Lunar Leviathan (Final Fantasy IV)

Lunar Leviathan is an optional boss in the Game Boy Advance and PlayStation Portable remakes of Final Fantasy IV. It is fought during Palom and Porom's Lunar Trial at the Lunar Ruins. When beaten, the player obtains the Twin Stars, which allow Palom and Porom to cast Double Meteor as one of their Twin Magic spells, and the Grimoire LL, which, if used as an item, summons Lunar Leviathan to deal 9,999 Water-based damage to all enemies. Using up the Grimoire unlocks the trial door again.

Strategy
Lunar Leviathan's attack patterns are similar to his counterpart, Leviathan. He will use Deluge when his mouth is open, and Blizzaga when his mouth is closed. Lunar Leviathan also uses Maelstrom to inflict Near-Fatal on the party. Porom should heal immediately after this, or someone in the party should quickly use a Megalixir, before Lunar Leviathan uses Tidal Wave to kill the entire party in two moves. Palom meanwhile should cast Thundaga or Flare, and if Edge is in the party, he should use Blitz to hit Leviathan's weakness.
