Dark Bahamut (Final Fantasy IV)

Dark Bahamut, also known as Wyvern, is a boss in Final Fantasy IV. It guards the Ragnarok, Cecil's strongest weapon in the original release.
== Stats ==
== Battle ==
Dark Bahamut begins the battle with Megaflare, and then casts Reflect on itself and bounces Flare spells onto the party. Flare is typically not fatal, and it is possible to survive Megaflare as well. Dark Bahamut counters summoning with another Megaflare, limiting Rydia's potential, although she can still summon Bahamut to pierce Reflect.
=== Strategy ===
After Dark Bahamut uses its first Megaflare, the player should revive all KO'd characters with Phoenix Downs while Rosa casts Curaja. Rydia should summon Asura. This way the party stays alive and benefits from the Protect status. Rydia can also use the Quake spell to deal damage ignoring Dark Bahamut's Reflect. Cecil should attack, Kain should use the Jump command and Edge should throw Shuriken.

==Behind the scenes==
In the Super NES, Game Boy Advance, and Pixel Remaster releases of Final Fantasy IV, Dark Bahamut uses the "attacking" sprite of its base Bahamut sprite, but in the Playstation Portable release it uses the "passive' sprite. In all versions of the game, Dark Bahamut's sprite does not change during battle as Bahamut's does.
