Metaphor: ReFantazio – How to open the Book of Apocalypse and fight the secret boss

In other words, ReFantazio doesn’t lack challenging boss battles. If you’ve dared to face the dragon boss in the Tower of Blind Faith, you’ll understand how merciless some of the game’s most difficult encounters can be. However, there is one battle that surpasses them all and it cannot be encountered during your initial playthrough.

We’ll explain how to unlock this secret boss and reveal the truth behind the Book of Apocalypse.

How to open the Book of Apocalypse

In the imaginative world of ReFantazio, The Book of Apocalypse is an enigmatic artifact. If you haven’t encountered it yet, you can find it in Akademia, sitting on a book stand on the ground floor to your right. For your initial playthrough, attempting to interact with it will only prompt More to advise against touching it, and no immediate action will occur.

To unlock the book these two conditions must be fulfilled:

  • You must be on a New Game Plus playthrough
  • You cannot be on Storyteller difficulty

So, if you’re engaging in NG+ (New Game Plus) and choosing a difficulty level of Easy or harder, you’ll have the opportunity to unlock the book and battle the formidable Redscale Dragon, the most challenging hidden boss across all levels.

How to defeat the Redscale Dragon superboss

Initially, it’s advisable to avoid confronting this boss until you’re nearing the end of your New Game+ playthrough and have reached level 70 or higher. Additionally, be cautious about the accessories you select, as they might drain or repel the boss’ attacks, causing it to launch an unavoidable attack that instantly kills your entire team. However, you can still block or dodge its actions without setting off this deadly strike.

Preventing fires is a beneficial tactic because you’d likely have the necessary items if you’ve tackled the dragon bosses prior to this point in the game. Moreover, anything that enhances evasion can prove extremely useful, particularly for characters with high agility such as Heismay.
