Of course, he isn't invincible either. With a fitting strategy and patience, you can do better than this boss and continue on in your journey.

How to Beat the Black Wind King in Black Myth Wukong

The Black Wind King is a really strong enemy that must be fought in Black Myth: Wukong. To fight him, use the Veiled Vipers ability from your Guangmou transformation. This will summon a deadly horde of venomous vipers to distract the King and buy you some time to make your move.

Be careful while getting closer to him, as he may spit strong flames of fire from his gourd. However, a perfectly charged heavy attack during this phase will save you and cause significant damage.

The Black Wind King's trickiest move is when he turns into a wisp of the wind. Here when he is rushing to ambush you, jump towards his direction or make a perfect dodge. He will do the same thing a few times and switch back to his human form. You can be cautious here and stand a safe distance away and rush when he has landed.

One last attack to be wary of is his thrusting attack in which he throws his weapon. Stand at just the right distance in front of him and this attack will go right over you, giving you a chance for a counter-strike as he retrieves his weapon. You can also watch out for his four-hit combo, which can quite easily be dripped by moving to the side.

As it goes on, the Black Wind King will start to get a little bit mean, using some lunge attacks that end up making him disappear and reappear. Just keep moving and dodge in the opposite direction to avoid said attack.

Make most of the damage output during the King's recovery phases or after he has just finished a combo. Charged heavy attacks work best. Save your transformation into Guangzhi for the end of the fight; this consistent damage source will make it easier to keep moving to dodge attacks.

If it is an immobalize spell available to you, use it. It can't be used against the King wisp form. It doesn't have many aggressive lunge attacks, so keeping a distance is generally safe.

Using these strategies, you can defeat the Black Wind King and move on further in your journey. He possesses the Cloud Step spell, so having an extra cool spell at your service is guaranteed. Defeat him in battle.
