Optional boss

Overview

Yubi, numbered 21, is a Swordfighter Puppet and serves as the optional boss at the Mandate Encampment's end.

Together with Yuzan, Yuding and Yucong, which are all named after jade vessels, it forms the group called the Four Great Puppets. Where the rest play a pipa, bear a crescent blade or are made of Chaos, Yubi is the one wielding a sword.

Placed at the Mandate Encampment's end, the battle against Yubi wraps up a side tale and rewards two things: the Baishan Stormswords and a piece of the Illusory Pipa.

Role in the Story

Duel at the Training Grounds

After the Road to the Training Grounds, Soul goes into the Training Grounds and battles Yubi in the arena. Victory drops the Baishan Stormswords. In the building past the arena sits the Illusory Pipa Backplate, which is the second of three components Myst requires to fix the Illusory Pipa.

A portal connected to the Herald's Illusion is located in the nearby Training Grounds Depths.

Finishing the Baishan Tale

Anyone carrying Secrets of the Baishan Sect finishes with Yubi. Examine Bi Taotao's body first, following Wu Lengshuang; defeating Yubi afterwards triggers a cutscene exclusive to this tale, and the quest ends.

Gear and Transport

Baishan Stormswords

From Yubi, Soul obtains the Baishan Stormswords. Combos of the Normal and Sha-Chi sort charge Wind and Thunder gauges; once each is full, Baishan's Blessing kicks in.
