Mobliz

Learn how to defeat the Humbaba boss in Final Fantasy VI, including its attacks, weaknesses, and the best strategies for Celes and Sabin. Get the Fenrir Esper afterward!

Alright, so you've made it to Mobliz, and you've got a tough fight ahead against a boss called Humbaba. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it!

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Humbaba: Basic Attack, Solar Plexus (3x power), 1,000 Needles (1,000 damage), Thundara, Thundaga.

Strategy:

• When the fight starts, immediately summon the Kirin Esper to give your party Regen, and Zona Seeker to boost your Magic Defense. This will help you survive Humbaba's powerful magical attacks.
• Have Celes focus on offensive magic. Bio is a great choice, or any "-ra" elemental spell, but avoid Thundara since Humbaba might resist it. She'll need to switch to healing duties with Cura when the party's health gets low.
• Sabin should unleash his preferred Blitz techniques. If he's equipped with Venom Claws, a basic Attack might even be stronger, so check his damage output. If he somehow learned Bio, give that a try too and see if it outdamages his physical attacks.

After you manage to defeat Humbaba, Terra will still be hesitant to join you, using the fight as an example of why she's scared. As you leave the area, you'll be rewarded with the Fenrir Magicite. Fenrir isn't an offensive Esper, but it can make you invulnerable for a few hits, which is super useful!

Once you're done here, make sure to heal up in the back of the old Relic shop. Then, head back to the overworld map and make your way to the northernmost part of the Serpent Trench. Your next destination is the town of Nikeah.
