Revision as of 22:47, 4 June 2016
Template:Sideicon Template:FFIX Enemy Template:See Also Maliris is a boss from Final Fantasy IX. The party fights her in Memoria.
Maliris is first seen as the Fire Guardian in the Fire Shrine. While she isn't fought then, she challenges Freya and Amarant and they fight her to place the mirror.
Maliris appears again in Memoria on the bridge leading to the memory of Alexandria being destroyed.
Battle
Maliris in battle.
Maliris frequently uses Fire magic, especially with her sword attacks. She also casts Mustard Bomb, which inflicts the Heat status. She casts Reflect on herself and will reflect Fire spells off herself to hit the party. When defeated, Maliris attacks with Raining Swords that will do about 4000 HP to all characters. She will not perform this if asleep and killed by a magic ability.
Strategy
Ice and Water magic is useful here, as are eidolons, such as Shiva and Leviathan.
If the party has Auto-Reflect, the player doesn't need to Dispel Maliris's Reflect status, merely reflect Blizzaga or Water off a character, or the whole party for a stronger effect. Zidane should steal all the items Maliris has, as they are hard to find elsewhere.
Most of the party should have their HP almost fully healed by the end of the battle to survive Maliris's Raining Swords, although it is recommended at least one of the player characters has Auto-Life.
Crystal World Incarnation
The translucent form of Maliris is considerably weaker, as she does not perform Raining Swords upon her defeat and has a substantially lower amount of HP. A constant barrage of Ice-elemental magic and physical attacks charged with the Devil Killer ability should be enough to bring this snake down quickly. Crystal Maliris doesn't give EXP.

Etymology
A marilith is fictional creature in many official Dungeons & Dragons campaign settings. A marilith is depicted as a powerful, six-armed female demon with the lower body of a snake. Mariliths in Dungeons & Dragons are based on Hindu mythology, where gods and demons frequently have multiple heads and arms.
Trivia
- Maliris is the only enemy in the game where the player can acquire (steal) one of the two pairs of Genji Armor.
- The other pair can be found with Choco by digging the Outer Island chocograph treasure.
