In Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana, players encounter a formidable challenge right from the start with the first boss, Dularn, known as The Creeping Shadow. Facing the initial boss can often feel like a steep climb in difficulty, and Dularn exemplifies this perfectly. It's common for players to need several attempts to overcome him, but with the right strategies, this battle can become much more manageable.

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

As soon as the battle begins, Dularn envelops himself in a spherical barrier, rendering him impervious to attacks. Your goal during this phase is to survive his onslaught until the barrier dissipates. Once it does, you'll have a window to land multiple hits on him. Remember, Dularn's health varies with the chosen difficulty level. If you're struggling, consider backtracking to level up or gather resources, though defeating Dularn is unavoidable for progression.

It's crucial to keep your distance when Dularn's barrier is active, as contact with him will damage you. Charging in to attack him prematurely will only lead to frustration and defeat.

Dularn's Sword Attacks

Dularn employs various sword-based attacks that you need to be aware of to survive:

• He summons swords that hover above him before plunging down towards you.
• He forms swords into an X-shape that homes in on your position.
• He thrusts a straight line of swords directly at you.

Dealing with homing projectiles can be tricky, but a good tactic is to run in wide circles around Dularn when his barrier is up. This movement allows you to dodge the initial two sword strikes effectively. For the X-shaped swords, jumping as they approach adds an extra layer of safety. To evade the straight line of swords, time your jump just before they hit.

Once Dularn's barrier falls, he becomes vulnerable to your attacks. Be prepared for him to teleport away after taking significant damage. Keep your distance when he reappears to avoid being caught by his reforming barrier.

Dularn's Wave Blasts

Dularn also unleashes two types of wave attacks:

Fireballs

You can maneuver through these fireballs by weaving between them or jumping over approaching ones. Combining movement with timely jumps ensures you remain unscathed.

Arching Slash

This attack consists of a large blue slash with no gaps, necessitating a jump to avoid it. These wave attacks often signal when Dularn's barrier is about to drop, so use them as cues to prepare for your offensive.

The key to mastering this fight is understanding Dularn's attack patterns. There's no need to grind levels excessively; focus on learning his moves instead.
