Baihu is level 43 and is weak to Force-type attacks and Confuse. Baihu has high Attack and Agility stats and uses Electric-type attacks.

How to Beat Zhuque

Zhuque is level 43, blocks fire, and is weak to Ice damage and Charm. Also Zhuque has a very high Magic stat, so bringing Demons that block or resist fire damage is highly recommended.

Zhuque can also cast Masukunda to raise it's evasion and accuracy, and Dekunda to remove any debuffs. Make sure to bring a Demon that can use a debuff to counteract Masukunda, but don't invest too many actions into debuffing Zhuque as Dekunda will nullify those effects. Defeat this boss to recieve Zhuque's Essence.

How to Beat Qing Long

Qing Long is level 45, is weak to Electric type attacks, but blocks Force and resists Ice-type attacks. This boss' attacks hit hard, but bringing along Demons that block or absorb Ice attacks will help the fight go more smoothly. Also Qing Long is susceptible to debuffs which you can use to your advantage. Defeat this boss to recieve Qing Long's Essence.
