Faithwight Mageleto is harder than ANY boss in Metaphor (so far)

What is this deeply cancerous enemy design? Atlus just decided to give this rando the most powerful skillset and build ever. He gets a summon action along with enemies to heal him by A LOT?????????????? Also love how the game just does videogame things in terms of artificial difficulty and just randomly scraps its whole weakness mechanic.

We all get one turn no matter if we attack the enemy's weakness or not in this atrocious dungeon. Yay for artificial difficulty in videogames just because some people think that's soooo fun...

Ah, you are also doing it before doing the main dungeon. It is indeed painful if you do in that order, I would recommend doing the main dungeon before this tower, and the reason why should become clear quickly afterward. It is great xp if you can manage it though, that's the tradeoff of bad weather (which you knew would be a thing going in); harder fights, better rewards.

This enemy is not even half as strong as the ones to come in this game. He even has a weakness to Strike, future bosses don't have a weakness at all (you'll have to inflict it) and can also generate up to 4 extra turns - even without hitting your weakness or critical.

You ain't seen nothing yet.

Nah, I did it after the dungeon. I'm a level 46 right now

He's actually a fairly minor threat all things considered. you just have to focus down the summon, which is vulnerable to wind powers. then focus him down with light and blunt force.


And that is coming from a guy who had the misfortune of dealing with him during Stormy Weather. aka, when you don't get extra turns for exploiting weaknesses.

oh didnt' see that part. yae you had the same misfortuane. stormy weather makes the monsters not give you extra turns for exploiting weaknepoints. however they give you extra stuff.
