Sphinxara is an optional boss in Final Fantasy VIII, encountered in the Ultimecia Castle's Entry Hall. It is fought directly after Sphinxaur has been defeated.

StatsEdit

BattleEdit

Once Sphinxaur is defeated, Sphinxara will take over and begin inflicting status ailments. Eventually it will call three allies to fight in its place; Jelleye, Forbidden, and finally the Tri-Face, however these can be easily dispatched one by one, leaving the monster vulnerable. Another way to save time with the Sphinxara's allies is to equip Sleep as a character's ST-Atk-J. Once Sphinxara is defeated, the ally disappears.
