Deumion (boss)

Deumion is a boss from Final Fantasy II Anniversary Edition for the PSP. He is located in the Arcane Labyrinth. He is guarding the Destroy Tome, and will test you with a fight against Phrekyos before you can face him.

After you defeat Phrekyos, you then have the option to ask him a Keyword. The word you will need to ask is Destruction. After speaking about this, you will have to face Deumion in battle.

Battle
Deumion can be a very tough opponent for those who are not leveled up enough.Each of his attacks (Blizzard, Dispel, Blaze, and Starfall) are all at level XVI.

To get a advantage over Deumion you should have Haste, Blink, Shell, and Protect above level X. To make this battle easier, try to distribute the spells throughout the party, rather than one character.

When the battle begins, cast Haste, shell, Blink, and Protect on all your characters. In the second round, have your two strongest fighters attack with dual weapons, while the others commence as medics. To increase their attacks, you might even want to cast berserk on your fighters.

Deumion seems partial to Dispel and Blizzard. If Deumion connects with Dispel, redistribute your protections, and continue on. Blizzard, with Shell should not be too much of a problem. If it hits you hard, your two medics will get your HP back with Cure.

Deumions ultimate attack, Starfall, can be devistating, if you are not protected. It can easily do a couple thousand HP in damage. Protect and Shell should be able to reduce this to under 1,000.

This really is not a difficult fight, if you are high enough in levels (60+), and you have your protective spells.

When you defeat him, you will be granted access to the Destroy Tome. This is the most powerful spell in the game. Even more so than the fabled Ultima Tome.
