Deumion Deumion is a non - playable character in the " 20th Anniversary " edition of " Final Fantasy II " . He is an amazingly powerful wizard with the ability to summon holy creatures , and was chosen to be the guardian of the ultimate magic , Destroy . His status as guardian keeps him eternally young . He appears in the Arcane Labyrinth sidequest as the guardian of the Arcane Sanctuary . He will give the party their ultimate weapons after Phrekyos is defeated . He will reward the party with the Revive spell if he is given the Light of Hope after prompting him with the Hope , or relinquishing Destroy if the party wishes for destruction . His story is told in four related levels of the Arcane Labyrinth stemming from the Jade Passage keyword : Oblivion , Hope , Destruction , and Guardian . His story is implied to have taken place far before the actual events of the game . Key Terms . Oblivion . The player starts in an ancient village called Perseria . When the player attempts to move , a soldier appears and states that the enemy forces have begun their attack on the village . The skies turn red , and the villagers scramble . As the player walks around , they can talk to a woman who tells them that she has lost her son , who has platinum blond hair and a blue bandanna . There are many children fitting this description , and if the player can manage to locate the correct child , the mother will appear to collect her child , revealing his name to be Deumion . As the player tries to move again , he comes back and thanks them , telling them to hold onto their Hope , the next Key Term in the sequence . Hope . This level is set in a cave guarded by soldiers that differ from the ones present in the last level . As the player proceeds into the cave , they are eventually cornered by these troops . They are then saved by a man with platinum blond hair and a blue bandanna wearing a cape , an older Deumion . He uses magic on the soldiers , who then collapse . He tells the party that he would rather not use his gift for Destruction . If the soldiers Deumion attacked are examined , it is found they are merely unconscious , showing Deumion ' s unwillingness to kill . Destruction . The party starts off in a castle . Following the available path leads to a throne room with a king and many robed people . If all these people are talked to , it is revealed that they are in a war time counsel to find a way to achieve peace with their enemy . More exploration leads to a mage claiming to be very close to making the ultimate magic . He asks the party to bring him the three colors of Magicite so he can finish his experiment . If the player does bring him the three Magicite , he will combine them into the Destruction magic and tell Firion to alert the king . When you do alert the king , he responds to the news with reluctance , as his kingdom has just reached a peace agreement with its enemies . He then comes to the decision that to make sure this new power is not used for evil , it will be sealed away by a very powerful magic . The elders start to disagree , saying that the seal required would be too powerful , halting time itself , and it would require someone with great power to serve as its Guardian to keep the magic safe as a last defense . The point is brought up that anyone who had such power is now dead . Then , one elder remembers a boy in his village who has such power , and can even summon holy beasts . This boy is none other than Deumion . The King approves this and commands that his guards go and find Deumion , while the elders prepare the seal . Guardian . This level takes place back in Perseria . At first , all ways leading away from the starting point are blocked by soldiers . Two particular soldiers stand at the southern point . A boy next to the player says that they are here to find Deumion and take him away . He then tells the player that if they want to say goodbye , they should do so before Deumion is captured by the soldiers . This stage is exceptionally hard to complete , as it requires moving to the right locations to beat the guards to Deumion . If done correctly , the player will witness a scene inside of Deumion ' s house , which is located in the southwestern corner of the town , between him and his mother . Then , upon leaving the house , the guards enter and take Deumion away . If the level was done correctly , a small glittering object can be found on the path by which the soldiers lead Deumion out . This item is the Light of Hope , an item necessary for obtaining the Restore magic . After the events in this stage , it is assumed that Deumion was taken to the Arcane Sanctuary and turned into the seal . He remained within the Sanctuary for a countless period of time , not aging due the seal ' s affects and serving his purpose as its guardian . When the player meets Deumion they have the option of fighting him , and if victorious Deumion will crawl after the player as they approach the Destroy tome in the room behind him , eventually collapsing and dying . Gameplay . Deumion can be fought right after Phrekyos in the Arcane Sanctuary , if the player asks him about Destruction . Defeating him will give the party access to the ultimate magic , but will also prevent it from obtaining any other reward from Deumion . Etymology . It is possible his name comes from " Damyan " ( Bulgarian ) and " Damon " ( Greek ) , both meaning " to tame . " The name " Damion " is used in the English language as a variant of " Damien " or " Damian , " which also means " to tame . " Should this be the origin of Deumion ' s name , it could be an allusion to him being a Summoner and thus " taming " creatures . In the " Omen " series of films , Damien was the son of Satan , making it possible that it refers to the Emperor getting his powers from Satan ( according to the novelization . )
