How to Beat Lion Dance Grandmaster's Final Dance
The Final Dance is beatable by turning the first phase into a checkpoint lesson and then reading the named attack openings. Defeating the first phase creates a checkpoint, so a loss in the Final Dance restarts at phase two, according to Mobalytics. Use that restart to learn the fireball and fire-pillar timing without replaying the opening sequence.
The Grandmaster's visible moves mix fire breath, fireballs, a chainsaw, and blades on the dancers' shoes, as the phantombladezero.vi.ki fan site describes. Water splashed from vats cuts the fire damage, so the water is the clearest opening named for the fight. During the Final Dance, Flame jumps onto rising fire pillars; clear the summoned lion dancers, then execute the final Ho-Ho when ordinary attacks stop reducing its health.
- Track Flame when he leaps into the air; dodge as he comes down because the impact is delayed, as Mobalytics notes.
- In the Final Dance, hop across poles and fire a small cannon at the boss, as GamesRadar reports.
- Keep attention on the moment ordinary attacks stop reducing health; that is the cue for the final Ho-Ho after the summoned dancers are clear.

Our take on the Final Dance
The settled part of the Lion Dance Grandmasters Phantom Blade Zero fight is the two-phase structure and the water-vat answer to fire damage. Mobalytics gives the clearest phase-two sequence, GamesRadar adds the pole-and-cannon step, and All Things How confirms the Dormant Flaming Mane reward.
The safer read is to watch the attack gaps and keep the water-vat opening in mind instead of forcing extra risks. Nearby preparation pages include Bosses for encounter comparisons, Weapons for the weapon index, and Phantom Edges for the combat move list. These pages support the same action-RPG structure that the Steam store page describes, and they keep the Final Dance advice separate from the wider boss catalog. Use them when you want to check a weapon or move without leaving the boss route.
