Famed Mimic Gogo

Famed Mimic Gogo is a boss in Final Fantasy V. He guards a Crystal shard in the sunken Walse Tower in the Merged World.

Defeating Famed Mimic Gogo earns the player the achievement "Master Mimic" in the iOS version.

Battle
Gogo tells the party he will mimic them, and if the player takes no action at all, he praises the party for mimicking him, and gives them the Crystal shard for the Mime job class.

If the player attacks Famed Mimic Gogo, he will be the most powerful boss in the game and will counter physical attacks with one of his own, dealing 9,999 damage, killing the target. If the player uses magic, Famed Mimic Gogo will counter with a spell that should kill the target. If the party gets Famed Mimic Gogo down to a certain amount of HP, he gets angry and will Triplecast Meteor, which should kill the party unless one is at an absurdly high level, is using cheats, or has muted him with Spellblade, as he is not immune to Mute.

Strategy
The proper way to defeat Famed Mimic Gogo is to do nothing at all; he tells the party he will mimic them, and to defeat him, they must mimic him (i.e. do nothing).

It is possible to beat Gogo directly. All his attacks before the Triplecast hit only one member allowing the party to revive if the party is hasted. The HP threshold to make Gogo cast Meteor is not high, so it is easy to buff a party member to do so much damage he dies before he can Triplecast. If the party does this they still get the Crystal shard.

Dissidia Final Fantasy
Gogo cameos in Dissidia as the icon for Time Attack in Arcade Mode.
