Seiken Densetsu 3 Bosses
The bosses encountered in Seiken Densetsu 3 are much more difficult than the ones in Secret of Mana. There are not as many, but they are very strong. Instead of just using magic to beat them, you will have to use your weapons and strategy to defeat them.

EXP: 1610, 8830
Luc: 1971, 3792
Special attacks: Spined Kelp, Hammer bean, Pollen Jet
Magic attacks: Sleep Flower
His first attacks will be small monsters appearing and he often puts you to sleep, so bring a full supply of Puipui grass. Ignore the monsters and keep attacking the creature with weapons or strong magic. After taking heavy damage he will become a large monster and begin to use some heavy attacks. Keep attacking him and heal when necessary.
The Mana Beasts
When fighting the Mana Beasts, remember that each one represents an elemental, so the weakness of each one is the opposite of what it is. Earth - Wind, Fire - Water, Moon - Wood, Light - Darkness. I recommend that you have your levels at about 30 when you take on the first Mana Beast.
Image Name Description
Land Umber
Land Umber (earth)
Gemstone Valley Dorian
Level 37
HP: 9839
MP: 65535
EXP: 5180
Luc: 7302
Weakness: Wind
Special attacks: Hammer Punch, Crashball
Magic attacks: Stone Cloud, Diamond Missle, Earthquake, Hypercannon, Protect Up
Be careful when fighting this Mana Beast. He will often grab one of your characters and throw them around the room, heal when this happens as the attack is fairly bad. Attack him with weapons or use wind magic. Be careful of his Hypercannon attack, it's his strongest one and can cause a lot of damage. Keep healing and you should beat him quickly.
Dangaard
Dangaard (wind)
Mountain Zone
Level 29
HP: 21136
MP: 106
EXP: 2670
Luc: 5666
Weakness: Earth
Special attacks: Air Slasher, Lightning Bolt, Thunderball
Magic attacks: Thunderstorm, Air Blast, Speed Up
The problem with Dangaard is that he has a lot of HP, so this battle is going to last a while. The advantage is that the scenery while flying is nice to look at. Make sure your weapons are as good as possible and attack him when he flies close. If you have earth magic use that when he flies out of reach. Be careful of his attacks as he'll keep using wind magic so heal often.
Xan Bie
Xan Bie (fire)
Valley of Flames
Level 35
HP: 11283
MP: 259
EXP: 4450
Luc: 6891
Weakness: Water
Special attacks: Gigaburn, Lava Wave, Heat Beam
Magic attacks: Explode, Fireball, Blaze Wall, Power Up
Xan Bie can sometimes become a little confusing, as he consists of three parts. The first part is the dangerous one, its a dragon's head surrounded by fire. The second part is just a flame at the rear end of the screen that does nothing. Concentrate on the dragon head using weapons or water magic. He'll use a lot of fire magic. If he uses flame saber on one of your characters cast ice saber or use a stardust herb on them as they'll heal Xan Bie with fire. Heal often and just hit the head, as when the head goes, the entire beast blows up.
Fiegmund
Fiegmund (water)
Labyrinth of Ice Walls
Level 31
HP: 11518
MP: 226
EXP: 3200
Luc: 6037
Weakness: Fire
Special attacks: Ice Cradle, Icicle
Magic attacks: Cold Blaze, Mega Splash
Fiegmund will use a lot of ice magic so make sure you have a lot of healing items and puipui grass, as he'll make your characters snowmen. Attack him using weapons or use fire magic. Be careful when he comes up under the ice, you won't be able to hit him with weapons when he does this. Heal often and you should take him out fast.
Dolan
Dolan (moon)
Moonreading Tower
Level 39
HP: 13351
EXP: 2670
Luc: 5579
Weakness: Wood
Special attacks: Howl, Gravitron Press
Magic attacks: Spiral Moon, Body Change, Half Vanish, Moon Saber, Energy Ball
Watch out for his attacks, they can be very dangerous. He likes to swipe at you often which can cause high damage, so you'll have to heal a lot during this battle. Use weapons against him and be careful as one of his attacks can lower your total HP. He has just above 10,000 HP so it might take a while to beat him.
Mispolm
Mispolm (wood)
Forest of Wonder
Level 33
HP: 15408
MP: 243
EXP: 3790
Luc: 6481
Weakness: Wind
Special attacks: Killstinger, Grenade Bomb
Magic attacks: Posion Bubble, Sleep Flower, Counter Magic, Pumpkin Bomb
The two pumpkin vines next to him will annoy you as they like to grab one of your characters and bite away at them. Ignore them and concentrate on hitting the main head. He'll use a lot of vine-type attacks, with Killstinger being the worst. Heal often and use weapons against it, or use wind magic, but be careful as he will probably use Counter Magic (Wall). He shouldn't take too long to beat.
Lightgazer
Lightgazer (light)
Ancient Ruins of Light
Level 40
HP: 15225
MP: 307
EXP: 6400
Luc: 7922
Weakness: Darkness
Special attacks: Prisoner, Geyseblast
Magic attacks: Saint Beam, Holy Ball, Saint Saber, Heal Light
Try to use weapons mostly during this battle. He will often disappear and then reappear in a different position so you'll have time to heal between attacks. He likes to use Prisoner which moogles your entire party every now and then, so bring a full stock of puipui grass. You can use dark magic against it like evil gate or dark force, but watch out for his attacks as they can do heavy damage.
Zable Fahr
Zable Fahr (darkness)
Glass Desert/Cave of Darkness/Jungle of Illusion
Level 46
HP: 10714 (left/right: 5413)
MP: 378 (left/right: 378)

