  • Keep an eye on the minimap to follow the route and avoid getting lost in the foggy Ghostlight Market.
  • Stick close to the green lanterns, as they clear the poisonous mist and reduce damage taken.
  • Avoid engaging enemies unless necessary to conserve health and resources for the boss fight.
  • Equip the ghost armor before following the spectral procession to remain invisible to spirits.
  • Use patience and perfectly time parries during the Zhu Yousheng boss fight for success.
