Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana - Walkthrough


By following this guide, you will get all in the game, plus earn all trophies. 

During your first run, you might want to spare Raval Ore until you complete all quests that requires them (last one being the one in the shop for 1000 Raval Ore). After that you can spend them, although it's easy to farm them near the end of the game.

Note - Speed up

Remember, by pressing R3 two times, you can increase speed up to x2, which is neat for completing the game on all difficulties.

Missables

  • Monster Encyclopedia entry No. 2. Required for Monster Researcher.    
    Available from start of game, until after Illburns Ruins / Zone of Lava.
    Kill the enemy at the beginning of the game. It is a flower and spawns in the overworld.
  • Monster Encyclopedia entries No. 22 and 23. Required for Monster Researcher.
    These enemies will replace entry No. 1 and 2 after Zone of Lava. They will be replaced by enemies from the final dungeon after the Clock Tower.
    After Zone of Lava, hunt down both enemies in the overworld.
  • The item Augite Brooch. Required for Item Collector.    
    After Zone of Lava, before Abandoned Mine.  
    After Zone of Lava, do the quest described in Shining Example.
  • The trophy Shining Example.
    Same as above entry.
  • The trophy Together Once in a While.
    After completing Abandoned Mine, before Elderm Mountains.
  • The item Talisman of War. Required for Item Collector.    
    The reason it is missable is because it is obtained by giving the item Jade Ring to Randolph. If you talk to Cynthia while in possession of this item, she will offer to buy it. If you accept, you will no longer be able to obtain the Talisman of War.    
    The Jade Ring is obtained by trading Raval Ore with Antonio three times. When you have the ring, talk to Randolph at the inn. The trade can be made after the Abandoned Mine.

If you miss something on the above list, it is not a big deal, as the platinum requires six complete playthroughs. Keep in mind that the equipment upgrade trophies can only be earned on NG+, as this increases the level cap.

After a short climb, you will start going east. There will be a place where you can fall down to the south to a lower area containing a chest with Raval Ore x90. It's the screen before the one with the cave.

Climb the back up, then continue the path into the cave. Keep going for a good bit, then move to the east for a chest containing Raval Ore x50.

Head back west and continue along the path all the way west. Pick up the plant - Berm Leaves.

Continue to the next room. Climb to the highest point, then double jump + wind west to reach a chest with Raval Ore x70.

Ligaty is a triple boss, although there is a single health bar. The three bosses are each weak to one attack type while being immune/resistant to the rest. The green Ligaty is weak to wind, while the red Ligaty is weak to fire. The blue Ligaty, however, can only be damaged with physical attacks. I suggest you get rid od fire and wind birds first, then finish the blue one with boost. You will unlock The Three Flying Succubi trophy for winning.

After the fight, head east until you reach a cabin, then enter. Watch the scene. Berhardt will be added to Character Encyclopedia. Leave the building and head east.

Go east to the next area. When you reach a split where you can fall down, do so and head north to find another plant - Berm Leaves.

Climb up to the top, then fall down on the south-western side just before you enter the cave. Jump off the edge and glide to the chest with Katol Elixir.

Head all the way east, then smash the wall with earth magic. Enter to find a Save Point and a chest with Topaz.

Leave the cave and take the stairs up to a breakable wall. Enter the hole. Head east, then fall down near the slippery ground. Head all the way west taking the lower path. Earth magic can be used to climb slopes. Enter the cave to find a chest with Stone Shoes.
This accessory prevents you from sliding.

Equip the shoes, then backtrack and take the upper path all the way. After exiting the cave, carefully climb your way east without falling down to find a chest with Raval Ore x140.

Walk off the cliff directly south from the chest and follow the path east into the next room. Keep going and you will eventually find a hole you need to jump over. Instead, fall down hugging the west wall to find a chest with Raval Ore x120.

Jump down, then follow the path all the way down to the next room. Immediately climb up and follow the path until a breakable wall. Destroy it, then enter the room. Follow the path until you find a chest with Raval Ore x140.

Backtrack out of the cave, then exit to the south. Keep following the path a long way until you can see a path blocked by icicles above you a bit further (after the bottom spiked floor). Destroy the icicles with earth or fire to find a chest with Katol Elixir.

