The Plague is a boss in the Advance and now-discontinued 2014 Matrix Software versions of Final Fantasy VI. It is based on the Plague boss in Final Fantasy IV.
Stats[]
Battle[]
Plague casts doom on the party at the start of the battle, giving the player less than twenty seconds to defeat it before their party members die. Plague uses Haste on the party to make the doom timer count down faster, and Gaze to inflict confuse on a party member, and this attack ignores immunity to status ailments. Although reraise can be used to revive party members after the doom timers expire, Plague then uses physical attacks that may kill anyone who survives, but it does not use Doom more than once. With only 22,000 HP, Plague is weaker than most of the normal enemies the player has faced in Dragons' Den up to this point, and so the player should have no trouble killing it before the Doom counters hit zero.
Defeating Plague rewards the party with Relm's ultimate weapon, the Angel Brush.
