Stage
7: Edo
 |
Zohar will teleport you to
Edo,
where another of Har's holograms will await. He explains that
should Shyna fail in her mission, she will become a living bomb that
will destroy all life forms with attributes. Lovely, eh? Har and Zohar will argue for a bit. Zohar threatens to destroy Har. Har laughs, and then deletes Zohar. He'll then send Serah after you. |
| Attribute: Silhouette / Mirage Life: 3000 Spirit: 3000 Credits: 0 Serah isn't very tough if you know how to deal with her, even if the last fight with Zohar did take a toll on your Life and Spirit. She'll occasionally use her "Genesis Phase," which drops several balls that turn into caterpillars. After a short while, she'll absorb one of them, which will restore her Life and Spirit. You can counter this fairly easily by taking out all of the caterpillars before she has a chance to absorb them. They also drop power ups when defeated, which can help restore your Life a bit. |
 |
 |
At first, Serah's and the
caterpillars aren't
much to worry about. There's just the occasional small flame
dropped on
the platform (easily avoided) and a homing energy ball here and there
that can be reflected. She'll also utilize beams from both wings
that will start at about a 45-degree angle and move inward, which can
catch you from behind. Fortunately, these are also fairly easy to
Reflect. You can also avoid them entirely by standing directly
underneath Serah. |
| Serah, like many of the
Guardian
Angels, seems to have infinite Spirit. That is, you can
continuously drain Spirit from her even when her Spirit is at
zero. The same goes for the caterpillars she drops, so utilize
this to
fill up your Spirit and unload with your best Parasites. If your
Spirit is full, it's still to your advantage to lower her Spirit level,
as she will still
lose some of her attacks when low on power. |
 |
 |
Once Serah is reduced to
roughly
1200 Life, she'll begin using a new attack called the Destruction
Clarion. She can use this even when her Spirit meter is
empty. It has a variety of effects, including creating damaging
raindrops, creating spiraling flames that close in on Serah (and may
strike you on their way there), and a swarm of flying bugs, which
explode on impact. All three can be blocked. The last of
the three can also be negated when Serah is low on Spirit. |
| After defeating Serah, she'll
self-destruct. Afterward, Bug will teleport in. He'll explain that Har's ignoring him, and will teleport in a shop. This is the last chance you'll get to buy stuff, so top off your Life and Spirit! If you have some cash to spare, you can also purchase every Level 6 parasite here. This includes Level 6 Cavitas, which can't be gotten anywhere else. Afterward, you'll move on. (Save Point) |

 |
Har will continue his
explanation of the events in Edo, explaining that the inhabitants
accepted the "Armageddon" created by the Attribute experiments as
retribution for their sins. He states that if you continue your
mission, this will just happen again, and the following Armageddon will
be far worse. It is for this reason that he wishes to stop Shyna. You're then presented with the choice of whether to fulfill your mission, or abandon it. What you choose determines your path. |
