All About Glodell Boss in Metaphor ReFantazio
You come across Glodell holding Junah hostage as part of the ‘Infiltrate the Charadrius’ quest in Metaphor ReFantazio. The Level 38 boss stops you in your tracks, threatening to kill Junah if you take a step. He then unleashes his dog on you to start the fight. Hector does most of the heavy lifting while being assisted and buffed by Glodell. Junah will join you and the battle will be a 2v2 affair.
Preparation for Glodell in Metaphor ReFantazio
Glodell and his hound are a ferocious duo but have exploitable weaknesses. Glodell is weak to fire, while Hector is weak to wind. Therefore, it is a must to bring forth the Wizard with the Botra skill, or the Masked Dancer with the Infernal Vortex to deal with Glodell. You will need the Seeker’s Mask to deal with the Cyclo ability to exploit Hector’s weakness.
