| Goddess
65,535 HP |
|
Goddess starts the fight by using Holy against a single person which causes high, likely fatal damage. Most of her attacks will either be Charm or Slap (random Stun, Curse or Mute). If your party has protection against both then all you need to do is worry about her use of Holy and double attack. If not, make sure to use Remedies and Heal to keep your team operational. She can also use Whisper to inflict Piggy on the whole party at once. As the battle goes on, Goddess will start using Cure 3 which can be used to your advantage if you cast Wall on her (similar to Asura). This will cause her to heal your team while you continue to pile on the damage: Kain Jumps, Edge throws high-level weapons, Rydia summons Bahamut, Rosa can Cure or use Ultima and Cecil acts as a healing tank. Remember that Piggy disables magic but not other commands like Throw, so if the status doesn't interfere with what you're trying to do, don't bother wasting turns healing it. When she is almost defeated she will say "Impressive..." and blast you with Holy while following it up healing with Vitalize on the same turn. Try to get her down quickly so she can't heal out of it.
With protection from Charm, this can be one of the easier fights because Holy doesn't hit more than one character at a time and Charm is ineffective so a setup that protects against both can make this fight much more manageable. |
Anything that can offset Charm (Headbands and/or Adamant Armor). Additional equipment that protects against status effects like Pig can also help. Holy resistance along with a Cursed Ring to absorb it neuters her most powerful attack. | 60-65+ | Lunar Core

If you have any Globe199s make sure to bring them in your inventory to this fight. What better time for 14,999 guaranteed damage than the toughest boss fight in the game?
Neo Bahamut's AI has been revised as of V27. Old strategies utilizing Wall to avoid counterattacks no longer work. If you use Wall or a Light/Lunar Veil on anyone in your party, Neo Bahamut will immediately TeraFlare you to death, so do not under any circumstances do this. At the start of the fight Neo Bahamut does not take any damage. It will seem like your attacks are damaging him, but despite the damage numbers appearing his HP will not go down at all, so don't waste turns trying to attack him. Instead, start out piling as many buffs to your Magic defense as you can: Salved Elf Cloaks, MT Shell, Mighty Guard etc. while sticking a Slow on him with a Silk Web. Palom should be in the party and use Boast as many times as he can as it will boost his and Rydia's damage and also boosts everyone's Magic defense (it will not boost Rosa's damage, however). The Silk Web will prompt a GigaFlare counterattack but it will be a weak one. Neo Bahamut will shudder, attack physically a few times, then use GigaFlare ("I... will not hold back") and TeraFlare ("Brace yourself!"), with the former causing decent damage and the latter causing extremely high damage (bad RNG can end the battle quickly). Ideally you'll survive GigaFlare and TeraFlare with only 1 or 2 people dropping. If you're really unlucky only a Hiding Edward will survive. Afterwards, get everyone back on their feet as quick as possible with a salved Life, while one of the survivors (or the first to get a turn if only Edward was left) quickly uses a Megalixir or All-Potion. Now he will actually take damage when you hit him. Start casting powerful spells with short cast times (Flare from Palom, Bio or Nuke from Rydia). Rosa can cast Holy as well, but it doesn't deal as much damage because it isn't boosted by Boast and it doesn't cast as fast. Stick to Mighty Guard from Cecil for now. Edward should keep applying Salved Elf Cloaks to further increase your Magic defense. Neo Bahamut will respond by saying "Interesting..." and attack physically a few times. Hopefully Palom and Rydia can both get two spells in before Neo Bahamut goes into recovery mode and uses Black Hole and Fast. When Cecil calls out that the party needs to regroup, take a second to make sure your HP is completely topped off with All-Potions/Megalixir/Cure5 and try to put a few more Magic defense buffs on. He will say "..." and GigaFlare you a few times, then return to TeraFlare and restart the pattern.* When he gets below half his HP remaining, he will switch his counters from GigaFlare to TeraFlare, then TeraFlare you again on his next turn, and then heal himself for 6,553 HP with Vitalize. He can do this multiple times in a row depending on how many times you hit him without killing him. To get through this final phase, have Rydia and Palom queue up their fast spells again, alternating with full-party heals. If he starts using TeraFlare to counter, it means he's in his desperation phase, so the next character to act after them should use a Globe199 on the boss. That Globe199 has to kill him because he'll counter it with TeraFlare and you're going to die if he uses it since you're already weakened from the counter, but between the Wisdom boosts from Boast and decent damage rolls (Flare needs to deal more than 10,000 damage to be safe) the two spells should have been enough to get him under 15,000 HP and the Globe199 will seal the win for you.
Mid-high 90s levels are recommended because you need to be able to hit as hard as you can with every attack. However, with the right strategy, he can be beat at a much lower level as showcased by player Smbai: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyNntnYw9yc (video is V25, strategies are out of date) |

|
Any weapon/spell that has an associated elemental damage type will deal no damage. Use long range weapons if you can.
Like the fight with the Core in the Giant of Babil and AI Mk.1, the Attackers will use Beam to damage all party members, while the Defenders will use Recover. Destroying all the orbs will cause AI to attack with Globe199 which deals 14,999 damage to all characters. AI uses Wall so there are limited spells that you can damage it with. It will also counter Kain's Jump with Globe199 so he should only use it on the companion orbs. The biggest change to this fight versus the previous 2 is that AI can use Globe199 (usually as a counter to Jump), even if one only one orb is dead and can revive the Attacker/Defender much, much faster (sometimes after 1 turn). Edge should Throw high-level weapons for maximum damage, Cecil and Kain can attack to deal 1-2,000 per blow. Ideally, you'll want one on "standby" so if the Defender is restored, it can be killed before it starts to heal AI. Rosa and Rydia should be healing with Cure 4 and Asura accordingly. If Edward has the Apollo Harp, his Sing can slow down the Attacker which helps slow the damage from Beam. After you've done 5-6 rounds of attacking, it is possible to have Rydia summon Bahamut and Rosa use Ultima which will kill both the Attacker/Defender but also destroy AI before he gets off his Globe199/Recover motion. Note: There are parts in the fight where all monster sprites will turn a pixelated yellow or red. This is based on the spells they use on that turn, and has to do with the color palettes being loaded by the game for those spells. Because the monster sprites are transparent, they get affected by the loading of this data. It does not manifest on any change to their stats or pattern, it is only cosmetic. As of V22 the AI has 3 each of the Attacker and Defender, and it can still resurrect them at the same time when it reaches its final phase, even if you've just destroyed one. Good idea to queue up multiple powerful spells so that they'll go off when the AI has been pushed into this HP range. Even if the spells aren't targeted to the companion orbs, if the AI is destroyed by them the remaining orbs will be easy to mop up. The orb's attacks have also been renamed but are functionally the same; Ion Beam = Maser, Overclock = Fast, ShortCircuit = Stop, Firewall = Big Guard and DELETE = Globe199. Like the Crystals, you can fight the AI as much as you want so if this fight gives you trouble, go back when you're fully equipped for a much easier victory and a nice boost to your ego. |

| Fire Dragon
115,070 - 131,069 HP |
|
The Fire Dragon has only two attacks but is absurdly fast and hits like a truck. It starts the fight with Dragon Breath which may knock up to 4,000 HP off the entire party. It follows with a physical that will deal inconsistent damage between 150-1,200, and then cast Dragon Breath again, and repeats for the rest of the fight. Try to bring as many All-Potions as you can scrounge up or trade for. The sheer amount of damage the Fire Dragon causes is likely more than Rosa and Cecil can heal even on a combined Cure 4/Cure 3, so Rydia will have to play defensive and summon Asura. Despite its name the dragon isn't weak to Ice either so trying to have her cast Ice 3 won't do more than a few thousand damage.
