Kain? (boss)

Kain? is a boss from Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. He is actually Kain Highwind's dark side, who wants to kill Cecil. The Hooded Man (the real Kain) fights him to defeat his inner darkness, in Baron, after he kidnaps Rosa Farrell. He is fought three times in the whole game, and all three battles are scripted.

First Battle (Mount Ordeals)
The first fight with Kain? is in Mount Ordeals, after Kain enters the monument and his dark side rises up. The fight is fully scripted and the player only has to survive a few turns. To do this, Jump is an excellent idea to make time to finish the battle.

Second Battle (Baron)
The second fight is in Baron's Castle, after Dark Kain kidnaps Rosa. The Hooded Man, who is actually the real Kain, fight him to settle their conflict once and for all. The fight is divided in two parts. In the first one, the player can only survive a few rounds and then a scene will appear, where the Hooded Man's name changes to Kain and he learns the Jump ability, then the second part will start. This part also includes a famous theme from Final Fantasy IV, "Battle with Golbez's Four Emperors". The player should use Jump a few times and heal with Hi-Potions. Eventually, the battle will end and Kain will turn into a Holy Dragoon.

Third Battle (Fabul)
The third fight takes place in the crystal room at Fabul where Kain? is attempting to take the Crystal. First it will be a one on one battle between him and Ursula so just attack normally, while using Chakra to heal your HP. After a cutscene, Yang will arrive and join in the battle, so have Yang use a cover counter on Ursula while she uses Chakra on Yang to keep his HP up, but be careful since Ursula can still be hit by Jump. After the battle, Kain sees the fighting as being pointless and simply jumps over them, takes the Fire Crystal, then he admits of being of his own free will, then he leaves.
