Cloud: I couldn't finish 'em. Looks like this's gonna get complicated.
The following tables are incomplete for one or more reasons. If you wish, please examine the table and add anything missing. Remove this notice upon completion.
Necrophobe is invincible when the battle begins, as he is surrounded by four barriers. As long as he has a barrier, he cannot be the target of spells or attacks. His barriers will constantly attack the player party with strong magic and attacks, but Necrophobe himself does little.
Once the barriers are gone, Necrophobe should pose no real problem. He is weak to everything, meaning he will die quickly. The player should not kill him too quickly, though, or they will miss the scene with Gilgamesh, which will occur if Necrophobe has at least 10,000 HP left. Gilgamesh will sacrifice himself in an attempt to erase the last 10,000 HP from Necrophobe.
Despite the enemy name of "Necrophobe" in the Anthology release, battle messages will credit his speech to "Necrophobia".
The reason Necrophobe's HP is comprised of fours is based on a pun of the Japanese word for death, 死 (pronounced "she"). The same pronunciation is used for the number 4.
