Black Myth: Wukong is made as a souls-like, which means that bosses play a big role in the game. Each such enemy is a serious challenge, so you can get stuck on them for a long time. In this guide, we will tell you the best tactics for fighting the most dangerous enemies.
Chapter 1. Erlan - Sacred Deity
- Location: Tutorial boss in the prologue
- Difficulty: 0
The tutorial boss will help you figure out which buttons to press. You can't lose the fight because the monkey king has infinite health.
Reward: none.
Guardian Bull
- Location: Wolf Forest, Near Hills
- Difficulty: 1
The first serious opponent on your way. Fortunately, defeating him is not that difficult if you understand the behavior pattern. The bull hits quite hard, but takes a long time to react and generally behaves extremely slowly. This is an advantage that is worth using.
Important - sometimes the Bull can be stunned by heavy attacks, which will give you time to combo with light attacks. Don't forget about healing, it will come in handy in any case. When the boss's health drops to half, a cutscene will start, after which you will master your first spell "Immobilize". Use it, and then hit only with light attacks to quickly end the fight.
Reward: 394 Will, 2 Yarn.
Guan Zhi
- Location: Wolf Forest, Forest (outside)
- Difficulty: 5
The path to the boss may not be the most obvious, and it is not necessary for the main story. However, defeating Guan-zhi will give you your first transformation, which will make life much easier in the future. From the fast travel point indicated in the Location, go forward across the bridge, and then a little further until you see torches leading to the arena.
The boss wields a double-edged staff that is also on fire. This is an important point, as each missed hit accumulates the burning state. If the scale is full, the Chosen One will begin to lose health. To put out the flames, dodge 3-4 times.
The main thing in combat is to wait and not rush into trouble. While the wolf is casting its combo attacks, there is no point in approaching it. An especially unpleasant attack is when the boss suddenly rushes at you, reducing the distance almost instantly. Do not forget to use "Immobilize" whenever it is available. Dodging perfectly is not at all necessary, but you will have to carefully monitor the distance so as not to miss the attack window.
If you feel that you lack health, explore other places and level up. You can always return to the boss later. For the victory, you will receive his form and will be able to temporarily become a formidable wolf with a fiery staff.
Reward: 567 Will, 1 Stone Spirit.
Wandering Dead
- Location: Wolf Forest, Forest (outside)
- Difficulty: 3
This enemy is easy to spot because of its size. It stands in the way of your main objective, but you don't need to kill it right away. You can come back later. The undead itself is not the most difficult boss, but it has a few "tricks" that can make you spend quite a lot of time with it. Another thing to keep in mind is to defeat the undead before the fight with Venerable Elder Jin-chi.
So, to defeat the undead, start the fight with a heavy attack, and then immediately immobilize it. Your stamina should be enough for about three full combo attacks. After each, the undead will be stunned and will not attack. Even when the spell wears off, continue attacking until your stamina runs out. Immediately after that, activate the transformation. If it is still not there, the fight will drag on for a long time. After the transformation, hit with heavy attacks, and then maneuver at a sufficient distance until the immobilization spell recharges. Try to have trees or rocks between you.
The undead attacks with its legs or hands, but all these attacks are not as scary as a single combination that can kill you right away. When the boss stomps on the ground and raises stones around himself, run behind some obstacle immediately. The stones will be thrown back by energy, and you along with them, if you haven’t hidden, but this is not the end - there will be two more similar attacks, each with an increasingly larger area. In conclusion, the undead will direct a stream of air towards the hero. It is this final attack that deals a monstrous amount of damage, and it is also homing. There is only one way to survive - stand behind a tree or a rock. Keep in mind that trees will not save you from the first three attacks.
Reward: 755 Will, 3 Yarn, Cat's Eye Beads (equipment). A little further along in the story, you will upgrade your bottle of life force and be able to open another short transformation. If you have already done this, the soul of the undead will become one of these transformations. If the boss is defeated earlier, the soul can be bought later near the shrine.
Lin Xu-tzu
- Location: Wolf Forest, Guanyin Temple
- Difficulty: 4
The first real story boss, but not the hardest. The same wolf or undead can cause much more problems. The boss is a huge white wolf, who attacks exclusively with his paws and, less often, with his mouth.
