Baugauven (boss)

Story
Baugauven is an enemy and boss of Final Fantasy Dimensions. He is faced three times on the game. Once abroad an Imperial Airship on Chapter 2 and at the end of Mt. Gulg at the end of the same chapter. And then near the end of the game.

1st Battle
The first battle is scripted and the party cannot defeat Baugauven at this time as any damage done will be basically null. The party must survive the onslaught of attacks that include Burning Slash, and Fira until he unleashes Heat Wave, at which point he will use Final Backdraft, ending the battle. Elgo's Cura spell and a Summoner with Sylph will help greatly to survive the battle. Protect is also recommended for Burning Slash.

2nd Battle
Baugauven is not truly difficult as his attack remain mostly the same, except with a large boost of power. However Fira and Burning Slash no longer do damage as problematic as the first battle considering the party is leveled up and with better equipment, and that any White Mage with Cura can help remedy the problem of his attacks such as Fira and Burning Slash. However Baugauven's Heat Wave can do large damage and Burning Slash can be used twice. Furthermore Baugauven will counter most attacks with Fira. Even then at this point the party likely can survive these attacks with Protect and healing all the turns. Also a Black Mage with Blizzara will inflict massive damage on Baugauven. Attacks such as Strike, Aurablast, Smash and Darkness can greatly damage the general, rendering the threat of his counter even more feeble. Eventually he will use Final Backdraft to end the battle, after which Graham will battle Baugauven alone and defeat him with Zantetsuken.
