Anyone having played PSIV is probably familiar with the "instant deathables", techniques or magics (sometimes imbued on a weapon like the Genocyber Claw and the Elsydeon) that instantly kill an enemy if succesfully used. As far as I know, PSII doesn't have these. Sure, Hugh has Vol/Savol, but those techniques still deal damage, albeit enough to kill any regular enemy (I think).
So I was just walking around Noah, grinding levels with Rolf, Rudo, Shir and Hugh and encountered a Desrona, one of those glowing sword thingies. It's not the toughest form. Not much of a problem. Last round into the fight it suddenly used a special attack...and Rudo, full health level 28, was dead. No damage was dealth, apparently this special attack can kill outright.
Does anyone have more example of this? I'm quite miffed as this is the second time in one day that I have to leave Esper Mansion to do stuff. First I got poisoned and realized I have no one with "Anti" in my party. And not antidotes. And those are only sold on Motavia >< So I had to fly home, then fight my way to Skure to Aukba (I think) and back through the crevice. Now I could teleport back to town as Lutz doesn't resurrect people, ARGH! He could save Rolf from a spaceship crash without physically being there, he can transport your party to Noah, he can send the rest to confront the Earthmen, he can heal my entire party, but he can't cure them of poison or resurrect them? ARGH! What's up with that! Oh well, back through the crevice again *sigh*.
PS: waiting for another entertaining dialogue from Snorb
