Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana – How to Beat Ellefale

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 Ellefale, a boss fight demanding strategic precision and preparation. Maintaining distance is crucial; close-quarters combat will result in significantly more damage taken. This guide details her attacks and provides strategies for victory.

Preparation is Key:

Before engaging Ellefale, substantial grinding is recommended to boost your health above 100. While Raval Ore can upgrade armor, consider saving it for later upgrades.

Combat Strategy:

Unlike many encounters, rushing Ellefale is ill-advised. Her attacks outrange your standard melee attacks. The Ignis Bracelet is your primary weapon; fireballs launched from a safe distance are your best bet. Maintain maximum distance throughout the fight.

Ellefale's Attacks:

Ellefale employs a limited but devastating arsenal. Her attacks restrict player movement, making positioning paramount.

• Spinning Disc: Telegraphed by Ellefale raising her right arm, this projectile requires precise timing. A well-timed jump is necessary to avoid it; jumping too early or too late will result in damage.

• Vertical Slash: A relatively easier attack to dodge by simply moving horizontally left or right. However, coordination is needed if other attacks are active simultaneously. This attack is also telegraphed by Ellefale raising her right arm.

• Lightning Strike: The most challenging attack. Telegraphed by Ellefale leaning forward, you must immediately charge away from her. When both arms are raised, retreat to the opposite arena edge 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 sphere that restricts movement. Easily avoided individually, but it can become problematic when combined with other attacks, potentially trapping the player. This attack is telegraphed by Ellefale raising both wings.

By understanding Ellefale's attack patterns and utilizing the Ignis Bracelet effectively from a distance, you can overcome this formidable opponent. Remember, patience, precise timing, and strategic positioning are the keys to victory.
