The first time you face off against the Greatworm Homo Butera boss will be a lot easier than the second encounter. It is important to remember that you will only fight the boss the second time if you choose to raise your followers’ ranks. There are certain Archetypes that you can use during both battles to give you an advantage. These are:

First Encounter

  • Mage
  • Seeker
  • Knight

During your first encounter with the Greatworm Homo Butera boss, you will need to wear the boss down quickly. For this, you can use the Mage and Seeker Archetypes to deal swift damage to the boss. The best way to damage the enemy is with Wind and Ice attacks. However, Ice and Wind attacks consume a lot of MP, so you need to manage your light and heavy attacks. The Knight Archetype can use its defensive spells to avoid any attacks from the boss. Once you have damaged the boss significantly, it will swallow you and lead to the main dungeon.

Second Encounter

  • General
  • Wizard
  • Faker
  • Cleric

The second time you fight the Greatworm Homo Butena in Metaphor ReFantazio can be dealt with similarly to the first encounter. In this fight, you need to make sure that you balance your offense and defense. The Faker Archetype can help you get past the boss’s defenses, while the Commander can be used to buff members of your party, boosting the damage taken by the boss. However, you also need to avoid any attacks from the boss since it will hit harder this time around.

It is also recommended that, while you do not need any special items for the Greatworm Homo Butera fight, you stack up on healing items. This will allow your character to heal even if your healer in Metaphor ReFantazio is out of turn.