Keep following the path to enter the Icebound Cave.

Icebound Cave

Enter to unlock Icebound Cave trophy.

Follow the path, use the Save point. Prepare for a boss, then continue.

To damage Gildias, you will first need to attack its feet with earth magic. This will cause it to trip, allowing you a brief opportunity to attack the head. Gildias will use multiple attacks that spawn icicles. These icicles can be destroyed and blocked with earth magic. In the latter half of the battle, Gildias may grab you. This will place you in a short scene where Adol is falling. Use earth magic just before Adol hits the oncoming rocks to avoid taking damage. My suggestion is to double jump where he tries to grab you from the side, do it twice to avoid this falling sequence. Beating the boss unlocks Guardian of the Icy Depths trophy. You will also get Light Statue.

Backtrack to the sealed cave entrance and use the Terra Bracelet on the rubble. Watch the cutscenes.

Upgrade your equipment if needed. Make sure you have entries No. 22 - Queguff and No. 23 - Deriez filled out in the Monster Encyclopedia, as these enemies will stop spawning after the next dungeon.

We now have all movement skills, time for clean-up. Fast travel to Illburns Ruins.

Illburn Ruins

Head to the unlit torch from the entrance (couple of screens) you previously ignored. Light it, then follow the unlocked path to find a room with a chest for Raval Ore x20.

Leave the room then continue the main path until you find a breakable wall, it's outside, couple of screens to the east. Break the wall with earth magic, then enter. Ignore the enemies, as you can't kill them yet (an item found in the final dungeon is required to prevent them from resurrecting) and run to the chest for a Spirit Cape. This accessory lets you regenerate HP while standing still. Neat!

Fast travel to the final Save Point of Zone of Lava (still in here, Topside save point) before the enemies kill you.

Zone of Lava

Head west to the previous room. Double jump up the cliff to the north, then follow the path into a cave containing a chest with Katol Elixir.

Head all the way up the stairs and jump across the gap to enter a room at the top. Watch the scene. Talk to Alice to receive Ivory Key.

Leave the room then jump down the hole to the bottom. At the bottom, head west. Climb your way up the trap filled walls to find a chest with Battle Armor.

Head all the way west to find a Save Point, and save. Head north for a boss.

As the battle progresses, Death Faleon will change colour. To deal damage you will have use a specific attack depending on its colour. While it is green, use wind. While it is red, use fire. While it is yellow, use earth. If white, simply use physical attacks to deal damage. For winning you will earn The Ever-Whirling Assassin trophy. Pick up the item on the floor (Organ Pipe).

Head back to the circular room, take the east exit. Follow the path. Keep going past the large central north stairs, you will head there later. Keep going until you reach a second circular room.

Head east to find a Save Point, and save because we have a boss fight.

Zellfel Zam Schultiger will rush back and forth across the area. Just spam fire attacks from afar. The knockback will prevent it from approaching you until you run out of magic. Dodge its attacks meanwhile, it's safer to stay on the ground and observe when he'll use his fire breath. Use boost when possible and mash him and he should go down. You will unlock The Savage Mongrel trophy for winning. Pick up Holy Cross from the floor.

Backtrack to the stairs you previously ignored (north, west to a circular room, then west, and follow the path). Ascend them and enter the room. Pick up the item on the floor, it's the Silver Pendant.

Walk up to the organ and place your items in the appropriate spots. Enter the stairwell that opens.

Follow the path for a couple of rooms until you see two sets of stairs on the right. Take the upper staircase. Climb your way around to find an exit above the one you came through, and then head all the way west to find a room with a chest with Battle Saber.

Leave the room and head all the way east (down the stairway on your way) for another save point, so save. Head north for a boss.

Go north after the battle and watch the cutscene. Talk to Andre to receive a Clock Tower key.

Talk to Bob. Bob will be added to Character Encyclopedia, and this should be the last entry, earning you People Person trophy (you'll have to go to Topic, then Character tab to get it).

Note: Monster Entry No. 47 - Kratica

Make sure to approach the blue crystal beam in this dungeon, I've managed to miss it completely, so don't you as well. The fastest way to find this enemy is to travel to West Wing save point and just go west in the big room with platforms, where you can find it easily.

