The story unfolds in the northern sea Obelia Bay, a bay filled with countless islands of all sizes... Ys X: Nordics, the long-awaited latest installment commemorating the 35th anniversary of the Ys series, is coming to multiple platforms on September 28! Meet our heroes, Adol and Karja, and the members of the Free Karnack Boys' Club who journey with them!
Time Attack / Boss Rush Mode
Time Attack (fight against each boss separately) & Boss Rush (fight against all bosses in succession) will be unlocked after clearing the main story.
Before starting battle against each boss, you'll be able to change Adol & Karja's equipment, accessories, skills, and Mana Seeds. These settings will greatly alter Adol & Karja's stats and thus the stage's clear time as well.
Bosses
Orcupete*: A strange bird-type Greeger that attacks humans from fogs. It confuses people with a female-like scream and curses them with a song. It'll work together with 2 other units to launch swift attacks from mid-air, so you'll need to constantly switch between Solo Mode's auto-evasion & Combi Mode's guard.
Magna Diga: A gigantic creature wholly covered in solid carapace, living at some regions in Obelia Bay. It swallows all nearby garbage like wood and rubble and use them against its enemies. It can also swing and slam its body to deal fatal wounds. You'll be forced to fight it in mortar-shaped fields, so Mana Ride will be the key in this fight.
Aigi: A colossus-type Greeger and Yolds' underling that persistently pursues Adol's team. Although it doesn't seem to have intellect like Yolds, its explosive power and wide-range attacks make up for it. Its health is also on a whole another level, so even Mana users like Adol and Karja will have a tough time beating it.
Blob Durion: A parasite-type Greeger that looks like a jellyfish. It weakens and stops its preys by using poison and paralysis attacks. Its movements aren't really quick, but it can confuse its enemies by splitting into countless small Greegers, so it'll be difficult to read its patterns.
Armed Biter: A ferocious beast-type Greeger that appeared at Obelia Bay. It attacks its preys in a frenzy by using its gigantic jaw, grown forearms, and the whip-like bendable tail. Its forearms are covered with armor and have high defense, so be careful when attacking it head-on.