Luc: 11286 (left/right: 706)
Weakness: Light
Special attacks: Hell Cross, Dark Blazon, Darkness Beam, Great Demon
Magic attacks: Dark Force, Evil Gate, Death Spell, AntiMagic
For the first part of the battle you will have to fight the left and right heads. Use weapons or light magic such as saint beam and holy ball. They will often use dark magic and poison you, so bring puipui grass. Once you beat the two heads, the main one will appear and use Regeneration that revives the other two heads. It will then use Hell Cross which causes heavy damage, so be ready for this attack. This attack will be used often throughout the battle. It will use dark magic all the time, so be careful. Hit the main head and use light magic on it. When it uses Death Spell one of your characters will be knocked unconscious instantly unless they are higher than level 53. Quickly revive them as it can use this more than once during the battle. Focus on the main head and keep your HP high all the time.
Final Bosses
From here on, the final bosses will be different for each scenario depending on the first character you chose in the game. Before you fight the three final bosses, you'll have to fight stronger versions of some of the earlier bosses. On a scale from easiest to hardest, the easiest scenario is Carlie and Kevin's, medium is Duran and Angela and the hardest is Hawk and Lise. In the Mirage Palace you'll have to fight Genova, Gildervine and Gorva again. In the Dragon's Hole, you'll have to fight Full Metal Hagger, Jewel Eater and Tzenker again. In the Dark Castle you'll fight Full Metal Hagger, Genova and Tzenker. Refer to the earlier guides on how to defeat them.

Magic Attacks: Stun Wind, Blaze Wall, Evil Gate, Stone Cloud, Cold Blaze, Holy Ball, Death Roulette
The Deathjester will make two other copies of himself. You'll have to hit the real one to beat them all. He uses strong attacks against you so make sure your equipment is the highest it can be. They cluster around each other all the time and jump about everywhere, so just try to hit any one of them and you should hit the real one. If you have Lise on the light side, use Power Up and Protect Up and you shouldn't have any trouble. Your allies might go after the copies, just let them and keep hitting the real one. Heal often, and you should beat him without much trouble.

Luc: 1476
Special attacks: Machine Golem, Unicorn Head, Ghost, Ghoul, Great Demon, Gremlin, Freya, Iormungand, Lamian Naga, Marduke
Magic Attacks: Saint Beam, Holy Ball, Black Curse, Heal Light
Heath will often use summon spells and send in monsters to attack you, so you'll have to be very aware of what your doing. Attack him with weapons or use strong magic. He uses god-summon spells so you should heal straight after he summons them. He'll often heal himself which can be very annoying, so if you have Lise on the light side use Power Up so you can inflict more damage on him. Keep healing and don't stop hitting him until he goes down.
Dark Lich

Special attacks: Death Ecstasy, Killstinger
Magic Attacks: Saint Beam, Poison Bubble, Death Spell, Leaf Saber, Speed Up, Power Up, Protect Up, Dark Force, Ancient
This boss is definitely the easiest final boss of the game. He will only use speacial attacks and magic rarely, he just floats around the screen most of the time. Be careful of his attacks though as they can be dangerous. His Death Ecstasy spell is his strongest, and he also uses Ancient, so be careful and heal often. Use weapons against him and power up spells. The background will change often, this means that he is slowly going down. When the music changes, he's half gone. If your levels are 55 or higher, his Death Spell won't work against you. Keep hitting him and use strong magic and he'll be gone fairly quickly.

