How do you beat Vagillion in the mine

[Ryle]

How Do you Damage the Bat Boss in the Mine. I have The siver sword, Armor and shield. Im also lv 10. I cant seem to figure out the angle to hit him but i only seem to get one shot to hit him as it is since his bats kill me pretty quick. Any help would be appreciated

Sounds like you need to level up some!

How can i do that? Lv 10 is the Max Lv. Well I eventually figured out why i couldnt hit him i was too slow and he was getting ready to turn into bats. Took me about 20 to 30 trys to beat him then dumb me after beating him i loaded the game instead of saving it lol

Unless he's playing Ys Eternal or Ys Complete, in which case there are only ten levels. Mostly, what you need to do is run around the circumfrence of the room. Stay in a corner until the bats are nearly on you, then run the Hell away. But keep an eye out. Sometimes when all the bats rush at you, he reforms. That's when you stick the bugger with your sword. Using either the Power or Brass ring is a plus.

Yep After alot of trial and error i found that out. He's still a cleaver one though

It does NOT matter which ring you use during boss battles! They have - like in the classic versions of YsI - absolutely no effect whatsoever. Boss battles go without items - the only thing that counts is your sword, shield and armor.

Really? I could've sworn... eh well. Thanks for the heads-up!

I thought you could use the armor ring or power ring on the boss, just not the timer ring.

Level 10 before even getting to Darm's Tower? Wow.

Hehe ya stuff in the mine gives good XP. But now i got a new problem Ive gotten to the Two heads in Darms tower and i know that it switches heads when you hit one. Problem is i cant seem to hit thier head without taking damage from the crystals surrounding them.

[Mejilan]

Well... in this case, practice makes perfect.

The trick with the two heads boss is to approach them when THE CRYSTALS ARE BETWEEN YOU AND THE BOSS so that way by the time you actually get close, ur in the "safe area" ^^

And in the case of the original Ys games where you "bump" the enemies to damage them, Just keep running past the sucker while being a little bit careful even for the millisecond ur in (and going out) that "safe area" (and yeah take note he changes his elemental affinity when hit too)

I'm not sure if I said it right but you get the idea ^^;

Well whatever. I killed him my first time through. The only tough guys for me when I first played this game are the first (that cloaked guy who defends himself with those damn firebreathing walls) and the final boss (Dark Fact).

Another thing. If you give up, you'll end up hating the Ys series so whatever happens.....
