Optional boss fight

Overview

Acolyte Hansui is a Maskwalker encountered in a concealed two-on-one battle inside Crimson Manor, located in Weeping Creek Valley.

Along with Acolyte Yanru, Acolyte Lei Ting and Acolyte Guhe, she makes up the four scarecrow acolytes. Since Crimson Manor becomes available late, players can pick up Hansui's mask last. In her arena she is not by herself, as she takes part in the battle with the Puppet Scavenger.

Gameplay

Two Enemies Beneath the Manor

She only arrives after the Puppet Scavenger has suffered a fair amount of damage. When she shows up, the recommendation is to attack her first, avoid her freezing attacks, and take down the Scavenger afterwards.

Acolyte of Frost

At base, she has +100% resistance to Ice and Water, -30% to Fire and Lightning, and +30% to Poison. Fire and lightning are therefore the elements that damage her.

Gear and Transport

Beating the pair drops an Alloyed Scythe Blade, Crystal Puppet Eye [Yang] and Hansui's Frost Mask. Add the remaining three masks to hers and the Four Guardians' Mirror in western Meigu Lake unseals, giving access to the Phantom Illusionist Ruins that lie concealed beyond.
