Final Fantasy VI's infamous Phantom Train boss can be a tough-if-not-impossible fight if you dare to battle it straight-up, but players can actually end the fight in a single turn if they consider the fact that they're fighting an undead enemy.

Undead enemies can be vanquished by hurling a Phoenix Down at them - an object typically used for reviving KO'd foes - which will result in the Phantom Train's defeat in a speedy 20 seconds flat.

It may lack the satisfaction of actually doing it the hard way, but life's just too damn short. If you do still want to spice things up a little, though, maybe have Sabin suplex the train before you put it out of its misery. You know you want to.
