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 notable difficulty spike.
He's the first true test, 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 encased in a protective barrier. Attacks are ineffective during this phase; focus on evading his attacks until the barrier dissipates. Once the barrier drops, unleash a series of attacks. Dularn's health varies based on the chosen difficulty. While backtracking is possible if struggling, defeating Dularn is mandatory to progress.
Avoid proximity to Dularn while his barrier is active, as contact inflicts damage. Rushing in during this phase guarantees defeat.
Dularn's Sword Attacks
Dularn summons multiple swords in various attack patterns:
- Descending swords that strike directly downward.
- 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. Jumping is crucial as a secondary evasion method. For the straight line attack, a well-timed jump is essential.
Exploit the moments when Dularn's barrier falls to inflict damage. He teleports after taking significant damage. Maintain distance upon his reappearance, as he'll reform the barrier and inflict damage if too close.
Dularn's Energy Blasts
Dularn unleashes two types of projectile attacks:
Fireballs
Evade fireballs by moving between them or jumping over incoming projectiles. Combining movement and jumping maximizes evasion.
Arcing 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 Dularn's attack patterns is key; grinding levels isn't necessary for victory.
