Vadise (ヴァディス Vadisu) is a major boss character from the Dragon story arc of Legend of Mana. Revered as the Dragon Princess, Vadise resides in The White Forest, where she stands guard over the Mana Stone that she has been entrusted with. She commands the fealty of Sierra, who serves as her personal dragoon.
Personality[]
Of the three protectors of the Mana Stones, Vadise is of a disposition that is significantly milder and genteel, seeking to resolve problems that come her way through pacifist means instead of resorting to violence. This fact is made especially evident in The Dragon Princess, where she stops Sierra's attempt to lay siege on Larc, thereafter calmly surrendering the Mana Stone to him.
Vadise is also known to be one who is immensely benevolent, a fact that sees her selflessly expending her draconic power in order to protect both Sierra and the Hero/Heroine from perishing in the midst of the uprising of The Flames. This benevolence of hers is one that is further extended through her assuming a spiritual form for the purpose of continuing to provide guidance to Sierra and the Hero/Heroine at the entrance of The Flames.
Legend of Mana[]
The Dragon Princess[]
Vadise awaits at the end of The White Forest alongside Sierra. Sierra promptly prepares to take the team in battle, but is prevented by Vadise, who calmly surrenders the Mana Stone of her protection to Larc. After his leaving, she asks the Hero/Heroine for help against Drakonis, and tests them out on a battle.
The Crimson Dragon[]
She accompanies the team to the entrance of The Flames on her spiritual form, guiding and guarding them from the rising of Drakonis' lair. She is also present after the collapse of it, at the entrance of the Underworld.
Boss Stats[]
Vadise is fought as the boss of The Dragon Princess. She is accompanied by Sierra. Larc leaves the party immediately before this battle.
Vadise remains stationary for most of the battle. If pushed away, she teleports back to her starting position and becomes invulnerable briefly.
She has the following attacks:
- Tail whip (long reach, knocks back)
- Special: Vadise breathes ice over an area in front of her
Visions of Mana[]
- "Vadise is one of the Dragons of Knowledge. She is stunningly beautiful and covered with pale fur as soft as spun silk, which matches her genteel disposition. She is said to be able to peer into the future and so harbors deep concerns for the fate of the world."
- —Vadise's profile description.
Vadise returns in this game, as a servant and emissary of the Mana Goddess. She is paired with Trent as the keeper of the Mana Sanctuary. She tests Val's party's mettle to see whether they are ready to hear the truth they seek. Judging them worthy and peeking into their future, she creates a bridge of light towards the Tree of Mana, where Khoda tells them the truth about Qi'Diel and Daelophos.
Boss Battle[]
Vadise does not attack the heroes directly, instead summoning monsters and losing life-points when they are destroyed. She is at level 32 (though she can be higher depending on the heroes' own levels). After destroying a wave of them, she conjures elemental crystals and poses a riddle about the one that must be destroyed. If the heroes chose wrong, she summons a wave of mightier monsters.
- When she says "Extinguish the bane that threatens to incinerate all", the heroes must target the red Fire Crystal.
- When she says "Expel the knowledge that leads mortals astray", the heroes must target the purple Shadow Crystal. (Shade being the patron of knowledge and its pursuit in this game.)
- When she says "Discern your truth, and yours alone!" the heroes must locate the Light Crystal before they all get colorless. (Lumina being the patron of truth, secrets and memories in this game.)
