Mist Dragon  Hp : 465  Weaknesses :  None

                    A very easy boss, just have Cecil attack and Kain jump. If it turns into a mist,
                    wait till it changes back to a dragon, then continue to attack. Use Cure1 items
                    if you get low on hp.
 

Octomamm    Hp : 2300    Weaknesses : Lightning, Darkness

                                     Just have Cecil attack, Rydia call Chocobo and Tellah use
                                     either Lit1 for attacking or Cure2 for healing. It'll be dead in
                                     no time.
 

  Antlion  Hp : 1000   Weaknesses :  None

                  The best way to kill it is to have Edward and Cecil parry at all times while
                  Rydia calls the Chocobo. With this method, you'll probably won't need to heal.

Mombomb  Hp : 10 800  Weaknesses : Darkness

                     Have all your fighters ( Cecil, Edward, Yang ) attack while Rydia calls Chocobo,
                     Rosa heals the party with Cure1. Once it explodes, it becomes 3 Bombs and 3
                     Gray Bombs. Have Cecil attack the Gray Bombs, Edward attack the Bombs,
                     Yang Kick on all enemies, while Rydia call the Chocobo and Rosa uses Cure1
                     on the party.

  Milon   Hp : 3100   Weaknesses : Fire

            Have Cecil attack, Tellah use Fire1 or Cure2, Palom use Fire2 and
            Porom use Cure2 to heal the party. Be aware that Milon counters
            with Lit1 everytime you hit him. Get rid of the zombies ASAP and
            this will be an easy battle.
 

Milon Z.   Hp : 3000  Weaknesses :  Fire, Cure

                 Have Cecil attack, Tellah use Fire1 or Cure2 on  Milon Z.
                 Palom should cast Fire2 while Porom uses Cure2 to heal
                 the party. Don't worry if you get poisoned, the fight will be
                 quick.

  Baigan  Hp : 3500   Weaknesses :  None

                      Have Tellah cast either Fire3, Lit3 or Ice3 on the body,
                      Baigan will cast Wall, now kill one arm at a time using
                      Palom's Virus spell, while Cecil and Yang keep attacking
                      the body, have Tellah parry for 2-3 rounds while Porom
                      heals the party with Cure2. After three rounds, go ahead
                      and have Tellah or Palom finish off the body with spells.
                      If the arms were revived, then finish them quickly cause
                      they tend to explode on your members.

   Kainazzo  Hp : 4000    Weaknesses :  Lightning, Ice

                        This guy's a joke ! Just wait till he surrounds himself in water
                        and have Tellah cast Lit3, if he ain't dead, use Palom's Virus
                        to kill him off.

  Dark Elf  Hp : 22 000  Weaknesses :  None

                      You can't win against him now.... but when Edward plays his harp,
                      you can dish out plenty of damage using physical attacks.

Dark Dragon   Hp : 3000   Weaknesses :  Weak

                  Just have Tellah cast Weak on it, have your next character attack.
                  Boom, he's out !  :)

The Three Magus Sisters

Sandy(Tall) Hp : 2500 Weaknesses : None
Cindy(Fat) Hp : 4300  Weaknesses : None
Mindy(Baby)  Hp : 2200  Weaknesses : None

        Have Cecil and Yang attack Cindy constantly, Cid can either attack Cindy or
        use the Earth Hammer in battle to cast Quake. When Sandy casts the second
        Wall on Cindy, it will bouce back on one of your members, have Tellah cast
        either Fire3, Lit3 or Ice3 on the one who has Wall, you have one in three
        chances of hitting Cindy. Once Cindy bites the dust, finish the others using
        attacks and magic. Cure at times since their Delta Attack hurts.
 

  Valvalis  Hp : 6000   Weaknesses : None

        The key to beating Valvalis is to have Kain jump at all times. Cecil, Yang,
        Cid should attack while Rosa uses Cure2 or Heal depending on the situation.
 

        Cal( Blue) Hp : 300  Weaknesses : None
        Brena(Red) Hp : 1000  Weaknesses : None
        Calbrena(Giant doll)  Hp : 4624  Weaknesses : None

        Just attack the Cals first since their hps are low, finish off the Brenas if
        you can, otherwise they'll combine into Calbrena. Have Cecil and Cid
        attack, Kain should jump while Rosa cures or heals. ( It can charm you )
 
 

Golbez  Hp : 2000  Weaknesses : None

            You won't be able to anything until Rydia shows up, once she does
            have her call Jinn while Cecil attacks. That's all.
 

