Conquering the Faithwight Magileto in Metaphor: ReFantazio
Metaphor: ReFantazio's dungeons often feature formidable mini-bosses, and the Faithwight Magileto in the Spire of Blind Faith is a prime example. This challenging encounter requires strategic preparation and a bit of luck to overcome.
Faithwight Magileto Weaknesses and Abilities
The level 50 Faithwight Magileto can summon additional level 50 enemies, making it ill-advised to engage below level 45. Its arsenal includes devastating dark and light magic, both single-target and AoE (Megidolaon), amplified by passive damage buffs. Furthermore, it can use Soul Scream for multiple Press Turn icons and summon skeletal reinforcements.
These summoned skeletons possess strong slashing attacks, dark magic, and potent healing capabilities, often restoring the Magileto to full health. Their weakness, however, is Strike attacks.

| Strike | Light, Pierce, Electric |
Strategies for Victory
Even at level 50, this battle is incredibly tough. Preparation is key:
-
Archetype Selection: Prioritize Archetypes resistant to dark, light, and slash damage (Warlock and Thief are good choices). Skill inheritance is crucial for maximizing Strike skills (from the Brawler Archetype), Dark Dodge (Magic Knight), and Light Dodge (Healer). Strength-focused Archetypes are ideal if Skill Inheritance allows it.
-
Skill Set: Equip party-wide healing spells on at least two characters. Ensure every party member has a Strike attack to maximize Press Turn icons. Tetrabreak is helpful to counter Tetrakarn from summoned enemies, and Dekaja can dispel enemy buffs.
-
Gameplay Tactics: The fight involves some luck; consecutive Megidolaons are nearly unsurvivable. Dark and Light Dodge significantly mitigate damage. Prioritize eliminating summoned allies immediately to prevent their healing. Aim for at least six Strike attacks and two party-wide heals per turn.
This battle demands a near-perfect strategy and a degree of fortune. Careful preparation and execution are your best chance of success.
