Zorn is a boss in Final Fantasy IX fought in Alexandria Castle along with Thorn.

Stats[]

Battle[]

The battle will end when one of them is defeated. Zorn and Thorn take turns charging up the other to cast a powerful spell on the party, but if the "charged" twin is attacked, the charge is canceled and the spell will not be cast.

Strategy[]

As the player has a time limit for the fight, it is best to target Thorn instead of Zorn, since he has less HP.
