1.0 - The Intro
-----------------
Hello readers and welcome to my FFVI Boss FAQ. This guide will give hints and
tips on those bosses you like to curse to oblivion. My style of Boss FAQ
writing will be as follows:
1) I will state the name of the of the boss, it's HP/MP, and it's level (LVL).
2) I will state the location of the boss (optional bosses only).
3) I will state what you can steal from it and its elemental weaknesses.
4) I will state a short explanation on how to beat the boss.
I'm also writing an Boss FAQ on FFV but that will take some time.

3.0 - Types of Parties
------------------
In most events of the game you have to split up into different party with
members you choose. I will state the 4 types of parties I recommend:
Power Party: This party will consist of your strongest members. EXAMPLE: Cyan,
Sabin, Edgar to name a few.
Magic Party: This party will consist of your magic users. EXAMPLE: Terra, Celes
to name a few.
Average Party: This party will contain at least one or two strong and magic
members.
Reserve Party: This party will contain the members you don't know what to do
with, or have abilities you might not need.
------------------
4.0 - The Bosses
------------------
Ahh! The moment we've been waiting for. The bosses. Generally, you can just
skip through to the boss you are stuck on, or you can read the whole guide if
you enjoy reading them.
NOTE: Bosses in this game DO NOT give you EXP. And only SOME boss give out gil,
so don't expect to be recieving any. However, the Guard Leader gives some gil.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss Fight: Ymir
================
HP: 1600
MP: 1000
LVL: 6
Steal: Nothing
Drop: Hi-Potion
Immune To: ---
Weak Against: ---
Absorbs: ---
Strategy: Upon entering the battle, Biggs and Wedge explain that the shell
absorbs attacks (lighting). So DO NOT attack it. Ymir can cast Slow on you and
do a basic attack on you. At various times, Ymir's head will pop into its
shell. DO NOT attack the shell, remember. If you do, he will do a powerful
lighting counterattack. When its head is in its shell, take this time to heal
up and then keep on defending till it comes back out. Have Terra use MagiTek
Missle. Biggs and Wedge can use whatever they like to attack.

Boss Fight: Guard Leader
========================
HP: 420
MP: 150
LVL: 8
Steal: Mythril Knife
Drop: Hi-Potion
Gil: 350 gil
Immune To: ---
Weak Against: Poison
Absorbs: ---
Strategy: It would be wise to send in an all-moogle party into this fight since
they have better weapons and HP. I had the party with Locke in it, so it was a
bit harder. It's pretty straight-forward. Have everyone attack the dogs first
then the Guard Leader. Use items to heal when nesseccary. The boss has some
wicked strength, and will also cast Stop on one of your party members at the
start of the battle.

Boss Fight: MagiTek Armour x2
=============================
HP: 210
MP: 250
LVL: 8
Steal: Hi-Potion, Potion
Drop: Hi-Potion (What's with these Hi-Potions anyways?)
Immune To: ---
Weak Against: Lighting
Absorbs: ---
Strategy: This boss is really easy once you have set roles for everybody. These
guys are weaker than when you were on one of these. They will use a bunch off
attacks that I'm not bothered to explain. But they don't hurt too bad. Have
Edgar use Auto-CrossBow, Locke attack and Terra use Fire. When Terra uses Fire,
an interesting scene will be triggered.

Boss Fight: Vargas
==================
HP: 11600
MP: 220
LVL: 12
Steal: Mythril Claws, Potion
Drop: ---
Immune To: ---
Weak Against: ---
Absorbs: ---
Strategy: Firstly, you MUST take out the Ipoohs, because with them there, you
can't target Vargas. They have 360HP and are weak against Fire. Once, those are
down, focus all your attacks on Vargas. Don't forget to Steal Mythril Claws to
equip on Sabin later on. At times, Vargas will use Gale Cut, a devasting attack
that does about 200 damage to all party members.
Sooner or later, Sabin will enter the scene, and a scene will be triggered.
After the scene you end up fighting Vargas with Sabin alone. Sabin is at a
higher level than you and his normal attack does more damage that Edgar's Auto
CrossBow attack. Keep on hiting hin, healing when need, and you will then be
prompted to a Blitz technique. Which is left > right > left, then press A to
use Raging Fist. Vargas will then die.

Boss Fight: Ultros
==================
HP: 3000
MP: 640
LVL: 13
Steal: ---
Drop: ---
Immune To: ---
Weak Against: Fire, Lightning
Absorbs: ---
Strategy: Ultros is one funny character. He will make start taunting you after
you hit him with certain attacks. Ultros is easy but i suggest you send
everyone in the back row, because his Tentacles attack does about 300 damage,
if you are in the front row. DO NOT let Banon die. Because if he dies, it's
GAME OVER. But keeping him alive is easy because of his Pray ability. Usual
stuff. Have Edgar use Auto Cross-Bow, Sabin use the Raging Fist blitz, Terra
use Fire (since he's weak against it), and have Banon spam Pray every turn.
With ths setup, you CAN'T lose, unless you DO deliberately.

