Dark Bahamut (Final Fantasy IV 3D)

Dark Bahamut, also known as Wyvern or Dk.Bahamut, is a boss in Final Fantasy IV. It guards the Ragnarok, Cecil's strongest weapon in the original release of the game.

Battle
Dark Bahamut begins the battle with Megaflare, and then casts Reflect on itself and bounces Flare spells onto the party. Flare is typically not fatal, and it is possible to survive Megaflare as well. Dark Bahamut counters summoning with another Megaflare, limiting Rydia's potential in the fight, although she can still summon Bahamut to pierce Reflect.

Strategy
Another strategy is to immediately use a Spider's Silk or have Rosa cast Slow on Dark Bahamut. If Rosa has the Omnicasting Augment one can simply have her cast Blink on the party in one turn, followed by Reflect on the entire party. If Dark Bahamut casts Reflect on himself, the party can cast Flare onto each other if the party is reflected to reflect it onto him. When Dark Bahamut uses Flare as a normal attack he will bounce it off his Reflect barrier, but if Dark Bahamut uses it as a counter attack he will cast it directly, bouncing it back if the party has Reflect. With the Omnicasting Augment, if multiple party members get KOed, one can cast Arise on the entire party to fully revive everyone.
