Elidibus

Elidibus is a legendary wizard from Final Fantasy Tactics that is said to be a hero of the Fifty Years' War, though his exact role is never stated. He is hidden on the lowest level of the Midlight's Deep. Exactly how he came to be in possession of the Serpentarius Zodiac Stone, the secret thirteenth stone, is unclear, but he is able to transform into a Lucavi of the same name. Elidibus has the role of an optional boss; if fought, he would come between Adrammelech and Hashmal. If the description for the Magick City of Gariland is read, it is revealed that it is Elidibus' hometown. According to his character description, he disappeared during the recapture of Riovanes Castle.

Fighting Elidibus
Ramza Beoulve will encounter Elidibus in the pitch-black final floor of the Midlight's Deep. He will immediately transform into Lucavi form when spotted, and is quite powerful, packing almost as many Hit Points as Ultima's second form. He is backed up by several Reavers, but Ramza's team gets a guest for this battle: Byblos, a special Reaver. Elidibus himself packs several powerful spells, including the move Zodiark, which can be learned Blue Mage style (it is part of the Summoner class, so bring a well-equipped Summoner to this battle if you wish to learn it).An easy way is to equip the ability mp switch or the psp mana shield to switch damage to mp damage so that it is easier to survive the colossal damage that he inflicts. Also be sure to be ready for the toad effect as he can use that and a different damage ability. All of this is much easier if all the bybolos or reavers are dead. Good luck!

Trivia

 * Elidibus's monster form is a combination of the man and a serpent, which is a reference to the shape of the Ophiuchus constellation, which inspired the thirteenth Zodiac Sign featured in Final Fantasy Tactics. Ophiuchus, also known as Serpentarius, is said to be shaped like a man grasping a serpent. Ophiuchus also appears in a sidequest of Final Fantasy IX.


 * Zodiark's "Darkening Cloud" is also the title of Famfrit in Final Fantasy XII.
