Metaphor: ReFantazio

The Redscale Apocalypse Dragon is a New Game Plus super boss that’s only available in this mode once you’ve completed the game at least once (and only available on Easy mode and above - so don’t play it on Storyteller mode).

In New Game Plus you’ll have all your items from your first playthrough, your Royal Virtue progress, as well as all your Archetype progress - however, you will need to do Follower links to unlock them all again, so definitely do that. You’ll also start from level 1, so you’ll need to get to level 70-80 (depending on how easy a ride you want) to take on the boss.

When you’re of that level, head to Akademeia and select the Book of Apocalypse (on the table in the middle of the room) to take on the super boss - you can take it on any time, and if you die, you return straight to Akadameia.

This boss fight is similar to the other Dragon boss fights, just so you’re aware. Make sure you have the Reverent Crown (80% Archetype proficiency… one of a few items that don’t carry across playthroughs) and if you can make Sublime Spoonfuls too (for 4 extra turns), you can keep spamming them and never let the dragon have a turn. Either way, just buff your team, debuff him, and smash him with everything you have. And don’t wear any repel or absorb armour, but you can nullify his attacks (so use all the fire nullifying gear you have).

Once it’s dead, the ‘Closing the Book’ achievement is all yours.
