Boss Fight[]
Overview[]
Meduso is fought with Zale, Valere, Seraï, and Resh'an as the available party members. Its head summons different-colored canisters, while its four limbs, which cannot be targeted, grab and utilize the canisters to perform various attacks on the party as well as heal itself. Breaking all of the locks on any canister destroys it and stops it from being used. The bottom two limbs are the only ones able to use blue canisters; otherwise, there are no color restrictions.
As Meduso takes damage, its face will deteriorate into a more skull-like appearance as its "skin" is destroyed until it is defeated. When its skin is partially peeled for its first four forms, healing allows it to revert to previous forms; however, once it reaches its fifth form, the final one which is fully peeled, it can no longer revert back to previous forms. Its appearance reflects the number and color of canisters it is able to summon.
| Appearance | Threshold | # of Canisters | Potential Canister Colors |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unblemished | - | 1 | Red, green, blue |
| Cut on its left eye | 84 HP depleted | 2 | |
| Bruises, and vertical crack on forehead | 250 HP depleted | 3 | |
| Many cuts, and forehead peeled off | 417 HP depleted | 4 | |
| Entire face peeled off | 833 HP depleted | 4 | Red, green, blue, purple |
Meduso's summon attempt in round 1 always starts as a 1-turn counter. For the first 16 canisters, and for Meduso's first four forms if all limbs are free, Meduso has predetermined canister colors it will pull, though the lower-left limb pulls a random color (from red, green, and blue).

- ↑ Claw value

"Displayed XP" is the data the game presents upon completion of a battle, and this value is derived from the internal XP multiplied by 2 then multiplied by the party level (internal XP * 2 * party level = displayed XP). If the player levels up, then the data presented in the "Displayed XP" columns of this chart becomes inaccurate, as the true displayed value is the sum of the internal XP multiplied among multiple party levels.
