== How to find ==
Ixion can be found in the Pharos's Subterra, on any of the three floors. The lift must be coming down from the first floor. If there are other monsters around, the player should take the lift back up to the first floor and try again. After running around the circle for a while, Ixion will appear. Its spawn chances increase by 6% every 12 seconds spent in the area, reaching 100% after 204 seconds.
== Battle ==
Ixion's standard attack is not devastating, but it does chain often and hits quite fast. Its most damaging attack is Thundaga. It frequently casts Dispelga, and can use Fearga, which reduces MP drastically. Aside from that, Ixion uses status-inflicting magicks. If Ixion is afflicted with a status ailment, it can cast Purify, which removes all of its status ailments and makes it immune to further status changes. Ixion can also teleport and cannot be targeted during this.
The official strategy guide for the original version lists two sets of stats for Ixion, the "b" version having much less HP at 166,559 and higher Defense at 28. This second version appeared in the third floor of Subterra: Abyssal. The higher-HP versions' physical attack is also not meant to be Lightning-elemental. In the Zodiac versions, Ixion always has 300,000+ HP and its Defense value is always 10, no matter where the player spawns it.
=== Strategy ===
The player should bring a lot of X-Potions and curative items. Ixion is susceptible to Berserk, which will stop it from casting Purify. A Rubber Suit, as well as a Zodiac Escutcheon or Diamond Armlet in the Zodiac versions, will make the user immune to Lightning damage. Decoy can be used to draw Ixion's physical attacks toward a party member with that equipment.
