Nameless General Boss details

Where to find the Nameless General

Nameless General spawns in the Martial Temple area of Jadewood Court in Kaifeng. Community consensus places him inside or immediately around the temple, usually on the left side of the building complex.

If you’ve struggled to locate him, it’s often due to outdated or vague map markers rather than incorrect placement.

How to defeat the Nameless General in fight

The encounter follows a clear two-phase rhythm. Understanding when the phase shifts happen is more important than maximizing damage.

Phase 1: Focuses on defense and guard pressure

The fight opens with the General playing defensively, often using a guarded stance or shield-forward posture. His attacks are slow but heavy, and repeated blocking will quickly drain your guard.

Step 1: Force stamina damage instead of trading hits

Use martial arts or weapon skills that specifically damage guard or stamina. Heavy attacks, charged strikes, and guard-breaking abilities shine here.

Step 2: Avoid over-blocking

Blocking too many consecutive hits risks guard break, which leaves you exposed to punishing follow-ups. Mix dodges and short retreats into your defense.

Step 3: Watch for parryable tells

Most of his heavy swings are clearly telegraphed. Successful parries create brief but valuable openings to deal damage or reset positioning.

Phase 2: Shifts to aggression and area control

Once his stamina or guard is broken, the Nameless General becomes noticeably more aggressive with his Electric Strokes. Expect lightning weilds, wider slashes, electrically charged attacks, and forward pressure meant to keep you directly in front of him.

Step 4: Circle and flank instead of backing straight up

Moving laterally reduces the threat of his wide arcs and makes his recovery windows easier to punish.

Step 5: Punish recovery, not initiation

Avoid attacking as he starts combos. Wait until the final swing or charge recovery, then strike decisively before disengaging.

Step 6: Maintain stamina discipline

This phase punishes greedy offense. Always leave stamina available for a dodge or parry in case he chains attacks.

• Equip companions if available to help split aggro and add passive pressure
