Allo Ver

HP: 8000 MP: 8000

Weakness: fire, pearl

VANISH/DOOM: Yes. (X-Zone only) The only hard part about this creature is that he can use

HP: 19000 MP: 1600

Weakness: fire, poison

2nd one

use Chainsaw, Setzer use Slot/GP Rain, Celes attack, Sabin attack, and Cyan use SwdTech 1 or

4. After defeating the 1st one, a second one will attack from behind. Defeat this one the same

Chadarnook

Woman

HP: 56000 MP: 9400

Demon

HP: 30000 MP: 7600

Weakness: fire,pearl

spells or their best attacks.

Phunbaba:The Return

HP: 26000 MP: 10000

Sabin Suplex, Celes Runic, Cyan use SwdTech 1 or 4, Gau ????, Shadow throw Shuriken, and Setzer attack or Slot/GP Rain. After a while, it'll use BabaBreath to blow a couple of your

characters away. Terra will join you to finish it off. (After Terra joins, Phunbaba's hps and mps

reset). Have Terra attack.

Doom Gaze

HP: 55555 MP: 38000

Weakness: fire, pearl

VANISH/DOOM: Yes. (DON'T use X-Zone or you won't get Bahamut) Whenever you happen to

run into it, just beat the hell out of it with your best attacks. Use life spells and Fenix Down to

bring back dead companions if you feel like it. It'll run from you rather quickly but it can't

regenerate itself between fights, so next time you fight it it'll have the same amount of HP as it

did when it ran. Eventually you'll kill it. Killing it will get you the Esper Bahamut.

Red Dragon

HP: 30000 MP: 1780

Weakness: ice, water

VANISH/DOOM: Yes. Use Ice spells if you have them. Have Terra attack, Edgar use Drill or

Chainsaw, Sabin attack, Celes attack or Runic, Cyan use SwdTech 1 or 4, Gau ????, Setzer

attack or Slot/GP Rain, Strago use the Aqua Rake lore, and Relm attack.

Ice Dragon

HP: 24400 MP: 9000

Weakness: fire

VANISH/DOOM: Yes. Use fire spells or if you don't have them use your best attacks.

Tritoch

HP: 30000 MP: 50000

Weakness: fire

VANISH/DOOM: Yes. Use fire spells or best attacks to thaw it out.

Umaro

HP: 17200 MP: 6990

Weakness: fire, poison

VANISH/DOOM: No. Use fire spells or best attacks. Don't use Tritoch, Shiva, or Ice spells

because it'll heal him.

White Dragon

HP: 18500 MP: 1200

Weakness: none

VANISH/DOOM: Yes. Use Ultima and Flare if you have them. Have Gogo Mimic or cast spells,

and everyone else use their most powerful spells and Espers.

MagiMaster

HP: 50000 MP: 50000

Weakness: varies

VANISH/DOOM: No.

METHOD 1: Don't bother using elemental spells (fire,ice,bolt,etc) because the MagiMaster

constantly changes what spells heal and hurt him. Using Beserk on him stops him from doing

this. Instead use spells like Ultima and Flare, plus Espers like Bahamut and Maduin. Also make

ABSOLUTELY SURE AT LEAST ONE CHARACTER HAS LIFE 3 ON THEM because when MagiMaster dies he casts Ultima on your party and unless you have a helluva lot of hps, your

toast.

METHOD 2: Cast Beserk on him and use the Phantom Esper on your party. Now continually

cast Rasp on him (or Osmose if your MPS get really low). When his 50000 mps are gone he'll try

to cast Ultima but since he has no mps he'll fail and die. NOTE: It takes a long time to beat him

this way but once you cast Bserk on him and used Phantom on you, he can't hurt you at all.

METHOD 3: Equip everyone with Wall Rings and let MagiMaster kill himself. You still need

Life3 or a lot of HPS with this method. METHOD 4: Cast Bserk on him, then use the Phantom Esper on your party as in METHOD 2. Now keep scanning him as you attack. When his HPS

reach a few thousand use the Palidor Esper. Hopefully, the first character down will kil him.

He'll cast Ultima which'll kill the one character, but the ones in the air will live.

The Dream 3 Stooges

Left/ Larry

HP: 10000 MP: 2000

Weakness: fire

Top/ Curley

HP: 15000 MP: 2000

Weakness: ice, water

Right/ Moe

HP: 12000 MP: 2000

Weakness: none

VANISH/DOOM: Yes. (all three of them) Use Ultima and Bahamut if you have them. If not just

use your best attacks and spells, taking note what spells heal which stooge.

WrexSoul

HP: 23066 MP: 5066

Weakness: Ice

VANISH/DOOM: No. For a quick battle use X-Zone (it'll suck in the SoulSavers and you'll win

the fight). If you don't have X-Zone then don't worry about the SoulSavers. You first have to

attack one of your characters until they die. This will cause WrexSoul to appear in a form you

can kill. Once he has appeared bring your dead character back to life and then use Ultima, Bahamut, and Ice spells, or your best attacks. If he disappears, repeat the process only kill a

different character this time.

Master Pug

HP: 22000 MP: 1200

Weakness: varies

VANISH/DOOM: Yes. Use Ultima, Flare, and Bahamut. Have Edgar use Drill or Chainsaw,

Sabin use Bum Rush, Celes use Runic, Cyan use SwdTech 7, Gau ????, Setzer attack or Slot/GP

Rain, and everyone else attack.

