This is another one of those bosses where the setup is pretty simple. Prioritize armor with the highest defense, and a staff with the highest attack. There are no unique gimmicks that you can take advantage of with other equipment, so focus exclusively on the stats.

The Mad Tiger is a large, aggressive beast that uses fast melee combat and employs several AOE attacks. Despite its aggressive approach to combat, the Mad Tiger is not a very challenging boss to defeat. However, if you find yourself struggling against this boss, the following tips should come in handy:

One of the biggest challenges of Black Myth: Wukong is actually keeping up the pressure on bosses, as the Destined One's strikes don't tend to do a lot of damage to the game's beefiest foes. A great answer to this problem can be found in A Pluck of Many , which creates an entire party of monkey clones to assault enemies in force. In the right scenarios, this can be a great way to turn the tides of battle, especially when its upgrade path has been completed and the duplicates gain more health and po

Memorize Recurring Patterns : The Mad Tiger has a few attacks, especially the AOE attacks, that are well telegraphed and easy to read. At close range, the boss uses a series of slashing attacks that are also avoidable if you learn how to roll through them , or sprint away just in time.

If that was all Spell Binder did, it would obviously be unappealing to all but the most masochistic, but Spell Binder makes up for everything it takes away. The physical damage inflicted by the Destined One's staff is buffed when his magic is restricted, helping to make up for its generally anemic capabilities against bosses. Taking the Spell Binder approach can also make dealing with fodder enemies outside of boss encounters more effici

Maintain Distance : The Mad Tiger’s melee attacks have a deceptively long range, and unless you’re confident in your ability to dodge them, it's best to maintain a safe distance to avoid taking unnecessary damage . Maintaining some distance from the boss will also allow you to read the telegraphs and react accordingly.

So, let's put all the above information together for you. Your strategy for beating the First Prince is pretty simple: You're going to want to bait out his lunging attacks, and then pile on the damage when he is vulnerable. Once you have done that, stick close to him, and try to circle around to his backside. Now the only attack you'll have to worry about is his tail swipe. Every time he gains a little distance, close it.

His lunging attack is a good opportunity to dish out damage and get close to him (which is a better range to be at). If he stretches his arms out to the side, he is about to lunge forward. He will swipe at you in the air twice as he does this. Both of these swipes and his lunge are quite slow, so you should be able to easily dodge them. Once he hits the ground, he'll be vulnerable for a few seconds, though get to his left side, as he will slam his right hand down as he gets up. Make sure to lay into him when he is on the ground.
