Plant Brain

The Plant Brain is a boss from Final Fantasy IX. The party fights it in the Evil Forest in order to rescue Princess Garnet who had been captured by Prison Cage.

Strategy
At the start of the battle Zidane should attempt to steal its Iron Helm, while Vivi should use Focus and Steiner should be on standby to heal the party with Potions. After a certain amount of time has passed, Blank will join the battle. Only after this point will the boss's HP start to drop. Alternatively, Blank will arrive when Zidane is KOd or his health bar goes to a critical state. Blank does not appear immediately if the player enters the battle with Zidane knocked out.

Once Blank arrives, he and Zidane should attack using normal physical attacks. Vivi and Steiner should cast Fire and Fire Sword, respectively. Steiner, Zidane and Blank should beware of Plant Brain's Pollen ability as it can blind them and limit their physical attacking capabilities, although it will not hamper Steiner's Sword Magic.

After the battle, Evil Forest will begin to petrify.
