There is a bit more dialogue, then you’re given control of the party. Heal up and save. The final confrontation awaits. Step through the doors and into a shimmering crystal throne room. Krynia is sitting on the throne.
Krynia: *stands* You’ve come at last.
Blitz: This ends now, Krynia. Today is the day that you die.
Melana: …wait. *to Krynia* Do you have any idea of the suffering that you’ll cause if you continue your course of action? Do you think the people down there will want you to rule them?
Krynia: They will bow to me or they and their planet will be destroyed.
Melana: And what if they prefer their own destruction to your rule?
Krynia: They are cowards. They are weak. They would rather live in fear than die in a flash of light.
Ophi: Krynia, there’s still time… time for you to stop all of this! That person who befriended us before…
Krynia: That person does not exist.
Ophi: No, she does! You… you were sad when you told us about being all alone here… deep down, there’s still a part of you that wishes to-
Krynia: NO! I have always intended to rule the world, from the moment I was born to the moment I seized the Celestriad’s power.
Artemis: There’s no reasoning with someone like her. We have to kill her, before the Celestriad’s power becomes absolute!
Ophi: *with tears in her eyes* Then why were you trying to bring your little brother back…? Was it just to make us not want to break the seal, or did you regret that he would never grow up? He loves you, he told us!
Krynia: My love for my family does not diminish my contempt for everyone outside it. Are you all really that naïve that you would try to talk ME down? After you promised everyone else that you would kill me? Are you lying to them just as I lied to you? *she smiles* It’s funny… before you came, I fully intended to allow you all to serve under me as my knights. You or anyone else who brought the Celestriad to me. Can’t you feel it? The power coursing within all of you? All the people who NEED your protection… they need you, but you don’t need them.
Blitz: You’re wrong… you have no idea how many people helped us get here, to get stronger! People you had a hand in killing!
Krynia: Actually, if I recall, most of them died at the hands of the Gozans and Kunarians, the very people you’re now trying to save from their own stupidity. Your goals and mine are the same.
Blitz: No. We will NEVER join you.
Krynia: Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance.
Ophi: The feeling is mutual… *bows her head*
*The Celestriad’s power courses into Krynia’s body. She draws her sword.*
Krynia: I am the rightful ruler of this planet! Bow down before me!
Blitz: Never!
BOSS: Krynia (HP: 95,000)
Krynia will start the fight by immediately casting Impregnable Barrier, making herself completely immune to physical attacks. She then casts Reflect, which will cause anything cast at her to reflect back onto the party. Of course, spells such as Scourge, Meteor, and Ultima aren’t affected, so start bombarding her with them immediately. Eventually, her Impregnable Barrier will fade and you can hit her with physical attacks as well, though her defense is unnaturally high and she has something called Absolute Limit which will make ALL attacks cap at 9999, even your most powerful Full-Force Attacks with No Damage Limit. Her attacks consist of a normal sword swipe (around 2,000 damage to a single party member) and an array of magical attacks, including standard high-level spells and special attacks such as Blinding Light (2,000+ damage to the party). She can also utilize a physical special where she leaps high into the air and then comes down on a party member with her sword, impaling them for an instant KO.
