Atomos

Atomos is an optional boss in the Dawn of Souls and many succeeding versions of the original Final Fantasy, bar the Android version or Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster. It is fought on Floor B10 of the Lifespring Grotto, and must be defeated to progress further into the dungeon. Like the other bosses in the Lifespring Grotto, Atomos originally appeared as a boss in Final Fantasy V.

FFI Atomos' Location

Atomos' location.

Atomos's signature attack, Wormhole, can instantly kill a single character. Firaga and Comet are Atomos's biggest threats beyond Wormhole. Atomos has one of the highest Intelligence stats in the entire game and his Firaga can deal 300 HP of damage to the entire group, with Comet dealing around the same amount of non-elemental damage to a single target.

Strategy[]

NulDeath, Lunar Curtains or Protect Rings are suggested. NulBlaze or Fire-resistant equipment like the Ice Armor works well against Firaga.

If the party doesn't have any protection against instant death, Atomos should be defeated as quickly as possible to avoid Wormhole hitting too many times. As with most bosses, casting Saber (with the Giant's Gloves), Haste and Temper on physical units helps to quickly defeat Atomos. If the party is at a high enough level, Wormhole will almost always miss, making the battle much easier.
