Mindflayer (Final Fantasy XII)

The Mindflayer is a Rank IV Mark in the game Final Fantasy XII, found in the Phase 1 Dig area of the Henne Mines, but will only appear if the party has full MP. The hunt becomes available after felling Judge Bergan at Mt. Bur-Omisace. While the hunt is undertaken, a garif named Asdalu can be found and spoken to in the Staging Shaft of the Henne Mines.

Bestiary Entry
Genus: Rank IV Mark Classification: Mindflayer

"Being one of a Race of Beings evolved from the lowly Amorph. Possessed of great Intellect compared to its common ilk, it attacks by manipulating Thought with its indomitable Will. It is far eviler than its ancestors, and Proud of its superior Nature, loving above all Else the sight of other sentient Beings in Pain. The garif have sworn Enmity toward the Mindflayers, and one of them posted a Bill for this Mark."

Battle
The player can cast Berserk and Slow on the Mindflayer to stop him from casting magick. He will still use Invert. The Nihopalaoa + Remedy trick will work on the Mindflayer.

Power Armlet gives immunity to Stop, but if it isn't available, the party can buff themselves with Shell to reduce the chance of being inflicted with statuses to half, making it unlikely the entire party will be stopped at once.

The Mindflayer may restore all of its health the first time it is HP critical, and if so the player will have to deplete its HP again to defeat it.