Boss Fight: Tunnel Armour
=========================
HP: 1300
MP: 900
LVL: 16
Steal: Bioblaster, Air Knife
Drop: Elixir
Gil: 250 gil
Immune To: ---
Weak Against: Lightning, Water
Absorbs: ---
Strategy: Tunnel Armour is strong. But there is a way to go around this. I did
this battle without getting hit once. What you do is have Celes use her Runic
ability every turn, because the Tunnel Armour likes to use magic. The Runic
ability absorbs the magic regardless who it's aimed at. Have Locke attack. If
you have the Genji Glove relic equipped on Locke, he will be dead in under a
minute.

Boss Fight: Phantom Train
=========================
HP: 1900
MP: 350
LVL: 14
Steal: ---
Drop: Tent
Immune To: ---
Weak Against: Fire, Holy, Lighting
Absorbs: Poison
Type: Undead
Strategy: There's a really BIG clue above. UNDEAD!!! Final Fantasy pros, get
out your Phoenix Downs!! Use a Phoenix Down on this hunk 'o' junk and it will
die.
But for those who like to play the hard way (or don't have any Phoenix Downs),
this boss is somewhat hell on wheels. The attacks it does, first of all. It
does, Acid Rain which hits your party for 150 damage. He also uses Diabolic
Whistle which hits your party for some damage and bring hellish status
aliments. EXAMPLE: My Sabin was poisoned, my Shadow was turned into a duck, and
my Cyan was slowed. Basically, you should have a set role for everyone. I'd
suggest, Sabin use AuraBolt/Raging Fist, Shadow throw Shruikens (I stocked up
on 99 of these), and have Cyan use his Fang Bushido. Heal from time to time and
keep your HP over 200.

Boss Fight: Rhizopas
====================
HP: 775
MP: 39
LVL: 13
Steal: ---
Drop: Remedy
Immune To: ---
Weak Against: Lightning
Absorbs: Water
Strategy: After fighting the Pihranas this will be a immediate boss. This boss
is really and i don't even know what it can do, because i beatit too quick. A
blitz and Fang from your duo should take it out almost immediately.

Boss Fight: Hell's Rider
========================
HP: 1300
MP: 170
LVL: 14
Steal: Elixir, Mythril Vest
Drop: Remedy
Immune To: ---
Weak Against: Fire, Poison
Absorbs: ---
Strategy: Really, there's nothing to be scared of, here. He may have wicked
defence but no worries because he has low strength. If you have a party of
Cyan, Sabin and Edgar, you know what to do. Fang, Raging Fist and AutoCrossBow.
He should be dead before you know it.

Boss Fight: Kefka
=================
HP: 3000
MP: 3000
LVL: 18
Steal: Elixir, Hi-Ether
Drop: Peace Ring
Immune To: ---
Weak Against: ---
Absorbs: ---
Strategy: Bosses like these are the ones I dread. Not exactly in gameplay terms
but in FAQ writing terms. I don't know what party you choose to fight this guy.
Personally, I recommend a Power Party fighting Kefka. Your Power Party would
probably be Cyan, Sabin and Edgar/Locke. They can just unleash the ultimate,
Fang/Raging Punch/AutoCrossBow technique. If you have an Average Party your
Magic user(s) can cure your party members and if you have Celes, she could use
Runic because Kefka likes to use Poison and Blizzard.

Boss Fight: 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: ---
Strategy: You should probably have an Average Party for this boss. I had
Sabin, Edgar, and Celes. If you have Locke, you should Mug (if you got the
Brigand Gloves) him. Sabin should use his Blitzes. Edgar should use Drill
(bought from Figaro Castle) or ChainSaw. Celes, can Cure, cast Blizzard or use
Runic. I never tried this my self, but when you are beating him down, he will
use about 5 H-Potions and cast Protect on himself. Runic should be able to
absorb Protect because Runic absorbs ANY magic used in the battle, whether it's
aimed for the enemy or an ally.

Boss Fight: Ultros (part 2)
===========================
HP: 2550
MP: 500
LVL: 19
Gil: 2 gil (cheapskates!)
Steal: ---
Drop: ---
Immune To: ---
Weak Against: Fire, Lightning
Absorbs: Water
Strategy: The big bad purple ocky is back. And this time, it's no joke. He has
a bunch of moves. He uses Acid Rain, the Phantom Train's move. He uses Fire. He
uses Imp Song. Imp, is bad. You can't use your special ability and your attack
power is cut in half. Use Green Cherries to cure it. His still has is Tentacles
attack, so moving everyone to the back row is a great idea, although the battle
will probably take a LOT longer. You should already have Locke and Celes in
your team (it's part of the story), so you should have either Cyan, Edgar,
Sabin or Gau as your other two. I had Cyan (so he could learn Flurry) and Edgar
as the other two. If you have junctioned Kirin to one of your party members
(FF8...!), then you should use that as it casts Regen. Also using Ramuh, would
be a great idea. Ultros is vunerable to lightining. Cyan, should use Fang or
Flurry, Sabin should use his blitzes like he's the star player of blitzball,
Edgar should use Drill. ChainSaw is not a good idea. It will miss. Happened to
me. If you have Gau, u should use a good rage. I'm not a master of Rages but I
heard Stray Cat is very good.

