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 the boss, Ellefale. This guide provides strategies to overcome this formidable opponent. Maintaining distance is crucial; close-quarters combat significantly increases the frequency of successful attacks. While manageable on normal difficulty, higher difficulties demand preparation. The Ignis Bracelet proves invaluable.
Preparation:
Before engaging Ellefale, grinding to increase health above 100 is highly recommended. Consider upgrading armor using Raval Ore, but save significant upgrades for later game armor.
Combat Strategy:
Rushing into battle is ill-advised. Ellefale's initial position places her beyond the reach of basic attacks. Utilize the Ignis Bracelet's fireballs to inflict damage from a safe distance. Maintaining maximum range minimizes the risk of taking damage. While Ellefale's attack repertoire isn't extensive, each strike is powerful and depletes health rapidly.
Ellefale's Attacks:
Ellefale's attacks, while individually manageable, can restrict player movement, making positioning paramount. Her attacks include:
-
Spinning Disc: A projectile launched towards the player. Precise timing is crucial; jumping too early or too late results in damage. Ellefale raises her right arm to telegraph this attack.
-
Vertical Slash: A relatively easier attack to dodge by simply moving laterally. This is also telegraphed by Ellefale raising her right arm.
-
Lightning Strike: The most challenging attack to avoid. Ellefale leans forward as a telegraph. Immediately charge forward, then, when she raises both arms, retreat to the opposite end of the arena and jump to avoid the lightning beams. Running or jumping towards her during this attack will result in a hit.
-
Spinning Sphere: A slowly moving projectile that restricts movement. Easily outrun individually, but in conjunction with other attacks, it can trap the player. Telegraphed by Ellefale raising both wings.
By understanding Ellefale's attack patterns and utilizing the Ignis Bracelet from a distance, players can effectively manage this challenging encounter and emerge victorious. Remember, patience and precise timing are key to success.
