Echidna
Echidna is a boss in the Dawn of Souls and succeeding versions of the original Final Fantasy. It is found in the southeastern room on the bottom floor of the Earthgift Shrine along with three other bosses. It usually uses one-hit KO attacks.
Strategy
Echidna's location.
Echidna tends to abuse the Earthquake spell, using it nearly every single turn. It is a good idea to have Protect Rings on your party to neutralize this. As far as attacking goes, Echidna is very resistant against all magic, so physical strikes enhanced by Haste and Temper are the way to defeat this boss.
Echidna will very rarely attack with Flare, dealing upwards of 250 damage on all characters.
