How to Defeat Homo Sabara in Metaphor: ReFantazio

On your way to Virga Islands in Metaphor: ReFantazio, a human—Homo Sabara—will accost you. This fight can be difficult if you’re not prepared, but once you know its weakness, it’s manageable provided that you can keep up with its ferocious attacks.

Homo Sabara is weak to lightning, which means skills like Kande are what you’ll need to use. While it’s possible for Archetypes to inherit this skill, meaning that you don’t necessarily have to use a particular one, I still highly recommend that you bring along ones from the Mage and Seeker lineages. This is so that your Mage will be able to use Synthesis like Gakande. You’ll want to get rid of Homo Sabara’s tentacles, as its Random Strike attack is incredibly annoying, especially if it can hit someone’s weakness.

I also recommend bringing a Healer. Homo Sabara’s Random Strike can hit everyone in your party and it can also inflict Malady with Ink Spew. Malady is terrible, considering it prevents you from healing up your party. Not only can Healer heal everyone with skills like Medi, they can remove the Malady debuff as well. Of course, you can also choose to handle this with items.

Defeating Homo Sabara will net you: 4830 EXP, 863 A-EXP, 5400 MAG, 3300 Money, and Sabara’s Sucker. You can sell Sabara’s Sucker for even more money.

Metaphor: ReFantazio is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC.
