Zoma is a demon of unfathomable power, whose [[Magic and Abilities|sorcery]] is so great that he was able to imprison the kingdom of [[Alefgard]] in a shroud of eternal night. Due to this, he was able to sustain himself on the despair of the people trapped within, bolstering his physical might to the point that he was able to shatter a sword made of [[Orichalcum]], albeit after a prolonged effort of three years. His incredible strength is supported by a mastery of [[Kacrackle|ice magic]] and [[C-c-cold Breath|freezing breath]], and it is said that the very air becomes chilled by his mere presence. Zoma is also the first boss in the series to make use of the infamous [[Disruptive Wave]] technique, stripping his enemies of any support spells. | Zoma is a demon of unfathomable power, whose [[Magic and Abilities|sorcery]] is so great that he was able to imprison the kingdom of [[Alefgard]] in a shroud of eternal night.

The Archfiend resides in [[Zoma's Citadel|his Citadel]] south-east of [[Tantegel]], where he gorges himself on the fear and despair of the land’s inhabitants, cloaking himself in an nigh upon impenetrable shroud of darkness that no spell can pierce.

However, Zoma is weakened by the [[Sphere of Light]] and the shroud is destroyed when the ball is used in battle. Upon being defeated by the {{Hero 3}} (as well as [[Terry]] in {{Monsters}}), Zoma mockingly congratulates [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|his vanquisher]], but warns that his death will not bring an end to the world's suffering, and that a new evil shall arise to take his place long after the {{Hero 3}} has died. He is proven correct that the [[Dragonlord|darkness yet to come]] will throw [[Alefgard]] into despair, but failed to realize that the lineage of [[hero]]es will resurface to restore light to the world once more. | ||

This proclamation sends the [[King of Aliahan|king of Aliahan]] into a deep despair, forbidding the {{Hero 3}} and company from speaking of Zoma. | ||

Remove his [[Shroud of Shadows]] immediately with the [[Sphere of Light]]; without it, Zoma is immune to nigh upon everything you can throw at him. His [[C-c-cold Breath|breath]] and [[Kacrackle|ice magic]] is more powerful, and his physical ability is also quite powerful . On top of this, he will regenerate 90~110 HP per round, minimizing any damage players can inflict between healing sessions.

On top of this, he will regenerate 90~110 {{HP}} per round, minimizing any damage players can inflict between healing sessions. This form is so powerful that it has become a challenge among {{III}}'s players to slay the fiendish overlord '''without''' the [[Ball of Light]]. | ||
Once the shield is removed, Zoma's defensive capabilities will plummet considerably: [[Sap]], [[Zap]], and all forms of fire will hit 100% of the time, and his regeneration will be nixed. [[Woosh]] spells also have a 30% chance to connect.

[[Woosh]] spells also have a 30% chance to connect. The {{Hero 3}}/[[Warrior]] should be [[Oomph]]ed at all times. If the {{Hero 3}} isn’t physically attacking, he should be casting [[Kazap]] for extra damage. This is slightly risky though, for if the battle goes south, [[Omniheal]] may be necessary, and the {{Hero 3}} needs to have enough {{MP}} to cast it. The Warrior should also have a [[Staff of resurrection]] as a Hail Mary. The [[Sage]]/[[Priest]] should continually cast [[Multiheal]], and, as extra insurance, have a [[Sage’s staff]] as backup for when they run out of {{MP}}. The [[Mage]]/[[Sage]] (although a Sage is recommended), should use the Sage’s stone when the [[Priest]]’s [[Multiheal]] isn’t enough to fully heal the {{Party 3}}, and otherwise spam [[Kafrizzle]]. Keep this strategy up, and taking a few turns to heal every now and then, and one should be able to best the hellish demon. '''NOTE: The preceding strategy''' | ||
