Bio. Make sure you heal as you only have two character fighting for you. Leave the town and come back. Go talk to Dwayne and then go down into the little house in the south west of town. Humbaba will return. After a small fight with your team you will be blown away. Now it's time for revenge. Terra will Morph, with infinite morph time, and you can unload on the ancient evil. As long as Terra knows Bio you will destroy Humbaba. For attacks Humbaba uses a physical called Solar Plexus, he can also use the lore 1000 needles and uses thundara and thundaga. Pro Tip: You can't get Terra on your team until you get the Airship. You can do the first part of this quest, getting Fenrir Magicite, but you'll still have to come back after getting the airship. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Inferno =================== HP: 30800 MP: 9700 LVL: 67 Steal: Ice Shield Drops: --- Immune To: --- Weak Against: Lightning Absorbs: Fire Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death Doom, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap, Sleep, Stop Vulnerable to: Darkness, Critical, Image, Slow Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Sobat (300% damage) Strategy: This beast is pretty strong, he is a three part boss with a torso and 2 arms. Any time you hit him you may be countered by Sobat, a powerful physical attack. If all three parts are alive then Inferno has access to Delta Attack. If only the body is alive then Inferno will cast Magitek Barrier. For attacks he can cast Thundaga, Gigavolt, Atomic Ray and Shockwave. Lightning protection will make those attacks a breeze. Rahu, one of Infernos arms will attack or use Raiper for solid physical damage. Ketu, the other arm, can attack or use Slash, another solid physical attack. After a time Inferno will reactivate both of his arms. You have a few ways to victory, one being you can kill his arms and keep them dead, lessening the damage you will recieve, or do as I did and just unload thundaga into the main body. If you have a solid healer this is the quickest way. Pro Tip: I actually like this pallete over #128. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Leviathan ====================== HP: 32000 MP: 7000 LVL: 91 Steal: --- Drops: --- Immune To: --- Weak Against: --- Absorbs: Water Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify Death, Doom, Critical, Image, Silence, Berserk, Confusion Sap, Sleep, Slow, Stop Vulnerable to: Nothing Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Entangle (inflicts 'Slow') Strategy: Leviathan will always open with Tsunami,and will follow with Aquabreath or El Nino the next turns. He can also strike with a decent physical attack, i've had him hit twice in a row and then use Aquabreath. Leviathan can also use Entangle, which causes slow. Since Leviathan has no weaknesses just strike with whatever you can. Since Leviathan is so quick you can always put Marvel shoes to good use. Just heal as needed (every round) and strike hard. For equipment, the Imp Equipment absorbs Water, so you will just have to use other gear for Defence. Yes, the Reed Coat can be worn by a non imp. Pro Tip: Locate the little fish by taking the boat from South Figaro to Nikeah after you get the Airship. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Magic Master ======================== HP: 50000 MP: 50000 LVL: 68 Steal: Crystal Orb, Elixir Drops: Megalixir Immune To: ??? Weak Against: ??? Absorbs: ??? Type: Humanoid Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify Death, Doom, Critical, Image, Silence, Confusion, Sap Sleep, Slow, Stop Vulnerable to: Berserk Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Hit (150% damage) Strategy: First off, you should still have reflect rings from when you were making your way up the tower. Bounce offensive spells off your team to damage the Magic Master. Magic Master, at the top of a tower that only allows magical spells...guess what kind of attacks he uses. If you guessed physical then you are wrong. The master uses numerous spells to pelt your team. Watch for Blizzard, fire and thunder and their stronger versions. You must also be prepared for Death, Silence, and Bio. He will also change his weaknesses if you use elemental spells on him. Libra will keep you in the know as to what to use on him. Of course non elemental spells will always work. Since you are limited to magic you'll be using alot of MP. Lucky for you