Although the game may seem repetitive, the bosses are all different, requiring a unique approach to beat them. If you're struggling with Zhang Jiao, this guide can help you beat him.

Equipping gear that provides resistance to lightning is also advisable since Zhang Jiao frequently uses that element. Furthermore, you can equip the Wood Phase Spell Inner Breath, which helps fill up your Divine Beast Gauge quickly by deflecting an attack.

Bringing two companions can also provide distractions and give you more breathing room.
