Early Game Boss causes a massive earthquake via screaming and running as a counter attack: https://youtu.be/dFeDbdeqjOs?list=PL_sYhAj0WXROBlFPHkRJ2-AgOq8ndsPJK&t=627

According to the official richter magnitude scale: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richter_magnitude_scale

This would fall under a magnitude IV or 4.0: “Noticeable shaking of indoor objects and rattling noises. Felt by most people in the affected area. Slightly felt outside. Generally causes zero to minimal damage. Moderate to significant damage very unlikely. Some objects may fall off shelves or be knocked over.”

We know it wasn’t felt by everyone because no one makes mention of massive earthquakes/vibrations later on in guardia castle or the fiendlord bridge.

A cathedral, which they’re in is considered in height to be 13 feet from floor to ceiling: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1999-sep-04-hm-6711-story.html#:~:text=Titus%20considers%20vaulted%20and%20cathedral,in%20proportion%20to%20the%20room.

Which is about 3.9624 meters.

formula is (Richter Magnitude) + 0.0238*r = Richter Magnitude of Earthquake

4.0 + 0.0238*(1.9812m) = 4.04715256 Magnitude

So: 10^(1.5*(4.04715256)+4.8) = 74,255,536,459.79426067 Joules or 17.747499153870521127 Tons of TNT, aka City Block level
