Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana presents numerous boss encounters, but the initial challenge, Dularn, the Creeping Shadow, often proves a significant hurdle for players. This first boss fight represents a substantial difficulty increase. While initially daunting, mastering Dularn's attack patterns allows for a relatively swift victory.

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

The fight begins with Dularn encased in a protective barrier. During this phase, attacking is futile; focus on evading his attacks until the barrier dissipates. Once the barrier drops, unleash a flurry of attacks. Dularn's health varies based on the selected difficulty. While you can retreat to regain strength, defeating Dularn is mandatory to progress.

Avoid contact with Dularn while his barrier is active, as it inflicts damage. Rushing in during this phase will likely result in defeat.

Dularn's Sword Attacks

Dularn summons swords in various attack patterns:

• Descending Swords: Swords descend from above, then strike towards the player.
• X-Formation: Swords form an X, then home in on the player.
• Linear Thrust: A straight line of swords thrusts towards the player.

To counter these attacks, while the barrier is up, strategically circle Dularn to evade the first two patterns. Jumping is crucial for avoiding all sword attacks.

Once Dularn's barrier falls, exploit his vulnerability. After taking significant damage, he teleports, re-establishing his barrier upon reappearance. Maintain distance to avoid damage.

Dularn's Projectile Attacks

Dularn employs two projectile attacks:

Fireballs

Evade the fireballs by moving between them or jumping over individual projectiles. Combining movement and jumping maximizes your chances of avoiding damage.

Arching Slash

This large blue slash is unavoidable except by jumping over it. This attack often precedes Dularn's vulnerability, signaling an opportunity to attack.

Understanding Dularn's attack patterns is key to victory; grinding levels isn't necessary.
