Wikia

"Heretic scion who wrapped the world in dark energies, seeking to take the souls of all living things unto himself. Created in opposition to Emet-Selch, Angel of Truth, and scion of light. Originally tasked with the judging of men upon their deaths, his soul was tainted by the curses of those who raged against the heavens, and seizing one of the gods' servants, a shamaness, as a hostage, he rebelled against his creators. Even now, in defeat, he clutches the shamaness to him in his right arm, and with the aid of her death-wail does he summon the soul of darkness to do his bidding."

AppearancesEdit

Final Fantasy XIIEdit

For the battle information, see: Zalera (Final Fantasy XII)

Zalera is an optional Esper found in the Barheim Passage, his existence being foreshadowed by NPCs mentioning hearing a woman's screams from deep inside the tunnel. He fights by summoning Dead Bones to attack and using status attacks that hit dependent on the levels of the party members. If the player cannot defeat Zalera within five minutes they are teleported out of the room and must begin the battle over.

AbilitiesEdit

Condemnation

Zalera's license costs 25 LP, and he can be summoned for one Mist Charge. His normal attack is Kill, which inflicts instant death on any enemy that does not have the Safety passive ability. An enemy slain by Kill does not yield Experience Points, License Points or loot.

Zalera's ultimate attack is Condemnation, where he warps the enemy to another world, and opens his right arm to reveal the shamaness who screams, calling a storm of dark clouds from which souls pour out and create a storm of twisters. The attack instantly kills all enemies with less than 9,999 max HP (6,999 HP for those with the Reduce Damage augment), and those with more are hit with non-elemental damage that can break the damage limit.

—In-game Description

For the battle information, see: Zalera (Revenant Wings)

Zalera returns, along with some other Espers, in Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings as a Non-Elemental Ranged Rank III summon. Though his nature is Holy, he is not classified as a healing unit like Ultima, because Zalera cannot heal units, rather harnessing the power of light for devastating attacks. Chaos or Exodus must be obtained on the Ring of Pacts before Zalera's node can be reached. Zalera is fought at the Paramina Rift in Mission 74: Dance of the Dead. Defeating him earns Basch his Quickening, Apocalypse Shield.

Zalera uses:

"Holy": Deals damage to one foe, Zombies and Vampyrs are weak to it.
"Holyja": The same holy, but stronger and hits every foe in range.
