Kefka (Final Fantasy VI boss)

Kefka is fought as a boss in Final Fantasy VI in his human form during the imperial attack on Narshe, and during his destruction of Thamasa.
Kefka appears as a cinematic enemy on two occasions using his field sprite, and a boss named "Kefka" using the Guard sprite can be found within the data.

=== Narshe ===
Kefka stands at the southern end of a maze-like series of pathways through the Narshe snowfields as his soldiers approach Banon standing at the north end. The player must fight their way through the soldiers and defeat Kefka before the imperials reach Banon.
Kefka uses powerful magic, including Blizzara, which is virtually an instant kill against a single character. Cast against the entire party it is not fatal, but still very powerful. He has Poison, Drain, Thunder, Blizzard and a fairly weak physical attack.
If the player brings Celes she can nullify Kefka's magic with Runic. Sabin should use Blitz, Edgar should use his Auto Crossbow, Cyan should use Fang, and Gau should use the Stray Cat Rage or any other powerful Rages the player has acquired. The Acrophies Rage can inflict Stop on Kefka, trivializing the battle. Celes and Terra can use Cure to heal the party and otherwise should cast Fire and Blizzard. Kefka flees at the end of the battle.
=== Thamasa ===
General Leo fights Kefka alone. This is not a true boss fight, as it ends in a cinematic scene and Kefka's sprite is unnamed. The background music is the standard enemy encounter music and not "The Decisive Battle", which is used for boss battles. This Kefka has 5,001 HP and uses powerful magic, including Firaga. Leo is equipped with an Aegis Shield, which will likely block many of Kefka's spells. With the Shock ability and a Master's Scroll allowing him to attack four times a turn, Leo can inflict over a thousand damage every round and easily defeat Kefka.
