- This page is about the first phase of the final battle against Pardis. For the main character page, see Pardis III. For the second phase of the final battle of Master of All, see Pardis the Scholarking.
King Pardis III is an enemy in Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent. He is the first phase of the final boss battle of Master of All storyline.
If any of Edoras Defender of Wealth, Edoras Defender of Power and Edoras Defender of Fame were not separately fought and defeated as elite enemies in Edoras Castle, they will be summoned by Pardis on his first action. These Edoras Defenders have less HP than their Elite counterparts, but also have skills that can buff or protect Pardis. If Pardis is broken before his first action and he can otherwise summon Edoras Defenders (see above), he will not attempt to summon them after recovering from break. Regardless of whether or not Pardis was broken before his first action, the fight with Pardis the Scholarking will change.
