GUIDE / BOSS
Yuzan boss guide
Yuzan, No. 3 Musician Puppet, waits below Village of Lu’s well. Reach her from Beneath the Well, watch for successive projectiles and collect Heartrend Pipa before activating Puppet Testing Grounds.
Enter the basin beyond Beneath the Well
Community-reportedOnce the well opens, descend from Well of the Three Puppets and ring Beneath the Well. Follow the underground route past the bridge headband to the basin under the scaffolding. The bell is your useful reference point; the recording’s completion percentage is incidental.

The opening map identifies Beneath the Well in Village of Lu. Use the bell and the written underground directions; the creator’s map-completion percentage is not a requirement.

Keep room for consecutive responses
Editorial guidanceAvoid treating every ranged animation as a single hit. Leave room to change direction and keep your healing decision separate from closing the gap. This is practice advice; no weapon, minimum health or universal damage figure has been tested by Kingy.
Read the projectile sequence
Community-reportedAll Things How reports blue and red blades, white-orb volleys, close pipa strikes and a dangerous dark-sphere grab. Its response advice is based on a Wayfarer recording. Use the visible sequence rather than its measured seconds or damage values.

- Keep the second dodge available.
- Opening to look for
- After both have passed.
- Common mistake
- Retaliating after only the blue blade.
Several bright orbs approach

- Respond to the remaining hits before healing.
- Opening to look for

Heartrend Pipa and Puppet Testing Grounds
Community-reportedThe reported reward is Heartrend Pipa. Ring the crane statue in the arena to activate Puppet Testing Grounds. Talk to the crying puppet child for Cui; Cui’s Red Ribbon is separate from Young Mistress’s five headbands. The nearby portal starts a later objective of The Herald’s Illusion.
