Description An extremely brutal first boss. Lemme explain...

So, pretty much, this monster just about has no weakness, except for maybe being a tad slow (although not slow enough to reliably be doubled, mind you). It's hard to kill with its hefty 35 HP and solid Defence, and hits back extremely hard, in the sense that its physical attack will probably leave you at Death's Door (or worse).
The worst part about it is definitely its + shaped AOE Freeze 3 attack, which will probably hit about 3 or so dudes with its massive range. It'll probably kill everyone hit by it in a single strike, including the protagonist if he isn't positioned well.

To make matters even worse, the Marionette is joined by two Dire Clowns that hang out just below it. Dire Clowns aren't as bad since they can only do melee attacks, but they almost sting as much as the Marionette does. Taking them out may or may not be the best move, depending on how you want to go about it.

Not the worst boss in the game, tho. Kane is definitely more OP.

The Shining Force series seems to have a fetish for ridiculously hard (real) first bosses. In SF2, it was the Kraken and his arms and legs in a defense map. In SF3, well...

120 HP?! That's absolutely insane! Here I was, thinking 70 was a bad stretch.

The last boss (Chapter 3) has like 2.4k, so 150 is probably fine, the problem is all the mooks can 2 shot almost everyone and there are lots of them
