Tiamat is a boss in Final Fantasy II that resembles the Wind Fiend from the original Final Fantasy. It is found in Pandaemonium guarding a treasure chest that contains the Genji Helm. It can also be found in the last floor of the Arcane Labyrinth's northwest section.

[edit] Strategy

Tiamat tends to be somewhat of a more straightforward fight than the other bosses in Pandaemonium. It has very powerful stats, but it doesn't do anything special beyond casting high-level spells of each major Element (Blaze XVI, Icestorm XVI, Thunderbolt XVI, and Poison Mist XVI) and landing heavy physical blows. Put up any magical barriers that you believe will help you, and cast Stun or Slow if you feel like afflicting Tiamat with any status effects. Cast Cure on your party often, and hammer at its HP with your strongest Blood Sword wielder. Tiamat is pretty resistant to most anything you throw at it, so the fight could take a while. Avoid throwing elemental spells at her, since it will absorb any of them. Instead, try blasting her with Ultima or Flare. If you can keep everyone healthy, Tiamat will eventually fall.
