Location
You can find Feng Ruzhi in the Verdant Hill Village area of the Roaring Sands region.
When do you fight Feng Ruzhi
Feng Ruzhi can be fought anytime as a world boss once the Roaring Sands region is unlocked. She is not tied to a specific questline, but her recommended level and mechanics make her ideal to challenge after you’ve refined your parry and stamina management.
Story context – The Marriage Duel and the Silk Ball
During the Marriage Duel event, combatants fight while maintaining possession of the Silk Ball, an embroidered token representing the approval of the duel. The images show Feng Ruzhi performing the ceremonial stance before the duel begins—a calm yet focused moment that hints at her disciplined training.
Marriage Duel – Silk Ball rules:
- Feng Ruzhi can knock the silk ball away using her spear techniques.
- If the ball stays too far from you for too long, you automatically lose the duel.
- You must pick up the ball quickly by approaching it before continuing the fight.
- Combat flow becomes a balance between offense, evasion, and ball recovery.
This gives the encounter an added layer of storytelling and pressure beyond simply defeating a boss.
How to defeat Feng Ruzhi
Here is everything you need to know to defeat Feng Ruzhi in first try:
Spear sweep (wide arc)
A red-silk-enhanced sweep that covers a broad horizontal area. Dodge outward or roll into her non-weapon side.
Thrusting lunge
A quick forward stab that can push you back—and knock the Silk Ball away if you’re holding it.
She spins her spear, letting the trailing silk extend her hitbox. Avoid by stepping diagonally instead of backwards.
Counter posture
A mechanic unique to this duel: she uses a targeted strike to dislodge the ball from your hands. Losing track of it for too long ends the fight.
Defensive flourish, victory
A brief pose where she twirls the spear, reflecting light attacks. Back off until the animation ends. Your highest-damage martial arts should be used when she backs off, ensuring she cannot disrupt your attacks easily.
