Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana – How to Beat Gyalva

Conquering Gyalva in Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana

Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana progressively introduces challenging bosses, enhancing player mastery of mechanics. Gyalva, the Lord of the Blazing Prison, presents a significant hurdle, demanding proficiency in combat, abilities, and game mechanics.

Defeating Gyalva: A Strategic Approach

• Location: Zone of Lava, the Escapeless Abyss
• Health (Normal): 1200

Following Guilen's defeat, players encounter Gyalva. The key to victory lies in strategic positioning at either bridge end. Limited movement options and the boss's volatile attacks necessitate precise maneuvering. Utilize frequent jumps to reach Gyalva and unleash powerful wind magic for maximum damage output.

Understanding Gyalva's Attacks

While a remake of Ys 3, Gyalva is a new addition. His attacks, though seemingly straightforward, inflict substantial damage if unprepared. He traverses the bridge, disrupting platforms with fiery assaults. Leveling up Adol (aim for level 21) and upgrading equipment significantly improves survivability.

Spinning Attacks (Two Variations)

Gyalva employs two spinning attacks:

1. Partial Bridge Spin: He sweeps across a bridge section, launching plates into the air. Evade by moving to the unaffected side.
2. Full Bridge Spin: A straight-line traversal across the entire bridge, flipping all platforms. Seek refuge on either ledge. Avoid the very edge to prevent cornering.

Fire Blast

Gyalva unleashes fireballs, disrupting platforms and inflicting damage. This attack, however, presents an opportunity to land several strikes before retreating.

Bursting Torches

Torches along the bridge periodically erupt in flames, accompanied by fireball transfers. These bursts are unpredictable but provide brief windows for safe passage.

By mastering these strategies and adequately preparing Adol, players can triumph over Gyalva and continue their journey through Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana.
