Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana presents several challenging boss encounters, but the initial showdown with Dularn, The Creeping Shadow, often proves a significant hurdle for players. This first boss fight represents a notable difficulty spike, making it a true test of skill.

Overcoming Dularn can require multiple attempts, but understanding his attack patterns significantly shortens the battle.

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

Dularn begins the fight encased in a protective energy barrier, rendering him invulnerable. The key is to survive his attacks until the barrier dissipates, creating a window of opportunity to inflict damage. Dularn's health varies based on the selected difficulty level. While you can temporarily retreat if struggling, defeating Dularn is mandatory to progress.

Avoid contact with Dularn while his barrier is active, as it will inflict damage. Attempting to attack him during this phase is futile.

Dularn's Sword Attacks

Dularn unleashes various sword attacks:

• Overhead Assault: Swords descend from above, striking directly at the player.
• X-Formation: Swords form an X-shape before homing in on the player.
• Linear Thrust: A straight line of swords charges towards the player.

To evade these attacks, utilize a combination of wide circling movements and precise jumps. Circling helps dodge the first two attacks, while jumping is crucial for avoiding the linear thrust and any stray swords.

Dularn's Energy Blasts

Dularn employs two types of energy blasts:

• Fireball Volley: A barrage of fireballs requires skillful maneuvering and jumping to avoid.
• Arcing Slash: A large, sweeping blue energy slash necessitates a precise jump to clear.

These attacks often precede Dularn's vulnerability window, signaling your chance to deal damage.

The key to victory lies in mastering Dularn's attack patterns. Level grinding isn't necessary; strategic dodging and timing are paramount.
