Stats / Weaknesses:

• HP: 520,000
• Overkill: 10,000 AP
• AP: 8,000

How to Unlock:

To even get a shot at fighting Jormungand, you'll need to capture at least one of every fiend found on the Djose Highroad. This includes:

• Basilisk
• Bite Bug
• Bunyip
• Garm
• Ochu
• Simurgh
• Snow Flan

Strategy:

Jormungand's signature move is 'Cold Stare,' which deals damage and inflicts petrification. If the damage would KO your character, they'll shatter and be ejected from the battle, so it's crucial to have Stoneproof armor on everyone. If you don't have Stoneproof, being limited to one or two characters against this beast is a recipe for disaster.

Its other main attack is 'Space-Time Vorpal,' which hits your entire party. Interestingly, Jormungand seems to prioritize attacking characters who are already petrified. While it boasts high magic defense, it's surprisingly susceptible to all the Breaks, even though it resists them. If you're aiming to inflict Breaks, Auron's Banishing Blade Overdrive is a solid choice. For Armor Break specifically, a Frag Grenade (either as an item or through Rikku's Mix) will do the trick.

Don't forget that Jormungand is also vulnerable to Slow, which can give your party a significant advantage by allowing you to get more turns in.

Item Drops:

• Common Drop: Supreme Gem (x2)
• Rare Drop: Dark Matter
• Common Steal: Petrify Grenade (x4)
• Rare Steal: Three Stars
