Kirby and the Forgotten Land

How to Beat Genwel Meteonelfilis (DLC Final Boss)

Add to Watchlist

Kirby and the Forgotten Land - Star-Crossed World Final Boss Genwel Meteonelfilis

Genwel Meteonelfilis is the final boss in the Star-Crossed World DLC for Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Learn how to beat Genwel Meteonelfilis, the best Copy Abilities to use, and the location of the DLC final boss in this guide!

Best Copy Ability to Use Against Genwel Meteonelfilis

Dragon Fire

Dragon FireDragon Fire

Dragon Fire is the best ability to use against Genwel Meteonelfilis due to its high attack power, and the residual burn damage it leaves after you stop attacking. It also provides Kirby with mobility via its charge attack when jumping and attacking in a direction.

Buzz-Saw Cutter

Buzz-Saw CutterBuzz-Saw Cutter

The Buzz-Saw Cutter is a great option for its high and consistent damage, especially when utilizing its charge-and-hold attack. This is great for Phases 2 and 3 of the boss fight.

Blizzard Ice

Blizzard IceBlizzard Ice

Blizzard Ice is recommended for those who prefer to guard rather than dodge. The guard on this ability blocks almost all attacks from the boss. Unblockable attacks include the big, final smashes with the building in Phase 2, and the explosion attacks in Phases 1 and 3.

Consistently using Blizzard Ice's attacks can also freeze the boss, especially during Phase 1. The reliability of this does decrease by the later phases of the fight though.

All Copy Abilities

Use Deep Sleep in Waddle Dee's Weapon Shop Before the Fight

The Sleep's final evolution, Deep Sleep, can not only heal Kirby, but it can also give him one of three random buffs per use. These buffs are an attack boost for 200 seconds, a speed boost for 200 seconds, or a health boost that gives a second life bar.

The health boost is the best to get, especially if you're playing on Wild Mode, but feel free to keep using the Deep Sleep ability in Waddle Dee's Weapon Shop to get all three buffs before the fight!

Genwel Meteonelfilis Boss Phase 1 Strategy

Check markHover During AOE Attacks

Check markDodge During Charging Attacks

Check markMove Around During Projectile Attacks

Check markJump to Avoid Its Beam Attack

Check markAttack After Its Long Attack Patterns

During phase 1, the boss will follow long attack patterns consisting of area, charging, and projectile attacks. At the end of these attacks, it will be vulnerable for a short amount of time, allowing you to deal as much damage as possible.

All you need to do is to avoid the attacks, wait for them to end, and once the boss becomes vulnerable, go in for an attack. Keep doing this until the boss is beaten and enters its second phase.

Hover During AOE Attacks

Final Boss AOE Attacks
The boss has a lot of area attacks that cover a large portion of the arena. The simplest way to deal with them is to hover around since these attacks only deal damage on the ground.

Dodge During Charging Attacks

Final Boss Charging Attacks
The boss also has attacks where it charges towards you in a straight line. The only way to deal with them is to dodge or move out of the path quickly.

How to Dodge

Move Around During Projectile Attacks

Final Boss Projectile Attack
The boss also has attacks where it hurls projectiles at you or call down a meteor from the sky. The best way to deal with projectile attacks is to keep moving around the arena to dodge them.

For meteors, you can actually see where they will land by looking at the shadows on the ground. All you need to do is to avoid the impact zone.

Jump to Avoid Its Beam Attack

Final Boss Beam Attack
Once the boss' HP gets low, it now does a new attack where it fires a beam at Kirby. To avoid getting hit, you just need to jump every time the beam sweeps across the arena.

Attack After Its Long Attack Patterns

Final Boss Short Pause
After the boss performs its attacks, you will be given a short time window to freely attack. During this time window, the boss won't do anything, so make the most out of this time window to deal damage.

Dodge or Move Behind It to Attack Safely

Once you can anticipate the boss' combos and attacks, aim to get behind it to do safer, consistent attacks. Remember that perfectly timing dodges slows down time and allows you more windows to attack or reposition!

Genwel Meteonelfilis Boss Phase 2 Strategy

Check markJump and Dodge During the Sword Sweep Attacks

Check markGo In-Between or Dodge During the Projectile Attack

Check markMove Around During the Galactal Attack

Check markDodge Its Building Attacks

Check markAttack When It Exposes Its Hand or Tail

The boss's phase 2 turns up the difficulty since it grows giant and hovers outside the arena, making it harder to deal damage to it. However, its attacks can be anticipated easier since they're slower and more telegraphed. Do note that attacks during this phase will evolve more dangerously as the boss's health gets lower and lower.

