Minotaur (Final Fantasy V)

Minotaur is a boss in Final Fantasy V. He is a boss guarding in the Fork Tower, guarding the Holy spell.

Strategy
Minotaur is a fight for the party's hardest hitting physical characters. The party must not have the Excalibur or Holy Lance equipped, as he absorbs the Holy element. The easiest strategy is to have either Ninjas or Monks who know the Guard skill in a party. The Ninjas can cast Image on themselves, which means the Minotaur cannot hit them, and the party can just proceed to throw items at him for high damage. The Monks can Guard repeatedly to reduce all physical damage to zero, and since Minotaur uses only physical attacks, it will be unable to harm the character, which lets the Monk's automatic counterattacks finish Minotaur off.

This battle can be simply taken on with one character who has the Blood Sword equipped and the Rapid Fire command.

Once Minotaur has lost all his HP, he will try to cast Holy, but will fail since he does not have any MP. He can still perform Holy at the end of the battle, if the player gives him an Ether.
