Odin (Final Fantasy III boss)

Odin is a boss from Final Fantasy III. To challenge him, the party must first obtain the Nautilus airship, which is able to act like a submarine. The party can then enter the Saronia Catacombs after diving underwater. After winning this battle, the player obtains Odin as a Summon. This is also the only opportunity in the game to obtain the spear Gungnir, the most powerful weapon until the end of the game, with the class-mastery weapons and the Ultima Weapon. The spear can only be stolen by a Thief with a Job level of 71 or higher.

Strategy
To beat Odin, it is recommended to have a party with an average level of 37. Have at least one Warrior, and one Dragoon. Warrior's Advance does great damage to Odin, around 2200. A Dragoon's Jump ability will not only save the character from being hurt, but will also subtract a good amount of Odin's health. Odin uses one of two attacks, a regular attack, which deals about 400 damage, and is used twice in one turn, or Zantetsuken, known as Atom Edge in the NES version, hits all party members for massive damage. When this happens, use a healer to cast Cura on all party members. Protect can be a great to defense yourself against Odin's physical attacks. To deal damage, your Dark Knight's Souleater can be a good way to low Odin's HP really fast. Once Odin is beaten, you will receive him as a Summon.
