===============================================================================
XIII. BOSSES
===============================================================================

Thanks to the Brady Games Final Fantasy Chronicles Official Strategy Guide 
for some of these boss statistics.

Antlion
 HIT POINTS: 1100
 EXPERIENCE: 1500
 GIL: 800
 WEAKNESS: Chocobo
 STRATEGY: This is a lot easier than you would expect, just have Cecil attack 
regularly.  Have Edward use Heal or individual Potions each round.  Rydia 
should summon Chocobo each round.  Watch out, this boss counters a random 
target each time it's hit physically.

Asura
 HIT POINTS: 31005
 EXPERIENCE: 20000
 GIL: --
 WEAKNESS: Reflect
 STRATEGY: Have Rosa cast wall on her so that all of her healing spells 
reflect onto the party.  Kain, Cecil, and Edge should use their best 
physical attacks.  Rosa may need to heal occasionally, even with the 
constant bombardment of healing spells from Asura.  Ryida should give Asura a
taste of her own medicine by casting Titan every round.

Bahamut
 HIT POINTS: 45001
 EXPERIENCE: 35000
 GIL: --
 WEAKNESS: Reflect
 STRATEGY: Immediately start using Lunar Curtains and Light Curtains.  Have 
Rosa and FuSoYa cast wall on themselves.  This will cause Bahamut's Mega Flare
attack to bounce off your characters and hit himself.  In the meantime, have 
Cecil attack with Excalibur, Edge throw, and Rydia summon Leviathan.  Rosa 
and FuSoYa should concentrate all their efforts on casting wall.

Baigan
 HIT POINTS: 4444
 EXPERIENCE: 3000
 GIL: 4800
 WEAKNESS: --
 STRATEGY: Cecil and Yang should target the body.  The twins should use Twin 
magic, and Tellah should constantly cast Cura and Curaga in order to keep the
party healthy.  Stop casting spells on the boss when it casts Reflect.

Barbariccia
 HIT POINTS: 8636
 EXPERIENCE: 9000
 GIL: 5500
 WEAKNESS: Jump
 STRATEGY: Kain needs to jump every turn to eliminate the shield around 
Barbariccia.  Yang should use the power command, and Cid and Cecil should 
constantly attack physically.  When low on HP, Rosa should heal the party.

Barnabas
 HIT POINTS: 9321
 EXPERIENCE: 10100
 GIL: 4000
 WEAKNESS: --
 STRATEGY: Rydia should summon Titan every round.  Rosa should heal, while 
Yang, Cecil, and Kain use their best attacks.  Don't worry about curing the 
Poison spell, Barnabas will do that for you.

Cagnazzo
 HIT POINTS: 5312
 EXPERIENCE: 5500
 GIL: 4000
 WEAKNESS: Thunder
 STRATEGY: Have Porom or Tellah cast Berserk on Cecil near the beginning of 
the battle to increase his attack power.  Yang should have a Thunder Claw 
equipped and should use Power every round.  Palom and Tellah should constantly
use Thundara or Thundaga to disintegrate Cagnazzo's dangerous water shield.

Calcobrena
 HIT POINTS: Calco: 1369, Brina: 369, Calcobrena: 5315
 EXPERIENCE: 9440
 GIL: 7500
 WEAKNESS: --
 STRATEGY: Kill the Brinas first, then concentrate on the Cals.  The dolls 
will combine to make a large Calcobrena, use your best attacks on this 
beast.  Watch out for this doll's confuse attacks, they can be deadly if cast 
on a powerful character.  It's best to cast Berserk on Cecil and have yang use
Power every round.  Kain should Jump and Rosa should Aim and heal when needed.

CPU
 HIT POINTS: 30000
 EXPERIENCE: 50000
 GIL: 10333
 WEAKNESS: --
 STRATEGY: To prevent CPU from killing party members immediately, refrain 
from killing the Attacker orb.  Go ahead and kill the Defender.  Don't use 
any spell or attack that targets multiple enemies.  In fact, you should 
refrain from using any offensive spells in this battle, since CPU will 
immediately, and constantly, put up a Reflect spell.  Have Rydia summon 
Asura, and have Rosa and FuSoYa heal the party.  Edge and Cecil are going 
to be doing most of the offensive work, so have them hit hard and fast.

Dark Bahamut (Party = Kain, Cecil, Edge, Rosa, Rydia)
 HIT POINTS: 60000
 EXPERIENCE: 64000
 GIL: --
 WEAKNESS: --
 STRATEGY: Don't use any summons or magic on this Dragon or it'll counter 
with deadly attacks.  Use pure brute, physical force.  Rosa should cast 
Berserk on Cecil, Kain should jump every round, and Edge should throw Fuma
Shurikens.  Rydia will need to use curative items and Rosa should continually 
cast Curaja.

Dark Elf
 HIT POINTS: 23890
 EXPERIENCE: 7500
 GIL: 5000
 WEAKNESS: --
 STRATEGY: Cecil, Yang, and Cid should attack the boss with all their might.
Tellah should cast high level attack spells.  Someone should be ready to heal
Pig status with Diet Food should the need occur.  After a few rounds, 
Dark Elf will transform into a dragon, attack it quickly and it should die 
off fast.

