Did you ever wonder if there still are suckers on the world who haven't finished Ys 1 yet?
Well, now you have the answer.

This batman in the mines, it seems nearly invincible.
When I was young, I could never get past him, and now I still can't do it.

Has someone got some hints?

I am on the highest level, and I already got all of the silver stuff.

You can only damage him if he's the batman, not when he's bats . And in order to do so, you must hit a corner of his body, that is, 'enter' him for only a small part in the corner and then 'leave' him. It's like you cut off a hook of him

Good luck!

Euhm... the batman in the mines is only vulnerebal to one kind of material. I believe you had to switch back from silver to... something else over there. Didn't someone give you a hint about that? (Or was it the bossmonster? lousy memory...)

Thanks!

He seems to be vulnerable at the feet (Achilles' Heel?), when using the silver sword.

My main problem is dodging the bats. Each time, he totally kills me with those.

nope... the bat-man is only defeatable with all-silver stuff. Circle around, wait for brief moments in the corners and watch him transform... after a while you will be able to tell WHEN he's about to transform into the man and then hit him fast. (walking through him in a vertical line, never in a horizontal line, because you get hit more that way). move away immediatly after that, and repeat circling around him.

It takes a while to get to know his routine, but after you do he'll be relatively easy.

ps: Snout, you've got the endboss and this boss mixed up with the switching your weapon-gear. Because the ultimate boss in darm tower is also only defeatable with the silver gear (and not the flame-sword / battle shield / battle armor)

Low Profile : Already more or less noticed that whilst typing the post. I should play YS1 again, soon

Thanks again!

I defeated the bat-man, and just entered Darm's Tower.

Finally I'll complete this game!
