How To Beat All Skyrunner Charadrius Bosses In Metaphor: ReFantazio

Skyrunner Charadrius Bosses in Metaphor ReFantazio 1

The Skyrunner Charadrius has four boss fights, and here are the recommended Archetypes that you should choose for the party members:

  • Protagonist - Cleric/Commander
  • Strohl - Pugilist/ Gunner
  • Hulkenberg - Magic Knight
  • Heismay - Gunner/Assassin

Before going to the dungeon, you must do some things first. Head to The Greatest Catch tavern and talk to the Informant there. He should provide you with quite a lot of information on the bosses you will face inside the Skyrunner dungeon. Try to save Matterbreak Hammer because you need it for a boss fight. If you are planning to complete smaller dungeons before going to the Charadrius, make sure you Master the Commander Archetype, which is from the General lineage.

The Charadrius is one of the shortest dungeons in the game and is basically a boss rush, as you can ambush and one-shot all the enemies you face along the way. One of the bosses can cause the Daze, so it would be great if you could buy a few items that cured that Status Effect. Skills like Patra can also cure Daze.

Try to complete the dungeon in a single day so that you have time to increase the bond with your Followers and complete side quests before proceeding to the next main area.

Sergeant Xanth is located inside the Crew Quarters of the Skyrunner. He has no weaknesses but is susceptible to status ailments. The Gunner Archetype is an excellent option because the Pierce Attacks can cause Sleep and Poison, which are easy to hit on this boss. He is not a heavy-hitting boss, so he won't do much damage to you. You should always be on the offense, as you only have three turns to deal with him.

You get the Sergeant's Magla Key upon successfully defeating Sergeant Xanth.

Glechom might be the most demanding boss to face out of everyone in the Charadrius. He is located inside the Port Corridor and has no weaknesses but can be easily provoked. Hulkenburg's Knight Archetype can taunt the boss, making her tank all the attacks while the rest of the party members focus on offense. The boss's Earsplitting Shriek can cause a Daze Status Effect on your party members, greatly reducing their hit rate. The boss starts the fight with this attack, so if more than one of your party members gets Dazed, restart the fight and try again.

Glechom's primary attack is the Punishing Blow, which targets all party members. This does a lot of damage, and if a party member is weak to Physical attacks, the boss will get another turn and do it again. You can still run with the Gunner Archetype for this fight, as all the Pierce attacks deal quite a bit of damage.

You get the Master Sergeant's Magla Key upon successfully defeating Master Sergeant Glechom.

Ceiba is much more of an annoying fight than a hard one to deal with. The boss is located in Starboard Corridor and is weak against all Physical attacks. However, the boss performs Mage Wall during his turn, which erects a barrier against all Slash/Pierce/Strike attacks. This means you can not exploit his weakness unless you have Mastered a Commander Archetype and inherited the Heartbreak Strategem skill. Alternatively, you can use the Matterbreak Hammer item, which does the same thing.

You get the Chief's Magla Key upon successfully defeating Maintenance Chief Ceiba.

After reaching the Bridge and making all the guards leave the room, you can fight Cabio and Salva simultaneously. However, the restriction of defeating them in three turns remains. Cabio is weak to Electric Skills, while Salva is weak against Physical Pierce attacks. Once again, the Gunner Archetype is very useful in this fight. You must focus on taking out Cabio first, ensuring you do not hit Salva with an Electric attack as he blocks them.

Salva only uses Mage Almighty, which damages all party members but is still not that much of a threat, given that you have at least one Skill to heal the entire party. You get the Officer's Magla Key upon successfully defeating Helmsman Cabio and Grand Chief Salva.
