Final Fantasy VI Bosses

On the offense, Skull Dragon is everything you'd expect. It will try to set a multitude of statuses, the most dangerous of which is Zombie. It has a few direct-damage moves, which include spooky necromancer moves such as Bio, Will o' the Wisp and a powerful physical. For some reason it has a particular hatred for Terra, who will be targeted by a Disaster attack every fourth turn. Ain't that cute. The nastiest move is probably Lv. 5 Death, if your levels are wrong. Safety Bits and Memento Rings help out there.

It's on the defense that the dragon gets nasty. You can't kill this thing in the traditional sense of the word. Unlike Red Dragon Redux however, it lacks the common sense to auto-terminate. The only two ways to kill Skull Dragon are Joker's Death and... draining its MP. That's right, using Rasp 'til it rolls over. Did you take a look at the fact that this dragon has 14000 MP?

This is a very simple fight, but since Squenix felt particularly sadistic that day and decided to make us repeat the same thing for half an hour after figuring it out in the first place. It's like making a movie from a Saturday Night Live sketch. We got the point in the first five minutes, why oh why did Will Ferrell sign up for this?

Anyway, it's pretty important that you don't die in the eternity it takes to kill Skull Dragon (Redux), so Ribbon up. If you lack four Ribbons, Amulets are the best replacements. Earrings are great to boost the Rasp spell. That's about it. Use Hastega to use more Rasp spells. Use the Maginot Line to make sure you're not prevented from using Rasp spells. Try not to nod off when using Rasp spells. When you feel like you're getting pretty sick of all the Rasp spells, it is probably time to use about 50 more Rasp spells. Games are fun!
