|/_/\_\___|___|___||Razor Swipe [20 Damage, Physical]                          |
|__________________|Tail Laser  [50 Damage, Physical]                          |
|BASIC STATISTICS: |Laser Beam  [275 Damage, Physical, Phase 2 Only]           |
|------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|HP: 1500 (Phase 1)| Being the game's first boss, it certainly doesn't pose    |
|HP: 1900 (Phase 2)| that much of a threat than its dangerous appearance might |
|Weakness: ???     | trick you in thinking.                                    |
|                  |                                                           |
|                  | The battle consists of two phases.  In the first, the boss|
|                  | only attacks with its swipe attack (~20 Damage) or its    |
|                  | Tail Laser attack (~50 Damage), both fairly weak attacks. |
|                  |                                                           |
|                  | Physical Attacks work best against the boss, and will     |
|                  | definitely inflict the most damage.  Sazh also pummels the|
|                  | boss, but he's a much better healer, and his physical     |
|                  | attacks inflict neglectable damage.                       |
|                  |                                                           |
|                  | The boss gains access to a powerful Laser Beam attack in  |
|                  | the second phase of battle, and this inflicts a solid 275 |
|                  | Damage on both Lightning and Sazh.  Pound the boss with   |
|                  | more physical attacks while Sazh focuses on healing, and  |
|                  | it'll go down in no time.  Don't bother using the Launch  |
|                  | command, as it doesn't work against the boss.             |

|Sazh: "Phew..! You did it!"                                                   |
|Sazh: "If you're a soldier then protect the citizens alright?!"               |
|Sazh: "Aren't you with the army? Why don't you tell me something?"            |
|Sazh: Like why you're going up against Purge..."                              |
|Lightning: "..I left the army."                                               |
