Once done, you need to catch the legendary King Carp as part of the quest. After catching the fish, the quest will conclude, and it will initiate a cutscene in which the Cat Emperor will appear.

The Cat Emperor has a variety of attacks, from melee hits to AOE. As the Cat Emperor cannot be exhausted with Qi, you need to use more of a steady build with Mystic Arts that deal damage over time. Moreover, using the ranged weapons can also help you defeat the Cat Emperor without much sweat.

How to Defeat Cat Emperor in Where Winds Meet
The Cat Emperor is a two-phase boss fight with unique moves in each phase. You can find each move and how to counter them in each phase in the tables below.
Phase 1
Attack | Description | Counter |
Pounce | As the initial phase begins, the Cat Emperor charges itself and pounces at your position. | It is best to dodge to the side to avoid taking damage from the initial leap. |
Paw and Spin Strikes | The Cat Emperor swings the carp in your direction to hit you. | These strikes are easily parried. Parry the attack to keep the offense on the Cat Emperor. |
Fish Slam | The Cat Emperor charges the carp and slams it into the ground. After the slam, a few fish come out of the ground in the area. | You can easily avoid this attack by going to the back of the Cat Emperor. This gives you a great opening to unleash your swift attacks on the boss. |
Rolling | If the Cat Emperor catches on fire by the use of your Dragon’s breath, it will jump up and start rolling on the ground. | If you see Cat Emperor on fire, dodge backward and let the boss roll on the ground. While it is rolling, you can hit it with ranged attacks for additional damage. |
Water Spray | The Cat Emperor holds the carp to spray water in your direction. | It is best to move out of the range of the water. If you stay close, it will knock you over. |
Kick Combo | The Cat Emperor kicks you and follows it up with a carp strike. | These melee strikes can be easily parried. |
Other than the initial leap and the water spray attack, you can parry all of the attacks. It is best to use the swift attacks on the Cat Emperor to get most of the damage in. Alternatively, if you are using ranged attacks, make use of the Soulshade Umbrella. Moreover, try to use the Dragon’s Breath for damage over time.
Phase 2
Attack | Description | Counter |
Back Riding | The Cat Emperor gets on its back and starts circling the arena. | Keep out of the way of the Cat Emperor. Dodge to the side to avoid the hit. |
Falling Energy Balls | The Cat Emperor will summon Energy Balls that fall from the sky and follow the player’s position. | You cannot parry the Energy Balls. It is best to run around in the arena and dodge as you are about to get hit by the energy ball. |
Charged Melee Attack | The Carp will glow red before the Cat Emperor slams it on you, and follow it up with additional strikes. | These melee attacks can easily be parried. However, if you miss the parry, the strikes can knock you over. You can dodge them easily if you do not want to parry. |
Other than these attacks, the Cat Emperor uses most of the attacks from the initial phase in the second phase. You can continue the offense with swift attacks and parry the possible attacks to maintain the aggression. Keep on using the Dragon’s Breath to deal damage over time, but be ready to back up when the Cat Emperor gets on fire. By keeping the aggression and dodging away swiftly from attacks, it will take you no time to defeat the Cat Emperor.
