Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana presents a series of thrilling boss battles, with Dularn, The Creeping Shadow, marking the first significant challenge players will encounter. As the initial boss, Dularn often poses a steep difficulty curve, yet with the right strategies, players can swiftly overcome this hurdle.

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

At the onset of the battle, Dularn envelops himself in a spherical barrier, rendering him invulnerable to any attacks. The key during this phase is to focus on survival, dodging his onslaught until the barrier dissipates. Once it drops, players can land several hits on Dularn. Note that his health varies with the chosen difficulty level. Should players struggle, they can backtrack for more preparation, but remember, 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. Recklessly attacking him during this time is futile and will likely lead to defeat.

Dularn's Sword Attacks

Dularn employs multiple swords to assault the player, each with distinct attack patterns that players must learn to evade effectively.

• He summons swords that hover above him before striking down at the player.
• He forms an X-shaped pattern with the swords, which then home in on the player.
• He thrusts a straight line of swords directly at the player.

Dealing with homing projectiles can be challenging, but a simple strategy can help. While Dularn's barrier is up, run in wide circles around him to dodge the initial two sword strikes. Jumping can serve as an additional evasion tactic, especially useful against the straight line of swords, which requires a well-timed jump to avoid.

Once the barrier falls, Dularn becomes susceptible to sword attacks. After taking damage, he teleports away, so maintain your distance upon his reappearance to avoid damage from his reforming barrier.

Dularn's Wave Blasts

Dularn unleashes two types of wave attacks: a volley of fireballs and a large arching slash.

Fireballs

To navigate through the fireballs, players can either weave between them or jump over incoming ones. Combining movement with jumping ensures no damage is taken.

Arching Slash

The arching slash, a large blue wave, leaves no gaps for evasion; jumping over it is the only way to avoid damage. These wave attacks signal when Dularn is about to become vulnerable, so use them as cues to launch your offensive.

Mastering Dularn's attack patterns is key to victory; there's no need to grind levels to beat him.
