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 will help you overcome this formidable foe. Maintaining distance is crucial; close-quarters combat will result in significantly more damage. While manageable on normal difficulty, higher difficulties demand preparation. The Ignis Bracelet is your key to victory.
How to Defeat Ellefale
Before engaging, prioritize grinding to boost your health above 100. While armor upgrades using Raval Ore are tempting, save them for later, superior armor. Rushing into battle is ill-advised; Ellefale is initially out of range of your standard attacks.
Utilize the Ignis Bracelet to launch fireballs from a safe distance. The closer you are, the greater your risk. Maintain a position at the far end of the arena. While Ellefale's attack repertoire isn't extensive, each attack hits hard, rapidly depleting your health.
Ellefale's Attacks: A Detailed Breakdown
Ellefale's attacks, while individually manageable, can restrict your movement options, making positioning paramount. Here's a breakdown:
-
Spinning Disc: A projectile launched towards you. Jumping is the only effective countermeasure. Precise timing is crucial; jump too early or too late, and you'll take damage. Ellefale raises her right arm to telegraph this attack.
-
Vertical Slash: A relatively easy attack to avoid; simply move left or right. However, you might need to combine this with jumping to evade other simultaneous attacks. Telegraphed by Ellefale raising her right arm.
-
Lightning Strike: The most challenging attack. When Ellefale leans forward, charge forward. When she raises both arms, retreat to the opposite end of the arena and jump. Running or jumping towards her during this attack will result in damage.
-
Spinning Sphere: A slowly moving sphere that restricts movement. Easy to outrun individually, but it can become problematic when combined with other attacks, potentially trapping you. Telegraphed by Ellefale raising both wings.
Mastering the timing and positioning required to dodge these attacks, combined with strategic use of the Ignis Bracelet, will secure your victory over Ellefale. Remember, distance is your best defense.
