How to Beat Zhuyan in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty

- Boss Fight Tips
Things to Do First
After completing the first mission, you should be at Level 5, which is the recommended level to take on Two Chivalrous Heroes. Zhuyan starts the fight with 10 morale, so plant flags to boost your Fortitude Rank. Depending on your battle results, you may even have 10 morale now.
You should already have Enhanced Defense Wizardry Spell, but Absorb Vitality is also useful. When you inflict damage, it temporarily restores HP, which is handy for staggered enemies and saves you from using a dragon’s cure pot. Level up your Wood virtue to three and learn Lightning Bolt to use this spell.
Boss Fight Tips
The key to fighting Zhuyan is to watch its movement speed, not its attack speed. The boss can move quickly and cover the whole arena like he’s The Flash.
To keep track of its movements, use the lock-on feature. Your best bet is to avoid Zhuyan’s swipes and ground pounds. You can’t get behind the beast either, as its core move involves a 360-degree tail sweep, so you’ll have to stay away from it.
If you want to beat Zhuyan, you have to prepare for his Critical Blow attacks. You have to deflect a powerful double-footed kick just as its feet approach you.
When it’s coming, Zhuyan does a quick backflip, pauses with its feet stationary, and then lunges into the kick, spinning as it does.
If Zhuyan’s unblockable attack connects, it can boost his morale so deflecting it becomes that much more important. The good news is that he’s vulnerable for a few seconds after the move, so you can get some free hits.
Combos with spirit attacks can significantly deplete Zhuyan’s spirit gauge, pushing it into the red.
Zhuyan’s unblockable attack consumes some of his spirit, so deflecting it and then launching a spirit combo may stagger him, giving you a chance to kill him.
Note
Zhuyan’s second Critical Blow involves slamming its fists repeatedly into the ground. At first, this looks like a regular attack, but it’s actually a Critical Blow that culminates in a final attack.
During this attack, Zhuyan raises both fists before leaping into the air and crashing them. Watch out for both of these powerful moves and be ready to deflect them to win.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Zhuyan Boss Fight Rewards
As I discussed in my Genuine Qi farming guide, Zhuyan is a great boss if you want to farm Qi. You get 35,00 Qi and 3,015 Copper. You also get 4-6 items on each run and then sell those items at Batlle Flags for more Copper. Zhuyan is the perfect boss to farm if you want to level up fast in Wo Long: Dynasty.
