Any tips for Mt. Mei secret boss?

[MrFoxhound]

Because I am getting my ass ROCKED!

Immobilization - Doesn't work
Veiled Strike - Doesn't work

The game allows you to fight your way for the entire game then puts you in this boss and just wants it to be a street fight. This fight is testing my patience. I put my points in Ring of FIre, but that is such a lame spell. I got him down to around 25% HP left but I was completely out of mana (which is a feat because I have 510 mana and my gourd refills a portion of my mana). I'm using the Yellow Loong summon and Non-Pure for my other summon and I was using the Weaver's Needle.

It's also hard to tell what is an attack and what is just flamboyant flailing around. Sometimes I dodge and there wasn't even an attack and other times I won't dodge and his random flailing actually was an attack.

Giving this guy a guard bar was another annoying part of the fight. Damage is reduced by what, 90% and he regains his guard after 1 solid combo while guard broken.

Such a frustrating fight!

Use your magick(clowdstep and ring of fire) defensively when you need to heal or take pills, rather then using them on CD, this way you'll get more value out of them. Ring of fire does good damage to his posture bar if you'll use it near him, though. Don't use clones, they don't do much.

And I quit. This is such an unfair fight. This was my GOTY until this fight, now it's definitely not. This fight is complete garbage. He has an answer for everything, no spells or any other stuff works at all to bring this guy down. I had him almost dead on my first fight, now I can't even get him to half health. Trash fight ruined this entire game for me.

Try the stone form transformation from chapter 2, works wonders on this guy.

It's fine.
Yeah, it definitely can feel overwhelming cause dude has like 9000 different moves, and apparently ancient Chinese invented lasers too
He took me 4 tries, but each try was 12-15 min cause I was afraid he'll bust out a never before seen grab move and one-shot me, so I used only single (rarely 2) light attack hits and then back off.
Everything else he casually brushes off (ain't nothing as 'satisfying' as him causally sidestepping your hard earned 3 focus points heavy attack )
I'd recommend taking a break, next day you'll be a lot better at it.

Yeah, I'm definitely walking away. I can't even see straight I'm so enraged right now.

Just use Plantain Fan its easily break his armor and use Sunset of the Nine Skies to recovery your Qi then use the fan again :)

That didn't work for me. I can't even walk after using Sunset. It also barely even recovered my Qi per use.

I found out what the fan is for after I finished the game :D

Fight took me a couple hours too. I used ring of fire mainly as it is a quick method to get out of critical range. I'd focus on learning to avoid his most lethal attacks first, if you do that those become opportunities instead and after that find out where his combo strings end for that's where he is vulnerable as well.

I used the Plantain Fan when was near one invisible wall, and he got stun for like 30s, I think this + monkey copies can do a lot of damage

1 : I reset all my points and put most of it into base stats.
2 : I used Wukong's set with The Golden Loong Staff and always in pillar stance. Be careful sitting on the pillar because he will target you with a lot of attacks though.
3 : Maxed Wandering Wight is a huge Shotgun to the face.
4 : Wind Tamer is reliable damage reduction.
5 : Ring of Fire and Cloud Strike (don't stay invis too long).
6 : Dry Spirit with purple veined peach pit and bee mountain stone.
Last : Don't be afraid to use "pills". This is what you save them for.

Other than that just think of losses as reps for your brain to adjust to his very-varied timing, as he's bby far the hardest boss in the game if it's the one I'm thinking of.
