In the immersive world of Metaphor: ReFantazio, dungeons are not just challenges but gateways to thrilling encounters with formidable foes. Among these, the Faithwight Magileto stands out as a particularly tough adversary you'll encounter in the Spire Of Blind Faith. This mini-boss-like enemy is notorious for its difficulty, often appearing as a red threat on your Fairy Sight map, signaling a challenging Squad combat ahead.
Even with diligent grinding for XP, facing the Faithwight Magileto requires meticulous strategy and a touch of luck, especially given its level and the additional enemies it can summon.
Weakness | Repel | Resists | Blocks |
---|---|---|---|
Strike | Light | Pierce | Electric |
This level 50 enemy has the capacity to summon additional level 50 foes, making it advisable to approach this battle only when your party is at least level 45.
Faithwight Magiletos wield formidable dark and light magic, capable of targeting individual characters or your entire party. Their arsenal includes the devastating Megidolaon, which inflicts severe damage across your team. Additionally, they benefit from passive buffs that amplify their damage output in dark, light, and other elements. They can also utilize Soul Scream to gain four Press Turn icons in a single turn, and summon more level 50 skeletons to bolster their ranks in combat.
These summoned minions bring powerful slashing attacks and dark magic to the fray, along with potent buffs and one of the most effective healing spells in the game, often restoring the Faithwight Magileto to full health. Like the main enemy, these minions are weak to Strike, making it crucial to focus your strategy around this vulnerability.
Conquering the Faithwight Magileto is no small feat, even at level 50. Here's how you can prepare and strategize to overcome this daunting challenge:
While the specific Archetypes you choose are flexible, ensure your party covers as many of these strategic points as possible and avoids weaknesses to Dark, Light, or Slash. If you have access to multiple Archetypes and can leverage Skill Inheritance, prioritize Strength-focused ones. Equip at least two party members with party-wide healing spells, and ensure everyone can perform a Strike attack to maximize Press Turn Icons while keeping up with necessary healing.
Bear in mind, this fight involves an element of luck, especially against consecutive Megidolaons, which can be nearly impossible to survive. Equipping most of your party with Dark and Light dodge can increase your chances of ending the enemy's turn more quickly. If the Faithwight Magileto summons allies, prioritize eliminating them before they can heal the main enemy. Dekaja can be useful to dispel any buffs from summoned foes, but your primary goal each turn should be to execute at least six Strike attacks and two party-wide healing spells.
