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 Ellefale, a boss fight demanding strategic precision and preparation. Proximity is detrimental; maintaining distance is key to survival. While manageable on normal difficulty, higher difficulties necessitate thorough preparation. The Ignis Bracelet proves invaluable.
Strategies for Victory
Before engaging Ellefale, substantial grinding is crucial. Aim for over 100 health. Raval Ore can enhance armor, but conserve it for later upgrades. Rushing is ill-advised; Ellefale is beyond the reach of standard attacks. The Ignis Bracelet's fireballs provide ranged damage. Maintain maximum distance to minimize incoming attacks.
Ellefale's Attack Patterns
Ellefale's attacks, while individually manageable, restrict movement, making positioning paramount. Her repertoire includes:
Spinning Disc: A projectile launched towards the player. Jumping is the only counter; precise timing is essential to avoid damage both during ascent and descent. The raised right arm signals this attack.
Vertical Slash: A relatively easy-to-dodge attack countered by simple lateral movement. The raised right arm signals this attack.
Lightning Strikes: The most challenging attack. Ellefale leans forward before unleashing multiple lightning bolts. Charge forward when she leans, then retreat and jump to avoid the strikes when she raises both arms.
Spinning Sphere: A slowly moving projectile that restricts movement options. Easily outrun individually, but it can become problematic when combined with other attacks. Raised wings signal this attack.
Mastering Ellefale's attack patterns and utilizing the Ignis Bracelet effectively, combined with sufficient health and strategic positioning, will secure victory. Remember to maintain distance, react swiftly to telegraphed attacks, and adapt to the dynamic nature of the fight.