the Magic Master has a ton of MP to go around, so use Osmose. Just do like you did on the way up and bounce spells off of yourself to hurt him, and off of him to heal you. At the end of the fight it gets tricky. Once he dies he will cast Ultima with his last breath. You die, game over. You have a few ways around this. You can keep track of your damage by casting Libra every few rounds to keep track of his HP and then cast the esper that causes the whole team to jump. Your other option is Re-Raise, which will bring you back to life after you are slain by Ultima. Pro Tip: You can drain the MP of the Magic Master to kill it. Just be aware that this will take a loooooong time. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Master Tonberry ==================================== Where you at?! - Cave To The Ancient Castle HP: 22000 MP: 1200 LVL: 73 Steal: Elixir, Megalixir Drops: Gladius Immune To: --- Weak Against: --- Absorbs: Water Status Immunity: Zombie, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death, Doom Critical, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap, Stop Vulnerable to: Darkness, Poison, Image, Sleep, Slow Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Control Special Attack: Knife (800% damage) Strategy: Monster-In-A-Box! The Master of Tonberries is a very tough customer. He will counterattack with a lore called Traveller, a non -elemental and unblockable spell that does damage based on the number of steps you have taken. He can also hit you with his knife attack, this does alot of physical damage. Tonberry can change his weaknesses with Barrier Change.Finally this jerk can toss about spells like the agas, bio, quake, holy, and tornado. This is one of the stronger of the "boss" monsters, so prepare for him. Equip as much defence as you can and have 1-2 characters attack with their strongest attacks. I had Setzer with the Fixed Dice. The other two should concentrate on healing. If you win you get the Gladius, a weapon i've never used. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Samurai Soul ================================= Where you at?! - Ancient Castle HP: 37620 MP: 7400 LVL: 61 Steal: Murakumo, Murasame Drops: Master's Scroll Immune To: --- Weak Against: Poison Absorbs: --- Type: Humanoid Status Immunity: Zombie, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death, Doom Critical, Silence, Berserk, Sleep, Slow, Stop Vulnerable to: Darkness, Poison, Image, Confusion, Sap Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Control Special Attack: Assassin Blade (inflicts 'Death') Strategy: Monster-In-A-Box! This boss is one of the easier of the Monsters in a Box, but should still be taken somewhat seriously. He can toss water, lightning, and fire scrolls. he can also use gale cut, or shockwave. If the battle runslong then Samurai Soul will flash and will Gain Image, Reflect, and Haste status. Abuse his weakness to poison with Bio and he should fall quickly, just make sure you keep healing up or he can kill you. Cheap Tactic: Muddle the Samurai and watch him kill himself. Pro Tip: The Masters Scroll works very well with Setzers Fixed-Dice. Once I equipped him with it I have never taken it off. Even at low to moderate levels setzer can do 39996 with 4 lucky shots, but look more in the 5000-11000 range. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Tentacle x4 ======================== -Bottom Right HP: 7000 MP: 800 LVL: 31 Steal: --- Drops: --- Immune To: --- Weak To: Ice, Water Absorbs: Fire Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Death Doom, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sleep Vulnerable to: Petrify, Critical, Image, Sap, Slow, Stop Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Stun (inflicts 'Slow') -Top Right HP: 5000 MP: 600 LVL: 33 Steal: --- Drops: --- Immune To: --- Weak To: --- Absorbs: Lightning, Water Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Death Doom, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sleep Vulnerable to: Petrify, Critical, Image, Sap, Slow, Stop Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Stun (inflicts 'Slow') -Bottom Left HP: 6000 MP: 700 LVL: 32 Steal: --- Drops: --- Immune To: --- Weak To: Fire Absorbs: Ice, Water Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Death Doom, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sleep Vulnerable to: Petrify, Critical, Image, Sap, Slow, Stop Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Stun (inflicts 'Slow') -Top Left HP: 4000 MP: 500 LVL: 34 Steal: --- Drops: --- Immune To: --- Weak To: --- Absorbs: Earth, Water Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Death Doom, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sleep Vulnerable to: Petrify, Critical, Image, Sap, Slow, Stop Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Stun (inflicts 'Slow') Strategy: Each tentacle has an elemental absorbtion. You can cast Libra to figure out who is weak to what and cast accordingly. Non elemental spells help too, if you have them Tentacles can hit you, or sap you. Once this happens a tentacle will grab a character, effectivly taking that character out of battle until it feels like letting go. I call this a friendly hug. The grasp can only be used when a character is slowed, so hermes shoes will be of benefit, as you cannot be slowed. A bonus is that the tentacle will then begin to absorb health from the hugged character. Eventually the tencacle gets bored with the love and will drop whomever it holds. They will also lose their grip if they die. Edgar should use Drill, Sabin can use Aura Cannon, Celes can use whatever weakness is applicable. Cheap Tactic: Choose an element and just blast all 4 with it. Fire is the best as sabin has Fire Dance. Yes, one will be healed, but the rest will go down almost at the same time. This will make this battle end much more quickly. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Ultima Buster ========================= Location: - Kefka's Tower HP: 55000 MP: 19000 LVL: 67 Steal: Crystal Orb, Blood Sword Drops: --- Immune To: --- Weak Against: --- Absorbs: Poison, Wind, Holy, Earth, Water Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Death Doom, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sleep Vulnerable to: Petrify, Critical, Image, Sap, Slow, Stop Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Stun (inflicts 'Slow') Strategy: "I am the one known as Ultima... Forged an eternity ago and left here... Forgotten in the mists of time... Long have I pondered what I should do... Long, long have I pondered...But now it seems I have an answer..." A visit tothe Jail in Kefkas tower will allow you to hear the above from the big brother of Ultima Weapon. This beast will flash three times during this battle, and on the third he will unleash Ultima. Otherwise He is similar in his attacks to Ultima Weapon. Watch for Flare, Flarestar, Quake, the -aga spells, Tsunami, and Southern/ Norhter cross. There is really not many ways to prepare defences. Float will nullify Quake, Reflect can defeat Flare and the -aga's, and ice immunity will handle the Southern/Northern Cross. Don't use Poison, Wind, Holy, Earth, or Water attacks. Heal as needed, use Arise or Re-Raise as needed. Cheap Tactic: Ultima Buster has the same weakness as Ultima Weapon. namely a dependence on MP to survive. You can drain the monsters MP to defeat him. This method has the added bonus of lessening his ability to toss spells around. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Valigarmanda ========================= HP: 30000 MP: 50000 LVL: 62 Steal: --- Drops: --- Immune To: Lightning, Poison, Wind, Holy, Earth, Water Weak Against: Fire Absorbs: Ice Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify Death, Doom, Critical, Image, Silence, Berserk, Confusion Sap, Sleep, Slow, Stop Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Libra, Control Special Attack: Hit (150% damage) Strategy: This snake/bird/roman will use many ice based attacks such as Blizzard,-ra, -aga and freezing dust, this will freeze a character. Use fire to thaw them. Prepare to ward against ice and you will be fine. Use fire spells only. Valigarmanda, or as I like to call it, Valley Girl Amanda has 250 defence, you will be lookin at 0-1 damage with physical attacks. A pretty easy fight. