Heavenfall Walkthrough and Rewards

How to Beat River Master



Counterattack by Parrying His Energy Ball

The Dragon King will charge a powerful energy ball and shoot it from a ranged distance. We recommend parrying it to throw it back at them.

Successfully parrying their charged attack will stun and stagger the boss for a short period of time. Capitalize this moment by performing your offensive.

Evade The Dragon King's Skills

The Dragon King arsenal involves powerful unblockable attacks. This leaves you no option but to dodge and evade them.

We recommend positioning far behind the battlefield to give you enough space to react and dodge the moves of Dragon King.

Focus On Parrying His Melee Attacks

The River Master will perform aggressive sword attacks during phase 2. We recommend playing around with parrying his combos, especially the last strike, which glows red.

Parrying the River Master's attack will burn his Qi Bar and set you up for powerful Execute attacks.
