Elsydeon


PHANTASY STAR 4
Chaz Ashley acquires Elsydeon

Elsydeon’s story dated back eons ago. At that time, the Great Light and the Profound Darkness fought for supremacy of the universe. The Great Light emerged victorious, and sealed the Profound Darkness in another dimension.

However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the seal would weaken every thousand years. Each time, the Profound Darkness used its dark powers to influence key events that would lead to the seal’s destruction. As such, the Great Light charged three races from the Algo Solar System with safeguarding the seal. They were the Motavians (Motavia), Parmians (Parma) and Dezolians (Dezolis).

Lutz, a Parmian, settled down in Dezolis. There, he set up the Esper Mansion, where he studied magic extensively. His knowledge led him to create Elsydeon, a weapon capable of defeating the Profound Darkness.

A two-handed sword, Elsydeon is said to be the most powerful weapon in the universe. It was forged from Laconia, a holy metal found exclusively on Dezolis. Consequently, the sword dealt light damage, making it effective against enemies corrupted by darkness. It could also cut through almost anything.

More importantly, Elsydeon was a legacy of heroes who sacrificed their lives to fight against the Profound Darkness. It was a shining beacon in which their spirits reside. Meanwhile, the sword was kept safe in a cavern underneath the Esper Mansion; it was held by a statue of Alis Landale, one of the most famous heroes. For years it waited for the chosen one — until AW 2284, when Chaz Ashley appeared.
 
Profound Darkness

Rune Walsh, Lutz’s spiritual descendent, acknowledged Chaz’s abilities. As such, he led Chaz to Elsydeon’s resting place, with the blessings of the heroic spirits. There, Chaz claimed the sword as his own. Together with his friends, he sought to destroy the Profound Darkness once and for all.

Elsydeon and Chaz make a perfect match. He was an accomplished swordsman with a light affinity. The sword also enabled him to learn Megid — a technique that can insta-kill an enemy.

the heroes part ways in the end

In the end, Chaz’s party were able to defeat the Profound Darkness after surviving many challenges, thus saving the universe. However, its death also triggered a dimensional collapse. Consequently, Elsydeon used all its powers to protect the heroes, and was shattered in the process. With memories of the sword in their hearts, the heroes went on to live their lives to the fullest.
