| “ | The Elfilin we met was born from a small, compassionate soul that hid behind greater, invasive ambitions. Without a soul to temper its power, the creature's spatial-teleportation ability ran amok, opening mysterious vortices left and right. Now that they're whole again, they're already planning their next invasion. | ” | — Figure description |
Fecto Elfilis, titled the Ultimate Life-Form, is the final boss of Kirby and the Forgotten Land's main story. While not much is known about Fecto Elfilis' background, it is known that they are the form that Fecto Forgo takes after they absorb Elfilin, the embodiment of their compassion. Without Elfilin, Fecto Elfilis reverts back into Fecto Forgo, but they have some time before they revert all the way, seeming to slowly melt back into their gelatinous form. This form is likely the form the original "ID-F86" specimen was in when they arrived in the New World. Even with their more compassionate side, Elfilis's main goal is invading other planets, according to their figure description.
Their name is a corruption of their specimen name "ID-F86", which matches with Elfilin's "ID-F87". "Fecto" may come from "perfect", as Fecto Elfilis is known as the Perfect Lifeform in Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.
Boss battle
The battle against Fecto Elfilis takes place at the helipad on top of the Lab Discovera research facility during sunrise and is split into three phases. The last phase of the battle only takes place in Story Mode.
Fecto Elfilis has 2,500 HP in Lab Discovera and 1,750 HP at the Colosseum throughout the first two phases.[1]
Phase 1
During the first phase, Fecto Elfilis attacks via land and air, often alternating attacks (attack names are from the Kirby and the Forgotten Land Perfect Support Guide).
| Fecto Elfilis's Attacks - Phase 1 | ||
|---|---|---|
| Attack | Description | Notes |
| 軌道性パルサー Orbital Pulsar |
Fecto Elfilis either flies to the horizon or to the center of the battlefield and duplicates their spear seven times, and the phantom spears are launched towards Kirby one by one. The phantom spears always appear above Fecto Elfilis. At Lab Discovera, the Ultimate Life-Form always begins battle with two of these attacks off in the horizon. |
Pulsars are neutron stars that emit beams of electromagnetic radiation from their magnetic poles. |
| アンタレス・メテオ Antares Meteor |
Fecto Elfilis strikes the ground with their spear, causing a medium-sized shockwave around it. In the Colosseum, this attack is always the first to come out. |
Antares is the brightest star found in the Scorpius constellation. |
| グリーンフラッシュ Green Flash |
Fecto Elfilis aims their spear straight, charges, and then dashes forward. | Green flash refers to a brief period during sunrise or sunset where the sun appears to turn green just before it fully sets or after it starts rising. |
| アンタレス・ベルト Antares Belt |
Fecto Elfilis rushes towards Kirby with their spear head facing downwards, causing a momentary alteration to the battlefield. This attack occurs two or three times. This move is always followed by "Antares Meteor". |
|
| フルムーン Full Moon |
Fecto Elfilis spins around in a circle with their spear out, causing mini shockwaves to appear around them. | |
| ムーン Moon |
Fecto Elfilis strikes their spear once, twice, three times or four times in front of them, before finishing with a "Full Moon". Fecto Elfilis can also use this attack while the phantom blades of "Orbital Pulsar" are targeted at Kirby. |
|
| カイパーベルト・ウェーブ Kuiper Belt Wave |
Fecto Elfilis opens a small star-shaped dimension rift on the ground and opens five larger rifts around the arena before they pierce their spear through, causing shockwaves to spread across the battlefield. Phase 2 changes the pattern to lines of five rifts; first on one side of Kirby, then another on the opposite side. |
The Kuiper belt is a giant asteroid belt beyond Neptune. |
| ソル Sol |
Fecto Elfilis flies high up and charges their spear before unleashing a powerful beam that follows Kirby's movements. If Kirby makes contact with the beam, he will be trapped and take massive damage. |
"Sol" means "sun" in various languages, such as Latin, Spanish and Portuguese, among others. |

