Conquering Ellefale, the Azure Queen of Death in Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana
Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana presents a significant challenge with its boss, Ellefale. This guide provides strategies to defeat her. Maintaining distance is crucial; close-range combat is highly disadvantageous.
Preparation:
Before engaging Ellefale, substantial grinding is recommended to boost your health above 100. While Raval Ore can upgrade armor, saving it for later upgrades is advisable.
Combat Strategy:
Direct attacks are ineffective against Ellefale's range. Utilize the Ignis Bracelet to launch fireballs from a safe distance. Remain at the far edge of the arena to minimize damage.
Ellefale's Attacks:
Ellefale employs four distinct attacks, each requiring specific countermeasures:
-
Spinning Disc: Telegraphed by Ellefale raising her right arm. Precise timing is essential to jump over the projectile; jumping too early or late will result in damage.
-
Vertical Slash: Telegraphed by Ellefale raising her right arm. Easily avoided by simply moving horizontally to either side.
-
Lightning Strike: Telegraphed by Ellefale leaning forward. Immediately charge away from her. When she raises both arms, retreat to the opposite arena end and jump to avoid the lightning beams.
-
Spinning Sphere: Telegraphed by Ellefale raising both wings. This slowly moving sphere restricts movement; outrun it, but be mindful of its potential to trap you in conjunction with other attacks.
Mastering the Fight:
Ellefale's attacks often overlap, demanding quick reflexes and precise movement. Mastering the timing of your jumps and dodges, while maintaining a safe distance for your fireball attacks, is key to victory. Remember, patience and careful observation of her attack telegraphs are your greatest weapons.
