Battle

Phoenix is a flying enemy, so the party must use ranged weapons (poles and spears work in the Zodiac versions), magick, Technicks or attack items. Phoenix can shift its elemental weakness, so one must pay attention to what element is hurting it. It is always weak against one element and absorbs all other elements. Like the Garuda, Phoenix is weak against Eksir Berries.

Strategy

It is useful to be at least 5–6 levels higher than Phoenix, have strong ranged weapons and armor, and gambits set for Arise, Curaja, Steal and the highest Black Magicks spells available. Dispel assists, and Scathe and Scourge help in bringing it down.

The party can cast Oil on Phoenix with the Nihopalaoa trick by using a Remedy and Handkerchief, and do extra damage when it becomes vulnerable to Fire. Another surefire way to inflict Phoenix with Oil is to cast the spell with the Indigo Pendant equipped. With the Oil+Fire strategy it helps to equip the Flame Staff or the Burning Bow, they empower Fire.

Etymology and symbolism

In Greek mythology, a phoenix or phenix (Greek: φοῖνιξ phoinix; Latin: phoenix, phœnix, fenix) is a long-lived bird that is cyclically regenerated or reborn. Associated with the sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor. According to some sources, the phoenix dies in a show of flames and combustion, although there are other sources that claim that the legendary bird dies and simply decomposes before being born again. According to some texts, the phoenix could live over 1,400 years before rebirth.

Phoenix, along with the other three bosses Shadowseer summons, refer to the Sì Xiàng, four mythical Chinese beasts that correspond to the four directions of the compass. Phoenix refers to the Vermilion Bird of the South (Zhu Que).
