Ys Memoire Boss Guide: Defeating Dularn

Quick Links

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 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 begins the battle shrouded in a protective barrier, rendering him invulnerable. The key is to survive his attacks until the barrier dissipates, creating a window for damage. Dularn's health varies depending on the chosen difficulty. While you can backtrack and level up, defeating Dularn is mandatory.

Avoid contact with Dularn while his barrier is active, as it inflicts damage. Attempting to attack during this phase guarantees failure.

Dularn's Sword Attacks

Dularn unleashes various sword attacks:

  • A volley of swords descending from above.
  • An X-shaped formation of swords homing in on the player.
  • A straight line of swords thrust towards the player.

To evade these, utilize a combination of wide circling and jumping. Circling helps avoid the initial two sword attacks, while jumping is crucial for the descending and straight-line attacks.

During Dularn's vulnerability phase (barrier down), unleash a flurry of attacks. He'll teleport after taking significant damage. Maintain distance upon his reappearance, as he'll re-establish his barrier.

Dularn's Energy Blasts

Dularn employs two projectile attacks:

Fireballs

Dodge these fireballs by strategically moving between them or jumping over them. Combine movement and jumping for optimal evasion.

Arcing Slash

This large blue slash requires a precise jump to avoid. This attack often precedes Dularn's vulnerability phase, signaling your opportunity to attack.

Mastering Dularn's attack patterns is key to victory; grinding levels isn't necessary.

Rewards for Vanquishing Dularn in Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana

Defeating Dularn grants access to the Ignis Bracelet, a magical bracelet enabling fireball attacks, becoming a valuable asset throughout the game.
