Final Fantasy II ( IV ) Walkthrough Part 55
Back on the Blue Planet, all the characters pray for your safety, and Cecil is able to recover long enough to get the Crystal (which dispels Zeromus' protection). Now the final battle begins. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *FINAL BOSS: ZEROMUS* Recommended Level: Ce:60/Ry:62/Ca:75/Ro:60/Ed:59 Attacks: Big Bang, Flare, Bio, Bl.Hole, Meteo, Wall Big Bang: Very powerful attack, causes rapid HP loss Flare: Counterattack to magic attacks on him Bio: Counterattack to magic attacks on him Bl. Hole: Nullifies all magical barriers Meteo: Hits 2-3 characters for 1500-2000 damage Wall: Reduces HP to single digits Strategy: During the first part of the battle, all the playable characters in the game (and Golbeze) show up to heal the party. Once you regain control of your characters, have Rosa Haste Edge and have Edge Sneak Zeromus. After a few turns, you should get the DkMatter item, which reduces the damage of BigBang, Zeromus massive attack. Now, have Cecil use the Crystal on Zeromus to reveal his true form. Wait a few second, then unload your attacks like this: Cecil: Attack with the Ragnarok. Rydia: Cast Flare, summon Bahamut. Cain: Jump with the Holy Lance. Rosa: Keal 4 every round, Holy if you think you can risk it. Edge: Dart the Cleaver, Excalibur, Avenger, Defender, etc. Don't bother with setting up Shells etc., as the Black Hole will just eat them up. Just keep curing and throwing your best attacks his way and you'll eventually win. This is a pretty tough fight, one of the hardest in the game.
