Battle[]
Wyvern Lord is a flying enemy, meaning the party can only attack it with magick, ranged weapons (spears/poles work in the Zodiac versions), the Technicks or Quickenings or attack items. Wyvern Lord is vulnerable to Sleep and Immobilize. Its Breath attack is strong, but used only once. Its attacks are mainly wind-elemental and it absorbs wind itself, being weak to earth.
Strategy[]
If the party inflicts the Wyvern Lord with Sleep, they can bombard it with magick without it waking up. The player can bestow the party with Reflect and then reflect area-off-effect magick off the party to hit the boss multiple times per casting. The Wyvern Lord's attacks can be defended against with Windbreakers.
The rare steal from Wyvern Lord is the Wyvern Wing. Two are needed for the Bazaar item Arcturus. If the player fails to steal it, they can zone two areas away and return to try again. Player could make use of the Immobilize glitch to keep one character near the zone to the south so as to keep from having to walk all the way back upon failing to steal.
Rewards[]
