Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana, while chronologically replacing Ys 3, offers a fantastic entry point for newcomers. Dularn presents a significant challenge, but Ellefale, the Azure Queen of Death, is in a league of her own. Crucially, maintaining distance is paramount; close-quarters combat significantly increases the frequency of her devastating attacks.

This boss inflicts substantial damage even on normal difficulty, posing a daunting challenge on higher settings. However, the Ignis Bracelet proves invaluable in overcoming this hurdle.

How to Beat Ellefale, The Azure Queen of Death

Unlike some games, grinding is essential here. Boost your health above 100 before engaging. While Raval Ore can upgrade your armor, save it for later, more impactful upgrades.

Rushing into battle is ill-advised. Besides increasing damage vulnerability, Ellefale is initially beyond the reach of basic attacks.

Fortunately, the Ignis Bracelet allows you to launch fireballs, dealing damage from a safe distance. Maintain maximum range; proximity increases the likelihood of taking hits. Ellefale's moveset isn't extensive, but each attack packs a powerful punch, rapidly depleting health.

Ellefale, The Azure Queen of Death Attacks

While individually manageable, Ellefale's attacks restrict player movement, making positioning critical. Her arsenal includes:

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

Spinning Disc

This attack launches a spinning disc towards you. The distance is too great to traverse on foot; jumping is the only viable option. Improper timing—jumping too early or too late—results in damage. Precise timing and reflexes are crucial. Ellefale telegraphs this attack by raising her right arm.

This attack is incredibly dangerous, capable of inflicting significant damage and potentially costing you multiple attempts. The telegraph, however, provides a vital window of opportunity.

Vertical Slash

This thin, blade-like attack is easily avoided by simply moving left or right. However, when combined with other attacks, precise movement (e.g., sideways while jumping) might be necessary. This attack is also telegraphed by Ellefale raising her right arm.

Lightning Strike

This is Ellefale's most challenging attack. Telegraphed by her leaning forward, it requires immediate action. When both arms are raised, retreat to the opposite end of the arena and jump. Running or jumping towards her while the lightning strikes will result in a direct hit. Jumping while running away ensures safety.

Spinning Sphere

Ellefale creates a slowly moving spinning sphere, restricting movement options. While easily outrun individually, it can become problematic when combined with other projectiles, potentially trapping you. This attack is telegraphed by Ellefale raising both wings.
