This article will cover a few essential methods that you should keep in mind while facing the Goborn King in Metaphor ReFantazio.
A guide to defeating the Goborn King in Metaphor ReFantazio
The Goborn King fight becomes problematic due to a few key reasons. The first part is that you will need to slay a set number of Goborns first to call in their leader. This means that you will be using up your precious MP and resources. The second part is that the main boss will arrive with an army of Goborns, some of whom you will need to deal with before taking down the Goborn King.
Here are a few tips to deal with the Goborn King in Metaphor ReFantazio.
Archetypes
- Healer
- Faker, if you have it unlocked
- Gunner
The Goborn King does not have any particular weakness that you can exploit, but you can utilize the Gunner's sleep skill to put him and his army to sleep. Faker can be used to remove the buffs from the Goborn King, and Healer is helpful to keep your party alive.
Recommended equipment and items
Make sure to carry items that can inflict and cure Hex. You can find Purified Teacake in the St. Fermis Church and debuffing items from the magic shop in Sunshade Row.
The boss battle
Set the difficulty to easy while taking down the Goborns
When you are taking down the first set of Goborns, make sure to lower the difficulty to easy. This will allow you to take them down without wasting too much of your MP or healing resources. Make sure to revert your difficulty when there are three objective markers left if you want to face the Goborn King in Metaphor ReFantazio at your preferred difficulty.
Target the Goborn Hexer Esto first
The Goborn Hexer can be one of the most annoying enemies as it can cast hex and stun your party. We recommend targetting this enemy first and then slowly making your way down to each Goborn.
Make sure to use Faker to remove Goborn King's buffs
The Goborn King will raise his Evasion and Hit Rate when you take down his minions. Make sure to use Faker to remove his buffs so that he cannot evade your attacks.
