GUIDE / BOSS
Peng Meng, the Axemaster boss guide
Peng Meng, the Axemaster, is an early Weeping Creek Valley boss near the outpost. Watch for his heavy dark-aura attacks, take short openings and defeat him for the Dread Axe Phantom Edge.
Where to find Peng Meng
Community-reportedReach the outpost after Jagged Steel, speak to Forge and ring the Outpost bell. All Things How’s route follows the river southwest past a small roofed pavilion to the Axemaster encounter. The bell gives you a nearby place to return if you need another attempt.
Respond to the heavy swings
Community-reportedPC Gamer describes Peng Meng’s smoky black-aura attacks as especially draining to guard and recommends dodging them. For ordinary swings, watch the whole sequence before attacking; Treyex Gaming notes that his combinations can quickly drain Sha-Chi if you hold guard throughout.
Use brief attacks when he recovers. If you switch weapons, the in-game prompt reproduced by All Things How says the switch restores Sha-Chi; check your own binding in the controls menu.
