🎮 ABOUT THE GAME 🎮
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones is a tactical role-playing game developed by Intelligent Systems, and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance handheld video game console in 2004 for Japan and 2005 in the West. It is the eighth entry in the Fire Emblem series, the second to be released outside Japan, and the third and final title to be developed for the Game Boy Advance after The Binding Blade and its prequel Fire Emblem.
Set in a separate continuity to earlier Fire Emblem titles, The Sacred Stones takes place on the fictional continent of Magvel, which is divided into five nations, each built around a magical stone said to be linked to the imprisonment of an ancient demon. When one of the five nations, the Grado Empire, invades its neighbors and begins destroying the stones, protagonists Eirika and Ephraim of the royal family of Renais set out to gather allies and halt Grado's conquest, while also trying to uncover the reasons for the war. The gameplay is similar to previous Fire Emblem games, focusing on turn-based, tactical movement of units across a grid-based battlefield. Core features of the game include permanent death for characters defeated in battle and support conversations that grant advantages to certain units in battle.

Title: Can You Beat Fire Emblem The Sacred Stones Only Using Artur?

[@kratosmvn_]

What did you think of Artur's performance?

[@datbreadman7125]

Natasha will most definitely surpass him

[@mohamedihsaanahmed1830]

absolutely loved how he just tanked all those gorgons like a chad and almost made it out

[@kratosmvn_]

@@datbreadman7125 Bold prediction!

[@kratosmvn_]

@@mohamedihsaanahmed1830 Right? That was very nice to see lol

[@datbreadman7125]

I just realized Natasha starts with staves, so I'm interested to see how you'll overcome this hurdle or if you'll just skip it like the knoll run

[@Mondoboneable]

I think adding weapons to the early game when needed is just as valid as swapping Eirika for whatever unit you're testing. Like at some point you either do this or the answer to the question is "No, I can't solo the game." The early game needs weapons as much as it needs the character itself so it's perfectly valid to just add them in.

[@kratosmvn_]

Thank you for the feedback :)

[@shirrenthewanderer414]

I actually added a Fort in the Prologue and changed the AI in Chapter 1 for most of the units that initially spawn to "do not move" (to make sure Amelia can get to Franz without have Franz aggro anything.), so it makes Amelia runs out of the prologue and CH1 less of an RNG fest.

[@highwindjump88]

Artur as sage because of that sweet combat sprite.

[@kratosmvn_]

I meant to bring that up in the video, but completely forgot. That Sage sprite truly is *chef's kiss*

[@idontknowyet8540]

100% agree. I had a very similar thought process for my first Sacred Stones playthrough. I figured Bishop would be far more fitting of a promotion for Artur, but the contrast between the battle sprite's neat trim versus his bedhead in his portrait really bugged me, so I picked the class with the closer-matching hair and essentially used him like he was a cooler-looking Bishop lol.

[@bigslappy823]

The crit animation with throwing the crystals is just 😤👌

[@shayonmitra8337]

Couldn't agree more

[@sockmonkeyjg]

Plus I love anima magic

[@IcedragonofSolitude]

I like how the early weapon uses were handled here - if you were normally able to obtain a mage this early, there would almost assuredly be magic available in the shop.

[@kratosmvn_]

Thank you for the feedback, that's the exact same logic I went with!

[@TheMongral]

19:05 I can imagine the gorgons being so distracted by Artur just standing there that they die of stress or something. Gorgon A: I hit him! Gorgon B: Awesome, what’s he doing now? Gorgon A: He’s just standing there… Menacingly! Gorgon B: Oh god what do we do now?! *Gorgon A dies from fire tile* Gorgon B: Gorgon A? Oh god he got Gorgon A! *dies from fire tile* Truly Artur’s mere presence is the bane of monsters.

[@kratosmvn_]

The monsters simply could not handle his awesomeness haha

[@braedenmclean5304]

Artur wins by doing absolutely nothing

[@KiwiiPuma]

I think the Bishop class was the right call, simply because of Slayer. Sage would have taken more Turns because of the gorgons higher Res and without Slayer Purge would have done like 4 damage to the Demon King. Also S ranking gives you a +5 hit and +5 crit bonus on that weapon, adding that to the higher Crit chance on Light Tomes.

