Murong Yuan Best Companion

The best companion to bring with you against Murong Yuan is Ruby due to her ability to provide you with a second life. This can stack well with the Evening Snow Inner Way and the Surging Meridian talent in Solo Mode, providing you with up three extra lives for you to take on Murong Yuan.

Take note that there is a bug on Murong Yuan's 2nd phase where any of your companions will not attack for the duration of the fight, which Ruby can take advantage of since she does not spawn as an actual NPC.

Murong Yuan Location

Found at North Imperial Garden at Jadewood Court

In order to unlock Murong Yuan, you will need to complete the Jinming Pool: Petalfall Banquet campaign quest to progress further.

Once you have finished the quest, you can find Murong Yuan's Campaign version at the Jadewood Court area in the Kaifeng region.

How to Beat Murong Yuan (World Boss)



Always Remain at a Distance

Stay at a Distance

During Murong Yuan's first phase, it is better to adopt a reactive playstyle, and always keep a decent amount of distance between you and Murong Yuan to give yourself enough time to react to her attacks.

Holding your block while moving around is a good option, while remembering to parry often to stagger the boss faster.

Ignore the Wooden Eagle

During the second phase of the fight, it is better to ignore the Wooden Eagle as much as you can, and focus only on fighting Murong Yuan, since defeating Murong Yuan will end the battle, regardless of whether the Wooden Eagle is still present.

Even during the times when you must focus on the Wooden Eagle only, focus on dodging and blocking instead, to save your cooldowns for when you can attack Murong Yuan.

Use Meridian Touch to Cancel Her Yellow Attack

Use Meridian Touch to Cancel Her Yellow Attack

Whenever Murong Yuan performs a yellow unblockable attack during her first phase, you can use Meridian Touch to cancel it and knock her down for a few seconds. This is useful for giving you openings to perform your most powerful combos as you whittle down her health and Qi bar throughout the fight.

How to Beat Murong Yuan (Hero's Realm)


Destroy Her Shield Quickly

Murong Yuan will eventually create a shield around her that encompasses her entire health bar to execute an instant party wipe mechanic after 20 seconds. We highly recommend all players to focus on destroying her shield before the 20 seconds are up to prevent your party from losing the run.

Move the Barrels to the Right Side

The Sea of Fire move releases a large fire wave around the entire arena from left to right. Make sure to carry the barrels to the right side to prevent them from exploding due to the large fire wave that the Wooden Bird will execute.

Take note the barrels that are near each other will deal an area-wide explosion when hit by the Wooden Bird's fire projectiles so try to distance each barrel from each other to avoid getting procing the explosion.

Phase 1 Phase 2
Hero's Realm

Piercing Strike
Murong Yuan's blade turns golden, and then performs a dashing downward slash, followed by a golden glow stab. The dash can be parried and dodged, but the Stab can only be dodged and not parried.

Eagle Descent
Murong Yuan performs a feint, followed by leaping into the air, and then stabbing her sword downward with a red hue with AoE slashes on impact. The move is followed up by another aerial downward slash that can be perfectly parried to trigger a counterattack, and dodged when timed correctly. The initial downward slam and succeeding AoE Slashes can be parried, but is extremely difficult due to the successive slashes.
Sword Cyclone
Murong Yuan throws her sword towards you, and then performs a yellow attack upon retrieving the sword. The sword throw can be parried and dodged, but the yellow slash can only be dodged and not parried.
Sword Dance
Murong Yuan kicks her sword into the air, which then falls towards you. She then follows up this move by dashing towards the sword and then performs a series of slashes in a rhythmic pattern. Both parts of the attack can be parried and dodged.

Phase 2 Murong Yuan and Wooden Eagle Attack Patterns

Moves Details
Wheel Dance
Murong Yuan dashes forward and performs an upward swing, and then follows it up with two spinning slashes. Both the dash and slashes can be parried and dodged
Eagle Strike
Wooden Eagle launches two sets of four burning feathers. The projectiles should be dodged, since your focus must remain on Murong Yuan instead during the second phase of the fight.
Crushing Dance
Murong Yuan begins the combo with a stab, followed by a downward slam into a wheel slash. She then finishes off the combo by leaping into the air and then slamming into the ground, dealing massive damage on impact. This move can be dodged and parried.
Wing Swoop
The Wooden Eagle readies its wings and performs a forward dash, attempting to attack the player using its wings. This move can be parried and dodged.
Eclipse Crash
Murong Yuan's blade glows red, then grabs on to the Wooden Eagle. The Wooden Eagle then launches four projectiles, which Murong Yuan follows up with a downward thrust after eclipsing the Wooden Eagle. This move can be perfectly parried to trigger a counterattack and dodged when timed correctly..
Blazing Sweep
The Wooden Eagle swipes at the player twice using its wings, moving forward with each swipe. This move can be parried and dodged.
Sword Cyclone
Murong Yuan throws her sword towards you, and then performs a yellow attack upon retrieving the sword. The sword throw can be parried and dodged, but the yellow slash can only be dodged and not parried.
Eagle Descent
Murong Yuan performs a feint, followed by leaping into the air, and then stabbing her sword downward with a red hue with AoE slashes on impact. The move is followed up by another aerial downward slash that can be perfectly parried to trigger a counterattack, and dodged when timed correctly.

Hero's Realm Murong Yuan Attack Pattern

Moves Details
Coward
Murong Yuan winds up her blade and leaps into the air to thrust her sword into the ground with a red hue and trigger AoE slashes on impact. We recommend moving away and dodging the AoE due to the excessive amount of hits it can deal.
Army Breaker
Murong Yuan targets a random player and winds up her blade to suddenly dash at her target to perform a series of slashes. This move can be parried and dodged when timed correctly.
Severance
Murong Yuan creates a shield around her and charges her blade on the ground to instantly kill all players on the field. We recommend that all players focus on destroying her shield within the 20-second duration to avoid losing the run.
Summon Firebird
Murong Yuan summons her Wooden Bird as it dives to the ground to charge up and deal a huge AoE explosion around itself. We recommend all players to focus on destroying the Firebird to get rid of the AoE explosion easily.
Sea of Fire
Murong Yuan's Wooden Bird will fly up and start charging a huge fire wave that builds up from left to right across the entire arena. We recommend all players to carry the barrels to the right side so you can avoid the one-shot explosion mechanic.
