Read the dangerous sequence
Early in the fight, clear troublesome puppets while watching the boss’s giant puppet parts. Unlike Bi Hai, he can still take damage while adds exist. In the clone section, the red-eyed figure is fake: attack the black-faced body. Side-dodge the giant half-puppet palm. Victory grants Puppeteer’s Bell.
