Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana progressively challenges players, teaching them effective combat strategies and mechanic utilization. While not excessively long, the game presents a satisfying number of boss encounters.

Gyalva, the formidable Lord of the Blazing Prison, appears later in the game, demanding a solid understanding of combat, abilities, and game mechanics.

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

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

Following Guilen, the Fire Eater, players will navigate the Zone of Lava to confront Gyalva. The key to victory is strategic positioning at either end of the bridge.

Movement is severely restricted, and the bridge's platforms are constantly disrupted by Gyalva's attacks. Players must repeatedly leap towards Gyalva, utilizing wind magic for maximum damage output within limited timeframes.

The Ys series is renowned within Nihon Falcom's catalog, and conquering its bosses delivers a profound sense of accomplishment.

Gyalva's Attack Patterns in Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana

While a remake of Ys 3, Gyalva is a new addition to the boss roster. Gyalva employs diverse attacks; although the fight is straightforward, its rapid damage potential necessitates preparation. Gyalva moves across the bridge, often launching sections into the air with fiery attacks.

Significant character upgrades (Adol) are recommended before this encounter; aiming for level 21 is advisable. Consistent enemy defeat throughout the game will ease this leveling process.

Spinning Attacks

Gyalva employs two spinning attacks. The first targets a bridge section, flinging platforms into the air. The second involves a full-bridge traversal, similarly disrupting platforms. Both attacks inflict substantial damage on under-leveled players.

To counter the first, move to the unaffected bridge sides. For the second, retreat to either ledge at the bridge's ends. Maintaining proximity to one side ensures a safe escape route.

Avoid the bridge's very edge to prevent cornering. Instead, strategically attack Gyalva before retreating to the nearest ledge.

Fire Blast

Gyalva launches fireballs onto the bridge, launching platforms upward. This attack inflicts damage but also provides an opportunity to land several hits.

Bursting Torches

Torches along the bridge periodically erupt in flames, accompanied by fireball transfers. These bursts inflict damage, and their timing is unpredictable. Wait for a burst to subside before moving.
