Hua boss guide: exploding lilies and the red grab
Read the lily hazards before choosing an opening.
Quick answer
Move out of exploding lilies, watch for teleport follow-ups after white flowers and dodge the red grab. Do not build this fight around bleed.

Find the field below the tower
Near the tower’s first-floor bell, follow the lower opening and long wooden ramp into the red-flower cavern, then take the left uphill route to the arena. Register the nearby bell before this optional encounter.
Answer the threat first
| Cue | Response |
|---|---|
| New red blooms / closing ring | Move outside the affected area before returning. |
| Tracking white lilies | Block or evade, then watch for Hua’s teleport follow-up. |
| Red grab | Use the red-attack dodge response, not a regular block. |
Equipment and the final pickup
Avoid relying on bleed; familiar starting weapons are a practical alternative. Victory grants Scarlet Wraithblade, but the quest flower still needs a separate corpse interaction by the pavilion.

More attack cues and counters
| Attack identifier | Response |
|---|---|
| Floating lilies | Move sideways; flowers can conceal an incoming grab. |
| Double spin | Guard first, parry second, then watch for a red follow-up. |
| Teleport slash | When she vanishes at range, keep moving and anticipate the quick return. |
| Overhead wind-up | Interrupt early if safe; otherwise backstep rather than trading. |
