Siegfried (boss)

Siegfried, also known as Ziegfried, is a boss in Final Fantasy VI. He is fought twice in the game, once aboard the Phantom Train and again as an optional enemy in Dragon's Neck Colosseum if the player bets a Megalixir.

Battle
When fought aboard the Phantom Train, Siegfried opens the battle with eight physical attacks on random targets that do very little damage. With only a hundred HP, almost any attack will dispatch Siegfried in one hit. When Shadow is in the party, Interceptor might block and Counter his attack, killing him without the player even attacking.

Coliseum Setup
In the Coliseum, Siegfried is much more powerful. His normal physical attacks can do a thousand damage a hit, and he can use Metal Cutter to do high damage. He can also Throw weapons and use Hyperdrive - both of these attacks ignore Defense and thus are almost guaranteed to kill the player's character. The easiest way to defeat Siegfried is to equip Terra, Celes, Locke, or Edgar with the Ultima Weapon, another strong weapon, a Genji Glove, and the Master's Scroll. If the player is lucky their character will attack, and as they can attack eight times with the set-up, they will likely kill Siegfried in one turn. Under this set-up, each attack only needs to do 4,000 - 5,000 damage to kill Siegfried.

Curiously, a Rage of Siegfried's Coliseum appearance exists in the game coding, but as Siegfried never appears on the Veldt, Gau can never learn it.
