Template:FFVIII Enemies Sphinxaur is a boss from Final Fantasy VIII, encountered in the Entry Hall of Ultimecia Castle. It is the first of the Sorceress' Eight Minions. Once 10,000 of Sphinxaur's HP is removed, its form will change into Sphinxara.
Battle
The battle is fought in two stages. Sphinxaur casts level three magic at the party which can be negated with the proper elemental junctions, so this half of the battle should pose little problems. Physical attacks are the only form of damage the party can inflict upon Sphinxaur, but this should pose little threat to a moderately developed party.