Try to have a lot of powerful throwing ammunition for Edge and keep him alive at all costs as he will be your primary damage dealer while everyone else tries to stay alive. Kain can contribute with Jump, but basic physicals won't do much damage, even from Cecil. To slow the boss down and stay competitive with it, bring some Silk Webs which can be farmed from Arachnes via Steal (Rosa can't afford to waste a turn casting Slow, she needs to heal everyone every turn). Have the men spend the first round using the Webs on the Fire Dragon while the girls heal with Asura/Cure 4. If Rydia's turn comes up and everyone is at full HP, it may be best to wait for Dragon Breath so you can use Asura afterwards, and if you get Reinforce have Rosa immediately follow with Cure 4. If you can't get to the girls' turns in time have Kain or Cecil use an All-Potion. Revivals will need Life2 so if Rosa has to take a turn off use an All-Potion if necessary. If Rosa or Rydia runs low on MP have Cecil or Kain give them a Dry Ether or Elixir while Edge continues to Throw Ninja stars or duplicated weapons for 6-8,000 damage. Every time you hit the dragon it will counterattack; for the first part of the fight these will be physical attacks, then about halfway through the fight it will use Vitalize once to get several thousand HP back. When it drops under 16,000 HP (you will know because it will "shudder" like Zeromus does) it will silently heal its HP back to full, then start countering with Burst against single characters; anyone except a highly leveled Cecil will probably not survive it. When it is almost defeated, it will use Dragon Breath as a counterattack. This means you could potentially eat two Dragon Breaths in a row; carefully time your attacks so you've had a chance to heal back up before hitting it. Some luck is going to factor into this fight if you get bad rolls with Asura or the dragon focuses its counters on Edge or Rydia. Cecil's Big Guard will help, if he has time to cast it. Basically, treat this as a semi-turtling fight where Edge handles all the damage dealing and everyone else focuses on survival. Do not try to bum rush the Fire Dragon or it will punish you, especially once its HP gets low. Don't underestimate Edward's usefulness here. His ability to Salve high-powered healing items like X-Potions as well as stacking Elf Cloaks to reduce damage will go a long way towards keeping you alive, but you'll have to train him up first. If you can get around a dozen combined Salved Elf Cloaks and Big Guards off, Dragon Breath will be manageable, but you have to survive that long. |
Lots of Ninja stars or high-powered weapons for Throwing and the best defensive gear you can get. Party-healing items are a must. Silk Webs to slow the boss down are also crucial. | 75-80+ | Volcano

| Melusine
65,535 HP |
|
Melusine has been relocated in V32 from the Deep Forest to the Damcyan tower. At the start of the fight she will use Whirlwind, Thunder, Erupt and Blizzard on your party in succession but it will deal no damage. After this she will start changing her barrier every other turn she takes. Each time she changes her barrier she will cast Fire 4, Lit 4, Ice 4 or Storm. Whichever element she casts, you must cast back at her to damage her; any other element will heal her (this is the same way Magus from Chrono Trigger functions so if you've fought Magus you've got the idea). The problem is, she is fast enough that if you start casting a level 3 spell right when she changes her barrier you won't get it off in time before she changes it again, even if you've Slowed her with a Silk Web (which you should still do). Storm will get off in time, as will Fire/Ice/Lit 4, but they don't hit as hard. Only level 3 or 4 elemental spells will do any damage; levels 1 and 2 will only deal 1 HP of damage to her. Also, sometimes she gets healed even if you cast the same element she did; the barrier change takes effect before she actually casts the spell she's going to use, so you may have to savescum. This is particularly noticeable when trying to cast Ninjitsu magic on her with Edge.
On turns when Melusine is not changing her barrier, she will attack physically (which can inflict Charm), cast full-party Hex on you, or cast Charm on one character. Charm protection is going to make your life a lot easier, as will buffing your defenses, but even if you do buff Storm will still deal substantial damage to you, so be ready to cast full party heals if you need to. Her physical attacks are wildly inconsistent; they will scratch back-row characters while absolutely clobbering front-row characters, especially if Curse has been inflicted, so don't neglect buffing your physical defense too. Rydia and Palom should both be in the party so they can bring their elemental spells to bear. If you have only one of them in the party it will take a long time but you can win; if you have neither you are not going to win. Everyone else should focus on healing, buffing your defenses with Elf Cloaks/Shell/Protect/Mighty Guard, or just skip their turns until they're needed to do something. If you bring FireBombs, Iceblasts, Lit-Bolts and Wind Slashes you can damage her faster and give the others something useful to do. Just keep in mind that only the highest-power spells and items will deal any more than 1 damage to her. Don't think you're going to get around the barrier by using physical and non-elemental attacks. If you try, Melusine will counter-Wall herself, Black Hole your buffs away, and then murder your party on her next turn with Eclipse. As long as you fight her on her terms, she will not counterattack you and you will eventually win. |
Charm protection equipment at minimum, Curse protection if you have it. Cursed Rings + elemental resistance to absorb spells is nice but not mandatory if you buff your defenses. | 65+ | Damcyan

| Crystal Dragon
65,535 HP |
|
Crystal Dragon (CD) has had its AI reworked as of V27 and you can no longer use Wall while fighting it. If you use Wall or a Veil item to put Wall status on anyone, CD will immediately remove it with Black Hole, then start using Eclipse to kill your party in short order. Make sure not to apply Wall to anyone.
The boss starts by slowing your whole team down (Slow) and then White against the whole team (much stronger than Goddess' version). If you start the fight with a physical attack, CD will counter with Crush against all party members that deals heavy damage. Instead, start with a Black/White/Ninja spell (ideally Edge uses Atomic Bomb or Rydia uses Nuke). Magic attacks will cause him to say "Not Bad" which means he now takes damage from physical attacks. If you cast another spell against him, the spell will fail. When you use a physical attack, ensure you use "Fight" and not something else (e.g. Jump, Focus) or CD will use Crush or Eclipse (the latter doing 14,999 to a single party member). When you hit him with a physical attack, CD will respond with "..." which means he's once again weak against magic. Any additional physical attack will miss. Continue to alternate between physical and magical attacks. During this time, CD will use Crystalize (1/2 of your characters' max HP, like a double Tsunami) then Gravity (1/6 of a character's max HP). With end-game weapons, anyone can attack during the physical stage, and while anyone can use magic, it's best left to Edge/Rydia (Rosa has higher charge times and should be healing and Kain's Storm causes little damage). Rydia can also heal with Asura while Cecil tanks and uses Cure 3/All-Potions. CD will also use Slow but even after multiple uses this doesn't seem to affect the battle much. When the fight is near the end, CD will start countering for 14,999 damage to a single character which will heal him for the same amount. If he recovers enough HP, he'll go back into the aforementioned script (Physical/Magic). Use Decoys to prevent him from hitting the characters but be careful, as CD will use Black Hole to completely negate the Image status. Ideally, wait until he uses Black Hole, use 5 Decoys in a row, then start to pile on the damage. After he fails to hit you, he'll start with saying, "Not Bad" and then after more damage, "Not too bad at all". Each time he speaks, he's going to use Crystalize so pile on as much damage as you can, as fast as you can. This stage can be more easily won if you have someone (Cecil) use a Megalixir* so everyone else can do as much damage as possible. If you're able to survive a few rounds of this, you'll win. Bear in mind when he goes into this final phase, whatever immunity he last had is the immunity he keeps until he manages to heal himself back into his regular pattern or you successfully kill him. Edward is massively helpful here since he can stick Image status on everyone at once via a Salved Decoy or E-Mantle, freeing everyone else to attack and not get into a loop where everyone Decoys up only to be Black Hole'd back to where you started minus several thousand HP from Crystalize.

