How to Defeat Devourer of Flames in Metaphor: ReFantazio

Before you take on the Devourer of Flames in Metaphor: ReFantazio, it’s a good idea to defeat the other two dragon bosses first. Each dragon drops a piece of armor that helps block fire attacks, which is very useful in this fight. The Devourer of Flames uses many fire-based attacks.

Besides fire, this dragon can also charm your party members, making them attack each other. This can be a big problem, so use Patra or Me Patra to cure it, or equip the Narcissus Brooch, which you get after defeating Milo.

The dragon also uses slash-and-strike attacks to deal physical damage. Avoid using Archetypes weak to these attacks, or you might give the boss an extra turn.

Best Team Comp to Beat Devourer of Flames in Metaphor: ReFantazio

Prince – Protagonist: The Prince Archetype is great for the protagonist because it resists all attack types. Use Royal Slash to deal Almighty damage, which is very effective against bosses.
Healer – Eupha: A Healer is essential since the Devourer of Flames can damage your whole party each turn. Don’t hold back on healing. Besides reviving fallen allies, use Patrecarm to help your units survive fatal attacks.
Warlord – Strohl: This Archetype is needed to boost your damage dealer. It can also use Megido for Almighty damage. Be careful, as the dragon can remove your buffs. Boosting your team’s Evasion can help dodge the Flamespire of Ruin.

Equipping the Cardinal Dragon gear is crucial for this fight. If you have two pieces, half of your party will survive the Flamespire of Ruin. Use the Faker’s Repel ability to protect the rest.
