'''[[Karsh]]''' is a boss fought in ' | '''[[Karsh]]''' is a boss fought in {{CC}}. One of the Four [[Deva]]s, Karsh is fought twice as a boss throughout the game. Upon his first encounter, he is accompanied by the [[Shaker Brothers]]. In his second encounter, he shows up along with [[Marcy (Boss)|Marcy]] and [[Zoah (Boss)|Zoah]]. In battle, Karsh wields [[Axe]]s and sports some potent [[Tech]]s. He has long purple hair and wears a white outfit, adorned with Oriental flower and leave patterns. | ||
==Battle and Strategy== | |||
===Cape Howl=== | |||
Hearing a rumor that a young man named [[Serge]] has been resurrected from the dead and now wanders [[Another World]]'s [[El Nido]] as a ghost, he traces the boy to [[Cape Howl]]. Believing he has the boy pinned, he suggests the boy come along quietly to avoid bloodshed. At that moment, a rough-looking [[Kid|girl]] jumps from a rock, insults the man, and forces battle upon them. Alongside Serge, this unnamed girl fights using a dagger. The player has full control over this temporary party member. | |||
Accompanied by [[Solt (Enemy)|Solt]] and [[Peppor (Enemy)|Peppor]], the incompetent Shaker Brothers, Karsh learns that Serge is a [[White (Element)|White]] [[Innate]], to which he asks his companions if they remembered to bring [[Black (Element)|Black]]. Ever forgetful and clumsy, the two did not and are forced to fight normally. | |||
This battle is relatively easy. Keep [[Hit Point]]s high and give them every trick in Serge's arsenal. The Shaker Brothers will attack more frequently than Karsh for low amounts of damage, given this battle is one of the first boss battles in ''Chrono Cross''; Karsh, on the other hand, attacks very infrequently, but when he does, it hurts. After winning the battle, Serge usually obtains the [[Bone Axe]]. This item is not worth keeping, since Axe-wielding characters are not recruited until much later. He is better off disassembling it at the [[Smithy]] of Karsh's parents in [[Termina]] and crafting newer, more useful, items from the materials. | |||
===Mount Pyre=== | |||
After fighting the [[Shaker Brothers]] and the [[Fire Dragon]], Serge encounters the [[Deva]]s, who forbid his entrance into [[Fort Dragonia]]. Alongside Karsh battles Karsh and Zoah. During the battle, when striking with his Axe, he says "You enjoy pain, don't you?", regardless of whom she attacks. Occasionally throughout the battle, he can cast [[AxialAxe]] and [[DragonRider]]. Should [[Poshul]], [[Mel]], or [[Funguy]] be present during this battle, it is wise to defeat Karsh first out of three Devas, as his techs will cause added damage to [[Yellow (Element)|Yellow]] Innates. After defeating him, he runs out of the room alongside her companions. [[Harle]] then appears to ask Serge if he plans to enter the Fort to find [[Lynx]]. She worries about his safety and recommends not adventuring into the Fort beyond. Afterward, she disappears. | |||
It is a good idea to [[Pilfer]] or [[Snatch]] Karsh's [[AeroBlaster]], as the Element is uncommon at this point in the game. Additionally, Zoah's [[Stamina Ring]] is a relatively rare find, whether the player chooses to equip it as an [[accessory]] or simply dismantle it, acquiring one is still advised, as it too is a uncommon item at this point in the game. | |||
