Nine-Capped Lingzhi Guai Strategy
Avoid the Exploding Trail Recommended Stances

Avoid the Exploding Trail

In the battle against Nine-Capped Lingzhi Guai, constant movement is essential. The boss's attacks leave red trails on the floor that explode after a short time.

If you're still standing on them when they detonate, you'll lose HP. Always stay aware of the red trails and keep moving to avoid damage.

Recommended Stances

Thrust Stance is highly effective in this fight due to the enemy's long-range spear weapon, allowing you to counter from a distance.

Pillar Stance is also useful for evading the exploding red trails, helping you stay safe while elevated.
