Dark Goblin





Dark Goblin is a powerful monster found in Glencoe Forest, the first side area of the game. It's able to pelt you with Wind Cutter Lv 2 from a distance, or when far enough away, cast Evade Lv 1 to make it very difficult for you to hit with your attacks. It is better to get close and improve your defense while attacking so you're more likely to hit.

In the remake, it isn't too hard to dodge Rolling Rock Lv 1, but the physical attack will generally hit you. Due to now being Earth, Wind Cutter Lv 3 is highly effective.

Trivia

 * Dark Goblin is byte value A in the coding.
 * It has a counterpart in Goblin. In the remake, they have a far more similar moveset, with a ranged attack and a physical attack.
 * In both versions, they are straight palette swaps.
 * Due to the sprite limitations, it looks like a Native American partially.
 * It looks even more unfortunate due to carrying a knife.
 * As darkness is not an "element" in-game, it refers simply to its color. There's nothing particularly dark about it, and it could've just as easily be called a Hobgoblin, a common enemy in Dungeons & Dragons, and an upgrade to the Goblin.
 * The naming scheme is just as simple. Dark + Goblin
