Where Winds Meet features more than twelve World Bosses, each with unique attack patterns and mechanics to learn. After clearing the toxic fog from the Mistveil Forest, you’ll be able to locate and battle a World Boss there.

The Ghost Master specializes in possession and fights from a distance using a crimson umbrella to control the battle. Here’s everything you need to know to succeed against her, including how to dodge her attacks.

Ghost Master Location

The Ghost Master can be found in the northeast part of Mistveil Forest in Keifeng. She is only accessible after you clear the fog in that area as part of the Encounter quest called The Ephemeral Blight. You can begin this quest by trying to venture into the forest.

Fight Walkthrough

The battle starts with the Ghost Master conjuring two umbrellas and throwing them at you in an arc. Dodging these can be challenging because they track your movements. The best strategy is to parry them to avoid damage.

She also has two melee umbrella attacks. The first involves a quick swipe to the left, then right—parry the second hit, but the first can be dodged or parried. After enough practice, parrying both hits becomes easier.

A similar attack involves her spinning and sending out the umbrella, which hits three times as it circles her. This attack starts similarly to her melee strikes, but the timing for parries is different, so approaches should be cautious.

Her red attack looks like her melee umbrella swings, but she disappears afterward and reappears behind you, dashing forward with her umbrella. Parry this hit to counterattack effectively.

The gold attack involves her vanishing repeatedly, then reappearing to strike. You can hear an accompanying sound effect that signals her reappearance, which helps you dodge in time.

One of her most exploitable moves is when she floats backward into the air, then summons multiple small umbrellas. She fires these at you at regular intervals before diving at you. Parrying each umbrella deals significant damage to her Qi gauge. Be sure to dodge the dive attack afterward, as it has a longer wind-up than the umbrellas.

Phase 2

In the second phase, her umbrella attack is slower and involves swiping with a closed umbrella. Once she begins winding up, you have a brief window to attack before she parries the first hit, and another for the second hit.

Immediately after, she summons four spirits that attack you. When they die, they leave a circular area that inflicts Possessed status, freezing you temporarily. This opens you up to an uninterruptible attack from her.

If you don’t kill the spirits quickly, she will automatically possess you, so swift elimination is crucial. Area-of-effect weapons work well here.

Next, she performs two quick slashes, then jumps into the air and slams her umbrella down, causing a second damaging hit. Moving out of the area in time will prevent the second strike.

Spider Lily Attack and Spider Lilies

Later in the fight, she moves to the arena’s center and calls down spider lilies that explode upon hitting the ground. Staying stationary and parrying incoming energy waves is the best way to handle this. Only move if a lily drops directly overhead.

If you parry several hits of this attack, you’ll also chip away at her Qi gauge significantly.

Tips for the Fight

The battle can be tough but manageable with proper strategy. Summoning an ally like Yi Dao can help draw spirits’ attention, giving you room to attack and evade more easily. Focus on timing your parries and dodges to prevent taking heavy damage, and stay alert to her attack signals.

This fight’s mechanics require patience and precise timing, but with practice, you’ll be able to overcome the Ghost Master.
