Beelzebub is a boss guarding a treasure chest containing the Genji Armor in Pandaemonium in Final Fantasy II. Its insect-like appearance suggests that the creature is meant to be the demon of the same name appearing in Paradise Lost.

[edit] Strategy

Though Beelzebub has a powerful attack stat at his disposal, he tends to focus on spellcasting, so casting Shell and Wall spells on your party at the outset of the battle to guard against his deadly Flare 16 is very important. Once the magical defenses are in place, you may choose to put up physical defenses such as Protect, but the battle may not last long enough for them to make a difference. Avoid attacking with the Fire element, as he will absorb it. He also has a resistance to Ice, so just use your highest-level Lightning or non-elemental spells against him. If you have more than one warrior with the Basuna spell, you will be ready for his Muddle and Stun spells. Equip your strongest sword-wielder with a Blood Sword and attack mercilessly to see Beelzebub fall quickly.

[edit] Etymology

Beelzebub means "Lord of the Flies" in Hebrew and is a name often associated with the devil. It also appears in the book by William Golding of the same name (Lord Of the Flies) as the head of a slaughtered pig on a stake.
