Kaiser Dragon ( Final Fantasy VI ) Kaiser Dragon , also known as simply Kaiser , is a superboss in the " Final Fantasy VI " Advance and mobile releases . It is the " master " of the eight legendary dragons fought in the deepest part of Dragons ' Den , and is easily the strongest enemy in the game . Kaiser Dragon is found in a chamber only accessibly by using all three parties to hit a series of switches in the depths of the dungeon . Defeating Kaiser Dragon opens a room behind him containing the Diabolos magicite , and unlocks the Soul Shrine . By utilizing the Kaiser Dragon Glitch the player can get to the magicite without having to fight Kaiser Dragon . Defeating Kaiser Dragon in the mobile / Steam version earns the Master of Dragons achievement . Battle . Kaiser Dragon has five " lives " with 65 , 500 HP for each " life . " Every time he uses Barrier Change , Kaiser Dragon will lose a life and begin his next life at its full 65 , 500 HP . He has nine different attack patterns that are randomly chosen whenever he uses Barrier Change . Kaiser Dragon will use Barrier Change whenever the HP of one of his lives is depleted . He will also automatically use it if enough time has passed . When Kaiser Dragon has lost four lives , either through HP depletion or when enough time has passed , he will shift to a tenth , final attack pattern . He is defeated when this fifth life is depleted by the player . Strategy . It is recommended to equip as much elemental - resisting equipment as possible , since many of Kaiser Dragon ' s attacks are elemental . The Paladin ' s Shield , Minerva Bustier , Cat - Ear Hood , and Force Armor all work , so does the Aegis Shield due to its high potential for blocking magical attacks outright . Ribbons will help against his status attacks . Any magic boosting relics like the Celestriad and Soul of Thamasa should be equipped on the party ' s mages , while physical fighters should use the Master ' s Scroll . Mages should use Quick and cast Ultima , while physical fighters should attack with defense - ignoring weapons like the Ultima Weapon and the Valiant Knife to pierce Kaiser Dragon ' s high defenses , preferably while using the Master ' s Scroll . At least one party member should be dedicated to buffing the party with spells like Reraise , Hastega , Protect and Shell , and healing with Curaga after Kaiser Dragon attacks to keep the party ' s HP high . It is advantageous to attack Kaiser Dragon as much as possible when it is in the status - ailment - inflicting stage ( listed as fourth on the chart below ) , because it will only counter attacks with Bio , which does low damage compared to his other attacks , and the Poison status will be blocked by the Ribbons the party is wearing , or is otherwise easily healed . When Kaiser Dragon restores his HP for the final time , it is highly recommended at least one party member be under the effects of Reraise , as Kaiser Dragon casts Ultima when killed , doing massive damage to the entire party , easily capable of killing them . If the party keep themselves alive without attacking Kaiser Dragon , he ' ll move on to his last stage by himself and the player only needs to deal the last 65 , 500 damage instead of 327 , 500 . One will know Kaiser Dragon has moved to his last battle stage when he uses Heartless Angel or Mind Blast . It might make the battle a bit easier , since one needn ' t worry about attacking the dragon in his elemental phases , and need to just focus on the healing . The following is a list of Kaiser Dragon ' s nine possible attack patterns during his first four lives . The tenth form , labeled " Last Stage " in the table , is always Kaiser Dragon ' s final form , occurring when his HP has been depleted four times . He remains in this form until finally dispatched . For more information on Kaiser Dragon ' s various attacks , see List of Final Fantasy VI enemy abilities . Dummied enemy . Kaiser Dragon is a retooled version of the dummied CzarDragon . CzarDragon was intended to be a superboss in the game ' s original SNES release , and bears many similarities to Kaiser Dragon including color scheme , name ( Kaiser Dragon and CzarDragon share the same Japanese name , and " Kaiser " and " Czar " are German and Russian terms , respectively , for " Emperor " , both derived from the Latin " Caesar " ) , and role as the " master " of the eight legendary dragons . CzarDragon , along with rematches with the eight dragons , was dummied out of the game and can only be found by hacking the game data , where only its stats and sprites can be found with a short monologue to be given at the start of the battle . Kaiser Dragon ' s sprite is heavily modified compared to CzarDragon ' s sprite . Kaiser Dragon ' s sprite has spikes along the back , a longer tail , a longer mane , wings , and additional horns . The dummied CzarDragon ' s name was changed to Kaiser Dragon in the GBA port , giving the game two Kaiser Dragons , but one inaccessible through normal means .
