In Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana, players encounter a variety of challenging boss battles, with Dularn, The Creeping Shadow, marking the first significant test. Facing the initial boss often represents a sharp increase in difficulty, and Dularn exemplifies this challenge. He is the first substantial obstacle that players will face, and it's completely normal for it to take several tries before successfully defeating him. However, once players grasp his attack patterns, the battle can become manageable and even brief.

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

When the fight begins, Dularn will shield himself with a spherical barrier, making him invulnerable to any attacks. The key during this phase is to focus on survival, dodging his onslaught until the barrier dissipates. Once it does, players can seize the opportunity to land several hits on Dularn. The boss's health varies with the chosen difficulty level. If players find the fight too tough, they can backtrack to gain more experience, but remember, Dularn is a mandatory boss that must be defeated to progress.

It's crucial to avoid getting close to Dularn while his barrier is active, as contact with him will cause damage. Charging in prematurely will only lead to failure.

Dularn's Sword Attacks

Dularn utilizes multiple swords to attack players, each with unique patterns that must be understood and evaded:

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

Dealing with homing projectiles can be frustrating, but there's a strategy to manage them effectively. While the barrier is up, running in wide circles around Dularn helps dodge the initial two sword attacks. However, depending on the swords' positioning, players might still be at risk. Jumping as a secondary dodge mechanism is essential, especially for the straight line of swords, which requires a well-timed jump to avoid.

Once the barrier drops, Dularn becomes susceptible to attacks. After receiving damage, he teleports away. When he reappears, maintain a safe distance to avoid damage from his reforming barrier.

Dularn's Wave Blasts

Dularn can unleash two types of wave attacks:

Fireballs

Players can navigate through these fireballs by weaving between them or jumping over an incoming projectile. Combining movement with jumping ensures no damage is taken.

Arching Slash

Dularn's final attack is a large, continuous blue slash. There are no gaps to exploit, so jumping over it is the only way to avoid damage. These wave attacks often signal when Dularn's barrier is about to drop, providing a cue to rush in for damage.

The key to this boss fight is understanding and anticipating Dularn's patterns. There's no need to grind levels excessively to overcome him.
