To clarify, you can only witness the Jin Tiger battle once you manage to reach the hidden locale, the Zodiac Village. This village becomes accessible towards the end of Chapter Three. To unveil this hidden gem, follow this series of occurrences:

  • After this, players just defeat Chen-Loong, who can be found east of the North Shore of Bitter Lake Shrine, in a shallow body of water.

  • Deliver this to Chen-Loong and they will give you the Ruyi Scroll, allowing you to access the Zodiac Village.

After reaching the Zodiac Village, move in the direction of Shen Monkey and Xu Dog, then keep going east. You will encounter Yin Tiger there. When you’re ready, engage in a battle with them by choosing the ‘Challenge’ option after having a conversation with them.

The battle will commence as the Yin Tiger assumes a defensive posture and prepares to meet you. You have two options: charge at them and initiate their close combat strike or bide your time until they abandon their defense and approach you. In either scenario, they’re apt to deploy a spinning air attack with a narrow window for evasion.

Following our initial encounter, they’re likely to vanish and launch a sequence of surprise assaults. During this period, you won’t be able to lock onto them, so pay attention for audible cues and evade when they reappear. The opening three attacks offer a sizeable window for dodging, but the last one requires skillful execution.

In this assault, the weapon heats up fiery red before being thrust into the ground twice. The third impact causes a burst beneath their feet.

In some instances, the sequence may deviate slightly, and it commences with an aerial assault, diving straight towards you. Conclusively, it involves a swift spinning attack that whirls once, followed immediately by a second spin. The timing of this attack is extraordinarily precise, so if you’ve charged up, use this move to dodge potential injury.

Once you reduce their health to roughly half, it’s an excellent moment to play aggressively. Utilizing a transformation lets you attack them recklessly, swinging wildly to deplete their health meter significantly. If timed correctly, this could quickly bring their health down to a minimal amount.

The only other thing you need to look out for is his grab/gale attack, where they will stagger you and lock you in an inescapable animation where they slam their blade right down on your spine. It’s not a huge damage dealer, but one that will definitely affect your flow.

In truth, while there are some little things you can do, like combining spells and transformations to boost their effectiveness and make the most of things like Pillar Stance, the only way to truly ace this fight is to understand their attack timing down to a tee, and pick your moments to strike very carefully. Greed will only lead to failure in this fight.

Rewards For Defeating Yin Tiger

Should you successfully conquer the Yin Tiger, the game bestows upon the victor a unique transformation. This transformation is a magic-granted ability that enables the player to assume the form of the Yin Tiger themselves.

This transformation is a much slower one when compared to, say, Red Tides, but the trade-off is much stronger, insanely powerful strikes, a might bar that takes quite some time to deplete, allowing you to stay in this form for longer than most.

As a gamer, I can tell you that you’ve got the knack for deflecting enemy assaults! Not only can you take in these attacks, but you’re also equipped to retaliate with powerful counterstrikes.
