To beat the final boss in the Bujian Mountain update of Where Winds Meet, evade wide sweeping attacks laterally rather than blocking, preserve a portion of your stamina bar at all times, and save high-damage burst abilities for post-attack recovery windows. Reinforce gear prior to entering the encounter to handle the boss's increased damage scaling in later phases.
Dodging and Countering Telegraphed Sweeps
The final boss of Bujian Mountain relies heavily on wide horizontal strikes and long-range energy waves. Blocking these attacks head-on quickly drains your guard meter and leaves you susceptible to follow-up combos.
- Lateral Evasion: Dodge to the side or behind the boss when a horizontal sweep begins. Positioning yourself behind the boss provides a window to land two to three heavy attacks before they reset their posture.
- Visual Cues: Watch for the boss to plant their weapon or emit a high-intensity glow. These animations signal incoming gap-closing dashes or energy waves.
- Guard Protection: Save your guard meter for fast, unpredictable light hits rather than spending it on readable heavy attacks.
Managing Stamina and Attack Rhythms
Stamina is your critical defensive resource. Over-committing to long attack sequences leaves you unable to dodge high-damage abilities such as telegraphed overhead slams.
- Use Short Attack Sequences: Execute short light-attack combos, then immediately disengage to create space.
- Avoid Total Depletion: Keep a reserve of stamina at all times to perform emergency roll evasions.
- Regenerate Distance: If stamina drops low, disengage and retreat. The boss's recovery windows after missed heavy attacks allow sufficient downtime to regenerate stamina passively.
Arena Positioning and Environment Control
Fighting along the perimeter of the Bujian Mountain arena restricts camera angles and blocks off-screen visibility, making jump attacks and long-range dashes difficult to react to.
- Center Control: Kite the boss toward the middle of the platform to maintain full 360-degree spatial awareness.
- Line-of-Sight Pathing: Force the boss to path around combat arena obstacles during forward charges. This delays their gap-closing attacks, providing safe openings to apply recovery items or quick buffs.
Timing Burst Skills and Status Effects
Using ultimate abilities while the boss is neutral often results in parries or dodges. Maximize your output by aligning your highest-investment skills with specific combat states.
| Phase / State | Boss Action | Recommended Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Neutral State | Idle or walking posture | Stick to light attacks; hold ultimate skills to prevent getting parried. |
| Recovery Window | Completing major signature moves | Unleash high-cooldown skills and damage bursts while recovery frames run. |
| Early Encounter | Moderate attack aggression | Apply damage-over-time (DOT) and status effects to wear down the boss's health. |
| Final Phase | High attack aggression | Shift to defensive movement and rely on active DOTs to finish the fight safely. |

The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
This saved me time in the early game.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
Nice guide. I am checking the other Where Winds Meet articles next.
