Learn how to defeat the Ralvurahva boss in Final Fantasy IX. Get tips on Dagger's Blind spell, Marcus's stealing, and Steiner's attacks to get the Bone Wrist and Mythril Fork.

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • Ralvurahva
  • HP: Unknown (but not a lot)
  • Weaknesses: Unknown (likely none significant)
  • Ailments Inflicted: Poison (Devil's Kiss), Slow (String), Blizzara (magic damage)

Phases:

  1. Phase 1: Steal and Debuff
    The boss will use Devil's Kiss (can inflict Poison), String (inflicts Slow), and Blizzara. The main goal here is to debuff the boss and steal the key items.

Strategy:

  • As soon as the fight starts, have Dagger cast Blind on Ralvurahva. Keep casting it until it sticks! This will make some of its attacks, especially Devil's Kiss, miss more often.
  • While Dagger is busy with Blind, have Marcus start stealing. You absolutely want to get the Bone Wrist and the Mythril Fork from this boss. Don't stop stealing until you have both!
  • Steiner can just go all out with his attacks. He's your main damage dealer here.
  • Once you've secured both stolen items, you can focus on taking down Ralvurahva's health.
  • Be aware that Devil's Kiss can inflict Poison. If you have Dagger and Steiner equipped with Antibody, they'll be immune, but Marcus can't equip abilities, so he's vulnerable.
  • String will inflict Slow, which can really slow down your party's actions.
  • Blizzara hits for about 110+ damage to a single target, so keep an eye on your HP.
  • After the fight, you'll finally arrive back in Alexandria.
