Final Fantasy IV DS - glitch? Sand Worm healed and killed by Cockatrice

Sand Worms live in the Damcyan desert. I was lucky to get the summon Cocktrice. When I first encountered a sand worm, I killed it with cockatrice but I was surprised to see the worm absorbed the damage. I had to wait until Rydia returned to the party to record this. I guess you can kill Flood Worm or even Horned Worm the same way.

For god's sake, take that ending out of your description!

I just got the ending spoiled by reading the description... T_T

[stvyeh]

sorry!

I say that the Cockatrice summon has an elemental affinity to it which heals the send worm, but the effect of Petrify still killed it.

@stvyeh it absorbs the earth-damage but it's "killed"because of the petrifying effect

@PokeymanTrainer At some point, Edge's physical capabilities become on par with Kain's. Personally, I also used this formation as well. Edge's magic isn't always useful and it's not something you'd want to use all the time due to his rather low MP. Kain's jump will do the same damage regardless of whether he's in the front or the back.

It really comes down to personal preference.

@Cinj216 Kain's a physical attacker, he does 1/2 damage from the back row.

@PokeymanTrainer Um...why wouldn't he be?

[dragonheart128]

because the sand worm is healed by earth it would heal it but stone would kill it

[PokeymanTrainer]

And btw, it didn't die, it turned to stone. But because it was the only enemy left, it wouldn't have been able to bring itself back, so it was programmed to die.

[PokeymanTrainer]

Um...Why is Kain in your back row?

[catuse167]

Yeah, because it's petrified.

@UmbreonMessiah elitist over video games? really? I guess everyone needs something to be proud of.

@ShadowDetiny That's what happened. It's a pretty easy trick to pull off, actually.
