Prometheus (Final Fantasy VI)

The Prometheus, otherwise known as Prmethus, is an enemy in Final Fantasy VI that appears both in the final dungeon, in the room with the capsules and the one where Inferno lies, and in the Soul Shrine in the game versions that include this bonus dungeon.
== Stats ==
== Battle ==
Every turn, Prometheus has a 33% chance to use Metal Cutter or its special attack, Drill. Prometheus counters normal attacks with Southern Cross, and magic with Northern Cross. Though Northern Cross may freeze party members, as Southern Cross is a -elemental attack, it will thaw them should the Prometheus use it.
=== Strategy ===
As a machine-type enemy, Thundaga and other -elemental attacks work well against it. The player can also use Ultima to defeat the enemy.
== Coliseum setup ==
Bet Longinus for Gungnir
Players should equip the Paladin's Shield/Flame Shield to nullify Southern Cross, along with the best available helmet and armor to limit physical damage. Northern Cross will do nothing more than delay the player's turns, since the frozen status will be removed by Southern Cross, or else wear off with time.
