Leviathan (Final Fantasy III boss)

Leviathan is a boss in Final Fantasy III. The dungeon in which it resides can be entered by passing over Lake Dohr with the canoe and coming into contact with its large shadow. The party must traverse a short series of cavern rooms before facing Leviathan. Once the Lord of the Seas is defeated, the party can use the Leviath spell to summon Leviathan and the dungeon can no longer be accessed.

== Strategy ==
Black Mages or Magi are ideal jobs to use against Leviathan to exploit his weakness to lightning with Thundaga. Leviathan's physical attacks occasionally inflict petrification, which can be prevented by having a character equipped with the Aegis Shield, having a White Mage use Stona, or simply using Gold Needles.
Leviathan can cast Protect and Haste, so using Erase is a must. Its Blizzaga can cause huge damage and Tsunami is powerful enough to wipe out an under-leveled party in a single hit. Powerful physical attacks, preferably with lightning-elemental weapons, and using Thundaga, will deal heavy damage to Leviathan. Use of a Viking and Provoke may help to divert Leviathan's attacks away from the rest of the party.
