Crystar: How To Defeat Epicurus
Crystar had a bit of a lull in difficulty with the Nanana boss fight. She was slippery and annoying, but not much of a threat. Nanana is back with a vengeance, however, and this time, she brought the insatiate rage of a rejected anime side character. Enter, Epicurus - not to be mistaken for Epicurean.

Epicurus is Nanana’s Aberrant Transformation, and as jargony as that may seem, just means her ‘Final Form’. Epicurus is a scythe-wielding bringer of death, and more or less functions as Nanana’s Guardian - only it’s always active. If you were a bit disappointed with Nanana’s first showing, then this one might satisfy that itch…probably not though.
Epicurus had the potential to be somewhat of a threat. It has three forms of attack, and all three are moderately dangerous if you get hit by them enough. Unfortunately, Epicurus acts a lot like Nanana, and this fight ends up being a bit underwhelming.
Epicurus can either throw projectiles out in a cone, launch pencils in every direction or lob an egg-shaped bomb. The downside? Epicurus will do none of these attacks if you are close to it. Instead, it will opt to slowly float away in an attempt to get into a range where its AI will allow it to throw projectiles.
Epicurus may look like this scythe-wielding bag of awesome, but mechanically, it doesn’t do anything. Heck, it doesn’t even use its scythe.
