Anyone have any tips for beating the first boss? I'm level 4, and this is my first foray into the Ys series. He keeps handing me my lunch, and I can't get him down to below one quarter of his health. Are the rest of the bosses harder than this first one? If so, maybe I'd better switch to Trulon!
Grinding to level 5 using the knights outside the shrine would be a good first step. If you head over by the bridge to the Bandit's hideout, you can get in a quick loop of 3 respawning knights and get to level 5 within a couple minutes. Also, what's your equipment layout? Having the second tier sword, shield, or armor is a gigantic help. If you haven't done so already, find the Golden Urn in a pond in the eastern portion of the field area (close to Zeptik east/west, but a bit further south). Head back to Minea and sell it for 2000 or 2200 gold (depending on your patience negotiating with the pawnshop owner), then buy some better equipment. The first boss is pretty brutal - there's a reason there's a 100 point achievement for beating him without taking damage. You mostly have to be patient and hang around the top or bottom of the screen until there's a clear path to hit him without getting roasted by the fire streams. Since his appearances are random, it can take a while until he shows up in the middle of the screen, but not being protected by fire.
Thanks for the detailed answer. I have a long sword, tier 1 shield and chain mail so far. I'll grind to level 5 or 6 and then try again.
I agree with all that! He gave me a hard time for a while, but as soon as I really took my time with a lot of patience, I was able to squeak by. Fun boss though. Way more difficult than the turn-based RPGs that I usually play.
Thanks guys. Just beat him. Now I just need to level a little more to handle the enemies that come after that boss through the broken wall.
Yeah, it's a known bug. The devs are probably working hard on it (and the one that comes up in the final boss battle), but in the meantime it seems you can get around it by solving the puzzle of that room before you try to go through it. Spoiler Head out to the balcony and you'll notice the pillars kind of look like organ pipes. Use the hammer on each one until you find the one that will break. That will stop the evil music from draining your life, and stop the evil bug from killing your game.
Hope the new update fixes the crashes people were experiencing. It never crashed on me, but maybe I was just lucky. However, I am loving the new option for a position lock on the D-pad. Thanks very much, DotEmu, I feel like I have better control now.
What's the difference between "chronicles mode" and "original mode"? Really should put some info in the game... otherwise how do they expect players who never played Ys before to find out??
It's only difference charactor portrait art. Chronicles is PSP version's portrait, Original is first remake pc version, Eternal's portrait art. Just as it.
Achievements Can someone please tell me all of the achievements (also the hidden ones) of this ios version and how to get them? (Put them in spoiler tags if you want or PM me) Thanks!
I used spoiler tags since I can't remember what was hidden and what wasn't. Most of them are pretty self explanatory, but I've added comments on a couple of them...

Yay! Just been discounted! Down to £2.29 sterling. Presumably due to Ys II coming out shortly. Just picked it up. Very pleased!
This was loads of fun! Been playing it on and off for a few weeks, but really made me smile. Deserves more love. Right, on to Ys II at some point...
I have very fond memories of the Y's series. I actual had 1-3 on the TurboDuo in the 90's. The music was amazing on that system for the time. Picked this up just the other day when it went on sale for $.99 and what a blast. Holy hell the bats though. I don't remember that part at all! Maybe it was so traumatic that I've blocked it from my memory. I've almost snapped my phone in half a few times now. Anyone have any pointers?
Oh, the motherflipping bats! Many, many tries... Not sure what worked for me in the end. Need to give yourself room so they pack together and it's easier to avoid them, but also stay close enough to dart in and hit. Ugh... Just keep trying, keep dying, and eventually you'll get there. The final boss is also a treat. I loved this game!
