Boss 10: Jabir Clone
Back in the control room Adol chases after Rizze down a newly opened passage leading underground. He eventually catches up to her, finding the captured Niena and Ibur Gang as well. As she takes them away to where the Philosopher's Stone rests, a voice rings out, barring Adol passage to witness Kefin's rebirth. A figure blindingly appears, and beyond a flash the figure's projection lashes out at the red-haired adventurer with a strong assortment of alchemy.
════════════════════════════
This boss is pretty much here to break the pace between the game's two toughest fights, and at the end of the day Jabir's clone suffers from Adol being really bulky at this point in the game. Though he has a lot more attacks, he goes down about as quickly as Baruq.
Jabir's Clone floats around the field and, similar Karion, uses one of six elemental attacks based on the color the crystals turn:
Green/Wind:
Typically his most used attack, though he didn't use it in this take at all. Jabir shoots a stream of air that runs along the ground at Adol (to my Tales viewers, think Air Blade but much smaller). It's his least threatening attack, which makes it bad for him that he likes to spam it.
Blue/Water:
Jabir disappears and rains down icicles from the ceiling across the whole field. The shards sporadically spaced yet very fast, but you can block them easily if you know the attack is coming. It's one of the clone's more rare attacks.
Red/Fire:
Meteors rain down on the field. It can't be blocked, so it all comes down to your initial positioning and ability to read the shadows of the meteors. Not too common of an attack, but one of his more threatening ones.
Dark Yellow~Brown: Earth
Jabir's Clone summons a small field of erupting earth in the form of possibly noxious gasses. Easily his rarest attack, and probably the hardest one to read. If you aren't moving you're most likely to get tagged by it once or twice, but prematurely moving vertically is a pretty good counter to it.
Yellow/Light:
The clone shoots a few small discs that home in on Adol. A very common attack along with his wind one, but the discs are easy to block
Black/Darkness:
Jabir's Clone shoots off two larger discs which travel slowly, but have pretty good tracking on Adol. I'd say this is the apparition's most threatening attack considering you have to plan out your route a little since they have pretty wide hitboxes and Adol isn't in a hurry in this game. Learning to dodge them isn't too hard as long as you overestimate the space you'll need to move.
Jabir's Clone does nothing else while attacking, and can typically have big periods between his attacks when he's just floating. Like Karion, attacking him from the side of back does sweet spot damage and makes this end that much faster. Every so often you'll miss because he decides to teleport, but catching up to him is no problem. Once you get his movement pattern down, it becomes really easy to intercept his floating and get a lot of damage in a short amount of time.
════════════════════════════
The path to the Philosopher's Stone re-opens, and Adol heads in to stop the city's restoration and save his companions.