        Dr. Lugae(1st form)  Hp : 4416  Weaknesses : None
        Balnab Hp : 3927  Weaknesses : None

        These two aren't tough to beat, have Rydia cast Virus, Cecil attack,
        Yang attack, Kain jump and Rosa use Cure3(If needed). Make sure
        you take out Balnab first since he tends to explode if he's around for
        too long, Dr. Lugae might take over him, if he does, finish him off ASAP.

  Dr. Lugae (2nd form) Hp: 6600  Weaknesses : None

        Use the same strategy as above, Virus really does alot of damage.
 

   King & Queen Eblan  Hp: 60 000(each)   Weaknesses : None

        Just stay put until they gain consciousness, heal if your hps get low.
        They'll commit suicide.

Rubicant  Hp : 25 200   Weaknesses : Ice(When cape is open)

        Have Cecil attack, Kain jump, Edge cast Flood(needs timing), Rydia call Shiva
        (needs timing) while Rosa uses Cure3 or Life1 depending on the situation. If
        Rubicant casts Glare, it will usually kill a member, if more than one member is
        slain(except Edge), have Edge cast Flame on Rubicant, he will take damage and
        revive your dead members. Start casting Flood and Shiva while Rubicant still has
        his cape closed, if timed well, it will nail him once he opens his cape.
 

  Trap Door

        Ok, he's no boss, but you encounter lots of these in the sealed cave and are pretty tough
        to deal with. Here is a sure fire way to get them without too much trouble, although it
        requires a bit of level building. First of all, buy plenty of Life potions and Cure2 potions,
        you'll need them. Then make sure Rosa is at Level 34, so she knows Wall which is
        very useful for beating those monsters. When ever you encounter a Trap Door, wait
        until it uses it's Disrupt spell, which kills instantly. Have a character other than Rosa use
        a Life potion on the dead member, then have everyone parry until Rosa gets her turn,
        notice the Trap Door's next victim( it will always use Search before Disrupt ), then have
        Rosa cast Wall on that member, if done successfully, the Disrupt will bounce back to the
        Trap Door, killing it. This little trick saves you time and trouble and allows everyone to
        get their share of the exp. it gives.

Evilwall  Hp : 19 000   Weaknesses : None

        Have Cecil attack, Kain jump, Edge throw Shirukens, Rydia cast Virus, Rosa Bersk or
        cure everyone with Cure4(you should have it by now). Try to be quick since if Evilwall
        gets too close he starts using Crush, which kills one member instantly. Make sure you
        Bersk Cecil at the begining and Bersk Edge once he runs out of Shirukens.

  Asura  Hp : 23 000   Weaknesses : None

            Start off by casting Wall on Asura, so all her spells will bounce back on your members.
            Bersk Cecil and Edge, Rydia should call Titan while Rosa heals.(If necessary) Cure
            often since Asura can hit up to 1000 + damage to a member.

  Leviathan   Hp : 35 000   Weaknesses : Ice, Thunder

        Bersk Cecil only, Edge should cast Blitz, Rydia should cast Ice3(If she has it)
        or call Indra, Rosa should cast Cure4 at all rounds. His Tidal Wave isin't too
        strong, his Ice2 does lots of damage, so don't fall back on the healing.

  Odin  Hp : 20 500   Weaknesses : Thunder

        Challenging Odin is a breeze if Rydia has Lit3, have her use it to
        do 9999 damage to Odin, Cecil should attack, Edge cast Blitz,
        (if Kain is with you, jump) Rosa can attack for once since
        curing is useless. Note that you have 1 minute to kill Odin, so be
        quick on taking him out. If you don't kill him in time, he'll kill you
        with Atom Edge.(6000 + damage to everyone)

  Behemoth  Hp : 16 000   Weaknesses : None

        You'll encounter 3 of these in Bahamut's cave, they're pretty tough.
        Have Cecil attack, Edge attack, Rydia call Leviathan, Fusoya cast
        Nuke while Rosa casts Cure4. Make sure you're healthy while fighting
        them. They can hit up to 1200 damage to a member.

