Gu Wanyue, The Wailing Wraith: boss guide

PowerPyx names her Gu Wanyue, The Wailing Wraith; Game8 lists her as Gu Wanyue, a Maskwalker-type boss of The Heart's Trail. The Chinese guide we cross-checked, from Gamersky, calls her 女妖骨婉约. We matched the two by name, place and order, and found no official English-Chinese pairing. Reported · PowerPyx

How the fight goes

What both guides agree on

GameRant says she is not one of the more challenging bosses in the game, but a couple of attacks need attention. Gamersky rates the fight as very low difficulty and also singles out two moves. Neither guide describes separate phases. These are the outlets' own impressions, not tested results.

GameRant's two warnings

GameRant says one attack is a projectile that you need to parry so that it hits her. The other is a Red Flash grab, which you need to be ready to dodge. Red marks mean dodge in this game, so that fits the usual rule.

Gamersky's two moves

Gamersky says that in one move she buries her head in her arms and blocks your view; move away as soon as you see it. In the other she roars and briefly takes control of your character; press the on-screen prompt at once to break free. We cannot tell whether this roar is the same attack as GameRant's grab. A note in the Gamersky article says the picture shown is not of her.

How to beat Gu Wanyue

• Parry the projectile so that it flies back into her (GameRant).
• Dodge the Red Flash grab instead of trying to parry it (GameRant).
• When she hides her face in her arms, step back straight away (Gamersky).
• When the roar grabs you, tap the prompt that appears to break free (Gamersky).
• After the fight, GameRant and PowerPyx both point to the well beside the arena: it holds a Memory Flower, and GameRant says it leads on to the Mandate Encampment Outer Gate Key.