[@kratosmvn_]

Yeah, you're right with the skill / crit bonuses you get an even bigger argument towards using Bishop

[@gyppygirl2021]

I prefer making him a sage when I play, but if you're using him for a challenge run, bishop is the way to go. The bonus against monsters is just too good to pass up!

[@SS4312]

Re:Gorgon Stone. It functions like a status staff, which means it used 1RN in sacred stones. That 11% is actually 11%, and not the something like 2-3% it would be in 2RN.

[@kratosmvn_]

Wow, thanks for the info. I wasn't aware that staff used 1RN I thought it was all the same across the board.

[@davey_rulez7301]

@@kratosmvn_ crits also use 1RN

[@SuntanAlbino]

This was such a cool run, I always use Artur every playthrough and while Bishops are SUPER useful in this game for the obvious reason I always turn him into a Sage simply for the aesthetic of Sage's cool animations casting light magic

[@kratosmvn_]

I'm glad you enjoyed! Artur is very cool indeed, the Sage sprite does look way cooler though haha, a part of me wished I went down that route.

[@TheSmithPlays]

Always a good day when this guy uploads!! What if you beat sacred stones as Lyon? Scale is his level back to sage at 1, with whatever his actually bases are. I’d be so curious to watch him likely sweep through the game

[@samhall5096]

Lyon is actually a unique class, Necromancer. Essentially a unique summoner. He can summon phantoms. His base class would be shaman.

[@samhall5096]

His stats are pretty mediocre as a playable unit, but his caps are the highest in game. All 30 besides spd and skl at 25.

[@samhall5096]

Ho is obviously 60

[@kratosmvn_]

Thank you for saying this ❤ I would also be very curious to see how Lyon ends up going.

[@patrickrodriguez9124]

There is a FE8 reverse recruitment hack where Erika is replaced by shaman Leon.

[@craigyeah1052]

Man, so blessed by rng, I'm not sure how much of a difference it really made, but dang he got amazing levels.

[@kratosmvn_]

Right? RNG gotta go my way once in a while I guess!

[@brettsimard8439]

I didnt have any problems at first with the lute run but when you explained it like you did I think the shop in chapter 2 is a perfect solution for future mage runs

[@kratosmvn_]

Thank you for the feedback :)

[@kylegrefe4399]

Artur being an absolute lad is no suprise to me. There's a reason he's my favorite unit. I'm hoping for Colm next.

[@kratosmvn_]

I feel like he doesn't get talked about enough as one of the great units!

[@PLPEberronguy]

I have been loving this series, and can't wait to see more! This was my first Fire Emblem game and it will always have a very special place in my heart I think the characters I want to see most are Amelia, Myrrh, and Forde. On and Knoll who is the best character in the game by the will of the KZbin comments :p

[@kratosmvn_]

Glad you've been enjoying the series :) This was also my first game so I understand your feelings towards it :) All characters I can't wait to get to :)

[@knightofarnor2552]

Myyrh is impossible without multiple Dragonstones. Too many rout maps.

[@PLPEberronguy]

@@knightofarnor2552 I could see a special exception being made where Kratos adds buyable dragonstones. Either way will be up to him

[@kratosmvn_]

Yep, if I do end up running her fully, we'll have to try some sort of workaround for sure, but I think we may not end up ranking it depending on the level of shenanigans at play.

[@kinglyknight]

I know it isn't the biggest deal, but it was painful when you didn't immediately use the guiding ring as soon as hitting lvl 20, you only lost a little exp but the min/maxer in me was horrified. Great video 👍

[@kratosmvn_]

😂😂😂 honestly I get it! I was a little annoyed at myself, but I hadn't quite made up my mind.

[@kay_faraday]

I still can't wait for a run with my beloved Ephraim! Not sure if you would do that the same way but it would certainly be something.

[@kratosmvn_]

Can't wait to get to Ephraim also he's a great unit, just gotta pick the correct time to do it.

[@motokuchoma]

I'm wondering with the item buy rule how a Myrrh solo run would look like. If she has virtually unlimited Dragonstones she'd be far and away the best character.

[@highwindjump88]

I wonder if that's true. She has no promote, cap 20 speed, no ranged option, and weak to some weapon types. I think she'd struggle getting stoned a lot in late game.

[@kratosmvn_]

With the buy rule it'll be interesting how we approach Myrrh for sure as her situation is quite unique.

