Wise Mari is the first boss in the Temple of the Jade Serpent.
Shortly before the sha eruption, Wise Mari accepted the help of the adventurers who found his staff that was lost because of sprites. The waters of the Temple of the Jade Serpent have been tainted by the Sha of Doubts influence, and the jinyu waterspeaker Wise Mari was tainted right along with them.[1] He was then killed by the same adventurers thus cleansing himself.
Wise Mari appears as a ghost on the Timeless Isle participating in the Celestial Tournament with Carpe Diem, River and Spirus.

- Call Water — Wise Mari summons a Corrupt Living Water from one of the four smaller fountains to attack the players.
- Corrupt Living Water — At Wise Mari's orders, the sha-corrupted waters of the fountain coalesce into a water elemental.Defeating a Corrupt Living Water causes it to split into three Corrupt Droplets.

Strategy[]
When you start the encounter, Mari will bubble himself and begin to corrupt the waters in the room. Be sure to not stand in any of the water. He will begin to summon Living Waters, which are simple adds that can be quickly tanked and killed. Although they do drop Sha Residue, like the trash before the boss, so trying to kill the adds away from the group is advised. Once you have killed four Living Waters, Mari will unshield himself and begin casting Hydrolance, which will cause him to slowly spin, dealing massive damage to anyone in front of him. Move around in a clockwise circle to avoid getting hit by Hydrolance, and begin DPSing him, being sure again to stand only on the dry sections of floor around him.
