Acquire the Red Tides Transformation Spell by retrieving the fiery blade after defeating a boss. This spell allows you to transform into the defeated boss, utilizing its powers in combat. It also removes status effects upon reverting to your regular health bar.
Transformation Spell: Red Tides Usage
After acquiring the fiery blade, you gain the Transformation Spell: Red Tides. This spell grants you the ability to transform into the boss you just defeated, allowing you to utilize its powers against other enemies or bosses. Before leaving the area, break pots for Will and collect Aged Ginseng.
When confronting Guangmou, if he calls out to his "Boys," he summons poisonous snakes that spit venom. You can run and dodge, or use your staff spin to block projectiles, but this drains stamina. Guangmou lacks effective melee defenses, and his slow, charging explosion can be interrupted by closing the gap and using light attack combos.
If you have defeated the Wandering Wight, its Spirit Attack can knock Guangmou down with a powerful headbutt, preventing his teleportation. The Red Tides spell can be used if you are at risk of being poisoned. Transforming with this spell removes any status effects when you revert to your regular health bar. Guangmou will even comment on your transformation.