Esper Fight: Ifrit & Shiva
==========================
Ifrit:
-----
HP: 3300
MP: 600
LVL: 21
Steal: ---
Drops: ---
Immune To: Lightning, Poison, Wind, Holy, Earth. Water
Weak Against: Ice
Absorbs: Fire
Shiva:

HP: 3000
MP: 500
LVL: 21
Steal: ---
Drops: ---
Immune To: Lightning, Poison, Wind, Holy, Earth. Water
Weak Against: Fire
Absorbs: Ice
Strategy: Well, they're not that hard. Apart from the fact their "ara" spells
are quite damaging. As well as they basic spells. I you've played Final Fantasy
before, you should automatically that Ifrit is a fire esper that is vunerable
to Ice and Shiva vice versa. They like to cast spells that HURT, so have Celes
use her Runic abilty to block the magic attacks. You should know the deal with
the other 3. If you have Sabin, use your blitzes. Only use the fire element
blitz on Shiva. If you do it on Ifrit. you'll just heal him. If one of your
characters are learning Fire, then use that on Shiva. You fight them one at a
time. Try not to use any other elemental magic apart from Fire and Ice, because
they are Immune to it.

Boss Fight: Number 024
======================
HP: 4777
MP: 777
LVL: 24
Steal: Blood Sword or Rune Blade
Drops: Flametongue or Ice Brand
Immune To: ???
Weak Against: ???
Absorbs: ???
Strategy: This guy is easy. It's one if those "step aside, coming through"
bosses. Basically, this thing changes it's elemental weakness from time to time
if you use magic. So magic is out for this one. Physically attacks are the way
to go. Attack with your abilties and he should go down in no time.

Boss Fight: Number 128
======================
HP: 3276
MP: 810
LVL: 23
Steal: Kazekiri
Drops: Tent
Immune To: ---
Weak Against: ---
Absorbs: Ice
Strategy: Unlike the other boss, this boss is NO pushover. Understand? Good.
Steal from him to get a good weapon for Cyan. I didn't because Locke kept on
dying. Don't use any Ice spells unless you wanna be in for a long fight. Celes
is not in your party anymore, so you should have Locke and two others. I
brought the two power peeps Cyan, and Edgar. Sabin would be nice too. Have
Locke use Mug and attack. Use some spells OTHER THAN ICE to attack his arms and
the body at the same time. You should be learning some curative spells too.
Cure/a would be nice. Cyan should use Fang or Flurry. Edgar should use Auto
CrossBow and Drill. The boss is powerful and at one point, he will cast haste
on himself. BAD!! I ended this battle with Locke on his own. Hehe...

Boss Fight: Flame Eater
=======================
HP: 8400
MP: 480
LVL: 26
Steal: Flametongue
Drops: ---
Immune To: Lightning, Poison, Holy, Earth
Weak Against: Ice
Absorbs: Fire
Strategy: Anybody who is smart enough, would know NOT to use Fire magic/weapons
against this boss. This boss is also hard. Ice magic/weapons are the way to go
here. I was dealing about 1000 damage here with Blizara. Locke and Terra should
have already learned Blizzard/ara by now and should be using this to the full
extent. Strago should use Aqua Breath. The Flame Eater uses Fira/aga so either
equip Reflect Rings on everybody or have someone who has had Carbuncle with
them cast Reflect on everybody. Keep this process going and keep everyone HP
above 400-500 and you'll survive.

Boss Fight: Ultros (part 3)
===========================
HP: 22000
MP: 750
LVL: 25
Steal: White Cape
Drops: ---
Immune To: ---
Weak Against: Fire, Lightning
Absorbs: Water
Strategy: Remember Vargas? This is another boss that is ended straight-away by
a newcomer's special technique. But you have to hold him off till then. Ultros
never learns, does he? Well, his mother always said he was a slow learner. Make
sure Locke steals the White Cape relic from him. If you have Locke equipped
with the Thief's Glove and Genji Glove relics then you can attack and steal
twice in one turn! Cool, huh? Use Fire or Thunder, because those are his
weaknesses. I prefer Fire. It seems to do more damage than Thunder. You might
have learned from last time that you should put everyone in the back row to
recieve less damage from his Tentacles attack. He will cast Haste and Protect
on himself. Bad, but game over. Just keep on hitting him with Fira and
Thundara. If you Trance Terra then use Fira to deal 4000 damage!!! Sooner or
later, the newcomer, Relm will enter battle and will want to draw Ultros. When
her turn comes, use Sketch. It may fail the first time, so keep on Sketching
until she gets it right. The battle will end.

