Recommended Level
Level 8
By the time you reach Ellefale, youshould be around Level 8,which should be more than enough to take her down. If you areLevel 6 or below,we stronglyrecommend farming a bit morebefore attempting to take her on, as she will deal substantially more damage to you.
Additionally, if you haven’t already,make sure you have obtained theRubyfrom the secret Red Chestbefore starting this encounter, as it not only has yourIgnis Bracelet deal more damagebut alsoallows you to charge it up to deliver a much stronger attack,which will be extremely useful for this encounter!
How To Defeat Ellefale In Ys Memoire: The Oath In Felghana
Like the Dularn encounter,Ellefale doesn’t have a whole lot of attacksat her disposal, which allows you to familiarize yourself with her general attack patterns and develop a strategy on how to counter them relatively fast. However, youmust use your Ignis Bracelet to damage her,which can trip many newcomers up.
you’re able to expectfour different attacksfrom Ellefale, withsome coming into play much laterin the encounter, whichshe may not even cast.Nonetheless, you can learn about all the attacks she has locked and ready to go, how to deal with them, and how to deal sufficient damage to her to defeat her and obtain the Moonstar Statue!
Ellefale - Magic Disc Attack
One of Ellefale’s mostcommon attacksis herMagic Disc,having herlift her right arm across her bodytoward her left shoulder beforehurling a large Magic Disc across the groundat you, forcing you toleap over it.
Getting hit by this attack will dealquite a lot of damage,so it’s best to avoid it at all costs. We recommendrunning toward the screen when you see her begin casting it,thenrunning back toward her and leaping over itas you continue forward!
Adol - Ignis Bracelet
Theonly time you can consistently attack Ellefaleis when she performs the aforementionedMagic Diskaction, as it allows you tosimultaneously dodge the incoming attack and use your Ignis Braceletto damage her. You can alsobegin charging your Ignis Bracelet in between attacks,allowing you tohurl a powered-up fireball at herface as you leap over her Magic Disc.
To do this,after Ellefale performs an action, begin charging your Ignis Braceletby holding down the input (you must have the Ruby we covered earlier) andkeep it held down until Adol flasheswith a white glow.Keep holding it down until she casts the Magic Disc, run toward the camera, double back,and as soon as youleap toward her and over her attack, let go of the buttonand launch a large fireball at her for massive damage.
Standard fireballs will also work here,but it willtake substantially longer to take her down.While this method can take a bit to get the hang of, it is well worth learning, as it allows you to essentially ignore her other actions, as you’re not too worried about attacking until she performs this one!
Ellefale - Vertical Slash Attack
Anothercommon actionof Ellefale’s is herVertical Slashattack, having herraise her left arm high above her headbeforelaunching a sizeable magical attack toward youthat covers a lot of space vertically, leaving lots of room to the left and right of it.
As soon as you see Ellefale raise her left arm, begin running to the left or rightuntil you’re close to the edge of the arena, thendouble back and start running to the other side.Theattack won’t be fast enough to hit youand will pass behind you. Youcan also attack her during this actionif you dodge it.
Charge your Ignis Bracelet as you begin runningto the opposite end of the arena andkeep it charged until the attack missesyou, thenturn toward her and let the fireball ripto deal substantial damage to Ellefale!
Ellefale - Wind Orb
Next up is Ellefale’sWind Orbattack, which israrely implemented on its ownand isalmost always paired with one of the actions above.It’s essentially aspiraling ball of wind that spirals sporadically around the arenaas it approaches Adol, giving him another obstacle to try and evade.
For the most part, youwon’t have to worry about this action until you drop her HP down about halfway.Still, even then, thisattack rarely caused us issues,as it’seasy to see and keep away from,so it shouldn’t trip you up too muchunless you’re a bit too close to herwhen she lets it loose!
Ellefale - Lighting Strikes
HerLightning Strikesattack, however, is an entirely different story and is something you must be mindful of, as it can bedevastatingif it hits you. Ellefale willlean forward before suddenly lifting both her arms toward the skyand throwing them forward violently,sendingfive lightning currents forward.
There willalways be a gap between the third and fourth lighting current(if you’re looking at it from left to right), so try andposition yourself there whenever you see her begin castingthis attack. This is avery tricky action to evadeand only comes into play whenever she hasabout a quarter of her health left.
Wedon’t recommend trying to attack during this action,as you should be focused primarily on avoiding it due to how much damage it can do to you, which can stop your attempt right then and there. Nonetheless,just repeat the steps above until Ellefale is defeatedand obtain that precious Moonstar Statue!
