| |
| '''Kurt Zisa''' is an [[Emblem Heartless]] that is found in the international and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix|Final Mix]]'' versions of ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. It is one of the bosses in [[Agrabah]].
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Story==
| | First appearing exclusively to Americans and Europeans, the giant Kurt Zisa is the second-strongest enemy in the game, beating the [[Clock Tower]] [[Phantom]] and beaten by [[Sephiroth]]. It was released onto [[Agrabah]] after the keyhole at [[Hollow Bastion]] was revealed. |
| ===''Kingdom Hearts''===
| |
| Kurt Zisa emerges from the [[Final Keyhole]] after it is opened by the [[Princesses of Heart]], and it goes straight to Agrabah. The [[Carpet]] soon encounters Kurt Zisa in the desert, and it flies back to [[Aladdin]]'s House, where [[Sora]] and his friends find it. It leads them back to the desert, where Kurt Zisa attacks them. However, after an intense battle, Kurt Zisa is defeated by Sora and his friends, leaving behind a piece of [[Ansem's Report]]. | |
|
| |
|
| ==Design==
| | Kurt Ziza is an optional boss. The way to fight it is to go to [[Aladdin]]'s house and choose to ride [[Carpet]] to the desert. Mid-way there, Kurt Ziza will attack. There is no escaping the battle. |
| A six-armed beast, Kurt Zisa also boasts a brown and black segmented body and a golden head that bears a strong resemblance to the cobra head on [[Jafar]]'s staff. It wears a white sleeve trimmed in gold on each arm, a white tunic with puffy gold sleeves over its oddly-shaped upper torso, and white, gold-and-turquoise trimmed pants on its lower body; around its waist is a brightly colored sash in turquoise, decorated with bright orange tassels and a gold apron bearing the Heartless Emblem. Its feet appear to be clad in gold and brown shoes at first glance, but the toes are curled into fierce hooks that point down towards the ground. Each arm ends in three sharp segmented talons.
| |
|
| |
|
| Despite its fearsome appearance, Kurt Zisa deals most of its damage with its ''{{W|khopesh}}es'', two large sharp silver crescents that end in gold-trimmed holes on one end and lethal hooks on the other. The spinning blade attack is identical to the attack of [[Luna Bandit]]s.
| | Kurt Zisa, unlike its counterpart the Phantom, yields no prize for defeating it. Instead, it gives more Experience Points than any other enemy (10,000 points, at that). It is a giant cross between a snake and a [[Bandit]] (though it is closer to the [[Luna Bandit]], the Luna Bandit didn't exist when ''Kingdom Hearts'' came out), and uses psychic abilities in its sand-filled coliseum. |
|
| |
|
| Kurt Zisa is named after Kurt Zisa of Medford, New York, who won Square's "''KINGDOM HEARTS: Name-In-Game''" contest, which was held two months prior to the North American release of ''Kingdom Hearts''. | | == Forms of battle == |
| | Kurt Ziza fights in three forms. It fights differently in all of them. |
| | ===Stage 1=== |
| | In stage 1, Kurt Ziza wields two glowing spheres in each of its top hands. Magic is unable to the group, even [[Sora]]. Kurt Ziza uses nothing but physical attacks in this form. The spheres in his hands must be destroyed. Once destroyed, magic will be availible to the party again and battle will fall into stage 2. |
|
| |
|
| ==Strategy== | | ===Stage 2=== |
| Kurt Zisa alternates between two forms during the battle. It starts in the {{nihongo|'''Silence Form'''|サイレス形態|Sairesu Keitai}}. At the start of the Silence Form, Kurt Zisa will use Silence to seal the party's magic and summons. Kurt Zisa wields two glowing orbs in its hands, which need to be attacked. Once the orbs are destroyed, Kurt Zisa will be momentarily stunned by falling over and sitting down, leaving its head and an unveiled diamond within its jaws vulnerable to attacks. In this state, Kurt Zisa can only use its Bite attack. | | Kurt Ziza will fall into a sitting position and his head will coil out like a snake. Kurt Ziza is vulnereable now and Sora can harm his bars (5) now. His only attack is weak bite attack. After a while, Kurt Ziza will turn into stage 3. |
|
| |
|
| After a little while Kurt Zisa will enter its {{nihongo|'''Reflect Barrier Form'''|リフレクトバリア形態|Rifurekuto Baria Keitai}}. At the start of this form, Kurt Zisa summons a barrier around itself which blocks all physical attacks. The only way to harm it is by casting magic or deflecting projectiles back at it. Attacking the barrier with physical attacks makes it drop MP prizes. Once the shield is destroyed, Kurt Zisa will once again become stunned. After a while, it will go back to its Silence Form.
| | ===Stage 3=== |
| | In stage 3, Kurt Ziza is enveloped in a circular force field. He is floating around the sand arena. He will shoot thunderbolts at the party and make firebalss rise from the ground. Sora can only damage the shield through magic. Summon spells work well against the shield. When the shield is destroyed, Kurt Ziza will go into stage 2 again. After a while, stage 1 will commence again. The battle continues like this until Kurt Ziza is defeated. |
|
| |
|
| Since Kurt Zisa is a rather difficult boss to defeat, it is efficient to Summon [[Tinker Bell]] right before magic is unusable as she can keep the party healed and revive Sora once if all his HP is drained. Another option is to cast Aero magic before Silence is cast so damage from Kurt Zisa's attacks is reduced while magic is sealed. Also, Aerora and Aeroga allow Sora to inflict more damage on Kurt Zisa when in range of its hands or head.

|
| |
|
| Another strategy to get past its shield mode quickly is to summon [[Mushu]] or [[Dumbo]] and use [[Fire]], [[Showtime]], or [[Splash]] to break through the magic shield. Alternatively, Sora can summon [[Bambi]] and hit Kurt Zisa with offensive spells while Bambi drops magic orbs.
