Conquering Gyalva in Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana
Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana progressively challenges players, enhancing their understanding of game mechanics. While not excessively long, it features several demanding boss encounters. Gyalva, Lord of the Blazing Prison, tests players' mastery of combat, abilities, and game mechanics.
Defeating Gyalva: A Strategic Approach
- Location: Zone of Lava, the Escapeless Abyss
- Health (Normal): 1200
Following Guilen's defeat, players navigate the Zone of Lava to face Gyalva. The key to victory lies in strategic positioning at either bridge end.
Limited movement options and the boss's volatile attacks necessitate careful maneuvering. Players should repeatedly jump to engage Gyalva, utilizing wind magic for swift, high-damage bursts.
Understanding Gyalva's Attacks
Gyalva, a unique boss not present in the original Ys III, employs diverse attacks capable of inflicting substantial damage. He traverses the bridge, disrupting platforms with fiery assaults. Adequate character leveling (aim for Level 21) and equipment upgrades are crucial for success.
Spinning Attacks
Gyalva executes two spinning attacks: a localized attack targeting a bridge section, and a full-bridge traversal. The first requires lateral movement to avoid airborne platforms; the second necessitates retreating to a bridge ledge. Avoid the very edge to prevent being cornered.
Fire Blast
Gyalva launches fireballs, launching platforms upward. While damaging, this provides an opportunity for counterattacks.
Bursting Torches
Torches along the bridge periodically erupt in flames, accompanied by a fireball exchange. These bursts are unpredictable but offer brief periods of safe passage.
