Eternal Sonata - Optional Boss: The Great EZI/Bouncing EZI, EZI Holy Light x2

The boss fought at the end of the Church of EZI. It's unique in that it's the only boss that has two different forms, depending on if it's in the light or dark. In the light, The Great EZI only attacks with special attacks, those being Great EZI Roller and Great EZI Press, both of which are highly damaging. It can also heal itself or its allies with Great EZI Heal, and revive its allies with Great EZI Revive. The Great EZI is extremely beefy, both in terms of HP total and defenses.
In the dark, the boss transforms into Bouncing EZI and becomes much easier. It gains a regular attack, and has a different arsenal of specials: EZI Dig and EZI Lightning. Bouncing EZI has far less HP than The Great EZI, and has much lower defenses as well.
You'll want to keep the boss in the dark as much as possible, so taking out the EZI Holy Lights asap is a good idea. Any equipment or accessories that can help get through EZI's HP faster is also helpful - EZI has the most HP of any boss in the game, so even if you know what you're doing this will likely be a long fight. Depending on how much the boss feels like trolling you, it might revive the EZI Holy Lights repeatedly, but they'll have less HP and will no longer have Shining Body after they get revived, making it easier to keep the boss in the dark.

This game really needs to be remastered for Ps4 and 5

[@cadenza_m400]

I would love to see that happen, but unfortunately I don't think it's very likely.

That is yet to be confirmed@@cadenza_m400
