Boss 6: Gelaldy the Murderous Construct Toal/Nightmare Mode Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfjut10T8wsY04zbKEni5J1BXuhdB1ZCM His time long spent in the Guilt Fire finally comes to an end as Toal reaches the door leading the next floor. Beyond it he comes upon a giant lava pit, and as expected it contains another giant demon ready to destroy the intruder. ════════════════════════════ This is the first fight where Toal's jumping attack can really shine: it does more damage than his normal attacks and because it comes out just as fast you can unscrew Gelaldy's arms in only one go if you're lucky. The first phase really lets you go wild with the jumping attack, and as such you can make it so Gelaldy really can't do much else besides his arm swipe and his punch. If he does get off his aerial lasers, having all of the platforms available makes it easy enough to get around. The only issue with getting a full set of jumping strikes off is that if you don't aim it right then Toal will either miss his third/fourth slashes or will end up jumping onto Gelaldy's arm which can be a nuisance. Either way, there's not really much to worry about. The second phase can go the same way, but trying to record this made me come to realization that this boss always made me impatient for some reason. Because the red platforms go missing in his second phase you can very easily slip into the lava and all over the place if the jumping attack is a little off the mark or if you just don't have the footing behind you. Granted, the damage you take won't be too much, but at least in my case it just left me lazy and getting caught by his other attacks that I normally don't have to think twice about. Two sets of normal attacks will usually be enough for one arm, so it's not that big a time loss to do it normally. As for his attacks, Toal can have a bit of trouble when Gelaldy summons its minions as Thunder Claw again isn't as versatile or wide as Trap Mine or Whirlwind. Toal's new Inferno can be useful for them though as it provides Toal invulnerability throughout if you don't manage to kill them. With nothing else to do during Gelaldy's laser barrage, Inferno can also be useful if you find yourself getting caught off guard by any of the falling beams. Overall not too difficult a fight, but it really highlights the usefulness and unwieldiness of Toal's jumping attack which will be getting more use later on. ════════════════════════════ The beast erupts in a glorious fashion, opening Toal's passage to the next floor. Before he makes his exit, though, Yunica finds him and offers her thanks for saving her from the Devil's Corridor. Toal denies his involvement in the affair but Yunica is sure, also offering an apology for jumping to conclusions about him earlier. Toal responds with the reality of a cruel world, but is cut short when he realizes Yunica was able to make it through the Devil's Corridor. Cadena follows behind Yunica, revealing that Hugo was able to disable the Corridor's design, something which leaves Toal prideful of his brother's accomplishment. Cadena reads Toal's care for his brother like a book, and before leaving expresses that the people of Ys will be there for him should he need them. Toal shrugs off the sentiment and, knowing his own character, vows to see his path to the end as he reaches the Tower's next floor.
