Destroyer ( Chocobo series ) The Destroyer is the main antagonist in " " . He is really Raffaello when he is possessed by his darkness , the Sacred Beast of Darkness , who was originally the sacred beast to the Oracle of Darkness . Story . Driven by his lust for suffering , the Destroyer went berserk with intent to destroy the world . In response , the three other Oracles sealed him away by creating a barrier to keep Lostime hidden from the outside world and the Bell of Oblivion , placing its denizens in a state of forgetfulness to ensure the Destroyer would never regain his power . However , the Destroyer placed a monkey wrench into this plan by leaving his Crystal of Dark Destruction , later known in history as Timeless Power , behind in the outside world to attract an ideal pawn unaffected by Lostime to serve him without full knowledge of his actions . Finding such a pawn in Chocobo , the Destroyer assumed the guise of an infant whom the residents regarded as a savior . However , as he has no memories of being the Destroyer , Raffaello developed into his own personality . Each time Raffaello matured upon each guardian defeated , the boy feels more of the Destroyer awakening inside him and having mixed feelings about it . By the time Alexander is defeated , the Destroyer takes full control over the fully grown Raffaello , restoring everyone ' s memories before assuming his Priest of Darkness form and absorbing Croma ' s essence . He then challenges Chocobo to chase after him into his lair , the Floating Fortress . During battle , Raffaello tries to fight back his hold , giving Chocobo the upper hand to prevail . As the Destroyer was defeated , both Raffaello and Croma were freed from his hold . Battle . The encounter fight is scripted in the beginning . In his Priest of Darkness form , he deals 9999 damage to Chocobo , resulting in a one - hit KO . After the oracles send their prayers , the real battle begins . Throughout both fights , a special healing circle sits in the center of the floor . This " trap " heals Chocobo ' s SP , but has a chance of failing . As adult Raffaello , the Destroyer is able to use High Speed , which allows him to close any gap between himself and Chocobo . He is also capable of using Magic Blade , a non - physical attack that can strike Chocobo from anywhere on the grid . On some occasions , he may spend a few turns charging up for Multi - Slash , an attack that can knock Chocobo back a few spaces , or Aerial Blade . After defeating the first form , the Destroyer assumes his true form and the second battle begins . All of his abilities are labeled Berserk and have different effects . He may either warp to another spot on the floor , drain Chocobo ' s SP , rain down energy beams that affect the whole area , or slam Chocobo with the claws junctioned on his back . It should be noted , though , that his attacks have a tendency to miss . If Chocobo uses the oracles ' circle in the center , the Destroyer will hurl a black cloud , knocking him out of it and rendering it unusable for a few turns . Like his first form , he can spend a few turns charging up for a powerful attack that can also create a black cloud over the circle if in range . Every now and then , a message will appear saying , " The soul of the Destroyer is resisting . " During this time , the Destroyer cannot do anything , giving Chocobo an opportunity to either strike or recover before he is able to move again . Both forms can be refought in the Mirror of Memories after clearing the game , though they yield no experience points . The scripted battle is also skipped for the rematch .
