Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana presents numerous challenging boss encounters, but the initial clash against Dularn, the Creeping Shadow, often proves a significant hurdle for players. This first boss fight represents a considerable difficulty spike.

He's the first true test of skill, and multiple attempts are common before victory. However, understanding his attack patterns significantly shortens the fight.

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

The fight begins with Dularn encased in a spherical barrier, rendering him invulnerable. The key is surviving his attacks until the barrier dissipates, creating a brief window to inflict damage. Dularn's health varies based on the chosen difficulty. While you can retreat to gain strength, defeating Dularn is mandatory to progress.

Avoid contact with Dularn while his barrier is active; touching him inflicts damage. Rushing in during this phase guarantees defeat.

Dularn's Sword Attacks

Dularn unleashes various sword attacks:

• A volley of swords descending from above.
• An X-shaped formation of swords homing in on the player.
• A straight line of swords thrust towards the player.

These homing attacks can be challenging. While the barrier is up, circle Dularn widely to dodge the first two attacks. Jumping is crucial as a secondary evasion method for all sword attacks, especially the straight line assault.

Once the barrier drops, unleash your attacks. Dularn teleports after taking significant damage. Maintain distance upon his reappearance, as he'll restore the barrier and inflict damage if you're too close.

Dularn's Energy Blasts

Dularn employs two projectile attacks:

Fireballs

Dodge these fireballs by weaving through them or jumping over them. Combine movement with jumps for optimal evasion.

Arcing Slash

This large blue slash requires a precise jump to avoid; there are no gaps. This attack often precedes damage windows, serving as a signal to attack Dularn.

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