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

Initially, players might need some guidance, but Gyalva, Lord of the Blazing Prison, presents a significant challenge, demanding a solid understanding of combat, abilities, and game mechanics.

How to Beat 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 progress through the Zone of Lava to face Gyalva. Strategically fighting from either end of the bridge significantly simplifies this encounter.

Movement is severely restricted during this fight, with the bridge platforms constantly disrupted by Gyalva's attacks. The key is to repeatedly jump to Gyalva, utilizing wind magic to maximize damage output within short bursts.

The Ys franchise consistently ranks among Nihon Falcom's best, and conquering bosses like Gyalva provides a truly rewarding experience.

Gyalva’s List of Attacks in Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana

While a remake of Ys 3, and part of the franchise's overarching narrative, Gyalva is a new boss addition. Gyalva possesses a diverse arsenal; while the fight itself is relatively straightforward, its attacks can inflict substantial damage quickly. Gyalva moves around the bridge, often launching sections of it into the air with fiery attacks.

Consider upgrading Adol significantly before this fight, aiming for at least level 21. This shouldn't be an excessive grind if you've been consistently defeating smaller enemies.

Spinning Attacks

Gyalva employs two variations of spinning attacks. The first involves passing over a section of the bridge, causing affected platforms to spin into the air. The second sees Gyalva flying across the entire bridge, similarly flipping platforms. Both attacks can severely deplete health if under-leveled.

To avoid the first attack, quickly move to either side of the affected area. For the second, the only safe position is on either ledge at the bridge's ends. Staying close to one side ensures a safe retreat to the edge.

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

Fire Blast

Gyalva launches a fireball onto the bridge, launching platforms into the air. This attack inflicts damage but also provides an opportunity to land several hits on Gyalva.

Bursting Torches

Torches along the bridge periodically erupt in flames, with fireballs arcing between them. These bursts inflict damage. While unpredictable, the period after a burst provides a safe window to move.
