Metaphor: ReFantazio - How To Beat Homo Avades (Boss Guide)

screenrant.com:

Out of the many bosses your party will face in , Homo Avades may be one of the most disgusting you'll have to beat. This final plan of the Necromancer Zorba is a gargantuan creature with many resistances and weaknesses. By targeting certain spots on this boss, you can prevent it from overwhelming your team and secure a much easier victory.

You encounter Homo Avades at the end of the Regalith Grand Cathedral dungeon, an area you explore during the quest. Depending on which followers in you have with you, aspects of this dungeon may take a long time to get through. Defeating Zorba in the Cathedral will set up the Homo Avades fight immediately after you take down the Necromancer.

Thankfully, you get to restore all your MP and HP for your team at the Plateau Mirage before the boss fight. Your party is expected to be around Level 20 for this fight, but you only need to reach this point if you are on Hard difficulty. Homo Avades does not have any additional abilities or phases on higher difficulties, but it does deal more damage and has extra health.

Those playing on Normal difficulty or lower only need to have their party be around Level 15 for the Homo Avades boss fight.

The Plateau Mirage located right before the plaza outside the Cathedral also lets you change your party composition. Not only can you alternate which party members you bring with you, but you can also change which Archetypes in everyone has equipped. Try to use at least one Archetype with Fire and another with Strike abilities to exploit the most glaring weaknesses of Homo Avades.

Increasing your Wisdom in Metaphor: ReFantazio is great for getting unique dialogue choices and solving problems presented in the game.

Notably, there are no vendors you can trade with before the fight, so you can only take what items you haven't used in the dungeon already. Be careful not to use any healing or MP restoration items before the fight, as you can gain both resources back at the Plateau Mirage mentioned earlier.
