Li'l Murderder is one F'ed up monster

Anniexo · 11:35 PM

Okay so I've playing FF4 and I'm on this moon looking for the last boss (*has no idea if she's in the right place*) and I get in to a fight with a monster called Li'l Murderder and this is what happened

-Copypaste from MSN-

it's like *gets thorwn in to battle* ... O mai~ *monster drops down with float already casted on it* ... Okay o.0 *Monster cast scan on its self* ... WTF...? Oh it's weak to lighting

Is this just a monster they put it for a laugh or what?

Casting lightning spells on it will causes it to retaliate with it's own terrible Thunder spell. Use anything else and just beat it easily. It's just there for that chance you'll do that the first time and get killed/decimated by it, hence the SNES name of Tricker.

Good job I can kill them off fast then... Oh wells, doesn't matter now since I finished the game, so I guess this can be locked now

Yeah, I fell for that the first time around too. Never again!

If you're hardcore you cast lightning spells on it.

It is a cleverly designed random battle. I find myself wishing that more random battles had unique qualities like that in every Final Fantasy game. It kind of reminds me of the friendly monster battles from Final Fantasy IX if we were required to do something more with them than give them the precious stone that they want, you know?

The problem with the Lil' Murderer is that he just keeps casting Scan on himself until you hit him with a thunder-elemental attack and not doing anything else, making him way too easy to beat despite his somewhat impressive HP. He should stop scanning himself and attack you normally(but not quite as brutally) as soon as you attack him with something other than a thunder spell.

it's not like there aren't tons of other strong monsters to fight down there. The respite of meeting this little fellow is quite welcome in my book.