Jump and Dodge During the Sword Sweep Attacks

Final Boss Sword Sweep
One of the boss's attacks has it sweep its sword in an arc. Jump over these initial horizontal swings.

Once the boss's HP gets low enough this attack will add on more sword swings, including vertical ones where you have to dodge or guard in addition to jumping.

This Attack Adds More Sword Sweeps When HP Gets Lower

When its HP gets to certain points, the Sword Sweep attack will have more swings added, with its later variations having vertical swings coming from above. Jump over the horizontal swings then dodge or guard against the vertical ones. The biggest vertical swing will have an AOE attack after its smash, so avoid that as well.

Go In-Between or Dodge During the Projectile Attack

This attack has two variations: blue and pink. The blue projectiles have a set pattern that will come at you all at once. The pink projectiles will hone in towards your direction and shoot off one-by-one. For the blue variation, find a space in the pattern where you will be safe to avoid damage. For the pink variation, run or dodge away from the incoming projectiles.

Once the boss's HP gets low enough, more and more projectiles will be added and their patterns get more complicated.

Move Around During the Galactal Attack

Final Boss Galactal Attack
Another one of the boss' attacks is summoning multiple Galactals and sending them to attack Kirby. All you need to do to avoid getting hit is to move out of the shadows you see on the ground since that's where the Galactals will emerge and attack. You can also dodge or guard from them.

The number of Galactals summoned significantly increases as the boss's HP becomes low, but the strategy to avoid them remains the same.

Dodge Its Building Attacks

Final Boss Building Attack 1
Once the boss' HP gets low, it now performs a new attack where it grabs a large building and slams it on the ground. You just need to stay out of the building's shadow once you see it on the ground to avoid getting crushed, then avoid getting hit by the shock wave afterwards.

Enter Through the Holes in the Building

Boss Building Attack 2

Additionally, there's a variation of this attack later on in the fight where the building will have holes on it. During this variation, the boss will drag the building across the arena. All you need to do is to stay under the holes of the building as it's dragged across. When it's about to smash the building overhead, you can also reside within the holes to avoid the damage, based on its shadow.

Attack When It Exposes Its Hand or Tail

Body Part When to Attack
Tail
After the boss slams its tail on the ground.
Hand
After the boss slams its hand or sword on the ground.
Torso
While the boss is near the platform.

Although the boss will be floating outside the arena during its second phase, it will occasionally expose its tail or hand after an attack. Once it does this, dodge or guard from these attacks and deal as much damage as possible, before the boss becomes unreachable again. Just be wary as the tail and hand attacks have AOE attacks to them.

Additionally, the boss will stay close to the platform, leaving its torso vulnerable. It usually does this during the Galactal and Sword Sweep attacks. You can also deal damage while the boss is close the platform, but you need to be careful while doing so.

Genwel Meteonelfilis Boss Phase 3 Strategy

Check markFocus on Breaking Its Shell

Check markMove to the Edge If It Explodes

Check markDefeat Its Minions First

The boss's last phase is simpler compared to the 1st and 2nd phases in terms of the objective and attack patterns. During this phase, you'll fight the boss in the platform again just like the first phase, but it doesn't go out of it anymore. You do have to act more aggressively during this last phase.

Focus on Breaking Its Shell

Final Boss Third Phase Broken Shell
Your primary objective to beat the boss in this phase is to break its shell before it unleashes a big explosion. Breaking its shell is the only way for you to actually deal damage to the boss, and if you manage to do so before it unleashes a big explosion, it will deal a massive amount of damage. Do this a number of times, and you'll eventually beat the boss.

Additionally, if you manage to break its shell for the third time, it will be stunned for a while. Make sure to continue attacking the boss while it's stunned.

However, do take note that as it charges for the big explosion, the boss will perform AOE attacks, and summon meteors and minions, making hard for you to break its shell.

Move to the Edge If It Explodes

Final Boss Third Phase Explosion
In the event that you didn't break the shell before the explosion, all you need to do is to move towards the edge of the platform to avoid getting hit by the explosion. You don't need to be quick since the explosion is really slow.

Defeat Its Minions First

Final Boss Third Phase Minions
Once it summons minions to attack you, it's best to get rid of them first since they can be a huge nuisance as you attempt to break the shell. After eliminating them, you can focus on breaking the shell again. You can even absorb some of these enemies for their abilities if you want to switch up your weapons.

You may also decide to ignore them if you want to focus on breaking the boss's shell, as the enemies do go away after a while. Just be careful as this means you have to dodge their attacks along with the boss's attacks if you decide to leave them be.
