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. 

The Glodell boss fight offers very little freedom in party permutations and combinations. The fight is locked into a 2v2 encounter. It is the Protagonist and Junah up against Glodell and Hector. It is your Archetype selection and the fire skills that dictate the outcome of the battle. 

As discussed earlier, the boss duo has fairly exploitable weaknesses. This necessitates bringing the Wizard (with the Botra skill) and the Masked Dancer (Infernal Vortex) for Glodell. We will also require the Seeker’s Mask and its Cyclo skill against Glodell’s hound, Hector.

Metaphor ReFantazio Glodell Battle Strategy

Dealing with Glodell requires you to prioritize targets. While the fight may be a 2v2 on paper, you will have to gang up on Hector first. Hector is weak to wind. Use the Masked Dancer’s Cyclo on the dog to deal large chunks of damage. You want to kill the dog as fast as possible because he can deal serious damage when buffed by Glodell. 

Kill the dog, and Glodell steps into the fray. Glodell is weaker in comparison and is a walk in the park if you use your fire attacks right. Use combinations of the fire skills Botra, Infernal Vortex, and Hellfire Dance to chip away at his HP and claim victory.
