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

Gyalva, the Lord of the Blazing Prison, presents a significant challenge, demanding a solid understanding of combat, abilities, and game mechanics.

How to Defeat 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 advance through the Zone of Lava to confront Gyalva. Strategically positioning yourself at either end of the bridge significantly simplifies this fight.

Due to limited movement options and the constantly shifting bridge platforms, the key is quick, impactful attacks. Utilize frequent jumps to reach Gyalva and unleash wind magic for maximum damage output within short bursts.

The Ys series consistently ranks among Nihon Falcom's best, and conquering bosses like Gyalva provides a rewarding sense of accomplishment.

Gyalva's Attack Patterns in Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana

While a remake of Ys 3, Gyalva is a new addition to the storyline. This boss employs diverse attacks that, while straightforward to understand, can inflict substantial damage quickly. Gyalva moves along the bridge, launching fiery attacks that disrupt the platforms.

Thorough character upgrades are recommended before engaging Gyalva. Aim for Adol to reach at least level 21 by consistently defeating minor enemies.

Spinning Attacks

Gyalva utilizes two spinning attacks. The first affects a portion of the bridge, sending sections airborne. The second involves a full-bridge traversal, causing widespread platform disruption. Both attacks are highly damaging to under-leveled players.

To counter the first, quickly move to the unaffected side. For the second, retreat to either bridge ledge. Avoid the very edge to prevent being cornered. Use this strategy to attack Gyalva before retreating to safety.

Fire Blast

Gyalva launches a fireball, launching bridge sections upward. While damaging, this attack creates an opening for multiple strikes against the boss.

Exploding Torches

Torches along the bridge periodically erupt in flames, accompanied by a fireball's trajectory between them. These bursts are unpredictable but provide safe passage once subsided.