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Wrexsoul w/Soul Saver x2 ============================================= HP: 23066 MP: 5066 LVL: 53 Steal: Memento Ring Drops: Guard Bracelet Immune To: --- Weak Against: Ice Absorbs: Fire, Holy Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death Doom, Critical, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap, Sleep Slow, Stop Vulnerable to: Darkness, Image Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Control Special Attack: Doom Strike (inflicts 'Doom') Soul Saver ================================ HP: 3066 MP: 566 LVL: 41 Steal: --- Drops: --- Immune To: --- Weak Against: Ice Absorbs: Fire, Holy Type: Humanoid Status Immunity: Poison, Invisible, Imp, Silence, Sap, Sleep, Stop Vulnerable to: Darkness, Zombie, MagiTek, Petrify, Death, Doom, Critical Image, Berserk, Confusion, Slow Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Control Special Attack: Magic Drain (steals MP) Strategy: First move in the battle will be Wrexsoul possessing a companion. That character will then take small amounts of damage over time. This leaves you to battle the Soul Savers. These little buggers cast strong spells and will ressurrect one another, so you need to kill them at once. Easier said than done. Once they are dead and gone kill your possessed teammate. This will force Wrexsoul out into the open. Now unload ice spells as fast as you can, taking a moment to ressurrect the sacrifical lamb of a dead character. Wrexsoul will cast spells at you and eventually repossess a character. Without the Soul Savers to bother with you can just start with the team killing again. Keep doing this and you will win, welcome to the Alexander Esper! Cheap Tactic: Banish the Soul Savers to remove them completly from the battle. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Yeti ================ HP: 17200 MP: 6990 LVL: 33 Steal: --- Drops: --- Gil: 10 Immune To: --- Weak Against: Fire, Poison Absorbs: Ice Status Immunity: Zombie, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death, Doom Critical, Silence, Confusion, Sap, Stop Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Control Special Attack: Tackle (300% damage) Strategy: Umaro in his cooler form. He can hit physically for decent damage, and if the fight goes long enough he will pop a green cherry, enhancing his physical prowress. He can also use a MT Snowstorm adn tackle against you. Tackle is a physical attack with enough damage to threaten a low armored character. Just cast fire or use strong physical attacks. He is as pathetic a boss as he is a character. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= The End of World of Ruin Bosses- Enjoy the Final Battle! =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= 4.3 - Final Battle For the Final Battle you will choose your battle order. Battle order will set a line-up of heroes to fight the final bosses. The First four on the list go first. If a character falls then the 5th character in the line up will replace the fallen character. If another character falls the 6th character will step in. And so on. Strong hitter should be your first priority, meaning your strongest and most well equipped characters. Followed by lesser and lesser characters. My order would look something like: Relm - Terra - Mog - Setzer - Celes - Locke - Shadow - Edgar - Gau - Gogo - Strago. If you get all the secret characters...well all two of them, you will have to leave 2 people on the Airship. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Visage ========================== Visage ------ HP: 30000 MP: 10000 LVL: 74 Steal: Elixir Drops: --- Immune To: Earth Weak Against: Poison Absorbs: --- Type: Humanoid Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death Critical, Image, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap, Sleep Slow, Stop Vulnerable to: Darkness, Doom Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Libra, Sketch, Control Special Attack: Sapping Strike (inflicts 'Sap') Short Arm: 27000HP Long Arm: 33000HP Strategy: Ready for the first tier of the final battle? Okay. Visage isnt too bad, he has his fists of fury and his face of...facing? The face can cast Sapping Strike, Dread Gaze, and Reverse Polarity. The fists can use shockwave, physical attacks, and other magics. I think I saw a Quake Spell. When Visage dies he casts Quake, so prepare for that. Concentrate on the fists first as they are the real damage dealers. Drill, magics, whatever, it's an open buffet of damage dealing for you! Once you kill them just work the visage over, just make sure to have equipment to absorb Earth, or cast float on everyone. