Black Myth: Wukong takes you on a journey as the Destined One, battling countless bosses on your way to your destiny. Among these bosses, there are mandatory ones that you must defeat to progress through the main story.

However, Red Loong isn't as tough as he seems once you realize you can easily bring him to his knees. Staying aggressive and consistently landing hard-hitting attacks will cause the boss to fall onto its side , exposing the censers on its back, its weak point, open to your flurry of attacks.

As a dragon boss, Red Loong boasts tough scales that grant him an inherently high base defense , and his attacks integrate lightning that causes the Shock Bane to build . Refer to the table below for a detailed breakdown of his attacks and how to counter them.

Like Curios, Relics also offer ongoing passive benefits. In your first playthrough, there are a total of 5 relics. You will receive one after you complete each of the first 5 chapters. They each come with 3 perks and you must select one.

Below is a listing of all available Curios in-game. Click on a specific item for further details. While information may not be complete at this moment, these items will continue to be updated as all information becomes available. Be sure to check back regularly for more on these unique armor pieces.

At close range, Tiger Vanguard may unleash a 4-hit combo with his sword. The first attack is a quick kick into two quick slashes , while the final slash is very delayed and can be challenging to avoid. The boss may also follow up with another 3-hit sword combo , where all three strikes are done in quick succession.

Keep in mind that if you select a perk and then later regret that decision, your choice can be undone. Simply interact with a shrine and select "Reignite the Sparks" under the Self-Advance category. Then select your relics in order to rest the selected perk.

Defeating the Stone Vanguard in Chapter Two allows you to craft the Gale Guardian Armor set , in which the chest piece boosts Shock resistance . Wearing the full set also grants additional focus and reduces spell cooldowns on a Perfect Dodge , something that can be easily pulled off against Red Loong's attacks.

The second available Stance, unlockable once you've invested a total of five Sparks , is Pillar Stance. This stance can seem underwhelming at first glance but truly shines when facing off against groups or enemies with wide-reaching attacks that travel along the ground. Pillar Stance's heavy attack allows you to perch atop your staff for as long as you hold the button, extending the staff based on how many focus points you have. Perching puts you beyond visit the following website page reach of most melee attacks, though attacks striking the staff will drain your stamina and you'll be knocked down if it runs out. Releasing the heavy attack button will cause you to drop, performing a long-reaching slam with the extended staff that can easily strike multiple foes.

The boss may assume a martial arts stance, and rush at you for a 4-hit combo . The initial strike is just a kick, followed by two punches . The boss will then jump into the air and smash the ground with his fist to finish the combo.

Crafting Shock-Quelling Powder is also essential for this boss battle. This consumable cures Shock and temporarily increases resistance to it. You'll learn to craft it by completing the Xu Dog deity's request after defeating Lang-Li-Guhh-Baw in Sandgate Village.

After defeating the Stone Vanguard, you'll also gain entry into the Crouching Tiger Temple , where Xu Dog will allow you to craft Wujin Pills , which permanently boosts Shock resistance, in exchange for Mind Cores .

Keeping with the theme of darting in and out of melee range, Thrust Stance's variable combo (once unlocked) performs a backstep when you use a heavy attack during a light attack combo, carrying you back a short distance. If you tap heavy attack again and have at least one focus point, you can follow this with a ranged jab similar to the stance's heavy attack which can be followed up with Whirling Thrusts if desired. With the right upgrades, you can also transition Whirling Thrusts into the Tactical Retreat backstep to disengage.

This attack is easy to predict. As soon as you see Tiger Vanguard assume the stance, be ready for this. You can easily avoid the entire combo by dodging . The final hit is slow and can be easily avoided even if your dodge timing is off.

Your armor loadout doesn't stop at your the threads your curated Destined One is wearing. You will also have two slots to equip Curios. Pick your objects wisely.