| Calofisteri
47,300 HP |
|
As with most of the other new optional bosses, Calofisteri is much faster than you. After setting up a Wall, the boss will start spamming full-party Virus spells nonstop on you for around 400-500 HP damage; it will also use a full-party Drain to siphon off HP from your characters, and will also hit you with Hex to cause full-party Curse status AND Poison Gas to poison everyone. It also spams Vampire, which doesn't hurt as bad as Virus but does start HP sap. The combination of Wall, the damage cut from Curse and constantly stealing your party's HP makes it a chore to bring the boss's HP down, and when you do manage to bring it down it will switch to single-target Virus spells which can easily one-shot a character with less than 2000 HP. The final phase of the fight ends the ST Virus spam but introduces ST Drain and Vampire spam in its place. If you can take a hit of 800 HP or more you shouldn't get one-shot now. Throughout all phases of the fight, Calofisteri can toss in physical attacks as well. Dead characters will not have Poison status when revived, but Curse does persist through death and revival; you can only get rid of it with an Anti-Hex or Remedy (or winning). Because Hex and Poison Gas are counters, you're going to be best off playing defensive at first and stacking magic defense buffs with MT Shell from Rosa plus Cecil's Fortify. That should reduce Vampire and Drain to a negligible amount of damage and possibly make Virus survivable. Wait to start attacking until you've sufficiently buffed your party's magic defense.
It's not a bad idea to cast Wall on someone and bounce the strongest spells you have off him/her. Full-party healing spells will be reflected to the boss but restore very little HP so it's not a big irritation. However, you'll have to rely on items to heal the character with the Wall. Try to have Kain Jump as much as possible; it deals the most damage and helps him avoid getting hit, so it's one less person to heal. If Edge is in your party, he'll probably need to Throw something to do some decent damage. You may have to go semi-turtle to survive the Virus onslaught; in this phase designate one person to deal damage (Rydia with reflected spells if Wall is up, Kain with Jump if it isn't) while everyone spams Life potions to heal Calofisteri's most recent victim. You probably won't be at high enough level to survive the Virus shots even at max HP, so don't bother trying to restore HP; just keep resurrecting whomever falls so the boss can't kill you faster than you can resurrect. Once you get past the Virus stage you can start to focus on getting everyone's HP back up. Keep dealing damage, however, so the boss doesn't get a chance go to back to Virus spam. If you can, try to get a few reflected Slows on the boss at the start of the fight to make it easier to deal with. If you are under level 40 you are probably going to need to use some All-Potions, Dry Ethers and possibly Elixirs to make it through this battle as it can drag on a very long time. If you wait until after the second visit to the Underground this fight gets much easier, as Rydia can use Leviathan (the only summon that will deal decent damage at that point) or level 4 elemental spells to get past Wall with no fuss and Cecil and Rosa can both stack up Shell to mitigate Virus damage. |
Make sure Rydia has at least one level 3 elemental spell to bounce off as any summons other than Leviathan and Bahamut do barely any damage. Level 4 elemental spells will also work. High-powered offensive items like Stardust, FireBombs, Lit-Bolts and Iceblasts can be handy. Bring a good stock of Life potions. | 40-45+ | Island Peak
20x Artemis Arrows / Seraphic Shield |
| Tunnel Armor
44,444 HP |
|
Tunnel Armor only uses physical-type attacks, and counters your physicals with physicals of its own. However, that's a big problem, because its physicals are random one hit kills in addition to their high damage. If you see the message "Dispatched!" come up when it attacks you, the character it attacked is about to eat dirt no matter how much HP they had. The other thing you have to watch out for is Drill Pins, which can't be blocked or avoided and hits for over 1,000 HP damage. The final attack in its arsenal is an attack that looks like Yang's Kick and hits the whole party; it does not have the instant kill chance that the normal attacks do, and its damage can be reduced or nullfied by stacking Protect. Its pattern is two physical attacks with ID chance, Drill Pins, full-party attack, repeat. The idea to defeat it is to avoid attacking physically so it won't counter you, stack up as many buffs to your physical defense as you can to mitigate the damage and hoping that the RNG doesn't hand you a lot of cheap instant deaths.
The boss's previous weakness to lightning has been reversed; now it will absorb lightning and be healed by it! This includes random spell procs from physical attacks with weapons like the Thunder Sword and Thor Hammer too, so avoid using them. Cecil should be casting MT Protect the entire fight unless he has Big Guard, in which case he should use that instead. Rosa is better served to heal, but if everyone has good HP she should also use Protect and/or Blink to dodge the physicals entirely. Edge should either be Throwing (skills don't trigger a counterattack) or casting Image on himself for protection. Kain should Jump so as to not trigger a counter. Rydia should use Nuke if she has it; if not, use her best summon. This is a great fight to use Decoys for quick Image status, but keep in mind they will not avoid Drill Pins. You can steal a Glass Helmet from Tunnel Armor, if Edge can spare a turn to do it. If you can get your physical defense maxed out through Protect, the killer physicals will miss, leaving Drill Pins and the multi-attack as the only concerns. |
Lightning-elemental weapons should no longer be used as Tunnel Armor can absorb it. If you have anything that can nullify instant death status (the tombstone icon), equip it. | 45-50+ | Beach Cave North of Baron
Locke's Bandana |
| Storm Dragon
65,535 - 109,225 HP |
|
The Storm Dragon has undergone a substantial reworking since V29. A new location, new sprite, new drops, and far more powerful attacks have now raised it into super boss status. Very little from its previous incarnation still applies. While it has a lightning weakness now, its defense is so high that any physicals from anything other than lightning weapons (Thunder Sword/Arrows/Claw, Thor/Judgment Hammers) will not even scratch it. Even with lightning weapons, don't expect big damage numbers except from crits or Yang's Focus attack.
