Tianwang Guide: Safe Spacing and Gourd Capture
The safest Tianwang plan is not to crowd the enemy. Keep an exit open, control the approach, and let one player attempt the community-documented gourd capture while the rest protect the route.
Fan guide based on current community observations; mechanics may change after updates.
Quick answer
When Tianwang appears, avoid stacking the whole team in a narrow corridor. Assign one gourd user, one lure, one lookout, and one retreat caller. Treat the capture behavior as community-observed and verify the current in-game response after updates.

| Signal | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Open route | The team can disengage | Keep the exit clear |
| Stable facing | One player can approach | Let only the gourd user move in |
| No response | Capture may be failing | Abort and reset |
Identify Tianwang
Tianwang is described as a huge guardian-like supernatural threat. In dark rooms, prioritize movement cues, attack wind-up, and the nearest exit instead of standing still for a perfect visual check.

Route pressure
Treat a narrowing route as the main danger signal.
Community-observed mechanics
Check the current in-game response instead of assuming older notes are permanent.
Retreat before confirmation
You do not need a perfect visual identification to preserve the team.
Three-step capture plan
Choose the retreat route first. The lure stabilizes Tianwang's direction, the gourd user enters only the needed range, and the team cancels immediately if the route closes or the capture gives no response.
1. Mark the exit
Choose the fallback route before anyone approaches.
Never begin inside a dead end.
2. Separate roles
The lure controls direction; only the gourd user enters capture range.
Avoid stacking players.
3. Cancel early
Reset when the route closes, a teammate falls, or the capture gives no response.
A failed attempt is not a reason to overcommit.
Team roles
A four-player team can split lure, gourd, perimeter watch, and retreat calls. Smaller groups should favor survival and extraction over forcing a capture attempt.
| Role | Job | Callout |
|---|---|---|
| Lure | Control direction | Facing stable |
| Gourd user | Attempt capture | Using now |
| Lookout | Watch side threats | Route clear |
| Retreat caller | End the attempt | Reset |
Common mistakes
Common failures include everyone approaching at once, starting in a dead end, repeating a failed capture, and treating old community notes as guaranteed current mechanics.
Crowding the target
The whole group loses the exit together.
Starting in a dead end
There is no safe reset when the attempt fails.
Repeating a failed use
A missing response should trigger retreat, not longer exposure.
Ignoring update uncertainty
Community mechanics need current in-game verification.

Short answers for the main encounter questions.
Community guides focus on capture or avoidance rather than a normal damage race. Verify current behavior in-game because updates may change the encounter.
Secure an exit, let a lure control its facing, and have one player use the gourd from a safe angle. Abort if the route closes or the attempt does not respond.
Community references present the gourd as the main capture tool. Confirm its current behavior and availability in your version.
Four players make role separation easier, but route control matters more than team size. Small teams should prioritize escape.
