Hell Wyrm is an optional boss in Final Fantasy XII. It is regarded as a prelude to the most difficult superboss in the game.

''Being a dragon of such high order of evil it is called the King of Hell. Legend claims that it once traveled freely between this world and the underworld spreading destruction until the gods themselves intervened, robbing it of the power of flight, and sending it plummeting into the abyss. Though it spread its wings again, meaning to challenge the gods' judgment, the power of the shining glyphs they had placed upon it kept it earthbound, and so it slept for many eons in dark passages, awaiting the chance to rise once more.''

Battle
There is a sub-quest involved in being able to enter the Hell Wyrm's lair and defeat it. In order to gain access to this battle, the player must have already defeated the Vyraal in order to complete Hunt #21: Get My Stuff Back in the Balfonheim/Cerobi Steppe area. Once the hunt has been complete, the player will receive the key item Dragon Scale, which will allow the player to participate in the Wyrm Philosopher sidequest.

This battle can be abandoned at any time, and the Hell Wyrm's HP stays at the point where the player left it. Judgment is used whenever Hell Wyrm has lost 10% of its HP.
