| - Maldicion |
Maldicion is the boss of purified Zone 2, and represents the zodiac sign of Cancer. It can be found by the remains of the amusement park. It is exclusive to the 2025 remaster.
Profile[]
Appearance[]
Maldicion is a crab, covered in bulbs, with pitch-black eyes, an underside covered in small holes, and seemingly three antennae atop its head.
Personality[]
They are erratic and seem to live in a waking, ever-changing dream. They are uncomfortable with change, but they welcome it, as they are change made manifest.
In Battle[]
Maldicion will periodically inflict itself and your party members with Impure, a status effect that makes one weak to a certain element. Which element that is will be displayed on top of the screen upon infliction or selection of the inflicted. Maldicion will also occasionally create a bubble to shield itself, this bubble will itself be Impure. Maldicion may hold up to two bubbles at once.
It, along with Source and Psalmanazar and Herodotus, must be defeated in order to gain access to Justus.

Dialogue[]
Pre-Combat
Maldicion:New things are happening again.
I don't feel like I can trust you.
I had a bad dream, a different one.
I will crush your bones until all that's left is a stinky mash.
And this mash will turn into something else, and it will never stop.
You can't prepare.
During Combat
Maldicion:Did I tell you about my bad dream? It changed again.
You're in it now, you're in it and there's a house around you that's collapsing.
True love will have to wait.
After-Combat
Maldicion:It seems contradictory, but I like the turn of events we're facing.
Thank you for your visit.
I curse You and I wish you a good continuation in the business world.
Trivia[]
- Maldicion means 'curse' in Spanish.
- The soundtrack labels it as Malediction instead, which is the English equivalent.