Among the Storm Dragon's attacks, it has Storm, Tornado and Whirlwind in common from its previous incarnation. Storm is absorbable with Cursed Rings and Wind-resistant equipment, but Whirlwind and Tornado cannot be absorbed. Whirlwind is based on the dragon's remaining HP, so with its higher HP pool it can deal upwards of 3,000 HP damage to the whole party at the start of the fight. The boss's physicals no longer inflict poison and blindness, but they are immensely strong, in the neighborhood of 3-4,000 damage. When it uses Tornado, it is usually combined with Petrify in the same turn, similar to Valvalis. It also now has the ability to silently full-heal itself like Zeromus and Omega when it drops below 1/3 HP, so you may have to deal as much as 109,225 HP to actually defeat it, depending on how low you got it before it restored itself. At the start of the fight use a Salved Decoy or E-Mantle to remove the boss's physicals from the equation, then Silk Web it to slow it down. Try to start attacking as soon as you can rather than worrying about buffing, because buffs won't protect you from Whirlwind and the more damage you do to the boss, the less damage you will take from it. Quick-casting spells like Nuke, Flare, Bio and Holy are all viable though you may want to have any White Magic users hang back to heal from Whirlwind and Tornado. If you commit Rosa or Porom to attacking, have the non-mages distribute or Salve All-Potions or X-Potions depending on how many people need healing. Paladin Cecil can auto-Cover people who get hit by Tornado, but you still need to heal them quickly so Whirlwind won't get them. When the dragon starts to counter-Absorb, its HP is in the range to trigger its hidden full-heal, but it will not do so until its next turn. If your levels are high enough, try to rush it down; use quick and powerful attacks and spells like Throw, Bane, or casting Nuke, Flare, Bio, Holy or White. The less HP Absorb restores, the closer it is to dying. If you are quick and hit it hard, you can end the fight here. If you can't defeat it in time, it will give a telltale "shudder" (like Zeromus and some other bosses) and cast a silent Black Hole cancelling your Image/E-Mantle status (you need to reapply it). If this happens, it has healed itself back up to full HP and moved to its second phase. Now, instead of countering with physical attacks, it will counter with Tornado, so make your attacks count as max damage per attack is more important than speed; you should only use Throw (Edge), Focus (Yang), Bane (DK Cecil) or Jump (Kain) for physical attacks, and only the highest-power attack spells should be cast (Ultima, Quasar, Meteo, Bahamut, Flare). Multiple uses of Cure 4 and X-Potions will probably be necessary as people will constantly be getting dropped into single digit HP and Whirlwind goes back to full power with the boss's self-heal. Anyone who can't hit for at least 6,000 damage should focus on healing/reviving. When the Storm Dragon falls under 21,845 HP the second time, it moves to its final phase. Now every attack against it will get a full-party Tornado counter, so every time you hit it, you must heal the whole party with your next action. Like Shinryu, it's not unusual to finish the fight with everyone in critical HP. |
Lightning-elemental weapons are mandatory if you want to use physical attacks. Wind and Petrify protection are nice but not required. | 75+ | Mt. Ordeals
Dragon Lance / Crystal Ring / AntiMatter / Void Stone |
| Magissa
35,790 HP |
|
Magissa is not only very fast but also difficult to do lasting damage to, because her physical attacks drain HP from your characters. As a nod to FFV, they can also poison you. She also has level 2 elemental spells to bring to bear that hit for 250-500 HP damage, and can knock the whole party out with Sleep Gas and blind them with Cold Snap. She can also use Vampire to inflict HP Leak and Entangle to paralyze, and this all means if you're fighting her pre-Tower of Zot you may have trouble keeping Tellah upright and getting worn down by her nonstop HP stealing. Finally, she can repeatedly summon a Mad Ogre to the fight, which is easily dispatched by a properly equipped Yang but puts Magissa in the back row until you kill it, further limiting your ability to damage her. That's a serious problem because she will start using Absorb when her HP gets low; it functions like later FFs' White Wind, healing based on how much HP she currently has remaining.
Cid is an MVP candidate for this fight because one of his Tools commands, Beam, always deals 10% of the target's max HP in damage every turn he gets. The rest of the party just needs to deal more damage than Magissa can heal for; Yang equipped with the Kaiser is ideal against the Mad Ogre, and Focus is devastating against both. Cecil should be attacking with the best sword available, but he may need to be assigned to Cover Tellah to try to help keep him alive. If you wait until after Zot you switch Tellah's ability to hit with Fire 3 spells for Kain's back row-ignoring Jump attacks and Rosa's more durable and reliable healing (and back row-ignoring arrow shots). Rosa or Tellah should cast Slow once or twice if they can spare a turn for it. If you can get Magissa's HP low enough to keep Absorb from healing for more than Beam does, you've essentially won and it's just a matter of time to finish her off as long as Cid stays alive. If you wait until after the underworld or later to do the fight, you can pretty much crush her under your heel. |
Kaiser Claw is a guaranteed one-shot kill on summoned Mad Ogres. Magissa is weak against Fire so use the Flame Sword from Zot, Fire Arrows and a Fire Claw in Yang's other hand. Any equipment that protects against status ailments helps; Sleep is the most important. | 25+ | Deep Forest
Brigand Axe |
| The 4 Crystals
65,535 HP |
|
The Crystals will start by using Digest which can cause mild or high damage (equipment depending) up to 4 characters. Once complete, they'll start using Blaster which can be an instant KO but level/equipment depending, will often miss. During the 3rd round the Crystals will use Absorb which heals 9,999 damage, followed-up by Glance and Foul Order (Confuse/Charm and status aliments respectively). The final round that can be predicted will be them attacking a character for heavy damage and healing for the same.
The next rounds can be them starting their pattern over, using Hex, hitting with a 2-step attack (Crush which is an instant KO then Condemn), or MegaFlare which hits for 9,999 per character. As of V22 the Crystals can go into Crush much earlier if you've destroyed one of them. The first few rounds are pretty easy, especially if Blaster misses all 4 times. Rydia can cast Bahamut, Rosa uses Ultima, Edge uses Atomic Bomb, Kain Jumps, and Cecil attacks. Once the Crystals start using Glance and Foul Order, have all the characters use "Decoy" to add Image, causing the attack/recovery stage of the Crystals to yield no damage/recovery. Continue to have Kain Jump, Cecil act as a tank, Rydia use Bahamut, Rosa Ultima, and Edge Atomic Bomb. The next best course of action is to have everyone start using Lunar/Light Veils. With a bit of luck, all 4 will start using MegaFlare which will reflect for 14,999 damage apiece. If you've managed to do enough damage during the first few rounds, this will end the fight. If the Crystals start using Crush/Condemn, you may still be able to pull off a win if you can bring people back and still reflect MegaFlare. Do not under any circumstance leave only one Crystal alive. It will Crush your entire party immediately for an instant game over. This fight can take a bit of luck but can be won. If you're feeling a bit vindictive, you are able to battle them as many times as you want: do so after you've opened the final item shop and loaded everyone to the brim. Edward with a Salved Lunar Veil completely shuts down both MegaFlare and the max damage physicals, leaving Crush as the only threat (and that can be shut down with Cursed Rings and Dark-resistant equipment). |
End game gear though not much helps beyond Adamant armor. Cursed Rings + any Dark-resisting equipment will max heal you from Crush. | 80+ | Crystal Spire
Hero Medal |
| Shinryu
65,535 HP |
|
Shinryu will start the fight by using Supernova (drops everyone to single digit HP) and then uses Vitalize. He'll quickly mock you ("Are you wasting my time?") then use Lit Flash on 1-2 characters. Ideally you've been able to heal with an All-Potion at this point or you'll lose 1-2 characters. At this point, Shinryu will use Whirlwind dealing 2-4,000 damage to everyone, and Thunder which can strike up to 3 characters. He will telegraph Whirlwind by "shuddering" like Zeromus does before Big Bang; its damage will decrease as you do more damage to him.
