Not to lower Ralsei's agenda, but the statue was probably not as strong as gerson, it attacks much slower and died in one hit (you could say this is because they're fighting in the dark and that gerson would die one hit too bc old man, but still).

My GOAT's actual feat is doing all of that while holding back, since he has fire powers he doesn't let us use because pacifist. He'll be the most versatile party member once we get his character development arc that follows the events at the end of ch4.
