All boss weaknesses in Metaphor: ReFantazio are also included in this list.

Need to know how to beat Zorba in Metaphor: ReFantazio? As one of the main story boss fights in the game, you need to be prepared. Though Zorba isn't Weak against any skill types, you can still damage them with physical skills. Stick to Slash, Pierce, and Strike damage. Light skills can also be used.

Another tricky boss fight is Monk Captain Gideaux. Monk Captain Gideaux is protected by the King's magic, so you can't target him at all. Instead, focus on taking out his allies - a Spearmonk (weak to Fire and Ice) and a Mage Monk (weak to Pierce and Strike).

How to beat Destroyer Charadrius

Destroyer Charadrius is the final boss in Metaphor: ReFantazio, and it's quite a fight. With no weaknesses, it's hard to know how to strategize his defeat.

It's important for players to know that this battle is split into two parts. It's a long fight, and you'll need to focus on protecting yourself and your party as much as damaging Destroyer Charadrius. Be sure that your party is at least level 70 before you take on this fight, and stock up on items to heal, revive, and give your party buffs.

Charadrius does a lot of party-wide attacks, which can be extremely tedious to deal with because of how damaging they are. But, if you're expecting them, you can prepare for them.

I'd advise sending in your Protagonist as the Prince Archetype for this fight so that you can take advantage of Hero's Proving (Increases your Attack/Defence/Hit/Evasion by 3 Ranks for three turns). Combine that with Vidyartha from the Royal Masked Dancer Archetype (Decreases Attack/Defence for one enemy by 2 Ranks for three turns), and you've already set yourself up for a good fight.

Remember to include a healer in your party, too. I think that goes without saying... A dedicated healer is going to ensure your party stays on its feet.

Do not start this fight if you haven't taken out all of the crystals in Tyrant's Star. Charadrius could have up to 12 attacks per turn, depending on how many crystals you haven't destroyed.

Apply debuffs/buffs, attack, heal/guard. These should be your main actions during this fight. There's no room for risks or mistakes here, really. It's the final fight for a reason.
