Metaphor: ReFantazio Homo Margo guide: How to win without taking damage

The Homo Margo boss fight in Metaphor: ReFantazio might honestly be the most annoying fight in the whole dang game. Not the hardest, but potentially the most frustrating. This is what I would class as a “gimmick fight:” Winning isn’t a test of how strong your party is or whether or not you’ve got the best equipment, it’s more like a puzzle.

Actually trying to figure out how to beat the Homo Margo properly is for nerds ready to plumb the true depths of Metaphor: ReFantazio’s battle system. You want me to engage my brain and think? Surely I can just brute force it instead.

Thankfully I did find a relatively easy way to cheese this boss and use its own skills against it. I don’t know if I’d refer to this as an oversight or a bug, but it certainly doesn’t feel like the method the developers intended for you to use here. Nevertheless, this is the best way to beat Metaphor: ReFantazio’s Homo Margo, the RPG’s biggest pain in the butt.

This boss is mostly just annoying because of one move: its Reversal Prayer skill. But we can actually take advantage of this gimmick in a very silly yet effective way.
