Template:FFIV Enemies Cagnazzo is a storyline boss in Final Fantasy IV. A wicked being known as The Drowned King, he appears as one of Golbez's Archfiends.

Battle

First Encounter

In the first fight his water shield can be destroyed by casting spells he is weak against. Tellah can cast Thundaga for massive damage, as Cagnazzo is weak to lightning. However, if too much damage is inflicted, he will withdraw into his shell and will begin to heal himself. Cecil should keep a Zeus's Wrath in case Cagnazzo starts to use Tsunami, as it is faster then a Thunder Spell.

DS Strategy

In the DS version the battle is essentially the same however Cagnazzo's weakness changes dependent on whether he his going to use Tsunami or not. Before he uses Tsunami water appears around him and he absorbs Ice and is weak to Thunder which gets rid of the water surrounding him preventing him from using the move. When he is not surrounded by water he is weak to Ice and Thunder does normal damage.

Cagnazzo will attempt to counter you with Hold. Tsunami is more dangerous as it can inflict instant death.

Second Encounter

Have Cecil attack, Edge use Blitz, Fusoya and Rydia use Thundaga and Thunder spells while Rosa uses Cure spells. The fight will be over soon but Barbariccia will come in for the fourth and final section of the fight.
