Page 1: Observations[]
- Scion that is both horse and woman, wielding utter control over the souls that wander the underworld, in opposition to the Martyr Igeyorlm, scion of light. Though she once served the gods as a guardian, when Ultima announced her rebellion, Shemhazai went to her, whispering of the gods' hidden weaknesses. She then descended upon the land without leave of the gods, and taught men of destruction and evil. For this was she stricken down and bound.

Battle[]
Shemhazai has a random elemental weakness. She can cast Silencega or use Syphon to drain about 20–30% of a character's MP. Her standard attacks are ranged and have a chance of dealing critical hits or inflicting Disease. She also uses Shock and Flare.
When her health depletes by 80%, Shemhazai will ready Chain-Magick, which cancels her magick charge time. During this time, she likes to blast high-level Black Magick spells.
Strategy[]
Having Shell helps. It is advised to use non-elemental weapons. By luck, one can squeeze in a Dispel before being inflicted by Silence. Shell can be used to reduce the rate of being inflicted with statuses, and the party can use Rose Corsage to protect against Silence and have Serums (Vaccine) ready for Disease.
If the player has a low enough level character, the Accuracy underflow bug can be used to continuously inflict Immobilize on her, making the battle trivial.
