Dadaluma (Final Fantasy VI)

Template:Sideicon Template:FFVI Enemy

Dadaluma attacks with ShockWave and uses Potions. If the battle drags on, he'll call allies, so focus your attacks on him first.

PlayStation Bestiary entry

Dadaluma is a boss in Final Fantasy VI. He appears in Zozo, guarding the door to the room leading to Terra and the esper Ramuh.

Battle

Normally Dadaluma only uses normal attacks, his special attack Sweepkick and the weak Shockwave attack. When Dadaluma is hit with the Fight command four times, he will counter by Throwing either a Mythril Knife or a Dagger at a random party member, twice. If he is hit with Magic twice he will counter by throwing either a Mythril Knife or a Dagger before using Jump, which will make him temporarily invulnerable. All of these counters are very powerful and can kill a party member easily. Both can be avoided by using Blitz, Bushido, Tools, and Rage, which do not increase the variable that determines when Dadaluma uses his counters.

Every 30 seconds, Dadaluma will whistle for two Iron Fists to join him if he is alone to help him, but they should not pose a problem to the player. Once his HP reaches 1,920 or lower, he will either use a Potion or a Hi-Potion three times and cast Protect on himself. If the player brings Locke to the fight, they can steal a Thief's Bracer, a rare Relic this early in the game.

If a player has Celes ready with her Runic ability at the correct time, she can cancel/absorb Dadaluma's attempt at casting Protect, and thus hasten Dadaluma's defeat considerably.
