It's because the Sanctist Church couldn't bear that the heir to the throne was an Elda, lesser beings in their eyes that possess magic not of the church, wasn't it?
Forden just wanted power. He might not have liked the Elda, but the village was burned to try to kill the prince, with genocide of the Elda being the excuse in a way.
This Ice Dragon was a massive difficulty spike. Gurantee Frost infliction, and Quartz Wall were tricky. As much as I wanted to use Basilio with his Berserker class, I couldnt justify it, when one Mahamon is enough for a party wipe.
I don’t know man every fight is so easy with Phys and crit build that I don’t even think about difficulty in boss fight but how to no damage the them instead. I’m on hard btw, but phys is just so broken 😂. Things that I would consider really hard are full power final boss and ng+ superboss, others even if they resist phys or null could still be counter with merchant almighty phys or just phys with masquerade.
I wish she was playable for the whole time so this hit so much harder, we barely spent time digesting that she was the reason the game started partly. Also “IT COMES TO THIS” is up there with “YOULL PAY FOR YOUR INSOLENCE”
