Everything you need to know about the Xiahou Dun boss fight in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty

Xiahou Dun is a flying demon with fire wings that makes this fight a challenging endeavor. He has a strange weapon that offers him even more leverage. Xiahou Dun’s attacks have high mobility and can quickly move around the arena.

His arsenal includes Slash Combo, Soaring Blaze, Spinning Blaze, Ground Slam, Lunging Slash, Lunging Stab, and Spinning Lunge.

The Slash Combo involves Xiahou Dun slashing at the player three times. You can either dodge or parry these attacks.

The Soaring Blaze attack involves him flying around the arena and leaving fire on the ground. Avoid these spots of fire at all costs and try not to be in Xiahou Dun's flight path.

The Spinning Blaze attack involves Xiahou Dun flying in the air for a bit before turning around and shooting fire at the ground. You should stay away from him while avoiding the burning ground simultaneously. In the Ground Slam attack, Xiahou Dun charges up his attack before slamming his weapon to the ground. You can easily dodge or parry this attack.

The Lunging Slash attack involves Xiahou Dun jumping back into the air before launching at the player and slashing through his weapon. In the Lunging Stab attack, he flies up into the air and performs a loop before lunging for a stab. Both of the above-mentioned attacks can be easily dodged.

Lastly, the Spinning Lunge attack involves Xiahou Dun flying into the air before charging at the player while spinning.

Parrying attacks, especially Fatal Strikes, will significantly decrease the villain's Spirit Gauge. Therefore, players should try to parry as much as possible, then damage Xiahou Dun heavily with their Fatal Strike once available.
