Mini Guide: After battling through the seeming endless parade of enemies in Magus Castle and his minions Slash, Flea, and Ozzie, the final showdown has arrived with Magus. Magus is partially distracted by the coming of Lavos, but still gives you one of your toughest fights in the game. Magus can use Fire, Lightning, Ice, and Shadow Magic, and will only reveal which type of magic is after hitting you with that type (e.g. "Barrier Change; only Fire damage" will be followed by Fire 2.) Use Frog's Masamune to weaken Magus' Magic Defense and have Crono and Lucca use physical attacks unless Magus is weak against Lightning or Fire, respectively. When you do about 5000 HP of Damage to Magus, he may try to cast a spell, but fail. Heal your party because his next attack will most likely be Dark Matter, a Shadow attack that can do at least 200 damage to all of your characters. After healing, hit Magus with all your firepower until you wipe out his 6666 HP and defeat the Blue Haired Sorcerer. |
