Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana presents numerous boss encounters, but the initial challenge awaits players in the form of Dularn, The Creeping Shadow. This first boss fight often represents a significant difficulty spike. He's the first real test of skill, and multiple attempts are common before victory. However, understanding his attack patterns significantly shortens the fight.
How to Defeat Dularn in Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana
Dularn initially surrounds himself with a protective barrier, rendering him invulnerable. The key is to survive his attacks until the barrier dissipates, creating an opportunity to inflict damage. His health varies based on the chosen difficulty. While you can retreat to gain strength, defeating Dularn is mandatory to progress.
Avoid contact with Dularn while his barrier is active; touching him results in damage. Rushing in during this phase guarantees defeat.
Dularn's Sword Attacks
Dularn unleashes various sword attacks:
- Overhead Assault: Swords descend from above, striking downwards.
- X-Formation: Swords form an X, then home in on the player.
- Linear Thrust: A straight line of swords charges forward.
To counter these, maintain a wide circular movement around Dularn while the barrier is up. This helps evade the first two attacks, but jumping is crucial for additional protection. The linear thrust requires precise timing—jump just before impact. Exploit the barrier's downtime to unleash your attacks; he'll teleport after taking significant damage. Maintain distance upon his reappearance to avoid the reformed barrier.
Dularn's Projectile Attacks
Dularn employs two projectile attacks:
Fireballs
Dodge these fireballs by weaving through them or jumping over individual projectiles. Combine movement and jumping for optimal evasion.
Arching Slash
This large blue slash is unavoidable except by jumping over it. This attack often precedes damage windows, signaling your chance to attack.
Mastering Dularn's attack patterns is key; grinding levels isn't necessary.
