Encountering the formidable Destroyer Charadrius as the final boss is an integral part of achieving the main ending in Metaphor: ReFantazio. Regardless of your chosen difficulty level, this boss will rigorously challenge your understanding of the game’s mechanics and demand peak performance.
For the adventurers seeking 100% completion or an extra layer of challenge, confronting Destroyer Charadrius at full power is a thrilling option. However, be prepared for one of the toughest confrontations in the game, requiring a well-thought-out strategy and a readiness to adapt.
Strategies for Battling Destroyer Charadrius at Full Power
Your battle against Destroyer Charadrius at full power commences as you enter Tyrant’s Star, the game’s ultimate dungeon. Here, players can challenge empowered versions of all primary bosses. However, defeating them will weaken Louis, and if you wish to face Destroyer Charadrius in its most potent form, it is crucial to abstain from battling these bosses.
While navigating through Tyrant’s Star, avoid activating any teleport circles that could lead you into boss encounters. Engaging with these circles will trap you into fights with humans unless you opt to revert to a previous save file. The only circle you should approach is marked by a quest icon, guiding you to the next area of Tyrant’s Star. By refraining from defeating any bosses en route to Louis, you ensure that Destroyer Charadrius is prepared for battle in its full glory.
Pay attention to Gallica’s warnings as she will indicate when you’re about to confront a powerful foe, prompting you to retreat instead.
Key Differences When Facing Destroyer Charadrius at Full Power
Challenges abound when facing Destroyer Charadrius, particularly at full power. Notably, only the second form of Destroyer Charadrius enhances in strength, which means you will still first engage with Archdemon Louis and the initial form of Destroyer Charadrius. The changes you can expect when you opt for full power include:
- Destroyer Charadrius wields eight Press Turn icons during each turn.
- The absence of ultimate weapons for each Archetype during the fight.
- Access to boss-specific abilities from each human boss, which inflict damage along with additional status effects.
Despite some familiar elements in this battle, successful navigation will demand concentration on evading or parrying attacks to eliminate his Press Turn icons, as failure to do so could result in a swift defeat. Additionally, he has access to Soul Scream, granting him an extra four Press Turn icons, culminating in a devastating turn that few parties can withstand. Preparing adequately and considering level grinding prior to this encounter can significantly enhance your chances of success.
