With the fate of the world threatening to fall into the hands of a powerful villain, it will be up to players to make the difference inMetaphor: ReFantazio. Not only will you be fighting monsters out in the open world, but you will also need to win the hearts of the people that reside within this fascinating world. Naturally, it is not going to be an easy task, and any help you may get is always going to make a difference.
One of the toughest obstacles standing in your way will be dangerous bosses that mark significant milestones in your journey to become king. The mystery of Kriegante Castle will be one of them, where children are being kidnapped for nefarious purposes, and if you hope to stop more tragedies from happening, you are going to have to beat the creature responsible for it all:Homo Jaluzo.
How To Beat Homo Jaluzo In Metaphor: ReFantazio
After capturing the supposed villain Heismay inMetaphor: ReFantazio, you will soon discover that there is more to this tale than the leaders of the town have let on. Venturing into the depths of the town will reveal a dark truth. A human nightmare is roaming about, and it is the one eating up all the unfortunate children who have been captured by the real monsters that are supposed to be protecting the people.
Preparation for this battle involves choosing the rightArchetypesfor your party, the skills, as well as some curative items that will come in handy. Beyond your chosen Physical damage dealers like aWarrior/Brawler, if you have already unlocked theMagic SeekerorMagic Knight, those are good choices to go with as well. Consider bringing theFakerto complete the party. Lastly, make sure you have a party member who has progressed the Healer Archetype sufficiently to unlock thePatra spellthat can cure status effects. Pack plenty ofSulphurous Saltsas well.
Combat Strategy
Given that it is a literal giant baby, it can be daunting to face Homo Jaluzo at first, but you already have everything you need to bring it down. The idea is tofocus Physical damageon the boss while minimizing the harm it can do. The Faker’sTarundasupport skill will reduce its attack for three turns, and should be cast as much as possible to protect the party. For the rest of your turn, use yourSynthesis skillslike the Horse-Drawn Carriage or Leap Thrust to deal high damage to Homo Jaluzo whenever you have theMP to spare.
When the boss starts using the Stare skill, it might afflict a character withDaze. This reduces your hit chance and takes away Turn Icons if you miss the attack. It can be removedusing Patra or Sulphurous Salts, so make sure you have both solutions on hand. Keep this cycle of pain going, and even after Homo Jaluzo gets healed by his scheming mother, it will make little difference before you finally defeat this foe.
