Orgas Boss Guide

Struggling with the Orgas boss in Metaphor: ReFantazio? This guide breaks down its attacks, weaknesses, and provides a solid strategy to take it down.

Alright, let's talk about the Orgas boss fight in Metaphor: ReFantazio. This guy can be a real pain, especially since he's a beefed-up version of the Orgo you fought earlier. But don't sweat it – he's got a pattern, and once you know it, you'll be golden.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Resistances: Slash, Pierce, Strike
• Weaknesses: Dark (Mudo and its variants are your best friends here!)
• Elemental Damage: Takes full damage from all other elements.

Phases:

1. Opening Moves: Expect Orgas to start with War Cry, which lowers your party's attack and defense for three turns. Right after that, it'll likely hit you with Earsplitting Shriek, which tries to inflict Daze on everyone.
2. Buffing Routine: After some initial attacks, Orgas will start buffing itself. It begins with Soul Cry to gain two extra Turn Icons, then uses Heat Riser to boost its attack, defense, and agility for three turns.
3. The Big Hit: Following Heat Riser, Orgas will use Charge to power up its next physical attack. This is almost always followed by Slam Shatter, a massive party-wide hit.
4. Other Attacks: Orgas also has Skull Cracker (single target, may inflict Forget) and Slam Strike (single target physical attack).

Strategy:

• Watch Out for the Buffs: When Orgas uses Soul Cry and Heat Riser, get ready to guard on your next turn. The following Slam Shatter can deal some serious damage, but guarding will significantly reduce it. It's way better to take reduced damage than to have to revive your whole party.
• Knight Archetype Skill: If you've mastered the Knight Archetype, use the Shield Arts skill. While it doesn't do much damage because Orgas resists Strike, it decreases the boss's hit and evasion for three turns. This means more missed attacks and lost actions for Orgas.
• Commander Archetype Skill: If you have the Commander Archetype, Marakukaja can help mitigate damage if your characters do get hit.
• Patience is Key: This fight can be slow, but stick to the pattern. Focus on exploiting its Dark weakness for extra Turn Icons and use defensive buffs or debuffs to control the flow.
• Reward: Upon defeating Orgas, you'll get the Ebony Horn, which is crucial for the Superior Scrimshaw quest. You'll also be able to complete the Deeds and Diversions quest. Don't forget to grab one last item on the floor above the boss room before you leave the dungeon!
