Soul Cannon

The Soul Cannon is a boss in Final Fantasy V. It is the main defense of the flying ruins, and the party must defeat it to get inside the ruins.

Strategy
The Soul Cannon isn't much of a problem. It's slow, and takes time to charge up its attacks. It like to use Missile though, which reduces a characters HP by a quarter. Its other attack, Wave Cannon, can do some serious damage if not careful, but you can easily predict when he's going to use it.

Start the battle by using the Blue Magic Level 5 Death. This will instantly kill the Launchers, making the Cannon even more vulnerable. Then, have your Black Mages cast Thundara, your Mystic Knights use Thundara Sword, and your Summoners use Ramuh. It will take a while, but as long as you keep your HP up, it shouldn't prove too difficult.