As the battle goes on, Shinryu will repeat his initial pattern but Supernova may hit less characters if you're lucky (sometimes as low as 1) making the damage much easier to contend with. Shinryu also will counter summons with Tidal Wave. Jump and spells will be punished with a counter Atomic Ray which deals 3-5,000 damage to the entire party and can wipe you in seconds; he'll even Atomic Ray you if you try to Slow him, and wind up negating it with Fast anyway. You have to be very careful about hitting him because using several of the wrong kind of attack in a row can provoke multiple Atomic Rays and send the fight from completely in control to game over before you know what hit you. Do not apply Wall to anyone; if you do Shinryu will detect it and Atomic Ray you until you die (V27 and later). The safest way to attack him is to stick to plain vanilla physicals and Throwing high-powered weapons as this will result in a somewhat more manageable Lit Flash counter. When his HP gets under 25% he will counter anything that hits him with Atomic Ray, while spamming Supernova/Vitalize until he gets back over 25% HP, at which point he will return to his previous attack pattern. This Supernova *will not miss*, nor will Atomic Ray, and nothing will mitigate the damage from Supernova. To prepare for this, put on as many buffs to your Magic defense as you possibly can; Salved Elf Cloaks from Edward, Big Guard from Cecil, Shell from Rosa/Porom and Boast from Palom. Keep stacking these defenses until the spell animations no longer appear when you cast them; by maxing out your Magic defense this way you can reduce Atomic Ray from party-wiper to a pinprick. Edward, if he is in the party, should Hide for insurance in case things go pear shaped during this phase. You need to get everyone's HP high enough to be able to survive one Atomic Ray at a time, while also dealing damage to him so he can't Vitalize his way out of it. If your levels aren't at the recommended level you're going to probably need to use several All-Potions to stay alive long enough to punch him out. Attacking at this point should be restricted to Edge (Throw) or Yang (Focus), and their survival is top priority. Don't be surprised if you win the battle with everyone in critical HP from the constant Supernovas. Another battle where slow and steady wins the race. Boosting your defenses as much as you possibly can at the start will pay huge dividends when the Atomic Rays start coming. Some luck does go into this fight and if you're having a hard time keeping the damage to the team manageable, reduce the Battle Speed so there's a bit more time between turns to help recover. |

Illumina / Quasar Spell / Mighty Guard Spell / Cure 5 Spell / Pray Upgrade |
| Selene
65,535 HP |
|
There are 2 strategies that can be used: a standard one that will make the fight challenging and an "easy" one where the fight will be much more manageable.
The easy strategy is to farm for 1 or 2 Adamant Armors and place them on Rosa and Rydia. They’ll take virtually no damage from any attack, be immune to charm, and if they both use a powerful AoE attack (Ultima and Bahamut), the fight will be over in moments. Keep in mind that Selenes counter any magic cast against them with AoE Petrify, and if two characters use spells in a row without healing or immunity you can wind up with a bunch of statues quickly. They will also counter summons with a full party Charm, and non-Magic skills with Slap. When both Selenes are still alive but one gets low on HP, it will physically attack twice in a turn, probably killing two people. If you use this tactic, you'll have to ensure that both Selene monsters die at the same time or the one left standing will use “Eclipse” which deals 14,999 damage regardless of equipment. If more than 2 characters are standing, Selene will Charm the entire team (i.e. anyone who's not immune) and drop them with Eclipse. This means if only 1 character is immune to Charm, this tactic is more risky because it would require 1 character to get off a spell before Eclipse is used. The more standard method involves putting Rosa, Rydia, and Edge in the back as they will take far less damage in the back row. Kill 2 of the Artemis (if all 3 are down, Selene will start using Charm) and begin using strong, single attacks against both in an alternate fashion. If you ignore an Artemis, they'll self-explode dealing high damage to a single character. As of V32 the Artemis have received a massive HP upgrade so they may not die to a single Bahamut cast. Get rid of them as fast as you can without jeopardizing the fight so they can't kamikaze the party. Edge can throw Ninja Stars at one Selene, Rydia can use Nuke on the other, and Rosa heals/uses Life on Cecil/Kain if they are killed (Holy does little damage to Selene). The party should also use Decoys to dodge Selene’s attacks (Selene will then use an attack that looks like Cecil's Dark Wave to deal low damage). Rosa can cure as needed while Cecil and Kain use healing items or magic as required (if image wears off and a character drops). Since Edward can Salve Decoys on the whole party, he can help free other characters to attack and can also salve Remedies to fix Petrify. Palom isn't a bad bet either for his ability to MT powerful spells (he's most useful if he knows Quasar) but watch out for Petrify. Finally, Yang can no-sell Selene's physicals with his upgraded Brace from the king of Fabul; the only thing that can bring him down is Eclipse. He's actually a great option to tank in the front row while dispensing healing items. Again, once one drops kill the other as quickly as possible and as Nuke/Ninja Stars do similar damage, the other should be close to death (you can use Cecil/Kain to perform an attack to offset a delta if required). The Selenes can counter with Cure 4 once their HP gets low; you can deny them the healing by casting Wall on them. You can actually pull off this fight pre-Giant of Babil if you have at least two E-Mantles and FuSoYa in your party and five Headbands so you can equip them to the whole party. Get E-Mantles up on Cecil and FuSoYa as soon as possible. When party members get killed by a Selene, revive them with Life potions so they are in critical HP and Cecil will auto-Cover them, taking no damage because of the E-Mantle. You need to keep their HP just high enough that they can't get picked off by the Dark Wave attack which Cecil can't Cover, so use low-level Cure spells multitargeted to keep them just above 250 HP. Have Rydia cast Bahamut and FuSoYa use Blue. The Charm counters will be nullified by your Headbands, and two of the four possible Blue attacks FuSoYa can use (Blaze and LitFlash) against the Selenes will hit the damage cap; that's over 16,000 HP damage. FireGale will only deal ~1,500 HP while Digest will not hurt them at all, so hope you get one of the first two. If you don't have inordinately bad RNG luck, FuSoYa can win this all by himself if he applies an E-Mantle before he gets hit and has Charm protection. |
Adamant Armor for the "easy" strat or end-game equipment otherwise. Glass Helmets can help offset Selene's physical attacks. You want Charm immunity at minimum; having Stone immunity too is ideal. | 70+ | Crystal Spire
Eclipse Voidblade |
| Marilith
65,535 HP |
|
Marilith will start the fight with Sword Rain against all characters which deals 2,000+ damage. The rest of the fight she'll use Sleep Gas, Hex (Curse status), full-party Mini, Charm, and a powerful AoE Virus-like spell (Bio). Marilith can also heal with Absorb and use Sword Rain against 1 character for likely-fatal damage. If the Gorgons and Lamia Queens are destroyed, she can revive them.
