Boss Strategy: Bahamut
Bahamut is one of the most iconic and powerful summons in the Final Fantasy series. His signature attack, Mega Flare, deals massive non-elemental damage to your entire party. To defeat him, focus on maximizing your damage output while maintaining constant healing. Haste and Protect spells are highly recommended. Bahamut has no particular elemental weakness, so use your strongest physical attacks and non-elemental magic. Having a high-level White Mage with Curaga or Curaja is essential. After a grueling battle, defeating Bahamut will grant you the Bahamut summon, a devastating offensive spell that can turn the tide of any future encounter. This is a significant power boost for any Summoner in your party.
