Bai Kru is one of the most intense and emotional boss fights in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, tying directly into Wuchang’s mysterious past. Found deep within the Bai Estate, this relentless, monstrous toddler demands quick reflexes, careful planning, and the right tools to defeat. This guide covers how to prepare, counter their attacks, and emerge victorious with key rewards.
Finding Bai Kru & Wuchang’s Past
Wuchang’s journey in Fallen Feathers is deeply personal, centered on uncovering who she truly is and what draws her to the land of Shu. With little to guide her aside from a vague directive from He Youzai to find her sister, Bai Yu, she’s left piecing things together on her own.
As you progress, subtle hints begin to reveal her roots. Eventually, your path leads beyond Zhenwu Temple, where you’ll stumble upon a boat that transports you to a significant place from her past. This forgotten estate holds echoes of old memories—including those of a brother whose fate played a role in her family’s collapse.
Bai Kru’s Strengths & Weak Spots
Bai Kru fights with speed and unpredictability, constantly keeping you on edge. They’re quick to lunge in for a powerful grab, so sharp timing and dodging are essential. You can’t block or parry their attacks, and they’re completely unfazed by flinching, meaning your only real defense is to stay agile and time your dodges well.
Elemental damage won’t help much here—especially fire, which they resist heavily. Instead, your best bet is Paralysis. It’s great for interrupting their flow and opening up damage windows, especially when applied through Tempering at the Impetus Repository. They also build stagger fairly quickly due to how aggressive they are, so don’t be afraid to stay on the offensive.
Preparing for the Bai Kru Fight
Before going head-to-head with Bai Kru, take a moment to scout the Bai Estate. While the area doesn’t hold much in terms of loot, there’s one standout discovery—a faint white glow in the garden. Interacting with it unlocks Demonbane Strike, a short-range spell that packs a punch, deals great stagger damage, and can topple even powerful human-like foes.
Since Bai Kru tends to interrupt you mid-action with a sudden roar, equipping the Dracolich Pendant from the Mercury Mines can help you resist flinching and stay on the offensive. Aside from that, Bai Kru sticks to physical hits with no elemental tricks, so it’s a good idea to bolster your defense and toughen up before the encounter.
How To Beat Bai Kru
Bai Kru’s biggest threat is their relentless speed, they’re constantly darting around the arena, either closing in for a grab or leaping away. Rather than chasing them down, it’s smarter to hold your ground and wait for them to come to you, focusing on well-timed dodges to stay safe.
To make the fight more manageable, apply Paralysis to slow them down and look for safe healing windows after big moves like their slam or tentacle spray. If you got here early, you can summon He Youzai to help soak up some of the heat during the fight.
For a faster win, aim to break Bai Kru’s stance, Demonbane Strike is ideal for this. After moves like the Leaping Slam, they tend to pause just long enough for you to land a clean hit and build stagger quickly. Also, spells with Alacrity, like Burning Flames or Vortex Plume, can keep you nimble and help avoid extended combos.
Bai Kru’s Attacks (And How To Handle Them)
Bai Kru doesn’t shift into a new phase, but a few extra moves get added as their health dips. Still, their attack pattern remains largely consistent from start to finish. Here’s how to deal with each move:
Crushing Drop
Bai Kru jumps up and crashes down on you, sometimes leaping around a bit first.
➤ Lock on and dodge as they drop. There’s usually a window to counterattack right after.
Spout Surge
A stream of water shoots upward from their mouth.
➤ Dodge sideways, but note the stream is wider than it looks.
Twin Slash Barrage
Basic double slashes, sometimes ending in a slam.
➤ Roll into the swipes, squeeze in a hit between them.
Hooking Swing
A quick arm sweep to throw you off.
➤ Roll into it if you see it coming.
Pounding Frenzy
Multiple ground slams ending in a big uppercut.
➤ Dodge backwards—watch out for the wide final slam and fast follow-up.
Lunging Clutch
They lunge at you with both arms open. If they miss, they roar.
➤ Wait to dodge until their arms start closing. After the roar, hit hard unless you’re wearing the Dracolich Pendant.
Pouncing Smash
Quick hops ending in a mini-slam.
➤ Same dodge timing as the Leaping Slam.
Flip Slash
A backflip paired with a slash.
➤ Hard to dodge, but low damage. Try rolling if you spot their arm move.

➤ Run into the spray and dodge through the geysers. Just don’t get hit by their mouth.

➤ Easy dodge. Staying close usually prevents this move altogether.
Repositioning Slice
A slash while they reposition by diving.
