Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana presents several challenging boss encounters, but the initial clash with Dularn, the Creeping Shadow, often proves a significant hurdle for players. This first boss fight represents a notable difficulty spike, making multiple attempts common. However, understanding Dularn's attack patterns significantly shortens the battle.

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 a window to inflict damage. Dularn's health varies based on the chosen difficulty. While you can retreat and level up if needed, defeating Dularn is mandatory to progress. Avoid contact with Dularn while his barrier is active, as it inflicts damage.

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, then home in on the player's position.
• Linear Thrust: A straight line of swords charges towards the player.

To evade these attacks, while the barrier is up, circle Dularn widely. This provides space to dodge the first two attacks; however, jumping is crucial for additional protection. For the linear thrust, a well-timed jump is essential to avoid damage.

Once Dularn's barrier drops, unleash your attacks. He'll teleport after taking significant damage, reforming his barrier upon reappearance. Maintain distance to avoid damage.

Dularn's Projectile Attacks

Dularn employs two projectile attacks:

Fireballs

Dodge these by weaving through them or jumping over individual fireballs. Combining movement and jumping maximizes your chances of evading damage.

Arching Slash

This large, sweeping blue slash requires a jump to avoid entirely, as it leaves no safe gaps. Observe these attacks carefully, as they often precede opportunities to damage Dularn.

Mastering Dularn's attack patterns is key; grinding levels isn't necessary for victory.
