Lunar Leviathan (The After Years)

Lunar Leviathan is an optional boss in the IOS and Android version of Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. It is found inside a chest in the Depths of the True Moon, and a warning is given to the player should they attempt to open it. When beaten, the player is rewarded with the Hero's Shield.

Battle
Lunar Leviathan mostly relies on Blizzaga and Maelstrom throughout the fight, and may counter attacks with Glare, Constrict, and Curse to inflict one of several status effects on several characters. His power is less than that of Lunar Odin, but he possesses higher speed and more HP. However, also unlike Lunar Odin, Lunar Leviathan is highly susceptible to lightning based magic like Thundaga and Ramuh.

Strategy
Cast the necessary buffs that you normally would in a fight like Protect, Shell and Haste, then cast slow on the boss to hamper his attacking speed. Bring several (or perhaps only one) Black Mages to the fight, Palom and Rydia being the best, and cast Thundaga as often as you are able to hit Leviathan with high amounts of HP damage. White Mages can cast healing spells as usual, particularly after Maelstrom is used, and casting protective barriers when they're skills are not required.
