Battle

It is not a major threat unless it is the only enemy on the battlefield. If it is, it counters most attacks by casting Lv 3 Confuse, Lv 4 Flare, or Lv 5 Death on the attacker, which is dangerous if the attacker is at the wrong levels.

A good strategy is to either kill the Apokryphos first, or to use Rasp to drain its MP, as it dies when it reaches 0. Instant Death attacks also work well, so Shadow should use the Assassin's Dagger. Locke can steal Angel Rings from them.

Etymology

[view · edit · purge]Apocrypha comes from Ancient Greek ἀπόκρυφος (apókruphos) meaning "hidden" or "obscure". As a term, it refers chiefly to literary work that was intended to exist as part of a larger work, but was obscured or otherwise rejected from said body of work. In the Christian tradition, for instance, there are believed to exist several books and letters that were not canonized in the Bible. These hidden texts are known as the Apocrypha or Deuterocanonica.
