Strategies to beat it
Pick the one that suits the way you play. We only recommend gear you can have when you reach Pangzhen.
Strategy with fast weapons (one-handed and dual)
Close in fast: at short range his ranged attacks lose their point. The best options here are Wild Oriole Sword and Parting Hooks. Punish only when he comes out of the water, and keep the other weapon in reserve: switching restores all your Sha-Chi.
Strategy with heavy weapons (two-handed)
Charges (Armybreaker) close the distance in one go. Try Outlaw Warblade or Armybreaker. The Outlaw Warblade restores health on hit, ideal if you struggle to stay alive.
Elemental strategy
He has no known elemental weakness. Focus on physical damage and on draining his Sha-Chi: a good deflect rhythm pays off more than any element.
Defensive strategy (deflects and dodges)
His most dangerous attack is the waves and cone-shaped jets while he’s submerged: learn the animation and always dodge it. Deflect every blue flash to drain his Sha-Chi without spending yours, and execute as soon as he’s stunned. If you’re struggling, the Counterstrike Bracers accessory (first Long Pillar) rewards deflects.
Strategy with Phantom Edges
Bring the Iron Gauntlets to break his guard or defenses and, if the summon icon glows in the arena, the Puppeteer’s Bell so someone distracts him while you heal. Remember that sparks recharge when you rest at a bell: spend them freely on the boss.
If you get stuck
- Upgrade your two main weapons before going back (the boss is level 14).
- Upgrade your medicines with the healer at the Green Serpent House once you have access.
- Drop to Wayfarer: it doesn’t affect any trophy and you can raise the difficulty again later.
Recommended gear
- Your two main weapons upgraded as far as possible.
- A guard-breaking Phantom Edge (Dread Axe, Iron Gauntlets or Bashpole).
- Upgraded medicines and, if he’s weak to an element, the gear from the elemental strategy.
