The fight
2 phases, each with a full health bar. When the first is empty, a cutscene turns him into a snake, in the same arena: he gets faster, dives under the water and his water-powered spear attacks hit from range more often. No checkpoint between the phases.
One set: damage stays physical in both phases, with no shrine or checkpoint in between. Save Red Tides, Immobilize and your spirit for the second phase.
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
- No documented status effect: physical blows and water attacks.
Attacks to watch
- Phase 2, spinning thrust: a wide slash then a long-range lunging thrust; heal right away if both land.
- Phase 2, frontal water shockwave: step to the side.
- Phase 1, spear throw: it also hits on the way back.
What works
- Immobilize at the start, then again as soon as he takes his snake form; the Evanescence and Easy Prey talents make it pay off more. Immobilize, Evanescence, Easy Prey
- Wandering Wight spirit: its skill takes a big chunk of his health, about 30%. Wandering Wight
- Red Tides: finishing the first phase quickly saves your gourd sips for the second. Red Tides
Strategy
- Before the fight, defeat the snake upstairs to rescue Shen Monkey, then talk to him in his cave: he upgrades your gourd.
- Dodge sideways, never backwards.
- Save your resources for the second phase.
- If you reach the second phase low on gourd sips, start over rather than push on.
Access
Marsh of White Mist, Bamboo Grove: from the shrine, go down the wooden stairs to the misty lake. Mandatory: he blocks the way to Black Wind Cave.
