A Metaball inside Batmo Cave

Metaballs are traps and interactable objects in Sword of Mana.

Metaballs are round, metallic spheres that obstruct the hero's path in caves and dungeons and need to be destroyed in order to enable progression. They can deal damage to the player character should they come too close, but melt away once they are striken with the correct physical attack. Metaballs come in three different types.

• Slash Metaballs will sprout curvy blades and spin on itself to attack the main character. They a defeated by using either the sword, the sickle, or the axe.
• Bash Metaballs will create four legs and violently push the hero away when interacted. A strike with the staff, knucks, or the morning star will break it apart.
• Jab Metaballs use spikes to prick unsuspecting travelers. They vanish once they are attacked with a bow, a flail, or a lance.

Trivia

• The player can learn about Metaballs after speaking with Niccolo before entering Batmo Cave for the first time. It will become entry no.17 in Popoi's Notebook.