[@chaossnowkitsune6377]

Honestly? I think the buy rule would be perfect for a Myrrh run. Maybe make Dragon stones available at all shops(Or Armoury), but make them bit expensive. The other alternative as I mentioned would be to let her gain access to the monster weapons. (Claws, fangs and the like). Like maybe certain enemies will drop the enemy monster weapons after defeating them. With maybe whatever the weakest one(Which I think is the first stage dog monster's attack) given super early. That way you can save at least some Dragon stones for late game.

[@voltron77]

@@highwindjump88No she has 10 million res

[@motokuchoma]

@@highwindjump88 She has no promote but also the goddamn dragonstone and the highest growths in the game by far. The whole reason the Dragonstone is limited in this game is because she would absolutely destroy this game with negative difficulty if she had unlimited access to it.

If Knoll ever survives chapter 15 in one of these runs, he has to be the run immediately following

[@kratosmvn_]

Oh for sure!

[@meinman7591]

​@@kratosmvn_ is casually praying Knoll never survives

[@kratosmvn_]

Glad you enjoy friend! I do know about Pierce, it's my favourite Skill from Sacred Stones :)

[@EirMikah]

A very good run by Artur, better than I thought tbh :) The first shop item is a great idea... I wonder if you could put a similar rule for Myrrh for instance (although in other games one dragonstone costs at least 2,000 gold) Keep up the good work, your videos are really enjoyable to watch.

[@kratosmvn_]

Thank you very much! I think it may be an interesting strategy for Lute but we may approach it a little differently, we'll see.

[@ZappBranniglenn]

It's so clutch that Purge doesn't prompt the final boss to spawn more monsters each round. I wasn't expecting him to have such an easy time against Fomortis. He missed one Purge and health-wise it didn't even come down to last hit. I think we're running out of units that can actually complete this challenge. So I'm calling it now. Artur will remain in the #1 spot.

[@falsche921]

I wouldn't say there's a unit shortage at all - pretty much any unit with an attack that's not limited-use or bows-only can complete this challenge (Eirika can, Knoll can, Colm... absolutely sucks at this but he can). It's really only healers, archers and Myrrh who can't without bending some rules (or incredible RNG abuse). More importantly, we haven't seen fliers yet, and they are the ones with the best opportunities to save time and turns - Franz came close and he was bogged down in the desert, fliers would save a lot there... and on chapters 7, 10, 20... And Pierce > anything with enough attempts, so it's not like they'd ever get stuck.

[@kratosmvn_]

Purge truly came in as a great option. I think we'll still have a few that can complete the challenge, hopefully haha

[@AlbRomano]

​@@kratosmvn_ purge on Lute would have made that fight so much simpler too. Keep on trying new strats

[@MarkofWisdom]

@@falsche921 speaking of pierce...if you go with a wyvern knight, you've got to be careful of that freezing glitch if you get a....I think it was a crit pierce with a ranged weapon? That animation plays too quickly for the HP finishing going down from the first attack and the game freezes or something. I think animations being off prevents it though

[@GaIeforce]

Someone posted something about Lyon, and it's got me thinking... What if we posed an unpromoted run on any prepromoted unit? Where base stats are determined based on reverse average stat scaling. (while also subtracting promotion bonuses) Would probably destroy some of the prepromotes (particularly the secret characters) so going from 20 to 1 might be a bit much (maybe 10 would be the safe call here as most would probably promote at Lv10 anyways), but would present some interesting what-if scenarios (such as Syrene choosing to be a Wyvern Knight...)

[@kratosmvn_]

That could be a fun way to approach it, but I'd do that in a separate video from this series as the stat adjustment and de-leveling technically gives you a entirely different character imo.

[@GaIeforce]

@@kratosmvn_ Oh yeah absolutely. Would be a banger series to watch, honestly. I love what-if theories and seeing them in action, so it'd be fun to chow down.

[@ruggles_]

glad to see you took the item feedback and implemented a reasonable solution. good stuff :)

[@kratosmvn_]

Thank you 😊

[@AbdulAhad0128]

Babe wake up, new Kratosmvn upload

[@kratosmvn_]

😍😍😍

[@SorwestChannel]

I remember Arthur being my go-to unit for all stat boosts, he would be brute-forced into being the beast in all my saves.

