Final Fantasy VI PlayStation Bestiary entry
Field Sprite

The Guard Leader, otherwise known as Marshal, is a boss in Final Fantasy VI fought in the Narshe Mines when Locke and the Ten Moogles face him and his guards to protect Terra. The player may battle the Guard Leader with any of the three parties. He's the commander of Narshe's defense forces and fights alongside two Silver Lobos, overseeing the operation from the other side of the room.

Stats

Battle

The Guard Leader is flanked by two Silver Lobos, which are easily dispatched. When the Silver Lobos are alive, he will use Net to inflict Stop on one character, stopping them from most of the battle. Once the Silver Lobos are dead, Guard Leader begins attacking with Charge, a powerful physical attack.

If any of the three parties attempting to battle Guard Leader are defeated, they are revived with 1 HP per character. If the player wishes to steal multiple Mythril Knives, it is possible to repeatedly battle with Locke's group, and attempt a steal each time, then defeat Guard Leader with another group when ready to move on. However, having multiple copies of the knife is not really useful.

The Guard Leader is one of the few bosses to appear on the Veldt and have a Rage.

Strategy

One strategy is to fight with Mog's party, as Mog has the Twilight Requiem Dance that will kill the Guard Leader in one hit if he attacks with Snare.

Another strategy is to bring Locke's party so he can try to steal a Mythril Knife. However, the knife is not an essential, and the player can also unequip Mog before Locke engages the leader to keep his spear, useful to equip to a character that will join soon after this segment.
