One such challenge boss fight is the Wandering Wight, which is an optional but notoriously tough boss found in the very first region of the game. Players will come across the boss as it wanders in the forest ready to be challenged. Here’s a guide on how to defeat the Wandering Wight and add another victory to the list.

Understanding and Preparing for Wandering Wight Fight in Black Myth Wukong

Since this optional boss fight can happen fairly early inBlack Myth Wukong, players don’t have much equipment and won’t be able to go deeper in the talent tree. To help with this, players should try to focus on Stamina as much as possible with some light attack combos. The first course of action is to go to the nearest shrine, Outside the Forest, and rest.

During the first encounter, consider skip past the boss as players will be transformed into a cicada, making them undetectable. The reason for this is that players won’t be able to collect the boss’ spirit as it requires a Gourd which they won’t receive until later.

However, if players want to take the challenge head-on, one of the best perks to unlock would be immobilized as it will stun the boss and players can get a few combos in. Since players can’t block attacks, they will be dodging most enemy attacks, and having low stamina means chaos, it is recommended to get some stamina perk as well.

SinceBlack Myth Wukongwasone of the most anticipated games of the year, many players pre-ordered the game. Due to this, they will receive some items at the start which include the Bronzecloud Staff, Folk Opera armor set, and a special gourd. Equipping these items will help players in the early stages.

How to Defeat the Wandering Wight Boss in Black Myth Wukong?

Now that players have equipped their best armor and prepared for the fight, it is time to learn the moveset of the boss. Since the boss fight takes place in a relatively open area with plenty of room to maneuver, it is recommended to keep a safe distance from the boss.

The main attack that players need to look out for in the early stages of the fight is the right-hand slam on the ground. The initial attack is fairly easy to dodge but what makes this attack dangerous is the following shockwaves which it releases. There are 4 shock waves and each of them increases in radius so the best way to dodge them is by moving away from the boss.

After the shock wave attack and a few other hand swings (assuming the player got a few hits in), the boss will start doing a dangerous beam attack that does a lot of damage but also leaves the boss vulnerable for a few seconds, get close and put some damage in.

These 2 are the most damaging attacks but what makes this difficult is that the boss can make a few combos itself as well. It will try to close the gap and try to grab the players or suddenly do a sweeping attack. Players need to always be on guard and try to maintain their stamina gauge. Until now, the main focus of the guide was to be defensive and exploit the boss’s recharge time but there are ways to be offensive.

Offensive Maneuvers: The best and safest way to hit the boss is when it is immobilized, players can try to farm some talent skill tree points and unlock the Immobilize skill which allows them to stun the enemy for a certain duration. The only caveat is the long cooldown and the duration. Another way to stun the enemy is by landing a heavy attack or a landing a 5-step light attack combo.

In the early stage of the game, the most essential to manage is your stamina bar and the cooldown of the various skills. Remember to always be at a safe distance and take your time during the fight (no time limit).

This fight might take a few tries but by understanding the boss’s attack pattern and employing effective strategies, anyone can conquer this formidable foe and earn the rewards for their perseverance. In the end, keep honing your skills, and you’ll find yourself more than capable of overcoming even thetoughest challenges that lie ahead inBlack Myth Wukong.