Go back to save, then head east through the door. Follow the path, then use the key to unlock the door. Enter.

Clock Tower

When you enter, the Clock Tower trophy will unlock.

Head to the next room. Follow the path until the Save Point, and save. The boss awaits.

This battle is very similar to the previous one, but with a few extra tricks, or should I say, moves. Carefully observe Chester while dodging his attacks, then strike when he gives you an opportunity. The best chance is afer he uses his thrust move, most of the time he stands still after that one. He is mmune to magic. For beating him you will get The Vengeful White Knight trophy.

After the battle, keep going forward. Watch the cutscene. Another (unwinnable) battle will start. Just wait until you lose. You will get The Deceptive Heretic trophy.

Watch the scenes.

Redmont Town

Once you regain control, leave the room then enter the room to the east. Talk to Chester to get Brave Sword. This is the final weapon. Equipping it is required to damage one of the later bosses.

Enter the Church. Talk to Harold for Raval Ore x100.

Talk to Adonis in the shop to start a quest. The item he needs is in the final dungeon, we'll get back to this later.

Upgrade your equipment if needed. Head to the pier on the northeast part of the overworld. There are 2 new enemies here, a skeleton and birds, which you should kill on your way.

Talk to Dogi to set sail for Genos Island.

Genos Island

Enter for Genos Island trophy.

Use the Save Point, then enter the broken gate for a boss.

Dularn battle is very similar to the previous one, but with more combos from her side. When Dularn starts teleporting, several fakes will also appear to attack you. The real Dularn is the one using fire attacks, so you need to jump and slash towards her. I recommend using earth magic to avoid getting hit. Defeat the boss for The Tragic Loyalist trophy.

Head further north after the battle.

Dark Shrine

Enter for Dark Shrine trophy.

This is the final dungeon. You will be warned before the point of no return. Follow the long linear path until you see a chest couple of screens ahead. Instead of opening the chest, fall of the ledge to the south for another chest with Emerald.

Now open the chest you previously saw for Raval Ore x750.

Continue the path until a hole in the road. Jump across, then fall down the square hole. Balance your way north to a chest with a final armor - Raval Armor.

Jump down then head east. You can not kill the enemies here yet. Head all the way east past the first intersection, then follow the path south to a chest with Silver Chimes. This accessory allows you to kill undead enemies when equipped.

Backtrack to the intersection and head south. Follow the linear path until an area filled with holes. There is a chest to the west with Raval Ore x640.

You are now back to the area with the square hole. Jump down again, then head south to find a chest with Lotus Hammer. This is the item Adonis needs. We will bring it to him soon.

From the chest, head east. Follow the path until an area with spinning spikes. There is a chest below the intended path, containing Topaz. You now have all magic upgrades. Open the Options menu for Jeweled Bracelet trophy.

Follow the path until an open area. There is a chest to the north-west with Raval Ore x720.

Climb to the top and jump across a gap with two spinning spikes to find the final chest in the game with Raval Ore x960. This should unlock Treasure Hunter trophy. You should also unlock Wealthy Traveler trophy for having 100k of Gold on you, which is easy in this dungeon.

From the chest, jump down south and enter the square hole. Follow the linear path to the final Save Point, use it, of course. Head back to Redmont and complete Adonis' quest (Give him hammer and Raval Ore x1000) - your reward is Raval Shield, the last shield in the game.

Farm money if needed, then buy the remaining equipment from Cynthia. Money can be farmed quickly in the Dark Shrine. With every piece of equipment, you should unlock Equipment Collector trophy when entering your Inventory.

Buy Spirit Necklace for 60,000G from the item shop. This should unlock Item Collector trophy.

Make sure you have the final sword equipped, then fast travel to the final Save Point of Dark Shrine. Head north for a boss.

Note - Final Boss

Without the last sword you cannot damage the boss, so make sure you have it equipped, otherwise you will have to quit and retry. I was level 50 for this fight, plus I had my last sword on max level, and that should be enough.

Garland will raise a shield, and it can only be destroyed by using a physical attack with the final sword equipped. Garland will use a combination of long-range and close-range attacks. Use Fire magic can help you deal damage without getting too close. In the later parts of the battle, Garland will teleport to the center of the area and pull you in. Run in the opposite direction until the attack ends. If you are caught, a scene will play where you are subjected to a long combo. I've never avoided this attack, makes no sense, really. When Garland is defeated, a large explosion will occur. This will deal significant damage if you are too close, so run away. After the fight, you will unlock The Dark Bishop trophy.