Start the fight by using Bahamut to take out both Gorgons and Lamia Queens (both more annoying than anything else). If you're taking too much damage for Rosa, have Rydia fill in with Asura or Cecil with Cure 3/All-Potion. Bio hurts a lot and may kill; if you can, try to Wall or Light Veil to reflect it back on her (Edward is helpful to Salve it on the whole party if he survives the opening Sword Rain), and it will also protect you from her status-inflicting spells. Silk Webs will greatly help cutting down the boss's speed. Get all your buffs and debuffs on as early as you can because when the boss hits her final phase you need to go all out attacking. When she counter-Absorbs, this is a tipoff she's going into her final phase where she spams single target Sword Rain to kill characters. Restoring HP is pointless as it will do over 10,000 HP damage, so focus on reviving and attacking and not healing. You need to get her down before she picks you off one by one. An all out assault will be best: Kain Jumps with a non-Holy weapon (Dragon Lance or Hyperion), Cecil can attack with Ultima Weapon, Ultima II or Hyperion, Edge throws Ninja Stars, Rydia uses Bahamut or Nuke, and Rosa uses Ultima or Holy. |
Any end game equipment will work, which you will have since this is post-Goddess fight. As much status protection as possible (Charm and Mini at least). As she is strong against Holy, ensure that you're not using weapons that deal this damage type. | 70+ | Ancient Grotto
Slaying Tail / Bio Spell |
| Magma Golem
65,535 HP |
|
Magma Golem will start the fight by using Crush which is an instant KO to a single character. Crush will continued to be used until the Flame Dogs are destroyed and then he'll alternate between using Erupt (max HP-based damage) and Lava Wave (high damage).
Once the Dogs are destroyed, Magma Golem will cast Fire 3 on itself to heal several thousand HP and the use 2 AoE fire attacks listed above. After both spells, Magma Golem will revive the Flame Dogs and begin using Crush again. If you’re able to quickly kill the Dogs, Magma Golem will only be able to use Crush once. However, if you time it right and use an item that does high-level ice damage the second they are revived, Magma Golem will skip the use of Crush and go into his post-dog routine. Bring as many Iceblasts and North Winds as you can, they should deal sufficient damage to immediately kill the Dogs. The Golem can also be Slowed and this will help give you some breathing room to attack in between revivals (use Silk Webs to keep Rosa available to heal). You can also cast Wall on Magma Golem to prevent him from self-healing but the reflected spell will one-shot a character unless they're wearing equipment to offset the damage. Cecil can heal (and in a perfect world, will be the one who gets dropped by the initial Crush), Rydia uses Ice 3 or Bahamut if Wall is up, Edge is great for using an “Ice Item” to kill the dogs right away but can also throw Ninja Stars for max damage, while Kain Jumps. Cursed Rings are great for several reasons: Using them with Fire-resistant equipment absorbs Lava Wave and Erupt (and reflected Fire 3s), while pairing them with Dark-resistant equipment will full-heal you from Crush, making you basically invincible. You might not have any Dark-resistant equipment the first time you fight it, but keep it in mind for the Boss Rush and New Game +. Once you've gone through two or three rounds, don't be afraid to attempt a final rush (Bahamut, Ultima, high-level throwing items, attacking). Often, the Dogs may be up but you'll do just enough damage to kill the Magma Golem and then the Flame Dogs will fall quickly. |
Ice weapons don't seem to deal much more damage than end-game weapons that produce Holy. Any gear that can offset fire attacks will cause his post-dog attacks to be much more manageable. | 65-70+ | Magma Caverns
Flare Sledgehammer / Adamant Helm |
| Yeti
65,535 HP |
|
Yeti will start the fight by using "ROAR" which is a strong, physical AoE attack against the party. Lower-level parties and those not equipped with end-game gear will take several thousand points of damage. Yeti will then use variations of Cold Mist against the party: Single use, double use, single use and self-heal. Yeti can also self-heal with Vitalize as a single use. Rosa and Cecil should heal with Rydia uses Nuke or Bahamut, Edge throws high-level items, and Kain jumps. Slow him down with a Silk Web or Slow or you may not be able to keep up with him. When he gets below half HP he will yell "Aaargh!" and counter you with Cold Mist upon being damaged. If he says "Huff..." he will use Ice 3 on his next turn, for 1,000-1,500 HP of damage to your whole party. If he says "Grrr.... ERRGHH!" he is going to use Absorb to restore HP (this will get less effective the more damage you do to him). Try to stack multiple defense buffs up ASAP (Salved Elf Cloaks, Big/Mighty Guard, MT Protect) to minimize his "ROAR" damage and dial the battle speed down to 6 if you're having trouble staying alive. | Any equipment that reduces physical attacks can make this fight go much smoother (Glass helmet, Adamant Armor). Equipment that reduces Ice damage can help but Cold Mist isn't as damaging, even if Yeti uses it twice in a row. | 60-65+ | Ice Cave
Dragon Claw / Berserk Ring |
| Zemus' Illusions
55,535 HP |
|
Both Illusions will start by using attacks like Drain until they're hit by magic. At this time, Zemus will say "Magic, huh? I'll show you!" and both will counter with Fast, Wall, and Revitalize. Continued use of magic will cause them to start bouncing level 3 spells off themselves to hit the party for high damage (2,000-3,500 HP). Occasionally they will use Condemn which can cause a character to quickly drop if the Battle Speed is set to 1. Try to destroy both Illusions at the same time so Zemus can't revive them.
While it's possible to go at a slow pace with attacks only, using a lot of AoE magic will cause both to quickly drop: Edge uses Atomic Bomb, Kain Jumps, Rydia summons Bahamut, Rosa uses Ultima (or Cure 4 as needed), while Cecil uses Cure 3 or All-Potions. It's not a bad idea to start the fight spending a few rounds layering up Magic defense buffs (Big Guard, MT Shell, Salved Elf Cloaks) before you start attacking so you can lay into them with your best spells without needing to worry all that much about the spells they cast back at you. |
Any and all gear from the Lunar Subterrane/Core | 55+ | Lunar Core |
| Ultima Weapon
65,535 HP |
|
Ultima starts the fight using Ultima (which may not hit everyone) and then quickly follows up with Meteo. Depending on your level of luck, this may end in a total KO or restart. For the beginning of the fight, Ultima will use Nuke, Blaze, Crush (may not cause an instant KO), Virus, and Tsunami; all of these are high-damaging attacks.
