All Wuchang Fallen Feathers bosses in order

What is the full list Wuchang Fallen Feathers bosses? It wouldn't be a soulslike without bosses, and Wuchang's Shu region has them in spades. From the wartorn villages of Worship's Rise to the frostbitten reaches of Cloudspire, it's only a matter of time before you'll walk into a boss fight that sends you right back to the last checkpoint.

Like all the best soulslike games, bosses represent the biggest hurdles to your progress in Wuchang Fallen Feathers. Many are skills checks to ensure that you understand certain combat mechanics, while others put your best Wuchang builds to the test. Our list of all Wuchang bosses includes every main and optional boss you'll encounter in the RPG game, with a complete walkthrough of how to beat the most challenging bosses of the bunch.

Here are all the Wuchang bosses in order:

Note: This isn't the full list of bosses in the game; we'll continue to update it in the coming days.

Bai Kru

Bai Kru is the quintessential soulslike tutorial boss. Much like Elden Ring's Grafted Scion, you're not expected to beat it - in fact, the whole point of it is to teach you a lesson about Wuchang's death mechanic. However, it is possible, especially if you're an experienced player dipping into new game plus.

Bai Kru is a relentlessly aggressive boss, so stay on the defensive and perform liberal circle-dodges to build Skyborn Might charges during its ground slam combos. This often puts you directly behind it, which is a great opportunity to squeeze in a light attack or two before it repositions.

It fires a water beam from its mouth with two variations; the first is a quick upward sweep that you can sidestep, while the other is a horizontal arc. The latter has a lengthy animation, so get behind Bai Kru as quickly as possible to unleash attacks with a longer wind-up. Just don't get too close to its flank, or you might get caught in that horizontal beam.

Bai Kru tends to perform these water attacks when it's at a distance. Alternatively, it closes the gap with a forward charge that transitions into an overhead leap. Watch its movements and react accordingly. Ultimately, though, don't sweat it if you don't beat it - you can always start a new game to take another shot at it.

Tang Palace Maid

The Tang Palace Maid is susceptible to magic damage, so target her from the ledge that leads down into the lower level and cast Vorpal Blade to take off over half of her health before you even engage her. Once your charges are all expended, wait for her to ascend the path up to your position and perform a plunging attack to leave her vulnerable to an Obliterate critical hit. This should inflict enough damage to win the fight, but if not, circle her to perform a charged backstab and a follow-up Obliterate to finish her off.

Master Raider - Man-eating Dhutanga

Between his enormous spear and fire spells, Dhutanga is an exercise in pulling off the perfect dodge. His combat animations comprise forward thrusts, sweeping attacks, and downward slams. Circling him is particularly effective in the first phase of this fight, since the majority of Dhutanga's close-range attacks are forward-facing. You can avoid most of his attacks this way, and charge up Skyborn Might to cast Vorpal Blade or use your weapon's discipline art.

Dhutanga is susceptible to Obliterate, but timing your attacks is crucial to wear his poise down quickly. Swift Draw is a boon to help you get in an additional hit, but be sure to back off quickly to avoid swift punishment. Dhutanga's grab attack is the most fatal one in his arsenal, so be prepared to sidestep when he rushes at you with his hand outstretched.

After losing roughly 45% of his health, Dhutanga lights his spear on fire and scorches the battlefield to transition into his second phase. Thankfully, this transition can't hurt you, so take the opportunity to heal or pop any buffing items during his lengthy animation. Dhutanga's phase two attacks aren't too dissimilar to the first phase, but they do hit harder and deal fire damage. Stay agile, stay calm, and Dhutanga will succumb to you before you know it.

Feathered Priest - Lu Bingzhang

Lu Bingzhang is a priest afflicted by Corruption, so it should come as no surprise that he wants to corrupt you as well. Equip armor with the highest Corruption stat to mitigate status buildup, and load up on a full stack of Purple Camellia for an instant cure if you do become afflicted. He's a highly aggressive boss who relies on frenzied sweep attack combos with his staff and several explosive spells.

It's tempting to go for the backstab, but Lu Bingzhang has too many close-range AoEs to risk it during a skirmish. Instead, wait for him to swoop forward from the air, dodge forward to avoid his overhead slam, then unleash your heavy attack backstab while he recovers. This should inflict a stagger for Obliterate, or at least get him a decent way there.

You can use the Bone Whistle to summon Nian Suichang to pull aggro in this fight, but be aware that his damage output against Lu Bingzhang is abysmal. Instead of letting them duke it out, use him as a distraction to get behind Lu Bingzhang and cast Echo of Dhutanga, which has a chance to either inflict Burn or a stagger. Fire Pots are an excellent way to take a hefty chunk out of Lu Bingzhang's health bar as well, but take care to throw them between attacks.

