Yucong is a tough boss in Phantom Blade Zero, as there will be three puppets whom you need to defeat in this fight. It is going to be difficult for you to defeat all of them at once when they gang up to attack you. But with good weapons and accessories, this fight would not be difficult. In this guide, we’ll go over the best equipment to use and how to defeat all three puppets.
Best Weapons and Accessories
As far as the weapons go, utilise Blazing Edge and White Shadow. The former is essential to this mission, so you must have it equipped. You should also have Marshall Edge Fire Meteor Phantom Edge. This puppet has an area-of-effect attack known as Force Cyclone that will damage several monsters simultaneously. In addition, this puppet enhances your damage mitigation skills, hence increasing the chances of survival after all three puppets gang up on you. Do not forget to equip yourself with Green Serpent Brew. Here are the accessories:
- Feather Fan Plum: Increases your elemental damage against enemies by 30%.
- Ancient Armour Fragment: Improves your survivability by making you more tanky.
- Remnant Spark Cube: Increases your Phantom Edge damage.
- Miraculous Scabbard: Provides Super Armour and damage reduction whenever you switch your main weapon. This is particularly useful because you’ll be switching weapons frequently.
- Quickhand Might: Increases the damage of two-handed weapons. Since both your weapons are two-handed, this is a nice bonus.
- Aite Whisk: Restores your Remnant Spark, allowing you to use your Phantom Edge more frequently.
How to Defeat All Three Puppets
When initiating battle, concentrate on Steel Puppet One and allow her to come at you. The other puppets usually will not attack unless you come to them or the health of Steel Puppet One gets too low. It is a good idea to have your focus on one enemy and not all three at once. In case the other puppets attack you, try using your Phantom Edge move to strike multiple enemies.
Whenever you break an enemy’s guard, take advantage of the opening. This is your best opportunity to deal as much damage as possible. Use your strongest attacks and keep the pressure on until you defeat your first target.
Once one falls, you will only have two left. Use the same tactic of concentrating your attack on one enemy at a time, then moving on to the next. Avoid attacking all three at once, as that will make the battle easier for you.
Use healing items and your Phantom Edge when you need them because your health is low. Make sure to use your AoE abilities once all three puppets get closer to you. By the way, the Chaos Puppet appears to be vulnerable to Frost.