Once that phase is complete, he'll use Ultima and Meteo again but often, the characters hit are reduced. As the battle presses on, he'll add Whirlwind to the mix, as well as a double physical attack. Again, all high-damaging attacks. Because of Ultima's powerful attacks, staying on the defense is key. Rosa should be using Cure 4 every turn with Rydia summoning Asura if required (though remember, she has a 1/3 change of using Reinforce versus Refresh/Renew). Kain should Jump as much as possible to get out of the line of fire, Edge should throw high-level weapons, and Cecil can act as an ancillary healer (Cure 3, All-Potions and/or Elixirs) for Rydia/Rosa. If everyone has full HP he should use Big Guard to boost your defense and Magic defense. Like many of the end-game bosses, a slow approach tends to work better than an all-out blitz attack and taking a gamble (e.g. having Rosa cast Ultima versus healing if the party is full) can quickly cause a game over. However, when the boss is near death it will use a two-step attack of Meteo followed by Vitalize. At this point you need to get aggressive before its combination of powerful attack and self-heal wears you down. |
Any and all gear from the Lunar Subterrane/Core. Meteo is Holy-elemental so pairing Holy resistance with Cursed Rings lets you absorb it. You can do the same with Blaze and Ice resistance. | 55+ | Lunar Subterrane
Apollo Harp / Protect Ring / SunFlare Spell |
| Ultima Buster
65,535 HP |
|
Ultima Buster uses the same pattern and attacks as Ultima Weapon, but it has much, much higher attack and defense. It starts the fight using Ultima (which may not hit everyone) and then quickly follows up with Meteo. Depending on your levels and RNG, this may end in a total KO or restart. For the beginning of the fight, the boss will use Nuke, Blaze, Crush (may not cause an instant KO), Virus, and Tsunami; all of these are stronger than the first battle, and should be expected to hit for 2-4,000 HP damage. It can also use a double physical attack and Whirlwind. When its HP is under half, it will go to a two-step attack of Whirlwind then Meteo followed by Vitalize. It counters magic and summons with Nuke and physicals in kind, switching to Blaze as a counter when its HP is low.
As much as possible, defense-ignoring attacks and spells such as Nuke, Flare and Throw should be utilized. Physical attacks will provoke disproportionate retribution from Ultima Buster considering how little damage you will deal to it, so characters who cannot use defense-ignoring attacks or spells should focus on healing or applying Magic defense buffs. Get a Silk Web applied to the boss as soon as you safely can to slow it down. Using Wall, Reflect or Light Veils on your party will let you bounce Nuke and Virus back onto the boss, but you will have to use Cure 5, All-Potions or Asura for healing. When the boss goes into desperation mode, switch gears to a more aggressive attack to get it down before it can heal itself or wipe you. |
All gear from the Lunar Subterrane/Core and any Super Boss-given equipment you may have. Meteo is Holy-elemental so pairing Holy resistance with Cursed Rings lets you absorb it. You can do the same with Blaze and Ice resistance. | 75+ | Lunar Subterrane
Chicken Knife / Grand Helm |
| Omega Weapon
214,140 - 259,137 HP |
|
Omega uses the same attack script as Gamma (Wall, Erupt, Blaster, Heat Ray, ElectroMg, Laser, Quake, Black Hole, Maser, repeat), but it has far more HP and attack power (it silently counter-heals itself like Zeromus when it drops below 16,000 HP the first three times). This means two things: You have to fight it considerably longer than Gamma, giving it more shots at you, and because the damage Laser inflicts is based on Omega's HP, unless you rush it down as hard as you possibly can, you're pretty much guaranteed to lose someone the first time it uses it (not to mention Blaster could kill someone too). It has a wicked new trick to play when the fight is near the end, so you should now spend some time at the start of the fight applying buffs to your magic defense until it's maxed out (repeatedly cast Big Guard, MT Shell, Salved Elf Cloaks etc.) Most of the boss's attacks are HP-based so it won't seem like it does any good, but at the end of the battle your odds of victory will be greatly improved.
Make sure you go into the fight with Float status to deal with Quake, and when you lose it to Black Hole, reapply it via an MT cast from Rosa, Cecil or Porom. As you deplete its HP the second time, it will start countering you with Beam and later Maser when you attack it. Wall means you have to use summons or non-reflectable spells to hit it; you can Wall someone and reflect Slow onto it if you want. Throwing with Edge or Jumping with Kain is your most reliable source of damage. The Stop from ElectroMg lasts a very long time so you may want to kill stopped characters and revive them to get them back in action faster. When the boss starts countering with physical attacks (which can inflict Charm), it is in its final phase. Eventually the music will change and the screen will darken. Omega will tremble and a countdown from 3 will appear. When the countdown finishes one of two things will happen depending on its remaining HP: It will either use Atomic Ray on your whole party (this is new to V32), which will probably wipe you unless you maxed your magic defense with buffs earlier in the fight, and then count down again, or it will use Fission and explode to nail your whole party with an unblockable attack based on its current HP. To survive this you can do one or more of the following:
Unless you're on New Game + you are probably not going to be able to do enough damage to kill Omega before it detonates, but try to do as much as you can anyway to lessen the blow from Fission. If it Atomic Rays you instead and you survive it, you can probably kill it in time before it finishes another countdown. Like Shinryu, maxing your defenses at the start of the fight can save you heartbreak at the end. |
Optimal equipment. Charm protection recommended. Fire protection helps with Erupt and Heat Ray. | 70-80+ | Tower of Babil
Omega Ring / Black Hole Spell / Globe199 / AntiMatter |
| Raiden
65,535 HP |
|
Unlike Odin who will use Atom Edge after a set period of time, Raiden will use this out of the gate so the player must strike Raiden with a lightning-elemental item or spell. Once hit, Raiden's attack power will drop significantly and only do a few hundred damage to the party.
Raiden will then raise his sword once more, and the player must strike him with lightning again. Failure to do so before Raiden uses Atom Edge will deal 9,000+ damage to the entire party. Edge can use Blitz and Rydia can use any lightning spell to achieve this effect. Cecil, Kain, and Rosa must use items that produce a lightning effect. As the battle goes on, Raiden will get faster so ideally, you'll alternative with a powerful attack and a lightning attack. Note that unlike Odin, he does not actually take extra damage from lightning, so use your weakest items like ZeusRage and ThorRage rather than waste Lit-Bolts, and cast low-level Lit spells rather than waste MP on Lit 3 or 4. |
Equipment is less important in this fight but anything that grants increased agility will help you keep up with Raiden. | 50+ | Lunar Subterrane
Raiden Summon / Unlock Dark Knight Cecil |
| Zemus' Spirit
21,800 HP |
|
Zemus' Spirit will use attacks like Blaze that deals 20% max HP damage to the party. Follow-up attacks are level 3 elemental spells that can cause decent damage to the party, as well as high level attacks. Level depending, groups can withstand this assault but if the damage becomes overwhelming, use Wall, Light and/or Lunar Veils to reflect the attacks. Spirit will also use Condemn which can be problematic if you have the Battle Speed set to 1.
Having Rosa cast Slow can also cause the damage to be a bit more manageable. Beyond that, standard tactics apply: Rosa heals and uses Holy/Ultima, Rydia can summon Bahamut or Asura for attack/healing, Edge attacks or Throws high-level items, Kain Jumps, and Cecil attacks and offers support (Healing or Ethers/Elixirs as required). |
Any set of equipment that helps reduce elemental magic | 50+ | Lunar Subterrane
Big Guard Spell |
| Gilgamesh?!
65,535 HP |
|
The first two battles cannot be won so work on staying alive. After a few rounds, Gilgamesh will retreat.
