Kefka ( final boss ) Kefka is the final boss of " Final Fantasy VI " , fought for the fifth and final time at the end of the game . Having become the God of Magic itself , Kefka faces the party after declaring his desire to destroy the bonds of life and end all existence . The party appears to fight Kefka in a setting that represents the Heavens . The final phase of the song , " Dancing Mad " , plays during the battle . Defeating Kefka in the mobile / Steam version earns the Balance is Restored achievement . Battle . The battle is fought in several stages . Kefka always uses Heartless Angel on his first turn , reducing the party ' s HP to 1 . He will most often use Firaga , Blizzaga and Thundaga , but will also use his special , a powerful physical attack called Havoc Wing , that has high power and can easily KO a character . Kefka will also use Trine , inflicting Blind and Silence on the party . The second stage begins once Kefka ' s HP has been reduced to 32 , 640 . Kefka will now begin using his ultimate attack , Forsaken . The attack begins with Kefka stating " " The end draws near . . . " " ( " " The end comes . . . beyond chaos . " " in the SNES / PlayStation versions ) , followed by a head representing Kefka ' s laughing expression appearing in front of him . His turn ends , and the background begins to shake . On his next turn , Kefka unleashes the attack , doing high non - elemental , unblockable magic damage to the entire party . Despite the preparation time , base power and animation , Forsaken doesn ' t inflict much damage as it doesn ' t ignore split damage or magic defense . By comparison , Ultima , which does ignore magic defense and has only two thirds of the spell power of Forsaken , does significantly more damage . After Forsaken ' s first use , Kefka will begin using two turns for Havoc Wing , Trine or Vengeance , which eliminates any positive status changes from the party . When Kefka ' s HP hits 30 , 080 , he will begin countering attacks with Hyperdrive ( unless he is charging Forsaken ) , a powerful magic attack that ignores defense and will likely kill its target . When Kefka ' s HP drops to 10 , 240 , his counterattack changes to Ultima . The final stage begins when Kefka has 7 , 680 HP left ; he will begin alternating between Forsaken and Meteor . He will continue to counter when he is not charging up Forsaken . Strategy . Since Kefka is the final boss , the player should use their strongest spells and attacks . Having a character with high magic power on standby to cast Curaga on the party is not a bad idea in case the player is caught off - guard , and buffing spells like Haste and Shell are useful . As long as the player keeps their HP high and does not trigger Kefka ' s Ultima counterattack , he should fall in time . It is advised to heal with Curaga immediately after Kefka uses Heartless Angel at the beginning of battle . The player should use Remedies to heal the negative statuses he inflicts . When Kefka is countering with Ultima , it is advised to only attack when Kefka is preparing Forsaken , as he will not counter when charging it . A cheap way to defeat Kefka is to have a character equipped with two Ultima Weapons ( possible if a second is stolen from Rest ) and a Master ' s Scroll . As the Ultima Weapons ignore defense , at a high enough level the character can kill Kefka in one attack — they will attack him eight times , each blow only needs to do a minimum of 8 , 000 damage to defeat Kefka in one turn . Using the Bahamut esper to boost the character ' s HP is a good way to get the HP needed for this type of damage output at a relatively low level . This will also work with Locke ' s Valiant Knife if he has high max HP and is on low health . Setzer ' s Fixed Dice also work with this strategy : with Setzer at only level 50 , a roll of triple fives or triple sixes will do 9 , 999 damage , and triple fours will still do high damage . Thus , with enough lucky rolls , Setzer can kill Kefka in two or three attacks regardless of level or attack strength . Using the Quick spell helps . Quick combined with Ultima , Soul of Thamasa and a Celestriad can kill all of Kefka ' s forms before he can even attack ; only when destroying parts their final attacks will happen . AI script .
