Dyne

Dyne is a non-playable character and boss battle from Final Fantasy VII. Dyne was Barret Wallace's best friend and Marlene's biological father.

Years before the start of the game, when the Shinra Company wanted to build a Mako Reactor in his hometown of Corel, Dyne opposed it. But Barret tried to convince him that it would benefit the town. The reactor eventually exploded, and believing they had ties to AVALANCHE, Shinra burned the town and its people. When Dyne and Barret returned, he found his wife was killed and assumed his daughter, Marlene, to be dead as well. During their escape, Dyne fell off the side of a cliff, hanging on to Barret’s arm. Shinra soldiers fired at them, causing Dyne to fall into the ravine, presumably to his death. He lived, however, and like Barret, replaced his ineffective arm with a weapon.

Years later, while the party is at the Gold Saucer, a man with a gun-arm kills several patrons. The party, believed to be the culprit, is sent to Corel Prison where Barret relays the story of Corel. Barret knows that it is Dyne who killed those people, and upon finding him, realizes he has become a bitter individual. A battle ensues between the two old friends, and when Dyne is defeated, Barret tells him that Marlene is alive. Not being able to live with all he has done, Dyne gives Barret a necklace to give to Marlene and permission to leave the prison. His final act is to commit suicide by jumping the edge of the cliff.

Strategy

The only important thing to remember in this battle is your HP. Keep it above half at all times, as Dyne has a nasty move called Molotov Cocktail. When you're not healing yourself, attack physically or with Fire. Your limit bar should reach climax at least twice in the battle. Dyne's HP is 1200. Nothing to worry about.
