With the debut of Where Winds Meet Drunk Martial Artist, the title continues to expand its roster of challenging fights with various World Bosses. This fight is designed to test player awareness, timing, and patience rather than reckless button-mashing. Understanding the arena, the boss’ patterns, and key mechanics will make this fight a lot more easier.
While intimidating at first glance, the encounter rewards careful observation and may demand a couple of retries. This guide breaks down where to find the Where Winds Meet Drunk Martial Artist and how to handle the fight effectively.
Where to find the Where Winds Meet Drunk Martial Artist boss
The Where Winds Meet Drunk Martial Artist can be found in the southern part of Kaifeng. On your map locate the Southeast Camp teleportation point. Head northwest from there not too far along the main road. Stay on the path and keep an eye to your left as you approach a bridge, the boss can be found just before it. The boss area is quite open, making it hard to miss.
As an alternative option the game can guide you, there is an in-game tracking option. Open ‘Journal’ from the game’s menu, then swap to the Kaifeng section and select the World Boss category. From there, highlight the Drunk Martial Artist and track him from there (F on keyboard, Y or Triangle on controller).

Where Winds Meet Drunk Martial Artist: Fight overview and Boss mechanics
The Drunk Martial Artist battle has two phases and is centered around heavy, delayed attacks. His movements are unsteady with a fighting style that makes predicting his moves difficult. He primarily attacks using an oversized gourd, swinging and throwing at both close and mid-range.
Drunk Martial Artist utilises a series of unique alcohol-based attacks. The boss frequently sprays liquor, which builds up an “Intoxication” status. When this meter fills, the player’s camera becomes blurred. Being Intoxicated itself is not threatening, but the visual disruption can easily lead to mistimed dodges or missed parries, especially for players sensitive to these disruptions.
During the second phase, you will have to be more aware of the arena. The Drunk Martial Artist spills puddles of wine on the ground, which is then followed by his fire-infused attacks that can ignite these pools. Paying attention to the floor and avoiding ignitable spots is critical in this phase.

The best recommended window to deal damage is after he finishes an attack combo. He often pauses briefly before starting his next move.
Despite his intimidating presence, most of the Drunk Martial Artist’s attacks are manageable once familiarized. They are delayed and unpredictable but they are slow and can be parried. Once you adjust to his rhythm, the fight becomes far more consistent and controlled.
It is important not to get greedy. Overcommitting can leave you exposed to sudden counterattacks. Focus on short, efficient damage bursts, then reset your position and repeat.
