How to defeat Heartseeker in Where Winds Meet

The Heartseeker in Where Winds Meet is the game's first proper boss that you will come face-to-face with at the very end of the Far Shores dungeon. Despite being an early game boss, she will give you a proper challenge and will test your skills with being able to parry and counter her attacks. She becomes available later as an extermination boss who will give you essential materials.

This article will cover some basic tips and tricks that you can use to defeat the Heartseeker in Where Winds Meet.

Tips and tricks to defeat the Heartseeker in Where Winds Meet

At the very end of the Far Shores dungeon, your character will be induced into a hallucination, where you will find yourself in a strange realm. You will be asked to navigate this area, and at the very end, you will come across a mysterious woman who resembles Aunt Han. She will attack you, triggering the boss fight.

Best weapon setup

Given this is an introductory boss fight, you will have only one weapon by default that you can select. Go for the Panacea Fan, which allows you to heal yourself. As this fight occurs at the early stage of the game, you won't have many medicinal flasks to heal yourself.

When you fight the boss in extermination mode, you will be able to select your weapon freely.

Here are a few tips and tricks to take down the Heartseeker:

Phase 1

• The Heartseeker will open the fight by lunging at you. Escape this attack by pressing dodge.
• If she jumps up in the air, make sure to dodge either left or right when she slams her weapon on the ground.
• Keep an eye out for when her weapons glow red. You can parry this attack and take a chunk out of her Qi bar.

Phase 2

• Hide behind the tombstones around the arena. You won't be able to attack her at the start of the second stage when she starts hovering in the middle. She will unleash a powerful move that can devastate you if you do not hide.
• She will chain a set of scythe strikes, all of which you can parry. When you counter the last one, you will be able to unleash a powerful move that will take a chunk of her HP and Qi bar.

Defeating the Heartseeker in Where Winds Meet during the campaign will progress the plot, but you can challenge her again later by returning to Far Shores.
