This page contains unmarked spoilers. Read at your discretion.


  • Yufa's little sister, Elle, jumping into the gladiator pit to protect Felix from the bull. Before Adol and Dogi can jump in to help, Yufa moves first, transforms into Raging Bull, grabs the bull by the horns then hurls the entire damn thing aside.
  • After spending half the game benched, Dogi finally gets a bit of the limelight in Chapter 6's Strongman sidequest. The Colosseum is looking to hold its annual tournament, and neither of the Monstrum's usual physical powerhouses, Krysha nor Yufa, can enter, seeing as they'd need their transformed states to stand a chance. So, Adol calls in a powerhouse who stands on his own without any curses required: The Wallcrusher. In Dogi's first match, he gets put up against the previous year's champion. The poor bastard goes down with Dogi's first punch. And it just kinda keeps going from there.
  • When Credo finally gets his duel with Adol. They're both holding nothing back, Credo even goes full berserker mode, and they fight until they can't even hold their Monstrum form anymore. In the end Credo, who wiped the floor with the knights all on his own earlier in the game, is too exhausted to even sit anymore and Adol? Looks completely unfazed. This turnout is of course entirely justified in that, whereas Credo's leaned on his Monstrum Gifts to fight in his shorter lifetime, Adol's been doing this for nearly twenty years without any supernatural powers to speak of. Take away the Monstrum form, and he's effectively no worse for wear.
  • Despite being a supporter of Romn, Cardinal Lindheim is a bit of a hidden badass on the side of good guys, going under cover as a prisoner as Parks just to investigate the secrecy surrounding Balduq and the arrests of citizens (that inadvertently kickstarts the end of Zola's plan through meeting Adol) Even before his stint as Romn's appointed Governer of Gllia, word has it that the guy actually volunteered to work in mines for 2 years to experience the hardships of general populace first hand.