Start the fight by immobilizing and immediately perform a combo attack. Then try to move to the back of the boss. He does not attack from behind, so this position is relatively safe. The boss has two unpleasant attacks. The first is when he falls on his back, rolls and then swings his paws. The second is when the wolf jumps from the roof of the temple. This attack always has a very slow start, so you can prepare. To avoid damage, run not from the wolf, but as close to him as possible. When the boss jumps, his trajectory will be higher than the hero is standing, so the attack will miss.
In this fight you will definitely have to heal, so remember the moment that is always worth considering. While the Chosen One drinks from the bottle, he is completely defenseless. It is much more effective to lose a lot of health and restore it at once twice, instead of once. Such a tactic will save your life more than once.
Dodge the sweeping strikes to the side, but jump back from the mouth attack. It has a short range but a wide angle, so the gap is the best choice.
Reward: 754 Will, Gray Wolf Mask (headgear), 3 threads, Mind Core (material).
Bao-li-gu-lan
- Location: Bamboo Grove, Snake Path
- Difficulty: 2
An optional frog boss that won't give you any problems. You can find him if you stay left of the shrine and jump into the pond. You should come out into a spacious arena, where you will immediately be attacked by aggressive smaller frogs. It is advisable to eliminate them immediately, since otherwise they can complicate the battle. You can fight him if you want to collect all the spirits. For victory, you will be able to turn into this very frog.
Reward: 384 Will, 1 Stone Spirit, Tadpole (material).
Guan-mou
- Location: Bamboo Grove, Snake Path
- Difficulty: 3
A tough opponent who will be much weaker if you have the transformation. You can find him if you jump from the shrine to the lower area where you killed the frog, but go right into the grove with snake skeletons. Keep to the right and you will find a passage to the arena. Guan-mou is a plot enemy, so you will not miss the fight in any case.
This is the first mage on your way, who casts various spells from a distance. The first is bluish spheres that will smoothly fly towards you, the second is sharp aimed shots of magic, the third is a swarm of flies that slowly approaches and deals damage for some time and the fourth is snakes from the ground that spit poison. The boss himself regularly teleports around the arena, so you still need to catch him to attack.
Start the fight with a heavy attack, then freeze Guan-mou and perform a light attack combo. Immediately after that, change form to set the enemy on fire during heavy attacks. Another reason to use heavy attacks is because they suddenly pull you to the enemy, regardless of the distance. When the snakes appear, remove focus from the boss and hit the snakes' heads. For winning, you can transform into Guan-mou to summon those very snakes.
Reward: 528 Will, 1 Stone Spirit, Iron Bull's Blood (material).
Xiucai in white clothes
- Location: Bamboo Grove, White Mist Marshes
- Difficulty: 6
Another story boss that can be a big challenge. This is the first enemy with a double health bar and two very different phases of the fight. You will have to use everything you have learned so far. The fight starts with Xiucai lunging with his spear while jumping. To avoid taking damage right away, dodge forward and to the side. The entire first phase is an attempt to quickly deal with the enemy without wasting health packs.
Immediately after dodging, immobilize the enemy. Perform a series of attacks, but the boss will not be stunned. Immediately after unfreezing, he will begin to attack. Circle attacks are relatively safe - you can dodge them. Much worse are direct attacks, which end most combos. The boss also has another attack that can ruin your entire strategy. The first phase implies that you will often be close to the enemy, but in fact, this is not entirely true. You need to break the distance, since the attack when vertical lines fly towards you is the most dangerous. If you are too close, you will receive the full amount of damage and can immediately die. But at a distance from it, it is much easier to dodge.
After the first freeze, immediately activate the transformation and attack with heavy blows. Ideally, you need to achieve such a result that during the first phase you no longer use spells and drink a maximum of one first aid kit.
The second phase will require a different approach. The boss will grow a snake tail and will move much faster, including underwater. Most of his attacks are useless, except for one - a quick lunge forward across the entire arena. And here you should not be far away, but on the contrary - as close as possible. As practice shows, in this case, the lunge becomes almost useless. The main task is to survive the process of other attacks of the boss, continuing to damage him. And here the first aid kits will come in handy. You will probably need several attempts to comprehend our recommendations and feel the timings, but in the end this is almost the only working strategy. In addition, we advise you to return to the grove to the snakes and farm a few levels there. For success, we advise you to distribute the sparks so that the talents responsible for the size of endurance and health are pumped to the maximum. The rest is not so necessary for you, since there will be no time for heavy attacks, and dodging is more important perfectly, not often.
