Chapter 4 Secret Area Bosses

Daoist Mi

Daoist Mi isn't the hardest boss out there, but he does has two phases. Make sure you bring ways to remove Poison since that's the only threatening thing in this fight.

How to Beat Daoist Mi and Location

The Scorpion Lord

The Scorpion Lord is one of the hardest bosses in the game thanks to combination of his attacks being able to poison you and his long attack strings that barely give you any room to breathe. Take this fight slowly and only attack or look to stagger him when there's an opening for it.

The Duskveil

The Duskveil has two phases, with the second one being much more terrifying than the first. Make sure that you save your resources for the second phase so that you can try to burst it down before the fight gets really difficult.
