Why Hunt World Bosses in Where Winds Meet?
World Bosses in Where Winds Meet deliver brutal challenges packed with unique mechanics, plus exclusive Inner Way unlocks like Exquisite Scenery or Esoteric Revival that no other path grants—essential for completionists chasing 100%.
These nine fights span Qinghe and Kaifeng, often hiding behind quests, items, or time gates, but rewards like Tomes, Medicinal Tales, Echo Jades, Exploration points, 8000 EXP, and 8000 Coins make the grind worthwhile.
Beat one once, then practice free in Start Menu > Wandering Paths > Trials > World Boss (Qinghe/Kaifeng) to master patterns without burning healing charges or durability.

Detailed Qinghe World Boss Locations
Puppeteer Sheng Wu (Overture)
Head directly south of Verdant Wilds Wayfarer (Map NPC) in eastern Qinghe, just west of your starting Bamboo Abode—easy early grab. Different moveset from Curtaincall version. Rewards: Exquisite Scenery Inner Way Tome x1, Shadow Puppet Doll decoration.
Sleeping Daoist
Resting on a tree branch west of Path of Karma Boundary Stone in Sundara Land, atop Jadebrook Mountain. Straightforward spot—climb and engage. Unlocks Esoteric Revival Inner Way Tome.
Snake Doctor
Southwest of Back Mountain Boundary Stone in southeastern Qinghe—underground via nearby cave. Pit of insta-kill snakes blocks entry: Chat with Silver Needle Disciple Sun Yutang outside for Damaged Manuscript. Use Wind Sense (V) to find three gold-outlined big snakes guarding Snake King Bone Shards in pits—Celestial Seize them safely. Return shards for Snake King Bone (snake immunity), then drop in. Star Reacher Inner Way Tome awaits.
Pro tip: Manuscript guides exactly—save Seize charges for this.
Puppeteer Sheng Wu (Curtaincall)
Northernmost Qinghe coast, lone red-flower island. Unique abilities from Overture—prep accordingly. Custom Chest notes shine here.
Yi Dao
Post-Chapter One: Heaven Has No Pier (after Qianye), interact with tree sword in Blissful Retreat. Triggers Dreamscape: follow Dream of Flames Lost quest markers. No practice mode unlock—only one shot initially. Exit/return via map’s bottom-left icon (Qinghe/Kaifeng).
Earth Fiend Diety
Between Gleaming Abyss and Bell of Demoncalm in Moonveil region—western Qinghe midpoint.
Detailed Kaifeng World Boss Locations
Twin Lions
Southern Kaifeng’s Gracetown: Enter central courtyard, approach performing Lion Dancer to trigger. Straight arena fight.
Ghost Master
Eastern Mistveil Forest edge—poison fog insta-kills until you complete Ephemeral Blight quest to lift it (full Mistveil cures guide). Then straightforward.
Wolf Maiden
Southeastern Kaifeng, east of Desperation Ridge Boundary Stone—appears only at night (Xu hour). Use time change guide if needed. Special instance; exit via top screen Door icon. Boss tactics here.
Kaifeng access via main story—south of southern regions.
