Your journey through the world of Nine Sols<\/a> in search of the Sol Seals is not for the faint-hearted, but the game thankfully eases you into its mechanics, combat, and overall difficulty at first. <\/span>Once you’ve grasped the basics<\/span>, though<\/span>, the game presents its first truly challenging boss: General Yingzhao.<\/span> This fight serves as a skill check for most casual players, but it’s not an impossible battle to win.<\/span><\/p>\n If<\/span> you’re ready to take on Nine Sols and conquer the game’s first boss<\/span>, we’ve got you covered<\/span>.<\/span> In this guide, we’ll detail exactly how to locate and defeat General Yingzhao, covering his <\/span>move set<\/span>, how to counter his attacks, and offering tips for the overall fight.<\/span><\/p>\n General Yingzhao is the first major boss in the game, serving as the bodyguard to Kuafu<\/a>, the holder of the first Sol Seal you’ll be collecting. To reach Yingzhao, start from the Four Seasons Pavilion hub, then head down using the elevator in the Central Transport Hub on the right.<\/span><\/p>\n Once you reach the lower level, take the transporter on the right to the Power Reservoir (East). From there, proceed <\/span>left<\/span> to find another transporter that will take you to the Power Reservoir (Central). Continue heading left until you find the Radiant Pagoda. You’ll need to gain access by switching on the power downstairs.<\/span><\/p>\n Upon entering the Radiant Pagoda, where General Yingzhao awaits you on the far right of the area, you’ll have a chance to activate the nearby Root Node and rest up for the fight ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n General Yingzhao is a centaur-like mechanoid wielding a large red spear, which he uses to stab, swing, and attempt to impale you. This fight has two phases, with the second phase adding two new moves while retaining the original ones from phase one. Let’s break down each move before discussing strategies for the fight.<\/span><\/p>\n In phase one, General Yingzhao’s moves are limited and relatively easy to learn. The Charged Thrust is the most dangerous attack, as its wind-up and telegraphing are minimal. You’ll need to time your reaction carefully, <\/span>either parrying<\/a><\/span> it early<\/a>, jumping over it, or attempting to dodge it. <\/span><\/p>\n However, note that the hitbox for this attack can be slightly behind the spear model, so if you’re too close after dashing through it, you might still get hit. Parrying or jumping is your safest bet, with dodging being a last resort.<\/span><\/p>\n When Yingzhao performs his Charged Swipes, parrying is your best option since the attack covers nearly his entire body. Dodging through it is extremely risky unless perfectly timed. For Yingzhao’s Two Hit Combo, however, parrying is your best friend.<\/span><\/p>\n Parrying the combo is advantageous because the opening move, an overhead strike, is easy to read and parry. Countering this with a well-placed talisman will position you behind Yingzhao, allowing you to deal significant damage. <\/span><\/p>\n Even better, parrying and riposting him causes Yingzhao to restart the combo, meaning he will turn around and begin the overhead swing again. This allows you to <\/span>parry<\/span> and riposte up to four times before he switches to another move, making it a very safe way to inflict <\/span>a lot of<\/span> damage.<\/span><\/p>\nNine Sols General Yingzhao Boss Location<\/span><\/h2>\n
