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 significantly increases the frequency of her attacks. While manageable on normal difficulty, higher difficulties demand preparation. The Ignis Bracelet is your key to victory.
Preparation is Key
Before engaging Ellefale, significant grinding is necessary. Boost your health above 100. While Raval Ore can upgrade your armor, save it for later, more substantial upgrades.
Combat Strategy
Rushing in is a mistake. Ellefale is initially out of range of your standard attacks. Utilize the Ignis Bracelet's fireballs to inflict damage from a safe distance. Stay at the far end of the arena to minimize incoming attacks.
Understanding Ellefale's Attacks
Ellefale's attacks, while not numerous, are potent and require precise timing and positioning.
-
Spinning Disc: A projectile launched towards the player. Precise timing is essential; jump too early or too late, and you'll be hit. Ellefale raises her right arm to telegraph this attack.
-
Vertical Slash: A relatively easy-to-avoid attack; simply move left or right. This attack is also telegraphed by Ellefale raising her right arm. Be aware that multiple attacks can occur simultaneously, requiring combined dodging maneuvers.
-
Lightning Strike: The most challenging attack. Ellefale leans forward to telegraph it. Immediately charge forward, then when she raises both arms, run and jump away to the opposite end of the arena to avoid the lightning beams.
-
Spinning Sphere: A slowly moving sphere that restricts movement. While easily outrun individually, it can trap you if combined with other attacks. Ellefale raises both wings to telegraph this attack.
By mastering these strategies and understanding Ellefale's attack patterns, you will significantly increase your chances of defeating this challenging boss. Remember, distance, precise timing, and the Ignis Bracelet are your greatest allies in this fight.
