Chronodia Chronodia is a superboss from the original " Final Fantasy " found only in the " 20th Anniversary " remake and subsequent versions of the game based on it . She awaits players brave enough to venture to the deepest level of the Labyrinth of Time . There are eight different ways to get through the labyrinth , and thus eight different versions of Chronodia to fight . Battle . Chronodia appears to be a monstrous woman with various appendages protecting a sphere , which is surrounded by the Four Fiends , which served as bosses earlier in the game . The weakest version ( # 196 in the bestiary ) has no fiends " attached " , while the strongest version ( # 203 in the bestiary ) has all the fiends , and what looks like a head of Chaos coming out of Chronodia ' s hair , along with various extra weapons surrounding her . The more attachments , the stronger Chronodia becomes , as if she absorbs their energy . Chronodia gains more attachments the more Blue Seals the player has instead of Red Seals . Every version of Chronodia has the following two abilities : For spells and enemy abilities , each version uses a different subset of the following attacks : For # 203 , her spell cycle is as follows : And her skill cycle is : As mentioned before , Chronodia always uses Seal every fifth turn . This action is independent of her ability cycles and does not advance her current placement in either the spell or skill list . As a result , she breaks the normal maximum of 4 entries in her skill list . When all commands are available to the player , the seal has worn off , which provides an indication that Chronodia will use Seal in the next turn . Since Seal does no damage , no healing spells are needed , meaning the player gets a " free " round for attacking with everyone . Strategy . While Chronodia is tougher than Omega and Shinryu , the strategies used to fight her are similar : The player should make sure they use the healing pot in the room before the battle to clear status effect s and restore HP and MP . If the party ' s level is low , or Chronodia ' s using Haste , it is not worth bothering buffing the party , as they will be killed in one hit anyway . The player should concentrate on keeping the party alive in this case . Otherwise , Saber / Haste / Temper / Speed Drink / Strength Tonic are great for the melee members and Protera / Invisira / Blink / Protect Drink / NulAll are great protection for everyone . These can be achieved using magic and / or items . The player should use Healaga if possible , and otherwise use a Rune Staff or Potion ( X - Potions if the party has enough ) . If someone is knocked out the player should bring them back to life as soon as possible using Full - Life , Phoenix Down or Sage ' s Staff . The higher versions of Chronodia have high Defense , severely lowering melee attacks ' damage . If these characters are not buffed they will be almost useless for attacking . Magic ( non - elemental ) seems to do the best damage . If the player is unable to buff the melee characters ( because they die too often ) , at least they should use items to attack with magic ( such as the Judgment Staff and Lightbringer ) , or heal . It would be a good idea to have three Judgment Staves in the inventory , and to have one on the Black Wizard . This way , when a Seal blocks the party ' s magic or attack , it is still possible to hit the boss hard . The fight is easy until a Seal blocks White Magic ; this can be dangerous if the party does not have enough healing items . Temper , Protera , and Invisira all stack , so casting each multiple times can help . A few Proteras can reduce Chronodia ' s attack to under 200 damage , and Temper stacking can up the characters ' attack power to well over 4 , 000 . Versions .
