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. This guide will help you overcome this formidable opponent. Maintaining distance is crucial; close-quarters combat will result in frequent hits. While manageable on normal difficulty, higher difficulties demand strategic preparation. The Ignis Bracelet is your key to victory.
Preparation is Key
Before engaging Ellefale, sufficient grinding is essential. Aim for over 100 health points. While Raval Ore can upgrade your armor, conserve it for later upgrades.
Utilizing the Ignis Bracelet
Rushing into battle is unwise. Ellefale is initially out of range of melee attacks. The Ignis Bracelet's fireballs are your primary weapon. Maintain maximum distance to minimize incoming damage. Although Ellefale's attack repertoire isn't extensive, each strike is powerful.
Understanding Ellefale's Attacks
Ellefale employs four distinct attacks, each capable of restricting your movement options:
1. Spinning Disc: This projectile launches towards you. Precise timing is essential; jump too early or too late, and you'll take damage. Ellefale raises her right arm to telegraph this attack.
2. Vertical Slash: A relatively easy attack to evade by simply moving laterally. However, you may need to combine this with jumping to avoid other simultaneous attacks. Telegraphed by Ellefale raising her right arm.
3. Lightning Strike: The most challenging attack to avoid. When Ellefale leans forward, charge forward. When both arms are raised, retreat to the opposite arena end and jump. Running or jumping towards her during this attack will result in a hit.
4. Spinning Sphere: A slowly moving sphere that restricts movement options. Easy to outrun individually, but it can become problematic when combined with other attacks. Telegraphed by Ellefale raising both wings.
By mastering these evasion techniques and utilizing the Ignis Bracelet effectively, you can successfully defeat Ellefale, the Azure Queen of Death. Remember, distance and precise timing are your greatest allies in this challenging encounter.
