Stats[]

Four versions of Erebus exist. They have the same amount of HP at 3,500, but different elemental and status properties. They are numbered 333–335 in the GBA version bestiary. In the discontinued 2014 version, they are 4–7 on the boss bestiary list.

Battle[]

The bottom-left Erebus has inherent reflect and absorbs all eight elements, so only physical attacks and certain spells can damage it. The bottom-center Erebus is vulnerable to death attacks. The bottom-right Erebus is weak to all eight elements and vulnerable to many status effects, and is easy to kill with almost any type of spell. The upper-right Erebus can inflict Zombie Zombie status. Hidon will revive them after four to seven turns of being alone.

Strategy[]

The player should kill the upper-right Erebus first for its zombie-inflicting skills. Death kills the bottom-center Erebus quickly. Collectively, the best way to kill the Erebus is to cast Ultima as it can kill all four Erebus in just one cast.

Etymology[]

In Greek mythology, Erebus was often conceived as a primordial deity, representing the personification of darkness; for instance, Hesiod's Theogony places him as one of the first five beings to come into existence, born from Chaos.
