Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana progressively introduces challenging bosses, encouraging players to master game mechanics. While not excessively long, the game features a satisfying number of boss encounters.

Gyalva, the formidable Lord of the Blazing Prison, presents a significant challenge, requiring a solid understanding of combat, abilities, and game mechanics.

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

• Boss Location: Zone of Lava, the Escapeless Abyss
• Boss Health: 1200 (Normal Difficulty)

Following the defeat of Guilen, the Fire Eater, players advance through the Zone of Lava to confront Gyalva. Strategically positioning yourself at either end of the bridge significantly simplifies this fight.

The limited movement options and the boss's disruptive attacks necessitate careful maneuvering. Players must repeatedly leap towards Gyalva, utilizing wind magic to maximize damage output within short bursts.

The Ys series consistently ranks among Nihon Falcom's finest, and conquering its bosses provides a deeply rewarding experience.

Gyalva's Attack Patterns in Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana

While a remake of Ys 3, Gyalva is a new addition to the series. This boss employs diverse tactics. Although the combat strategy is relatively straightforward, Gyalva can inflict substantial damage quickly. The boss will move across the bridge, frequently launching sections of it into the air with fiery attacks.

Significant character upgrades are recommended before attempting this battle. Aim for Adol to reach at least level 21. This should be achievable through consistent enemy engagement.

Spinning Attacks

Gyalva executes two variations of spinning attacks. The first involves traversing a section of the bridge, causing impacted platforms to launch upwards. The second sees Gyalva crossing the entire bridge, similarly disrupting the platforms. Both attacks pose a severe threat to under-leveled players.

To counter the first attack, quickly move to either side of the affected area. For the second, seek refuge on either ledge at the bridge's ends. Staying close to one side ensures a safe retreat.

Avoid the very edge of the bridge to prevent being cornered. Instead, strategically move along the bridge to attack Gyalva before retreating to the nearest ledge.

Fire Blast

Gyalva unleashes fireballs onto the bridge, launching platforms into the air. While this inflicts damage, it also provides an opportunity to land several attacks on the boss.

Exploding Torches

Torches along the bridge periodically erupt in flames, accompanied by a fireball traveling between them. These bursts cause damage, and their timing is unpredictable. Wait for the burst to subside before moving through the area.
