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 overcome this formidable foe. Maintaining distance is crucial; close-quarters combat will result in frequent hits. While manageable on normal difficulty, higher difficulties demand preparation. The Ignis Bracelet is key to victory.

Preparation:

Significant grinding is necessary. Boost your health above 100. Raval Ore can upgrade armor, but save it for later, superior armor.

Strategy:

Avoid rushing in. Ellefale is initially out of basic attack range. Utilize the Ignis Bracelet's fireballs to inflict damage from a safe distance – the far end of the arena. While Ellefale's moveset isn't extensive, each attack is powerful and depletes health rapidly.

Ellefale's Attacks:

Ellefale's attacks restrict player movement, emphasizing strategic positioning.

• Spinning Disc: A projectile launched towards the player. Jumping is the only counter; precise timing is crucial to avoid damage both during ascent and descent. Telegraphed by Ellefale raising her right arm.

• Vertical Slash: A relatively easy-to-avoid attack countered by simple lateral movement. However, it can be combined with other attacks, requiring combined dodging maneuvers. Telegraphed by Ellefale raising her right arm.

• Lightning Strike: The most challenging attack. Telegraphed by Ellefale leaning forward. Immediately charge away from her, jumping while retreating to avoid the lightning beams.

• Spinning Sphere: A slowly moving sphere that restricts movement. Easily outrun on its own, but can be 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, you can overcome Ellefale's challenges and progress in Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana.
