How To Defeat The Second Sister
The Second Sister is vulnerable to fire, so you should start by heading into the fight and using theRed Tidestransformation to deal as much damage as possible. Once you haveused all your Might, and de-transformed, you can start focusing on using your other spells, such asImmobilizeandCloud Stepto finish her off.
While using Red Tides, focus on using the light attacks to build up Qi and then use a special Heavy Attack to deal heavy damage to the boss.
You can also useA Pluck of ManySpell to quickly end the fight after using your Transformation and the Immobilize Spell. If you keeprushing down on the boss with attacks, you’ll be able to easily defeat her without having to worry about her attacks.
You will encounter many enemies that inflict poison in Chapter 4, just like The Second Sister. We recommend investing a few Sparks in the Bane Mitigation talent as that increases your resistance to the Four Banes, which includes poison.
You can also stay at a distance, only heading in to cast Immobilize and deal some damage, and then retreating again whileletting Zhu Bajie fightagainst the boss by himself. This strategy may take some time to take down the boss as Zhu Bajie doesn’t deal as much damage on his own, but if you’re having trouble with the boss, then this strategy might be helpful.
