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 details strategies to defeat her. Maintaining distance is crucial; close-quarters combat is highly disadvantageous. While manageable on normal difficulty, higher difficulties demand preparation. The Ignis Bracelet is key to victory.

Preparation:

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

Combat Strategy:

Rushing Ellefale is ill-advised. She's out of range of basic attacks. Utilize the Ignis Bracelet's fireballs to inflict damage from a safe distance—the far end of the arena. Each of Ellefale's attacks is powerful, so careful positioning and timing are essential.

Ellefale's Attacks:

Ellefale employs four distinct attacks, each capable of restricting player movement.

• Spinning Disc: A projectile launched towards the player. Precise timing is needed to jump over it; jumping too early or too late results in damage. Ellefale raises her right arm to telegraph this attack.

• Vertical Slash: A relatively easy attack to dodge by simply moving laterally. However, it can be combined with other attacks, requiring simultaneous dodging maneuvers. Telegraphed by Ellefale raising her right arm.

• Lightning Strike: The most challenging attack to avoid. When Ellefale leans forward, charge forward. When she raises both arms, immediately 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 the player. Telegraphed by Ellefale raising both wings.

By mastering these avoidance techniques and utilizing the Ignis Bracelet effectively from a distance, players can overcome the challenge of Ellefale, the Azure Queen of Death. Remember, patience and precise timing are paramount to success.
