How to Defeat Grand Trad Cathedral Homo Avades in Metaphor ReFantazio

Throughout Metaphor: ReFantazio, players will be pitted against numerous human bosses in many major scenarios. The first deadline dungeon ending with the Grand Trad Cathedral will pit players up against one of the first major humans they will need to take down, which is Homo Avades. This is how to beat Homo Avades in Metaphor: ReFantazio.

In Metaphor: ReFantazio, what are the weaknesses of Homo Avades?

Weaknesses will again be your friend, as they usually are in Atlus JRPGs. Also, watch out for resistances. Note that Gallica does not always judge things the way you would expect her to, so identifying who exactly the enemies are and what their weaknesses and resistances are might prove tricky at times, like with this monster here.

Fortunately, Strike attacks are the one weakness of Homo Avades-or at least its shell. These are the following strike moves available to you: Since they're only accessible by having a character play as the Brawler Archetype, they're not particularly common at this point in the game.

Grande Traditional Cathedral: Boss Battle Against Homo Avades

In Metaphor: ReFantazio, you'll definitely want to bring down Homo Avades by exploiting its one weakness to Strike attacks. This, of course, is in addition to the myriad resistances it has. In fact, it resists so much magic that you'll likely want to avoid using any altogether. You'll be dealing less damage this way.

Concerns about Homo Avades can be divided into several categories. Once you've beaten the heart, the boss fight is over. Having said that, there is also a shell. It summons adds that give insane damage if it's left for too long. You can even rip their hands off if you don't want them healing the shell. Best tactic, assuming you aren't over-leveled, is kill the hands -> shell -> heart, in that order.

With these steps, we hope you can defeat it. Remember, patience will play a huge role in this defeat against the Homo Avades Grand Trad Cathedral.
