So ya have a favorite video game. But there's that one part you kind dread redoing despite loving it but you're mature enough to see past a flaw or two.

Really that's probably the reason this fight sticks out to me so much because holy crap does it suck so let's count the ways.

First the fight begins with you surrounded by her and her robots and she will always open with her S-Craft which has over a 50% chance to instakill whomever it hits and she can do this multiple times throughout the fight. There is an accessory to block death but you only have 2 of them max and that's not gonna save you from the other problems so you basically just need to sack a proxy puppet and practically waste an accessory slot to have a real chance.

Second all of her attacks have the ability to instakill you though thankfully most of them are only 10-20% it's still a higher than zero chance and calamity throw has infinite range.

Third those robots have infinite range and spam gorgon laser which can hit multiple party members. These lasers have a high chance of inflicting either poison or petrify and there's six enemies blasting you. When I loaded up this file I only had one petrification blocker on hand. If a character is petrified they are unable to move or act and should they be hit while petrified they instantly die regardless of deathblock which is kind of a problem when this boss fight has you dealing with 6 enemies and a boss that all have piercing infinite ranged attacks. Taking attacks from 7 enemies at once can be a significant drain on your resources.

Fourth is the fact that this fight takes place in chapter 7 which is around the end of the 2/3rd mark of the game so you're strong but don't have your best techniques learned yet and grinding isn't really a thing since this game has scaled experience. The only real screen nuke you have will be on Joshua who does good damage but not enough to one shot the robots.

Fifth chapter 7 doesn't let you head to towns to get items you're just running through four dungeons so you can't really stock up if you need better items.

Sixth you have to fight Pater Mater immediately afterwards and his AI is weird he can either smack you across the map for half your HP or just run into you. He also has an instakill move and a deadly laser attack but he won't use it in this fight, probably because he's holding Renne. It's not that bad but it's still another massive chunk of HP to go through.

I do love this game, heck my channel is named after one of it's characters, and I do plan to revisit it as a full video series in the near future. But this fight stings because it's so much instakill BS. Honestly bad bosses in great games always sting more that horrible bosses in bad games.
