Wandering Wight, the optional boss in Chapter 1 of Black Myth Wukong: how to find and beat him easily
We take a look at how to defeat one of the optional bosses in Chapter 1 of Black Myth Wukong, The Wandering Wight.
The forests of Black Myth Wukong hide enemies that are not so easy to encounter. One of them is The Wandering Wight, an optional boss found at the beginning of Chapter 1 of the game, and besides being optional, he is one of the most complicated bosses you can find early in the game, but as always, there is a strategy to defeating him. In this guide, we will discuss where to find this Yaoguai Chief and how to defeat him.
Where to find The Wandering Wight?
First, you need to find this boss, which is very easy to find. It is located on the main path leading to the main boss of the Forest of Wolves. The Wandering Wight is guarding the main path to the tunnel entrance that leads to the Guanyin Temple and the boss of that area. A more specific place to find him is outside the Forest Shrine towards a small bridge and from there to a clearing.
How do you defeat the Wandering Wight?
Now, the interesting part, how do you defeat such a large being? This can be a great opponent right from the start. The first recommendation before facing this giant is to get better equipment and skills to be able to face it, even if it is another Yaoguai Chief, especially Guangzhi.
One thing you need to know is that this enemy has the following attack patterns, which are deceptive in their power and speed:
- two long foot stomps, which can be easily dodged
- Up to three spinning sweeps that are dodgeable, but the total number of spins can vary.
- Earthquake (you can tell he will perform this attack by waving his hands before holding one in the air). You can sometimes dodge it with Pillar Stance, or cast Immobilize to prevent him from completing it.
Remember that this boss can take some time to defeat and his different attacks can take some time to learn. Remember to check your Health bar and if you already have the Red Ties Transformation spell, it will be best to use it to become a Wolf Guai to get a new Health bar for a while.
What rewards does the Wandering Wight drop?
When killed, this enemy will drop the following: Wandering Wight Spirit, Cat’s Eye Beads, Stone Spirit, 691 Will, 1,049 Experience. Another reason why it is important to advance a bit before facing this boss is that you will need to have met the Ancient Master in the Bamboo Grove, as without his teachings you will not be able to obtain the Wandering Wight Spirit that this enemy drops.
