10 Alternate Video Game Boss Strategies You Never Knew
5. Give A Phoenix Down To The Phantom Train - Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy VI's Phantom Train boss fight is fondly remembered above all else for the player's meme-worthy ability to have Sabin freaking suplex the haunted locomotive.
Compared to most bosses on this list, the Phantom Train actually isn't too much trouble: as long as you make concerted use of Sabin's Meteor Strike and conscientiously heal your party, there's not too much to fear here.
But if you want to save yourself some time and effort, there's a far simpler way to end the fight - just throw a Phoenix Down in the train's face.
In the Final Fantasy universe, Phoenix Downs are of course used to revive KO'd opponents, and so when used against an undead foe, they instead have the effect of turning them dead. Easy peasy.