Boss Fight: Ultros (part 4) co-starring Typhon

Ultros:

Steal: Dried Meat

------
HP: 10000
MP: 40000
LVL: 26
Steal: Dagger
Drops: ---
Immune To: ---
Weak Against: Ice, Water
Absorbs: Fire
Strategy: This is the last time you'll face squidbrain here. He doesn't pose a
threat. Scorch him with Fire/a and Thunder/ara. When you've knocked enough HP
off of him, he will bring his friend along. Typhon. This thing looks scary. And
it absorbs Fire so use Ice. So to end the battle quickly, Trance Terra and have
her use Blizzara which will do something around 8000 damage. Then use Blizzara
again. Before it dies, it will use Snort on all your characters. But instead of
it taking you out of battle, it takes you straight off the bloody airship. And
you'll face a HARD boss before you can draw breath.

Boss Fight: Air Force
=====================
HP: 8000
MP: 750
LVL: 25
Steal: Elixir
Drops: Princess Ring
Immune To: ---
Weak Against: Lightning, Water
Absorbs: ---
Strategy: Air Force is hard, and it doesn't help that it has counterparts
Missile Bay and Laser Gun which have 3300 HP to help it. Thunder Magic/Weapons
is the way to go. It's important that you use multi-target attacks because
Missle Bay and Laser Gun's attacks HURT. Soon the Air Force will launch a Dot
(i can't remember what is called). It's very small to see but it's a yellow dot
above the Air Force to the right. This thing absorbs all magic so thunder magic
and curative magic will be useless. This was where I had trouble. Fortunately,
the Dot only has about 500HP so kill it off and resume tactics.

Boss Fight: Ultima Weapon!!!
============================
HP: 24000
MP: 5000
LVL: 37
Steal: Ribbon, Elixir
Drops: Elixir
Immune To: ---
Weak Against: ---
Absorbs: ---
Strategy: This is the first 5 digit HP boss you face that you have to beat all
by yourself. This boss is HARD!! I died at least 3 times on this boss. Why?
Well, because it using Flare, Flare Star, Meteor, Mind Blast, etc doesn't help.
So I suggest putting everyone in the back row. Have 2 dedicated healers and two
dedicated attackers. Shadow should use Shruiken EVERY turn which will deal
about 1500 damage. Any -ara spells will do good here, especially Cura because
his attacks HURT. Somewhere between 400-800. My characters had about 1000-1100
HP at this point.
ExNexNecis’ Strategy: An alternate strategy to beat Ultima Weapon on the
Floating Continent is simply to Rasp/Osmose away his mana. He likes to use big
spells so he helps you out. When all his mana is expended, he automatically
dies, regardless of his HP. A lot of magical bosses/monsters are like this.
Nelapa can also be killed this way.

Boss Fight: Nelapa
==================
HP: 2800
MP: 280
LVL: 26
Steal: ---
Drops: ---
Immune To: Poison, Wind, Earth, Water
Weak Against: Ice, Lightning, Holy
Absorbs: Fire
Strategy: Don't bother with magic. Why? Because Nelapa has Auto-Reflect, thus
having a constant Reflect going on. Even Dispel won't work. Trust me. If you
really want to hit him with magic, then cast Reflect on one of your party
members and then bounce the magic off that person. But like I said, why bother?
The thing has low HP enough HP as it is, so just take it out with physical
attacks. But do it fast. Nelapa casts Doom on all your party members at the
beginning of the battle.

Boss Fight: Tentacles x4

MP: 800, 600, 700, 500
LVL: 31, 33, 32, 34
Steal: ---
Drops: ---
Strategy: Don't you hate those multiple bosses that all have different
elemental weakness? I do. One of them absorbs fire and one of them absorbs ice.
Use Blizzara every turn to damage everyone. Though, you'll be healing one of
them, it doesn't matter since it has full HP anyway. Until you beat three of
them, pound away the last one with Fire magic. Should be easy.
ExNexNecis’ Tip: I found the easiest way to beat the Tentacles was just to spam
Sabin's fire blitz, it's aoe, powerful, and free. After all but the one who
absorbs it are dead, the last one is fairly easy to beat with magic and Aura
bolt.

Strategy: The Angler Whelk is just a more stronger version of the Whelk at the
beggining of the game. Same deal here. DO NOT attack it's shell, otherwise
you'll got Giga Volt. I attacked the shell by accident because I had a pending
attack, and he retaliated with Magnitude 8, so yeah, equip the Angel Wings
relic on someone. Use all your powerful attacks and stuff to defeat it.

