Nameless General Boss Guide: How to Defeat Him in Where Winds Meet

Are you struggling to beat the Nameless General in Where Winds Meet? This world boss from the 1.2 update is no joke. He's a brutal parry test that can punish even the strongest builds. But with the right strategy, you can take him down. Here's everything you need to know.

First, find him. The Nameless General hangs out at the Martial Temple in the southwest corner of Kaifeng. Look for the red boss icon on your map. He's in the western courtyard. There are no prerequisites, but make sure your build is solid. Don't be ashamed to ask for help if you need it. If he doesn't spawn, switch to solo mode or restart the game.

Now, the fight itself. This is a parry test. You need to play defensively and wait for openings. In phase one, he usually opens with a spiraling dive, followed by gold-flashing combos that can't be blocked. Getting hit by one of these is basically a death sentence, so dodge! His combos are long and chaotic, so study his attacks and learn the timing. He likes to thrust his spear with quick swipes, so stay alert.

Here's a pro tip: you can hold block while pressing the parry button! This way, even if you miss the parry, you'll block the damage as long as you have stamina. He has two red-flash attacks that you absolutely must block. If they land, it's a one-shot. Both have noticeable wind-ups. First, he steps back and thrusts his spear. Second, he leaps into the air and slams down. Press parry when you see the red flash, and you'll reflect it every time.

Only attack when he's staggering. Break his Qi with parries, then hit him while he's stunned. Use your finisher before he gets up, and you can also chug healing potions during this window.

Phase two starts when his health hits half. He gains lightning-based attacks and becomes much more aggressive. Don't let your guard down. One or two hits can kill you. Watch for more unblockable gold flashes, and keep your distance between them so you can heal when they come out. There's also a new red-flash attack that often comes right after a long combo. The lightning effects can make him hard to see since he's glowing, so stay focused.

When you finally empty his health bar, don't celebrate yet! He'll launch one last attack before admitting defeat. Block and parry like your life depends on it, because it does. Once the storm ends, he's done.

Your rewards? 1 achievement, 3 medicinal stories, 8000 coins, 5 Inner Way Notes: Customized Boxes, and 1 ton of XP.
