Bestiary entry[]
Page 1: Observations[]
- When Man first began to use fire not as a sacred object, but as a weapon of war, it angered a great spirit of flame, this appearing among us as a stallion, cloaked in searing fire, its body of a heat impossible to measure.
When, every once in a rare while, the Garamsythe Waterway fills with a thick fog, it is said that the Firemane is galloping its ways and channels, its fiery rage boiling the waters into steam.

Battle[]
Bushfire.
Firemane hits hard physically and occasionally casts Fire to characters who are not standing in water, where it is also more prone to using its other attacks. Its special attack, Bushfire, can inflict Poison, and affects the whole party.
Amalia will be using Potions on characters who are low on HP, and can use Cure in the Zodiac versions.
Strategy[]
Amalia may not be able to provide healing fast enough to balance the damage, so it is advisable to give someone else a curative gambit. To mitigate magick damage, the party can equip the Goddess's Magicite on someone not responsible for Cure magick. The party will not have any water-elemental spells at this point, so the best strategy is to cast Protect and use physical attacks. It is useful to have a few Antidotes ready.
The Garamsythe Waterway's water terrain effect will increase the amount of damage the party can do with Thunder by a modest amount. In the Zodiac versions, the Dark spell would be the superior spell to use, however.
Rewards[]
Montblanc will give the player 200 gil for defeating the Firemane.
