Metaphor: ReFantazio culminates in an exhilarating boss gauntlet that will test your party’s mettle. At the peak of the Tyrant’s Star, your initial encounter will be with Archdemon Louis Charadrius.
As the first adversary in a series of challenging boss battles, remember that your HP and MP will be replenished before each fight resets, allowing you to unleash your full potential. Below, we detail effective strategies for preparing for and ultimately defeating Archdemon Louis Charadrius.
Preparation Strategies for Archdemon Louis Charadrius
- Protagonist: Prince
- Eupha: Royal Summoner
- Junah: Royal Masked Dancer
- Basilio: Royal Berserker
While other party combinations can be effective, this lineup is optimal for the final gauntlet. If available, equip the Utilitarian’s Manual to the Protagonist to enhance the efficiency of the Royal Sword, enabling its use with just one Press Turn icon. It’s advisable to transfer a strong, party-wide healing spell to Junah through Skill Inheritance as well.
Moreover, ensure that each character’s Archetype is maximized, as the end of the game demands the highest level of strategic execution, particularly with the final skills being crucial in this battle.
Effective Tactics to Defeat Archdemon Louis Charadrius
Archdemon Louis Charadrius does not possess any innate weaknesses, resistances, or immunities, which means you must create openings for attack. Start by allowing Junah to utilize Hellfire Dance to inflict a fire weakness upon Louis. Follow this up with Eupha’s Summon Dragon God (Modified) to exploit this new vulnerability while simultaneously debuffing Louis’s attack and defense.
Basilio can further facilitate this process by using Peerless War Cry to enhance debuffs on Louis or opting for Wanton Destruction to inflict an additional temporary weakness.
The Protagonist should consistently use Royal Sword on nearly every turn, establishing him as your primary damage dealer. In moments of dire need or when preparing for a significant attack round, reserve Hero’s Cry until it becomes absolutely essential.
Be mindful that Louis’s go-to attack is Quadwing Pierce, which can deal multiple hits across your entire party via a Pierce-type move. Regularly buff your team’s defense to mitigate potential damage.
An important tactic is to continue debuffing Louis. He will expend one of his Press Turn icons to remove all active debuffs, wasting his turn but reversing your strategic progress. Fortunately, Eupha’s debuffs will apply again with the correct sequence.
Watch for Louis as he prepares a devastating move by positioning his wings defensively to charge up Magla. If alerted by Gallica, focus all efforts on damaging him to interrupt this charge; allowing this attack to unfold without interruption could spell disaster for your party, even if you are defending well.
