Poseidoness/Companion

Poseidoness is an boss in part 2 of Paradox. She fights the party due to a misunderstanding.

Recruitment
Defeat her in battle, then return with Kraken in the party to recruit her.

Biography
One of the Guardians of the Directions, she resides in her Northern Undersea Temple. When Luka and the party reach for, she mistakes their intent as either to take the silver orb or mocking with her a story about a talking squid, and fights the party. Afterwards, she admits that she cannot help Kraken out of her sealed form, but gives the silver orb to the party as she has a feeling the party needs it more than her.
