Jedaffi

“This path is abundant with foes, I will not lie. It scares me.”

 Boss

## Overview

Jedaffi is the first boss you fight in Forsaken Sword Legacies 1. He offers practically nothing in terms of difficulty, but the game was made in 2014, so give it a rest. You can get to the boss by talking to Jack the Teleportation Wizard, on the left wall inside the home castle. After a few prompts, he'll teleport you to the boss.

He wears a blue helmet with green spiky-like armor that fits his skin tone as well. He wields a mediocre-sized broadsword, which he uses to attack you and conjure the occasional slash wave.

## Attacks

### **Phase 1 - 200 Health**

**Basic Swing -** Jedaffi swings his sword at the player.

**Slash Wave -** Jedaffi will backstep before winding his sword back and swinging it down vertically, conjuring a slash wave that explode upon contact.

### **Phase 2 - 50 Health**

**(Passive) Embrace the Grass -** Upon entering Phase 2, Jedaffi does more damage and gains a speed boost

**Slash Wave -** Jedaffi instead will now conjure 3 slash waves at you instead of one.

## Lore

Out of the four lieutenants of Drakus, Jedaffi bears the most depressing and tragic tale.

Born of royal Dryad blood, he inherited the title King of Grass from his father. During his father's and most of Jedaffi's rule, the Dryad race was barely anything but a wild and primitive race, consisting mostly of simple farmers, hunters, and very few warriors. Jedaffi's title of king was realistically nothing more than just that, a title.

That, however, would change during the Age of Proliferation.

Jedaffi was not a fighter by any standards, learning only to wield a sword later on after meeting **The Overlord**. But he had something few rulers had during his time: the respect, love, and admiration of his people

Jedaffi was an incredible leader, single handedly raising the Dryad race from the ground up with the establishment of The Terra Guardia, an order of powerful knights dedicated to protecting their now prospering kingdom, ordaining and overseeing the construction of a proper city for his people, and other acts. All went well, all went according to plan.

Then, came the age of Drakian Expanse

**The Overlord**, in his eternal quest for conquest and expansion, was hellbent on making every civilization that walked upon the face of the world kneel to his will. This eternal hunger for power and conquest lead the Overlord to conquer nation after nation. The wise willingly pledged allegiance to **The Overlord**, while the foolish and brave fought back and refused to bow down. But only one kingdom joined the Drakian Empire out of sheer cowardice and fear. Better yet, one man was responsible for the surrender of the Dryad race.

Jedaffi.

When the Drakian Empire came knocking on Jedaffi's door, he did not kneel in respect and awe of **The Overlord**'s might, nor did he draw his sword and lead his people against him. Instead, he fell on his hands and knees and begged **The Overlord** to spare his people if they were to join him. Jedaffi believed the people wanted to be safe and happy, he believed that by not putting up a fight he was doing the will of his people. But instead of appreciation for preventing the spilling of Dryad blood, Jedaffi was instantly despised by his people. Jedaffi was dethroned, shamed, spat on, threatened, and exiled by his own people. They had seen the true face of their king, a pathetic, lowly coward who was unwilling to make sacrifices.

As the measly fifth lieutenant of **The Overlord**, he kept calling himself the King of Grass to his peers. But the damage was done. Even **The Overlord**, Bloodrus, Surlatin, and Frostano despised and bullied him. He was weak, he fought poorly, he fought like a coward for his fear of death.

Then the hero came for **The Overlord**. At last finding an excuse to use Jedaffi, **The Overlord** sent Jedaffi to eliminate the hero, something Jedaffi mistakenly thought he could do. That mistake would cost him his life.

Now, Jedaffi's body lies buried on the outskirts of his own city, Galea, in the Galean Forest. No tombstone was built for the king. Instead of mourners, young Dryads go and mock the cowardly king, desecrating what can be barely called his grave.

A fitting end for a pathetic, foolish, and cowardly king.

That is... until his end came to an end.

*"I have seen empires rise, prosper, suffer, and fall. Great and terrible rulers come and go. Races populate our world and go extinct. I have seen the most beautiful acts of kindness and love and the most bone-chilling and horrifying atrocities committed by people. Yet never in my long lifetime could I have imaged that one man alone could have so much power and mental strength.*

***The Overlord**... **Drakus**... whilst many believed to be insane, do not comprehend the man's sheer lack of weakness and will. He held no romantical love for anyone, instead he held a love more like a proud father looking at his children and family, **Sukard**, his lieutenants... us, and his people. Other people from other kingdoms saw **Drakus** as a threat and madman, but his people... his people adored him. They respected him and praised him as a messiah. Whenever we marched into battle or war, men, women, even children came out from their abodes. 'Hail **Drakus**!' They would cry. He would wave at them and boasted about how they should prepare to celebrate the most-certain victory that was to come soon enough.*

*On the battlefield, however, it was as if he was a completely different man. He was ruthless, patient, and very strategic. **Drakus** mastered the art of war at a young age, knowing how to weaken his enemies and either make them surrender or easier to conquer/destroy. This alone made him a powerful and dangerous foe, his swordsmanship skills and magical abilities only added on to this. **Drakus** could single handedly take out several enemy phalanxes with his blade alone.*

*Even now, with the Forsaken Sword's god-killing power running through every fiber of my being, I shudder just remembering the grandiosity and fear **Drakus** could spark. **Sukard** is no weaker than him, possibly even stronger than he ever was. Be warned, hero, you will face great trials and tribulations in your journey.*

*May the **Goddess** guide and protect you." -Jedaffi*
