Intangir is one of the hard bosses you would need to beat to progress through the story during the first part of Final Fantasy VI.  Before the World of Balance goes to Ruin, this tough dog (beast?  We don’t really know!) will test your mettle when it comes to knowing your strengths. 

If you find yourself getting stuck on this particular foe, read on to see how we tackled Intangir through the many iterations of the game.

If you have Edgar on your team, you can cancel his elemental defense by using Edgar’s Debilitator.  It will render him vulnerable to elemental attacks.  This will then allow you to hit him with your strongest elemental spells.

Have fun taming this wild beast and see you in the World of Ruin next!