Phase 2
After depleting 60% of their health, Fecto Elfilis will start their second phase by warping the sky into a dimension rift-like state. They keep a similar move-set from the first phase with three additional attacks.
Fecto Elfilis also takes 0.8X damage during the entire second phase.
Once Fecto Elfilis's health is completely depleted, Kirby must use Mouthful Mode to remove the dome containing Elfilin while Fecto Elfilis's spear tries to attack him, which leads to the start of Phase 3. If Kirby fails to remove the dome in time, he will be damaged and Fecto Elfilis will recover some health, resuming the battle normally. The same will happen if Kirby refuses to use Mouthful Mode completely, except he won't take any damage.
| Fecto Elfilis's Attacks - Phase 2 | ||
|---|---|---|
| Attack | Description | Notes |
| スペースデブリ Space Debris |
Fecto Elfilis opens a huge star-shaped dimensional rift in the sky, and three, five or six meteors fall towards the ground, which Kirby has to dodge. This attack might be followed with "Fermi Paradox Answer". This attack always begins the second phase. |
|
| フェルミパラドックス・アンサー Fermi Paradox Answer |
Sometimes a large meteor immediately follows the Space Debris attack; if Kirby makes contact with this particular meteor, he will be pushed back and receive significant damage. This attack always comes out second once the second phase starts. |
The Fermi paradox represents confusion and conflicts that are associated with extraterrestrial life-forms and whether they exist or not. |
| ゲノムリペアーズ Genome Repairs |
Fecto Elfilis guards and makes copies of themselves, adding a secondary blue health bar. In order to deplete the blue health bar, Kirby must attack the real version to deplete the blue health before the blue laser ring closes in on them. Any blue health remaining at the end of this move will be added to Fecto Elfilis's normal health bar. If Kirby manages to deplete all of the extra health, Fecto Elfilis will be momentarily stunned and lose 200 HP. The real Fecto Elfilis has a shadow underneath them shortly after they duplicate. Fecto Elfilis will attempt to replenish 600 HP (Lab Discovera)/320 HP (Colosseum) the first time they use this attack. The second time they will try to replenish 300 HP (Lab Discovera)/210 HP (Colosseum). The third time onwards has them try to replenish 50 HP. Defense values change from 1.0X to 3.0X depending on how long the attack has lasted since activation. |

Phase 3
In this last phase, Fecto Elfilis, now without Elfilin and degenerating, attempts to take Kirby and Elfilin down with them by opening a giant dimensional rift and setting the New World on a collision course with Kirby's home planet, Popstar. As the two planets draw closer, objects around Lab Discovera begin to disintegrate, due to the effects of the Roche limit.
Conveniently, a big-rig truck crashes next to the duo, and Kirby uses Mouthful Mode to obtain the sole appearance of Big-Rig Mouth. The section mainly consists of Kirby dashing towards Fecto Elfilis while dodging enemies and crashing pieces of Popstar, being careful not to fall off the edges of buildings and roads.
In the middle of this phase, Kirby gets too close for comfort, so Fecto Elfilis opens two more star-shaped dimensional rifts and summons two meteors to launch towards Kirby. The B button must be mashed quickly in order to dodge the first meteor, and then Kirby has to jump towards Fecto Elfilis using the A Button, who then unleashes another meteor to repeat the B Button mashing. Elfilin will then provide support for Kirby, and both the Left Stick and the B button will have to be mashed in order to finally destroy this last meteor. In a last-ditch effort, Fecto Elfilis attempts to block the duo with a forcefield, but is overpowered and destroyed when Kirby rams into them.
After Fecto Elfilis's assumed defeat, Kirby and Elfilin end up back on Planet Popstar. The chaotic rift connected to the New World is too strong to stop on its own, so Elfilin uses all his strength to terminate the rift, creating a stable portal between Popstar and the new world.

Trivia
- Fecto Elfilis's specimen ID might be an easter egg referring to HAL Laboratory. Although the number "86" is pronounced "eight-six" in the Japanese version of The Dream Discoveries Tour, "86" can also be read as はる (haru) using goroawase, sounding like HAL.
- If Fecto Elfilis hits the small area with the communication dishes on the far edge of the battlefield with one of their attacks, it will crumble. This does not affect the fight in any way.
