Scarmiglione (Final Fantasy IV)

Scarmiglione, also known as Milon, is a storyline boss from Final Fantasy IV. A vile monster known as the Blighted Despot, he appears as one of Golbez's Archfiends. He is fought three times (twice in a row early in the story), and takes on more than one form. He is an undead enemy, and thus is weak to Fire and healing spells. In the second battle, he is known as Milon Z or Milon Z. in older ports.
== Stats ==
== Battle ==
=== First battle ===
Scarmiglione is accompanied by a vast number of Skullnants and counters every attack that hits him with Thunder on a random party member.
=== Second battle ===
In Scarmiglione's second form there are no monsters accompanying him, but he has a strong physical attack and may inflict Curse, Blind and other status effects. This battle is a back attack.
==== Strategy ====
One should have plenty of Echo Herbs on hand to cure Silence. Tellah and Porom should always use Cura on Scarmiglione or the other characters when they need healing. Palom should cast Fira without any delay, but Scarmiglione will retaliate with his various status effects, or his special Gas attack in all versions except the US SNES release and Easy Type. Cecil should use Hi-Potion on Scarmiglione as his dark sword is useless against the boss. If the player wants an easy win, they can use an Elixir on Scarmiglione, if they have it.
As the battle is a back attack, it would be wise to invert the party lineup beforehand.
=== Third battle ===
== AI script ==
(If hit by a Fire Element spell : Counter with Gas / Cursed Elegy - Has no effect; this attack may be bugged / Slow on all party members)
Turn 1 - Attack (May inflict Poison)
(Scarmiglione uses Gas in the SNES version, and Cursed Elegy in the PSP version.)