[@kratosmvn_]

Great unit to invest into since he can dominate the Late game quite well!

[@MarkofWisdom]

Adding magic tomes to the first armory in chapter 2 seems like a really good way to handle the issue of running out of magic uses before getting access to the prep shop armory Artur's growths-his speed growth isn't super high, but he does have good base speed, meaning he has a much easier time getting levels early on because of being able to double, and more likely than not getting enough speed levels to double most things Wow, that chapter 5 dodge sequence was incredibly lucky. Neat to see he was able to get the early guiding ring. Your lvl 20 unpromoted Artur turned out incredibly well Sage vs Bishop-honestly bishop wins hands down for me, even if Sage has better magic and speed caps. The Slayer skill is just that good, especially since the bulk of the late game is against monsters, and that x3 damage will be especially nice against nasty enemies like dracozombies. Add in most enemies having lower resistance than defense, and the lower magic cap isn't usually that big a deal overall 21:11-the Ivaldi tome actually saved Artur here with its +5 defense, the cyclops would have killed him without that boost. Unfortunate about that deathgoyle getting a lucky hit though to finish him off... Neat usage of purge at the end to weaken the demon king

[@kratosmvn_]

We ended being very blessed with Artur for sure. Bishop was definitely the way to go after all given how much work Slayer put in and with the combo at the end with Purge got us the win.

[@OneColdRepublican]

[@moeminimomo]

Great Vid! Artur's definitely an amazing unit. One note, you could've probably cleared this way better if you hadn't used an elixer upon fighting Leon, you had enough HP to take one hit, and using the Elixer AFTER Leon would've hit you would've left with your 1 more use for the Demon King. Which would've saved you on that first attempt. So I dare say Artur's definitely Rank 1, for sure. Sure, you might argue Lute was slowed down by the moving around, but Artur would've been done WAY faster if you hadn't made the mistake there. Overall, I'd argue that Artur's definitely the best performance so far!

[@kratosmvn_]

Thank you :) Yeah there were a couple of inconsistencies in the turn count unfortunately.

[@setythewindsage6576]

Alright here is a run no one will bring up but might as well say it. Myrrh run, given her strength beating the game is possible but seeing the speed in which she can would be cool. And while you can’t beat the game in one dragon stone maybe trying to beat the game in as few dragons stones as possible can be cool. Just a thought for ways it could be more interesting to see the fun of super high power units.

[@kratosmvn_]

Yeah, I like the idea. Instead of 'how fast can you beat the game with Myrrh' it would be more 'how many dragonstones does it take to beat the game with Myrhh'

[@mateobonavento3939]

Dude, I'm super jealous of that unpromoted Artur. I've been doing my first ironman run inspired by yours and my Artur has a measly 11 speed at level 14. I was sure he'd be awesome as he usually is (most of my Arturs end up like the one in the video), but now that the stakes are high this man is incapable of doubling enemies he normally should. At least he's still alive at the end of chapter 13 and he's good bait for Luna users, but the Guiding Ring is going to Natasha this time. I love that shop solution! I'm sure mages being able to restock there would be a thing in vanilla if we had Lute and Artur available that early. We can buy Flux a bit earlier than needed after all.

Ooh, a solo run This is the first I've seen of Sacred Stones, and with Artur no less I love Artur, he was definitely my ace Because for whatever reason he decided to cap his Defense somehow? And also still capping Resistance, so he was just a total wall that no one could handle But yeah in general his above average stats are great and light magic is awesome for the extra crit so, yeah

[@kratosmvn_]

Artur is a fantastic character for sure and the extra crit from light magic is always fun to have.

[@robindaniel5266]

I really appreciate youre videos ! :) But i have a problem , the more i watching stuff like this ..the more i want to play this game for myself :D never did that in the past. Do you own an orginal copy for a GBA or do you have a another media ? Maybe you have an answer for me , in any case...thx for the nice content ! :)

[@kratosmvn_]

Thank you for the comment, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! For these videos I use an emulator personally for video capturing and modding reason to allow these runs to happen.

[@hungrytaco6879]

Still gotta have that Knoll run

[@kratosmvn_]

Eventually... 🤣

[@Zerononame]

Looking forward to the next video love this series so much

[@kratosmvn_]

Thank you I'm glad you enjoy these videos

[@silgalow3213]

Knoll next time! My man is super fun to use as a summoner.

