Odur

Odur is the first boss in Thymesia. He is the boss of the Sea of Trees and the leader of the bizarre circus scattered among the treetops.
__TOC__
== Behavior ==
He is a bit of a tricky boss, as he has plenty of super armor in his combos and can jump in and out of the player's range. He's often a stumbling point for many new players.
Most of his melee attacks come in three- to five-hit combos involving his cane-sword slashes or kicks. Shortly after a combo, he becomes vulnerable and can be stun-locked in a combo of your own. Don't go overboard, as he'll deflect your next attack and retaliate with a kick in the face or a dash into a double-slice. If you keep your distance, he'll harass you by flinging cards, sometimes in three fans before unleashing a ranged Critical attack.
To counter his aggression and evasion, the simplest method is to learn to parry. Invest in Reckless Deflect Lv1 and you can easily parry most of his combos. Just keep watch of when his combos end so that you can switch from mashing the Deflect button to going on the offensive. After finishing one of your attack combos, stop the assault and wait for him to start his next attack combo.
Another method is through use of Short Dodge Lv1 to duck out of his attacks. You'll cover a little bit of ground, but it's usually enough to zip behind him and get a quick punish with either your Saber attacks or a Claw attack.
When he gets down to his second phase, he'll start with a burst of wind that keeps you from getting too close to him too early. His regular attack combo now starts with a fake-out as he fades out of your reach, only to then strike with a five-hit sword combo. This attack tracks very accurately and may be really difficult to dodge. He can also chain a double-kick into a slash before phasing a good distance away — either close the gap in any manner you see fit, or wait for the next attack combo to parry.
His new Ultimate attack is a charged cane sword thrust. It has a very long and narrow range, so dodge to the side. You're not in the clear if he misses, because his Ultimate causes an explosion around him as he sheathes his cane. Wait for the animation to finish before closing in and resuming the assault.
== Rewards ==
After depleting the second health bar and executing Odur to end the battle, the player will be rewarded with the Odur's Core, an Alchemy Enhancer, and a Forgotten Feather which lets them reset all their level ups. He will also drop a few Miasma Skill Shards and reward 2944 Memory Shards.
