Bera
来自 Onimusha Wiki
Bera are Genma plants that appear in Onimusha 3: Demon Siege. These plants are grown to act as physical barriers to important areas, slashing at those that attempt to pass by. They are usually found in alcoves of wooded areas, though have also been seen elsewhere such as the underground section of Notre Dame and within the Dark Realm.
Appearance
Bera are each comprised of a single thin blue stalk rooted to the ground with a curved brown appendage on top. It normally stands at around 4-5ft tall, though can measure as high as around 8ft when the upper appendage is fully extended. The tip of the appendage is surprisingly sharp, capable of cutting through enemies when swung.
Behavior
The life cycle of a Bera is not known, but it is likely that they are planted by the Genma themselves much like any other plant and may potentially grow to full size within a few hours. Bera are always planted in bulk, only ever seen in groups, and are surprisingly durable despite their thin and seemingly fragile appearance. Once fully grown, Bera remain stationery and act as physical barriers wherever they are planted, preventing any foes from passing by. They will slash at anything that wanders too close with their sharp appendage, further attempting to dissuade potential threats. Their durability allows them to resist attacks from non-magical sources such as Samanosuke's Normal Sword, with weaker magical weapons such as the Oni Whip also being insufficient to damage them, though this may be due to it not being bladed. However, Oni weapons such as Enja and Tenso will instantly kill them in a single hit, allowing the user to safely pass by.
Trivia
- Despite being the strongest weapon that Jacques Blanc can wield, the Ultimate Whip is incapable of damaging the Bera.
- It is possible that this was chosen to prevent "sequence breaking" during Ultimate Mode, as it would allow the player to find the Big Key and reach Enryaku Temple without acquiring Enja.
- The Bera is one of ten non-boss Genma that can be defeated in Critical Mode without an Issen, the other nine being Babian, Battobone, Battochaika, Bhaza, Dark Spider, Gajimaro, Gera, Grizmoh and Zombie Warrior (Archer).
- For the Battobone, Bhaza, Dark Spider and Grizmoh, this only applies if they are carrying an Oni Firefly. Those that are not require an Issen to defeat in Critical Mode.
