There’s a reason why Elmenta in Metaphor: ReFantazio are so difficult to defeat, and it’s definitely not because of their powerful attacks or defensive skills.

The problem is that these bags of Reeve and MAG will do everything in their power to run away from the battle before you get the chance to kill them. In this guide, we’ll show you how to beat Elmenta in Metaphor: ReFantazio.

To find Elmenta, you’ll have to explore dungeons and play on the Gauntlet Runner.

However, keep in mind that they spawn randomly, and their type depends on the level of the dungeon. There are four categories of Elmenta:

Elmenta Type Location
Blue Low-level dungeons
Red Mid-level dungeons
Green High-level dungeons
Gold Extreme difficulty dungeons

Naturally, the Green and Gold Elmenta will give you hard-to-find rewards, but to get those, you’ll have to progress further into the main story and gain access to high-level dungeons.

The only way to defeat the Elmenta enemies before they run away is by delaying their turn or stunning them. To achieve this, attack them in the overworld to lower the yellow bar before the battle. This causes them to miss their turn entirely.

Don’t hesitate to use the Phantasmal Doll accessory, which allows you to perform two strikes in quick succession, taking down the Elmenta. To purchase this item, go to the magic shop in Grand Trad and spend 49,000 Reeve.
