Yin Tiger

What is the easiest way to cheese this garbage boss. I cannot stand the teleport into instant grab attack and the wildly inconsistent timings. I know the basic tips but he’s so poorly designed I just want to be done with him.

Learn the boss and beat him properly. He's literally 1 out of 5 hard bosses in the game, at least spend the time to enjoy the boss design.

Yin Tiger is a GREAT boss, not badly designed at all OP...

Are people really having trouble with this guy? Beat him the first time both times. Super telegraphed fight.

I just beat him and threw everything I had at him right from the start. Pluck, head, fire and a lot of dodging. Cloud step to heal and a heavy combo when I needed it the most.
Man that was the toughest fight I'v had so far. I also forgot to record it...

Woot, woot, congratz man!!! Welcome to the mile high club and extra curio buffs

Lol... what kind of question is this?

There are TONS of threads of normal folks having trouble, obviously people ARE having trouble.

Yea... We get it, some of you faceroll through content, but doesn't mean others will too.

The point of your post is completely irrelevant to your success.

I used a max upgraded Flame Circle with Rock Solid and it was a relatively easy fight. Given how often he vanishes, I find it better to stick to one place and let him do his thing rather than always trying to approach him. I typically find this combo best to learn boss fights, anyways.

His grab still sucks but almost every grab attack in this game does, save for I guess Erlang since 2 of 3 of his different grabs deal no damage.

he is the most fun boss i have come across yet. At ch4 currently myself. But bro that guy is absolutely awesome. I would just say know his moves and time your attacks.

I beat him with just cloud step and immobilize.

yeah you dont need anything else really anyway. People just want to sit back and watch a movie nowadays instead of playing.

Just managed to defeat the Yin Tiger. Took me about half an hour and 6-8 tries to beat.

What a cool freaking boss - no invulnerable phases, no projectile spam, just a tough standup fight between two heavily armed kung-furries. Probably my favourite fight in the game so far, I tend to like aggressive swordfighting bosses.

I notice that I can challenge him again, by the way. Is there any benefit for beating him twice, or is it just for fun?

He isn't poorly designed. You just suck at dodging/countering, and are not particularly interested in learning that.

There are [far] worse enemies later, you might want to start looking for cheese videos on youtube.

Get good.

Keep progressing, and go for him later
