Bai Kru

Your introduction to pain starts at Reverent Temple’s courtyard. Talk to the Boatman, and you’ll face this aggressive tutorial boss that sets the tone for everything ahead. The creature’s relentless jumping attacks create constant pressure, forcing you to master dodge timing immediately.

Key tactics for victory:

• Target the sides and rear during jump recovery frames
• Don’t panic dodge repeatedly or you’ll drain stamina when you need it most
• Wait for the pounce animation to finish before committing to attacks
• Block is useless here so focus entirely on positioning

Rewards include 5x Red Mercury Essence.

Tang Palace Maid (Buddha Cliffs)

After grabbing your first spell and pushing through the cavern, you’ll encounter what barely qualifies as a boss fight. This enemy exists purely to give you a breather before things escalate again. The arena’s vertical layout actually works in your favor for once.

Key tactics for victory:

• Use the ledges for plunging attacks repeatedly
• Stay elevated to avoid most counterattacks
• Reset positioning between strikes
• Don’t overthink this one

Rewards include Benediction: Bu – Skyborn Ward.

Master Raider – Man-Eating Dhutanga

Inside Lightzen Temple past the courtyard shrine, this fight introduces interrupt mechanics. Weapon choice matters significantly here, and slower heavy weapons finally shine. The boss telegraphs abilities clearly enough, but timing your aggression versus retreat makes the difference.

Key tactics for victory:

• Equip an axe or halberd for maximum interrupt potential
• Land three consecutive heavy attacks then immediately back off
• Watch for his casting animations and create distance
• Don’t get greedy after successful interrupts

Rewards include Lightzen Key, Temper: Bone Needle – Flame, Tao Qing item: Copper Jug, and Spell: Echo of Dhutanga.

Gluttonous Monstrosity – Lu Hongliu

Navigate the ruined village rooftops near Shu Sanctum until you spot blood-soaked stairs. The courtyard beyond holds this massive boss whose size works against her. Despite the intimidating appearance, her attack patterns follow predictable rhythms once you recognize the tells.

Key tactics for victory:

• Dodge toward her during lunges to avoid follow-up strikes
• Circle laterally when she fires blood streams
• Capitalize on the vulnerability window at half health
• Quick single strikes work better than combo attempts

Rewards include Tao Qing item: Jade Cicada, Quest items: Trinity Bell and White Jade Dumpling, plus Spell: Echo of Lu Hongliu.

Feathered Priest – Lu Bingzhang

The second floor of Shu Sanctum temple presents a choice: summon help or suffer alone. Nian Suichang trivializes this encounter completely. Solo players face constant Corruption projectile spam in a cramped arena that limits movement options.

Key tactics for victory:

• Summon Nian Suichang unless you enjoy unnecessary difficulty
• Stay mobile to avoid Corruption pools
• Close distance quickly between projectile volleys
• Heavy weapons stagger him effectively at close range

Rewards include Shu Sanctum Key, Benediction: Wei – Vitality Ferocity, Tao Qing item: Priest’s Broken Cane, Quest item: Mercurial Blood, and Spell: Echo of Lu Bingzhang.

Blightweaver – Great Centipede

Deep in Bandit Cave’s winding passages, you’ll reach a massive cavern housing this multi-segmented nightmare. The creature’s melee game isn’t dangerous, but environmental hazards and special attacks require careful attention. Underground phases test your patience more than your reflexes.

Key tactics for victory:

• Watch the tail and side segments for gas emissions
• Mash buttons during screech stuns to recover faster
• Observe ground glow patterns before dodging burrow attacks
• Conserve stamina during underground phases

Rewards include Weapon: Astral Blade, Tao Qing item: Believer Statue, Quest item: Taoist Token, and Spell: Echo of the Great Centipede.

Reborn Treant – Soulwood

Lu Mansion’s ravine ends at a large cavern containing this stationary boss with surprisingly dangerous abilities. The Despair-inflicting pool adds environmental danger, but clever positioning completely breaks this encounter. Sometimes cheese strategies are the smart choice.

Key tactics for victory:

• Position behind rocks on the right side for projectile immunity
• Use minions and dodges to build Skyborn Might
• Cast ranged spells during safe windows
• Avoid the vacuum pull ability completely from cover

Rewards include Tao Qing item: All-Tree Jade Cylinder and Spell: Echo of Soulwood.

Tang Palace Maid (Palace Hill)

Inside Tang Palace’s main building, you’ll face another Palace Maid, though this one actually fights back properly. Heavy weapons continue proving their worth for stance-breaking strategies. Poise damage accumulates quickly with the right weapon choice.

Key tactics for victory:

• Axe heavy swings cause consistent flinching
• Build poise damage until stagger occurs
• Follow staggers with maximum damage combos
• Maintain aggressive pressure

Rewards include Armor: Palace Maid set, Chest: Manna Vase upgrade, Progression: Hall of Music Key, and Material: Brilliant Red Feather.

Commander – Honglan

After draining the palace courtyard water, you’ll face your first real skill check. Honglan demands mechanical precision that separates casual players from those ready for endgame content. Your weapon choice determines whether you prioritize aggression or technical defense.

Key tactics for victory:

• Axes enable Clash mechanics that launch her airborne
• Longswords allow Deflect parries for Sekiro-style countering
• Upgraded Rampage discipline adds juggle potential
• Learn her combo patterns through repetition

Rewards include Reverent Temple Key and Benediction: Wei – Combo Force.

General of the North – Ai Nengqi

• Keep Frostbite resistance items ready

Rewards include Tao Qing item: Wooden Strip and Spell: Echo of Liu Cheng’en.

Mistress of the Night – Huang Yan

• Prioritize Corruption healing over Frostbite
• Circle constantly to avoid tracking spells

Rewards include Tao Qing item: Shell Cup, Quest item: Research Journal – Scrap 1, and Spell: Echo of Huang Yan.
