Boss encounters
鬼差队长：火流星
Watch the red-light grab at the end of his chains. Summoned allies can occupy the reinforcements. In phase two, prioritize evasion when the red warning appears.
鬼差高手：斩骑
Watch the spear rush and time a parry as he closes in. After breaking his guard, use a sustained damage sequence.
堕落将军：武轩
His thick opening shield resists direct pressure. Blocking his attacks reduces it; once it breaks, execute him and continue attacking during the opening.
女妖骨婉约
Retreat when she buries her head in her arms to avoid the vision-obscuring move. If her scream immobilizes you, follow the on-screen escape prompt.
神医：谢秋冬
Attack the freely moving enemies first. He loses health when healing them; attacking the restrained enemies first risks being surrounded.
发狂的水行帮主：游龙
Desperate Cavalry Blade and Greedy Wolf provide health recovery while attacking. Build Pure Sha-Chi defensively and commit to the spinning attack after a guard break.
“雷枪”：长鸿
Back away while his spear is charged with lightning. Azure Snake medicine clears status buildup; the mounted phase can be countered with 斩骑符. Stay clear when the horse turns its rear toward you.
被面具控制的舞狮尊主：烈焰
Use You Loong Head to make him wet and suppress his fire moves. Do not keep spraying after the status is applied. During the pole sequence, clear the lesser enemies, then move between poles and counter the fireballs.
鬼差高手：勾魂
Stop attacking when his blade lights up in a counter stance. Striking that stance triggers retaliation and restores his Sha-Chi.
