Understanding an enemy’s weakness is essential if you want to breeze through the toughest boss fights in Metaphor ReFantazio. The game features a rich combat system that Persona fans will immediately feel comfortable with, and nearly every boss has a key weakness that you can exploit.

If you’re in the Nord Mines area and have decided to fight the sleeping dragon, this will be your first major battle in the game. Here’s a look at Fire Dragon Mauna’s weaknesses in Metaphor ReFantazio, along with tips on how to make your party successful.

The Nord Mines dragon is weak to ice in Metaphor ReFantazio and prefers fire attacks, meaning burn damage is a likely issue to consider when preparing for the fight. It’s useful to have a warrior on hand, as they resist fire damage, making them a tanky option for this fight.

Officially known as the Fire Dragon Mauna and not the Nord Mines dragon, the colossal beast can be found at the end of the first dungeon-like area. It hits hard and can easily burn your party members, building up damage with this debuff, but having access to Ice damage makes the fight a breeze.
