How to beat Yucong, No. 34 Twisted Puppet
Our strategy, built from the fight's numbers, followed by the game's own codex entry.
- Bring Fire: it deals 30% more damage to Yucong, No. 34 Twisted Puppet.
- Shock builds up 16% faster on Yucong, No. 34 Twisted Puppet.
- Yucong, No. 34 Twisted Puppet's Sha-Chi bar is 2,400: perfect parries and Guard Break attacks drain it, and an empty bar opens the boss to a finisher.
Fire is Yucong's biggest weakness, dealing 30% more damage with Burn building 30% faster, and Lightning adds 16% damage and 16% faster Shock. She is immune to Poison, Bleed and Blood Burst, and Frost and Water are resisted by 30%.
Parries drain 40% less of her Sha-Chi than normal, and her pool is large at roughly 29,300 at level 24, so expect a long fight decided by damage rather than Guard Break. Her calculated HP at that level is about 160,200 before difficulty.
The codex says her three faces take control of the body in turn, the Chaos Blade at times cloaked in frost, at times wreathed in Chaos Flames, and at times gleaming like steel. The Crimson Forest boss order then runs through Steel Yucong, Frost Yucong and Chaos Yucong, each with its own resistances, so check them before settling on gear.

Yucong, No. 34 Twisted Puppet lore
The codex entry the game unlocks for Yucong, No. 34 Twisted Puppet.
In-game codexThe phantom realm fades, and Sha-Chi spills forth. The Mirrorwood is sealed in ice and snow, all sound swallowed by the frost, leaving the forest quiet and still. The tree where Bai Chilian once dwelled now stands empty, replaced by the Chaos Puppet that appeared that day in the Rift Estate. This bitterly cold place is the perfect refuge for her, as one of the puppet’s consciousnesses fears heat and craves the cold.
The puppet’s three faces bicker without end, yet the moment they wield that bone-chilling Chaos Blade, they act as one. The three faces take control of the body in turn, the blade at times cloaked in frost, at times wreathed in Chaos Flames, and at times gleaming like steel. For a moment, it is as if they have returned to twenty years ago.
They too once walked the Wulin side by side, swords in hand, full of youthful spirit. Then one became timid, while another fell into a sleep from which she never awoke. In the end, the three fused into one, enduring unbearable agony without a moment’s peace.
They fled here hoping to escape the Herald’s control. Yet now, as they fight, the burning pain within the body becomes unbearable, and the feeling of being bound grows ever stronger, as if the Herald had hidden some mechanism within them, now clamoring to tear the three of them apart...