During the third battle, Gilgamesh will use variations of his "Caliburn" attack: Single attack, double attack, or an attack that hits all party members. The damage Caliburn does is always equal to 1/3 of a character's max HP; for example a character with a max HP of 4,500 would always take 1,500 damage from it. There is also an attack that will restore HP to Gilgamesh based on damage. This is a damage race so have Edge throw high-level weapons, Kain can use Focus or Jump, Rydia can summon Bahamut or use Nuke, while Rosa and Cecil can offset damage with Cure 4 and Cure 3/M-Potions. After that fight, you can battle Gilgamesh any time you want in the Lunar Whale. He has Omega and 3 Last Arms as ally and their AI is completely random and always changes. Defeating him will result in him rewarding you with a substantial number of weapons, so make sure you have room in your inventory. |
Any equipment picked up in the Lunar Subterrane. During the first two fights, he inflicts a lot of status effects. | 50-65, though lower levels actually make this fight easier as Caliburn does a percentage of max HP which means Cure 4 will be more effective if there is less damage to heal. | Thief Knife (1st) Void Stone (2nd) Caliburn (3rd) |
| Gamma
44,444 HP |
|
Prior to starting the flight, cast Float on your party as it will use Quake which usually leads to a game over.
Gamma follows a set pattern: Wall, Erupt, Blaster, Heat Ray, ElectroMg, Laser, Quake, Black Hole, Maser, repeat, so have 1-2 characters (Rosa Cure 4, Cecil Cure 3 or Rydia Asura) on healing duty. Float will prevent Quake from dealing damage. Kain should Jump as it will prevent him from taking damage while Edge should throw Shuriken or Ninja Stars. Gamma can also Vitalize for 4,444 HP so ensure you're piling on damage as quickly as possible. |
If you attempt this fight before clearing the Lunar Subterrane, ensure you have the equipment from Bahamut's cave and the Feymarch. If after, any of the end-game items. Fire resistance helps. | 50-65 (equipment depending) | Cave Eblan
Wing Edge / 5x Ninja Stars |
| Warmech
44,444 HP |
|
Warmech will use Beam (damage = 10% of your max HP) against all party members. Laser is high damage against a single unit based on Warmech's current HP (usually 1 shot KO), and Erupt deals 20% max HP damage (10% if resisted). Focus attacks on the Last Arm first to prevent it from freezing party members with ElectroMg.
Once defeated, leverage high-level spells and attacks on the Warmech. Rosa should heal, Rydia can use Nuke or heal with Asura (if acquired). FuSoYa should also use Nuke or heal as necessary; Cecil can attack or assist with support magic/items (e.g. Ether) while Edge Throws any high-level items available. Once the Warmech has been defeated, focus high-level attacks on the Searcher as it will summon Last Arms. Using AoE magic (Meteo, Ultima, Bahamut) will cause the Last Arm and Searcher to fall quickly and the Warmech will start using more damaging Beam/Laser attacks. All 3 monsters can use Fission as a final death attack to do single, high level damage to one character. |
Standard equipment from the Feymarch and related areas will be enough. Ideally Cecil should have Excalibur and Edge have a supply of throwing weapons. | 40-55 | Giant of Babil |
| Magma Giant
24,000 HP |
|
Magma Giant will use Erupt (AoE Fire attack dealing 20% of max HP damage), Heat Ray which will hit all party members, and the Beamers will use Beam as a single attack. Start by focusing your attacks on the 3 Beamers (Titan works very well). Beam attacks can cause high damage at this point so have Rosa and Cecil heal as required.
Yang can do heavy damage with Ice Claws and Focus, Rydia should summon Titan for max damage, then switch to Ice-2 once the Giant is isolated, while Kain jumps. Magma Giant will sometimes counter Ice spells with Ice of his own. He is also weak against Lightning so Cecil can really hurt him with the Thunder Sword equipped. |
Equipment can vary if you've managed to get lucky drops or have explored outside the "normal" areas. Equipment acquired from either Silvera or the Dwarf Castle will be sufficient. Be careful about using Flame Armor or Shield as this makes you weak to Fire. If you have the Thunder Sword, use it. | 25-30 | Tower of Babil |
| Vulture
12,000 HP |
|
Have Cecil and Cid attack the 3 Cockatrice until they are defeated. Yang should have 2 Thunder Claws equipped and use Focus on the Vulture. Tellah can attack with Lit-3 or heal as required. Cecil can also assist with healing after the Cockatrices are destroyed. Vulture can use petrify so make sure to offset that before it stones a character. | Standard equipment will work but giving Cecil and Cid Bows and Thunder Arrows can help speed up the fight as Vulture is weak to both "shoot" and Lightning. | 20-25 | Chocobo Forest |
| Mist Rage
700 HP |
|
This battle operates very closely to the Mist Dragon with a few notable exceptions: Mist Rage's attack power is quite a bit higher than the Mist Dragon and will counter with Cold Breath ("Don't you dare!") if Kain uses Jump; this attack is extremely powerful. Have Cecil and Kain both attack and heal as required. | Cecil and Kain's default equipment | 10-11 | Mist |
| Movers
65,535 HP |
|
The Movers must all be destroyed at the same time. If any one of the three are left alive they will quickly revive the dead ones back to full HP. This means using exclusively AOE attacks so it's best to bring a team full of mages. Palom and Rydia should be casting high-level AOE spells and summons such as Quasar and Bahamut (Meteo takes too long to cast and Bio doesn't hit very hard). Porom and Rosa should cast Ultima. Cecil and anyone else in the party should use high-level attack magic items that hit all enemies. Edward can Salve an Antimatter so it hits all three of them; the others should use Void Stones or Stardust. Don't use a Globe199, you need to save them for Neo Bahamut. Don't waste time buffing, just unload on them with your strongest spells.
After shuddering on their first turn, the back Mover will use Embrace (restores HP but turns you to stone immediately); it's a wasted turn if it hits someone with Petrify protection. The other two will attack; it drains HP and inflicts Charm so you must have Charm immunity, as time is of the essence and you cannot afford losing control of anyone. Once your spells start hitting them, they will Wall themselves and then reflect Laser onto you. This is why it is essential you rush them down as fast as you can; the more HP you take off of them, the less damage Laser will do. If you get unlucky and someone with low max HP gets hit, you may be in trouble, because their next move is to use Demolish (instant death). The only one making any effort to revive people should be Cecil; everyone else needs to keep firing off their strongest spells and keep the pressure on. Make sure you're using spells and summons that will pass through Wall, so Ultima, Quasar and Bahamut only. If you can get three or four hits of Ultima/Quasar plus a Bahamut or two or a good spell-casting item hit, that should be enough to get rid of them. If any one of the three survives, focus fire on it immediately as you have maybe one shot to kill it before it revives the others. The Movers can be encountered as a random encounter on the same floor that they appear in chests. The chest encounters cannot be run from, but the random encounters can and should be. Only fight Movers if you absolutely need to. |
Charm protection is mandatory. Stone and/or Instant Death protection is recommended. Otherwise wear anything that boosts Will and Wisdom because you want maximum magical damage. | 70+ | Lunar Core
