With what you can get before this boss, in your first cycle.
Editor's pick Bronze Monkey set: 74 base Defense and +7 Burn Resistance (Mask and Armguard); 2 pieces: extra damage when breaking an immobilization; 4 pieces: Immobilize's cooldown drops sharply. All 4 pieces need 6 Silk; otherwise, the Armguard and Buskins (1 Silk each) already give the 2-piece bonus. The Fireproof Mantle and the set come from Elder Jinchi: without him, keep the Serpentscale pieces.

The Agate Jar is inside his arena: it will help against the Black Bear Guai, not against him.
The fight
A single health bar, no mid-fight cutscene: he regularly turns into a wind orb that rushes at you, then creates a big wind circle in the middle of the arena. Once beaten, he flees to the peak: that is the Black Bear Guai, his true form, a separate fight with a shrine in between.
One set: the Burn from his breath is a threat throughout. Between this fight and the Black Bear Guai, a shrine lets you change everything.
Spells, transformation and soaks are set at a Keeper's Shrine, never mid-fight: what you bring into a fight stays until the end. Nothing reliable confirms that armor can be swapped mid-fight: a page only offers a per-phase variant when a shrine or a checkpoint separates the phases.
What it inflicts
- Burn, from the fire he spews after drinking from his gourd.
Attacks to watch
- 3-hit spear combo: dodge each hit.
- Wind orb: he rushes at you then comes right back, so ready a second dodge.
- Vanishing, then crashing down from above with heavy splash damage.
What works
- Hit him while he drinks: a full light combo interrupts him and he does not spew fire.
- Immobilize as soon as he returns to human form, then attack. Immobilize
- Fireproof Mantle: strong Burn Resistance. Fireproof Mantle
- Red Tides right at the start of the fight, with heavy attacks. Red Tides
Strategy
- Rest at the Cave Interior shrine before going in.
- Stay out of the central wind circle, and land a charged heavy attack when he takes form again.
- When he is far away, running heavy attack; after his 3-hit combos, always a light combo.
Access
