'''Wrexsoul''' is a boss in the game ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]''. It is a demon that is posessing [[Cyan Garamonde|Cyan]], and is causing his anger. [[Elaine and Owain Garamonde]] ask the party to defeat Wrexsoul for Cyan. It is flanked by two [[Soul Saver]]s.

== Battle ==
Wrexsoul starts off each battle by using an attack called [[List of Final Fantasy VI Enemy Abilities|Zinger]] ('''Fury''' in the Game Boy Advance release), which makes it disappear and possess a character's body. In order to get it to reappear, the character whom it possessed must be defeated. The Soul Savers can be defeated easily, however, 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 must be defeated quickly before it uses Zinger again. Another, easier way to defeat it is to simply use [[Banish|X-Zone]] on the Soul Savers, which defeats them and delays their final attack. However, defeating them this way means the player does not win Wrexsoul's [[Relic (Final Fantasy VI)|Pod Bracelet]].

This has no effect on the character, but Wrexsoul cannot be targeted. It won't reappear until the possessed character is considered [[Zombie (status)|Zombie]], [[Petrify (status)|petrified]], or [[Knocked Out|KO'ed]].

It is possible to defeat the Soul Savers permanently and never have to fight Wrexsoul.

In the mobile and [[Steam]] versions, the player can instantly kill Wrexsoul by [[Summon (command)#Final Fantasy VI|summoning]] [[Raiden (Final Fantasy VI)|Raiden]] when Wrexsoul has disappeared. The Soul Savers will die, and because Wrexsoul is not present, the game counts it as a victory.

PlayStation Bestiary entry
Wrexsoul's field sprite.

Wrexsoul is a boss in Final Fantasy VI. A monster formed of the countless souls lost in an ancient conflict, it latched onto Cyan due to his despair over what happened to Doma, the world, and to Elayne and Owain. It is flanked by two Soul Savers and feeds on Cyan's sorrow, anger, and hate.

Stats

Battle

Wrexsoul starts off using an attack called Fury, which makes it disappear and possess a character's body. This has no effect on the character, but Wrexsoul cannot be targeted. It won't reappear until the possessed character is considered Zombie, petrified, or KO'ed. The Soul Savers are weak and can be easily defeated, but they revive after every death.

Wrexsoul uses Thundaga. Its special attack, Doom Strike, is only used when sketched, or when Wrexsoul is confused.

Strategy

The player can equip Thunder Shields to tank Wrexsoul's Thundaga.

The easiest way to break a character's possession is to cast Break on them and cure the ailment with a Gold Needle or Esuna. The party members should petrify and heal themselves to force Wrexsoul to appear. Once he reappears, Wrexsoul can be attacked until it uses Fury again. This pattern repeats until the player defeats Wrexsoul.

It is possible to defeat the Soul Savers permanently and never have to fight Wrexsoul. Due to their final attack the Soul Savers revive when killed, but killing them via Banish stalls their final attack and prevents their revival—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 by Banish, the battle will end when he next uses Fury.

Another way to easily beat him is to have a character equipped with the Icebrand and a Gauntlet to attack him. Casting Ultima can also easily defeat him.

In the mobile and Steam versions, the player can instantly kill Wrexsoul by summoning Raiden when Wrexsoul has disappeared. The Soul Savers will die, and because Wrexsoul is not present, the game counts it as a victory.

Etymology

Wrexsoul's Japanese name (アレクソウル, Arekusouru?, lit. Alexsoul) suggests it is associated with the esper Alexander, the esper obtained upon Wrexsoul's defeat. The Japanese may be short for Alexander's Soul. Wrexsoul is sitting on the throne, and the Alexander magicite is found on the throne after its death. There is a possibility that Alexander might have become corrupted and became a monster during/end of the War of the Magi.

The name "Wrexsoul" was originally selected by 1994 Super Nintendo version translator Ted Woolsey.

The soul, in many religious, philosophical, psychological, and mythological traditions, is the incorporeal and, in many conceptions, immortal essence of a person, living thing, or object.
