Uses Zinger to possess one of the party, remaining hidden until that character is Wounded. Careful of long battles where he Wounds your party one-by-one.

Final Fantasy VI Playstation One Bestiary entry
Wrexsoul's field sprite

Wrexsoul is a boss in Final Fantasy VI. It is a demon, a composite monster formed from wretched spirits who were dispatched in meaningless wars, that is possessing Cyan to feed on his hatred, despair, and guilt for the deaths of the people of Doma Castle. It is flanked by two Soul Savers.

Battle

Wrexsoul starts off each battle by using an attack called Fury, which makes it disappear and possess a character's body. In order to get it to reappear, the character whom it possessed must be petrified or KOed. The Soul Savers can be defeated easily, but they revive every time they are defeated. As such, the party members must defeat and revive each other until Wrexsoul reappears. Once this happens, Wrexsoul can be attacked until it uses Fury again. This pattern repeats until the player is able to kill Wrexsoul completely.

Wrexsoul's special attack, Doom Strike, is only used when sketched or Wrexsoul is confused.

Strategy

It is possible to defeat the two Soul Savers permanently and never have to fight Wrexsoul. Due to their final attack the Soul Savers automatically revive when killed, but if the player kills them using Banish, this stalls their final attack and so they never revived - when both Soul Savers are killed by Banish the battle ends and Wrexsoul is considered defeated. However winning this way forsakes the Guard Bracelet Wrexsoul drops. If Wrexsoul is present when both Soul Savers are killed this way, the battle will automatically end when he next uses Fury.

Another way to easily beat him is to have a character equipped with Icebrand & gauntlet to attack him.

Etymology

WrexSoul's Japanese name, アレクソウル Arekusouru, looks like "Alex Soul", and may be associated with the Esper Alexander which can be obtained immediately after defeating WrexSoul. The name "WrexSoul" was originally selected by 1994 Super NES version translator Ted Woolsey.
