Alchemic Ooze is an enemy in Final Fantasy XIII first encountered in the Fifth Ark. It is fought when two Phosphoric Ooze merge.
Stats[]
Battle[]
Its Poison-inducing physical attack is considerably stronger than the Phosphoric Ooze's physical attack, and the duration of the status effect is longer. Its starting HP is equal to the current HP of the Phosphoric Ooze who activated the Merge multiplied by ten. Alchemic Ooze should be avoided as it is not only more powerful than the Phosphoric Ooze, it also takes longer to kill, which ruins the player's post-battle rating, and the item and CP rewards for its defeat are no greater than those of a Phosphoric Ooze.
Etymology[]
The word "alchemist" comes from "alchemy". The latter comes from Old French alquemie, alkimie, used in Medieval Latin as alchymia. This name was itself brought from the Arabic word al-kīmiyā (الكيمياء or الخيمياء) composed of two parts: the Late Greek term khēmeía (χημεία) and the Arabic definite article al- (الـ), meaning "the". The Arabic word al-kīmiya borrows from the Coptic word for "Egypt", kēme.
Alchemy is an influential philosophical tradition whose practitioners have, from antiquity, claimed it to be the precursor to profound powers. Its defining objectives vary but historically have included the creation of the fabled philosopher's stone, transmuting base metals into the noble metals, and developing an elixir of life to confer youth and longevity.
Though alchemy played a significant role in the development of early modern science, it differs from modern science in its inclusion of Hermetic principles and practices related to mythology, magic, religion, and spirituality.
