Whiteclad Noble Boss Fight and Guide
Whiteclad Noble has 2 phases. Prepare yourself, because the battle will not be easy!
In phase 1, the Whiteclad Noble will use basic attacks with his spear, combined with the ability to create waves of water.
Spear Swings: A series of consecutive spear attacks, usually two quick attacks, followed by a slow thrust, or three slow attacks.
Jumping Lunge: Whiteclad Noble jumps up and thrusts his spear towards you.
360-degree Spin: He spins, creating a vortex of water around him.
Spear Throw: Whiteclad Noble throws his spear at you.
Water Waves: He spins his spear, creating waves of water that attack from a distance.
The strategy in phase 1 is to keep a safe distance, avoid standing too close to avoid being hit by chain attacks. Take advantage of punishable attacks: After the Whiteclad Noble performs some attacks, he will have a short period of time to recover. This is when you can attack. For example:
- After the Jumping Lunge, dodge and attack immediately.
- After the 360-degree Spin, dodge inward and attack.
- After avoiding the Water Waves and Spear Throw, quickly close in and counterattack.
- Use the Immobilize Spell to interrupt his combo chain, creating an opportunity to attack.
In phase 2, when the Whiteclad Noble‘s health bar is low, he will transform into a snake form, becoming faster and more dangerous.
360-degree Spin (harder to recognize): The spin attack is still used, but it is more difficult to recognize because the spear will sink into the water.
Frontal Sweep: He sweeps the spear horizontally.
Diagonal Water Waves: Instead of straight water waves, he creates diagonal waves. Water Slam: He slams the spear down, creating a column of water that attacks in a straight line. Healing: Important: If you don’t deal enough damage, the Whiteclad Noble can heal when in the water.
The strategy in phase 2 is to attack continuously, do not let the Whiteclad Noble have a chance to heal. Utilize Transformation, use your transformation ability to enhance your strength. Use the Spirit Skill combo, this is our “trump card.” Combo: Wandering Wight + Immobilize Spell. How to perform: Wait for the Whiteclad Noble to be below 50% health and wait for him to start a long combo chain. Then use the Immobilize Spell to fix him, then perform 3 normal attacks, and finally activate the skill of the Wandering Wight. This combo will deal a huge amount of damage, which can finish off the Whiteclad Noble immediately, or at least weaken him significantly.
Immediately after defeating the Whiteclad Noble, don’t leave! Search around the swamp area. You will find the third bell to open the hidden map, Ancient Guanyin Temple. The bell Is hidden in a small valley, to the left of the area where you just fought.
