Conquering the Faithwight Magileto in Metaphor: ReFantazio
Metaphor: ReFantazio's dungeons feature formidable mini-bosses, often encountered before the final boss. The Faithwight Magileto in the Spire of Blind Faith is a prime example, presenting a significant challenge even for well-prepared players. This guide outlines its weaknesses and a winning strategy.
Faithwight Magileto: Weaknesses and Abilities
This level 50 enemy can summon additional level 50 foes, making it ill-advised to engage below level 45. Its arsenal includes devastating dark and light magic, affecting either single targets or the entire party. Megidolaon, a particularly potent party-wide attack, adds to its offensive capabilities. These elemental attacks are further amplified by passive buffs. The Magileto also utilizes Soul Scream for multiple Press Turn icons per turn and can summon skeletal allies.
These summoned skeletons possess strong slashing attacks, dark magic, and access to powerful buffs and high-level healing spells, capable of rapidly restoring the Magileto's health. Their weakness lies in Strike attacks.

Defeating the Faithwight Magileto: A Strategic Approach
Even at level 50, this battle demands a near-perfect strategy and a degree of luck. Preparation is key:
-
Archetype Selection and Skill Inheritance: Prioritize Archetypes resistant to dark and light damage (Warlock, Thief). Inherit Strike skills from the Brawler Archetype and utilize Dark Dodge (Magic Knight) and Light Dodge (Healer). Strength-focused Archetypes are beneficial if Skill Inheritance is available.
-
Essential Skills: Equip party-wide healing spells on at least two party members. Ensure every party member possesses a Strike attack to maximize Press Turn icons. Tetrabreak is useful to counter Tetrakarn used by summoned enemies. Dekaja can dispel enemy buffs.
-
Battle Tactics: The fight's difficulty stems from the potential for consecutive Megidolaons, which are nearly unsurvivable. Maximize Dark and Light Dodge to mitigate this risk. Prioritize eliminating summoned allies before they utilize their healing magic. Aim for at least six Strike attacks and two party-wide heals each turn.
Success hinges on a combination of strategic preparation, skillful execution, and a bit of fortune. Remember to focus on eliminating summoned enemies quickly and mitigating the Magileto's most powerful attacks.