Boss Fight: Dullahan
====================
Location - Darril's Tomb
HP: 23450
MP: 1721
LVL: 37
Steal: Genji Glove, X-Potion
Drops: ---
Immune To: ---
Weak Against: Fire
Absorbs: Ice
Strategy: As you can see from the HP, this will be a lengthy fight. As soon as
the battle starts, Dullahan will cast Lv? Holy. I don't know what the ? is, but
for some reason, my Edgar was the only one affected. If everyone has Cura, this
battle will be a cakewalk. Heal with Cura when HP levels are about 500-600.
Have Celes attack, with the Genji Glove equipped. Have Sabin use Fire Dance,
since it's weak against Fire. Have Edgar use Drill and have Setzer use his
Slots tech. Shouldn't be too hard, if you're quick and you know what you're
doing.
ADDED NOTE: Thanks to 2 commenters on my YouTube video (link below) they told
me the math about the Lv? Holy attack. Basically, it only hits the person if
the characters LVL is divisible by the last digit of your gil. (I think it's
the other way around...) Thanks, guys!!
ExNexNecis’ Tip: Dullahan can be one-shotted by rigging Setzer's slots, there
are a lot of FAQ's that explain how to do this.

Steal: ---
Drops: Force Armour
Immune To: ---
Weak Against: Lightning
Absorbs: Wind
Strategy: This dragon is the hardest of all eight dragons. This dragon is
possible to defeat at Lvl.30. Basically, have everyone learn Cura.
Everyone/anyone should use Cura Very important. And aslo put everyone in the
back row to make the battle a LOT easier. Have Celes and Setzer learn Thundara,
too. With this you can't go wrong. It'll take a few tries. Have Celes use Cura
on the party and have her use Thundara. Have Sabin use Raging Fist. Don't use
Meteor Strike as it will miss. Have Edgar use Drill and have Setzer use Slots
or Thundara. With this, you can't go wrong. Most of his attacks hit all party
members so when you use Cura (which will be pretty much every turn) target
everyone.

Strategy: This whole boss is like a scene. The first time you face him, you
only have Terra. She can't do nothing. Her attacks will do 0 damage. So when
she dies, you party will come to the rescue. The boss is weak against Poison so
use Poison or Bio, for good damage. Use all your powerful attacks. After
knocking off a few thousand HP, he will flee.
When you go to face him again, (provided that you visited Duane in the other
house) do the same thing you did in the last battle. Humbamba will sneeze,
taking out 2 of your party members out of battle. Terra will come in an
unlimited Esper form. Now's the time to for Terra to spam Poison and Bio.

Strategy: The figures in brackets represent the attributes of the undead
version this boss, which shows up after you beat the normal version.
This boss is weak against Fire. Great!! Have Terra use Fira every turn in her
Esper form. Have Celes use Fire or attack. Have Sabin use his Blitzes
(preferably Rising Phoenix). Have Edgar use Drill. Have Gau use his most
powerful Rage and have Setzer use Slots. You should be strong enough to treat 5
digit HP bosses like normal monsters. When he is defeated another one will show
up. This the undead version. The UNDEAD version. Use a Phoenix Down, pronto.

======================
HP: 56000
MP: 9400
LVL: 37
Steal: ---
Drops: ---
Immune To: ---
Weak Against: Fire
Absorbs: Holy, Water
Strategy: This boss will probably take you the most longest time to beat than
any other boss you've faced so far. It took me exactly, 11:04:40 to beat it.
The boss has two forms, the Goddess and the Chadarnook. I've got friends
telling me not to attack the Goddess, but I attack it anyway. The boss has more
HP than the Storm Dragon, so expect this to be a lengthy fight. Exploit its
weakness with Fire. Fira, Rising Phoenix and the like. Use your most powerful
attacks. You should be doing about 1500-2000 each hit, unless you're
underleveled. I had a team of Celes (LVL34), Terra (LVL34), Edgar (LVL33) and
Sabin (LVL33). At times the Goddes and Chadarnook will switch places. I'm not
sure what this means but the Goddes will use an attack on you that will sap you
HP from time to time. Not exactly the best thing. Chadarnook does lighting
attacks and uses Poltergeist which does no damage to your party whatsoever,
apart from the uncanny Sap status. But like I said, keep your Fire attacks
rolling, healing in between, and you'll be fine.
NOTE: When one of your party members is asleep, some sort of cat will sometimes
cure you from that status aliment. Could anyone email me explaining this?
ExNexNecis’ Explanation: For the Chadarnook fight, the reason you aren't
supposed to attack the woman is because even if you do manage to kill her, she
fully regenerates all 56000 HP. It's easier to just defend and focus on curing
her status ailments. The only way to kill her is to damage the demon form, no
damage done to the goddess counts. Also, the cat thing when you wake up from
sleep is just the animation indicating that the effect wore off. Why things
like stop don't have a similar visual clue I don't know, but that's all that
means.

