Shining Force - Monsters

Ghoul Attack Animation

Rather easy, all things considered. It's an upgraded version of a Zombie and can induce sleep with regular attacks, but ultimately, can be easily defeated and is vulnerable to Blaze.

Dark Dwarf Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
12	0	12	8	4	5	None

Dark Elf Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
16	0	26	9	6	10	None

14	15	14	10	5	7	Freeze 1

Giant Bat Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
14	0	11	6	7	9	None

Goblin Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
12	0	9	6	5	5	None
Coins: 12
Whenever encountering this enemy it will be in large numbers, and if not careful, one of your characters could be swarmed and defeated. If you counter their group with a large one of your own, however, these enemies will fall extremely quickly.

Golem Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
17	0	28	28	4	16	None

High Priest Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
20	33	13	14	6	13	Heal 4
Coins: 750 or 1340
Either get this enemy to consume all of its MP or take it out before it has the chance. Regular attacks aren't a thing to worry about, but if this enemy heals other enemies it can be fatal to your party.

Horseman Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
24	0	53	16	7	17	None
Coins: 1550
This is an upgraded version of the other long-ranged characters in the game, only this one causes far more damage. Don't let your weaker character become exposed.

Ice Worm Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
30	12	40	25	5	26	Sleep 1
Coins: 1030

Minotaur Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
31	0	46	30	5	31	None
Coins: 1500
This is like an upgraded version of the Lizardman; they don't pose much of a threat, but can deliver the final blow that other enemies have weakened you to cause.

Pegasus Knight Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
18	0	21	16	7	12	None
Coins: 180
These enemies are surprisingly easy to beat, but in large groups they might be able to take out one of your party members.

Rune Knight Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
14	0	16	7	7	7	None
Coins: 45
When facing this enemy, you'll most likely have weaker characters likely to fall if forced to fight one-on-one. Always have a few units ganging up on the Rune Knight to prevent fatalities of your own party.

Seabat Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
22	0	20	14	7	14	None
Coins: 350
These enemies are very annoying; they can fly a great distance and induce sleep when they finally do attack, and usually the attacks come from the side against your weaker party members. They approach your party, so get ready for them, then attack once they arrive.

Shellfish Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
25	0	23	16	6	23	None
Coins: 270
You can take these enemies out before they even get close to your party, normally. Their only threatening course of action is poisoning your party members with their regular attacks.

16	0	18	12	7	11	None
Coins: 75
Surprisingly easy for the location in which you fight them, so don't worry too much about them.

Skeleton Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
15	0	21	16	6	7	None
Coins: 140 or 320

Sniper Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
13	0	15	5	5	7	None
Coins: 80
This enemy won't cause a whole lot of damage, but if he retreats far enough to shoot at a party member, catching up to him could be difficult.

Steel Claw Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
25	0	43	31	5	31	None
Coins: 1220
When you first fight them, they can hurt you rather badly, but eventually they're really easy to defeat.

Torch Eye Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
28	0	42	32	6	27	None
Coins: 1350
They typically shoot a beam that causes magic damage in a considerable amount, so be careful when they approach in groups.

Worm Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
17	0	20	16	4	16	None
Coins: 400
Easy, all things considered; just don't let a mage receive damage from one.

Wyvern Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
32	0	39	30	7	31	None
Coins: 1350
They can fly, and when you battle them it's in rough terrain, so have some flying characters available.

Zombie Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
15	0	18	13	5	7	None
Coins: 100 or 140
They can poison party members and have a high evasion rate, but you should be able to burn them to defeat easily.

Bosses

Balbazak Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
65	0	34	18	5	20	None
Coins:
This boss isn't one of the more difficult ones if you consider where you are in the game when you fight him. He rarely moves from his spot guarding the ship, so surround him and defeat him quickly. Balbazak recovers 15 HP each round.

Chaos Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
65	0	50	35	6	32	None
Coins:
Eventually, Chaos will come to you, so just be ready when he gets there (mainly with healers). He has a strong laser attack which causes about 25 points in magical damage, so high DEF won't make a difference. Concentrate all of your attacks on him and he should fall quickly. Chaos recovers 15 HP each round.

Colossus Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
65	??	50	40	4	37	Blaze 3 / Bolt 3 / Freeze 3
Coins:
To defeat the Colossus with Bolt 3, you're going to have to use ranged attacks, and for the others, melee attacks will work. Lyle and any mages are very useful for this battle, so bring them along and attack him as hard and as often as you can before he gets the chance to defeat you.

Dark Dragon Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
250	??	65	40	0	60	Blaze 2, Freeze 2, Bolt 4, Desoul 2
Coins:
This is a pretty pathetic last boss. While his attacks can cause a lot of damage, it's not enough to have your characters just sit around each head and beat it to defeat with your strongest attacks. Don't let anybody's HP fall too low or you won't survive; Aura and Shower of Cure are both very useful courses of action for this battle.

Darksol Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
150	??	40	35	6	54	None
Coins:
Darksol isn't much of a threat because of the enemy you'll have to fight just after his death. Just hit him with as many attacks as you can and be cautious of his Demon Breath attack; it does around 30 points of damage to a group of party members. Don't use any items while fighting him as you'll be fully restored after this battle anyway.

Elliot Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
60	0	32	17	5	16	None
Coins:
Compared to other bosses, Elliot's rather easy. You should take out the surrounding units before surrounding him, then just attack him until he falls. One hit from him could easily defeat a weaker character, but that's what healers are for! Elliot recovers 15 HP each round.

Kane Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
70	24	65	30	6	29	None
Coins:
Kane's high ATT and Sword of Darkness can be extremely deadly to any party member in your team. He can cast Desoul and instantly kill your party members, so hit him as hard and fast as you possibly can.

Laser Eye Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
30	0	14	19	0	27	None
Coins:
This is a very easy and even a helpful boss; while the laser beam can cause a lot of damage, it can be easily avoided by moving to where it won't blast on the bridge. The laser will hit enemies as well and might even destroy them for you, making the rest of the battle easier.

Marionette Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
35	??	25	13	6	13	Freeze 3
Coins:
This boss is extremely difficult because it casts Freeze 3; at this point in the game, that can kill up to five characters at once. Approach it in scattered formation to avoid more than one loss at a time, and if anyone survives the attack, heal them immediately. Each turn, the Marionette recovers 7HP.

Mishaela Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
65	??	42	30	6	35	Bolt 2
Coins:
This boss is very, very difficult for this part of the game. She can cast Bolt 2 and harm a lot of your party members at once, so have your healers ready to heal and even use a Shower of Cure if necessary. Mishaela recovers 15 HP each round.

Ramladu Attack Animation
HP	MP	ATT	DEF	MOV	AGI	Spells
99	??	93	40	6	49	Aura 3
Coins:
Rimladu is annoying for several reasons. First of all, his ATT is higher than any other boss in the game, and second, he can cast Aura 3 as many times as he wants to restore his HP. While this is good for your characters' EXP levels, it's not good if you intend to defeat him some day. Just attack away and heal whenever necessary, keeping characters with the highest DEF closest to him. Rimladu recovers 24 HP each round.
