Jade-Face
A Maskwalker who repeatedly taunts Soul along the mountain path. He wears a jade mask, its colors gaudy and grotesque. In battle, he can fight alongside two doubles: Jade Mask wields rings with sly, unpredictable movements; Gold Mask wields a sword with cunning strikes; Iron Mask wields a blade with brutal force. Feints and true attacks intertwine, while an eerie grin conceals his deadly intent. He was sent by Huangxing to monitor Soul’s movements, yet he simply watched with amusement as Soul climbed from the foot of the mountain to its peak. His bizarre and unpredictable nature is unlike the others under Huangxing. Combined with his eclectic martial arts and strange techniques, he may even share the same origins as Thread-Binding... Just what role does this man play under Huangxing? Yet the battle in the shrine did not seem to defeat him completely. Perhaps this was the contingency he had kept in reserve.
How to beat this fight
- Rest at The Lady’s Shrine bell first: a death sends you back there. He waits in the snowy court behind the large wooden door beside it, and the fight starts with a cutscene. Upgrade your main weapon and bring healing.
- He is the ring user. The two doubles, Gold Mask with a sword and Iron Mask with a blade, press in close while he throws from range. Keep all three in view and do not stand between the masks and him.
- His ring blade skims low across the court and the rings stay on the paving; he also leaps from the stairs or railings and drops onto you with a ring raised overhead. Do not let the masks pin you against the stairs or a railing, where several hits chain together.
- Take only safe openings rather than forcing long combos.
- He drops Seamless Death after a short scene when you move on. A Memory Flower and a gold chest with Desperate Stand are in the room beside the arena. Pillars of Kunlun then sends you on to Huangxing.
