Gu Cloudstrike is the first boss you will encounter in the Shado-Pan Monastery. The fight against him is a 3-phase battle. During the first phase, you will face Gu and his Azure Serpent. Once Gu reaches 50% health, the second phase will begin, and Gu will become invulnerable. You will need to kill his Azure Serpent, which has two abilities: Lightning Breath and Magnetic Shroud. In the third phase, you will need to defeat Gu, who will cast Overcharged Soul, which hits all party members.

The second boss is Master Snowdrift, who can be found in the Snowdrift Dojo. Before engaging with Snowdrift, you will need to defeat his students: Shado-Pan Novices, Flying Snow, and Fragrant Lotus. The fight against Snowdrift is also divided into three phases. In the first phase, Snowdrift has two damaging attacks: Fists of Fury and Tornado Kick, which players should avoid. In the second phase, Snowdrift creates images of himself that cast Ball of Fire. These images must be attacked and destroyed while avoiding the Balls of Fire. In the third phase, Snowdrift has two abilities: Tornado Slam and Parry Stance. During Tornado Slam, Snowdrift will chase a random raid member and inflict physical damage if he catches them. In Parry Stance, melee attacks will result in heavy damage and a stun, while ranged attacks will only inflict low physical damage.

The third boss is the Sha of Violence, which can be found in the Sealed Chambers. During the fight, the Sha of Violence will cast Smoke Blades, creating a smoky cloud around itself that inflicts damage on players inside it. It will also cast Sha Spike, summoning a Lesser Volatile Energy enemy and dealing damage and knocking players back. The healer and tank should also watch out for Disorienting Smash and Enrage, which can deal heavy damage.

The final boss is Taran Zhu, who is mind-controlled by the Sha of Hatred. This encounter has complex mechanics, including the Hatred mechanic, which fills up as you take damage from Taran Zhu, reducing your chance to hit and healing done. There are several abilities to watch out for, such as Rising Hate, Ring of Malice, Sha Blast, and Gripping Hatred, which creates a damaging Sha zone and pulls party members into it.
