Ghost Master Best Companion

The best companion to bring against Ghost Master would be Yi Dao due to his ability to draw aggro, especially during the Boss' vanishing attacks, and the second phase summons.

Yi Dao can also quickly exhaust Ghost Master with his heavy attacks, allowing you to quickly burst down the Boss by combining Yi Dao's heavy attacks with your own parries.

Yi Dao Location and How to Beat

How to Beat Ghost Master (World Boss)


Parry the Umbrella Barrage to Exhaust Her

Ghost has a move where she floats high up in the air to unleash a barrage of umbrella projectiles that follows up with a dive attack. We recommend parrying each projectile so you can completely exhaust her Qi bar to give you an opening for burst damage and unleash an Execute attack.

Parry the Spider Lilies During Second Phase

During the second phase, instead of launching umbrella projectiles, Ghost Master will call forth Spider Lilies that cause ground shockwaves on impact. Parrying the shockwaves will cause Ghost Master to take substantial Qi bar damage, allowing you to easily exhaust her.

How to Beat Ghost Master (Hero's Realm)



Destroy the Sedan

During the fight, a carriage with a red shield will appear - focus on attacking it. Once the threshold is reached, Ghost Master will cast Phantom’s Return and jump inside the sedan, at this point, destroy it immediately. The initial AoE hit from this mechanic can be blocked to reduce incoming damage.

Handle Multiple Sedans in Later Phases

As the fight progresses, Ghost Master will begin spawning two carriages at once, and later three simultaneously. DPS each carriage down to its health threshold before destroying them. These phases act as DPS checks, so clean execution and target priority are key.

Carry the Sedan Away from AoE Damage During Into the Sedan

During the later phases, Ghost Master casts Into the Sedan, trapping a player inside a carriage. Two assigned players must pick up and carry the sedan away from incoming AoE attacks. Movement must be coordinated carefully, as poor positioning can cause overlaps or damage the trapped player.

Later in the fight, two players will be trapped at once, requiring four players to split up and carry both carriages away. Meanwhile, the rest of the team should keep the boss positioned safely and continue dealing damage.
