Antlion, also known as Antolyon, is a boss in Final Fantasy V fought when Bartz and Krile fall into a hole on their journey away from Castle Tycoon in the merged world. In this battle, the player can only use these two characters.
==Stats==
== Battle ==
Antlion's normal attacks are strong. It regularly uses Dischord to halve a character's level, making them more vulnerable to its attacks. On every fifth turn, it will use Digestive Acid to damage and inflict the sap condition on one character.
It is susceptible to many status effects, such as darkness, slow, aging, and sleep. Antlion also has a weakness to water element. It is susceptible to Level 2 Old.
When its HP reaches 0, it will flee from battle instead of dying.
===Strategy===
The easiest way to win the battle is to use the Black Magic Sleep. After that, Bartz and Krile can throw Water Scrolls to hit its weakness while also avoid waking the Antlion up.
The party can also use the Time Magic Old, or the Blue Magic spell Level 2 Old, to inflict aging, and gradually diminish the damage from Antlion's normal and critical attacks to 0. It can still deal some damage with Digestive Acid, but doesn't use it fast enough to be a threat. Bartz and Krile can just strike with whatever attacks they prefer.
The Blue Magic spell Time Slip inflicts both old and sleep for a very easy battle.
