Stray Elements Trophy/Achievement Guide

Discover how to find and defeat Elmentas in Metaphor: ReFantazio. Learn their locations, how to stun them, and the rewards for your efforts.

Alright, let's talk about those elusive Elmentas in Metaphor: ReFantazio! These little guys are key to getting certain trophies and achievements, and honestly, they can be a bit tricky to pin down. Think of them as shiny, floating energy orbs that really don't want to be bothered. You'll typically find one in each dungeon, and your main goal is to stun them with an attack from the overworld before diving into a Squad Battle. If you're too slow, they'll just up and vanish!

Once you're in the battle, you've gotta be quick. Elmentas are super speedy and prone to running away mid-fight, so your best bet is to take them down as fast as you can.

So, why go through all this trouble? Well, besides the satisfaction of a successful hunt, defeating Elmentas nets you a good chunk of MAG and money, making them totally worth the chase. The cool part is, they seem to respawn in the exact same spots in dungeons. For instance, in the Belega Corridor, there's one chilling in the large corridor near the save point and boss room. Just a heads-up, this area is usually swarming with Goborns, so be prepared for a bit of a fight before you even get to the Elmenta!

If you're looking for a slightly easier way to farm them, here's a neat trick: find an Elmenta close to a save point. After you defeat it, head back to Akademia using the save point. When you exit, all the enemies, including your target Elmenta, will have respawned. It's not strictly necessary though, as you'll naturally encounter more than ten of them just by progressing through the main story and tackling all the side quests and optional dungeons.
