Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana introduces players to a series of challenging boss battles, starting with Dularn, The Creeping Shadow. As the first significant hurdle in the game, Dularn can be a daunting opponent, often requiring multiple attempts to overcome. However, with the right strategy, players can swiftly conquer this boss.

How to Beat Dularn in Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana

Upon initiating the battle, Dularn will encase himself in a spherical barrier, rendering him invulnerable to attacks. The key during this phase is to focus on survival, dodging Dularn's onslaught until the barrier dissipates. Once the barrier is down, players can land several hits on Dularn. Note that his health varies based on the chosen difficulty level. If struggling, players can backtrack, but defeating Dularn is mandatory to progress.

It's crucial to avoid contact with Dularn while his barrier is active, as touching him will cause damage. Rushing in to attack during this phase is futile and will lead to defeat.

Dularn's Sword Attacks

Dularn employs multiple swords in his arsenal, each with distinct attack patterns:

• Overhead Strike: Swords appear above Dularn and then strike directly at the player.
• X-Shaped Attack: Swords form an X and home in on the player.
• Straight Line Thrust: Swords thrust in a straight line towards the player.

Dealing with these homing projectiles can be challenging. The best strategy while the barrier is up is to run in wide circles around Dularn to dodge the initial sword strikes. Jumping can serve as a secondary defense against these attacks. For the straight line thrust, timing a jump just before the swords connect is essential.

Once the barrier falls, Dularn becomes vulnerable to sword attacks. After taking damage, he teleports away, so players must keep their distance upon his reappearance to avoid his reforming barrier.

Dularn's Wave Blasts

Dularn's wave attacks include:

Fireballs

Players can navigate through these fireballs by moving between them or jumping over them. Combining movement with jumping ensures no damage is taken.

Arching Slash

Dularn's final attack is a large, gap-less blue slash that can only be avoided by jumping over it. These wave attacks often signal when Dularn is vulnerable, so use them as a cue to attack.

Mastering these patterns is key to defeating Dularn, as there's no need to grind levels to succeed.
