Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana presents numerous 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 substantial difficulty spike, making multiple attempts common. However, understanding Dularn's attack patterns makes this fight significantly easier.

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

The fight begins with Dularn encased in a protective barrier, rendering him invulnerable. The key is to survive his attacks until the barrier dissipates, creating an opportunity to inflict damage. Dularn's health varies based on the chosen difficulty setting. While players can retreat to gain strength, defeating Dularn is mandatory to progress. Avoid contact with Dularn while his barrier is active, as it inflicts damage.

Dularn's Sword Attacks

Dularn employs various sword attacks:

• Descending Swords: Multiple 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 lunges towards the player.

To evade these attacks, circle Dularn widely while the barrier is up, providing space to dodge the first two attacks. Jumping is crucial for avoiding all sword attacks, especially the linear thrust.

Dularn's Projectile Attacks

Dularn unleashes two types of projectiles:

• Fireballs: A volley of fireballs. Dodge these by moving between them or jumping over them.
• Arcing Slash: A large, sweeping blue slash. Jumping is the only effective counter.

These projectile attacks often precede Dularn's vulnerability, signaling the chance to deal damage.

The most effective strategy is to master Dularn's attack patterns; grinding levels isn't necessary for victory.