Strategy: I was not prepared for this battle. I just so the dragon thinking it
was something I needed for my objective and it turns out to be a legendary
dragon. I survived though. Enough about me. Huge clue. Ice Dragon. ICE Dragon.
Away with Fira. If you have Terra and you are confident that Terra will not
die, have Terra use Trance and then have use Fira and Cura. Have everyone else
use Fira and attack. Heal regualry. If anyone is frozen, use Fire to cure them
from that status aliment. I never found this out until someone did that out of
their own will. I think the person was confused. Anyway, heal after every Ice
attack this dragon does and have at least 2 people alive if you're going to
survive this fight.

Strategy: First thing to note here: ALL PHYSICAL ATTACKS ARE USELESS. All
physical attacks are useless APART from Sabin's Blitzes, so if you have Sabin,
use his Blitzes. Have everyone else use Fira. This guy's attacks is not so
powerful, but you'll probably need to heal every now and then.

Weak Against: Ice, Water

Strategy: Common sense would tell you that the term "red" indicates fire,
therefore meaning that this dragon is fire type. Note that the dragons are
elemental. This is easier that the first two. Use Blizzara or Blizzaga if you
did extra training. If you have Terra, use Trance and use Blizzard. Other than
that, use your most powerful attacks. Sabin's Raging Fist ignores defence. Red
Dragon likes to use Fira, Firaga, and uses LVL4 Flare, so if any of your
character's level is a multiple of 4, you'll get hit.

Strategy: Reminds me of the The Magus Sisters in Final Fantasy IV. Curlax is at
the top, Laragorn is at the left and Moebius is at the right. Curley has Life
spells, so take him out first. He'e weak against Ice, so Trance Terra and use
Blizzara or Blizzaga. A tranced Blizzaga will take out Curlax for good. Take
out the rest. Laragorn is weak against Fire and Moebius is weak against
nothing, so hit him with physical attacks. I had Celes, Terra and Locke here.

can end this battle in less that a minute. WrexSoul uses Fury to possess your
body The two Soul Saver regenerates immeadiately after you defeat it, so use
Banish until you get rid of the two Soul Savers. Cheap trick, but it works.

Strategy: This boss can be a pain in the ass. Kill the little Erebus and wait
for Hidon to use Grand-somthing (forgot the name). This will knock about 1000
HP of all your party members, so keep healthy. Strago will learn this as one of
his Lores and it will be the best one. This is the only chance you get to learn
it. Use Fira/aga on it big time. Hit with your powerful attacks and it will go
down. Hidon likes to use Poison based attacks, so equip a Star Pendant or
something to protect against that.

Strategy: Holy Dragon is one of the easy guys. It it with powerful magic. You
find this Dragon in the Tower Of Fanatics, and in there, you can only use Magic
and Items. So make sure you go with a party with a good array with Magic. The
dragon likes to cast Holy and Dispel often.

Boss Fight: Magic Master
========================
HP: 50000
MP: 50000
LVL: 68
Steal: Crystal Orb, Elixir
Drops: Megalixir
Immune To: ???
Weak Against: ???
Absorbs: ???
Strategy: Remember No.028? Probably not, but this guy is just like him. Not
only in appearance, but in the fact that The Magic Master changes its weakness
every time it's hit. So use non-elemental attacks, like Ultima and the like.
Make sure you have at least two people with the Ultima spell, and have one of
those two have the Soul of Thamasa relic equipped. When in battle, DualCast
(with Soul of Thamasa) Ultima over and over. Have someone with the Re-Raise
spell. When you run out of MP, use Osmose. This guy has got plenty of MP for
everyone. Have every one equipped with a Reflect Ring. Do not be fooled. Bio
and Holy are considered, elementals. DO NOT USE QUAKE OR TORNADO. Use these and
you'll end up hurting/killing yourself. Now here's the hard part, try to cast
Re-Raise on everyone, it doesn't matter if you can only cast it on one person
during the battle. Just cast it on someone. Re-Raise works like Auto-Life. It
automatically, brings the person back after they die. Without Re-Raise, you wil
NOT win. When the bosses loses, it does the same thing as Catoblepas in Final
Fantasy X and Trance Kuja in Final Fantasy IX; it casts Ultima as a death
treat. Not good. But that's why we have ReRaise. You see, without ReRaise, you
WILL NOT SURVIVE. Unless your HP levels are over 6000. You can learn ReRaise
from the Phoenix Esper, which you can get from the Phoenix Cave.
ExNexNecis’ Tip: Magic Master's final attack can also be avoided if you watch
his life carefully and have someone jump away at the right time, and I'm fairly
certain that he can die from having his MP drained which has the added bonus of
preventing him from using Ultima.

