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 careful strategy and preparation. Proximity is detrimental; maintaining distance is key to survival. While manageable on normal difficulty, higher difficulties necessitate thorough preparation. The Ignis Bracelet is your most valuable tool.

Pre-Battle Preparation:

Grinding to achieve over 100 health is crucial. Consider upgrading armor with Raval Ore, but conserve it for later upgrades. Rushing into battle is ill-advised; Ellefale is initially out of melee range.

Utilizing the Ignis Bracelet:

The Ignis Bracelet's fireballs are your primary offensive tool. Maintain maximum distance from Ellefale to minimize incoming damage while maximizing your attack opportunities. While her attack repertoire isn't extensive, each hit is powerful.

Ellefale's Attacks and Countermeasures:

Ellefale employs four distinct attacks, each potentially restricting player movement and requiring precise timing and positioning:

• Spinning Disc: Telegraphed by raising her right arm. A precisely timed jump is required to avoid this devastating attack. Poor timing results in significant damage.

• Vertical Slash: A simpler attack; evade by moving horizontally (left or right). This may need to be combined with a jump to avoid simultaneous attacks. Telegraphed by raising her right arm.

• Lightning Strike: The most challenging attack. Telegraphed by leaning forward. Immediately charge away from Ellefale and jump to avoid the lightning beams. Running or jumping towards her guarantees a hit.

• Spinning Sphere: A slowly moving projectile that restricts movement. Easily outrun on its own, but it can become a significant obstacle when combined with other attacks. Telegraphed by raising both wings.

By mastering these attack patterns and utilizing the Ignis Bracelet effectively from a safe distance, you can overcome this formidable opponent. Remember, patience, precise timing, and strategic positioning are vital for victory.
