Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana presents numerous boss encounters, but the initial challenge awaits players in the form of Dularn, The Creeping Shadow. This first boss fight often marks a significant difficulty increase, making it a true test of skill. It's common for players to require multiple attempts before succeeding. However, understanding Dularn's attack patterns significantly shortens the fight.

Conquering Dularn in Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana

Dularn begins the battle shrouded in a protective barrier, rendering him invulnerable. The key is to survive his attacks until the barrier dissipates, creating an opportunity to inflict damage. The boss's health pool varies based on the chosen difficulty. While players can retreat to regain strength, defeating Dularn is mandatory to progress. Direct contact with Dularn while his barrier is active results in player damage.

Dularn's Sword Attacks

Dularn unleashes various sword attacks:

• Descending swords: Multiple swords descend from above, striking towards the player.
• X-shaped assault: Swords form an X, then home in on the player's position.
• Linear thrust: A straight line of swords advances towards the player.

To evade these attacks, while the barrier is active, employ wide, circular movements around Dularn to dodge the first two attacks. Jumping is crucial as a secondary defensive measure. For the linear thrust, a well-timed jump just before impact is necessary. Once the barrier falls, unleash a flurry of attacks before Dularn teleports, reforming his barrier upon reappearance.

Dularn's Energy Blasts

Dularn employs two energy-based attacks:

• Fireball volley: A barrage of fireballs requires skillful maneuvering and jumping to avoid.
• Arching slash: A large, sweeping blue energy slash necessitates a jump to clear. This attack often precedes damage opportunities.

Mastering the attack patterns is key to victory; grinding for higher levels isn't necessary.