Strategy: Master Tonberry can be quite hard, but for me, who had just finished
the Cultrist's Tower, I took this guy on really well. Like most Tonberries,
this one counter attacks with Traveller. I don't know the math on this attack
but it dealt about 1300 to 2 of my party members. Attack with your most
powerfull attacks. I was doing about 2000-8000 damage. DualCast Ultima, use
Phantom Rush (if you learned it from Duncan's House), heal reguarly, and use
some defensive magic such as Protect.

Strategy: It's a bit like fighting Leviathan, but easier. This dragon casts

Use Thundaga or Thundara. Your party should have the best array of magic by
now, like all the -aga spells, Quake, Tornado, Ultima and stuff.

Strategy: This is the easiest optional boss fight in the World of Ruin, in my
opinion. This boss likes to use elemental attacks, that will do about 200-500
damage to all your party members. You probably have about 3000 HP by now so
start spamming your strong magic and attacks. Use Phantom Rush if you have
Sabin. Use Bio, since it's his weakness. After the battle, you'll get the
Master's Scroll relic. Equip this relic with the Genji Glove and you'll do
EIGHT hits in one turn!!!

Immune To: ---
Weak Against: Wind, Water

Strategy: It's important to cast Float on all your party members before the
battle, to have the advantage. This guy likes to cast Magnitude 8, and Quake.
Quake is bad. Very bad, if you are not ready for it, it'll probably kill you
outright. But you have Float right? The Earth Dragon sometimes casts 50Gs which
is basically Dispel, bringing you back to the ground. So cast Float again.
Luckily, Float can be multicasted. The monster is quite strong in terms of
physical strength, so keep someone in mind for Curaga. Ultima is great. Razor
Gale is a good Blitz to use, as well as Phantom Rush. If you don't get Phantom
Rush from Duncan's House, Sabin will have to be at Level 70 to learn it.

Strategy: This boss is hard, due to the fact that it's quick amd powerful.
Never a good combination for a boss. Even though, it's a water esper, it is not
weak against Lightning. So use all your powerful magic. Ultima, Flare, Meteor
and stuff. And do it fast. You should a couple of thousand of HP on your party
members. Leviathan likes to cast Tsunami and El Nino in succession which both
do about 1500 to your party members.

Steal: ---
Drops: Bahamut magicite

Weak Against: Fire, Holy

Strategy: DeathGaze is a random enounter boss. Whilst flying around on the
airship you'll meet DeathGaze. The chances of encountering him are very slim.
After knocking him off a few 10,000 HP, he'll flee, and he'll move to a random
spot/tile on the world map. The great thing is, the HP left is carried over to
the next time you meet him. I encountered him three times, and I defeated it on
the third.
DeathGaze likes to cast Lvl5 Death at the start of the battle, so if your level
ends in 0 or 5 then you're dead. Use your strong attacks, and stuff. Use Holy
or Fira/aga if you have it. He can cast Death too. Physical atacks do something
near 700.

Absorbs: Poison, Wind, Holy, Earth, Water
Strategy: If you want to hit him with magic, don't use the above. Use non-
elemental magic. Me here, I didn't pay much attention to the characters in my
parties. I decided to put my strongest members (Terra, Celes, Locke, Sabin) in
one team, my second strongest members (Edgar, Gogo, Umaro, Cyan). and my
weakest members (Mog, Setzer, Shadow, Setzer) in one team.
I came to this boss battle, with my second team, and none of them had Ultima.
Only Edgar had the 3 ara spells and that was just about it. I also came to
Kefka's tower with no Phoenix Downs, and Only Edgar had Raise. I was really
badly prepareed, but I still won.
If some one in your team has Float, cast it on all your party members before or
during battle. Quake is not something you want to be caught by. Also equip
Force Armour/Shields to help protect you against his magic attacks.
NOTE from ExNexNecis: Ultima Buster can be defeated by draining his MP.

you have it. Or if you have beaten Leviathan, summon Leviathan or use Flood,
learnt from the Leviathan. You'll be hit with Thunder/Thundara/Thundaga and
GigaVolt. Use poweful attacks and stuff. You'll be using your second party for

Strategy: You'll be using your third party for this fight. For me, this was my

This guy likes to cast lightning magic. But then again, he's weak against it?
Exploit his weakness. Use Thundaga.
Remember No.128. Probably not. It looks just like it. Inferno has a left
(8000hp) and right (11000hp) arm. If all of them are there, they can perform
the Delta Attack, just like the three stooges. The trick is to use multi-target
attacks. Use a powerful attack, and have Gogo Mimic it. It's attacls are
powerful, so heal regularly.

Strategy: I'm not sure what element this dragon is. I thought it was an undead

absorbs it. Anyway, this thing has pretty high defence. I was using my weakest
team here. And I was only dealing about 300 damage. Damn. I beat it quicker
than I thought, though. Skull Dragon can cast Doom, so have Arise, Raise or a
Phoenix Down ready. It can also cast Will 'o' the Wisp as well as Disaster. Not
sure what that does, since that missed me.
NOTE from ExNexNecis: Skull Dragon's Disaster is a one hit kill move, but
rarely hits.