Note: Monster Encyclopedia

At this point you should have all entries except the very last one. Monster Encyclopedia does NOT transfer to NG+, so make sure to get everything (which you really should, at this point).

Keep in mind that the above trophy only unlocks when you open the Monster Encyclopedia, you can do this during a short part in Redmont just before the credits.

You will need to leave the room through the south if you want to fast travel.

This is the POINT OF NO RETURN. Taking the elevator will lead to the final boss and ending.

Seat of Evil

Enter for Seat of Evil trophy. Walk up to the platform for a boss fight.

Start by avoiding attacks. When Galbalan uses the ice attack, jump onto the rising platforms, then use a fire attack towards his face shield to reveal his eye. Attack the eye with fire while dodging attacks. After a certain point, Galbalan's arms will detach, and your magic will be disabled, forcing you to attack the arms with physical attacks. After dealing a certain amount of damage, Galbalans eye will once again be revealed allowing you to deal significant damage. When Galbalan has 1,000 HP left, a large white projectile will be fired. While still dodging attacks, hit the projectile with your sword to repeatedly bounce it back at Galbalan. void the sucking floor enemy as it will teleport you in air and the boss with massacre you. You get Sinister Marauder from Afar trophy for winning.

Watch the cutscenes.

Redmont

As soon you you gain control, open the monster encyclopedia to unlock the trophy for all monster entries. You need to do this now, as the trophy only unlocks when the menu is opened, and the monster encyclopedia does not transfer to ng+, plus, the last boss was the last entry. This unlocks Monster Researcher trophy.

Very Easy Playthrough

I will note where you need to go again in short. In general, your equipment enchancement level is now 9, and you start with level from the previous run, but you still have to re-collect the equipment.

There are couple of notes you need to do in this run:

  • Make sure to collect 100k Gold and 10k Raval Ore on you to unlock corresponding trophies. 
  • Grind until you max out your equipment - This and above step can be done in Dark Shrine's last save, just circle between 2 rooms before the final save point. You will probably reach level 54 or so in this step. To fully max out everything, you need 1,069,044 Gold and 53,394 Raval Ore.
    Best method for EXP farming from level 54-60 is to head to the Zone of Lava (Drop-off save point), then fall down the path leading to the Firewyrm's Amulet. Fall down again to a room filled with small enemies. Defeat the enemies, then leave through the exit and re-enter. Try to keep EXP combo active, although it's neary impossible and not needed at all.

And well, defeat the final boss, and save your game. Then, the Inferno run. This part will just leave quick guidelines for beating the game fast.

  • Talk to Jean Pierre and Nell in the church.

  • Fully upgrade all equipment at the Adonis' Weapon Shop for Silver Ultimate Equipment trophy.
  • Once you reach level 60, the trophy Red-Haired Hero will unlock.

Finish the game, make sure you transfer again the first 3 carry bonuses from the top, and let's go with the Inferno Run - although you can do Easy, Hard and Nightmare to unlock remaining Illustrations and get even more points for carry on bonuses. Your choice.

Inferno Playthrough

Simply do the same as in the Very Easy one, as at this point when you carry your bonuses, everything will damage you for 1-5 points. Make sure to update equipment, and the rest is the same.

Remaining Playthroughs

Finish Easy, Hard and Nighmare the same as you did the ones above (Very Easy and Inferno). Just run through the game.

Boss Rush Time Trials and Extra Boss fights

At this points you can enter Time Trials from the main game menu and complete Boss Rush mode of each time trial (meaning, on each difficulty).

When you start each, pause the game and press:
R1, L1, R1, L1, R1, L1, Square, Triangle, Square, Triangle, Square, Triangle, X

This will max you out and completing all Boss Rush challenges will become easy.

By finishing this you should unlock 2 extra fights - against Berhardt and Black Pikkard. The same rule (cheat) works here as well, so just use it and win. This should unlock the remaining gallery entries, thus unlocking the remaining trophies and this should be everything for the platinum.

Congrats!
