Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana cleverly introduces bosses, teaching players to master its mechanics through progressive challenges. While not overly long, the game offers a satisfying number of boss encounters.

Initially, players might need some guidance, but Gyalva, Lord of the Blazing Prison, arrives only after a solid grasp of combat, abilities, and game mechanics is established.

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.

Unlike previous battles, movement is severely restricted, with the bridge platforms constantly disrupted by Gyalva's attacks. The key is to repeatedly jump to Gyalva, utilizing wind magic for maximum damage output in short bursts.

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

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

While a remake of Ys 3, and part of the franchise's larger narrative, Gyalva is a new addition to the boss roster. Gyalva employs diverse attacks; although the fight's mechanics are straightforward, its damage potential is substantial. Gyalva moves across the bridge, often launching sections into the air with fiery assaults.

Significant upgrades to Adol before this fight are highly recommended. Aim for at least level 21; this is achievable through consistent enemy defeats throughout the game.

Spinning Attacks

Gyalva utilizes two spinning attacks. The first affects a bridge section, launching plates into the air. The second covers the entire bridge, similarly flipping the plates. Both can inflict devastating damage to underleveled players.

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

Avoid the very edge of the bridge to prevent being cornered. Instead, maneuver to strike Gyalva before retreating to a nearby ledge.

Fire Blast

Gyalva launches fireballs onto the bridge, propelling plates upward. 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, accompanied by a fireball traveling between them. This attack causes damage. While unpredictable, the area is safe once a burst concludes.
