Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana presents several 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

The battle begins with Dularn encased 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 based on the chosen difficulty level. While you can retreat and level up, defeating Dularn is mandatory to progress.

Avoid contact with Dularn while his barrier is active; touching him inflicts damage. Attempting to attack during this phase will likely result in defeat.

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.

These homing attacks can be tricky. While the barrier is up, circling Dularn provides space to dodge the first two attacks. However, jumping is crucial for additional protection. The straight line requires a well-timed jump to avoid impact.

Once the barrier drops, unleash your attacks. Dularn teleports after taking significant damage. Maintain distance upon his reappearance, as he'll re-establish his barrier.

Dularn's Energy Blasts

Dularn employs two energy-based attacks:

Fireballs

Dodge these fireballs by moving between them or jumping over them. Combining movement and jumping maximizes evasion.

Arching Slash

This large blue energy slash is unavoidable except by jumping over it. This attack often precedes damage windows, signaling your opportunity to attack.

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