Final Fantasy VI Bosses

Tunnel Armor is more or less a scripted battle; it forces you to use Celes as a Runic user while Locke should Attack, Attack, Attack!

Tunnel Armor is boring. He uses Attack, !Drill, Fire, Thunder, and Poison to hurt you. If he hits 384 HP, he'll swap the possibility of casting Poison for the ability to fire off Magitek Lasers. If he's been damaged, he'll sometimes counter with Attack.

Have Celes under continual Runic during this fight. If your enemy casts a spell, have her use it as soon as possible. If the enemy uses a physical attack, just have Celes wait; there'll be a magical attack around the corner. Locke should try to steal something as long as Tunnel Armor still has anything. If you steal a second Air Knife, and Locke still has a Genji Glove with a Main Gauche equipped, you can use the second Air Knife by equipping it mid-battle. Have Locke use a Hi-Potion if either character gets low on HP; the strongest attack he'll be able to successfully use is !Drill, which hits for slightly over 100 HP worth of damage on a Genji Glove wearing, Front Row Locke. Otherwise, he should simply attack. Expand Full Strategy
