Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana presents numerous 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 considerable difficulty spike.
He's the first true 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
The fight begins with Dularn enshrouded in a spherical barrier, rendering him invulnerable. The key is to survive his attacks until the barrier dissipates, creating a brief window to inflict damage. Dularn's health varies based on the chosen difficulty. While backtracking is possible, defeating Dularn is mandatory to progress.
Avoid proximity to Dularn while his barrier is active; contact inflicts damage. Attempting to attack during this phase guarantees defeat.
Dularn's Sword Attacks
Dularn summons swords in various attack patterns:
- A descending volley of swords striking directly at the player.
- Swords forming an X-shape before homing in on the player.
- A straight line of swords thrust towards the player.
These homing attacks can be tricky. While the barrier is up, circling Dularn provides space to dodge the first two sword attacks. However, jumping is crucial as a secondary evasion method. The straight line attack requires a well-timed jump for avoidance.
Exploit the moments when Dularn's barrier drops to unleash a flurry of attacks. He teleports after taking significant damage. Maintain distance upon his reappearance, as he'll restore the barrier and inflict damage if approached.
Dularn's Projectile Attacks
Dularn employs two projectile attacks:
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. These attacks often precede vulnerability windows, signaling opportunities to damage Dularn.
Mastering Dularn's attack patterns is key to victory; grinding levels isn't necessary.
