Odin (Final Fantasy IV 2D)

Odin is an optional boss and summon in Final Fantasy IV. He must be fought in order to be obtained. After visiting Feymarch, the player is able to challenge him in the Baron castle's basement.

Strategy
It is best to use Cecil's and Kain's basic attacks, Edge's Blitz Ninjutsu and Rydia's Thundaga. Rosa should cast Haste on the entire team and Berserk to Kain and Cecil.

In order to gain victory, the battle must be fought quickly. When Odin raises his sword it means he will soon use Zantetsuken (though it is not very likely to happen in the DS version). If Kain has jumped and is out of the battle when Odin uses Zantetsuken, he will not be affected. Rydia is needed most in this battle. If the player is getting overwhelmed, it may be easiest to set the Battle Speed to slow.

In the Nintendo DS version, Edge can steal the Darkness augment and the player can guard against Zantetsuken in case Odin uses it.
