Adamantoise (Final Fantasy II)

The Adamantoise is a boss from Final Fantasy II. It is found in the Snow Cave, guarding the Goddess's Bell. It later appears as a regular random encounter.
==Stats==
== Battle ==
Adamantoise is weak to Ice and boasts incredibly high Defense, so melee fighters will have a difficult time inflicting any damage.
=== Strategy ===
It is best to use a Blizzard spell to defeat it. If no party member can currently cast Blizzard, there is a treasure chest earlier in the Snow Cave containing the spell. Alternatively, the Antarctic Wind found in the Snow Cave will kill it in one use.
The player can also use the Ancient Sword found in the Snow Cave to inflict Curse on the Adamantoise, drastically reducing its Attack and Defense to the point where it poses little harm and even a weaker attacker can inflict reliable damage.
== Other appearances ==

Adamantoise from Final Fantasy II appears as an enemy.
== Behind the scenes ==
In the PlayStation Origins port, the Adamantoise's color scheme was switched with the Land Turtle. This persisted until Pixel Remaster gave both new sprites that use their original colors.
