Short Answer

Buddha’s Right Hand is a Chapter 4 Webbed Hollow boss at Cliff of Oblivion. The fight has two distinct rhythms: first you dodge hand swipes and falling debris, then you reposition behind the exposed bug body while it adds poison. Save your strongest control for the bug phase unless the hand phase is already costing too many heals.

Route And Unlock Context

From the Cliff of Oblivion shrine path, move forward until you reach the hand and the floating mirror trigger. Interacting with the encounter starts the fight, so take a moment before the trigger to slot poison cures and a reliable repositioning tool.

This is a Webbed Hollow progression fight on the Cliff of Oblivion route. Its reward set includes Buddha’s Right Hand and Past-Echo, and it sits on the same Chapter 4 route web as Centipede Guai, Baw-Li-Guhh-Baw, and the later cave bosses. Clearing it also removes one of the more awkward narrow-arena checks in Webbed Hollow.

Fight Plan

In the opening hand phase, stay close enough that the boss commits to swipes instead of making you chase it, but do not tunnel on the palm. The hand can slap the walls and shake debris loose, so finish short strings and roll away before the rock fall starts.

When the body changes into bug form, shift your plan from “hit the hand” to “live behind the body.” The poison spit is most dangerous when you stand in front or drift too far away. Circle toward the rear, punish after spits and body drops, and spend Immobilize or A Pluck of Many only when you can stay on the boss safely.

Moves To Respect

  • Wall slam and falling rocks: watch the hand hit the side wall, then move before attacking again. The rocks punish stationary healing.
  • Wide swipe: dodge into the safe side and answer with a short combo, not a full Focus dump.
  • Phase change into bug form: expect poison immediately. Reset your camera and move behind the body before trying to burst.
  • Poison spit: do not backpedal in a straight line. Circle behind and punish after the stream ends.

Bring a poison cure, Cloud Step, and one fast Spirit. Wandering Wight-style burst works well because the boss gives short, obvious windows after hand slams and bug-body recovery. A Pluck of Many can help in either phase, but it is stronger after the boss stops skittering long enough for the clones to connect.

If you are low on mana, use spells only to stabilize the transition. The hand phase is learnable with basic dodges; the bug phase is where a missed dodge can become poison, panic healing, and a second hit.

Common Mistakes

  • Burning every cooldown in the hand phase, then entering the poison bug phase with no control.
  • Healing under falling rocks instead of after a finished attack sequence.
  • Standing in front of the bug form because lock-on keeps pulling the camera there.
  • Trying to chase the moving hand with long combos and losing stamina.

Quality Check Before You Move On

You have the fight under control when the hand phase costs no more than one heal and you can consistently get behind the bug form before poison spit starts.

Does the fight have a phase change?

Yes. The boss starts as a hand-focused fight and later reveals a bug form that adds poison pressure.
