How do you beat cloud of darkness in final fantasy iii?

Answer 1

I don't really know. But I know that you need to die to the first cloud of darkness first ( Not Xande!!!!!). Then you get ressurected. Then this is the part I dont really know: You need to some kind free the five guys that Doga and Unei sent and they will help weaken the cloud of darkness somehow........ Then you MAY have a chance to defeat it. You party should have level about 60 or about 55. I say 60 to ensure. still it is challenging. You should have a ninja in your party and attempt to buy shurinkens in the land of eureka ( When you see the two guys selling high spells and to the right of them will have a secret passage) and keep throwing it at the clouds of darkness. You also need to have a devout and use the spell curaga (prefer curaja) and heal yourself. If you need to use arise, everyone else should use a elixir accept if you character(s) Have full health. I heard that someone killed the cloud of darkness in eight turns. -submitted by anonymous

(THIS IS THE REAL WAY HOW TO KILL THE DARK CLOUD CAUSE I DID THIS AND IT WORKED AND THE DARK CLOUD DIED LIKE A NOOOOOOOOOOBB) haha lol. all you need is two healers and two attackers that don't die in one hit like warriors or etc. make your two healers cast spells like protect to take off some dmge and haste to make them faster and to hit first b4 the dark cloud. and every turn have one guy heal your entire party with the spel Curaga or Curaja, NO cure or cura. Each person should be equiped with a ribbon so bad breath doesn't effect them. when one healer's mana (MP) is low, make your fastest unit use an elixer if you know how to duplicate them. After i did this i killed it in 6 turns or so xD. all units should be around lvl 50- 60 and job levels 60-99. You shouldn't have a ninja cause their armor is too weak. get attackers who can use crystal armor, gloves, and helms. MAKE SURE YOUR UNITS ARE EQUIPTED WITH RIBBONS OR YOU WILL DIE. seriously. you have to kill the 4 minibosses in the dark world before you can even scratch the dark cloud. if you dont kill them, you don't do any damage at all and he does 9999 dmge and your screwed. so kill the mini bosses. The first time in Xande's chamber where you fight the dark cloud, let it kill you cause its supposed to and then you come back. DARK CLOUD is SUPER easy if you know what to do.

Answer 2

If you mean the first time you encounter her, this attack is unstoppable and your 'death' is part of the story.

In your second encounter, there is still no real way to 'block' the attack, you will need preferably two white magic casters to keep using Curaja while your other two deal damage to her.

Answer 3

The first time you face the Cloud of Darkness (after you defeat Xande), you will be defeated regardless of your actions. Your party will be revived and transported to the World of Darkness. The teleporter in the center of the X will take you to the Cloud again, but it will be too powerful. You can weaken the Cloud significantly by defeating the bosses at the ends of the paths reached by taking the four teleporters at the ends of the X.

Answer 4

the first time you can't win but then you go to the corners andd fight the bosses to get all of the warriors of darkness . Then you go to the center and fight the cloud!
