Metaphor: ReFantazio - How To Beat Undead Grius (Boss Guide)

In a shocking twist of events in Metaphor: RefantazioGrius is transformed from the grizzly and reliable veteran solider in your party to a poor boss battle as a member of the undead. The character's death after his failed attempt to assassinate Louis at the royal funeral was surprising enough, but now his battle-hardened skills, and some new ones, will be used against her. Although this is not a multi-stage battle, the battle-hardened zombie-like warrior can make a tough fight as when he fought alongside you in the events of the game so far.

While Grius no longer has the ability to use any of the archetypes in Metaphor: Refantazio As he has before, his moveset can surprise any unprepared player. He has one multi-target attack, "Phantom Dance"and a basic single-target hit attack. It's a limited skill pool, but effective if you're not ready. With the right strategy based on your new party member, you'll quickly be able to dispatch Undead Grius and see your old friend rest in peace.

Use the Knight's Skills

To defeat Undead Grius in Metaphor: RefantazioYou need to Use Hulkenberg's new Jump thrust synthesis skill From her Knight Archetype and her standard skill, Knight's Proclamation, to draw his attention to her. The newly unlocked ability to use synthesis skills allows you to combine the powers of two party members' archetypes to make for devastating blows, by costing an extra turn icon. Along with Jump Thurst being an incredibly powerful attack compared to others you've been able to use in the game so far, it also lowers the target's Defense stat every time the move is used.

Such violence is what makes you one of the toughest Metaphor: Refantazio Letters. Whether to use a synthesis skill should be assessed carefully though. This is because it not only uses a turn icon for both party members involved, but it also consumes the MP cost of using a move like Jump Thrust. So, you should only be sure to use such a move if you are not planning to have the second member of your team use any particular archetype skills during that turn.

The weakness of Undead Grius

Light up his audience

Among the skills and items you will have available in Metaphor: Refantazio At this point, Undead Grius has a Weakness to light damageSo you should have your protagonist use the Healer archetype and Strohl use Warrior, in addition to Hulkenberg Knight. Healer has Hama, a light-based attack as an innate skill, so it's a no-brainer to have this cleric-like archetype on your team as well. As its name implies, it can also learn the healing skill, "Medi" at rank 03.

Healer is great to use here since it offers the best of both worlds, inflicting super-effective damage against Undead Grius while healing your party when needed. Strohl is still best using the Warrior archetype here to pepper in extra blows with his slash attack. Since this is a one-stage fight and you can use Hulkenberg's Knight's Proclamation to pull single-target blows away from him, you don't need to spend MAG to unlock a different archetype for him beforehand.

Undead Grius Boss Fight Rewards

Money, MAG, EXP and a memento

For defeating Undead Grius in Metaphor: RefantazioYour rewards are 250 EXP, 150 A-EXP, 1800 MAG, 2000 Money, and the Just called "Grius's Memento". There are no item rewards aside from Grius's Memento but the MAG will be enough to afford buying archetypes for some of your party. The EXP can also push any of your members to the next level. As for Grius himself, his ending is bittersweet, temporarily regaining control of himself before his final death to say that he leaves the prince and Maria's home in your hands.

Hulkenberg channels his words, confirming that the party will indeed protect both Maria and His Royal Highness. After a cutscene where the protagonist destroys the black magla crystal, the three return to the haunted honeybee to check in on Maria and Fabien. For the playing beyond the Metaphor: Refantazio Demo, this section of the game is quite sad. Just remember to use Hulkenberg's new skills and take damage, and that Undead Grius has a weakness to light damage, and the fast but sad Metaphor: Refantazio Boss fight will end with victory becoming yours.
