Air Cutter Remora

The Air Cutter Remora is the first boss to be fought in Final Fantasy XII.

While on a rescue mission to save their king, Dalmascan knights, including Basch and Reks, are ambushed by an Air Cutter Remora codenamed "Tonberry." Even though proving to be a challenge against the knights, Basch puts an end to the Tonberry by unleashing Fulminating Darkness, his 1st Rank Quickening.

''Dr. Cid has been working on developing thought-driven combat weapons, called "rooks," for some time now. Test models saw their first combat use in a recent incident at the Draklor Laboratory.''

Three new models have been produced based on data collected during the Draklor Laboratory incident.

Battle
At this stage, the player controls a level 3 Reks, who is equipped with a Mythril Sword and a shield, and a knowledge of basic White and Black Magick. There are also other Dalmascan soldiers, including Basch who has an Attack power higher than Reks. All accompanying Dalmascan soldiers will hand out infinite Potions to those with low HP making the battle effectively impossible to lose.

The Air Cutter Remora will unleash its special attack, Remora Strike, at least three times in the battle, according to how much HP it has left. When Air Cutter Remora has only 40% HP left; Basch will come forward to unleash Fulminating Darkness, ending the battle.
