First form of the final boss of Eternia.

This Shizel is basically the same as Shizel I, and since we're a heck of a lot stronger now, she's much easier to deal with. All it really takes is knowing how to dodge her spells and smacking her with a nice combo. Also, since we have Rem we can get the Life Rescue skill, which will restore our health when our HP falls below 1/16, making Eternal Finality much easier to deal with. Ultimately a slightly anti-climatic final boss for this run.

With that, let's talk about the three remaining bosses that I don't think I'll be fighting: Shizel's 2nd form, Nereid Shizel, and the two optional bosses, Sekundes, the last Greater Craymel, and Nereid Regulus, who lies at the end of Nereid's Labyrinth. All three of these bosses are, as far as I know, impossible to solo with the rules I have in place. Sekundes is the most possible, but still unlikely. He ignores hitstun most of the time, and even when he does flinch, he doesn't flinch as long as other enemies would, making even simple combos impossible; even Eagle Rage doesn't hit properly. Combine that with over 40k health, and that makes a boss I don't want to deal with. Nereid Shizel and Regulus are the same, along with full screen spells and a little familiar than can shoot things at you freely, making it near impossible to land a hit without losing half your own health in the process. Maybe if there's tech found that will let you feasibly beat them, I'll come back to it... but for now this marks the end of the run.

This was a really fun run. Eternia is shaping up to be on of my favorite games in the series, for it's fluid and simple combat. It was frustrating at time, but I appreciate it a lot more than I did. I hope you enjoyed it to. Look forward to my next run.
