The Sandcrawler is an enemy in Final Fantasy V met in the large desert south of Moogle Village. The moogle the party follows to the village tells not to enter the sand, probably because of this overpowering enemy.
Stats[]
Battle[]
Sandcrawler frequently uses Maelstrom to reduce the party's HP to single digits. They have plenty of HP compared to other enemies in the area but, due to being desert monsters, are weak against Aqua Breath.
Strategy[]
An easy win involves using a Mystic Knight, or someone equipped Spellblade at job level 5, use Break on the Spellblade to kill the Sandcrawler instantly. Another effective strategy is using a Knight, or any character with an equipped Cover ability, to take the damage from the Sandcrawler's attacks and keeping their HP at a safe level with healing spells or items. This keeps the other characters out of danger even at the low HP levels caused by Maelstrom. With this strategy, it is possible to defeat a Sandcrawler even with a party that lacks offensive magic.
