Template:Sideicon

Meltigemini is a Demon-type boss in Final Fantasy IX fought at the end of Mount Gulug dungeon. It is the amalgamation of Zorn and Thorn who meld into one after being defeated by Eiko and Madeen. Kuja states that Meltigemini is the twins' true form.

Stats

Battle

Zidane and Eiko are required party members, while Vivi is unavailable.

Meltigemini's Viral Smoke can inflict Virus, which prevents the party from gaining AP from the battle.

Strategy

Quina can cast Bad Breath since Meltigemini is vulnerable to Mini, Slow, and Darkness. Steiner should attack. Zidane should focus on stealing the Golden Hairpin before attacking. Amarant should throw.

Freya should jump or perhaps use Reis's Wind. Eiko should heal with Cura, although she may be able to get in a quick summon attack with Fenrir. If the player has proceeded far enough in the chocobo sidequest, Eiko could also use Holy. Dagger should focus on healing or attacking with her eidolons, although her unreliability at this time can make her a hindrance.

Using a Tent or two on Meltigemini at the beginning of the battle can prove useful, as it may spontaneously inflict Poison, Blind and Silence.
