Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana cleverly introduces bosses, gradually teaching players to master its mechanics. While not excessively long, the game presents a satisfying array of challenging encounters.

Initially, players might need some guidance, but Gyalva, the formidable Lord of the Blazing Prison, awaits those who've grasped 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)

After defeating Guilen, the Fire Eater, players progress through the Zone of Lava to face Gyalva. The key to victory is strategic positioning at either end of the bridge.

Movement is severely restricted, and the bridge platforms are constantly disrupted by Gyalva's attacks. The strategy involves repeatedly jumping to attack Gyalva and utilizing wind magic for maximum damage output in short bursts.

The Ys franchise consistently ranks among Nihon Falcom's best, and conquering bosses like Gyalva provides immense satisfaction.

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

While a remake of Ys 3, Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana features original bosses like Gyalva. Although the fight's core mechanics are straightforward, Gyalva inflicts significant damage quickly. The boss flies across the bridge, often launching sections into the air with fiery attacks.

Consider upgrading Adol's equipment before this encounter, aiming for at least level 21. This shouldn't be overly difficult if you've been consistently defeating smaller enemies.

Spinning Attacks

Gyalva employs two spinning attacks. The first affects a section of the bridge, sending those platforms airborne. The second covers the entire bridge, similarly tossing platforms. Both attacks are devastating to underleveled players.

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

Avoid the very end 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 launches fireballs onto the bridge, propelling platforms upward. This attack causes damage but also creates an opportunity to land several hits on Gyalva.

Bursting Torches

Torches along the bridge periodically erupt in flames as fireballs arc between them. These bursts inflict damage. While unpredictable, the area is safe once a burst concludes.
