The quick answer
Fight Ye Wanshan through Bodhi Sea and deflect the qualifying red attacks to build Flaming Meteor comprehension. Fill the learning meter and finish the encounter. A fast victory without the required deflects can leave the skill locked.

Open the Bodhi Sea encounter
Bodhi Sea is in Qinghe’s Sundara Land. Progress its quest until you can enter Ye Wanshan’s fight. If you have already completed that story, use the campaign’s repeatable encounter and inspect the entry conditions shown there.
Do not confuse Flaming Meteor with Meteor Flight. One is a Mystic Skill learned during this boss encounter; the other is a traversal skill associated with the Afterglow quest.
Build comprehension with the correct deflects
- Enter the fight and watch for the skill-learning indicator.
- Wait for Ye Wanshan’s red-glint attacks and time the deflect close to impact.
- Check whether the learning meter advances after the successful response.
- Repeat until the meter is full, keeping the boss alive long enough to finish learning.
- Complete the fight, collect the result and check Flaming Meteor in your Mystic Skills list.
The red glow warns that an attack is coming; it is not always the instant to press deflect. Ye Wanshan delays several attacks, so an early input can fail even when you recognised the correct move.
Use the meter as your completion check rather than counting a fixed number of parries. If it is not moving, reassess the attack and response instead of continuing to damage the boss.
Expect a committed movement sequence
Flaming Meteor moves forward, launches a fiery spear and finishes with a descending impact. It combines movement and area damage in a longer action. Its defensive effects are damage protection, not a blanket exemption from encounter mechanics.
Our recommendation is to practise against an ordinary group with clear ground around it. Watch the starting distance, the spear’s target and the landing point. This tells you whether the skill will carry you into a hazard before you use it in a crowded boss arena.
Upgrade for the part of the skill you use
Breakthroughs add benefits tied to the spear hit, enemies in the landing area and protection during the cast. Those conditions make target placement matter. A bonus involving several enemies is not automatically fully active against one boss.
Check the next tier’s condition before spending materials. If your goal is a reliable single-target attack, first establish that both the spear and landing connect. If your goal is clearing groups, practise gathering the targets in the landing area without losing sight of dangerous attacks.

Common questions
Is Flaming Meteor a flying mount?
No. It is a combat skill with a movement and landing sequence. Meteor Flight is the separate travel unlock.
Why did killing Ye Wanshan not unlock it?
Check whether the comprehension meter filled from the required deflects before you finished the fight.
