Ys Memoire: Defeating Ellefale Mastered

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, the Azure Queen of Death, a boss encounter far exceeding the difficulty of Dularn. Maintaining distance is crucial; close-quarters combat will result in significantly more damage taken. While manageable on normal difficulty, higher difficulties demand strategic preparation. The Ignis Bracelet proves invaluable.

Defeating Ellefale: A Strategic Approach

Sufficient grinding to boost health above 100 is recommended before engaging Ellefale. Raval Ore for armor upgrades is advisable, but conserve it for later, superior armor. Rushing the fight is ill-advised; Ellefale remains beyond the reach of basic attacks. Utilize the Ignis Bracelet's fireballs, maintaining maximum distance to minimize incoming attacks. While Ellefale's moveset isn't extensive, each attack packs a powerful punch.

Understanding Ellefale's Attacks

Ellefale's attacks, while individually manageable, can restrict player movement, demanding careful positioning. Her arsenal includes:

• A spinning disc projectile.
• A vertical slashing attack.
• Multiple lightning strikes.
• A slow-moving spinning sphere.

Detailed Attack Breakdown

Spinning Disc: This projectile requires precise timing. A well-timed jump is necessary to avoid it; jumping too early or too late will result in damage. Ellefale telegraphs this attack by raising her right arm.

Vertical Slash: Easily avoided by lateral movement (left or right). However, the need to simultaneously dodge other attacks might necessitate combining this evasion with jumping. Telegraphed by Ellefale raising her right arm.

Lightning Strikes: This is Ellefale's most challenging attack. She telegraphs it by leaning forward; a prompt forward dash is required. When she raises both arms, retreat to the opposite arena edge 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, potentially trapping the player. Telegraphed by Ellefale raising both wings.

By mastering these evasion techniques and utilizing the Ignis Bracelet effectively, players can overcome this formidable opponent. Remember, distance and precise timing are key to victory.
