Exdeath (boss)

Exdeath is a boss in Final Fantasy V. The party engages him twice. During the first battle, Galuf sacrifices himself to save the party.

Confrontation at the Great Forest of Moore
This battle is fought with Galuf alone. It is special in that it is scripted, so Galuf cannot die during the battle, even if his HP goes down to 0. It is impossible to lose.

Battle at Exdeath's Castle
This battle will be pretty tough, as he will inflict Condemn onto one of the party members, giving them 30 seconds before death. Revive that character immediately, use strong attacks and cast Golem. Also if the player has it, throw the Excalipoor at Exdeath which will deal about 3500 HP of damage to him! Watch for him to use his Dynamo, its not much but it completely rearranges the party's row positions so all front row people are going to be in the back row and vice versa. Immediately switch back to the original rows once he has done that because it can seriously affect the party's performance in this battle. Make sure to have at least one knight! Have him use Rapid Fire if he has learnt it and equip him with the Blood Sword, and also have him equip the Ice Shield. Exdeath will use Firaga and Blizzaga in succession, this means that his Firaga attack will be useless as the character will have absorbed his Blizzaga attack. This means as much as 1600 HP can be absorbed from Exdeath each round.