[@kratosmvn_]

Summoner do be a very fun class!

[@_PennyRoYaL]

YES YOU CAN HE IS THE GOAT his bishop goes crazy

[@kratosmvn_]

His Bishop does truly go brrrrrr

[@datbreadman7125]

HAHA I GOT MENTIONED AT THE END OF THE VIDEO!!! NATASHA IS SO PROUD OF ME!!!

[@kratosmvn_]

Yep one of the perks of being a member :)

[@andreijoaquin7342]

Maybe after all the work deussel has done to protect epharaim should do a solo run on him

[@kratosmvn_]

That's a very neat idea, I think he would deserve it!

[@serbiastrong948]

KratosMVN i have an idea when you do every sacred stones character do them again but with diffrent classes and the average all the scores.

[@kratosmvn_]

I have thought about it. It's a good idea, might look into doing another series after this one is up, but no promises. TBD

[@bad_ill5626]

Slayer ability is super broken lol. It destroys the difficult chapter easily. But I would love to see how the flying unit performs for solo runs. Will they have trouble due to the large number of archers and no terrain bonus, or will their ability to move without penalty be very useful? Maybe Vanessa will be a good choice to take revenge on your 1st ironman lol

[@kratosmvn_]

Slayer really went crazy. There are a lot of interesting components to flyer that I can't wait to test out.

[@nearthe2nd]

You could technically edit the solo run unit to replace the other lord with all of the stat gains you've gotten, if you want to run both the eirika & ephraim routes.

[@kratosmvn_]

That's true, but always going through the same route/process does keep an internal consistency that I like.

[@loganfoote622]

Ready for Knoll to be modded as a starter and you play him through :)

[@kratosmvn_]

I'm not ready 😂

[@pachie0]

Colm run would be cool no pressure

[@kratosmvn_]

I'd love to do Colm soon enough :)

[@serbiastrong948]

Yes sir a new video.

[@kratosmvn_]

Glad you're excited :)

[@VangolaGear]

Sage damage= 28+(18x2)-Res= 64-Res Bishop damage= 26+(12x3)-Res=62-Res. Honestly, it’s fairly close. But this does favor Sage slightly as this calculation considers Aura instead of Ivaldi. Aura has 5 less accuracy, weighs 2 more, and has less uses. BUT, Aura does have a slightly higher crit chance. Though you’re far more likely to double with Ivaldi due to the +5 speed and lower weight.

[@VangolaGear]

Other things of note: most monster magic (and Lyon) is dark type, which has weapon triangle disadvantage against Light while having advantage against Anima. I Iirc staff accuracy also takes Res into account, which gives Bishop a higher advantage. Bishop also has advantage against most enemies as the game progresses due to Slayer, meaning basic enemies outside of bosses will actually be easier to deal with than Sage.

[@VangolaGear]

Correction. I was saying Ivaldi but I meant Excalibur.

[@kratosmvn_]

Thanks for the calculation! So yeah pretty close, but still slight advantage to Sage, however our Bishop did great nonetheless haha

[@VangolaGear]

@@kratosmvn_ I think Bishop was the right call, tbh. The Slayer ability made it deal with all the monsters up to the final boss easier to deal with. The benefits provided by Slayer outweighed the slight damage advantage provided by Sage.

[@justhenry2221]

My Artie actually ended up with really high defense, so I mainly used him as a healer/tank, and had moulder use the ivaldi tome. (Also, can we get a knoll solo run?)

[@kratosmvn_]

Dang the tank Artur, sounds like a fun run. (I'll get to Knoll eventually).

[@sethandres6]

YES IVE BEEN WANTING TO SEE THIS ONE!😭

[@kratosmvn_]

Awesome! Hope you enjoyed :D

[@Holacalaca]

Fuck yeah you can Arthur's the GOAT

[@kratosmvn_]

Truly is 😎

[@FishSandvich]

allowing the purchase of weapons regardless of class at that first shop is fair, because otherwise you'd just be restarting the run over and over fishing for crits which isn't fun for anyone.

[@kratosmvn_]

Agreed! Thank you for the feedback.

