Boss 1: Jenocres
Nightmare Mode

The search for the first Book of Ys brings Adol to the Shrine nearby the town, and it isn't far inside that he runs into his first great encounter.

════════════════════════════
The first boss of Ys I is fairly simple, though it sets up the theme for battles in the first game. There are only 10 levels in this game, considering it's the shortest entry in the series (and because it's the first). Therefore, at one level you may die in a few hits and dish out next to no damage, but at the next level up you will slaughter the bosses and enemies.

On Nightmare mode the difference between levels is even more apparent than usual, since usually level 4 is enough for Jenocres. He teleports around somewhat based on your position (normally he teleports opposite the side you are standing, so being near the middle is best) and it basically boils down to avoiding the flames jetting from the wall. They rack up damage pretty nicely and unlike future titles in the series you can't use items, heal, or use your equipment's special effects in boss battles. Fortunately at this level he goes down pretty quickly.

Also he is one of the two bosses in this game that lags remotejoy somewhat; you should be able to see the considerable jump in FPS before and after the fight. It actually made this pretty tolerable, but in real time he's moving much faster and his teleporting can be hard to keep up with when trying to dodge flames.

After defeating Jenocres, Adol ventures deeper into the Lower Shrine and comes across something unexpected.
