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 its boss, Ellefale. This guide will help you overcome this formidable foe. Maintaining distance is crucial; close combat will result in significantly more damage. While manageable on normal difficulty, higher difficulties necessitate preparation. The Ignis Bracelet is your key to victory.

Preparation is Key

Before engaging Ellefale, substantial grinding is recommended. Aim for over 100 health. While Raval Ore can upgrade your armor, save it for later, superior armor.

Utilizing the Ignis Bracelet

Rushing into battle is ill-advised. Ellefale is initially out of range of your standard attacks. The Ignis Bracelet's fireballs are your primary weapon. Maintain maximum distance to minimize incoming damage. Although Ellefale's attacks are limited, each hits hard.

Understanding Ellefale's Attacks

Ellefale employs four distinct attacks, each capable of restricting your movement options:

Spinning Disc: This projectile requires precise timing. Jump to avoid it; jumping too early or too late will result in damage. Ellefale telegraphs this attack by raising her right arm.
Vertical Slash: A relatively easy attack to dodge by simply moving left or right. Telegraphed by her raising her right arm.
Lightning Strike: The most challenging attack to avoid. When she leans forward, charge forward. When she raises both arms, retreat to the opposite end of the arena and jump to avoid the lightning beams.
Spinning Sphere: A slowly moving sphere that restricts movement. Easily outrun on its own, but it can become problematic if combined with other attacks. Telegraphed by her raising both wings.

By mastering these strategies and utilizing the Ignis Bracelet effectively while maintaining distance, you can successfully defeat Ellefale, the Azure Queen of Death. Remember, patience and precise timing are essential.