[@akenohononiku916]

I'm curious though, how did you mod the game so that Artur can seize thrones? I like doing solos too, but having to protect the lord and dragging them to the throne tends to be quite tedious Oh nvm, literally just saw a vid on how to do it on your channel 2 minutes ago

[@kratosmvn_]

Hopefully you can try that yourself for future runs :)

[@joelpatrickginez9461]

Using Artur as a sage can make a big difference when using the Sacred Twin Tome Ivaldi, it'll activate it's effectivity against monsters and it's more powerful.

[@kratosmvn_]

If I turn him to Sage I'd level up his anima and use Excalibur because it's simply a better tome.

[@chaossnowkitsune6377]

Hmm... just thought of something. What do you think of maybe at some point(At least after you do Ephraim's run) where you do another run for Erika and Ephraim(as in a second solo run each of them) but with one small change. That being they have access to their class up item from the start? That way we can see how much better they would do if they could class up sooner then after chapter 16. Again just an idea, but I thought it might be interesting

[@kratosmvn_]

It's an interesting idea which I'll def keep in mind for later, could be fun to see how things change for them.

[@chaossnowkitsune6377]

My honest guess to how that would change things for the two is That Erika would be helped greatly. While Ephraim not as much. Oh don't get me wrong it will help a lot, but Ephraim honestly will probably do really good anyway. Especially in the easier Erika route. I don't think it will help the twins as much as it would some other Lords in the Series. Like Eliwood or Hector from FE7 for example.

[@zephyfoxy]

From my experience with FE hacking I believe Lyon is hard-coded to always have 0% hit rate for any status-inflicting staff, like sleep and silence, altho with his res it'd be really hard anyway.

[@kratosmvn_]

Ohhhh, that does make a lot of sense, thanks for the heads up.

[@Mingronator]

Love this solo runs. Question: have you considered doing path of radiance runs? Iron man or solo. Would love to watch, so many good memories with that game

[@kratosmvn_]

Thank you :) Yes, I have. I'm planning stuff on other games as we speak, but they might be a tiny bit down the line :)

[@chaossnowkitsune6377]

I would love to see runs for the three Laguz(Is that how it is spelled?) rulers that you get at the end of the game. For no other reason then because it would be funny to see how badly they rekt seeing as their stats are bullshit(Especially the lion one) and That they can always be in their beast forms without penalty

[@thierrybeer4771]

Thanks for another video👌 But something bothers me quite little.... Why is hair gone and where is knoll?😂

[@kratosmvn_]

Knoll who? haha for the hair do you mean Artur's sprite as a Bishop? Cause that is odd yeah lol

[@thierrybeer4771]

Noup... I mean your hair🤣. Saw your Ironmanrun, you had short hair.

[@kratosmvn_]

Ohhhh, haha I wasn't sure. Just got a little haircut was getting too long lol

[@samhall5096]

Can we talk about the fact that Garm has +5 speed and the only one who gets weighed down is great knight Amelia by 1 point with body ring? Gleipnir has +3mt but +7Con and gives skl+5. You have knoll/ewan with 10con after body ring. That is -10spd. Have fun getting doubled by the final boss if your speed is

[@samhall5096]

Knoll may very well be impossible to solo.

[@samhall5096]

You might have to use Eclipse strats. 🤨

[@kratosmvn_]

Yep, one of the many reason I think Knoll be end up being quite tough.

[@ParagonPKC]

Summoner glitching this game to teach bishops to use Naglfar so I can one shot draco-zombies is the most fun I've had in a game

[@Youboremenow]

Is it not possible to go the Ephraim route at all? Could you not replace seth with the chosen solo character and then send 'seth' with Ephraim? Additionally fucking love these videos.

[@kratosmvn_]

It is possible. It just requires a lot more tinkering on my end, but I won't do the test (at least yet) to simply keep a certain level of internal consistency. Thank you, I'm very glad you enjoy the videos 😊

[@sindrisuncatcher653]

Fun fact: because fire emblem games determine hit chance by rolling 0-99 twice and taking the average, a displayed hit rate of 11 means your actual chance of getting hit is roughly 2.53%. I would say that was the luckiest Gorgon ever, if she didn't burn to death right after.

[@mauricesteel4995]

Status staves and Stone use single RNG so 11% is 11%.

[@sindrisuncatcher653]

@@mauricesteel4995 huh. I always thought that Stone was just a dark attack with a gimmick. So hey if they're secretly staff wielders, that means every gorgon is actually proficient in healing magic, right?
