“Do not detest the darkness. That is all you need to know. Words are your powers. The Goddess will speak to you with Her powers. If you know you can handle that power, then proceed.”
—Pokiehl
The Mana Goddess is the final boss of Legend of Mana. She is encountered in the namesake quest.
Overview[]
The Goddess is a physical fighter who follows the Hero at roughly half the Hero's speed and uses both piercing, slashing and blunt attacks.
The background of the battle has a lunar eclipse in progress, which changes some of the Goddess' attacks depending on its state.
Special attacks[]
- The Goddess creates a widening whirling vortex of air and rocks (Effect: Poison).
- The Goddess changes into a knight, then delivers several fast sword strikes.
- The Goddess changes into a butterfly mage in flapping robes. She gathers a massive sphere of black matter and launches it at the ground in front of her, creating a massive explosion (Effect: Confusion).
- The Goddess changes into an ungarbed rose-purple figure. She creates a planet-like image, which sends out a wide wave of energy (Fully lit scene).
- The Goddess changes into an ungarbed rose-purple figure. A ray of energy emits from the moon and cleaves across the screen twice (Fully eclipsed scene).
Music theme[]
The track for the encounter with the Goddess is Gloaming, alternatively called Silence of Time. It is a more sinister sounding, faster-paced version of the game's main theme.
