Metaphor: ReFantazio - How To Beat Elegy Of The Soul Boss

There are so many bosses to fight in Metaphor: ReFantazio that keeping track of them might easily become overwhelming. However, the Elegy of the Soul is a boss that is pretty tough to forget.

This is a Level 75 enemy who's part of the final Trials of the Dragon side quest in the game. If you have already completed the other challenges, teleport to the Magla Hollow and reach the bottom floor of the Dragon Temple. However, before you begin the battle, let's take a look at what you need to do to defeat the Elegy of the Souls in Metaphor: ReFantazio.

Metaphor: ReFantazio How To Prepare For Elegy Of The Soul

Preparing properly for your battle against the Elegy of the Soul boss will take some time, as you need to reach at least Level 70 to be able to take him down. It's a good idea to even go slightly above that, so you can be sure that you'll win. Keep in mind that this enemy doesn't have any weaknesses per se, and he has access to 8 different Archetypes in total.

He will often cycle through them during the fight, which will allow you to target the weakness of whichever one he's using at the moment. Additionally, we recommend avoiding any Magic and Physical Attack repelling items, as they can make the boss use his Boss' Armageddon's Final Sire attack, which will immediately kill the entire team. It's a good idea to get some healing items, as the Elegy of the Soul will often lower your health bar, as well as the ones of your allies.
