Cardinal Sin: Difference between revisions

'''Cardinal Sin''' (formerly '''Antoria''') is a boss that the player faces in [[Alltrades Abbey (Dragon Quest VII)|Alltrades Abbey]] in the game ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''.

With the monsters finally taken over Alltrades Abbey, Cardinal Sin comes up with an ingenious scheme. Knowing that travelers would come to the Abbey to change vocations, Cardinal Sin decides to steal their skills. How it works is simple: The traveler comes to Alltrades Abbey to change vocations. The monsters, disguised as priests, pushes vocational change onto the unknowing traveler, telling them about the advantages of changing their vocation. When the traveler is sold on the idea of changing vocations, they go to the High Priest, who is actually Cardinal Sin in disguise. Cardinal Sin asks the unsuspecting traveler what vocation they wish to become. When the traveler makes their choice, Cardinal Sin first asks the traveler to bathe in the pool behind him. When the traveler bathes in the pool, Cardinal Sin reveals his ruse. Bathing in the pool seals the travelers' abilities. With the traveler powerless, he is sent to [[Pilgrim's Perdition]], a town filled with the tricked travelers. It is cut off from Alltrades Abbey by mountains and connected by a long cave.

Jacqueline will be a help becoming another target for Cardinal Sin's attack. She can also cast [[Crackle]] and attack for 30 damage. [[Hero (Dragon Quest VII)|The hero]] should cast [[Buff]] on everyone, especially Maribel. Then he should attack, stopping only to cast [[Midheal]] on anyone that needs it. Ruff should attack. Avoid using Howl as he will dodge it. Instead, focus on physical attacks. Maribel should be given the Salvation Stone and become the designated healer. She should cast [[Sap]] on Cardinal Sin twice though it should be noted that he does have some resistance to Sap. The party, before this fight, can find three [[Yggdrasil Leaf|Yggdrasil leaves]]. One should be given to a party member so that in the event that one should die in this fight, they will be immediately resurrected. It is also possible to put Cardinal Sin to sleep to prevent him from attacking, either by using Maribel's [[Snooze]] or using a [[Snooze stick]] as a tool in battle if it was purchased from Pilgrim's Perdition or received from the Lucky Panel. However, it is only recommended to do this early in the fight as his Magic Barrier will increase his spell resistance.

Expect a long fight. Make sure that the party's health is above 70 HP and Cardinal Sin will eventually be defeated.
