The Sleeping Daoist is undoubtedly a challenging foe you will have to defeat to obtain various rewards in Where Winds Meet.
Unlike other campaign bosses like Dalang and Heartseeker, the Sleeping Daoist is a World Boss in Where Winds Meet. This means that he is not tied to any particular main story mission.
Instead, you can fight him by approaching his location. However, do not go in unprepared, or else you will be swiftly defeated. This boss guide will help prepare you for the Sleeping Daoist.
Where Winds Meet: Sleeping Daoist Boss Guide
The location for this boss will be highlighted on the map image above. You can find him at the Sundara Land region of Qinghe and fight him. To be exact, he will be up in the Jadebrook Mountain area, next to the Path of Karma teleport waypoint.
Simply approach the boss to start the fight.
Sleeping Daoist Moveset in Where Winds Meet
Phase 1
These are the moves used during the first phase:
- Ground Slams: The Daoist and the donkey jump off the tree to slam the ground repeatedly.
- Rock Blast: The boss summons stones out of the earth and throws them forward one by one.
- Spinning Slash: Sleeping Daoist spins around quickly while slashing towards you.
- Repeated Blast: The boss moves away from you while sending projectiles your way.
- Front Slam: The donkey raises its front legs and slams them down in front of it.
- There is a variation of this where it performs a similar attack, but with its hind legs. This attack is a yellow attack, meaning it’s unblockable and cannot be parried.
After you reduce the boss’s health to zero once, a small transition attack will play out.
Phase 2
During this phase, the patterns remain the same. However, the attacks do get buffed and change somewhat. Some of the attacks now cause wood to spring up from the ground to constrict your movement.
Apart from this, there are some new attacks to watch out for:
- Disappearing Act: The boss vanishes, and multiple copies of the boss form in the arena. Hit the copy that glows.
- Stampede: Sleeping Daoist rises into the air and summons an army of donkeys to run wild. These will leave the field after running around for a short time.
