How to Beat Guangzhi

Black Myth Wukong - Guangzhi Banner

Guangzhi is a fast-moving boss that can easily punish slow, charged attacks. Instead of charging heavy attacks manually, focus on dodging and using Light Attacks to build up Focus Points. Once you’ve built up enough Focus Points, you can unleash an instant fully-charged Heavy Attack for significant damage.

How to Beat Wandering Wight

Defeating Guangxhi, an easier boss nearby, unlocks a transformation that can be useful in fighting the Wandering Wight, thanks to its solid moveset, high damage output, and ability to tank a few hits.

The Immobilize spell is an important tool to upgrade as it gives you an opportunity to fight back and another chance to stagger the boss. Be careful of using the Immobilize spell during the an enemies attack, as if doesn't stagger after the spell, it will hit you afterwards.
