Chapter 1 Walkthrough Guide

How to Beat Bullguard

Bullguard's attacks are all heavy, with long intervals between them. Focus on dodging its attacks and counterattacking immediately. The Immobilize spell unlocked in this fight will help you gain an advantage against it.

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.

When Lingxuzi climbs onto the rooftops, stay still and wait for his aerial attack. Dodge at the precise moment.

How to Beat Guangmou

When Guangmou summons spectral snakes, attempting to perform any combo attack against Guangmou will almost certainly result in being hit by one of these snake's projectiles, staggering you and inflicting Poison. Save your Transform spell for this phase to absorb hits and continue attacking Guangmou without interruption.

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. Save your high-impact spells for the second phase as it's the harder section of the fight.

How to Beat Black Wind King

Black Wind King is easier to beat if you obtain the Fireproof Mantle after defeating the secret boss, Elder Jinchi. It's best to keep your distance and dodge his attacks, and save your Transformation and Spirit for the second half of the fight.

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.

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.

How to Beat Elder Jinchi

Elder Jinchi is a secret boss in this chapter and has several powerful moves that you should avoid as much as possible. Hit his undead minions to heal some health.
