Qiu Feng, the Crimson Boneblade, is one of the bosses that you will face in Phantom Blade Zero. He has quite a number of moves that are powerful enough to cause you some serious harm. However, using proper weaponry and tactics will help make the battle much easier than it otherwise would be. In this guide, we’ll cover the best weapons and equipment to use, along with some simple tips to defeat Qiu Feng.
Best Weapons and Equipment Loadout
For my primary weapon, employ the Baishan Storm Swords, which can inflict huge damage. Also employ the Scarlet Wraithblade to deplete the boss’s Sha-Chi, along with the passive depletion effect from the Spider Lilies.
In terms of accessories, employ Crimson Resolve for additional damage and Quickhand Pair. Employ Hunter’s Insight to enhance the effectiveness of depleting the Sha-Chi and to boost the damage. The Nameless Thumb Ring would aid in building up the L2 meter faster, and the Reflex Device makes it easier to dodge and parry.
Also use the Ancient Armour Fragment to resist damage better, Kye Dew for further damage reduction, and Lament Draft to boost the amount of damage. For the abilities, employ Ulong’s Deluge to put Wet on the enemy, thus making him more vulnerable to lightning attacks. Also, use the Thunder Spear.
Boss Fight Strategy
You can parry most of Qiu Feng’s attacks, and thus you do not have to worry about dodging all his attacks. However, be careful of a few attacks which finish off with parryable attacks, like his double-hit upward slash and double-hit dagger attacks. Also, there is his Sha-Chi draining attack, which is preceded by a spin attack. In case the screen goes into black-and-white mode, prepare to dodge.
During most of the encounter, you should just keep blocking and wait for an opening through which you can hit him between his combos. Extra damage can also be dealt to Qiu Feng when he becomes staggered. Qiu Feng occasionally throws four spiked blades at you from afar. These attacks can deal heavy damage to you, especially when your health bar is low. Make sure to dodge his last spike, which always precedes the appearance of a red glint before the blade.
