Woldol is a character in Shining Force Gaiden (in which he is the main villain), Shining Force Gaiden II, and Shining Force CD.

Background

Woldol is a follower of Iom who wormed his way into the position of ambassador in Cypress. He was responsible for the demise of the king of Cypress and used Edmond as a puppet ruler to achieve his plans. He also put a sleep spell over Queen Anri, killed Mayfair's father and blinded Mayfair.

Eventually, the Shining Force lead by Prince Nick takes him on and he calls on Iom's power to turn himself into a scorpion creature. Nick uses the Sword of Hajya to break through the defences created by Iom, but he is wounded in battle and the wound turns Nick's arm to stone. After being slain by the Shining Force, Woldol comes back from death by unexplained means; he says only that "After defeat and death, my soul couldn't rest", perhaps hinting that his taking the power of Iom into his body gave him a degree of immortality. He faces the Shining Force lead by Deanna at the Shrine to Iom as Death Woldol. When he is defeated, his body melts away.

Strategy

When first fought, in the penultimate battle of Shining Force Gaiden / Book 1 of Shining Force CD, Woldol need not be defeated to win the battle; defeating the Evil Monster ends the battle regardless of whether Woldol is still standing or not. However, since his attacks are fairly powerful and his HP supply is quite modest, it is best to take him out quickly. He can easily be lured away from the Evil Monster's protection, and takes only a few hits to bring down.

For strategies on battling his later, more difficult forms, see Scorpion Woldol and Death Woldol.
