Having proven his discipline, strength, and understanding through the preceding trials, Kliff must now face the evil spirit that has been corrupting Jijeong Temple. The spirit has taken root beneath the temple itself, and defeating it requires descending into a newly opened passage below the main hall.4455Quest Details667788DetailInfoChapterChapter 9: The Sage of the DesertSub-ChapterSix Pensive Statues and the Evil SpiritRegionJijeong Temple (underground)Quest TypeBoss FightPrerequisiteTrue StrengthBossTemple Evil Spirit99Objectives10101111Return to Jijeong Temple via the Abyss NexusDescend into the newly opened passage beneath the main hallNavigate the underground cavern to the spirit's chamberDefeat the evil spiritReturn to the surface and speak with the Chief Monk12121313Boss Fight: Evil Spirit14141515The evil spirit is an Abyss-corrupted entity that uses shadow-based attacks and teleportation.

Defeat the copies before attacking the main spirit.The shadow copies mimic Kliff's moveset but deal reduced damage. Take them out quickly with area-of-effect attacks.Once the copies are destroyed, the spirit is stunned for several seconds. Use your strongest combo during this window.24242525Tips26262727Abyss-resistance consumables are highly recommended.
