Details

FINAL FANTASY IX_20200217164625.jpg

Earth Guardian is a boss that is fought by Zidane and Quina. Earth Guardian relies on earth based attacks and tier 3 black magic spells.

Moveset

Earth Guardian uses Tier 3 black magic spells. It can also use Earthquake which inflicts earth elemental damage to the whole party. Lastly, it can use double slash, which is a physical attack against a single target.

Strategy

Equipping the Auto-Reflect ability will greatly reduce Earth Guardian's damage output. You can also equip a Gaia Gear or a Feather Boots to absorb Earth Guardian's Earth attack. Do try to eat Earth Guardian for the fun of it.
