Saint Germain
 .

Saint Germain is yet another ally who forces one of those infamous "test battles"--this one to quell doubts about Hector's destiny. Germain, as a time-traveler, has complete control over time and its flow, a trait of which he'll take advantage during the duel. Most prevalent is his teleportation ability, which he'll use to continuously surprise Hector with sword stabs. He'll sometimes imbue his sword with a special property (a green glaze), and contact made will inflict upon Hector a poison state, which will disrupt his counterattack. Another of Germain's abilities is the time stop, with which he'll temporarily freeze Hector and attack sometimes before the forgemaster can regain movement. At any time (usually after a poisoning attempt is successful), he'll teleport high above the ground and use his magic to speed up time, which will advance the rate of poison damage and, more urgently, cause deadly vines to continuously break through the ground right where Hector stands; this will effectively keep Hector busy and distracted while Germain's teleportation attacks continue.

When Germain's energy meter has been reduced to its last bit, he'll again teleport high above and in this instance reverse the flow of time, which will replenish the yellow portion of his meter and extend the encounter. He'll continue his surprise sword attacks and time-advancing technique, certainly, but he'll now have available a new option: When he shouts, "Here we go!", he'll pull out a pistol and relentlessly open fire; since the bullets cannot be blocked, Hector will have to react quickly to stifle Germain or suffer what could possibly be a quick death.