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Tiger, Machine, Magic, & Power ========================== Tiger ========= HP: 30000 MP: 10000 LvL: 70 Machine ========= HP: 24000 MP: 10000 LvL: 73 Magic ========= HP: 41000 MP: 10000 LvL: 72 Power ========= HP: 28000 MP: 10000 LvL: 73 Steal: Elixir Drops: --- Strategy: Tiger can use Southern Cross and Flarestar Machine can use Missile, Delta Attack, Gravity Bomb, Absolute Zero and Diffractive Laser. Magic uses the -aga spells, poison, drain, bio, flare, and other spells. Power will use 10 hit combo on you, which hits 10 times. It's physical only so you can evade or block all 10 seperate hits. Otherwise it just attacks. Quake is your friend. It will do heavy damage to every part except Tiger, who will absorb it. Quake will mess up the other three and kill it fast, leaving you having to only deal with Tiger. Cheap Tactic: Bad Breath, the Lore, will cripple this boss. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Lady & Rest ========================== Lady ---- HP: 9999 MP: 10000 LVL: 58 Steal: Ragnarok Drops: --- Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify Death, Doom, Critical, Image, Silence, Berserk, Confusion Sap, Sleep, Slow, Stop, Haste, Shell, Safe, Reflect Vulnerable to: Nothing Inherent Status: Float, Regen Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Libra, Sketch, Control Special Attack: Repose (inflicts 'Sleep') Rest ---- HP: 40000 MP: 10000 LVL: 71 Steal: Ultima Weapon Drops: --- Type: Humanoid Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify Death, Doom, Critical, Image, Silence, Berserk, Confusion Sap, Sleep, Slow, Stop, Haste, Shell, Safe Vulnerable to: Nothing Inherent Status: Float Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Libra, Sketch, Control Special Attack: Repose (inflicts 'Death') Strategy: I would reccommend Locke or Gogo on this battle. Why? Because you can steal the Ragnarok from Lady and Ultima Weapon from Rest. Lady is the "White Mage" She can cast White Wind, healing 9999hp per cast and will ressurrect Rest every time you kill her. Lady can absorb every element so stick with non elemental damage, such as non elemental weapons and magic, eve *shudder* Ultima. Rest is the other half. He is more based on offence. He will cast such spells as Meteor and Meltdown which do hurt. Even worse, he will constantly be healed by Lady and will be ressurrected if he dies. Finally, if rest dies for good then he will take one of the team with him, using Repose. Make sure you have Re-Raise on everyone if you actually want to keep your team intact. So you know what you are up against, now what? I'll sound like Gau; Kill Lady Kill Rest Uwooooo! Keep your defences up, heal when necessary, kill good. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= KEFKA ======================================== Kefka ---- HP: 62000 MP: 38000 LVL: 71 Steal: Megalixer Drops: --- Immune To: Poison Weak Against: None Absorbs: None Type: Humanoid Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify Death, Doom, Critical, Image, Silence, Berserk, Confusion Sap, Sleep, Slow, Stop, Haste, Shell, Safe, Reflect Vulnerable to: Nothing Inherent Status: Float Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Libra, Control Special Attack: Havoc Wing (400% damage) Strategy: The Final Battle, Kefka and you, Man/God thing vs. Your team. I am not going to tell you what to do to beat the mad clown, i'll just give you some pointers and some things to watch out for. Hyperdrive: Heavy Damage to the whole team. Fallen One: Drops the HP of the whole team to 1 Havok Wing: Strong Physical Damage He will also use the -aga spells, Trine, Vengance, and Ultima. Make sure you bring resists and MDef equipment. Kefka tosses around many many spells. Jump will be helpful here, as you can dodge his attacks. Just hammer away at him however you would like. Beat him and you beat the game. Enjoy. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= The End of Final Battle- Enjoy the End Credits! =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= 4.4 Legendary Dragons =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Storm Dragon ==================================== Where you at?!: Mt Zozo HP: 24000 MP: 1250 LVL: 74 Steal: --- Drops: Force Armour Immune To: --- Weak Against: Lightning Absorbs: Wind Status Immunity: Zombie, Poison, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death Doom, Critical, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sleep, Slow Stop Vulnerable to: Darkness, Image, Sap Inherent Status: Float Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Wing Sabre (300% damage) Strategy: The Storm Dragon is a nasty little bugger. He can use aero, which hits for massive damage, he can just hit you, and can use his special, the unblockable, multi target, Rage. Rage will hurt you badly and is his worst attack. What do you do? If you already have Mog and some Dragoon Boots you can have the Moogle and Edgar just use Jump constantly. This will keep them out of harms way while still doing damage. If you have Gau I would use Destroyer rage. This will cast Re-Raise quite often, an especially helpful thing in a LLG. Everyone else should use thunder, as thats the beasts weakness. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Ice Dragon ================================== Where you at?!: Snowfield above Narshe HP: 24400 MP: 9000 LVL: 74 Steal: --- Drops: Force Shield Immune To: --- Weak Against: Fire Absorbs: Ice Status Immunity: Zombie, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death, Critical Sleep, Stop Vulnerable to: Darkness, Poison, Doom, Image, Silence, Berserk, Confusion Sap, Slow Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Control Special Attack: Hit (200% damage) Strategy: The Ice Dragon uses, as I am sure at least some of you can tell, Ice spells. Blizzard,-a,-aga are his main attacks.He can also use Northern Cross...or Southern, I can't remember. Either way it will freeze a character or two. If a character does become frozen you can thaw them instantly with a fire spell...just use fire, not Fira or Fireaga. Use fire like crazy and you will win. Fur Muffler, Minerva Bustier, Fire Shields, these are your friends. If you feel like physical attacks a flame sword will work wonders. Cheap Tactic: Bad Breath it and Forget it. The dragon can be muted, blinded, poisoned, etc. Once you muzzle the thing it's a cakewalk. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Blue Dragon =================================== Where you at?!: Ancient Castle HP: 26900 MP: 3800 LVL: 65 Steal: --- Drops: Zantetsuken Immune To: --- Weak Against: Lightning Absorbs: Water tatus Immunity: Zombie, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death, Doom Critical, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap, Sleep, Stop Vulnerable to: Darkness, Poison, Image, Slow Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Control Special Attack: Hit (steals MP) Strategy: Blue dragon is a water dragon. It will cast Flash Rain, Aqua Rake, and the like. Watch out for Rippler if you have Shadow as it will permanently steal Interceptor. Use Thunder spells against him. Imp armor can absorb water spells, your're set. Gau will once again have use in Aspiran rage. It absorbs water and uses Gigavolt. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Holy Dragon =================================== Where you at?!: The Kefka Cult Tower HP: 18500 MP: 12000 LVL: 71 Steal: Holy Lance, X-Potion Drops: --- Immune To: --- Weak Against: --- Absorbs: Holy Status Immunity: Poison, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death, Doom, Critical Image, Berserk, Confusion, Sap, Sleep Vulnerable to: Darkness, Zombie, MagiTek, Silence, Slow, Stop Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Control Special Attack: Hit (150% damage) Strategy: Easiest boss fight in any game. Seriously. Cast mute, you win. Wear reflect rings, you win (it'll take longer). Oh, and the dragon can cast Dispel...OH NOES! Holy Dragon absorbs holy and only attacks with Holy. Mute it and it's useless. Reflect it's holy spell and it heals it'self, but doesn't hurt you. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Red Dragon ================================== Where you at?!: Phoenix (not Arizona) Cave HP: 30000 MP: 1780 LVL: 67 Steal: --- Drops: Murakumo Immune To: --- Weak Against: Ice, Water Absorbs: Fire Status Immunity: Zombie, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death, Doom Critical, Silence, Berserk, Sleep, Stop Vulnerable to: Darkness, Poison, Image, Confusion, Sap, Slow Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Control Special Attack: Eraser (unblockable; standard damage, removes 'Reflect') Strategy: Fire is a friend of this Dragon. It uses Fire,-a,-aga and will cast lvl4 Flare at times.All of it's attacks can be ignored with an ice shield and levels that are not multiples of 4. Use Blizzard magic and water magic. Tridents and Jump, Gaus Chimera Rage. etc, Generally if you are protected from fire you won't lose. Ice Shields, even Reflect will serve well. Pro Tip: Lockes back, go raid Narshe! =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Earth