Each boss in Gui Gu Eight Desolations has different challenge difficulties. Among many bosses, Empress Houtu has been consistently regarded as the most difficult big boss. Today, I will talk about how to defeat Houtu in Gui Gu Eight Desolations. This boss is extremely challenging, and successfully defeating it is no easy task. With this guide on how to beat Houtu, all players can easily handle it.

The reason why Houtu is considered one of the most special bosses is mainly because it's almost impossible to see her losing health during combat. To defeat Houtu, you need to pay attention to the following aspects:
1、Understand Houtu's abilities
It is very difficult to inflict damage on Houtu. Before attacking her, we must first understand her abilities. Her most obvious ability is her 100% evasion rate, which allows her to dodge all our attacks. Moreover, she can completely ignore our damage and is immune to any control skills.

2、Prioritize the small monsters (stone golems)
After entering the dungeon, when we attack Houtu for a while, she will create stone golems to fight us. When the stone golems appear, don't rush to attack Houtu; focus on the stone golems first. Use fire-based skills to attack the stone golems. Once the stone golems are defeated, Houtu's health will drop significantly.
3、Character positioning
The hardest part of challenging Houtu is that no matter how high your burst damage is, it doesn't help much against her. Even with high burst damage, you cannot quickly end the battle. Therefore, you need to use agile movement to gradually wear her down.

4、Choose the right difficulty level
Before the challenge, you also need to choose the difficulty level of the dungeon. Different difficulties affect the boss's strength. If you choose the normal mode, fighting Houtu will be relatively easier. In the Primordial Chaos mode, fighting Houtu becomes terrifyingly difficult. Different difficulties require different strategies. If you're facing the Primordial Chaos difficulty, you should first target the golden stone golem, which is Houtu's true form.

This concludes the simple introduction on how to defeat Houtu in Gui Gu Eight Desolations. All players who have failed to defeat Houtu can refer to this guide and try again. With the help of this guide, you can succeed in one attempt.
