I never realised how broadly useful res sound is - I was just reading through the spoilers (too hung over to play), and found the following.
These attacks can do a variety of things, one of which is to attempt to stun the player. However, having res sound protects against the stunning taking place from them:
Gravity breath
Plasma attacks
Water Balls
Water Bolts
Ice Bolts
Cool! I never really specificly knew that. And, on a related note, the monster-cast attack of teleport level ("gestures at you") can be avoided by having res Nexus.

Res Sound
Re: Res Sound
Da, I keep feeling the effect of this (ie, not having res sound) - I realize now this is why Gorlim keep stunning me. He is attacking with water bolt, and smacking me silly.
