Lore

Lore Excerpt:

We've found yet another village.
As if they knew we were coming, the villagers start gathering around, haphazardly armed. They thought they could fight us with such shabby farming implements. Hah! I decided that all of us aren't needed for something like this. I can take care of them on my own.

I rush into their midst, tearing and destroying everything within my reach. Confused by my sudden move, they call for their leader. I quickly run at him, killing him in an instant. His blood splashes all over me, dripping down. To these villagers, I am the incarnation of a bloodthirsty ghost.

Having witnessed the horrific death of their leader, everyone else succumbs to their fear and stops fighting. The slaughter that follows is easy. One by one, I put them out of their misery. Agonizing screams fill the air, and blood soaks the ground.

While I enjoy the sight of my gruesome work, my men round up the remaining villagers and force them to kneel before me. The fear, anxiety, and resignation are clear in their eyes. Looking at them, I feel the rush of sadistic thrill.

I can't take this anymore. I want to taste it right now!
Come on, look at me.
You all will want me, and give me your everything—soul, blood, everything! It's mine!

Pandemonium War Lore:

I'm still in pain. My hands feel as if they're on fire.

"Uh-oh. This is bad—real bad! I told you not to let your guard down, didn't I? Keh heh heh."

Shut up, crazy geezer, or I'm going to break your neck!

"Your Abyss is losing its power. It's a miracle that it's lasted this long."

So, do something about it! Urgggh...

"You're in so much pain that you can't even speak. Keh heh, alright. Your eyes tell me all I need to know."

Ugh... I'm losing... strength... I'm...

"No, you can't die just yet. I'll give you something good. It'll save you. You may not be as strong as before, though."

I don't care. Just give it... to me...

"Well, doesn't matter, does it? Here, take these gauntlets. They're one of my masterpieces. Keh heh heh!"

History

Kephadona accompanies Silent Sergei and Royal Messenger Walkman to attend the Second Pandemonium Meeting along with the representatives of their organizations, though remains silent. When Walkman was prepared to kill the exhausted representatives, he heads towards the Stadium to battle the still-standing Adventurer with Kephadona following him. With both Walkman and Sergei defeated, Kephadona somehow managed to escape towards East Harlem despite being critically wounded according to Niu.

Prior to Pandemonium War's events, Kephadona was left in a weakened state with her hands badly damaged and diminishing Abyss powers after the Stadium raid, until Gizel Logan arrived to offer his assistance by giving her mechanical gauntlets as replacements. She participates in the war appearing at Reverse Street by confronting the Adventurer and their group to stop them from reaching Sarpoza, but eventually falls in battle.

Strategy

• Compared to her previous encounter in the Stadium, Kehpadona's attack patterns aren't particularly fatal, and she lacks a berserk. However she also doesn't have a groggy state similar to Bachira.
• Kephadona isn't all that difficult to dispatch of without relying on Crusader/Enchantress to deploy their  Apocalypse/ Crux of Victoria/ Marionette depending on the strength of your party. Some may use it during Hard Mode due to her increased health.

Trivia

  • Kepha - Aramaic for Stone
  • Dona - from the Italian title Donna meaning Lady.
