“Triple Threat” starts when you enter the Sha-Chi rift next to The Lady’s Rift bell, in Weeping Creek Valley, where you fight the Aberrant Three-Faced Puppet. It ends almost at the end of the game, in the Bosque congelado, by defeating Yucong three times; for the second fight you need the Blazing Edge. It gives Freezing Chaos and a Chaos Iron Fragment II. It is not lost when you climb the stairs behind the Green Serpent House.
