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, the Azure Queen of Death. This guide will help you overcome this formidable foe. It's crucial to maintain distance; close-quarters combat significantly increases the frequency of successful attacks.
While manageable on normal difficulty, Ellefale poses a considerable threat on harder settings. However, the Ignis Bracelet is your key to victory.
Preparing for Battle
This fight requires preparation. Grind to boost your health above 100. While Raval Ore can upgrade your armor, conserve it for later upgrades.
Don't rush in. Ellefale is beyond the reach of your standard attacks. Utilize the Ignis Bracelet's fireballs to inflict damage from a safe distance. Maintaining maximum range minimizes your vulnerability. Each of Ellefale's attacks hits hard, so strategic positioning is key.
Ellefale's Attacks: A Detailed Breakdown
Ellefale's attacks, while individually manageable, can restrict your movement options, making careful positioning vital. Here's a breakdown:
-
Spinning Disc: A projectile launched towards you. Jumping is the only reliable counter, requiring precise timing to avoid damage both during the jump and upon landing. Ellefale raises her right arm to telegraph this attack.
-
Vertical Slash: A relatively easy-to-dodge attack. Simple lateral movement suffices. However, you might need to combine this with jumping to avoid other simultaneous attacks. Telegraphed by Ellefale raising her right arm.
-
Lightning Strike: The most challenging attack to evade. When she leans forward, charge forward. If she raises both arms, retreat to the opposite arena end and jump. Running or jumping towards her during this attack will result in a hit.
-
Spinning Sphere: A slowly moving sphere that restricts your movement options. Easily outrun individually, but it can trap you if combined with other attacks. Telegraphed by Ellefale raising both wings.
By understanding Ellefale's attack patterns and utilizing the Ignis Bracelet effectively, you can overcome this challenging boss fight and progress further in your Ys Memoire adventure. Remember, distance and precise timing are your greatest allies.