Death Mech (Party = Cecil, Cid, Rosa, Rydia, Yang)
 HIT POINTS: 50000
 EXPERIENCE: 32000
 GIL: --
 WEAKNESS: --
 STRATEGY: Rydia will be the main source of damage in this battle, as she casts
Bahamut and Flare spells.  Cid can help out by attacking, while Cecil attacks
and acts as back-up healer.  Yang should be able to deal a fair ammount of 
physical damage, while Rosa supports the party with Curaja.

Demon Wall
 HIT POINTS: 28000
 EXPERIENCE: 23000
 GIL: 8000
 WEAKNESS: Leviathan
 STRATEGY: The wall will slowly close in on the party and will slowly kill 
off each character if it gets too close.  Therefore, you must act fast.  
Cast Berserk on Cecil and have Edge throw weapons.  Kain should jump every 
round.  Rosa should keep the party's HP up and Rydia should summon Leviathan, 
or Titan, every round until her MP is diminished.

Dr. Lugae and Barnabas
 HIT POINTS: --
 EXPERIENCE: --
 GIL: --
 WEAKNESS: --
 STRATEGY: Defeat the scientist first, then take out the robot.  This is a 
very easy battle, the real one is yet to come.  Just use basic strategies 
and keep your HP up.

Elements
 HIT POINTS: --
 EXPERIENCE: 62500
 GIL: 10000
 WEAKNESS: Fire, Ice, Thunder, Holy.
 STRATEGY: This battle will be very easy as long as you know which element is
weak against what.  Have your characters use spells according to these 
weaknesses:  Rubicant=Ice, Cagnazzo=Thunder, Barbariccia=Holy, and 
Scarmiglione=Fire. Rydia and FuSoYa should use their highest elemental 
spells.  Edge should also use his elemental spells.  Cecil should attack 
normally and Rosa should concentrate on using her best spells.

General
 HIT POINTS: 221
 EXPERIENCE: 869
 GIL: 242
 WEAKNESS: --
 STRATEGY: Attack the General first for experience, if you attack the Soldiers 
first, he'll run away.  As soon as the General is dead the Soldiers will kill 
themselves one by one.  You can speed the process up by killing them on your 
own.  Should your HP drop, just use a quick Potion.

Gigas Worm (Party = Cecil, Edward, Palom, Porom, Edge)
 HIT POINTS: 55000
 EXPERIENCE: 32000
 GIL: --
 WEAKNESS: --
 STRATEGY: Edward should simply heal during this battle, using the Heal command
or using more potent curative items when necessary.  Cecil should attack 
normally, but should be ready with White Magic when the hard-hitting worm 
strikes.  Porom is best used as a constant healer in this battle.  Palom can 
sit back and nuke the worm with high tier Black Magic.  Edge should go all out
with Nijutsu and regular attacks.

Golbez
 HIT POINTS: --
 EXPERIENCE: 15000
 GIL: 11000
 WEAKNESS: Fire, Holy
 STRATEGY: At first, Golbez will quickly kill everyone.  Rydia will show up 
and use Dragon.  Hurry and revive everyone, once they're all back to life, 
pummel Golbez hard with summons and strong physical attacks.

Leviathan
 HIT POINTS: 50001
 EXPERIENCE: 28000
 GIL: --
 WEAKNESS: Thunder, Titan
 STRATEGY: This battle is going to take a long time, so sit back and get used 
to the different attack combinations that you'll have to use, over and over 
again. This is where Ethers really come in handy.  Rosa should constantly 
cast Curaga to help nullify the Tsunami attack.  Use a Bacchus's Cider on 
Cecil, if  you have one, and let him attack wildly.  Edge should throw 
Shurikens and any excess weapons.  Kain's jumping may or may not save him 
from Leviathan's Tsunami, but it's still the best use of his turns.  Titan 
and Thundaga are more effective than Ramuh, so use Rydia's spells wisely, and
use an Ether if her or Rosa's MP gets too low.

Lunasaurs (Party = Kain, Cecil, Edge, Rosa, Rydia)
 HIT POINTS: 29000
 EXPERIENCE: 59000
 GIL: --
 WEAKNESS: Holy
 STRATEGY: As long as Cecil is equipped with the Ragnarok, this battle should
be a breeze, it'll deal 9999 damage with every hit.  Even though these 
bosses are weak against Holy, don't use it, or any other black or summon 
magic for that matter, or else they'll counter with horrific status ailment 
spells.  Edge and Kain should attack physically and Rosa and Rydia should 
concentrate on healing the party.

Master Flan (Party = Cecil, Edward, Palom, Porom, Edge)
 HIT POINTS: 35000
 EXPERIENCE: 32000
 GIL: --
 WEAKNESS: --
 STRATEGY: In this battle you'll want to rely more on physical damage, since 
the boss will reflect most spells.  Cecil, Edge, and Edward can attack should
constantly attack the main boss, while Palom concentrates on taking out the 
Flans with spells, while Porom heals and casts support spells such as Berserk
and Haste.

