The Elder Wyrm? God. My characters were easily at level 35-38 when I reached him and I still found it challenging. I'm just bad at strategy. =\

I remember facing him. He was quite diffulcult with that Spore attack. He also had his partners to help him out. Bleh. I am in the Jungle now and I am about level 20 for my main three characters. =). Larsa is 18 if I am not mistaken.

Having Larsa in my party always made things difficult. Normally it's great having an extra hand, but he was actually about 5 levels lower than the rest of my party every time that he accompanied me. That and you cant buy licenses for him so his HP was horrendously low. In the fight with the Elder Wyrm, my mage kept casting Raise on him because he died off so quickly. I found it was easier to keep him dead.

By the way...while you're in the golomore jungle...make a good Panter chain. By the time you reach a chain of around 70 Panters, you should have 99 courel pelts in your inventory. They sell for 40,000 gil alltogether and should buy you some decent armor and magic.

Hohoho, Good deal. Larsa had those unlimited Hi-Potions. Those came in handy at times.

I thought the other wyrm was harder then the Elder Wyrm. =/. I forgot it's name. The one in the Henne Mines.

I think it's just called Wyrm...I think...the one you fight while looking for Myrn....Myrn? Or is it Mjrn?

No I definitely found the Elder Wyrm harder. I hate status attacks. XD

I was glad that you could actually use status magic on bosses in this game. In the other FFs I virtually never used spells like slow or blind. XD

Well...actually, I never tried to use status spells on bosses. Throughout the FF history you've never been able to cast status spells on the Big Bosses.

I liked how you could Dispel any boss from it's protections and such.

Lol thats why you should keep someone away from eldar wyrm so they avoid sporefall
The wyrm in henne mines was called tiamat and he was easy since all he did was normal attacks

I always have my mage equipped with a bow so she won't get too close to enemies. =]

The hardest enemies are the ones who hit you with confuse, sap, or sleep all at once. One of the hardest bosses I found was the Mandragoras in the Sochen Cave Palace. The first time I played the game...god...they slaughtered me nearly 5 times.

hmm they are annoying because if you don't kill them fast enough they become almost impossible to hit due to one of their abilities that increases their evasion

Now if you add etem to the list of annoying ones then he'll come near the top.
His stupid mp 0 ability