  Bahamut  Hp : 37 000  Weaknesses : None

        Have Cecil and Edge attack, Rydia call Leviathan, Rosa and Fusoya should
        cast Wall on themselves, then on Cecil and Rydia. Bahamut begins by making
        a countdown from 5 to 0, once it reaches 0 he uses MegaNuke that does 7000 +
        damage to anyone who isin't protected by Wall, a part of his attack will bouce
        back to him, doing 9999 damage to him. After MegaNuke, he resumes the 5
        to 0 countdown, you should be able to kill him before he can unleash a 2nd
        MegaNuke.

         

The Elementals

Milon  Hp : 25 000-30 000    Weaknesses : Fire
Rubicant  Hp : 25 000-30 000  Weaknesses : Ice
Kainazzo  Hp : 20 000-25 000  Weaknesses : Thunder, Ice
Valvalis  Hp : 20 000-25 000  Weaknesses : None

You start off by attacking Milon, have Cecil attack, Edge cast Flame, Rydia cast Fire3 or
call Jinn, Fusoya cast Fire3 and Rosa heal the team with Cure4. When fighting Rubicant,
Cecil should attack, Edge cast Flood, Rydia cast Ice3 or call Leviathan, Fusoya cast Ice3
while Rosa cures. With Kainazzo, have Cecil attack, Edge cast Blitz, Rydia call Indra or
cast Lit3, Fusoya cast Lit3 and Rosa cure.  Valvalis however won't go down easily, she can
cast Storm ( Weak on everyone ), so have Cecil attack, Edge attack, Rydia call Asura ( if weak )
or call Bahamut, Fusoya should cast Nuke while Rosa cures.
 

  
 
                   
Cpu and Attacker, Defender

Cpu  Hp : 20 000  Weaknesses : None
Attacker, Defender  Hp : 2000  Weaknesses : None

When you start the battle, the Cpu will cast Wall on itself, so forget about magic.
Take out the Defender first, so the Cpu won't get healed, but don't kill the
Attacker, you'll get killed by Globe99 if you do. ( 9999 damage to 2 or 3 members )
Cecil should attack, Edge can attack, but if he has lots of throwing weapons, by all
means throw, Rydia and Fusoya should attack while Rosa cures, the Attacker will
use an attack called Maser that does 200-500 damage to everyone. When the Cpu
dies, go ahead and use magic to kill the Defender.
 

Pale Dim  Hp : 27 300  Weaknesses : None

The big tip here is to cast Float on everyone before fighting it, doing this will
cause its occasionnal Quake spell to be useless. It uses Slow often and can
hit up to 1300 + damage to a member. Cecil attack, Edge attack ot throw,
Rydia call Bahamut, Kain jump and Rosa use Cure4 or Life2.
 

Wyvern  Hp : 25 000  Weaknesses : None

Quite possibly the toughest boss in FF4, even thougher than the last boss.
He starts out by casting MegaNuke which may kill everyone, if not then
revive Rosa if she died, then have her cast Life2 to the other dead members.
Cecil should attack, Edge as well, Rydia call Bahamut, Kain jump as always.
The Wyvern casts a Wall on himself then casts Nuke on himself,
so that it bounces back on your members. Smart guy ;) .
 

Plague  Hp : 28 000  Weaknesses : None

The Plague is a bit like Odin, it's just you have less time to kill him.
All he does is cast Count on all 5 and you got 15-20 seconds to kill
him. Cecil should attack, Edge throw a strong weapon, Rydia call
Bahamut, Kain jump and Rosa cast White. If you're lucky, it'll
die as the 00 counter shows up.

Lunar Dragons  Hp : 21 000  Weaknesses : Fire

They're like Wyvern, but use a less deadly attack, they cast Wall
on themselves, followed by a bombardment of Virus spells. If
Cecil has the Crystal Sword, it will do 9999 damage to them.
Edge should attack, Kain jump, Rydia call Bahamut and Rosa
cast Cure4.
 

Ogopogo  Hp : 37 000  Weaknesses : None

Like Leviathan, he uses the Tidal Wave, but he can do it
twice in a row, causing 1000 + damage to everyone.
Have Cecil attack, Edge attack or throw the Excalibur
(8000+ damage ), Rydia call Bahamut, Kain jump and
Rosa cast Cure4.