Mindy, Sandy, Cindy
 HIT POINTS: Mindy: 2590, Sandy: 2591, Cindy: 4599
 EXPERIENCE: 7500
 GIL: 9000
 WEAKNESS: --
 STRATEGY: Kill the fat one first to prevent her from reviving her sisters.  
Tellah will need to cast reflect on the party and reflect his spells off of 
them.  Cecil, Yang, and Cid should concentrate their physical attacks on 
one sister at a time.

Mist Dragon
 HIT POINTS: 465
 EXPERIENCE: 700
 GIL: 200
 WEAKNESS: --
 STRATEGY: Have Cecil attack normally, Kain has time to jump two times before 
the dragon turns to mist.  When it does turn to mist, don't attack it, you'll 
always miss and it will retaliate with a powerful attack. Just Defend until it
returns to its original form and then continue the attack cycle.

Mom Bomb
 HIT POINTS: 11000
 EXPERIENCE: 2416
 GIL: 543
 WEAKNESS: --
 STRATEGY: Quickly begin attacking the boss.  Have Cecil attack it physically.
Edward should constantly use Heal, while Rosa uses Cura on individual 
characters.  Rydia should summon Chocobo and Yang should use the Power 
command.  When, and if, it turns into smaller bombs, defeat them as fast as 
possible before they detonate.

Octomammoth
 HIT POINTS: 2350
 EXPERIENCE: 1200
 GIL: 500
 WEAKNESS: Thunder, Chocobo
 STRATEGY: Have Tellah use Thunder, Rydia summon Chocobo, and Cecil attack 
physically.  The tentacles will die one by one until the octopus itself is 
finally destroyed.  This boss is slow to attack, so you won't need to heal 
very often, but when you do, have Tellah use Cura on the entire party or 
Rydia use Cure on single targets.

Odin
 HIT POINTS: 20001
 EXPERIENCE: 18000
 GIL: --
 WEAKNESS: --
 STRATEGY: You only have a few rounds to defeat this boss.  As soon as he 
pulls back his sword, he's getting ready to kill off the entire party.  Act 
fast!  Cast Berserk on Cecil and have Edge throw any excess weapons.  Rydia 
should summon Bahamut and Rosa should cast Haste on the fighters.  If you 
time it right, Kain can actually survive the sword swoop if he's in the air 
while Odin uses it.

Ogopogo (Party = Kain, Cecil, Edge, Rosa, Rydia)
 HIT POINTS: 50000
 EXPERIENCE: 61000
 GIL: --
 WEAKNESS: Bahamut
 STRATEGY: This battle isn't too hard, but Ogopogo can hit pretty hard, so 
cast support spells and keep your HP up.  Have Edge throw Fumas, while Cecil 
attacks physically and Kain jumps.  Rydia should summon Bahamut every round 
and Rosa should cast Curaja on the party as often as possible.

Plague (Party = Kain, Cecil, Edge, Rosa, Rydia)
 HIT POINTS: 33333
 EXPERIENCE: 31108
 GIL: 550
 WEAKNESS: --
 STRATEGY: As soon as the battle starts the Plague will cast doom on the 
entire party, you'll have a count down from 5, after that you're dead.  It 
would be a very good idea to have Kain jump and Rosa shoot arrows at this 
boss, they are very effective against it.  Edge should throw darts, Rydia 
should summon Bahamut and Cecil should attack physically.  If there was 
ever a battle to act fast in, it's this one!  If you're lucky, the Plague 
will re-cast Doom, starting the count down over.

Rubicant
 HIT POINTS: 34000
 EXPERIENCE: 18000
 GIL: 7000
 WEAKNESS: Ice, Flood, Shiva
 STRATEGY: It is essential that you use Ice attacks to win this battle, but 
it is also necessary to time those attacks, otherwise, they will only help 
him win.  If he is in his cloak, don't use any Ice or Flood attacks, they'll 
heal him.  Wait till he opens his cloak and thrash him with Rydia's Shiva 
and Edge's Flood.  Have Cecil and Kain attack physically, while Rosa heals 
the party.

Scarmiglione
 HIT POINTS: 3500
 EXPERIENCE: 2800
 GIL: 850
 WEAKNESS: Fire
 STRATEGY: Have Palom and Porom constantly use Twin magic, unless Porom needs
to heal.  Cecil should attack the Ghasts and then Scarmiglione, when they're 
defeated.  Tellah should concentrate on healing, using Hi-Potions and Cura 
every round.

Scarmiglione (2nd Form).
 HIT POINTS: 3523
 EXPERIENCE: 3600
 GIL: 2500
 WEAKNESS: Fire, Holy
 STRATEGY: Immediately switch rows.  Tellah should be ready with Esuna to 
block out Scarmiglione's constant status attack.  Cecil should attack 
physically and the twins should try to pull off Twin magic as much as possible.
If the party is in serious need, Porom can stop using Twin magic for a while 
and use Cura.
