Snake Doctor Best Companion

The best companion to bring against the Snake Doctor would be Yuan Jin'Gang due to his ability to deal Qi Damage from a safe distance. Yuan Jin'Gang's ranged attacks is also capable of staggering the boss to cancel his attack animations for better openings.

We recommend having Yuan Jin'Gang as a companion, as he will constantly stagger and whittle down Snake Doctor's Qi Bar to open you up for Execute attacks that can deal huge damage.

Best Companions to Summon

Snake Doctor Location

Cave Entrance Found West of Encircling Lake

The Snake Doctor can be found inside an underground cave full of snakes under the Encircling Lake area to the south of the Qinghe region. You can find the entrance to the west of the Boss pin in your map.

Take note this cave is filled with snakes that can easily kill you, so try to jump and dodge past them to find the Snake Doctor just ahead.

How to Beat Snake Doctor


Stay in Melee Range and Exhaust Him Often

Snake Doctor has a variety of ranged attacks that you want him to avoid doing due to the poison effects it applies. We highly recommend staying in close range so Snake Doctor can focus on doing melee attacks that are easily telegraphed due to the obvious wind-ups he performs.

Additionally, try to exhaust him as often as possible, since performing Execute attacks on him will chop off a large chunk of his health.

Parry His Red Attacks for Qi Damage

Once you reach his second phase, he will be capable of performing two red attacks that he will use often. We recommend parrying his red attacks as much as possible as this is a good source of Qi damage to eventually exhaust him and peform Execute attacks for huge damage.
