All Ys Games Listed In Chronological Order

The Ys series remains a popular, but well-kept secret in the JRPG game world. Here’s how every game fits into the series’ timeline.

There’s a bit of prep we need to do before you can really explore the mine, though the rewards within are well worth it. It’s in the Abandoned Mine you’ll finally learn what these statues are all about, so let’s get started.

Navigating The Abandoned Mine

Reaching The Mission Tablet

Your first goal in the Abandoned Mine is finding the Missions Tablet left behind by Genos. To start, drop to the bottom of the main shaft in Tigray Quarry and head to the left, or warp right to the Storehouse save point with the Wing Talisman. Head in through the previously closed door to start your journey through the Abandoned Mine.

The path is quite linear for the next while, so keep on traveling to the left until you finally reach a fork in the road. You can go downwards or to the left for another room. Take the left and watch a rather lengthy expository cutscene, which grants you the Mission Tablet and a newfound purpose to defeat Galbalan.

With this, you also acquire two new abilities – Double Jump, and Double Boost. The former is self-explanatory, letting you perform a second jump for extra height and distance. The latter lets your Boost Gauge gain a second level, this one in red, which fills up automatically. This Double Boost restores your HP, lengthens your combo even more, and has a massive blast that deals damage upon activation.

With our new abilities, we can now continue down through the mine.

Reaching The Boss

After acquiring the Mission Tablet, return back to the last area and drop all the way down to the bottom. Once you’ve hit rock bottom, head to the next area on the left. You’ll need your double jump to clear the ledge.

This area is quite linear, so follow it along to the next area. The Minotaur enemies here, Duradel, are quite powerful so avoid them if you need. Head down the stairs to the next area.

Here, work your way around the small lake, and take the stairs down once again on the left. In this area you will hit a fork, with a set of stairs leading downwards and a broken bridge. Take the stairs down here. Dropping down the broken bridge will bring you to the same area, though will drop you in the middle of a group of Duradels.

There’s nothing else to see on this floor, so take the stairs in the centre of the room down once again. We’re back at another large mineshaft, though we’re not dropping to the bottom this time. Instead, travel down about four sets of stairs until you reach a piece of the platform with no railing. Fully charge the Ventus Bracelet and perform a double jump, allowing the Ventus Bracelet to carry you the rest of the way. Proceed onwards.

Almost at the end now. This is a side-scrolling section with a renewed focus on platforming. With the help of your double jump, try to stay on the elevated sections at all times, as powerful enemies await you below. There’s not much to see here, so keep up high until you reach the stairs downwards.

At the bottom of these stairs will finally be a save point, and the boss room just ahead. Take the time to heal up before heading further in.

Every Optional Item

The Abandoned Mine has a decent few treasures for you to plunder, so here’s a quick look at them all:

The Raval Ore is always useful, especially as the difficulty takes a jump so you can have your armour and weapons in tip-top shape, though you don’t want to miss the increased power for the Ventus Bracelet either.

Defeating Istersiva

Istersiva is the final boss of the Abandoned Mine, and are a bit odd. They start as a giant worm, before becoming something more akin to a butterfly. Very quick chrysalis. The first stage of the fight is quite simple, with Istersiva being quite slow.

Wallop them with a few hits then move away to avoid their sweeping attacks. The biggest threat they pose in this stage are the smaller enemies they summon. A laser will fire from the crystal in the back of the room, and it can chain between every enemy to create a very difficult to navigate arena. Therefore, destroy these smaller enemies the second they spawn.

Once Istersiva drops to exactly half their HP, they will return to the crystal and start the second phase. This is much harder, with them dropping bombs and firing off countless bullets that can quickly fill the screen. When a large shield expands around them, run in and attack them to deal damage. It might take a bit, but you’ll get there eventually.

With Istersiva defeated, you will be given the Darkness Statue and can return back to Redmont to continue your adventure.
