Dularn presents a significant early-game hurdle. Understanding his attack patterns is key to victory, rather than relying solely on grinding levels.

How to Beat Dularn

Dularn initially shields himself with a barrier, rendering him invulnerable. Focus on evading his attacks until the barrier dissipates, creating an opportunity to inflict damage. His health varies based on the difficulty setting. While you can backtrack if needed, defeating Dularn is mandatory to progress. Avoid contact with the barrier, as it inflicts damage.

Dularn's Sword Attacks

Dularn unleashes various sword attacks:

• Overhead Sword Strikes: Multiple swords descend from above.
• X-Shaped Assault: Swords form an X and home in on the player.
• Linear Sword Thrust: A straight line of swords charges forward.

To evade these attacks, employ a combination of wide circling and jumping. Circling helps avoid the first two attacks, while jumping is crucial for all three, especially the linear thrust.

Dularn's Wave Blasts

Dularn employs two projectile attacks:

• Fireballs: A volley of fireballs. Dodge these by moving strategically between them or jumping over individual projectiles.

• Arching Slash: A large, sweeping blue slash. Jumping is the only effective countermeasure.

These wave attacks often precede Dularn's vulnerability window, signaling your chance to attack.

Rewards

Defeating Dularn grants access to the Ignis Bracelet, a magical bracelet enabling fireball attacks, a valuable asset for the remainder of the game.
