Conquering any formidable monster or boss in Metaphor: ReFantazio hinges on a thorough understanding of their combat style. Familiarizing yourself with an enemy’s attack patterns allows you to equip suitable skills and items to counter their strikes, while uncovering their vulnerabilities lets you deliver increased damage and earn more Press Turn icons.
Among the fierce adversaries you will encounter are the Chimenzas, powerful Chimera-like creatures that lurk in various dungeons. Each Chimenza shares a specific weakness, and recognizing this can significantly enhance your chances of victory. Here, we will explore that weakness and provide strategies to overcome these formidable foes.

Chimenzas unleash a mix of attacks including multi-target and single-target fire as well as electric skills, alongside physical slash and strike moves. One notable ability, Skull Crusher, can inflict the Forget status on a member of your party, while their fire-based abilities have the chance to inflict burns. This blended array of elemental capabilities considerably raises the challenge level, as they typically favor group-targeting attacks that exploit your vulnerabilities.
Furthermore, Chimenzas possess the dekunda skill, rendering efforts to debuff them futile. In hard mode, you will face these enemies with as many as three Press Turn icons, combining their offensive prowess with substantial health, making them mid to high-level threats within dungeons. Forming a well-balanced party is critical to streamlining the encounter.
How to Defeat Chimenzas in Metaphor: ReFantazio
To efficiently combat Chimenzas, your primary target should be their weakness to wind. This can be easily achieved with the Seeker Archetype early in the game and later by switching to the Summoner Archetype as you progress. However, it’s worth noting that Seeker lineage Archetypes themselves have a vulnerability to fire, so transferring wind skills to a more fire-resistant Archetype, like the Warrior, is advisable.
Furthermore, ensure you have a healer in your party, or at the very least equip Patra or Ren Patra from the healer class. Chimenzas threaten to inflict Forget status or burns that can rapidly influence the dynamics of battle, potentially leading to wasted Press Turn icons. Rather than focusing on debuffs, consider bolstering your team’s capabilities through buffs from the General lineage Archetypes, as these provide party-wide enhancements that are safe from the enemy’s dekunda skill. Having team-wide healing capabilities is equally important, as Chimenzas often unleash their group-targeting attacks preferentially, unless they can hit a specific weakness.
