- Max HP: 4,500

Strategy:
- Hein has a Barrier Change ability, which alters his weakness to Fire, Ice/Blizzard, or Lightning/Thunder.
- At the start of the fight, Hein has no initial weakness. Use powerful items like Antarctic/Arctic Winds, Bomb Fragments, or "-ra" spells.
- Use Libra (White Magic) or Study (Geomancer ability) to identify Hein's current weakness.
- Exploit his weakness with appropriate "-ra" spells or items (e.g., Arctic Wind for Ice weakness).
- Geomancy and general attacks are also effective. Barrage is good for Rangers.
