Editing (section) Cloud of Darkness (Final Fantasy III boss) 0 You are not logged in. == Remake battle == The Right Tentacle is immune to physical attacks, but not magic. The Left Tentacle is immune to magic and must be taken down with physical attacks. The Right Tentacle is weak to all elements. The Left Tentacle uses a [[Lightning (ability)|Lightning]] attack. Each tentacle seems to have 66,666 health each(untested), so putting effort to kill each one will be an effort, but also very worth it. The Cloud of Darkness can use [[Bad Breath]] to hamper the party unless the members are equipped with [[Final Fantasy III armor#Ribbon|Ribbons]] or [[Final Fantasy III armor#Aegis Shield|Aegis Shields]]. Otherwise, only its physical attacks pose an actual threat (although they do not ignore defense in this version) until it starts to use [[Wave Cannon (ability)|Particle Beam]] (the same as Flare Wave from the NES version). === Remake strategy === Although difficult, the Cloud of Darkness can be defeated by solely attacking its main body. However, destroying the Tentacle on the player's left first makes the rest of the battle easier because of its powerful Lightning attack. Casting [[Firaga (ability)|Firaga]] or [[Holy (ability)|Holy]] on the Right Tentacle will do large amounts of damage. A [[Devout (Final Fantasy III)|Devout]] is highly recommended as they can use high level White Magic, including [[Curaja]] and [[Arise]], more often and more powerfully than the Sage and can support the party with [[Protect (ability)|Protect]] or cast Holy on the Cloud of Darkness. Protect can only be cast on one person per turn so that strategy is optional. [[Warrior (Final Fantasy III)|Warriors]] can use the Advance ability to deal heavy damage to either the Right Tentacle or the Cloud of Darkness. Ninjas are useful for their [[Throw (ability)#Final Fantasy III|Throw]] ability and they can also inflict massive physical damage to the Cloud of Darkness while [[Dual Wield|dual-wielding]] the [[Final Fantasy III weapons#Masamune|Masamune]] and [[Final Fantasy III weapons#Muramasa|Muramasa]]. It is preferred for [[Dark Knight (Final Fantasy III)|Dark Knights]] and [[Dragoon (Final Fantasy III)|Dragoons]] to [[Attack (command)#Final Fantasy II|attack normally]] and only use boosts provided by Devouts and [[Bard (Final Fantasy III)|Bards]], both of which are recommended to be in the back [[row]]. Bards can also use Sing with a [[Final Fantasy III weapons#Loki Harp|Loki Harp]] for a more effective attack bonus. [[Black Belt (Final Fantasy III)|Black Belts]] can use Boost to save a Devout's turn.
