Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana is a fantastic entry point for new players, even though it serves as a chronological replacement for Ys 3. While Dularn presents a significant challenge, Ellefale, The Azure Queen of Death, takes the intensity to another level. It's crucial for players to keep their distance from this formidable boss, as close proximity significantly increases the chance of getting hit by her devastating attacks.

Ellefale is designed to withstand a substantial amount of damage even on normal difficulty, and the challenge intensifies on higher difficulties. However, overcoming her is feasible with the aid of the Ignis Bracelet.

How to Beat Ellefale, The Azure Queen of Death

Grinding is essential in Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana, especially before facing Ellefale. Ensure your health exceeds 100 by grinding and consider using Raval Ore to upgrade your armor. However, it's advisable to reserve this ore for even better armor later in the game.

Rushing into battle against Ellefale is ill-advised. Not only does it expose you to greater damage, but her position often puts her out of range of your standard attacks. Utilize the Ignis Bracelet to shoot fireballs from a safe distance across the arena. Staying far away minimizes the risk of being hit by her powerful attacks, which, though limited in number, are highly damaging and can rapidly deplete your health.

Ellefale, The Azure Queen of Death Attacks

Ellefale's attacks, while individually manageable, can restrict your movement within the arena, making strategic positioning essential. Her arsenal includes four distinct attacks:

• A spinning disc attack
• A vertical slashing attack
• Multiple strikes of lighting
• A slow-moving spinning sphere

Spinning Disc

Ellefale initiates combat with a spinning disc launched towards you. Dodging this requires perfect timing; jump too early, and you'll land on the disc, too late, and it will hit you before you can clear it. This attack demands sharp reflexes, especially since Ellefale telegraphs it by raising her right arm. It's a high-stakes move that can significantly impact your health and the flow of the battle.

Vertical Slash

This attack is easier to evade; simply move to the left or right. However, during complex attack sequences, you may need to dodge this while simultaneously jumping to avoid the spinning disc. Ellefale signals this move by raising her right arm.

Lightning Strike

Perhaps the most challenging of Ellefale's attacks, the lightning strike requires precise movement. When Ellefale leans forward, charge towards her. As she raises both arms, retreat to the opposite end of the arena and jump. This maneuver helps you avoid the lightning beams that would otherwise strike you if you were moving towards or standing still near Ellefale.

Spinning Sphere

The spinning sphere slowly advances, potentially blocking off safe zones in the arena. While easy to outrun on its own, it becomes dangerous when combined with other attacks, effectively trapping you. Ellefale signals this move by raising both her wings, adding another layer of strategy to the fight.
