Crosell (クロセル, Kuroseru?) is an enemy boss from Star Ocean: Till the End of Time. The Lord of Air Dragons, he is fought at the end of Disc One inside the Urssa Lava Cave. The theme "The Divine Spirit of Language" plays during the encounter.
A stronger version of him, called Enraged Crosell, is fought in Sphere 211.
Strategy[]
Crosell is the first serious battle of the game. His one weakness is his low HP total. Despite his size, he is far from a devastating enemy. The party needs to use all their best combos in order to win.
A battle of endurance, after the first round Crosell immediately attacks again. The player should heal the party just before his first defeat or at the start of the second battle. The follow-up fight is even more difficult: he has more than double the HP and his attacks deal more than half the party's max HP. Cancel Bonus combos are hard to keep up without being stomped on, and every few seconds Crosell will fly into the air, flapping his wings to devastate the party's MP. The strategy to follow is a continuous steady attack, getting damage in wherever possible but focusing on keeping party members alive.
One possible exploit to Crosell is attacking his MP, with attacks such as Maria's Aiming Device or Nel's Flying Guillotine. MP draining bombs also make for a safe, but not as fast, substitute.
