Location and Access

To reach this boss encounter, travel to Worship's Rise at Palace Hill. Start at the shrine and turn around to go back along the story path you followed earlier in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers.

Find a temple with a roof that has a long ladder on its side. Climb down this ladder and enter the temple through the main entrance.

Entering through the front door will automatically initiate the boss battle against the Tang Palace Maid.

Combat Preparation and Strategy

The Axe weapon type provides the most effective approach for this encounter, though the Halberd offers exceptional results due to the boss's vulnerability to this weapon.

During the fight, you have to keep the Tang Palace Maid staggered at all times.

Start the fight by knocking the boss down with a charged R2 attack. Follow up quickly with rapid R1 attacks, focusing on the last two hits of your combo in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers.

This technique causes a Stunlock effect, preventing the boss from recovering or counterattacking.

When your stamina gets low, perform another charged heavy attack and return to the quick attack pattern.
