    FlameEater 8400 480 Ice No Use Shiva or Maduin if you have them equipped. Also use Ice Rods and/or Ice spells if you have them. Have Locke and Terra attack, and Strago us his Aqua Rake lore.
    Ultros part 3 22000 750 Fire, Lightning Yes Use your attacking Espers and any attack spells you might have (except water-based attacks like Bismark; Ice spells are ok though), otherwise just attack. When he gets weak Relm will join your party. Have he Sketch and you'll win.
    Ultros 17000 Fire, Lightning Yes Use your most powerful Fire and Bolt spells (fire 2 gets a lot of damage) on Ultros. Take out Ultros first and then go for Chupon. Fire spell heal Chupon so don't use them anymore, use Ice spells instead. If you don't have any or have run out of mps do the following: Have Mog dance Wind Song, Cyan use SwdTech 1 or 4, Strago use Aqua Rake, Edgar use Chainsaw, Gau ????, Relm attack or Sketch, Sabin Pummel, Setzer use slot, and the rest attack. When you win Chupon will Sneeze your party away.
    Chupon 10000 4000 Ice, Water
    Air Force 8000 750 Lightning, Water No Concentrate on the main thing. If it launches a Speck, attack it (don't use spells). Just use your most powerful attack spells (Ice, Fire, and Bolt), your attack Espers Maduin, Shiva, Ramuh, etc.), or if neither of those options are possible use your best attacks (Sabin's AuraBolt, Edgar's Drill, etc.).
    Gigantos 6000 1120 Poison Yes This dude hits hard so have one person use Cure 2 all the time. Have Shadow throw shuriken and have Edgar use Drill, Sabin AuraBolt, Cyan use SwdTech 1 or 4, Gau ????, Setzer use Slot/GP Rain, Mog do the Earth Blues Dance, Relm Sketch, and the rest attack. Also use your most powerful attack spells and Espers. Also it may be a good idea to use the Phantom Esper the first thing (this will make you harder to hit for a little while).
    AtmaWeapon 24000 5000 None Yes Use your most powerful attacks: Fire, Ice, and Bolt spells; attack Espers; regular attacks; and special attacks (Sabin's AuraBolt, Edgar's Drill, Mog's Earth Blues dance, Shadow's Shuriken throwing, etc.). It shoud be dead in no time. Cure as needed of course. Another method to use would be to drain it's mps using Rasp (it'll die when it's mps are gone).
    Nerapa 2800 280 Ice, Lightning, Pearl No He has a wall spell on him so attack spells will just bounce back. If you have a wall spell on one of your characters, cast the attack spells on them. Use your most powerful Espers and attacks.
    Phunbaba 28000 10000 Poison Yes Don't use lightning attacks (Bolt spells, Ramuh, etc.), it heals him. Use Phantom Esper to make you invisible and Sraphim to cure if needed. Have Celes use spells and have Sabin use the Suplex blitz. He'll run away when his hps get low.
    Top Left Tentacle 4000 500 None No Don't use Ice spells on the bottom left tentacle or fire spells on the bottom right one or bolt spells on the top left one. Have Edgar use Drill, Celes attack, and Sabin attack the bottom right one and then use Fire Dance when it's dead. If you have attack Espers use them. Also use spells that correspond to the weakness of a tentacle (example: use fire on the bottom left one).
    Bot Left Tentacle 6000 700 Fire
    Top Right Tentacle 5000 600 None
    Bot Right Tentacle 7000 800 Ice, Water
    Presenter 9845 1600 Fire Yes (on the shell only) Have Celes attack, Sabin AuraBolt, Setzer attack or Slot/GP Rain, and Edgar use Chainsaw or Drill. Also use Fire spells if you have them. Just cast Doom on the head to make it a quick fight.
    Dullahan 23450 1721 Fire Yes Use fire spells and the Esper Ifrit if you have it equipped. Have Celes Runic, Sabin Suplex, Setzer attack or Slot/GP Rain, and Edgar use Chainsaw or Drill.
    Storm Drgn 42000 1250 Lightning Yes Use Ramuh and Bolt spells. If a person doesn't have bolt spells have them use there best attacks. If you went back and added Cyan to your party, have him do either SwdTech 1 or 4. Also cure whenever needed.
    Allo Ver 8000 8000 Fire, Pearl Yes (X-Zone only) The only hard part about this creature is that he can use Doom, which instantly kills its target. Just keep attacking or casting fire spells until it dies.
    SrBehemoth (1st) 19000 1600 Fire, Poison Yes Use fire spells plus have Edgar 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 way, or you can use revivify to kill it instantly.
    SrBehemoth (2nd) 19000 9999 Fire, Pearl Yes (X-Zone only)
    Chadarnook Woman 56000 9400 Fire Yes (X-Zone only) Have Edgar use Drill and everyone else use either fire spells or their best attacks.
    Chadarnook Demon 30000 7600 Fire, Pearl
    Phunbaba:The Return 26000 10000 Poison Yes You can defeat it basically the same way as before. Have Edgar use Drill, 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 55555 38000 Fire, Pearl 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 hps as it did when it ran. Eventually you'll kill it. Killing it will get you the Esper Bahamut.
    Red Dragon 30000 1780 Ice, Water 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 24400 9000 Fire Yes Use fire spells or if you don't have them use your best attacks.
    Tritoch 30000 50000 Fire Yes Use fire spells or best attacks to thaw it out.
    Umaro 17200 6990 Fire, Poison No Use fire spells or best attacks. Don't use Tritoch, Shiva, or Ice spells because it'll heal him.
    White Dragon 18500 1200 None 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 50000 50000 Varies 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.
    Left/ Larry 10000 2000 Fire Yes Use Ultima and Bahamut if you have them. If not just use your best attacks and spells, taking note what spells heal which stooge.
    Top/ Curley 15000 2000 Ice, Water Yes (X-Zone only)
    Right/ Moe 12000 2000 None
    WrexSoul 23066 5066 Ice 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 22000 1200 Varies 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 26900 3800 Lightning 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 37620 7400 Poison Yes Use Ultima for major damage. Otherwise use your best attacks Espers, spells, regular, and special).
    Hidon 25000 12500 Fire, Pearl, Earth 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 28500 16500 Wind, Water 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 55000 19000 None 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 32400 4000 Water 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 8000 770 Ice 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.
    Rough 30800 9700 Lightning
    Striker 11000 2600 Fire
    Skull Drgn 32800 1999 Fire, Pearl 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 63000 4800 Pearl 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 44000 19000 None Yes Use your more powerful spells (Ultima, Meteor, etc.) and attacks (Sabin's Bum Rush, etc.)
    Guardian again 60000 5200 Lightning, Water 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 58000 18900 Poison No Again, use your best attacks (Ultima, Flare, Bum Rush, etc). Ice 3 seems to work pretty good, too.
    Final Fight Lvl 1 30000 10000 Fire 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.
    27000 10000 Water
    33000 10000 Wind
    Final Fight Lvl 2 28000 10000 Poison No There are 4 things to attack here. The same strategy as above should work.
    41000 10000 Earth
    30000 10000 Ice
    24000 10000 Bolt
    Final Fight Lvl 3 9999 10000 None - Girl absorbs all elements No Only two things to attack here. If you're using attacks that only hit a single target, concentrate them on the angel head (the one on the left) because it'll heal both targets. When you get the right target down low it'll get mad and start using major damage attacks like Merton. Have your Cure spells ready.
    40000 10000 None
    Kefka: The End 63001 60000 None 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.
