Where Winds Meet Qianye Location and How to Beat
Qianye is a Main Quest and Campaign Boss that you can find at Moonveil Mountain in Where Winds Meet. Check out how to beat Qianye The Witch, their movesets and weaknesses, and the rewards and achievements you can claim here!

How to Beat Qianye




Use the Panacea Fan for Health Sustain

The Panacea Fan is the best weapon to use against Qingye because it will practically make you unkillable with continuous healing. You can then focus on just countering Qingye's attacks to deplete her Qi and activate Execute. It is a longer process than using a DPS weapon, but it is a lot safer and easier, especially during the phase where she will drain your health every second.

Infernal Blades Can Easily Sustain Health During 2nd Phase

An alternative DPS-centric weapon you can use during Qingye's white form is the Infernal Blades. Due to how fast the blades hit, you can easily sustain your HP by being aggressive. This will allow you to deal damage and consistently recover health, achieving two goals at once.

Anticipate and Dodge Her First Wave Attack Forward

During the second phase, Qianye's wave attack is her most damaging move and can easily end your fight, so you must be very wary of it. As soon as you see her glow glow while her scythe is behind her, stop attacking and prepare to dodge forward as she swings.

Dodging forward will allow you to dodge the wave more easily as it reduces the frames you need to pass through the attack. You must aim for a perfect dodge and use the slow-motion time to position yourself behind her so that she cannot reach you with the succeeding waves.

Use Meridian Touch To Cancel Her Attacks

During the first phase, whenever Qianye perches on the roof to throw her scythe and slam down on you, you can use Meridian Touch to cancel her slam attack and knock her down. This is useful for giving you an openings for burst damage and cancelling the follow-up sweep attack after the slam.

Once you reach her second phase, you can also use Meridian Touch on her ranged wave attack to immediately cancel the combo and knock her down as well.

Keep Attacking and Deflecting When She Swaps to White-form

Once Qianye reaches around 75% health during her 2nd phase, she will swap with her reflection to assume a White-form and start draining your health constantly as the fight drags on. Make sure to deflect her attacks and keep attacking her as each use of these will recover health to help you counteract the constant health drain.

Take note that you can also use Healing arts such as the Panacea Fan to recover health faster during her white-form 2nd phase.

Qianye briefly winds up her scythe and dashes forward to execute an upward slash from below. This move can be parried and dodged when timed correctly.
Sweeping Slash
Qianye charges up her scythe with a red glow and unleashes a wide sweeping slash around her. This move can be perfect parried to trigger a counterattack and dodged when timed correctly.
Falling Double Wave
Qianye dodges backwards and flies into the air to briefly charge her scythe with a gold glow and unleash two wave lines on the ground. This move cannot be parried, so we recommend dodging to the side to avoid the attack.

Triple Wave
Qianye charges up her scythe with a gold glow to execute 3 wave lines in front of her. This move cannot be parried, so we recommend dodging between the gaps to avoid the attack.
Double Shadow Strike
Qianye enters a quick stance and disappears from sight. She then reappears in your blind spot to execute a wide slash and disappears again to redo the same wide slash from your blind spot.

This move can be parried and dodged when timed correctly. We also recommend standing still and only start parrying when the camera angle changes for good timings.

Goddess of Fire
Qianye flies into the air, charges her scythe briefly with a gold glow, and boomerangs her burning double-sided scythe towards you until she slams into the ground and follows up with a wide sweeping slash.

The boomerang and slam attack cannot be parried, so we recommend dodging to avoid it, while her follow-up sweeping slash can be parried.

Hi! Thanks for pointing this one out. We updated the page to include this move, Reaper's Slash. We've also added some details about this!

Missing moves when she is in the white mode 2nd phase where she slashes once and then does a golden hit that almost oneshots. Almost impossible to dodge/parry that combo so its a run ender for me
