Baw-Li-Guhh-Baw

By rocks, a living spring does flow, Glistening clear, glitters with glow. In its charm, a froglord does dwell, Frogs' venom, both sweet and foul. Continuing from the previous story, the Daoist was rescued from the cold pond by monks who carried him into the mountains. He initially expected them to take him to a temple for healing, but to his surprise, they threw him into a dungeon. In the dungeon, he endured beguiling chants, suffered from red eyes, and narrowly escaped death multiple times. Despite the hardships, his martial skills improved significantly, which he considered a fortunate turn of events. When he finally returned to the original spot, the frog was nowhere to be found. He left the New West and continued his journey. One sunny day, the Daoist arrived at a ridge covered in lush greenery, with a few thatched huts indicating habitation. Seeking a place to rest, he stepped into a large courtyard but accidentally fell into a hole. Inside, he found layers of spider webs and insect guais everywhere. Fortunately, he was no longer as helpless as before and managed to navigate deeper into the cave. The tadpoles he had been nurturing in his gourd suddenly became lively. He squeezed through a stone crevice and saw a large crimson-skinned frog occupying a natural spring, with insect guais keeping their distance. Drawing his sword, he attacked the frog. They fought fiercely in the water, one emitting crackling electricity, the other thrashing its limbs powerfully. As they reached a stalemate, the frog opened its mouth and extended a left hand from within, striking the Daoist's face and sending him aback. The frog then tilted its head back, and the Daoist, having learned his lesson, dared not approach. The frog spewed poisonous water, which spread and contaminated the entire pond. The Daoist hadn't anticipated this ability and, lacking any antidote, hurriedly retreated through the stone crevice. As he did, he heard a female voice behind him, "Daoist, why aren't you practicing your swordsmanship at the temple? Are you here to seek death?" Poisoned and unable to respond, he collapsed into the muddy pond. In his hazy state, he heard the woman call for help, "Quick, carry him back to the temple. We can't let him die here; it would be hard to explain."

From [Webbed Hollow](/webbed-hollow)'s Lower Hollow Shrine, turn back and go past the cocoons. On the left side, there will be a crack in the wall, go through it. As you head uphill, turn left and continue following the path. You will reach some watery area with Baw-Li-Guhh-Baw waiting there. Upon its defeat, Baw-Li-Guhh-Baw will drop [Tadpole](/tadpole), [Bodhisattva's Left Hand](/bodhisattva27s-left-hand) and [Refined Iron Sand](/refined-iron-sand).

Just like the other frogs it will use pounces, swipes, leaping attacks and back kicks to knock players back, as well as devouring players whole. It differs in melee attacks in terms of having a Buddha's hand bug for a tongue that lashes out to swat players with. Additionally it is able to spit poison that covers a wide area in a toxic puddle, as well as summon multiple geysers of poisonous liquid, badly poisoning players who linger in the poisonous puddles too long.

The hand that pops out of Baw-Li-Guhh-Baw's mouth is similiar as the [Bodhisattva's Right Hand](/bodhisattva27s-right-hand). The journal entry for the right hand details 2 guais being made from the eggs. This could be a hint as to what happened to the left handed guai when it ventured into the mountians.
