While Olga is that violent orange shade you will temporarily become Flowen. It is highly similar to Dark Falz's soul stealing technique, yet it can be gotten around. Also... Olga seems to be a fair bit stronger at the time you are Flowen.

Here's how it works... Olga's Attribute (Native, A. Beast, Machine, and Dark) is completely random in his second form. One of these attributes is chosen at the beginning of the form, but is still displayed in question marks. [Olga also gets a weakness to either Foie, Barta, Zonde, or Grants techniques. So you will need Grants if you are a FO.]

When you are Flowen you WILL take the damage you deal to Olga UNLESS you are using a weapon that has percentages within the same attribute that Olga has randomly chosen. [If you are using techniques, you must also use the same type of technique that Olga is currently weak too or you will take recoil damage. He gains a big resistance to the other 3 types though, so the recoil isn't huge, but neither is the damage you do. ST just gave the resistance boosts so a Fonewearl wouldn't kill herself one hit if she used the wrong technique.]

So if Olga chose A.Beast and the weapon you are using has 5% or more in A. Beast, you will not take damage, but if it has 0% in A. Beast, you WILL take the damage. So in the higher difficulties be sure to bring a collection of weapons that altogether have at least 5% in all 4 attribute categories if you want to make Olga's second form easier. [Make sure that you also have strong levels of the Simple techniques and Grants and also of Gizonde, Gifoie and Rabarta if you are a FO. The Simples and Grants are for hurting Olga himself, and the other techs are to hit both Olga and the Gael & Giel (the huge Claws on steroids around Olga's feet, they can't be killed, but stunning them makes some of Olga's attacks weaker).]

I hope that makes sense because it's the only way I could think to explain it.
