Master the Trial of the Dragon: Bygone Legacy in Metaphor: ReFantazio. Learn how to defeat the Devourer of Stars with our comprehensive guide, covering strategies, weaknesses, and rewards.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start the quest by speaking to the Enraged Mustari at the Upper Blue Sky Bridge in Altabury after 9/26 on the in-game calendar.
  2. 2
    Purchase information from the Altabury tavern; it will reveal the dragon is immune to all attacks and curses its enemies.
  3. 3
    Prepare your party: The protagonist with the Prince Archetype is ideal for dealing Almighty damage. Equip the Dragon’s Fall sword and Utilitarian’s Manual for spamming the Royal Sword Synthesis Skill. Inherit passive skills that boost Almighty damage.
  4. 4
    Assign roles to other party members: one for healing, one for buffs, and one for debuffs.
  5. 5
    Equip accessories to counter debuffs: Malice Screen (from magic shops at night), Venomward Charm (from collecting Gold Beetles), Divine Light Gloves (from Skybound Avatar dungeon), or Sancturion Gloves (from Disgraced Ruins). These protect against Poison and Hex.
  6. 6
    Ascend the Tower of Insolence, a dungeon north of Altabury. Be aware of Scourge Malmorta skeletons blocking stairs and a Trance Crystal that spawns them.
  7. 7
    At the top of the Tower of Insolence, save your game and heal your party.
  8. 8
    Approach the altar to initiate the boss fight against the Devourer of Stars.
Tips
  • The Devourer of Stars reflects all damage types except Almighty. Focus your offense on Almighty damage.
  • The Prince Archetype with high strength can deal significant Almighty damage. Use the Royal Sword Synthesis Skill (with Utilitarian’s Manual) or Royal Slash. Manage MP carefully.
  • Alternatively, use skills that ignore enemy resistances or skills from the Persona Master/Royal Masked Dancer that inflict a temporary weakness, followed by a strong attack.
  • The boss inflicts Poison and Hex. Hex is more detrimental. While Poison damage is negligible, Hex can be very annoying. Equip accessories like Venomward Charm or Malice Screen to protect against these.
  • The boss's first move, Miasma Whorl, permanently reduces your party's max HP to 300. Healing every round is crucial to survival.
  • The boss buffs its attack with Great Dragon’s Wrath and can grant itself extra turn icons with Great Dragon Shriek.
  • Be prepared for debuffs from Roar (Attack, Defence, Hit Rate/Evasion reduction) and status ailments from attacks like Distant Black Howl (Hex) and Purple Toxiclaw (Poison).
  • The boss can remove your party's buffs with All Reset and its own debuffs with Dekunda.
