Navigating the dungeons of Metaphor: ReFantazio often involves confronting formidable enemies that serve as mini-bosses before reaching the final boss. These challenging foes appear as red markers on the overworld Fairy Sight, necessitating a strategic approach using Squad combat, regardless of how much you've grinded for XP.

One such daunting adversary is the Faithwight Magileto, found within the Spire Of Blind Faith. This enemy presents a significant challenge at this stage of the game, demanding a well-crafted strategy and a bit of luck to overcome.

Faithwight Magileto Weakness & Skills In Metaphor: ReFantazio

The Faithwight Magileto is a level 50 enemy capable of summoning additional level 50 foes, making it advisable to engage them only if you're at least level 45.

This enemy wields powerful dark and light magic, capable of targeting individual characters or the entire party. Its arsenal includes Megidolaon, a devastating spell that hits all party members with high damage. Additionally, Faithwight Magiletos benefit from passive buffs that amplify their dark, light, and electric damage. They can also use Soul Scream to gain four Press Turn icons in a single turn and summon level 50 skeletons to bolster their forces in combat.

These summoned minions possess potent slashing attacks and dark magic, along with a strong buff and one of the game's most effective healing spells, which they can use to fully restore the Faithwight Magileto's health. These minions are also weak to Strike, making it crucial to focus your strategy on exploiting this vulnerability.

How To Beat Faithwight Magileto In Metaphor: ReFantazio

Conquering the Faithwight Magileto is a formidable challenge, even at level 50, and nearly impossible at lower levels. To enhance your chances of success, consider the following preparatory steps:

• Acquire Dark Dodge from the Magic Knight.
• Obtain Light Dodge from the Healer Archetype.
• Inherit Strike skills from the Brawler Archetype.
• Utilize the Warlock Archetype, which resists both Dark and Light damage.
• Employ the Thief Archetype, which resists Dark damage.
• Carry Tetrabreak to counter any Tetrakarn used by summoned enemies.

The specific Archetypes you choose are less important than ensuring you meet as many of the above criteria as possible, avoiding weaknesses to Dark, Light, or Slash. If you have access to multiple Archetypes and can leverage Skill Inheritance, prioritize those with high Strength. Ensure at least two party members have party-wide healing spells, and equip all members with Strike Attacks to maximize Press Turn Icons and maintain healing to offset the health loss from these skills.

Success in this battle hinges on a degree of luck, particularly in surviving consecutive Megidolaons. Equipping most party members with Dark and Light dodge increases the chances of these dodges activating, potentially shortening the enemy's turn. If the Faithwight Magileto summons allies, prioritize eliminating them quickly to prevent their healing magic from taking effect. Bringing the Dekaja skill to dispel buffs from summoned enemies can be beneficial, but your primary focus each turn should be to execute at least six Strike attacks and deploy two party-wide healing spells.
