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 the boss, Ellefale, the Azure Queen of Death. Unlike earlier encounters, maintaining distance is crucial; close-range combat will result in frequent hits. While manageable on normal difficulty, higher difficulties demand strategic preparation. The Ignis Bracelet proves invaluable in this fight.
How to Defeat Ellefale
Prioritize grinding to boost your health above 100 before engaging Ellefale. While Raval Ore can upgrade armor, conserve it for later enhancements. Avoid rushing the fight; Ellefale is initially out of basic attack range. Utilize the Ignis Bracelet's fireballs, maintaining maximum distance to minimize damage. Each of Ellefale's attacks is potent, rapidly depleting health.
Ellefale's Attacks: A Detailed Breakdown
Ellefale's attacks, while individually manageable, can restrict movement and require careful positioning. Her arsenal includes:
-
Spinning Disc: A projectile launched towards the player. Precise timing is essential; jumping too early or late results in damage. Ellefale raises her right arm to telegraph this attack.
-
Vertical Slash: A relatively easy-to-dodge attack avoided by simply moving laterally. This attack is also telegraphed by Ellefale raising her right arm. This can be combined with other attacks, requiring simultaneous dodging maneuvers.
-
Lightning Strikes: The most challenging attack to evade. Ellefale leans forward to telegraph it. Immediately charge forward, then when she raises both arms, retreat to the opposite arena edge and jump to avoid the lightning beams.
-
Spinning Sphere: A slowly moving sphere that restricts movement. Easily outrun alone, but it can become problematic when combined with other attacks. Ellefale raises both wings to signal this attack.
Mastering these attack patterns, combined with strategic fireball use and distance management, will significantly improve your chances of defeating Ellefale, the Azure Queen of Death. Remember, patience and precise timing are key to victory.