Dragon ==================================== Where you at?!: Opera House HP: 28500 MP: 16500 LVL: 53 Steal: X-Potion Drops: Magus Rod Immune To: --- Weak Against: Wind, Water Absorbs: --- Status Immunity: Zombie, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death, Doom, Critical Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap, Stop Vulnerable to: Darkness, Poison, MagiTek, Image, Sleep, Slow Inherent Status: Float Other Immunity: Control Special Attack: Honed Tusk (500% damage) Strategy: Earth Dragon will use earth attacks (shocking). expect quake, and Magnitude 8. He can also hit like a truck with Honed Tusk. It is reccommended that you cast float in this battle. This will let you avoid his stronger attacks. Just be prepared to cast it again as the dragon isn't stupid and will cast a spell called 50g. This will dispel your float. For attacks you can use Tridents with Jump, as Tridents are Water Elemental, which is this dragons weakness. Cast Leviathan, use Gaus Chimera rage. Heal as needed. Cheap Strategy: Use Angel Wings on everyone. Earth Dragon will waste turns with 50g's to try and dispell your relic induced float. Cheap Strategy: Still have Gaia gear? Equip that and all those quakes that the Earth Dragon casts will heal you. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Gold Dragon =================================== Where you at?!: Kefka's Tower HP: 32400 MP: 4000 LVL: 62 Steal: --- Drops: Crystal Orb Immune To: --- Weak Against: Water Absorbs: Lightning Status Immunity: Zombie, MagiTek, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death, Doom Critical, Silence, Confusion, Sap, Sleep, Slow, Stop Vulnerable to: Darkness, Poison, Image, Berserk Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Control Special Attack: Hit (400% damage) Strategy: Lightning is pretty much all you have to expect. Thunder Shields, Force Shields and Armor, Minerva Bustier, etc, will make this a cake walk. For attacks you can use Tridents with Jump, as Tridents are Water Elemental, which is this dragons weakness. Cast Leviathan, use Gaus Chimera rage. This is a very basic and easy battle. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Skull Dragon ==================================== Where you at?!: Kefka's Tower HP: 32800 MP: 1999 LVL: 62 Steal: --- Drops: Muscle Belt Immune To: --- Weak Against: Fire, Holy Absorbs: Poison Status Immunity: Darkness, Zombie, Poison, Invisible, Imp, Petrify, Death Critical, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, Sap, Sleep, Slow Stop Vulnerable to: MagiTek, Doom, Image Inherent Status: None Other Immunity: Meteor Strike, Control Special Attack: Hit (unblockable; effect unknown) Strategy: The Skull Dragon is not undead, contrary to it's appearance. Skull uses Doom, which can be ignored with a Safty Bit, Momento Ring, Lich Ring or re-raise. Also, any of Gau's undead rages will get around this. Skull can also use Will o' the wisp and his most powerful move "Disaster" which is an insta-kill if it hits. Lucky us it rarely does. For offence use fire and pearl. Edgar and Mog can leap with a holy lance, Illumina does tons of damage, or you can use Fire 3, Holy, or Merton if properly prepared. Gau, with the Lich Ring, can use his Holy Dragon rage and cast Holy for free often without having to worry about doom. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= The End of Legendary Dragons- Enjoy Crusader. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= 4.5 - Why aren't they bosses? =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Sometimes you come across a monster that is so powerful it's like a boss fight. These monsters reign supreme in whatever area they choose to live. I am going to list them in no particular order. These guys are random and never need to be battled. No stats or strategies, just some names to look out for. