Ultros ( Final Fantasy VI boss ) Ultros is an enemy in " Final Fantasy VI " that the party fights four times . He is , for the most part , a comic relief villain . Battles . First battle . Ultros uses his Tentacle and Ink attacks as in all subsequent encounters . Unlike other battles , Ultros uses his Tentacle attack in a set pattern : he attacks Terra , then Sabin , then a group - Tentacle with a follow - up singular Tentacle on a random party member , then finally a Tentacle against Banon . Because of Banon ' s Pray power , most of Ultros ' attacks besides Tentacle are negligible . Because the party automatically loses when Banon is KO ' d , the trick is to kill Ultros before he attacks Banon , although if Banon is of a high enough level and / or in the back row , he can survive Ultros ' Tentacle in which case the battle is easy . In the GBA version of this fight , Ultros will counter all offensive magical attacks with Ink , which damages and has a chance to Blind the party . This reduces Terra ' s effectiveness as an attacker in this fight . If someone uses a Fire spell on him , he will say , " Yeowch ! Seafood soup ! " in the original translation . In the GBA translation , he says , " Yeeeouch ! Seafood soup is NOT on the menu ! " AI script . If Timer > = 10 : If Timer > = 10 : Attack Turns : 1st Turn : Target : All Characters 2nd Turn : Attack ( 100 % ) 3rd Turn : : Target : Banon If attacked by anything Fire - elemental : Second battle . Ultros uses his Tentacle and Ink attacks , and can use L . 3 Muddle and Imp Song to inflict status ailments on the party , and uses Acid Rain . Due to Ultros ' lower HP than the previous battle , and the party ' s increased ability to use magic , he is ultimately a mere nuisance . Ultros regains all of his HP whenever he changes locations , so the best strategy is to deal a large amount of damage in a single round . Strategy . Sabin ' s Fire Knuckle is extremely effective , as Ultros is weak to Fire and the battle is a side - attack : with a high - enough level and a Hyper Wrist , Sabin can kill Ultros in a single hit . Otherwise , Siren ' s Fire spell is very effective . Cyan can also be helpful if he has learned his Empowerer Bushido technique , and Gau works wonders if he has learned his Gold Bear and / or Stray Cat Rages , as he can deal heavy damage with Gouge and / or Cat Scratch . His Soldier rage is also good for its Fire ability , and having Templar can kill Ultros in one hit with Fire2 . AI script . Ultro ' s AI script is set to change his position every two turns by increasing a hidden variable each time he attacks . He moves about in the following pattern : middle , lower left , top , lower right , top , middle , lower right , top , lower left . After changing positions 8 times he will stop permanently . Depending on where Ultros is , he uses different attacks each turn . If Timer > = 60 : If Ultros is in middle of field : If Ultros is at top of field : If Ultros is at lower left of field : If Ultros is at lower right of field : If attacked by " Bushido " or " Blitz " : Acid Rain ( 100 % ) Third battle . Ultros uses his Tentacle and Ink attacks and slowly moves closer to the party and moves back as he takes damage . Ultros also has other attacks like Stone , which damages and Confuses targets ; and Hailstone , which reduces the target ' s HP to 25 % of their current HP . The true danger comes from his " tri - elemental attack " — once Ultros is struck with three elemental spells of the same element , he will glow red and from then on counter - attacks any elemental spell with the Level 3 of that spell ( for example , Firaga to counter Fire , Thundaga to counter Thundara , etc . ) He also casts Protect and Haste on himself later in the battle . Despite his powerful attacks and high HP , which make him the strongest of his four battles with the party , Ultros is fairly simple to defeat as long as magic is used sparingly to avoid his counter - spells . When he has taken enough damage , Relm appears and joins the battle . Upon using Sketch on Ultros , she shows him what he looks like and Ultros is so horrified he flees . AI script . If HP < = 15360 ( only done once per battle ) : If Timer > = 60 : If Var1 < 8 : If Var1 > = 8 : If attacked by anything : If attacked by " Tentacle " : If Var3 > = 8 : If attacked by " Attack " : Increase Var3 by 1 If Var0 is set : If Var4 is set : If attacked by " Magic " : If Var4 is not set : Fourth battle . Ultros uses his Tentacle and Ink attacks as in all previous encounters . After taking several thousand damage he calls in Typhon . The battle ends when Typhon is killed ; defeating Ultros is not required . With his low defenses and poor attacks he is easy to defeat despite his high HP . Defeating him here in the mobile / Steam version earns the Enough Already ! achievement . AI script .
