Scarmiglione (Final Fantasy IV)

From Final Fantasy Wiki

Scarmiglione, originally known as Milon in the SNES translation and PlayStation port, is a storyline boss from Final Fantasy IV. A vile monster known as the Blighted Despot, he appears as one of Golbez's Archfiends. He is fought three times by the party (twice in a row early in the story), and takes on more than one form. He is an undead enemy, and thus is weak to Fire and healing spells.

In this battle, Scarmiglione is accompanied by a vast number of Skullnants and counters every attack that hits him with Thunder on one member of the party at random. After ridding the battlefield of Skullnants, he shouldn't be hard to beat, but the real fight comes after this one.

This is the second form of Scarmiglione. There are no monsters accompanying it but he has a very strong physical attack and now may inflict curse, blind and other status effects. Make sure you have plenty of Echo Herbs on hand, as he will often cast Silence. Have Tellah and Porom use Cura/Cure on Scarmiglione (and the other characters, when they need healing), and use Potions with the rest of the characters. You can alternatively use Fire spells with Tellah and Palom, but Scarmiglione will retaliate with his various status effects or his special Gas attack, causing comparatively more problems for your party.

This battle is also a Back Attack battle, so it would be wise to invert your party lineup before-hand.
