Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana presents several challenging boss encounters, but the initial confrontation with Dularn, the Creeping Shadow, often proves a significant hurdle for players. This first boss fight represents a notable difficulty spike.
This encounter is the first real test of skill, and multiple attempts are common before players achieve victory. However, understanding Dularn's attack patterns significantly shortens the fight.
How to Defeat Dularn in Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana
The fight begins with Dularn encased in a protective barrier, rendering him invulnerable. The key is to survive his attacks until the barrier dissipates, creating an opportunity to inflict damage. Dularn's health varies based on the selected difficulty level. While players can retreat to gain strength, defeating Dularn is mandatory to progress.
Avoid proximity to Dularn while his barrier is active, as contact inflicts damage. Attempting to attack during this phase will likely result in defeat.
Dularn's Sword Attacks
Dularn unleashes various sword attacks:
- Descending swords that strike directly at the player.
- Swords forming an X-shape before homing in on the player.
- A straight line of thrusting swords.
These homing projectiles can be challenging. The best strategy during the barrier phase is to circle Dularn widely, providing ample space to dodge the first two attacks. However, depending on sword positioning, jumping is crucial for additional avoidance. The straight line attack necessitates a well-timed jump to evade.
Once Dularn's barrier drops, he becomes vulnerable. Each successful attack barrage causes him to teleport. Maintain distance upon his reappearance, as he will re-establish the barrier and inflict damage if approached.
Dularn's Energy Blasts
Dularn employs two energy-based attacks: fireballs and an arching slash.
Fireballs
Dodge these fireballs by moving between them or jumping over incoming projectiles. Combining movement and jumping maximizes evasion.
Arching Slash
This large blue slash is unavoidable except by jumping over it. This attack often precedes opportunities to damage Dularn, serving as a cue to attack.
Mastering the attack patterns is key to victory; grinding levels isn't necessary.