Lu Bingzhang's grab attack is the most dangerous, which he telegraphs by charging forward with a corrupted hand outstretched. He also likes to leap into the air and fling crimson spears, but these are easily avoided and are a good opportunity to build Skyborn Might.

Watch out for when he slams his staff into the ground, which causes successive geysers to erupt at your position. Like the spears, they're barely a threat once you know what to look out for - just don't be tempted to attack Lu Bingzhang while he's stationary, since it's likely you'll be caught up in one of these attacks.

Blightweaver - Great Centipede

Blightweaver resides at the bottom of the Bandit Cave, and it requires careful stamina management and animation tracking to beat. This giant arachnid uses its powerful legs and razor-sharp talons to leap and hack at its prey. Its trickiest combo is a rapid sequence of forward slashes, but you can consistently avoid it by dodging under a raised talon to circle behind it. Watch out for its tail whip when you're in this position - you can generally avoid it thanks to the uneven floor.

Aside from these main attacks, Blightweaver has a few additional tricks up its sleeve. It occasionally burrows under the ground, tunnelling over to your position and attacking from below. Watch out for when the ground starts to glow, and time your dodges for free Skyborn Might charges. At close range, it emits a scream that locks you in a button-mash stun, and emits a corruption cloud from its massive bulk, so don't be afraid to beat a hasty retreat. It can even summon a Taoist sigil that fires beams of light, but these are also well-telegraphed and easy to sidestep.

The pillars that litter the battlefield inflict a temporary stun on Blightweaver, so position yourself nearby to bait it into attacking them. This stun window is very brief, so we recommend avoiding the pillars until you need an opportune moment to heal or cast a powerful spell like Echo of Dhutanga or Echo of Lu Bingzhang. Throwables are useful in this fight, but they're not necessary if you're a good dodger.

Reborn Treant - Soulwood

Soulwood is one of the easiest bosses to beat in Wuchang, provided you have the right spell. Fire is the obvious weakness of this corrupted tree, but you'll likely find that Echo of Dhutanga is a little too slow for comfort. Lucky for you, the perfect solution is just a stone's throw away.

Before you climb down the ladder on the path to confront Soulwood, head up the ladder on the right instead and defeat the elite enemy waiting in the clearing to receive Burning Flames. This fire spell is cheap and effective against Soulwood, especially if you take the time to refresh your Skyborn Might via the flowers that sprout across the battlefield. It's also a long-range spell, which means you can effectively stay out of the way of all its major attacks, from its root slam to its gravitational pull.

While at a distance, watch out for the red projectiles Soulwood spews from its mouth, though these are slow-moving and easily avoided. Generally, you should consistently hug the left-hand wall to avoid getting caught in the waves of flame that it occasionally sends directly ahead. Reanimated corpses and roots occasionally spawn, but consider these a distraction that you can use to build Skyborn Might. Don't bother targeting them; Soulwood's firebombings will eventually take care of them for you. All in all, Burning Flames should make quick work of this overgrown sapling.

Commander - Honglan

Commander Honglan is the first real skill check in Wuchang - if you haven't been practicing clash, block, or deflect, you're about to receive a swift education. The easiest way to deal with Honglan is to unlock the Sword Counter weapon discipline from the longsword branch of the skill tree, then equip it to your hardest-hitting weapon. You might find blocking with the axe more beneficial if you're used to it, but the Sword Counter has a very generous deflection window in comparison.

You can deal with Honglan's first phase very easily by remaining at a distance to bait her into performing her forward lunge. Deflect and punish it, then back off before she can clip you with her follow-up combos. This method also wears down her poise and leaves her vulnerable to Obliterate, provided you don't give her time to recover.

Honglan's second phase is where the real challenge begins. Alongside her sword-swinging and martial arts, she sends arcs of horizontal and vertical light to your position. The horizontal arc has a slightly longer wind-up than the vertical arcs, so don't be tempted to dodge early and get caught in it.

Honglan is by far the most dangerous at close range, and she loves to close any distance quickly with a flurry of punches, kicks, and twirling swordplay. Remember that the sword counter cannot block against her melee or magic attacks, though you can still deflect her throwing darts. Honglan also won't give you much time to cast a spell during her second phase, so only chance it if she's locked in a combo animation at a distance.

There's no two ways about it, this is a tough fight that demands focus, and with Honglan applying continuous pressure, there's next to no room for misplays. Don't be afraid to continue your exploration of Worship's Rise and return later if you're struggling to get past her first phase.