Reward: 687 Will, 3 Threads, Jade Fang (material).
Venerable Elder Jin-chi
- Location: Hidden Place: Old Temple, Main Hall
- Difficulty: 3
This is a hidden boss that you may not be able to reach. However, it is worth defeating, as you will receive a very useful artifact. As you progress, you may have found two bells. You can hit them with a ram. After defeating Xiucai, go straight ahead instead of to the right. You will see a tree with a hanged man and several weak enemies. A little further on, there will be the last third bell. As soon as you ring it, immediately move to a hidden location. There is equipment here - it will come in handy.
The Elder is an upgraded version of the Wandering Wight. However, in some ways, it is a bit easier. There are many walking dead around the Elder. They will not attack on their own, so do not pay attention. Freeze the Elder immediately, but you will not be able to stun him over and over again. Perform a combo that works. The boss will start chasing you. His attacks are slow, but they hit hard enough. Dodge and wait for the moment to transform to attack with fire.
At some point, the elder will start acting differently. In the first case, the minions will start glowing yellow and will run towards you. If you hesitate, you will get an explosion in the face, so run away. Keep eye contact with the boss, as he will usually start attacking before the kamikazes stop running towards you.
The second "trick" is that the boss hovers over the arena, and minions gradually appear and hobble towards him. If they get close enough, they will give the boss their life force. Quickly eliminate everyone from a distance.
After such movements, the whole cycle will repeat. Your task is not to rush and calmly wait until the spells recharge. As a reward, you will receive the Fire Cape, which gives complete protection from fire. Do not forget to take it off the hanged man when you return to your world.
Reward: 2000 Will.
King of the Black Wind
- Location: Black Wind Cave (inside)
- Difficulty: 4
In fact, the difficulty of this fight depends largely on what level you come in at. If you spent a lot of time on Xiucai and leveled up, then the Black Wind King will seem much weaker than he could be.
The Tsar fights with a spear and attacks three times at a time. It won't be hard to dodge them. And the Tsar only has one health bar. The boss uses fire and air magic. Both of these skills are easy to read.
When the boss disappears, he starts moving in a clot-dodge. When the Tsar drinks from a bottle - it means he will spit fire. If you stand at a sufficient distance - the blow may not work at all (this happened to us). The battle tactics are the same as always - freeze him and hit him with everything you have. The rest of the time, navigate the situation.
The main attack to be wary of is a large air flow in the center of the arena. It is better to stay away at such moments. Another important point is that closer to the end of the battle, the boss will start to seem to teleport and attack from different points. You just need to wait out this moment through dodging. After such a series, the Tsar is vulnerable to light attacks. After defeating the boss, you will learn the invisibility spell.
Reward: 696 Will, 1 Stone Spirit.
Black bear-guai
- Location: Black Wind Cave, Bodhi Peak
- Difficulty: 5
So, we have come to the final boss of the first chapter. In theory, he is considered the strongest in comparison with the previous ones, but to us he seemed about the same as the King of the Black Wind. In battle, it is not so much skills that are important, but well-timed dodges. The rest is a matter of time.
The bear attacks with sweeping blows of its paws, about three in a row. In addition, it jumps on the hero's position and accelerates sharply. In general, all this is not a problem. It will become worse towards the middle of the fight, when the boss burns the ground and it is covered with lava. Use the mantle to protect yourself from the fire. Also, the bear's paws will become fiery and a new attack will be added when the boss disappears, like the King, and moves around the arena like a fiery wind.
The tactics for winning are not much different from the previous ones. Freeze the enemy, and then apply light attacks. Then use transformation, and then repeat until victory. It all depends on whether you have enough overall health and how hard you hit. Make sure to craft the last of the available armor, this will make the battle easier.
Reward: 990 Will, 1 Flame Ebongo, 5 Yarn, 2 Silk, 1 Yaoguai Core, 1 Stone Spirit, 1 Mind Core.
