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 defeat her. Maintaining distance is crucial; close-range combat is highly disadvantageous. While manageable on normal difficulty, higher difficulties necessitate preparation. The Ignis Bracelet is key to victory.

Preparation:

Significant grinding is recommended to boost health above 100. Raval Ore can upgrade armor, but saving it for later upgrades is advisable.

Combat 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 her attacks aren't numerous, they hit hard.

Ellefale's Attacks:

Ellefale employs four distinct attacks, each potentially restricting player movement:

• Spinning Disc: A projectile launched towards the player. Jumping is the only reliable counter; precise timing is essential to avoid damage both during the jump and upon landing. Telegraphed by Ellefale raising her right arm.

• Vertical Slash: A relatively easy-to-avoid attack countered by simple lateral movement. Telegraphed by Ellefale raising her right arm. This may require simultaneous dodging of other attacks.

• Lightning Strikes: The most challenging attack. Telegraphed by Ellefale leaning forward. Immediately charge away from her. When both arms are raised, retreat to the arena's opposite end and jump to avoid the lightning beams.

• Spinning Sphere: A slowly moving sphere that restricts movement. Easily outrun individually, but it can trap the player if combined with other attacks. Telegraphed by Ellefale raising both wings.

By mastering these avoidance techniques and utilizing ranged attacks with the Ignis Bracelet, you can successfully defeat Ellefale, the Azure Queen of Death. Remember, distance and timing are your greatest allies.
