Bullguard's attacks are all heavy, with long intervals between them. Focus on dodging its attacks and counterattacking immediately.

Bullguard Boss and How to Beat

How to Beat Guangzhi

Guangzhi is a fast-moving boss that can easily punish slow, charged attacks. Instead of charging heavy attacks manually, focus on dodging and using Light Attacks to build up Focus Points. Once you’ve built up enough Focus Points, you can unleash an instant fully-charged Heavy Attack for significant damage.

Guangzhi Boss Guide

How to Beat Wandering Wight

Defeating Guangxhi, an easier boss nearby, unlocks a transformation that can be useful in fighting the Wandering Wight, thanks to its solid moveset, high damage output, and ability to tank a few hits.

The Immobilize spell is an important tool to upgrade as it gives you an opportunity to fight back and another chance to stagger the boss. Be careful of using the Immobilize spell during the an enemies attack, as if doesn't stagger after the spell, it will hit you afterwards.

Wandering Wight Spirit Guide

How to Beat Guangmou

Once Guangmou's health drops below a certain threshold, he will begin summoning spectral snakes that fire poison projectiles at you. Attempting to perform any combo attack against Guangmou during this phase will almost certainly result in being hit by one of these projectiles, staggering you and inflicting Poison.

To counter this, it's best to save your Transform spell for when Guangmou summons the snakes. Transforming during this phase allows you to absorb hits and continue attacking Guangmou without interruption.

If Guangmou summons spectral snakes and you don't have your Transformation spell ready, it's advisable to avoid engaging him directly to minimize the risk of being hit by the snakes and getting Poisoned.
How to Beat Guangmou

How to Beat Baw-Li-Guhh-Lang

Baw-Li-Guhh-Lang is easier to fight by staying in front of it and attacking from there. Its moves when you're in front of it are easier to dodge compared to when you're behind it.

You can use the Red Mist Transformation and the Pillar Stance to help you more easily defeat this boss.

How to Beat Baw-Li-Guhh-Lang

How to Beat Whiteclad Noble

The Whiteclad Noble, while difficult to fight, has predictable moves. To defeat him, you need to avoid his attacks and punish his moves.

One technique to defeat the Whiteclad Noble is to combo a Spirit Skill, the Immobilize spell, and the Grey Wolf Mask when the Whiteclad Noble is below 50% health to quickly get rid of 30% of its health in one go.
