Yi Dao Best Companion

The best companion to bring against Yi Dao would be Yuan Jin'Gang due to his ability to deplete the enemy's Qi Bar from a safe distance. Yuan Jin'Gang will be outside Yi Dao's reach and will be able to stagger the boss with his ranged attacks.

We recommend having Yuan Jin'Gang as a companion to help deplete Yi Dao's Qi Bar and open you up for Execute attacks to deal huge damage.

Best Companions to Summon

Yi Dao Location

Found by Touching the Sword at Blissful Retreat

You can find Yi Dao by touching the sword next to the tree near the burned building at Blissful Retreat in the Qinghe region.

This will transport you to a different map called Dreamscape: Blissful Retreat, where you will have to take on the Dream in Flames lost chapter to find Yi Dao at the end of the quest.

How to Beat Yi Dao


Focus on Parrying and Dodging

Yi Dao has a wide variety of moves you can parry, but the most important move to watch out for is his Triple Illusion Strike as this is unblockable and tracks your position every time he sends illusions out. Make sure to focus on dodging the illusions strikes and keep your distance to avoid getting hit by it.

We also recommend to parry his red attacks to initiate counterattacks for good Qi damage. Only attack him directly if you have a good opening such as when he is knocked down to steadily whittle down his Qi bar and exhaust him for huge damage.

Use Celestial Seize to Cancel His 3-hit Sweep

Yi Dao has a 3-hit sweeping slash that can be difficult to dodge and parry due to the large AoE range. We highly recommend using the Celestial Seize mystic art whenever he performs this move so you can easily cancel the 3-hit sweeping slash and disarm him for a few seconds.

Take note that Celestial Seize has a 40-second cooldown upon using it so make sure to keep your distance from Yi Dao when he plans to do the 3-hit sweeping slash when your mystic art is on cooldown.
