The Egg
The Egg is the main antagonist in SaGa Frontier 2, appearing mostly in Wil Knights' portion of the story, but is also present (to a lesser extent) in Gustave's scenarios.
Origin
The Egg is a strange Quell, once locked deep within the Desert Megalith, in a special casket. Wil Knights' father and the 3 Sergein Brothers ventured into the Desert Megalith and discovered the Egg. After lots of confrontation due to influence of the Egg, Alexei Sergein was the only person left alive, running off with the Egg.
After Wil confronted Alexei at the Quarrysite ("Showdown! Alexei (1239)") the Egg was temporarily lost, eventually falling into the hands of pirates ("Wil vs. Egg (1257)"). Wil once again managed to thwart the Egg, and sink it along with the pirates' ship.
Twenty years pass without the Egg reappearing until "Life Tree Island (1277)", when Wil's son Rich feels a strange aura while in Westia. He pursues the mysterious keeper of the Egg, a young girl called Misty, who lures Rich to his demise in the Insect Megalith ("Deadly Battle with the Egg (1291)").
Having followed in her father, and grandfather's, footsteps Ginny Knights continues the quest to destroy the Egg after hearing of its link to her father's death ("Pursuing the Egg (1305)"). The Egg has also now fallen into the hands of Fake Gustave who is using it to try to claim succession to the throne of Finney, in the wake of Gustave's death.
After routing Fake Gustave at the "Battle of South Moundtop (1305)" the final confrontation between the Knights family and the Egg takes place during "The Last Megalith (1306)" scenario, led by Wil's granddaughter Ginny Knights...
Fighting the Egg
The Egg initially has 3 basic forms and a final form, but can also call on between 2-6 additional forms, depending on how many of the Edelritter Lords the player defeated in the Last Megalith before reaching the Egg.
| Form | HP | LP | WP / SP | Immune to |
| Basic 1 | 23,000 | 100 | 90 / 90 | -- |
| Basic 2 | 11,651 | 100 | 120 / 120 | -- |
| Basic 3 | 16,133 | 100 | 100 / 110 | -- |
| Water Form | 26,467 | 100 | 120 / 130 | -- |
| Beast Form | 18,142 | 100 | 120 / 80 | Cold |
| Tone Form | 21,612 | 100 | 110 / 100 | Tone |
| Stone Form | 17,444 | 100 | 96 / 100 | -- |
| Tree Form | 18,312 | 100 | 92 / 99 | -- |
| Flame Form | 29,192 | 100 | 120 / 110 | Heat |
| Final Form | 30,000+ | 100 | ?? / ?? | -- |
The Egg randomly changes form every 5 turns. If you reduce the HP of a form to 0 it counts as defeated and the Egg can no longer morph into that shape. Unless defeated a form will recover 16% HP and 4% LP, WP & SP per morphing cycle.
General Strategy
- Defeat the Water Lord & Flame Lord in Party battle as well as the Tree Lord & Stone Lord in Duel battles. This will reduce the Egg's difficulty as well as some of its more devestating attacks.
- Use any items to recover and heal up before facing the Egg, you won't be needing them afterwards!
- All characters should, ideally, have the following spells equipped: Life Water, Recovery Breath, Regenerate, Guard Beast, Stone Armor and Reviva.
- The Egg uses "Star Quake" in all forms, which has a 100% LP break effect. However, equipping characters with the "Dead Stone" or "Last Leaf" accessories will cancel this out.
- As the battle can be drawn out do not attempt to attack the Egg straight away. Spend a few turns strengthening your party:
- 1: Have LP-break protected characters cast Regenerate on themselves, others self-cast Guard Beast
- 2: Switch Regenerate/Guard Beast casting so that everyone has both spells cast on them
- (2b: Alternatively, if you have the Soul Hymn spell, then cast it once in place of Regenerate)
- 3: Cast Stone Armor on everyone
- 4: Cast Reviva on everyone
- 5: Cast Life Water if necessary, otherwise defend as the Egg will morph forms next round
- If you are unable to defeat one of the Egg's forms in the 5 turns on offer then use it heal or strengthen the party for when the Egg morphs again.
- Use equipment that weakens, deflects or nulls the attacks of the Egg's forms (particularly status ailments).
- The Final Form uses an attack that causes percentage (%) damage. The Life Water spell is usually insufficient for recovering HP. Use a character's LP to restore HP, especially as LP breaking attacks are a lot rarer during the final form.
Trivia
The ??? Anima is an element unlike any of the others on the planet and consists of numerous colors, much like the same colors the Egg emits during its transformations. Comet Fall and Megabolt could be considered "Star" Anima due to their tremendous power and otherwordly properties. The Kris Knife, Eternity Staff and Stardust are all likely items with traces of the Egg's Anima inside them when it fell to Earth long ago.
