Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Obtain the Old Rattle-Drum: Defeat the Tiger Acolyte boss, found on the second bridge near the Windrest Hamlet Shrine in the Yellow Wind Formation. This area is accessible after defeating the Tiger Vanguard. The Tiger Acolyte drops the Old Rattle-Drum Key Item.
  2. 2
    Use the Rattle-Drum (Location 1): From the Windseal Gate Shrine in Yellow Wind Formation, go left and cross the rope bridge. Enter the dilapidated building and proceed through it. You will encounter a gray mist, hear coughing, and a young girl's voice. Use the Rattle-Drum when prompted.
  3. 3
    Use the Rattle-Drum (Location 2): From the Windrest Hamlet Shrine in Yellow Wind Formation, go down the slope into the village. Turn left past the gate to find another gray mist area. Use the Rattle-Drum when prompted.
  4. 4
    Use the Rattle-Drum (Location 3): From the Village Entrance Shrine in Sandgate Village, cross the bridge and head right into the meadow. Proceed to the broken wooden bridge. Head left towards a building and follow the wall left to an area with the Earth Wolf boss. Near the Earth Wolf boss arena, facing the Shortcut door, turn right. Use the Rattle-Drum in this area. A scene will play, prompting you to jump down the well.
  5. 5
    Defeat the Mad Tiger: After using the Rattle-Drum at the third location and jumping down the well, you will face the Mad Tiger boss.
Tips
  • The Tiger Acolyte is an elite enemy; use skills like Immobilize, Rock Solid/Cloud Step, and Red Tides.
  • When using the Rattle-Drum, you'll notice the screen turn gray, hear coughing, and a girl's voice.
  • The Mad Tiger is aggressive. Use the Composure skill to dodge effectively without interrupting combos. Stay close, attack 1-2 times, then dodge.
  • When the Mad Tiger leaps with a boulder, dodge towards him as he lands to create an opening.
  • Consider using an Evil Repelling Medicament for defense.
  • Use the Rock Solid form when available. Save your Transformation for the second half of the fight (under 50% HP).
  • If you need to heal, use Immobilize to create an opening.
  • Plaguebane Gourd (found in a chest in the Mad Tiger boss arena at the bottom of the well).
  • Mad Tiger Spirit (absorbable after defeating the Mad Tiger).
  • Achievement/Trophy: "The Tiger Family" (if you've defeated both brothers and the father).
  • A second achievement/trophy (details not fully provided in source).
