New version, new challenges! Version 1.2.3 kicks off with a brand-new difficulty dungeon, featuring the formidable debut of [Raid on Mirror Sky Pavilion - Forbidden Pavilion (Heroic)]! Shadow Puppetry Xing Tian and Twin Shades, Dong Jun and Xi Zheng, invite you to step into the performance once more. Bosses' Treasures and rare materials await to be claimed!

I. Shadow Puppetry Xing Tian

　　New Mechanic I: Three types of Shadow Puppeteers are added to the stage in Stage I. Defeating them grants corresponding stage costumes.

　　Ox-head Puppeteer: Can directly destroy cages.

　　Horse-Faced Puppeteer: Releases a rain of spikes to shoot down meteors from the sky.

　　Monkey Puppeteer: Can return directly to the painting after being severely wounded within it.

　　Strategy: Each stage costume disappears immediately after use. Pay attention to the timing of their use.

　　New Mechanic II: In Stage I, while in the painting, Xing Tian will expose a weakness and perform a Dash.

　　Strategy: After Xing Tian's Dash, quickly close in and use a sword leap attack on the weakness, or use a bow to aim and shoot it.

　　New Mechanic III: While in the painting, Xing Tian will randomly release cages to imprison players. Imprisoned players require other players to break the cage to move again.

　　Strategy: All players should stay close to Xing Tian. This way, when cages appear, they can be broken while attacking Xing Tian. Alternatively, use the Ox-head Puppeteer skill to directly shatter the cages.

　　New Mechanic IV: In Stage II, when Xing Tian's HP drops to 65%, and all players are teleported out of the painting, the Twin Shades mini-bosses must be killed separately. If they are together, they gain a significant Defense boost and recover HP. Simultaneously, Shadow Puppeteers will appear on both sides of the map and must be defeated.

　　Strategy: One Ironclad player should pull one of the Twin Shades to the location where a Puppeteer will appear and handle that boss alone. The other boss is focused down by the group. Also, be aware of the Puppeteers appearing on the map; the group should assign players to defeat them. After one is killed, the group should switch focus to the other. After all bosses are defeated, pick up the stage costumes on the ground before re-entering the painting.

　　New Mechanic V: In Stage II, while inside the painting, Xing Tian will release a Meteor Shower, dealing high damage.

　　Strategy: The player who picks up the Horse Face Costume should communicate with the group and activate the costume's skill. This can directly knock down all meteors, or alternatively, use the bow to aim and destroy the meteors.

II. Dong Jun and Xi Zheng

　　New Mechanic I: The boss will unleash a long, linear Sword Qi that traverses the entire map. If this Sword Qi strikes the boss, it will reduce the boss's HP.

　　Strategy: The player targeted by the Sword Qi should position themselves on a line parallel to the two bosses. This will cause the Sword Qi from both bosses to strike each other, significantly reducing their HP.

　　New Mechanic II: During the icicle phase, two giant icicles will appear. Three Falling Thunder strikes are required to shatter an icicle and obtain a Glacial Thunder Spear.

　　Strategy: During the icicle release phase, all players should gather together. The Ironclad should deploy the Taichi Seal to negate the damage from the icicles. This causes the icicles to spawn in a more concentrated location, reducing the difficulty of clearing them.

　　New Mechanic III: After picking up the Glacial Thunder Spear generated by the giant icicle, it requires two rounds of power transmission. Once the transmission is complete, throwing it at the boss will deal damage and knock the boss off the cliff.

　　Strategy: Designate players in advance for power transmission and for picking up the large Glacial Thunder Spear. Lure the boss to the edge of the cliff. First, use a small Glacial Thunder Spear to break the boss's defense, preventing it from entering its Combo skill state. Then, pick up the large Glacial Thunder Spear, wait for other players to complete the power transmission, and finally throw it at the boss to knock it off the cliff.

　　New Mechanic IV: After the Falling Thunder shatters the icicles, Glacial Thunder Spirits will appear in the four corners of the map. They will lock onto the nearest player, approach them, and self-destruct, dealing massive area-of-effect damage.

　　Strategy: Designate players in advance to attract the Glacial Thunder Spirits. Immediately after the spirits appear, approach them. When the self-destruct red circle appears, use a Break Free Skill to withstand the damage. Alternatively, upon first contact with a spirit, perform a triple jump to escape the blast radius. Additionally, you can throw a small Glacial Thunder Spear at a spirit to eliminate it directly.

　　With this guide in hand, first clear will be easy. See you at the peak of the Mirror Sky Pavilion!
