Urd

Urd is the seventh boss in Thymesia. She is an optional boss that can be found in the Hermes Fortress, and it is the final optional boss of the game. She is a knight with a mix of fast melee attacks, complex dodges, and ranged magic attacks.
__TOC__
== Behavior ==
Due to her aggression and evasion, chasing her down can prove difficult, but parrying her attacks gets a lot of free damage. Take Reckless Deflect Lv2 for generosity with your parry window, or Precise Deflect Lv2 if you have the timing down right.
If you parry her triple thrust, she leaps back a little, but just enough for a Long Claw Lv3 to close the gap and clean out the Wounds you're inflicting. If you have Short Claw Lv2, mashing out the claw attack after deflecting will get you close enough for the triple swipe combo to nail some damage. Her two single thrusts have a very short cooldown, so you probably only have enough room to sneak in a Saber attack before needing to go on the defensive. Watch for her Critical attacks, as she'll knock you down and back with a strong thrust.
Every now and then (or if she fills her Counter Gauge) she will use her Javelin Sword skill, tossing a sword at the ground where you stand and causing other swords in the ground to detonate. The javelin sword toss can be parried. Quickly dodge out of the way of any explosions. If you catch her in a stunlock but get overzealous enough to trigger her counterattack, she will also use Javelin Sword.
When she enters her second phase, she causes an explosion around her and any javelin swords lodged in the ground. Ensure you are clear of their explosion radius before moving in to attack. You may take this opportunity to heal up. She can now chain more of her thrust attacks together, often ending a thrust combo with one of two types of Critical Attack - either two back-to-back strong thrusts or a circular swing. The best way to create an opening in this phase is to interrupt her Critical Attacks with a Feather Attack (or any Plague Weapon capable of this) since she will then be open to an assault of your own.
== Rewards ==
Defeating this boss will give the player about 9200 Memory Shards, Urd's Core, a Forgotten Feather, and Javelin Sword Skill Shards.
