Zhuyan is a giant white ape demon in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty that will destroy you if you’re not careful. If you’ve died about a million times to him, here’s how to defeat him.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is not an easy game, and chances are you’ll die to bosses several times before moving on unless you’re a soulslike pro. If you’re having trouble with Zhuyan, Like all bosses, to have the best chance to beat him, it’s best to run past all the lower-level mobs leading to him so that you don’t take unnecessary damage.
How to Beat Zhuyan in Wo Long Fallen Dynasty
Zhuyan is an ape boss whose attacks have a long wind-up, enabling players to easily parry and counterattack for massive sums of damage. To defeat Zhuyan, circle it at a distance and wait for it to wind up its special double front kick, parry it, then counter it to fill up the demon’s Spirit Gauge. Once filled, use a heavy attack to unleash a powerful counter blow. Continue to utilize this technique until you down the monster, which only has one form.
It’s best not to attack Zhuyan straight on — it’s better to wait for it to attack you first, counter, then attack it. When it begins its animation for the three-punch combo, make sure you’re blocking because it’s fairly hard to parry this attack.
Zhuyan Attacks
Zhuyan has three primary attacks and only one form — making him a fairly easy demon to counter. His attacks include:
- Triple slam combo: Use block until after the third blow, or dodge away from this attack.
- Double-fisted slam: This is telegraphed and can be easily parried.
- Special Double Front Kick: Parrying this telegraphed attack will result in massive counter damage.
Get to know the timing of each of these attacks, and it will make parrying them a lot easier.

Defeating the ape demon Zhuyan results in the following drops for players:
- Official Seal: 3 Star
