Chief Disciple: Seven Stars is a story encounter in Village of Lu, fought during the mid-late stretch of Phantom Blade Zero. It drops no weapon, so the reward is the route it opens rather than the loot.
Also written as Seven Stars, corrupted puppet boss. Same encounter — launch-week guides spell the name inconsistently.

What this fight tests
Structure reading. A corrupted puppet with a two-phase design — the fight changes register rather than just getting faster.
How to beat Chief Disciple: Seven Stars
- Do not carry phase-one habits into phase two. The puppet re-rigs its moveset at the transition.
- Phase transitions are invulnerable. Use the window to heal; do not waste a Power Surge on it.
- Checkpointing at phase two means you can throw attempts at the second half without re-clearing the first.
The loop underneath all of it is the same one every boss uses: parry the blue flash, Ghoststep the red one, drain Sha-Chi, then punish the stagger with Power Surge. Phase transitions are invulnerable — heal and reposition instead of swinging into them. And dying in a later phase restarts you at that phase, not at the beginning, so you can throw attempts at the hard half.
The mistake most players make
Assuming "two-phase" means "same fight, more health". Here the second phase is a different opponent in the same body.
