Predetermination is the name of a main quest and mini-boss fight in Chapter VII, Part I of Shadow Fight 3. It is the second mini-boss fight of the chapter, which takes place in the past, at the valley before it became a Wasteland.

Story

Itu, still not knowing the player had time-traveled twice, tells the two to stop fooling around and stop Iolanda already before she passes over the Core prototype to Shadow. Bolo finds it funny that even the brave and stubborn Iolanda admitted defeat to Shadow, as he had prepared her to become the next Sphere Keeper. Iolanda had been trained by Bolo since she was a kid, to handle shadow energy and to make her immune to the influence of Shadow Mind. But when Marcus returned, Iolanda stole the prototype from Shibata and brought it to Shadow. The player travels to the past time once again to stop Iolanda from delivering the prototype.

Fight Info

The player's appearance is changed.

Iolanda is fought as the second mini-boss of Chapter VII: Part I. The player is equipped with Saccadic Masking and Neurovisor in this fight. However, only the appearance is changed. The player's defense, unarmed damage, shadow damage, and abilities are still determined by the current armor and helm they are equipping. The fight can consist of up to five rounds, of which the player must win three in order to be declared victorious. The timer for each round is 90 seconds, and the player must defeat Iolanda before the timer ends, otherwise they will lose that round.

Destroying a battery will stop Iolanda's regeneration.

Iolanda's health bar consists of four shorter bars. Each bar is connected to one of the three shadow batteries that are installed on her back. If the player cannot deal enough damage to deplete the health bar, after 3 seconds since taking damage, Iolanda's curent health bar will regenerate to full health. By depleting all the health from one health bar, one shadow battery will be blown up, stopping that depleted health bar from being regenerated. The player must destroy all the shadow batteries and finish the last remaining health bar to take her down. Each health bar are separate from one another, meaning that any attack damage will not be carried over to the next health bar before a battery explodes. Iolanda will not take damage from blocking attacks if she is still with the first 3 health bars; however, the last healthbar is her true health, which means she can take damage from any source of damage dealing (even blocks), but she cannot regenerate health anymore.

Special Ability

• Detachment

Iolanda will use this special attack after losing one round.

Iolanda will use this special attack after losing two rounds.

After losing one round, Iolanda will start using her special ability. She can detach her limbs and control it telekinetically to extend her reach. Iolanda can either detach her arms to slash with the Kama (after Iolanda had lost one round), or throw her arms with the Kamas spinning vertically forward before pulling them back like a boomerang and launch her foot to kick the player from a distance (after having lost twice).

• Life Support

Iolanda's healthbar is separated into 4 quarters. After 3 seconds of not taking damage, Iolanda will regenerate that quarter of health if not fully depleted. Once she loses a quarter of her health, she cannot regenerate past that point. Blocked attacks deal no damage, except for the last quarter when all her shadow devices are destroyed.

Moves and Perks

A sequence of 3 attacks with Kamas.

• Synchronization

The charge period for the Critical Charge is decreased by a few seconds and its active duration is increased by a few seconds.

Shadow Abilities

• Ripper

Throws a kama along the ground towards the player's feet. If hit, the kama will hook onto their foot and telekinetically pull them upwards, dangling in mid-air. Iolanda then leaps at the player and slashes their gut with the other kama, pulling them down onto the ground.

• Blast

Slams the ground with one fist, creating an upwards close-range ring of damaging shadow energy around her.

• Deactivation

Stomps the ground, spawning a shadow electromine from the ground and spinning into the air. Iolanda punches the bottom of the mine in midair, firing a forward horizontal blast of shadow energy from the top of the mine at the player.
