11 The Godpattern-Infected Gatebreaker is an early Boss Encounter in Honor of Kings: World. It is fought during Jixia Chapter 4: Jixia Secrets after the player enters Guiling Return Mausoleum with Dongfang Yao and Xi Shi. The fight happens immediately after the party drops through the mausoleum gate interior, which makes it the first clear boss check of the chapter.
