Iron Claw (Final Fantasy V)

Iron Claw is a boss in Final Fantasy V. It tries to stop the party from escaping Karnak Castle before it blows up. To encounter it, you must defeat the Cur Nakks surrounding a Sergeant. When you do, the Sergeant will transform into the Iron Claw.

Strategy
Even with the time limit, this is an easy battle. It's got low stats and has no immunities. The only thing you should do here is learn the Blue Magic Death Claw. Once you do, proceed to beat him up with your best magic and attacks. If you don't encounter Iron Claw here, you never will again.

You can also skip this encounter by killing the Sergeant while there is still at least one Cur Nakk alive, however, this will prevent you from encountering Iron Claw forever.
