Adamantoise ( Dimensions enemy ) Adamantoise is one of three post - game superbosses in " Final Fantasy Dimensions " . Defeating it gives the party one to three pieces of Adamantite . Adamantites can be used to craft to 9 powerful gears . Adamantoise gains a level every two times it is defeated , up to a maximum level of six after being defeated ten times . Adamantoise is considered to be one of the most dangerous opponents in " Dimensions " . Battle . Adamantoise uses several familiar attacks from various enemies but with much higher damage such as Carapace , Bite and Quake . It can also use Roar to Stun a target and Brain Crush to inflict Berserk and Confuse to an ally , not to mention Bite can cause Poison and Confuse . It most powerful attack is Temblor , which is twice as powerful as Quake . Strategy . As a superboss , the enemy cannot be vanquished without proper setup of offensive , supportive and curative party members . The enemy usually combines two moves , including his physical attack , Carapace and Bite , to damage the party . One member with high DEF and HP should make use of Draw Attack to focus the attacks on self and avoid Magus or Seer . Bite can inflict Poison and Confuse so it ' s better equip the character with Heroic Shield or Ribbon . Quake deals a moderate amount of damage and if Adamantoise ' s level is high enough , it will probably kill any character with low HP if not protected . Mighty Guard , Mighty Wall and double - casting Protect and Shell provides the essential defense against his attacks . After his HP drops below 50 % , he starts using Temblor , which is twice as powerful as Quake . It deals massive damage and when Adamantoise ' s level is high , Temblor is an instant kill to any Magus , Seer , Bard or any low - HP character , even with Shell . However , Adamantoise will take longer than usual to make the next move after casting Temblor , which is enough time to revive all fallen members . Final Heaven and Double - casting Meteor with Magic Font are among the most effective ways of damaging this foe . Phantom Rush , Midareyuki and Spreadshot may be useful of the enemy ' s level is low but will deal less and less damage as its level grows . The enemy may counter a magic attack with Brain Crush and physical attack with Bite ( the non - status version ) . Remember to bring along some Remedies or X - Potion s in advance . White Wind and Full Cure are some great healing abilities , but double - casting Curaga , Healing Horn or Espilia with work just fine . Mega Raise is a great revival ability and may come in handy , but it ' s better to be put on a character with high HP as a mighty Temblor may KO any low - HP one . Stock several items such as Remedies , X - Potion s , Dry Ether s and Elixirs before entering the fight with Adamantoise is a good option . The fight with a high - level Adamantoise can be problematic , especially after his HP drops under 50 % . Unlike the other superbosses , fighting with this foe involves dealing with several negative statues . However , with proper party setup , even the max level Adamantoise fight will not be very difficult . Etymology . Adamantoise is a portmanteau of " adamantite " and " tortoise " .
