I've made it to phase 3 about two dozen times, and i still don't get how to dodge her gimmick attack. it makes no visual sense

I just broke my control fighting this mf😭

I did the quick charge for the sword, and the QI spending for each charged attack. With hedgehog and quick heal

How to recover an arrow after a talisman explodes??

change it to story mode, try and fail again and again like me, then just watch the ending on KZbin like I did and uninstall the game. I loved the game up until the end boss, then it was no fun anymore and I gave up.

"Why are you hitting yourself, why are you hitting yourself" ahh Eigong.

5:45 How do you know to Unbound Counter after this kick? If it's not a red attack from the air, you'll probably get hit with a different attack as you have to commit to the Unbound Counter? Hope that question makes sense lol

3:41 in fact, she really is

This boss is brutal. You’ll die ALLOT. At first it’ll seem like straight bullshit, and in some cases it is. The difficulty spike is through the roof. But once you get the hang of it, even if you’re still dying to her, the fight will become fun, and you’ll start trying to perfect each phase. If you didn’t master this game up to this boss, you will after. Dont go into this boss thinking you’re just going to win. Go into this boss with the mind set that you’re going to lose allot. Especially if you want the good ending. Go into it with the mindset that you’re not trying to master the whole fight, go into it with the mindset that you’re trying to master each phase. I promise you, it will click. I haven’t beaten her yet BTW. Normally I rage at bosses that take me this long to fight but this boss is a genuinely fun fight. Sure, it does feel like bullshit sometimes, but once you start getting through phases without a single hit, that in of itself will feel like an accomplishment. Stick with it, you can do it.

using the divine hand jade on this boss is insanely good, you can unbound counter every attack from the 4 hit opener in 2nd phase, aswell as predict her dash triple slash to get 3 more unbound counters stacking of some crazy amounts of internal damage. the feeling of stacking up enough internal damage through hedgehog jade and divine hand jade with taichi kicks and unbound counters to one shot each phase is immaculate.

You need to be hyper focus to play with eigong, i managed first phase and half, the rest i used infinite health trainer, no time.

3:06 in my run she does a red attack after 3 hits on the air.

Hmmmm there's something strange with your video, you perfect parry all the hit but why are you taking red damage (internal damage)? If you perfect parry you should not lose anything in fact your red health (internal damage) would be healed and it will turn to green again. You take green damage if you get hit, red damage if you parry but not perfect and heal red damage if you perfect parry. Would you mind explaining why you take red damage even if you perfect parry?

I'm amazed no one ever use charged attack vs Eigong, it is super effective and deals much more damage compared to perfect parry. And you can perfect parry on top of that. Also, why do you always taichi kick the talsiman attack? Just evade and charge attack, it give you more damage and less risk. On 2nd and 3rd form it even guarantee that she will not use the bomb she will always use 2 hit one upward, one downward and then a red attack.

Wait, maybe it's a talisman I forgot about, but why are you taking internal dmg on perfect parries?

I really recommend Full Control with Steely Jade and Reciprocation Jade. First one makes you immortal (all damage is transferred to internal) while detonating talisman (though not grab immune), second one lets you to transfer big chunk of internal damage back to Eigong. I usually run my talismans at around Eigong head level so she can't grab me and then I'm waiting for talisman into slash/slash/red downward slash to Unbounded Counter it and transfer damage back to her. Also worth noting that 5 QI Full Control actually forces her on her knees, what stops 100% moves in first two phases, though not 3 phase full screen combo. I think it's worth practicing Unbounded counter for bomb attacks, shockwave attacks, and talisman into slash/slash/red downward slash combo. Then you can really easily diffuse internal damage and basically crush first two phases. For phase 3 full screen combo I actually prefer to jump red attack without dashing because then you will naturally fall down to Taichi Kick talisman move of Eigong if she goes for it. I think it taken only 3 detonations (and 5 arrows) to kill her in third phase, so it felt pretty efficient.

I think what many guides sleep on is her unsheathe attack. It’s a prime punish opportunity even though it doesn’t look like one. But it’s very easy to dodge away from the slashes with the talisman dash, making it the best method to damage her actually.

water flow carries me through the first 2 phases. with it, you can talisman after the unsheathe attack, after the normal dash attack, and after the two hit combo with the slow windup (though its very hard to know what side she is attacking from afterwards, so i don't go for it.)

Sorry if this is a stupid question: Why do you have Yi's heart icon like.. patched? I think i got most of the game completed and i still have the normal beating heart on Yi D:

Having a hard time on the 3rd phase

Cool video! Really appreciate you laying out some of the ordering of when she does things. I've logged 37 hours of playtime on my save so far, and it was 26 when I got to this fight 😭. Two things I can't get my head around: 1) With her triple attacks, both the standard one where she dashes and there are 3 strikes, and the phase 3 one: do you need to be facing in certain directions? I can parry the standard one, I have some weird muscle memory going on where I alternate where I'm facing, but not sure how necessary that is. For the phase 3 one I just can't figure it out, it seems very random whether I parry successfully or not (might just be me sucking at timing :P) 2) From phase 1 she has the attack where she teleports above you with a crimson attack, you talk about it at 0:37. I can't unbound counter enough, and if I try dash, there's like a 50/50 chance whether I'm able to clear the hitbox or not. Any tips for how to dash away from it more reliably? Thanks so much! I feel like I'm _so close_...just need the last few bits to click

the learning curve for the three phase is so brutal, i can hitless the first phase and 2 heal the second phase but learning the third phase is tough cause it takes 8 mins to reach it every time

There's a THIRD PHASE!!!!! I gave up and came to this KZbin video after dying immediately on my three attempts that made it to phase two. I'm never gonna beat this

Note for the second phase opener- you should release the button about when she opens her eyes again

what am i doing wrong for the first phase. after talasman I'm still in the air and her down red slash hits me before I can even get a full counter in

wow i uh...don't have any of the jades you used for this i may have made a mistake ...I can't exactly go back for most of them, so what do i do now?:

I finished it on standard yippee 🥳

usefull tutrorial, shouldve watched this before setting it to easy mode but oh well

Nah that 3rd phase got me fucking tweaking
