Kraken (Final Fantasy III)

Kraken is a boss in Final Fantasy III, fought in the Cave of Tides. Kraken is sent by Xande to procure the powers of the Water Crystal. When it appears, it attempts to attack Luneth, but Aria stands in its way, sacrificing herself to save him. Kraken attacks the Warriors of Light, but is defeated nevertheless.

Battle
In the NES version, Kraken has access to Fire2, Ice2 and Bolt2, all of which deal mediocre damage to the party. The party should use strong physical attacks to deal damage, or use high-level magic.

Kraken, as with all bosses in the Nintendo DS remake, can attack twice in a row with either a strong physical attack, Blizzara on one or all party members, or Blind on one or all party members. It is recommended to use the Scholar with Zeus's Wrath to deal upwards to 2000+ damage, while having a Red Mage or Black Mage constantly use Thundara. If the player picked up the Blizzaga spell earlier in the cave, they should use it as well. One party member should constantly cast Cura.
