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 details strategies to defeat her, emphasizing the importance of distance and utilizing the Ignis Bracelet. Remember, close-quarters combat is highly disadvantageous.
Preparation is Key:
Before engaging Ellefale, grind to ensure your health exceeds 100. While upgrading armor with Raval Ore is tempting, save it for later, stronger armor.
Combat Strategy:
Unlike some bosses, rushing Ellefale is a mistake. Her attacks outrange your standard attacks. Instead, utilize the Ignis Bracelet's fireballs from a safe distance. The further you are, the better your chances of survival.
Understanding Ellefale's Attacks:
Ellefale employs four distinct attacks, each requiring specific countermeasures:
-
Spinning Disc: Telegraphed by Ellefale raising her right arm. Precise timing is crucial; jump to avoid it, but not too early or too late. This attack can inflict significant damage.
-
Vertical Slash: Telegraphed by Ellefale raising her right arm. Easily avoided by simply moving left or right.
-
Lightning Strikes: The most challenging attack. Telegraphed by Ellefale leaning forward. Immediately charge away from her, jumping to avoid the lightning bolts. Moving towards her during this attack will result in damage.
-
Spinning Sphere: Telegraphed by Ellefale raising both wings. A slow-moving projectile that restricts movement. While easily outrun individually, it can be problematic when combined with other attacks.
Mastering the Arena:
Ellefale's attacks can temporarily restrict your movement options. Careful positioning and awareness of her attack animations are critical to surviving her assault. The combination of attacks can be particularly challenging, demanding quick reflexes and precise movement.
By combining strategic distance, precise timing of your jumps and movements, and a thorough understanding of Ellefale's attack patterns, you can successfully overcome this formidable foe. Remember to utilize the Ignis Bracelet effectively and maintain a safe distance throughout the battle.
