Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana – How to Beat Gyalva

Conquering Gyalva in Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana

Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana progressively introduces challenging bosses, enhancing player skill mastery. While not excessively long, the game features several formidable encounters. Gyalva, Lord of the Blazing Prison, requires a solid understanding of combat, abilities, and game mechanics.

Defeating Gyalva: A Strategic Approach

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

Following Guilen's defeat, players navigate the Zone of Lava to confront Gyalva. The key to victory lies in strategic positioning at either bridge end.

Due to limited movement options and the boss's bridge-disrupting attacks, players must utilize quick bursts of offense. Jump to Gyalva, unleash wind magic for maximum damage, and retreat swiftly. Mastering this hit-and-run tactic is crucial.

Understanding Gyalva's Attacks

Gyalva, a unique boss absent from the original Ys III, possesses diverse attacks capable of inflicting significant damage. He maneuvers across the bridge, disrupting platforms with fiery assaults. Sufficient character upgrades (aim for level 21) and improved equipment are highly recommended.

Spinning Attacks

Gyalva employs two spinning attacks: a localized attack affecting a bridge section and a full-bridge sweep. The localized attack requires lateral movement to avoid the airborne platforms. The full sweep necessitates retreating to a bridge ledge. Avoid cornering yourself; maintain mobility.

Fire Blast

Gyalva launches fireballs, launching platforms skyward. While damaging, this attack presents an opportunity to land several strikes before retreating.

Bursting Torches

Torches along the bridge sporadically erupt in flames, accompanied by a fireball's trajectory between them. Timing is key to avoid these unpredictable bursts.

By mastering these strategies and preparing adequately, players can successfully overcome Gyalva and continue their journey through Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana.
