So, put away your safari gear and prepare your gaming rig. This journey takes place in a world of mythical creatures and epic combat, not a real-world forest. This guide will help you navigate the game world to find and defeat this beast.

| How To Find Tiger Vanguard |
Step 2: Navigate to the Crouching Tiger Temple
The primary location of the Tiger Vanguard is the Crouching Tiger Temple in Chapter 2. This is a required boss fight, meaning you must defeat him to progress in the main story. Getting to the temple is a journey in itself, so let's break it down.
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.
Sub-heading: The Path from Sandgate Village
Start your journey from Sandgate Village. This is a key hub in Chapter 2. From here, you'll need to defeat the King of Flowing Sands and the Second Rat Prince in the Valley of Despair. Once you've emerged victorious from that battle, look for a crack in the wall. You need to squeeze through this crack to continue. After a short distance, you'll reach a small, slanted bridge. Cross it, and you'll find a gap to squeeze through, leading you to the "Temple Entrance" Shrine outside the Crouching Tiger Temple.
Step 3: Ascend the Temple Steps and Prepare for Battle
Once you've reached the Temple Entrance Shrine, your destination is just a straight trek up the temple steps. As you ascend, be on your guard. The area is likely to have other enemies, so be prepared for a fight.
Sub-heading: Gearing Up for the Fight
This is not a fight you want to rush into. The Tiger Vanguard is known for his agility and incredibly damaging attacks. Before you engage, make sure you have:
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.
Your best armor and weapons crafted. Upgrading your gear is crucial for surviving his devastating blows.
A good supply of consumable medicines. Items like the Evil Repelling Medicament and the Tiger Subduing Pellets can make a significant difference.
A full focus bar. You'll want to unleash your most powerful abilities during this fight.
Step 4: Engage the Tiger Vanguard
You will find the Tiger Vanguard in the center of the Crouching Tiger Temple. He's an intimidating foe, but with a good strategy, you can overcome him.
Sub-heading: A Fight of Agility and Patience
The Tiger Vanguard is a relentless beast. Don't be fooled by the sword on his back; he often relies on his fists and martial arts.
Dodge and Weave: He's incredibly agile, with a mix of heavy punches, kicks, and slams. He can quickly strafe to your side before a flying punch.
Learn his Combos: Pay close attention to his attack patterns. For example, he might start with a right hook and a delayed punch, which is always followed by a quick leg sweep. Don't counter this combo.
Punish his Recoveries: After some of his more powerful attacks, he'll take a moment to recover. This is your window to launch a light combo.
Watch for his Stances: When he assumes a martial arts stance, be ready for a spinning kick. Time your dodge to the very last moment.
Step 5: Finding the Secret "Tiger Vanguard"
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
Did you know there's another version of this boss? Yes, there's a secret, optional miniboss named the "Tiger Vanguard" in a secret area called the Kingdom of Sahali. Finding him is a whole different adventure!
Sub-heading: The Drunken Boar's Questline
To unlock this secret area and find the other Tiger Vanguard, you must complete a specific questline involving a character called the Drunk Boar (also known as the Yellow-Robed Squire).
Find the Drunk Boar: He's located in the Rockrest Flat part of the Fright Cliff region.
Sober him up: The boar is inebriated and needs a Sobering Stone. You can find this stone in a glowing pot in the Windrest Hamlet, or you can buy it from the Man-in-Stone.
Find him at the Temple: After sobering him up, he'll move to the Crouching Tiger Temple. Talk to him there.
Bring him a Jade Lotus: He'll complain about the meat quality and ask for a Jade Lotus. You can find these in most bodies of water in the game.
Follow his lead: After getting the lotus, he'll talk about a "Realm of Gold" and leave. This leads you to a boss fight with the First Prince of Flowing Sand (the rat king), who drops the Arhat Gold Piece.
Find him again and follow him: He'll return to the Rockrest Flat, and now, he'll be standing by a large, previously inaccessible door. Defeat him and follow him through the doors to enter the Kingdom of Sahali, where you will find the optional "Tiger Vanguard" mini-boss.
