Open the original Chinese guide ↗The Azure Halberd Forgemaster is a main-story boss. Its opening attacks are straightforward, but its later chained patterns demand deliberate positioning and repeated dodges.
Location
China-server route: Cloudfall Far Mountains — Upper Shelter.
Opening attacks
The guide uses the Child of the Primal Flow and Xi Shi. Ground slams, double-hand swipes, and double-hand smashes are readable; dodge at the impact timing, or keep range and deal damage from outside the attack area. The repeated double-hand swipes deal heavy damage and launch targets, so dodge through the first hit and move sideways or behind the boss.
Escalating patterns
After several damage rotations, the boss spins with its weapon. Either chain dodges or leave the attack radius early.
Its red-glow leap slam has a large impact zone. Run clear in advance or use a Perfect Dodge.
At lower HP, it lays a yellow ground field that erupts after a delay. Leave the marked area to avoid being launched.
Final sequence
The Forgemaster then sends successive ground spikes in a line toward the player. Missing one dodge makes the following hits difficult to escape, so use Perfect Dodge timing to move clear. The spike chain is followed by a large red-glow double-hand spike; chain dodges again.
Finally, it throws large yellow weapon projections, then recalls them. The throw is easy to sidestep, but do not stand in their return path. At low health it may also rush forward quickly from a charging stance; dodge left or right and finish the encounter once its HP is depleted.
