Recommended Archetypes

• Healer
• Knight
• Merchant
• Thief

You should use any Healer lineage archetype during this boss fight as it will give you access to the AoE healing spell Medi and the debuff cleansing spell Patra. This will be extremely useful to deal with the Daze debuff.

Merchant has access to the Gold Attack Almighty spell. This has a high chance of critical hits, which might give you press turns if you land one.

Knight and Merchant synergize together to create the Synthesis spell Hammer of Justice that can inflict pierce vulnerability on the enemy.

The first stage

The first stage of this battle is pretty straightforward. Make sure to use your healing spells at regular intervals so that your party can survive.

Use the Knight’s Hammer of Justice to inflict pierce and deal damage. Keep an eye out when the Homo Jaluzo uses the Gathering Power move.

Block for the next turn as it will give itself four extra turns and will unleash a barrage of attacks on you.

The second stage

During the second stage, you will have two additional targets. To defeat the Homo Jaluzo in Metaphor ReFantazio, you will first need to take out its eyes. Target the eyes first to impair its vision.

Use the same strategies as the first stage and make sure that you have enough HP to withstand the Homo Jaluzo’s onslaught when it starts powering up.
