10 Genius Ways To Beat Video Game Bosses You Totally Missed

5. Azulmagia (Final Fantasy V)

Spanish-speaking players got the immediate upper-hand with this potentially tricky customer at the tail-end of the criminally underrated Final Fantasy V. Azulmagia is encountered in the Dimension Castle's dungeons - and polyglots amongst you will realise that his name translates as 'blue mage'. That's a hint.

As we all know, blue mages in Final Fantasy learn any spell cast upon them. So instead of enduring an arduous battle against the villain from the Void, simply hit him with a round of the Self-Destruct spell. In either a fit of excitement or stupidity, he'll promptly use his new trick back on you - and it does exactly what it says on the tin, blowing him up in an instant.
