Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana presents several challenging boss encounters, but the initial showdown with Dularn, The Creeping Shadow, often proves a significant hurdle for players. This first boss fight represents a notable difficulty increase, making it a true test of skill. Many players require multiple attempts to overcome this obstacle. However, understanding Dularn's attack patterns simplifies the battle considerably.

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

The fight begins with Dularn encased in a protective barrier, rendering him invulnerable. The key is to survive his attacks until the barrier dissipates, creating an opening for damage. The boss's health varies based on the chosen difficulty setting. While players can retreat to gain strength, defeating Dularn is mandatory to progress.

Avoid contact with Dularn while his barrier is active, as it inflicts damage. Attempting to attack during this phase will likely result in defeat.

Dularn's Sword Attacks

Dularn unleashes various sword attacks:

• Descending swords that rain down from above.
• Swords forming an X-shape before homing in on the player.
• A straight line of thrusting swords.

To counter these, strategically circle Dularn while his barrier is up to evade the first two attacks. Jumping is crucial for avoiding all three attacks. For the straight line attack, precise timing is necessary to jump just before impact.

Once the barrier drops, unleash a flurry of attacks. Dularn will teleport after taking significant damage. Maintain distance upon his reappearance, as he will re-establish his barrier.

Dularn's Energy Blasts

Dularn employs two energy-based attacks:

Fireballs

Dodge these fireballs by weaving between them or jumping over individual projectiles. Combining movement and jumps maximizes evasion.

Arcing Slash

This large, sweeping blue slash requires a jump to avoid completely, as there are no gaps in its trajectory. This attack often precedes Dularn's vulnerability, signaling an opportunity to attack.

Mastering Dularn's attack patterns is key; grinding for higher levels isn't necessary.