Boss Fight: Guardian
====================
HP: 60000
MP: 5200
LVL: 67
Steal: Ribbon, Force Armour
Drops: ---
Immune To: ---
Weak Against: Lightning, Water
Absorbs: ---
Strategy: If I'm not mistaken, this boss has the highest HP in the game so far.
At the start of the battle, it will go into its DBP (Default Battle Program).
This is where he will start using those annoying laser attacks you've seen
before. The boss is strong so keep a healer ready with Cura/Curaga. Sooner or
later it will shift into UBP (Ultros Battle Program). So it will start fighting
like Ultros.

Boss Fight: Demon
=================
HP: 58000
MP: 18900
LVL: 67
Steal: Red Jacket
Drops: Radiant Lance
Immune To: ---
Weak Against: Poison
Absorbs: Fire, Wind
Strategy: The first of the four goddesses who will face on your way to Kefka. I
didn't enjoy this boss at all. He was pretty easy for me. But I didn't. I was
to busy choosing my commands that I didn't catch the name of the attack that
does 2500 damage to your party member. This boss sometimes counters with
Firaga. Use your powerful magic. Note that either party 2 or 3 will be facing
this boss, so if your strongest party members are in Party 1 then you might
have some trouble. If that's not the case, then by all means, use your strong
magic. You'll probably be relying on your strong magic, if you've been to the
Cultrist's Tower. If not, well...give it all you got...and...uh...well...hope
for the best!

Final Boss Fight - Phase 1
==========================
Visage
------
HP: 30000
MP: 10000
LVL: 74
Steal: Elixir
Drops: ---
Immune To: Earth
Weak Against: Poison
Absorbs: ---
Short Arm: 27000HP
Long Arm: 33000HP
Strategy: Okay! Here we are, the final Showdown!! The final boss has four
phases. You have to assemble your party members in the order they fight. If any
of your party members are dead after one battle, they will be replaced by the
next person in line. Same as always, if everybody dies, in a battle, it's GAME
OVER!!
The first phase is the hardest of the four, in my opinion. His arms are quite
strong. I'd say, use Ultima, use Phantom Rush, have Gogo mimic a a great move
and cura regualry.

Final Boss Fight - Phase 2
==========================
Tiger: 30000HP - 10000MP
Machine: 24000HP - 10000MP
Magic: 41000HP - 10000 MP
Power: 28000HP - 10000 MP
Steal: Elixir
Drops: ---
Strategy: Second phase, my friend!! This one has 4 parts. Don't use Earth magic
since the Tiger will absorb it. Use non-elemental magic to keep on the safe
side. At one point it'll use 10-Hit Combo. This hits all your party member
randomly ten times. These are really not that powerful but if you are not
healthy by the time this happens, you'll have problems.

Final Boss Fight - Phase 3
==========================
Lady
----
HP: 9999
MP: 10000
LVL: 58
Steal: Ragnarok
Drops: ---
Rest
----
HP: 40000
MP: 10000
LVL: 71
Steal: Ultima Weapon
Drops: ---
Strategy: Phase 3!! Almost there!! You're doing great!! These two are easy. And
you better hope you have Locke in your party. You can steal the 2 best weapons
in the game, here. The Ragnarok and the Ultima Weapon. The Lady absorbs
everything, so non-elemental attacks are the way to go, here. Thier attacks are
quite strong. It can cast White Wind. This will restore 9999hp to both parts.
Not good. As it dies, it will use an attack that will kill one of your party
members, so you will not be able to bring that person back to life and
therefore will be changed for the next battle. And you better hope that someone
special or important doesn't get hit by that attack.

Final Boss Fight - Phase Four - KEFKA!!!
========================================
Strategy: According to the Bestiary all his attributes are marked as ???, so
I'll go straight to the strategy. Like I said, you better hope that a good
character is NOT wiped out otherwise you might have some problems.
Kefka is easy. You might find him a tad of trouble but there has been tougher
enemies. Watch out for an attack where it will look like a couple of angels
will bring you to life or something. They won't. In fact they will reduce all
your party's HP to 1. So keep a healer ready. There is also an attack (i didn't
look at the name) that takes very long and has scenes with flashing images.
Trust me. I couldn't see what I was doing. Anyway, it takes off quite a LOT of
HP. So be prepared.
You know the deal, Ultima, Flare, and the like. Keeping healed. At one point
the battle will tense. The screen will start to shake and the scren will
redden. This is the sign that you've almost beaten him.
NOTE from ExNexNecis: Kefka's take-your-party-to-one-HP attack is called Fallen
One.
Once you beat him, you get treated to a nice and long ending.
