Boss fights inWuchang: Fallen Feathersfeel like the heart of the game. And some of the toughest boss fights feel like a wall put in your path, one that climbing over takes skill, focus and a bit of stubbornness. It’s not enough to swing your weapon harder than they hit; survival usually comes down to reading their patterns, preparing the right weapons and keeping your cool when everything is trying to kill you.
The bosses on this list stand out because they hit harder, fight longer and force you to stay sharp from start to finish. No matter how you approach them, they test your patience and combat skills.
Sorceress Who floods the Arena with Spells and Summons
Bo Magus is a sorceress who forces you to deal with projectiles, summoned skeletons and shield mechanics all at once. She doesn’t crumble to most statuses, but Burn chips away effectively. Corruption also works in moderation, but you’ll mainly want to focus on handling her tricks. She starts with a barrage of Magic Feathers that home in on you, but don’t panic, simply dodge through them or roll to the side as they close in. Next, she hurls her spear with dangerous accuracy. If you dodge forward instead of back, you may often end up right beside her, perfect for a punish. At intervals, she calls in skeleton allies, which can overwhelm if ignored. Clear them quickly so the arena doesn’t get crowded.
Once her health drops to a certain level, she raises a glowing shield and begins preparing a devastating Ultimate. This move summons a massive sword that slams into the arena, followed by shockwaves. you’re able to stop her by breaking the shield before the ultimate finishes. The good thing is that the shield is not based on health; rapid multi-hit weapons such as dual blades or light combos are excellent for tearing it down. Disrupting her Ultimate is the heart of the fight. Tools like Rampage (Axe) or Upward Force (Spear) cancel her casting if you land them at the right moment. You can also useconsumable itemsthat restore stamina so you can keep chasing her when she retreats.
7Demon of Obsession
No Escape if You Try to Run
The Demon of Obsession is an optional boss, but she’s dangerous if you come unprepared. She uses a spear and mixes physical combos with lightning and magic effects. Unlike other bosses, her poise breaks easily, which makes clash-heavy styles effective.
The trick to fighting her is reading her spear combos. If you respond correctly, she staggers often, letting you slip behind and land heavy punishes. While she doesn’t fall into an Obliterate state the same way other bosses do, repeated staggers keep her locked down and prevent her from chaining too many dangerous spells. This fight favors those who enjoy consistent deflect timing and trading blows rather than evasive play. If you attempt to run away the whole time, her spear covers the distance quickly. If you stand your ground and counter, she cracks surprisingly fast.
6Bo Sorcerer
Her Moves are Difficult to Predict
Bo Sorcerer mixes fast martial attacks with heavy magic, which makes her harder to predict than other casters. Her scariest attack is where the entire battlefield gets filled with a whirling column of water. The only safe response is to disengage, unlock your camera and time perfect dodges through the edge of the storm. Surviving this gives you a chance to stack Skyborn Might if you manage those dodges correctly. Because she spends so much time in the air or at range, the best opportunities to punish are right after she lands from a long combo.
If you helped the White-Robed Elder during his side quest, you’re able to summon him for this fight. His presence divides her focus, which is priceless in a battle where her ranged pressure is constant. While she’s chasing him, you can set up your big attacks without risk.
5Commander Honglan
Her Sword Can Take You Out in One Strike
Commander Honglan fightswith a sword that can almost take you out in one strike. So you should come into this battle prepared with defensive gear. Gear like Centipede Armor give excellent protection against sword damage. Pendants that raise agility or restore stamina faster help you stay sharp, since this fight rewards reactive play. Using a weapon discipline like Sword Counter with the Lashing Whip can make her life harder, because it encourages you to block and deflect her precise swings.
The fight begins with her establishing control of the arena. She throws out quick combos of slashes and thrusts, most of which are designed to be deflected. Meeting her strike with a perfect deflect weakens her poise and slowly builds toward a stagger. When you break her stance, you can get behind and deal heavy punishment. What makes her challenging is her balance, as she doesn’t have one giant ultimate move to exploit, but instead tests your consistency across the whole fight.
4Perfect Bride Fang Ling
Meet Aggression with Aggression
Fang Ling is one of the most aggressive bosses. She charges with wild energy, swinging her blades with heavy momentum and roaring to interrupt your flow. To counter her, you need both stability and the right pendants. The Dracolich Pendant keeps you from staggering when she roars, which would otherwise leave you helpless. You need to wear armor that protects against slash, stab and poise damage like the North General sets.
Her attack patterns can feel overwhelming. She mixes heavy swipes with quick jabs, and in some sequences, she chains long strings together. The safest method is to meet her aggression head-on with clashes or perfectly timed deflects rather than just dodging away. Each time she gets stunned, you can take your turn to deal some damage with heavier swings. This fight is all about pressure. If you stay defensive the whole time, Fang Ling keeps overwhelming you, but if you push back with clashes and aggressive counters, she eventually cracks.
3Sovereign Zhang Xianzhong
Be Ready to Deal with Lunges, Claw Swipes and Electrified Stomps
Zhang Xianzhong transforms into a tiger-like beast charged with lightning. He’s one of the most intimidating bosses visually, but his weaknesses make him manageable. He’s weak to Burn and Paralysis, which lets you tilt the fight in your favor if you prepare. The first thing you’ll want is lightning resistance. His electric attacks deal both raw damage and build paralysis, which can end the fight early if you’re careless. Gear that cushions lightning damage keeps you in control.
His first phase is built around lunges, claw swipes and electrified stomps. He often pauses after ground slams or beam attacks, which are your best chances to move in. Rolling forward through the shockwave of a slam usually places you right at his side, where you may punish with heavy swings. In his second phase, he summons more lightning-based abilities and grows more aggressive. Fortunately, two NPC allies (Nian Suichang and Huang Jian’e) can join you. They won’t carry the fight, but they draw attention away and create breathing space. While he’s chasing one of them, you can unload into his flank.
2Zhu Youjian
Keep Your Distance from the Dual-Phase Boss
The Reborn Dragon Emperor is a two-phase boss that tests both your endurance and adaptability. In phase one, Zhu attacks with lunges, wide sweeps, stomps that send waves outward, and sudden charges. The best approach is spacing yourself so you’re never cornered. His leaps and dashes look threatening, but sidestepping at the right time sets him up for counters.
Phase two is where he becomes overwhelming. He begins using World Ender, a massive rolling orb that explodes twice with huge shockwaves. He also fires long-range air slashes and fills the arena with AoE magic. Staying too close during these attacks is risky; it’s better to stay mobile and look for the moment the orb stops moving.
1Feathery Ambition Xuanyangzi
Requires a Great Deal of Patience
Xuanyangzi is the final boss of the game and for good reason. He fills the battlefield with wide swings, aerial strikes and shockwaves that punish your sloppy movement. His weakness lies in Paralysis, Burn and Blight, so loading up on weapons or spells that spread those statuses gives you a steady advantage. Burn especially pays off because it keeps hurting him while you regroup. He likes to leap into the sky with moves such as Avian Predator or Skyfall, then slam down with crushing force. The trick is not to roll too early. Wait until he starts descending and then dodge at the last second. He also fires off wing slams, claw swipes and waves of energy, all designed to push you into defensive mistakes. Staying right in front of him is the worst choice; circling around or slipping behind him gives you safe opportunities to counter.
The battle feels overwhelming because he quickly chains attacks. This is why summoning the Storyteller as soon as you enter is important. The extra body divides his attention, which buys you breathing room. Each time you dodge cleanly, you should be looking for quick damage, not a full combo. Greed gets punished in this fight more than any other.
