Adamantoise (Final Fantasy V)

The Adamantoise, also known as Adamantaim, is a boss in Final Fantasy V. It is encountered when the party tries to leave the Tycoon Meteorite after collecting the Adamantite. In the Finest Fantasy for Advance and the now discontinued 2013 Matrix Software versions, Adamantoise is also fought in the Sealed Temple's Cloister of the Dead.
==Stats==
== Battle ==
Adamantoise attacks with high-strength physicals that may knock out a mage in one or two hits. It is weak against ice. Unlike most bosses, it is not heavy-type.
=== Strategy ===
Adamantoise can be easily defeated by using Level 5 Death, which can be learned in the Library of the Ancients. Level 4 Graviga also works, though it is not possible to learn this spell before its first (and in most versions, only) encounter. Should the player fight it normally, it is wise to bring along a dedicated healer and two characters capable of hammering it with ice spells and abilities. Both Blizzara and the accompanying Spellblade work well. Without these skills, one may break Ice Rods to deal major damage.
