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 will significantly increase the frequency of her attacks. While manageable on normal difficulty, Ellefale poses a much greater threat on harder settings. The Ignis Bracelet will be your key to victory.
Preparation is Key:
Before engaging Ellefale, consider grinding to boost your health above 100. While upgrading armor with Raval Ore is an option, save it for later, more impactful upgrades.
Combat Strategy:
Rushing into battle is ill-advised. Ellefale is initially out of range of your standard attacks. Instead, utilize the Ignis Bracelet's fireballs to inflict damage. Maintain maximum distance to minimize the risk of taking hits. Each of Ellefale's attacks is powerful and can quickly deplete your health.
Ellefale's Attacks and Countermeasures:
Ellefale employs four distinct attacks, each capable of restricting your movement options:
-
Spinning Disc: This projectile launches towards you. Precise timing is essential; jump just as it approaches to avoid damage. Ellefale raises her right arm to telegraph this attack.
-
Vertical Slash: A relatively easy attack to avoid by simply moving left or right. This is also telegraphed by Ellefale raising her right arm.
-
Lightning Strike: This is Ellefale's most challenging attack. She leans forward to telegraph it. Immediately charge forward, and 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. While easily outrun individually, it can become problematic when combined with other attacks. Ellefale raises both wings to signal this attack.
Mastering the timing and spacing required to evade Ellefale's attacks, coupled with consistent fireball damage from your Ignis Bracelet, will secure your victory. Remember, distance is your greatest ally in this challenging encounter.
