In the intricate world of Metaphor: ReFantazio, each dungeon presents formidable foes that serve as mini-bosses on your journey to the ultimate boss. These enemies, often highlighted in red by the Fairy Sight in the overworld, demand strategic Squad combat even if you've spent extra time grinding for XP.
Among these challenging adversaries is the Faithwight Magileto, encountered in the Spire Of Blind Faith. At this stage of the game, battling this enemy requires near-perfect strategy and a bit of luck.
Faithwight Magileto Weakness & Skills In Metaphor: ReFantazio
| Weakness | Repel | Resists | Blocks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strike | Light | Pierce | Electric |
This level 50 enemy can summon additional level 50 foes, making it unwise to engage below level 45. Faithwight Magiletos wield potent dark and light magic, capable of targeting individuals or the entire party. Their arsenal includes Megidolaon, a devastating spell that hits all party members with high damage. Additionally, they possess passive buffs that amplify their dark, light, and Megidolaon attacks. They can use Soul Scream to gain four Press Turn icons in a single turn and summon more level 50 skeletons, which wield powerful slashing attacks and dark magic, along with strong buffs and one of the game's best healing spells. These minions are also vulnerable to Strike attacks, making them a critical focus for victory.
How To Beat Faithwight Magileto In Metaphor: ReFantazio
Conquering the Faithwight Magileto is a formidable challenge, even at level 50, and nearly insurmountable at lower levels. To enhance your chances, consider these preparatory steps:
- Acquire Dark Dodge from the Magic Knight.
- Obtain Light Dodge from the Healer Archetype.
- Inherit Strike skills from the Brawler Archetype.
- Utilize the Warlock Archetype, which resists both Dark and Light damage.
- Employ the Thief Archetype, which resists Dark damage.
- Bring Tetrabreak to counter Tetrakarn from summoned enemies.
Your choice of Archetypes is flexible as long as you cover the mentioned strengths and avoid weaknesses to Dark, Light, or Slash. If you have access to multiple Archetypes and can use Skill Inheritance, prioritize Strength-heavy Archetypes. Ensure at least two party members have party-wide healing spells, and equip everyone with a Strike Attack to maximize Press Turn Icons and manage the health lost from these attacks.
Success in this battle involves some luck, especially with consecutive Megidolaons being nearly fatal. Equipping most party members with Dark and Light dodge increases the chances of ending the enemy's turn prematurely. If the Faithwight Magileto summons allies, prioritize their swift elimination before they can heal. The Dekaja skill can dispel buffs from summoned enemies, but your primary goal each turn should be to execute at least six Strike attacks and two party-wide healing spells.
