did any boss in ff6 give ya trouble?

atma weapon and magi master and that chadarnook guy was average,not tough not easy.

MagiMaster wiped me out once, but at the time I didn't know about the benefits of casting 'Beserk' on him. The Three Goddesses were somewhat challenging, but not particularly so. First couple of times I tried to defeat Kefka I also failed.
Atma Weapon was a walkover - first time I played through, I just 'Rasp'ed him into oblivion; on subsequent occasions, Vanish + Doom did the business. Some people say it's cheating, yet strangely I care not.

I once played through the game, confidently and without saving, up to the fight with Vargas, at which point I muddled the Blitz input unto death. This occurred on four consecutive ocassions before I began to remind myself to take comfort in shining stars.

Magi Master also gave me a hard time when I first started playing, but that's because I didn't understand what Life3 did at the time. The thrid time you meet Ultros(where Relm paints his picture), I always have a hard time with that battle. But then again I only have one person with Bolt2 so it makes it a little tougher.

Fighting the Storm Dragon in Mt.Zozo as soon as possible is the hardest battle in the game. I think it took me somewhere around 6 tries to kill it. Magimaster was impossible until I figured out you have to use beserk on him, and even then I forget to cast Life 3 on myself and died anyways.

Kefka when you fight him at Narshe first you have to fight soldiers then him. I tried many different strategies. It took me a while to think of using Celes. Probaly because Iwas more focused on beating FF5 at that point in the game instead of 6.

The first encounter with Ultros was a pain, before I leveled my characters up a lot on the Lete. He'd always do that five tentacle attack, and hit Bannon twice.

Magimaster killed me once. I went up a second time with Mog and a Moogle charm and used Rasp on him till he ran out of MP. He tried to cast and died. Ha!

The Storm Dragon was so tough, I left his chest alone until a couple of hours later in game time.

Finally I tried to fight the mutiple party battles with Locke and the Moogles so that none of them died, which was tough to do, since you have very few healing items that early.

MagiMaster is the trickiest I've faced, reasons stated at above posts.

The first fight with Kefka (not the 'waiter' one), the one with teams, is one of the hardest imho. I'm always having one very weak group: Locke and Gau. Sabin goes with Cyan, Edgar and Celes (my Kefka strike force). Edgar just use Bioblaster at soldiers and when it come to Kefka, since my group has no real magic users, Celes can safely use Runic while the other single target Kefka with Aurabolt, Drill, Dispatch, etc.

It's cheating.

[MagicKnight Locke]

Oh yeah i just remembered,the fight against goddess was so hard that in the end i vanish-doomed it

[Daryl]

Most trouble I had was the first time I got to that annoying battle near Narshe, against Kefka and all those soldiers. I died so much during that, due to my hatred for leveling up. Heh.

[Reine]

Vargas (Couldnt figure out Blitz)
Atma Weapon (I wasnt prepared)
The boss at the end of the 1st world. (Wasnt prepared again)
Storm Dragon
Magi Master (No Life 3)
Kefka 1st form

These are all the first time through the game.

[Vermachtnis]

Dullahan, right before ya get the Falcon. He kept casting Cold Dust on everyone and then wailed on them til they where died. And then I learned of the Vanish/Doom and the game was easy. And I don't think it's cheating. I mean ya use what is given to ya at your full advantage.

[crono_logical]

DoomGaze is always hard to beat first time you meet him without him running away, and getting the esper at the same time

*SPOILERS*



I always found Ultros' encounter at statues (when Relm comes and paints his picture) hard. He always counters physical attacks with devastating physical blows, so I always have to use magic, but he counters even that with level 3 magic. I only have level 2 spells at that time. My best strategy in that battle was to have Wall Rings on everyone, so Ultros would get hit himself. But healing was hard in that battle, because Cure spells would also reflect.

MagiMaster is annoying. Not only the battle (and the tower) is long and Life3 is necessary to win, but it will be tough getting out of the tower after the battle if you don't have Moogle's Charm. I once beat MagiMaster without Mog in my party, and then I tried to get out of tower (Exit doesn't work, BTW). When I was about to reach the bottom floors, I got ambushed by a group of enemies who did short work of my party. I was really pissed off.

WrexSoul is really hard. I never figured out how to beat him by letting him kill one character and then reappear or something like that, so I always train my guys until they learn X-Zone. When the battle begins, I'll just cast X-Zone until the flames disappear.

The statue bosses (Doom, Goddess, Poltergeist) in Kefka's Tower are also hard if you only have your weaker characters in some of the groups that fight them. Kefka's easy, though

[Storm]

Yes, I have also experienced the frustration of climbing all the way up the Fanatic's tower and then getting killed right before leaving it.