Special attacks: Whirlwind Sword, Eruption Sword
Magic Attacks: Power Up, Protect Up
The Darkshine Knight will not use offensive magic, but his sword swipes can cause massive damage. He can also hit you two or more times each hit so you might go down fast so try and keep your distance from him. Heal constantly and use weapons or strong magic against him.

EXP: 10540
Luc: 1476
Magic Attacks: Holy Ball, Saint Beam, Diamond Missle, Earthquake, Fireball, Explode, Ice Smash, Mega Splash, Evil Gate, Dark Force, Air Blast, Thunderstorm, Ancient
Koren can be very annoying as he never uses any form of physical attacks, he just uses magic. His spells cause large damage and he can cast new spells straight after each other. Be careful of Ancient, as it is his strongest attack and can cause massive damage. Heal all the time and attack him with weapons, magic won't work unless you have Counter Magic. Don't stop attacking him until he goes down.

EXP: 11780
Luc: 50035
Special attacks: Turn Wind, Air Slasher, Dragon Shout
Magic Attacks: Ancient, Flare, Explode, Gigaburn, Prisoner, Ice Cradle, Saint Beam, Cold Blaze
This final boss would have to be medium hardest, but don't underestimate his strength, as he is very strong. He'll keep using huge physical attacks that can damage your entire group, so you'll have to heal all the time. He will use Ancient every now and then, so make sure your HP is a maximum all the time. Try to have a high level when fighting him (55 or higher) so that he shouldn't be too hard. Make sure you have the best weapons and armor you can have, and keep attacking him with weapons or use your strongest magic such as Ancient, Rainbow and Double Spell. He'll occasionally fly around the screen, use this time to heal. When you hear the battle music change, it's the middle of the battle.

Luc: 1347
Weakness: Fire
Special attacks: Ghost Road, Psychowave
Magic attacks: Evil Gate, Dark Force, Death Spell, Black Rain
When you fight Jagan, he will be accompanied by a Bloody Wolf and Carmilla Queen. Concentrate on beating these two first before Jagan, as they can be very annoying. Jagan can cast Death Spell, so bring a full supply of Angel's Grail. Attack Jagan with weapons or use fire magic, but be careful of his magic and heal often. He shouldn't be too hard to beat.
Bigieu
Bigieu

MP: 655
EXP: 12440
Luc: 1572
Weakness: Fire
Special attacks: Rose Highclaw
Magic attacks: Body Change, Moon Saber, Lamian Naga, Energy Ball
Bigieu will become some sort of cat-like monster, and attack you relentlessly. Her largest physical attack is Rose Highclaw, which she uses often so heal a lot. Use weapons or strong magic against her, but don't use sabers, as they'll heal her. Be careful with magic as some spells will heal her. Make sure your levels are high so that when she uses moon saber it won't do much against you. Be most careful when she uses Lamian Naga, as this will summon a god and cause massive damage. Keep healing and you should beat her fairly quickly.
Archdemon
Archdemon
(Dark Prince)
Mana Holyland

The first form of the Archdemon will change to different colours representing different elementals. He'll use magic from these elements that can cause huge damage so continue to heal all the time. Before he changes to a new element he'll cast a large attack that will cause massive damage. Be very careful during the first part of the battle. Try not to lose too many Angel's Grail in this part of the battle. Make sure that your levels are 55 or more so that his attacks will be lessened and so that death spell will not work. Make sure that you have the best weapons and armor to fight with as they'll help. If you have Lise at light classes use Power Up so that your attacks can get up to about 200 HP each hit. When his HP are half gone he'll change to a larger form and become even harder than before. He'll use the same attacks, but they'll cause more damage. He also often uses a physical attack that looks like a huge blade coming up out of the ground. This will knock your character across the screen and cause huge damage, so be careful. Keep attacking him with weapons or use your strongest magic against him. Heal often, but be careful, he'll take a long time to beat.
Black Rabite

EXP: 0
Luc: 65823
Special attacks: Psychowave, Hell Cross, Killstinger, Eye Beam, Demon Breath, Great Demon
Magic attacks: Evil Gate, Dark Force, Black Rain, Spiral Moon, Lava Wave
Probably one of the most strongest enemies ever encountered in any Squaresoft game on the SNES, this creature is extremly hard to beat. He will use some very powerful attacks and magic attacks on you, so it would only be fair if you were on level 99 when you fight it. Use your weapons against him and if you can, use Power Up and Protect Up. Very strong magic can also work well against it. Heal constantly and if you can beat it you will receive the Moogle Badge.
