Revision 1

Acolyte Yanru is an optional boss in Village of Lu in Phantom Blade Zero. The fight mixes fire projectiles, ground hazards and attacks from diving copies.

Encounter details

Prepare for fire

Flameward reduces fire damage and Burn buildup, making it useful before entering this encounter. Against the ordinary consecutive fireballs, blocking can deflect the projectiles back and pressure the boss's Sha-Chi.

Interrupt the cast

When Yanru summons fireballs at your position, a melee hit or a Flying Dagger attack can interrupt the casting. Move in only while you can still read the next attack.

Dodge the diving copies

When Yanru rises into the air, prioritize movement around the diving clones and fireballs. Their ground fire can keep damaging the area even after a projectile has been blocked. At close range, move to the side when a spin signals the flamethrower, then attack from a safer angle while Yanru stays in place.

Reward

Defeating Yanru awards Yanru's Blazing Mask.
