The Security Eye is an enemy in the game Final Fantasy IV. Security Eye counter all attacks with the Alert ability, which summons a Stone Golem, Chimera, Naga, or Flamehound. Any attack made when an enemy is on the screen that targets the Security Eye results in a Beam, which deals Magic damage. One of each kind of Security Eye appears in various "monster-in-a-box" encounters.

Strategy

Obviously, because of this creature's attack pattern, there is no real way to make it through the fight without taking any damage. Until you have finally destroyed the Security Eye, ignore the other monsters it summons, because it will just summon more. When another monster enters the fray, concentrate your attack on the Security Eye until it falls, using Rosa to heal any damage caused by its Beam counterattack. After it dies, shift your attention to the monster left behind.

A noticeable feature of the Security Eye is that it will not attack unless provoked. Because of this, the encounters with it can be a great opportunity to restore HP/MP with Rosa's Pray. Have everyone else defend and Yang use Focus twice. When you are ready, attack with Yang (with Lightning Claws equipped, if you want to expose his weakness) and it should go down in one hit without summoning any other monsters. Alternatively, you can use Ramuh with Rydia, and it should also go down in one hit, since the Security Eye itself is fairly weak. You can also use Cry without it noticing.
