In Metaphor: ReFantazio, while progressing through the main storyline, players eventually reach the Regalith Grand Cathedral dungeon alongside Hulkenberg and Strohl. Here, they encounter various monsters (humanoid enemies), but one of the most unusual and disturbing creatures is the Homo Oppo Weakness. This enemy appears like a cracked eggshell with two legs wearing boots; inside, it hides a strange duck-lizard hybrid creature.
homo oppo weakness
If you’re wondering about the homo oppo weakness, we’ve got you covered. In the game, enemies have vulnerabilities to specific melee attack types: Pierce, Slash, and Strike. And Homo Oppo is particularly weak only to Strike attacks — that’s its only weakness. It has no other resistance or vulnerability, meaning magic-based attacks still deal much damage, but Strike attacks are the most effective.
Despite this clear weakness, Homo Oppo possesses a large HP pool, making the battle slightly lengthy if you’re not using the right strategy. To handle this, it’s highly recommended to switch one of your characters to the Healer Archetype, which not only provides healing support but also allows additional turns to inflict extra damage using strike-based weapons.
In our gameplay example, we equipped Strohl with the Healer Archetype, which gave him the Apprentice’s Mace, a weapon that performs strike-type attacks. This setup worked perfectly against Homo Oppo, efficiently exploiting its only known weakness.
- Key Weakness: Homo Oppo is weak exclusively to strike-type attacks.
- No Resistance: It has no defense against any magical element, but no extra vulnerability either.
- Best Strategy: Equip characters with strike weapons, preferably under the Healer class, to sustain and attack.
- High HP Warning: Prepare for a longer fight due to its large health pool.
By understanding and targeting its specific vulnerability, you can handle Homo Oppo with far more efficiency and keep your party safe throughout the encounter.
Pro Tip:
Archive: Always check the enemy’s weaknesses before getting into a long fight in Refantazio. Equipping the right attack type (such as Strike against Homo Oppo) can significantly reduce the duration of the fight and resource usage. Also, switching to the Healer archetype not only provides healing but also extra turns, which is crucial against high-HP enemies like Homo Oppo.
