• He uses these spells so frequently that it can get a bit annoying, but it also makes him predictable.
• Just focus on avoiding his spells and hitting him when you have an opening. There isn't a super complex strategy needed for this fight. Keep moving and don't let him corner you.

Note: The following section details the boss fight against Origin, which appears after this encounter.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Name: Origin
• Location: Torent Forest
• HP: 40,000
• TP: 800
• ATK: 1,450
• DEF: 350
• XP: 10,240
• Gald: 9,870
• Items dropped: Reflect Ring
• Steal: None
• Elemental Info: Weak to None, Strong against None, Absorbs None.

Strategy:

• For Origin, it's best to have a party consisting of Lloyd, Sheena, Genis, and Raine.
• Origin's most devastating attack is Rameesh, which hits your entire party for massive damage. Be prepared to heal!
• Your best bet is to spam Unison Attacks whenever possible. If Raine casts Ray and Genis casts Indignation simultaneously, you'll trigger the Prism Stars EX Attack, which can deal over 20,000 damage. This is crucial for taking Origin down quickly.
• Origin has a decent selection of spells, so be mindful of his casting. While he might not be as physically imposing as Kratos or Yggdrasill, he can still be a significant challenge if you're not prepared.
