Navigating the dungeons in Metaphor: ReFantazio often means encountering formidable enemies that serve as mini-bosses before you reach the final boss. These encounters are marked by red icons on the overworld Fairy Sight, indicating a challenging Squad combat ahead. One such daunting adversary is the Faithwight Magileto, lurking within the Spire Of Blind Faith. Facing this enemy at this stage in the game demands a well-crafted strategy and a dash 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 before reaching at least level 45. Faithwight Magiletos wield potent dark and light magic, capable of targeting single characters or the entire party. Their arsenal includes Megidolaon, a devastating spell that inflicts massive damage across the party. Additionally, they benefit from passive buffs that amplify their dark, light, and Megidolaon attacks. They can also deploy Soul Scream to gain four Press Turn icons in a turn, and summon more level 50 skeletons to bolster their ranks.
These summoned minions boast powerful slashing attacks and dark magic, alongside a formidable buff and one of the game's strongest healing spells, which they can use to restore the Faithwight Magileto to full health. Their weakness to Strike damage is crucial to exploiting in order to secure victory.
How To Beat Faithwight Magileto In Metaphor: ReFantazio
Even with a meticulously planned strategy, defeating the Faithwight Magileto remains a tough challenge, especially if you're not at least level 50. Here are some preparatory steps to increase your chances of success:
- 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.
- Carry Tetrabreak to counter Tetrakarn used by summoned enemies.
While the specific Archetypes you select are less critical, ensure your team covers as many of the above points as possible and is not vulnerable to Dark, Light, or Slash attacks. If you have access to multiple Archetypes and can use Skill Inheritance, prioritize those with high Strength. Equip at least two party members with party-wide healing spells, and ensure every member can execute a Strike Attack to maximize Press Turn Icons and mitigate the health loss from these skills.
Success in this battle hinges somewhat on luck, particularly when facing consecutive Megidolaons, which can be nearly impossible to withstand. Equipping most of your party with Dark and Light dodge increases the likelihood of ending the enemy's turn more quickly. If the Faithwight Magileto summons allies, prioritize eliminating them swiftly before they can deploy their healing magic. Consider bringing the Dekaja skill to dispel buffs from summoned enemies. Your strategy should focus on delivering at least six Strike attacks and two party-wide healing spells each turn.
