GUIDE / BOSS
Chief Disciple of the Seven-Stars boss guide
The Chief Disciple of the Seven-Stars Formation fights with a squad of puppets in Mandate Encampment. Game8 lists the fight as optional, but its Training Grounds Key opens the Training Grounds. Game8 says Red can join if you spared her earlier.
Below the ladder at Three Towers
Community-reportedGame8, Maxroll and ShowGamer put the fight directly below the ladder at the Three Towers bell, reached by dropping down after Red’s tower. All Things How instead places it near the Tower Rear Exit bell. Match the ladder and the burning tower in the clip.

Decide about Red before the fight
Community-reportedGame8 reports that if Red is left alive she joins at about half his health and heals him. Maxroll, ShowGamer and All Things How warn that fighting Red at her tower costs a Memory Flower and an accessory. Kingy has not tested either branch.
Read the formation
