While she might only be a sub-boss in this fight, with the main event lying in wait at the end of the mission, Baishe will give you a run for your money if you’re not prepared. She has a ton of wide-ranged attacks, and she can produce several pools of poison to hinder you. Defeating Baishe is the only way to progress the level.
Baishe Boss Fight Strategy
More often than not, Baishe will begin the fight by firing outsix or so globes of poison. They will fire off randomly from her in all directions,creating a small pool of poisonwherever they land. These pools should be avoided simply because they will inflict you with the poison debuff if you stand in them too long.
The poison pools are small and easy to navigate, so you’ll probably find that themost troubling of her attacks is a tail swipethat has an incredibly deceptive range, completely covering her in a circle. This means itwill hit you if you’re standing behindher, so keep that in mind.
You can clear out the poison pools, which count as Earth magic,by using Wood magic.
For example, enchanting your weapon withlightning while near the poisonwill cause them to dissipate.
Baishe will use her tail attack several times throughout the fight if you’re trying to stay at medium range. When close, you’ll find she only uses it if you’re behind her. This means the next attack to keep an eye on is her flurry of close-quarter swings.
You might find that before she launches this attack, she will dodge to the left, right, or towards you to reposition.Time your swings carefullyand wait for her to finish dodging to get a hit in, andthen be prepared to block.
Baishe Critical Strikes
Baishe usestwo powerful Critical Strikes in this fight, with one being much harder to deflect than the other. If you can deflect the tougher one, you’re rewarded with a significant stagger, bringing Baishe down for a good two seconds or so.
Her second critical strike is rarer, only coming out when she’s at low HP.
This boss fight will be the first time you might see your Followers getting killed. Sadly, they become increasingly useless as you progress through the game, andyou shouldn’t be relying on them too heavily from now on. With that said, you have Cao Cao with you by default, buthaving an extra Follower won’t hurt you in this fight.
There seems to be something about this fight that causes the boss to attack your Followers more aggressively than you. You might find that Cao Cao and whoever else you brought with youwill be tanking them in a corner somewhere,complaining about being hit so much.
Use this to your advantage to rack up a multi-hit combo and finish it off with a charged attack, followed by a reliable Martial Arts move.
Giving Baishemore Followers to deal withwill further occupy her, giving you breathing room.
Except for one Critical Strike,Baishe’s physical and standard attacks are extremely easy to deflect. They are slow and well-telegraphed, meaning you can deflect a bunch to create openings and slowly decrease her overall Spirit Gauge with successful deflections.
One main strategy for defeating Baishe isperfecting the deflect timingon her grab Critical Strike since it opens a huge window of opportunity.
If you’re getting grabbed more often than you’re deflecting this strike, you shouldspecifically dodge away from herduring this strike.
Past half HP, she will power up and create an AoE of red thorns like other bosses.During this frenzy, she will attack faster and pull out different moves. Notably, she will useher second Critical Strike. While Baishe is powering up,you can stay close and get in several strong hits.
You cansummon your Divine Beast to staggerher during her charging-up animation.
While enraged, she will fly around the arena a lot and throw several strong attacks at you.Your best bet is to block and risk deflections when you feel comfortable. If you can deflect her spinning Critical Strike, you’llknock her down and interrupt herfrenzy for a short period.
During this time, keep up your attacks andhit her with fatal strikes when you break her guard.She’s only a sub-boss, so she shouldn’t give you too much trouble,especially if you have two Followers with you.
Eventually, you’ll outlast her and be able to proceed to the next part of the mission, where Zhang Rang is waiting for you as the next boss.
