Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana – How to Beat Ellefale

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. Crucially, maintaining distance is key; close-quarters combat is highly disadvantageous.

While manageable on normal difficulty, Ellefale poses a considerable threat on harder settings. Fortunately, the Ignis Bracelet is your key to victory.

Pre-Battle Preparation

Before engaging Ellefale, significant grinding is necessary. Aim for over 100 health. While Raval Ore can upgrade armor, conserve it for later, superior armor.

Battle Strategy: Utilizing the Ignis Bracelet

Rushing into battle is ill-advised. Ellefale is initially out of range of your standard attacks. Instead, utilize the Ignis Bracelet to launch fireballs from a safe distance. Staying at the far end of the arena minimizes your exposure to her attacks.

Understanding Ellefale's Attacks

Ellefale's attacks, while not numerous, are potent and can quickly deplete your health. Careful positioning is paramount as her attacks restrict movement options.

1. Spinning Disc Attack

This attack is telegraphed by Ellefale raising her right arm. A spinning disc hurtles towards you. Precise timing is crucial; jump too early or too late, and you'll take damage.

2. Vertical Slash Attack

This attack is telegraphed by Ellefale raising her right arm. A simple sidestep is sufficient to evade this attack. However, be mindful of other simultaneous attacks requiring both evasion and jumping.

3. Lightning Strike Attack

This is Ellefale's most challenging attack. Telegraphed by her leaning forward, you must charge forward initially. When she raises both arms, retreat to the opposite arena end and jump. Running or jumping towards her during the lightning strike will result in damage.

4. Spinning Sphere Attack

Telegraphed by Ellefale raising both wings, a slowly moving spinning sphere restricts movement. While easily outrun individually, it can become problematic when combined with other attacks, potentially trapping you.

By understanding Ellefale's attack patterns and utilizing the Ignis Bracelet effectively from a safe distance, you can successfully defeat this challenging boss. Remember, patience, precise timing, and strategic positioning are your greatest allies.
