Background[]
Ramladu is the king of Runefaust. Once a kind and generous ruler to his people, he was corrupted by Darksol, and became nothing more than a puppet of him, gradually losing his soul, until he gets to recover only when he is near death.
In the GBA version, he has a daughter, Narsha, who, knowing that her father was being controlled by Darksol, flees Runefaust to try to find a way to save her father. He only recognizes her when defeated.
Strategy[]
Destroy his robots before going after him. Like many bosses, he will not move to attack until you approach him, so you may eliminate his underlings at your leisure. When the robots are destroyed, strike at him from all sides with your front-liners. His Attack stat is higher than that of any other enemy in the game, including the final three bosses, so he is quite capable of taking out your more vulnerable characters with a single hit. He also casts Aura level 3 on occasion, but so long as you've already dealt with his robots this is not an issue. So long as you haven't taken too many casualties while fighting his robots, you should be able to overwhelm him with your troops. Simply keep Max out of his reach.
