Chaos Chimera

The Chaos Chimera is the final boss of Golden Sun: Dark Dawn and is fought below the control station of the Apollo Lens, within Apollo Sanctum.

Story
After the Apollo Lens were activated by Matthew and his friends, their way to the control station is blocked by the Chaos Hound. The Hound nearly attacks the party but it restrains itself when seeing Sveta by their side. It continues some inner struggle until Chalis and Blados (who were supposed to be distracted by Arcanus) re-appear and corrupt the hound, forcing it to fight the party alongside the two Dark Adepts. Their assault fails, being it both Adepts or the Chaos Hound defeated and they come up with one last alternative. In an attempt to finally win over the heroes no matter what the cost, they use their full power of the Dark Binding at the Hound. This causes it to go completely berserk, the Tuaparang Duo finds themselves sucked into the beast and together the three fuse into a horrible monstrosity of darkness.

As a Boss
Chaos Chimera has a lot of HP, moderate attack power, medium Mars and Mercury, high Venus and low Jupiter resistance and acts three times per turn. Its arsenal is a complete monster skill set, featuring several devastating abilities from which it can choose freely during its turns. The number of available skills increases with the progress of the battle:


 * Attack: A single standard attack.
 * Vicious Embrace: Strikes multiple targets at once with Chalis' claw. Attack power is multiplied by 1.6.
 * Retribution: A wide strife with Blados' sword hits the entire party and may inflict instant KO.
 * Shadow Clash: A semi-summon, Cruel Ruin resembling monster skill that causes a hail of darkness inflicting massive damage.
 * Djinn Blast: This monster skill fires a rainbow-coloured blast at a target and puts all Djinni in recovery mode.
 * Shadow Shield: A Dark support psynergy that engulfs the Chimera in a dark mist. Reduces damage by 50%.
 * Darksol Gasp: Unleashes a swarm of dark spirits to cause damage and Haunt status.
 * Shriek: Screams at a target, causing minor damage and aborts the target's actions.
 * Chaos Upheaval: A Summon-style monster skill. The Chimera rises high, charging up for an assault from above and comes down with catastrophic force, causing a storm of darkness and destruction.

It may also use the Items of Chalis and Blados:


 * Firecracker: An Item move that causes moderate Mars element damage to several targets.
 * Psy Grenade: An Item move that damages the PP with a range of five.
