Nue is the first boss enemy that the player encounters in Breath of Fire III. It is a primate-like creature native to the Yrall Region, that has recently begun terrorizing the local village and Cedar Woods, scaring off game and disrupting the local ecosystem. After Rei, Ryu, and Teepo defeat the Nue, they discover that it was a mother who was just trying to feed her young, unaware that they had been dead for a long time. Following the creature's defeat, the animals return to the forest and food in the region once again becomes plentiful.

Strategy[]

Since this is the game's first real boss battle, it's not very hard. It is helpful to cast Protect on the party. Aside from this, have Rei use Pilfer until he steals an item, then have him switch to attack. Ryu should heal when necessary, but otherwise attack. Have Teepo cast Flare or, if you have it, Simoon. The battle in the caverns is the same, except Nue will use Jolt once its HP become sufficiently low. However, the creature will only have enough AP to cast it a single time.

Trivia[]

  • The Nue is based on the Nue, a legendary Japanese creature that is essentially their answer to the chimera. They are described as having the head of a monkey, the body of a raccoon dog, the legs of a tiger, and a snake as a tail.