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= Intangir- This big fellow abosrbs every element and is immune to most status effects. He has a boatload of HP and MP, and has nice defence. In addition if you kill him he launches a salvo of meteors against his slayer. Cactaur- This little guy only has 3hp but makes up for it with near perfect defence and magic defence, attach to that a perfect evasion and you aren't hitting him, but he can hit you! 1000 needles does a guaranteed unblockable 1000 damage to a character. Unless you are creative he will poke you to death. Brachiosaur- Rare and drops the celestriad relic. Starts with Disaster, which has a low chance of hitting but is an auto kill. He can also hit multiple targets with a powerful physical attack called Tail. In addition he can cast the mighty Ultima spell. He carries a ton of HP and defence. I consider this monster one of the biggest challenges in the game. Note: Want me to add more? E-mail me and I will. My contact info is below. =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= ------------------ 5.0 - Frequently Asked Questions ------------------ Q: How early can I get all the sweet Treasure from Kefkas Tower? A: Get Mog, get his Molulu charm and go raid Kefkas tower. Celes with a Minerva Bustier is a wonderful thing. Same goes for Setzer with his fixed Dice. Q: Where's Mog? A: Same place he was in the World of Balance, in the Narshe Mines. As soon as you get the Airship just fly to Narshe and battle your way to the mines. Narshe is overrun with monsters this time. You can take the back entrance through the mines, or go the same way Terra did, through the old mans house. Q: Where is Molulus Charm? A: Once you re-obtain Mog press A on the spot he was standing, against the wall. Q: How do I rig my slots? A: Rigging Slots: Normally the Jokes Death attack from getting 777 on Setzers slot command is rigged against you, meaning you have little chance of ever getting it naturally. You can, though, rig your chances. Note: Joke Death kills anything, even those things immune to death. Yes, This means undead, bosses, even final Kefka. -Echo Screen: Use an echo screen on Setzer, this unlocks the 777 for your use. Now it's just up to you to actually get it. -Casting: Have a character cast any spell, and as the name of the spell appears on the screen and the character begins the casting animation you get your first 7 on the Slots. THis 7 must be gotten before the name of the spell dissapears from the screen. Now the other two 7's are unlocked for you. Same as above, the actual getting it is up to you. Q: How do I use the Psyco Cyan glitch? A: Psyco Cyan: Kill Cyan, Bring him back to life, have him use his lvl 2 Bushido and then imp him. THe next time an action is taken Cyan will lose his friggin mind and start to attack, constantly, non stop. You don't get to take any more turns, nor does the monster. Cyan will slowly beat whatever it is he is attacking to death. Combine this with his swords with the built in Wind Slash, the Tempest, and you will be breaking wind and skulls. Q: What's an easy way to kill MP dependant bosses? A: Stand and don't gun: If you are under leveled and you are fighting a boss with MP fuled attacks that you can't run from then just do nothing. Perhaps you can heal if needed. See, generally bosses will start using nastier and nastier spells as their HP drops (I'm looking at you Ultima Weapon). If you don't harm them then they will waste MP on their weaker spells. Now they are meek squirrels to your smiting might. Q: How do I make gold for the Excalipoor and get enough AP to learn spells? A: Need cash, AP, or experience in the World of Ruin? The desert just below Maranda houses Cactaurs, which give up 10000 gold and a whopping 10AP per kill. The buggers have high Def, MDef, and evade so use weapons that ignore defence and a snipers eye relic. or better yet use Setzer and his Fixed Dice. It's an auto kill. Speaking of Cactaurs, stay away from the left side of the desert or you will end up battling the daddy cactaur, Gigantaur. He is an esper, and he is powerful. Also, look for the Slag Worms. They give a respectable 5AP a nice amount of exp, and 10000 gold per kill. The best part? They are susceptable to death spells.] Above the Veldt is a small dinosaur shaped forest. In here are the mighty Tyranosaur. These beasts fling Meteor and do respectable physical damage. The dinos give excellent exp. In addition there are rare Brachiosaur. These monsters cast Ultima and will randomly sneeze your teammates away. They can also do a multi target hit with Tail. If you beat one you get excellent exp. You also have a chance of getting a celestriad. Q: Why did you stop mentioning Gau? A: I don't know, I just did. Q: Do you8 like me? Yes No Maybe A: Yes =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= ------------------- 6.0 - Contacting Me ------------------- ravensoulblackblade at yahoo dot com Please put something regarding Final Fantasy in the subject.
