The Homo Margo boss fight in Metaphor: ReFantazio<\/a> might honestly be the most annoying fight in the whole dang game. Not the hardest, but potentially the most frustrating. This is what I would class as a “gimmick fight:” Winning isn\u2019t a test of how strong your party is or whether or not you\u2019ve got the best equipment, it\u2019s more like a puzzle.<\/p>\n

Actually trying to figure out how to beat the Homo Margo properly is for nerds ready to plumb the true depths of Metaphor: ReFantazio’s battle system. You want me to engage my brain and think? Surely I can just brute force it instead.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thankfully I did<\/em> find a relatively easy way to cheese this boss and use its own skills against it. I don\u2019t know if I\u2019d refer to this as an oversight or a bug, but it certainly doesn\u2019t feel like the method the developers intended for you to use here. Nevertheless, this is the best way to beat Metaphor: ReFantazio’s Homo Margo, the RPG’s biggest pain in the butt.<\/p>\n

How to defeat the Homo Margo boss on Virga Island in Metaphor: ReFantazio <\/h2>\n

This boss is mostly just annoying because of one move: its Reversal Prayer skill. But we can actually take advantage of this gimmick in a very silly yet effective way.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll notice that on your first turn, Homo Margo isn\u2019t resistant or weak to anything. However, on its second turn it will cast Reversal Prayer. From this point onwards it will usually block all physical attacks and almost all elemental skills. Obnoxious!<\/p>\n

Take note of the colour of Homo Margo\u2019s aura after it uses Reversal Prayer. This indicates which element it is currently using, allowing you to use the appropriate skills to counter it. Best of luck in advance to any colourblind players out there.<\/p>\n
