- When Zhang Bao reaches 30% health, he will summon Demonized Warlocks around the arena. The Warlocks will give Zhang Bao buffs.

Parrying attacks, especially the Fatal Strikes, will decrease your enemy's Spirit Gauge significantly. As such, it is ideal for you to parry as much as possible, then damage them heavily with your Fatal Strike once it is available.
Article Continues BelowZhang Bao is the first boss in the game to have both melee and ranged attacks. As such, players may have a hard time adapting to their attack patterns. As always, it is good to take this fight slow to give you time to get used to his moves. Players can also bring their Reinforcements to help out in the situation. Of course, they should not overly rely on them. The player must still try to whittle down Zhang Bao's HP when they can.
