Where to find Meng Hua
Meng Hua moveset and attacks
Red lances from above
From her distant hovering position, she sends glowing red lances plunging across the field in your direction.
Light pillars
Red glowing circles form on the snow before pillars of red light descend onto them. As the battle advances, multiple pillars can strike around you simultaneously.
Burning ground lines
She plants a long red spear in the snow, sending circular bands of burning lines outward over the ground.
Fan sweeps
Within close quarters, she carves broad, dark-red arcs through the air with her bladed fan.
Lightning
White-pink lightning branches down onto the snow in the area around you.
Frost wave
Shaped like her fan, a blue wave of frost travels over the ground toward you.
Fan wings
She ascends with enormous fan blades opened around her, forming a wing-like shape.
Allies in the Meng Hua fight
As the battle unfolds, Soul hears Inanis’s voice calling to him.
Other figures join Soul in the fight; among them is a glowing golden figure that attacks her.
She asks Soul why he refuses to become her new Herald, then warns that she will erase him completely, leaving not even a speck of dust.
In our run, Meng Hua was knocked to the ground once mid-fight, and Inanis’s voice said “She’s yours now. Finish her!” The attempt still ended in a loss.
Tips for fighting Meng Hua
- Before heading down the road, rest at the bell called Soulrend Cliff. In our run, it was the bell Soul came back to after each death.
- Watch the snow for glowing red circles; they indicate the spots where the pillars of light will strike.
- Neither close nor long range is safe from her attacks, so keeping your distance won’t put you beyond her reach.
- In our run, the Wayfarer attempt lasted about seven and a half minutes before the loss.

The card shows a five-attack Standard Combo alongside a Sha-Chi Combo and Arcane Sigils, then poses the question “Equip the new weapon now?”
A second reward card, The Lady’s Crown, sits under “Weapon Soul Tempering Materials”.
Its card text reads “A crown that fell from the head of the Merciful Lady of the Veil.”
