Tips
  • Holy Dragon: This dragon uses Holy and Dispel. It is weak to Silence. Using Silence or Siren is effective. Having four Reflect Rings can also help, as Holy is a mild heal for it, and Dispel does not remove inherent effects. There is a 1 in 8 chance of obtaining a Crystal item if you use Ragnarok's Metamorphose.
  • Magic Master: This boss uses elemental spells (Fira, Firaga, Blizzara, Blizzaga, Thundara, Thundaga, Bio), Death, Silence, and Barrier Change. His final attack upon defeat is Ultima.
  • Magic Master Strategy 1 (Reflect Rings): Equip four Reflect Rings. Most of the Magic Master's spells will reflect back at him, damaging him. You can even cast Haste on him to speed up the process.
  • Magic Master Strategy 2 (Silence/Berserk): Use Silence or Siren to inflict Silence on the Magic Master, preventing him from casting spells. Alternatively, you can use Berserk on him, causing him to attack with physical strikes that deal minimal damage.
  • Magic Master Strategy 3 (Ultima Counter): The primary threat is the Magic Master's Ultima attack upon his death. To counter this, ensure at least one character has the Reraise spell active. This will automatically revive a fallen character, effectively guaranteeing victory.
  • Magic Master Strategy 4 (Flare/Ultima): While not detailed, the text mentions Flare and Ultima as potential offensive spells to use against the Magic Master.
  • Force Armor (found in the fourth area)
  • Soul of Thamasa (found in the fifth area)
  • Crystal item (rare drop from Holy Dragon via Metamorphose)
