Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana presents numerous boss encounters, but your first formidable opponent will be Dularn, The Creeping Shadow. This initial boss fight often represents a significant difficulty spike for players.
He's the first true challenge, and multiple attempts are common. However, understanding his attack patterns makes this a relatively short fight.
How to Conquer Dularn in Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana
The fight begins with Dularn encased in a protective barrier. You can't damage him until it dissipates, so focus on evasion. Once the barrier drops, unleash a flurry of attacks. Dularn's health varies with difficulty; if you're struggling, consider revisiting earlier areas, but defeating him is mandatory.
Avoid close contact while the barrier is active; touching him inflicts damage. Rushing him while shielded guarantees defeat.
Dularn's Sword Attacks
Dularn summons swords in various attack patterns:
- Descending swords: A volley of swords falling from above.
- X-shaped assault: Swords forming an X before homing in.
- Linear thrust: A straight line of swords aimed at the player.
These homing attacks can be tricky. While the barrier is up, circle Dularn widely to evade the first two attacks. Jumping is crucial as a secondary defense. For the linear thrust, time your jump precisely to avoid contact.
Exploit the brief window of vulnerability after the barrier drops. Each attack barrage will trigger Dularn's teleportation. Maintain distance upon his reappearance, as he'll restore the barrier and inflict damage if you're too close.
Dularn's Energy Blasts
Dularn unleashes two projectile attacks:
- Fireballs: Dodge these by moving between them or jumping over individual projectiles. Combine movement and jumps for optimal evasion.
- Arcing Slash: A large, unavoidable blue slash. Jumping is the only way to avoid it. This attack often precedes his vulnerability, signaling your opportunity to attack.
Mastering Dularn's attack patterns is key; grinding levels isn't necessary.
