Intro

This is the list for the final battle. Check it out if you want to beat Kefka with a low-level party. I found some bugs about Quick in the Pixel Remaster version 1.0.4. So, I remove the magic from the list.

Statue of the Gods A	Short Arm
Statue of the Gods B	Long Arm
Statue of the Gods C	Visage
Statue of the Gods D	Tiger
Statue of the Gods E	Machine
Statue of the Gods F	Magic
Statue of the Gods G	Power
Statue of the Gods H	Lady
Statue of the Gods I	Rest

 

 

1. Statue of the Gods A, B, C

Name	Statue of the Gods A (Short Arm)
Location	Kefka’s Tower
HP	27,000
Skill	Normal Attack Normal Attack as a counter Razor Gale
Weakness	Water Slow Silence Berserk

Name	Statue of the Gods B (Long Arm)
HP	33,000
Skill	Normal Attack Shockwave Red Claw
Weakness	Petrify Instant Death

Name	Statue of the Gods C (Visage)
HP	30,000
Skill	Normal Attack Sapping Strike Quake Magnitude 8 Dread Gaze Reverse Polarty Protect Haste
Weakness	Fire Darkness

Cast Death or Break to Statue of the Gods B and Slow and Berserk to Statue of the Gods A first. Then, use Firaga or Fire Rods to Statue of the Gods C. The C is weak to fire. After defeating the C, defeat the A by using superballs. You might also want to inflict some weakness. You can avoid their normal attack using Vanish.

 

 

2. Statue of the Gods D, E, F, G

Name	Statue of the Gods D (Tiger)
Location	Kefka’s Tower
HP	30,000
Skill	Normal Attack Northern Cross Southern Cross Flare Star
Weakness	Ice Poison

Name	Statue of the Gods E (Machine)
HP	24,000
Skill	Normal Attack Magitek Laser Atomic Rays Gravity Bomb Diffective Laser Absolute Zero Delta Attack
Weakness	Lightning Stop Instant Death

Name	Statue of the Gods F (Magic)
HP	41,000
Skill	Imp Haste Hastega Confuse Firega Drain Bio Poison Dispel Stop Reflect Reraise Thundaga Sleep Blizzaga Slowga Flare Holy Silence Rasp Blizzara Graviga 10-Magic Combo (if killed)
Weakness	Silence

Name	Statue of the Gods G (Power)
HP	28,000
Skill	Normal Attack 10-Hit Combo (if killed)
Weakness	Poison Stop Slow

Cast Death to Statue of the Gods E and Silence to Statue of the Gods F first. So, you can nullify the F itself. After that, use Slow and Stop to Statue of the Gods G and inflict poison on Statue of the gods D to damage with poison-slip. Use Ice-elemental attack to the D. Cast Stop to the G again and again when it wears off. Attack the G after defeating the D. It is good to inflict some weakness. Lastly, attack the rest of the statue F. In the Final Fantasy 6, Silence status never wears off during a battle. I highly recommend you cast reraise to all members before defeating the F.

 

 

3. Statue of the Gods H, I

Name	Statue of the Gods H (Lady)
Location	Kefka’s Tower
HP	9,999
Skill	Normal Attack Repose ※ Sleep by Physical Attack White Wind Arise
Weakness	–

Name	Statue of the Gods I (Rest)
HP	40,000
Skill	Normal Attack Meltdown Tornado Doom Repose (if killed) ※ Instant Death by Physical Attack
	(If fell below its HP 10,240) Trine Meteor
Weakness	–

We had better defeat Statue of the god H first as it can cast Arise and White Wind. The H is immune to Debiliator. So, cast Flare and Ultima or use superballs. It has 9999 HP only. Defeat it immediately.

It is important to calculate Statue of the god I’s HP. Because it uses Meteor or Trine, if it’s HP is under 10,240. Inflict weakness while the I still has high HP. I recommend that you inflict holy-elemental weakness on it. Summon Golem, Fenrir, or Phantom when its HP goes down near 10240. They can prevent Repose as a final attack. Use holy rods all at once to defeat the I after summoning them. A superball causes damage randomly to all enemies from 256 to 8192. Using superball might be good, but there’s a chance not to defeat the I. If that’s the case, you are likely to lose this last battle.

 

 

4. Kefka

Name	Kefka
Location	Kefka’s Tower
HP	62,000
MP	38,000
Skill	Normal Attack Havoc Wing FIraga Blizzaga Thundaga Heartless Angel Hyperdrive (as a counter)
	(If fell below its 32,640) Meteor Ultima Trine Forsaken Vengeance Havoc Wing
Weakness	–

Kefka is the strongest of the Final Fantasy 6 world. It is important for a low-level player to calculate Kefka’s HP during the battle. Because he uses Forsaken when his HP falls down 32,640. The magic deals unblockable non-elemental damage to all party members. You have to cast Reraise to ones before that.

Firstly, cast Reraise to all members and inflict holy-elemental weakness. Ignore his Heartless Angel. Secondly, damage him using Flare and Ultima before his HP goes down near 32,640. It is also good that you attack inflicted weakness. Using superballs is okay, but it is hard to calculate his HP.

Kefka uses Forsaken regularly while his HP is under 32640. It is inevitable magic, but all “Reraised” members revive after that. You might want to reraise again and use holy rods on him all at once. Use Echo Screens or Remedies to the man who can cast Reraise when he uses trine. Don’t forget that his vengeance can erase all positive status, such as Haste and Reraise.
