Giant Goose Guide - Where Winds Meet

Among the many curious encounters in Where Winds Meet, goose stands out as a memorable mix of comedy, danger, and surprise. Players often approach a Sick Goose to treat it, but a failed treatment can turn it into a Maniacal Goose, a vicious mini-boss capable of overwhelming early-game players. Yet this same encounter can reward you with a unique companion. By defeating the Maniacal Goose using Tai Chi skill, you can obtain an item that allows you to summon a goose ally, turning a chaotic threat into an unexpected friend.

This guide breaks down the encounter, its location, how the transformation works, and how to turn the goose into your companion.

Location

You’ll find the goose at a riverbank in the Moonveil Mountain region within Qinghe.

How the Sick Goose becomes the Maniacal Goose

When you attempt to treat a Sick Goose, the result can go in two ways: the treatment may succeed, and the goose simply recovers, or the treatment can fail, and a failed treatment immediately causes the Sick Goose to mutate into the Maniacal Goose. This transformed version behaves like other aggressive goose variants in the game; it will chase you, attacking with erratic speed, rapid multi-hit peck combos, and relentless chasing while having far more durability than ordinary wildlife.

How to defeat and unlock the Giant Goose as a companion

Follow these steps to safely defeat the Maniacal Goose and unlock it as a usable companion:

Step 1: Create distance

Move away from the goose and position yourself at a safe distance to avoid being caught by its fast, erratic attacks.

Step 2: Equip the Tai Chi skill

Open your skills and equip Tai Chi, which allows you to grab and throw enemies.

Step 3: Use Tai Chi and throw the goose into the water

Approach the Maniacal Goose, activate Tai Chi, grab it, and throw it into the river. Geese cannot swim, so this will instantly defeat it.

Step 4: Claim the Achievement

Open your Achievements tab and claim the Goose Buster achievement. Claiming it unlocks the goose companion.

Step 5: Summon the Giant Goose

You can now summon the Giant Goose during combat using Companion Assist. It will join you in boss fights, providing fast peck attacks and acting as a helpful sub-DPS ally.

The Giant Goose encounter is chaotic but rewarding. By defeating the Maniacal Goose with the Tai Chi method and claiming the Goose Buster achievement, you unlock a unique companion that can assist you in tough battles. Simple, surprising, and memorable - this is one of the most entertaining allies you can gain in Where Winds Meet.