Blue Dragon

HP: 26900 MP: 3800

Weakness: lightning

VANISH/DOOM: Yes. Use your best spells (Ultima, Meteor, Flare, etc), your best Espers (Bahamut, etc.), and attacks (Sabin's Bum Rush, Edgar's Drill, etc.). Don't cast Doom (without

Vanish first, break, or Haste/Slow spells because it'll use Rippler to make the spells affect you

instead.

KatanaSoul

HP: 37620 MP: 7400

Weakness: poison

VANISH/DOOM: Yes. Use Ultima for major damage. Otherwise use your best attacks (Espers,

spells, regular, and special).

Hidon

HP: 25000 MP: 12500

Weakness: fire,pearl,earth

VANISH/DOOM: Yes. (X-Zone only) The easiest way to kill Hidon is to bring it to life (i.e. use a

life spell, revivify, etc.). If you don't want to do that then use Pearl on Hidon if you have it. Don't

worry about the Hidonites. Also use Ultima, Meteor, Flare, Bahamut, Terrato, etc. plus special

attacks.

Dirt Drgn

HP: 28500 MP: 16500

Weakness: wind, water

VANISH/DOOM: Yes. If you have some sort of Gaia equipment on a lot of the dragon's spells

will heal you. Ultima works quite will. Use it if you have it, if not use your other more powerful

attacks. Casting Float on your party will also be a big help.

Atma

HP: 55000 MP: 19000

Weakness: none

VANISH/DOOM: Yes. Ultima works quite well. Use it along with the best attacks of the

members of your party. Another way to do it is to try depleting its MPS by using spells like rasp

(it'll die when its MPS are drained completely).

Gold Dragon

HP: 32400 MP: 4000

Weakness: water

VANISH/DOOM: Yes. Don't use lightning based spells (Bolt, Ramuh, etc.). DO use Ultima, Bahamut, Flare, Meteor, etc. Using your best attacks should be safe as long as they don't involve

lightning.

Inferno & Company

Rough

HP: 8000 MP: 770

Weakness: ice

Inferno

HP: 30800 MP: 9700

Weakness: lightning

Striker

HP: 11000 MP: 2600

Weakness: fire

VANISH/DOOM: no Striker is the claw on the right and Rough is the left one. Don't worry about

the claws, concentrate on Inferno. If you use Ultima, Meteor, Bahamut, or some other spell/Esper that attacks all enemies then you don't have to worry about anything. Use your best

attacks.

Skull Drgn

HP: 32800 MP: 1999

Weakness: fire, pearl

VANISH/DOOM: Yes. Use fire spells and pearl as the basis of your attack. Ultima, Flare, Bahamut, etc. work good too. Cure 3 also works good.

Doom

HP: 63000 MP: 4800

Weakness: pearl

VANISH/DOOM: Yes. Use Ultima for major damage. Also use your other major attacks. Once he

uses his force field don't use spells that'll bounce off a wall (elementals, flare, etc.).

Goddess

HP: 44000 MP: 19000

Weakness: none

VANISH/DOOM: Yes. Use your more powerful spells (Ultima, Meteor, etc.) and attacks (Sabin's

Bum Rush, etc.)

Guardian

HP: 60000 MP: 5200

Weakness: lightning, water

VANISH/DOOM: no Use lightning spells along with your best attacks (spells or otherwise). If

you have Sabin have him do the Bum Rush blitz for some good damage.

Poltrgeist

HP: 58000 MP: 18900

Weakness: poison

VANISH/DOOM: No. Again, use your best attacks (Ultima, Flare, Bum Rush, etc). Ice 3 seems to

work pretty good, too. ght values)

Head

HP: 30000 MP: ????

Weakness: ????

Left Hand

HP: 27000 MP: ????

Weakness: ????

Right Hand

HP: 32000 MP: ????

Weakness: ????

VANISH/DOOM: No. Here you have to destroy the creatures head and both hands. Use your best

attacks and it'll go down in no time. The best way to do it is have 3 characters attack (Ultima

works good) and the 4th one heal.

Lvl 2 (approximate HP values)

Left

HP: 40000 MP: ????

Weakness: ????

Middle

HP: 24000 MP: ????

Weakness: ????

Top Right

HP: 27000 MP: ????

Weakness: ????

Bottom Right

HP: 30000 MP: ????

Weakness: ????

VANISH/DOOM: No. There are 4 things to attack here. The same strategy as above should work.

Final Fight Lvl 3 (approximate values for hps)

Left

HP: 10000 MP: ????

Weakness: ????

Right

HP: 40000 MP: ????

Weakness: ????

VANISH/DOOM: No. Only two things to attack here. If you choose to use attacks that only hit a single target, concentrate

them on the angel head because it'll cure both targets. When you get the Angel head low on hp it'll start using

major damage attacks like Merton. Be prepared to cure yourself.

Kefka: The End

HP: 62000 MP: ????

Weakness: ????

VANISH/DOOM: No. Be ready to cure when he uses Fallen One (which reduces all your characters to 1 hp). Even

regular/special attacks work pretty good on him (that's all I used and the fight went pretty quick). Make this fight go even

quicker by using the Quick spell. Another tactic that makes the fight go quicker is to equip everyone with Flame Shlds and

use Merton.
