No items, no death

Hmm...if Dawn of the New World is a escort title, its not technically canon, so Zelos isn't confirmed dead or alive, so this might not be an extra boss o_O....

But I'm counting it as one since I'm using him for the rest of the run (even though I'm making a endgame file with Krate-os...those damn mizuho costumes...).

Zelos was difficult to say the least. Tougher than Kratos and probably as much as Yggdrasil. Fortunately this take went really well. His Judgment was mainly the cause of problem, as it usually wrecked anyone it touched (namely Genis). He also uses the basic magic knight setup, with the Lightning Blades being the biggest trouble. Fortunately he uses Victory Light Spear and Light Spear Cannon, which are very easy to retaliate against compared to Kratos' style. Zelos also throws out other spells on occassion, nothing to worry about.

As for new stuff, he of course carries along Shining Bind and Divine Judgment. He activates Shining Bind at roughly the same HP that Kratos does, so it wasn't a biggie to switch Regal to healing to get him out of the way. As for D. Judgment, its a bit random after S. Bind. From what I've seen, he tends to aim for whoever is furthest away from him, which makes it nearly impossible to keep the target alive. Fortunately he has to cast it since its a spell, so as soon as you hear "Oresama no honki,..." you should run up to him and smack him with a Unison to effectively cancel D. Judgment from the battle.

So in essence, it's not TOO bad :/
