Curse of Extinction

The strongest attack in any RPG ever. Has only appeared once in the original SNES/SFC version of Final Fantasy IV (II in the OG US release) and is only used against the part when entering the "negative zone" which can be accessed by moving up and down the stairs in "Dwarf Castle" 255 times without exiting the area. This strange dimension is extremely unstable, and one wrong imput can trigger the "Curse of Extinction" attack which will delete ALL YOUR SAVE FILES and possibly even BRICK YOUR CONSOLE. Yes, even modern day PCs running the game via emulation. However, if used correctly, the glitch allows you to skip from "Dwarf Castle" straight to the final battle in the "Lunar Ruins," so whole the risk is high the reward is great, especially for speedruns. And yes, this is canon to the game's lore, believe it or not, though this obscure glitch was patched in all future versions starting with the PS1 version. (after which include the GBA, DS, PSP, Mobile/PC, and Pixel Remaster versions) This infamous attack returns in the 2.0 version of Meteo Chronicles, also known as Meteo Chronicles R, used by the ultimate superboss "NAMELESS" which while it does delete your save, thankfully no longer has the chance to brick your console.

Guy 1: Oblivion Overdrive is the strongest attack in Final Fantasy, bar none.

Guy 2: Nah fam, Curse of Extinction is way stronger.

Guy 1: WTF is that? Never heard of it.

Guy 2: Bro, it's from the original FF4. I'd deletes your save and bricks your console, and can only be triggered by using a glitch.

Guy 1: Bro that's wild!
