Quale Boss Battle Guide

Details

Quale has the highest HP of any enemy in the game. Quale can also absorb Water elemental damage, making the fight a tad bit longer if not handled properly.

Moveset

FF9 Quale Water
Quale uses an assorted mix of status inducing magic as well as Water elemental magic and abilities. Quale will also use Rolling Attack as their physical attack which deals moderate damage to its target.

Preparation

Having the abilities, Antibody, Clear Headed, and Bright Eyes will negate most of Quale's status inducing magic . Another option is to have Auto-Reflect equipped to your whole party and having Reflect-Null on your healer. Both will work just as well and the method for beating Quale will not change.

Strategy

FF9 Quale Boss Fight
Regardless of which set of abilities you chose, beating Quale comes down to depleting their MP. Having Vivi's Osmose and Quina's Magic Hammer will do just that.

With no MP, Quale is unable to use any of their magic-based abilities and instead resort to physical attacks. After Quale's MP has been depleted, have a healer focus on recovering the damage from their physical attacks while everyone else focuses Quale with their strongest attacks to take them down.
